Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "I don't rely learning spiritual matters from man. We have Jesus' perfect teachings."
Mt 19:8
"What about it?"
You said that you were interested in Jesus' teaching. There you go.
"What you did was just trolling."
Meshak: I don't rely learning spiritual matters from
man. We have Jesus' perfect teachings.
SD: Mt 19:8
You will quickly notice that Matthew 19:8 is colored red in your bible. That
means Jesus said it.
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: [Matt 19:8-10]
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery [Matt. 19:9].
Adultery breaks the marriage relationship and provides the one ground for divorce. Somebody says to me, "Yes, but here is this poor Christian woman, married to a drunkard!" Or a fine Christian man is married to a godless woman. What about that? Well, believers may separate on other grounds, which seems to be the whole point of 1 Corinthians 7, but divorce is permitted on only one basis, adultery.
Divorce was granted for the purpose of permitting the innocent party to remarry. This rule is applicable only to believers; God is not regulating the lives of unbelievers but is holding them to the message of the Cross first. God wants the unbeliever to come to Christ. He is lost whether he is married, divorced, or single. It makes no difference until he accepts Christ. The important thing to note is that for believers He puts down one ground for divorce: adultery.
Now suppose there is a believer whose spouse got a divorce on another ground. What about the innocent party? Well, if there has been adultery there, and in most cases there has been, then the innocent party is permitted to remarry. I believe that is the whole thought in this particular case.
Now, there is something else here that is important—
His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry [Matt. 19:10].
The disciples are saying, "Well, in that case it would be better to stay single." Well, you would avoid a lot of trouble—there is no question about that. McGee, J. V. (1991). Thru the Bible commentary: The Gospels (Matthew 14-28) (electronic ed., Vol. 35, pp. 75–76). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.
[Fornication/adultery, Mt 19:9]
"In this passage of Scripture, the Lord Jesus Christ (in red letters!) gave grounds for divorce. The first Biblical ground for divorce is "fornication." This clears up the erroneous teaching that fornication is sexual relations before a person marries and adultery is having sexual relations outside of marriage. Clearly, a married person can commit the sin of fornication. So fornication is unlawful sexual relations regardless of whether or not it is before marriage or after marriage. In other words, both singles and married people are capable of committing the sin of fornication. If a person joins themselves sexually to someone other than their spouse, they are guilty of the sin of fornication and it is grounds for divorce..."
