Just where did Jesus in his prohibition of Divorce mention mitigating circumstances surrounding the sordid practice. Wait, Henry VIII introduced his interpretation and so divorce is acceptable.
As for the remarriage, to remain a pastor is fornication an acceptable surrogate to maintain the position as pastor? It appears Jesus should have consulted several of you reformer types before instituting the rules and regulations.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Just where did Jesus in his prohibition of Divorce mention mitigating circumstances surrounding the sordid practice.

"And it hath been said, Whoseoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce. But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting for the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery." Matthew 5:31-32

"They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away? He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery." Matthew 19:7-9

It would be good for you to read what Jesus said again before you make a judgment...

Matthew 19:8-9

8Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."

There is that mitigating circumstance right there IN HIS WORDS.

The apostle Paul mentioned another one in his epistle, but let's stick to what Jesus taught first and then, we'll discuss what St. Paul taught.
