HoosierHomeschooler View Profile History	Legitimacy of Divorce and Remarriage Posted : 16 Oct, 2015 06:41 PM I've commented on a couple threads here on this topic and one sister asked me to explain my understanding of the topic. Whether you agree or disagree with me, this will at least get you looking at the key passages on the topic. http://proclaimingnewbirth.blogspot.com/2015/10/legitimacy-of-divorce-and-remarriage.html Post Reply
View Profile History	Legitimacy of Divorce and Remarriage Posted : 20 Oct, 2015 04:13 AM I don't typically comment in this thread at all, but I wanted to ask you if maybe the second reason you gave for divorce could be taken out of context in a situation where one spouse may be just "sick" of the other and read this and think it's lawful reasoning for divorce? That was my only question /concern. Post Reply

But physical or sexual abuse is not something to which one should have to keep submitting. I know some cry "abuse" over things that probably aren't. But I also know people repeatedly beaten up or threatened to be killed by their spouses. Post Reply
God_is_my_Father View Profile History	Legitimacy of Divorce and Remarriage Posted : 3 Nov, 2015 11:07 PM Would you please explain the differences between the three statements made in the various texts, so that they each speak truth to the various target audiences and do not contradict each other? Because it seems that Jesus gave one, and only one reason (exception) where a man could divorce, remarry, and not commit adultery; and only gave that exception to one of the 3 target audiences; and that the exception only applied if the man got the divorce for that one reason; and that only by fulfilling those conditions could he escape committing adultery if he married another. So how do you reconcile them if such is the case? Luke 16:18 "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits (marital) adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits (marital) adultery." Mark 10:11-12 "So He said to them, �Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits (marital) adultery against her. 12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits (marital) adultery.� " Matthew 19:9 "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for πορνειας, and marries another, commits μοιχαται; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits μοιχαται."

God_is_my_Father View Profile History	Legitimacy of Divorce and Remarriage Posted : 3 Nov, 2015 11:17 PM apparently the program doesn't read Greek. Matthew 19:9 �And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for porneias (sexual immorality), and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits moxitai (marital (adultery)).� Let�s restate it for clarity. And I say to you, Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. However, if she had already committed porneias (sexual immorality), and he divorces her for that reason, he will not be guilty of committing moxitai if he marries another (based on his divorce, if however, there is an issue with the woman he wants to marry, they do not get a pass for her situation, just because he gets a pass for his), AND, whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.
