Read the passage. What does adultry have to do with slavery?

In principle, what it is saying is that God did not intend divorce just as He did not intend slavery, but allowed both to exist.

So their existance in history does not mean that God approved of them.

The rest of your post is just rehash upon rehash of what has already been said in this thread.

As was yours.

Please, provide evidence IN THE CONSTITUTION that what the South did was illegal.

Because no where does it state that one when loses an election one gets quit the Union.

All the states agreed to abide the results of the process laid forth in the Constitition.

Show me where the South had any of its rights violated in the election of Lincoln?

Since no Constitutional amendment has been passed to make Secession illegal, you must still think that it is legal.

"In principle, what it is saying is that God did not intend divorce just as He did not intend slavery, but allowed both to exist. "

Well, that's a non-sequiter.

"Because no where does it state that one when loses an election one gets quit the Union. "

No where in the Constitution does it state that one must stay either. I believe this falls under the "allowance of Amendments" aspect. It was not directly addressed, so assuming one thing is just that. An assumption.

You are YET to support your claim.

"Show me where the South had any of its rights violated in the election of Lincoln?"

Seeings as you are yet to point out whether a law regarding secession even exists, why should I have to play into a ploy of explaining a legal reason WHY they seceeded? YOU believe a law exists. YOU exaplain it's workings.

"Since no Constitutional amendment has been passed to make Secession illegal, you must still think that it is legal."

You are damned right it's legal.

ALSO:

If what the CSA did in terms of secession was illegal, that means it would not be recognizable as an act by the US federal government.

This means the Civil War was in DIRECT defiance of Article 4, section 4 of the Constitution, where it is stated that-

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion"

This means that if it was not possible for the CSA to leave, that the subsequent invasion of the South was against the Constitution itself!
