Did God actually say that or was that a translation by men in the 2nd or 3rd century? I will be honest I'm not that familiar with the Bible, (though I do believe in God very much) but is there not passages in the Old Testament about killing your wayward daughters etc? No Christian today would do that.
I said before the God I know who is a loving God. I also want to add he is a just God and a reasonable God. God would never condemn a person to a lifetime of loneliness because their spouse did something stupid that was out of their control.
My GF's ex left her for another women he met at his work after 12 years of marriage. My GF is one of the most caring, unselfish and loving person I have ever met. To say that God does not want her to get remarried and she would be condemned by HIM for doing so is not something God would ever condemn.
Since the dialog regarding Jesus redefining the conditions of divorce appear in multiple Gospels and not just in a single verse I would say that God actually said that.
"but is there not passages in the Old Testament about killing your wayward daughters etc?"
Although Jesus did not abolish the Old Testament laws He did fulfill them and gave us in their place a New and Everlasting Covenant. The dialog surrounding divorce and remarriage is but one example.
The world is full of the relativistic notion that "as long as I am a good person" the doctrines and dogma's of the Church or any church do not really matter. The problem is who determines what is good or god for you and society. Are you confident that actions that may benefit the individual but ultimately do harm to society in general are the manifest actions of a "good person"? Jesus put a great deal of emphasis on the importance and integrity of marriage. Modern society and individual bad judgments do not justify diminishing it.
Adultery on her former husband’s part and ?? on your part.
