DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE
Written by Kenute P. Curry This begins a 6-part series on "Divorce and Remarriage."
DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE - PART 1 (Matthew 5:32)
"But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery."
Divorce was allowed in cases of adultery. Luke 16:18 must be understood in the light of this verse. This verse assumes that divorced people will remarry. If the divorce is not for sexual immorality, then any remarriage is adultery, because God does not acknowledge the divorce.
"Sexual immorality" is a general term that includes pre-marital sex, extramarital infidelity, homosexuality, and bestiality.
