I do believe our winking at divorce (the American church began to “accept” it in the 60s) began the ball rolling wherein the value of marriage was denigrated.
Now, in this culture, the view of marriage is even more perverted.
It’s not as much a moral issue as much as it represents our dismissal of Scripture. We placed a prohibition on some Scripture.
In the Lessons and Carols, they took out the verse in Genesis that states that the man shall rule over the woman. They had to explicitly remove it.
As a Sunday School teacher, I have taught 1 Tim and Jesus’ words on divorce. When people objected, I simply stated “I didn’t write this. It’s not in my handwriting. Don’t blame me”.
It is to the point where it would be impossible to preach the whole NT from the UMC pulpit. OK maybe you could do in the Holston conference but that’s about it.
