Omar Phipps: Deuteronomy 24 verses 1 thru 4. It refers to a man marrying then not liking her so he hands her a "certificate of divorce". Now if wife marries another man and he rejects her and hands her a certificate, she shall not remarry to the first!
Vita Moodie: Hello,I am leaving out Jesus Christ as his divinity comes into play so he was unique in his own way.That said, I agree with a poll done in 2000 that Gutenberg was the most important because of his invention of the printing press which was such a great tool in exponentially increasing knowledge throughout the world.Cheers,Michael Kelly...Show more
Peggy Sandefer: The King James is my favorite version of the Bible. I love it just as literature. It's valuable to show what people thought and believed in those days.But I don't believe it as -fact-. It's full of misconceptions people had in those days (like the earth being at the center of! the universe). It has ambiguous passages that have been interpreted differently over time. It has inconsistencies and downright contradictions. The Old Testament has been edited, rearranged, censored, redacted, etc. many times. The New Testament is 27 books selected from HUNDREDS of books to conform to the views of a particular group of early Christians. And I think a lot of both books was never meant to be taken literally.The Bible has been used to justify all the evil people do. Slavery, genocide, wars, mass murder, exclusion, etc.etc. You name it, people have used the Bible to defend themselves. You read some passages, especially in the OT, and you might think they were written especially for this purpose!
Dee Depung: There are NO BIBLICAL GROUNDS for divorce! Jesus NEVER gave anyone the right to get a divorce! This is clear from Matthew 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." Jesus condemned all divorce! He! re is more about it at this website... http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Family/Marriage/gro...

Derrick Smsith: I am a christian and have been divorced um... 11 years now. I have not remarried. There is 1 thin! g I've found in all my years of study that kinda boils it down as to what it's okay to divorce for: Sexual immorality of the other partner. (If they cheat on you.) After being married a few years my husband got into drugs. He almost killed our then 2-year-old. No, he didn't cheat on my sexually, but at that point I was the only adult in the building and I was going to make sure he didn't kill one of us being stupid. I have never felt an okay to remarry, though. I just don't see Biblically how that can happen. Many people say that the sin of divorce is the same as any other sin and that they are all covered by the blood of the Lamb. They're right, all sin is covered. I just don't feel okay remarrying and am able to devote a lot of my time to Christ that maybe I wouldn't if I were to remarry or waste time looking for someone to marry... :-) This, my dear, is something you need to research and pray about and trust God for all for yourself. If indeed, Christ died wh! ile we were yet sinners and gave His life for us before we even sinned,! than the sin of divorce must be a covered sin, too. ...Show more
Romana Stiman: Divorce is only allowed if hardness of the heart occurs between the couple concerned. What this means it is better to live in peace than to live in constant war with your partner in marriage.In no way can you divorce relating to sexual inactivity. In other words if the wife cannot satisfy your sexual needs and you wish to take another then this is classified as adultery if you marry another.Refer to matthew 19-0 19-12 for a closer examination.I am a converted Atheist at heart but some Bible guide lines are considered to be very good building blocks governing society at large for over 2,000 years.Mosses was granted permission from God to certify the annulment of the contract in a marriage, which may have set the precedences for divorce for the future as God didn't permit any annulment in the past....Show more
Bruce Calise: You have touched upon one of the most complicated and conten! tious aspects of Christian teaching and you should not be surprised to receive a variety of different answers ranging from no divorce & no remarriage to divorce and remarriage are both permissible.Jesus was unequivocally strict on this particular issue making 4 statements on divorce in Matthew 5:31-32, 19:1-12, Mark 10:1-12 and Luke 16:18. The teachings, it seems, give no grounds for divorce which do not make remarriage tantamount to adultery. In 2 of these passages (both in Matthew) there are exceptions to this absolute in situations where one of the members of the marriage has committed adultery already (translated from the Greek word porneia which always has a sexual connotation). If one of the members of the marriage has therefore committed adultery, the other is free to divorce them and subsequently remarry.There are many problems with taking a hard line view on these passages. First, given adultery is not the unforgivable sin but some see divorce as, all you need to d! o if you want a divorce is to commit adultery, legitimately divorce, re! pent of the adultery and then you are both free to remarry. Crazy huh? Absolutely...I have spent weeks studying this issue and come to the conclusion that the way that Jewish teachers presented their teachings is pertinent to this matter. It was not uncommon for a person to present an absolute moral standard and hold this up as the standard which is God's ideal. Then you add to this grace and you realise that while things may fall short of the ideal, that doesn't necessarily make them sinful.The first place to start is with the Mosaic Law. In Deuteronomy 24:1-4 you can read the regulation of divorce. Interpretation of this passage depends upon the Hebrew words 'ervah dabar (google them and have fun reading the articles). These words are only used together in one other place in Deuteronomy 23 referring to human excrement and so one cannot say that they are unequivocally sexual in nature. This led to the difference between the school of Hillel and Shammai in Jewish thought (a! gain google them) with Hillel contending that divorce was permissible for 'any and every reason' (hence the statement of the leaders in Matthew 19 and Mark 10) and Shammai saying only adultery.On the grounds of probability and given the limited information on regulating divorce I am inclined to agree with those who think that the law in Deuteronomy 24 was only to properly regulate the practice of divorce and was not necessarily intended to limit the grounds for it. Also, it might be interesting to note that God has been through a divorce (the only recorded one in the Bible) in Jeremiah 3 - have a read for yourself!We now have to add to all this the teachings of Paul in 1 Corinthians 7. Pretty much the whole chapter is applicable. In this chapter Paul explains that a Christian should never seek a divorce but also that they should not contend the divorce if their unbelieving spouse wishes to divorce them. The words he then uses 'are not bound' carry the same connotation as th! e common divorce law and so would have likely been understood to sugges! t that they were free to remarry. This introduces another whole level of complexity for those who would regulate divorce. When is a person an unbeliever - if Jesus said we would know those who do believe because they would obey his commands and then we find that a marriage isn't working because of a failing on one or both parts of the relationship - who is the unbeliever? Does that then mean divorce can be allowed again and then afterwards a person can repent?Also we have a very real problem with people who are on their second marriage when they come to Christ - should they divorce? After all something cannot be absolutely a sin for one person and not another, can it?Accordingly I would contend this...Divorce is never good. It is far from ideal and it represents the frailty and brokenness of mankind. It demonstrates how selfish we are and how much we need a Saviour. Irrespective of the reason for the divorce, divorce should always be lamented and mourned because as marriage! represents the relationship between Christ and the church, divorce must represent the severing of this relationship - never good.However, divorce is not the unforgivable sin and so those who have suffered the brokenness of divorce should be loved and cherished by us and not shunned and hated.What then about remarriage? Surely, as Paul says, it is better to marry than to burn with passion (1 Corinthians 7:8). Such a person would do better to remain single (again from 1 Cor 7) but to remarry is not a sin - check any version of the Bible (except perhaps the NIV) and you will see that 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 say:'are you free from a wife, do not marry. But if you do you have not sinned...'Personally, if the divorced person understands why the divorce occurred and is remorseful and truly desires to put Christ at the centre of their next marriage, I would be happy to see them remarried and could rejoice with them in such a remarriage!The whole issue is, however, complicated. We sh! ould fight for marriage and join with God in hating divorce (Malachi 2:! 16). However, we should never hate the divorcee for they are a creation of God's to be loved and cherished. If they can stay single like the person who posted above me then they do a wonderful thing and are indeed (as she reports) free to serve Christ with greater devotion. For those who do remarry, we should encourage them to do so in the Lord (2 Corinthians 6) and we should rejoice with them in their new union which represents the precious relationship between Christ and the church.That divorce and remarriage is a grace of God does not mean we should exploit it. We should never treat any marriage lightly or with contempt. The teachings of the Bible are not there to justify our failings for there is no justification for those save the grace of our Lord Jesus. However, that grace does provide for us in our failings. This is a paradox - we hate divorce but we do not equally despise remarriage. However it is a paradox we can hold in Jesus for in him there is no condemnation (! Romans 8:1). Finally, I would remind you that Paul also taught that when it comes to contentious and difficult issues, each should be fully convinced in his own mind (Romans 14:5). If you are convinced that divorce and remarriage is wrong - then for you they are. If you are not convinced in this way then, within the freedom of Christ, if you are divorced and remorseful, remarry... But do not abuse the grace of God lest you find yourself suffering His justice....Show more

Dalia Causby: Hitler probably. What do you think the World would've been like had the Allied Forces not taken action
Wilfred Santacruce: First of all, no matter what view one takes in the issue of divorce it is important to remember the words of the Bible from Malachi 2:16a: âI hate divorce, says the Lord God of Israel.â According to the Bible, Godâs plan is that marriage be a lifetime commitment. âSo they are no longer two, but one. Th! erefore what God has joined together, let man not separateâ (Matthew ! 19:6). God realizes, though, that since a marriage involves two sinful human beings, divorce is going to occur. In the Old Testament, He laid down some laws in order to protect the rights of divorcees, especially women (Deuteronomy 24:1-4). Jesus pointed out that these laws were given because of the hardness of peopleâs hearts, not because they were Godâs desire (Matthew 19:8)....Show more

Hipolito Rightmire: The King James Bible is the Bible, it is the absolute Word of God, it is 100% true, 100% accurate, and 100% the fulfillment of the Lord's promise to forever preserve His Word. .Please note that it is the only Bible that is attacked by unbelievers and all religious people. The truth is always attacked. They never go after any of these other "versions". Just the KJB is the ! target of their anger and hatred.Please also note that none of those people will tell you where to find a perfect Bible. Because none of those unbelievers and religious people believe in such a thing.But I know the KJB is perfect :) ----The truth is that Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4! :5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven,! no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death.

The adultry loop hole only exists in the protestant churches. There is no such thing as a valid divorce in the eyes of God. One can though have a legal divo! rce if there never was a valid marriage there to begin with. A valid marriage is one where both parties chose to be married without coersion and were mentally competent to make the decision. They also have to be fully commited to a life long marriage and open to the procreation of children. I personally believe many protestant marriages are not valid because they were married under the precedent that if it doesn't work out, there is always the option of divorce. One can also have a legal divorce for the safety of oneself or one's children. They are still spiritually married though, until death. After we die we are no longer husbands and wives. The marriage bond is there to hold families together for the raising of children and to provide a partner to share your life with. After death, when hopefully we are in heave, all of our needs are met....Show more
