The Shocking Truth About Divorce! by phil6262(m): 4:38pm On Sep 06, 2015 |
In Matthew 18:15-17, Jesus teaches that a believer who now behaves like an unbeliever and refuses to change after several warnings/ admonition should be treated like an unbeliever. So if a spouse becomes an agent of the devil and refuses to change, 1st Cor.7:15 will apply. Let the unbelieving depart. If he or she refuses, then 2nd Cor.6:14 applies (be not unequally yoked with unbelievers). God hates divorce, but even under the strict Mosaic Law, He permitted it (Deuteronomy 24:1-2). Even Prov. 21:19 says, "It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman." I therefore submit that under the New Testament, adultery is not the only ground for divorce. That is why Paul said the unbelieving can depart. Paul also said in 1st Cor. 7:27-28 (KJV) that if a man is 'loosed from a wife' (divorced), he can remarry, that it is not a sin. Of course this applies to women too. Jesus only specified adultery because He was talking to the Jews about the Mosaic law, not to the Church. He was answering a question from the Pharisees about the Law of Moses concerning divorce, which is why their question began with the phrase, "Is it lawful..." (Matthew 19:1-12, KJV). If you say that Paul contradicted Jesus' teaching, then you are calling him Antichrist, meaning that all the books he wrote (which constitutes more than half of the new testament) are satanic! |

"For I hates divorce!", says thy LORD, the GOD of Israel. Malachi 2: 16. |

praisehim:Yes. But he permitted it (Deut.24:1-2). It is not His perfect will, but it is His permissive will under certain circumstances. |
