I Cor. 7:10-11 -

To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.


In the past 50 years we have grown to accept divorce and the adultery that comes from marrying another person while the spouse we vowed to (and to God) remains alive.

We do enough wrong already. Why can we not stay single or reconcile to maintain our half of the vow with God?

Because people today divorce because they want more out of life.... not ~less~.

That is why I have not remarried. In the end, I had to turn away each opportunity.

Well, since I'm divorced and remarried, I guess I might as well start take on a couple of mistresses, since obviously I'm in a perpetual state of adultery. /sarcasm

Why is that whenever I see someone slurping at the trough of legalism, it's invariably robbed them of almost all logical capability?
