Mat 19:7
They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
Mat 19:8
He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.Mat 19:9
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. |

Mat 19:3
The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Mat 19:4
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,
Mat 19:5
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? |

God hates "putting away", not divorce. When men put away their wives they gave the impression that the wife had committed adultery, and according to Deut 22:22 she("..shall die...) in Deut 24:1-2, God invented divorce ("...he writes her a certificate of divorce ...she leaves his house and goes and becomes another man's {wife,}") .Check it out.
(Luke 24:45 "And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.") God Bless |

It's only in ONE gospel that fornication is grounds for divorce. Maybe God did not want to stress that. When someone has committed adultery , usually (but not always) there is a window of opportunity for wronged to forgive Jesus also said if you don't forgive others, God won't forgive you. If the offending party asks for forgiveness and you don't resume the marriage, are you guilty of having a hard heart? Pray and take the time to build back trust, don't rush out and get remarried |

Carla5754 is dead-on...
No matter the reason (even adultry) we're are called to forgive the other person.
Is forgiveness easy? Hardly. But it's an inflexible rule that's in place for everyone (not everyone else). However, forgiveness does require a change.
It does not request it, it is in fact a requirement |

God is a god of relationships. Following the example of Jesus, we first have the RESPONSIBILITY TO LOVE before anything else. This world is sick with selfishness, pride, greed, envy, and the list goes on and on. It is this sickness that fuels the divorce rate. With the exception of abuse, divorce is wrong. God permits divorce in the case of infidelity, but even in this situation, we have the responsibility to love BEFORE the right to divorce. |

God is clear on divorce because it relates to his personification of his marriage covanant to Isreal/Judah. If a woman takes more than one husband it constituted whoredom thats where the name whore came from. The OT law shows men divorcing wives for unfaithfulness and such like , women were not seen to have the same authority until NT but through christ only for the same sexual immorality. |

O/T Law (Deut)is simply not relevant to N/T marriage today(Matth 5, 1Corinthians 7,Romans 7, Mark 10,Revelations) We are under GRACE men/women use O/T/L it to commit all manner of sins including divorcing for any reason (Matth 19). But in the beginning it was not so. Men are to treat their wives faithfully visa versa. If not both have the option to leave remain single/reconsile or commit adultery of which your judged already. |

Moses did not enter the promise land for making mistakes.You Just Cannot divorce in the sight of God for Any reasons other than unfaithfulness one should have mercy, just as God would take you back being so unfaithful to him. However if the situation is for peace(Unbelief) life threatening/adultery/fornication. by all means leave but remeber the OP out clause 1(sexually immorality)is THE exception to remarrying and to do so much thought and consideration both must be saved. |

wisea7358, you're only slightly off...
MAL 2:16 "I hate divorce..."
MAT 19:8 "Moses (not God) permitted..."
it's best to read the entire passage from vv1 - 8 |

Sounds kinda judgemental to me, Billy; until you've walked in someone else's very painful shoes, don't judge! Thank you |

G-d does indeed hate divorce. If believers remarry (not their spouse) it is adultery. It will never stop being adultery. If a believer is set aside, spouse remarries, spouse divorces second, G-d condemns remarrying first spouse. The word is clear. If my wife remarries it is adultery and I am free to remarry. |

I hate divorce too. It is betrayal. People who sell out the truth to obey institutional authority have fallen into the andcient tradition of men, betrayal. That's one thing you can count on in life, is betrayal. It's an epidemic. Loyalty is a rare virtue, and highly respected by love. Love the truth. |

God DOES hate divorce, however, He has said that if your spouse is cheating on you, then it is okay to get divorced. Even though God desires that couples would be as one forever on Earth. |

God hates divorce, but loves the divorced. It's often difficult to accept God's Word on divorce, but accept it or not, it is what it is...detestable to Him. Some will use this fact in order to judge the divorced. However, like any other sin, God is able to forgive and able love the sinner always. It's important that we all repent of sin, even the divorced, and in order to do that we have to first be honest with ourselves in admitting that divorce is disobedience (unless due to adultery as in Matt. 19:9). |

sorry rebecca d you're wrong. God says He hateth putting away...that means divorce. no exeption clause there |
|

Yes to answer the question ,The scriptures says God hate divorce. although he allows it because of the harden of men heart, |

---wisea7358 on 1/24/07 |
Are you sure Malachi 2:16 says this? Because it says no where in Mal 2:16 about divorce. But to answer your question, it depends on the situation of why a couple are getting a divorce. |

Norma that is exactly what the word said and the word will not lie. If you continue in that passage it will also give you very good examples of why the disciples reached their conclusion and basically said(paraphrased) Oh.... so If the situation is the same for the wife as it is for the Husband, It is Better Not to Marry. Matth 19:11. Repent means to turn completely around and go in the opposite direction. |

---Carla5754 on 1/24/07 |
Billy. The law said not to kill, but if you do kill go over here so the family of the victim can't get you. The wife is not to depart, but if she does depart to remain unmarried. The law exposed sin. If man can learn what God hates, he'll be sure to do it. We've got gay marriages helping the divorce rate now. It's already a boon for the courts. Divorce Billy, is a betrayal. That's what God hates. Remaining unmarried reduces betrayal. Submit one to another, Husbands love your wives. |

Norma the following statement found in Matthew 5:28,"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Would seem to make ever heterosexual male guilty of adultery. If that is the case, must we all go to hell? NO! But we can all be forgiven. We will all benefit from accepting God's forgiveness. |

In Matthew 5:32 Jesus says: if any man divorces for any other reason except unfaithfulness he causes her to become an adulteress and anyone who marries her commits adultery. Unfortunately adultery is one of the 10 Commandments. Does this mean that if someone divorces a husband or wife for another reason will not see the Kingdom of Heaven? |

Scripture," He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so." Matthew 19:8. Be reminded that God doesn't need my permission nor yours to exercise his sovereignty. And can therefore bless him he will bless and curse who he will curse. I have been asked more questions about divorce and remarriage and any other question outlined in Christianity. Many pastors have asked me about this. |

Yes, God hates divorce!! There is no denying that fact. It's right there in the Word of God, as clear as the nose on your face. BUT, even He says that divorce is permitted in the case of infidelity. Yes, He hates it. No, in some instances, He does not forbid it. |
