Divorce: The Sin Preachers Nod & Wink At

I believe we all come with some baggage. However, a divorced person more than doubles it, I’m sure. That’s just logic. You disagree?

Like almost everything, context matters.
All divorces are not the same.
All divorced people are not the same.
You disagree?

Not if the marriage involves two Christians and the marriage has been consummated. Only death can break the bond of marriage. If divorce does occur, the two Christians are obligated to never remarry an outside person, but of course they’re free to remarry one another (as they should to restore the bond). Marriage is more than just a legal contract, it’s a covenant before God.

So, if 2 Christians marry, there is no biblical justification for divorce?

I’d say 99.99% no. There may be some rare exception that would justify a divorce, but it would be something so rare it wouldn’t be worth even mentioning. The two partners are free to live separately as man and wife, but a contract with God cannot be broken, even if the state of North Carolina says it is.

Who decides whether the rare exception is justification?
Biblical marriage is a covenant, not a contract.
Biblical Marriage is from and of God…a covenant between a man, a woman and The Lord. The state treats it as a contract.

Counseling. Work on the marriage for restoration.

Great in theory and counseling is a viable option.
However serial and adultery that is nor repented of or forsaken cannot be counseled into health.

Adultery that is not repented of and serial abuse are justification for divorce.
Again, context matters and every instance is different.

Your view, in my view, is unbiblical.

For example, if the marriage has not been consummated. Or, perhaps, you found out that you married a relative, or maybe you were married under false pretenses, etc.
