New American Standard Bible (©1995) "And I saw that for all the adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and given her a writ of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear; but she went and was a harlot also. Jeremiah 3:8
The divorce issue is similar to the homosexuality issue. When scripture is taken out of context it brings trouble to the interpretation. When a church treats divorce as "sin" it has gone down a road of no return. If God gave Israel a writ of divorce then it certainly can not be a sin. Divorce is allowed within the bible. My point being the Homosexuals want scriptures removed from the bible. Those who support divorce as "sin" totally ignore other scriptures that support divorce as a last option if reconciliation does not work.
I agree with you,
I know God hates to see his children get into hurtful situations like divorce.. He hates for us to suffer. Life is hard and even harder for Gods anointed.
We must never forget that God wants us to be delivered from that, that harms us.
Other than adultery, which Scriptures “support divorce as a last option if reconciliation does not work”?
Malachi 2:15-16
15 Has not the Lord made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring.c So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.
16 “I hate divorce,” says the Lord God of Israel, “and I hate a man’s covering himselfd with violence as well as with his garment,” says the Lord Almighty.
So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith.
