Divorce
Divorce is a sensitive subject. Is there ever a reason to divorce? And if we divorce, does God condone remarriage?
The debate is too involved to address in two or three paragraphs. So I will keep it to a few principles that are clear.
God designed marriage (Mt 19:5-6).
God designed marriage to be between one man and one woman (Mt 19:4).
God designed for marriage to involve sexual intercourse (Mt 19:5).
God has made provision for divorce because of the hardness of the human heart (Mt 19:8)
God only accepts divorce and remarriage when the marriage covenant is broken by infidelity (Mt 19:9).
But, as in all cases, we must always use all scripture to come to conclusions about any one subject. 1 Corinthians chapter 7 gives us enough information to know that God does sanction separation in some cases (1 Cor 7:10-11).
