In the Matthew passages, written to a Jewish audience, further clarifies Moses' instructions regarding divorce. Christ says that only grievous sexual sin justifies breaking the marriage covenant and is the only reason to end a marriage.

Begging your pardon, but your training regarding the issue does not serve you well. Jesus is only speaking of the violation and termination of the pre-consummation espousal portion of the Jewish marriage process. See Deuteronomy 22:13-21 and Matthew 1:18-19.

I'm certainly not wanting to offend you.

No offense taken, but I do not believe your answer is correct, because of the reasons I sent you via pm, just before you posted.

Best.

If grievous sin would break a marriage, we as the pre-Consummation Bride of Christ would have little hope. We will not sin individually or corporately after the Bema Seat (works and rewards) and that Wedding Feast.

Molto bene . . .
