Bible Question:
Makarios ... Which do you disagree about? - Divorce permitted because of the hardness of the heart of the "innocent" person ... but is not what God wants (Mat 19:3-12). - Divorce permitted only if the unbeliever leaves (files for divorce) ... the only why a Christian is free to marry another (1 Cor 7:10-16). ... or is something else? |
Bible Answer: Once and for all, the hardhearted person spoken of here refers to the hardness of heart of the adulterous spouse. It is absurd to accuse the innocent person of having a hard heart. The very phrase "the hard-hearted innocent" is oxymoronic. |
