"The divorce problem will be solved in a society under God's law because any spouse guilty of capital crimes (adultery, homosexuality, Sabbath desecration, etc.) would be swiftly executed, thus freeing the other part to remarry" (Mark Rushdoony, Chalcedon Report #252, 1986).
I never heard of the Mark Rushdoony, however, the Heavenly Father divorced Israel ....
Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Of course for those who are Biblically limited this is a spiritual divorce.
So whomever this Rushdonny person is, he is Biblically illiterate claiming a resolution to the problem of divorce calling for capital punishment. The Heavenly Father never pronounced a capital punishment upon Israel or Judah for that matter.

I never heard of the Mark RushdoonySon of J.R. Rushdoony, regarded by most as the founder of Reconstructionism. Mark heads the Chalcedon Foundation.
