Believe as you will. Be convinced in your own mind, “as to the Lord.”

Christ said there was only one legitimate reason for divorce - adultery.

And even then, it is not God’s highest desire, nor is it required. It is just allowed as an option.

I accept His Word in its simplest expression.

[marajade]

I choose to follow the Word. Not some man’s who thinks he is God.

Christ said there was only one legitimate reason for divorce - adultery.

That is false, and qualifies at eisegesis. The fact is the word for "adultery" was not used in the passages as an exception for, but only as the result of, divorce and remarriage in Matthew's Gospel (it is porneia).

The facts are both Mark and Luke left that exception out entirely while publishing the teaching that divorce and remarriage constitutes adultery.

If one takes the broad way and wide gate, allowing divorce and remarriage for all forms of porneia, then a spouse surfing the Internet for porn, watching porn on cable, practicing any sexual immorality whatsoever, would be grounds for divorce to enable the spouse to remarry. In fact, lusting after anyone with one's eyes would be the excuse for the broad path and wide gate, leading to the similar question the Messiah was asked about divorce in the first place.
