a service which seeks to help anyone who
wants to understand what the Bible says
about divorce
If you're interested in a Biblical model of
marriage, divorce and remarriage, you may also be interested
in a Biblical model of Creation. See the above sermon to see
why Evolution is Bad Science and Bad Theology.
If
you have any questions, please feel free to contact us, but don't forget to check out what
we say before you do.
Unlike many other advisors you may have
heard, we believe that:-
God allows divorce to Christians and
non-Christians in certain limited circumstances.
The Bible gives a number of clear
grounds where a Christian can freely divorce their spouse.
God allows those properly divorced to
remarry.
Marriage ends at divorce - it does not
carry on in God's eyes until death.
Those who God has allowed to divorce
he does not limit, in ministry or otherwise.
The Bible contains a number of key insights which make its teaching on divorce easy to
understand. Without these insights, in our culture, we
can easily become confused about what the Bible is saying.
The Bible is our sole guide on God's
view of marriage, divorce and remarriage, and so we need
to consider all the relevant scriptures, not just one or two verses out of context.
But primarily we believe in marriage. Marriage is ordained
of God - divorce is a consequence of sin. For this reason we also recommend
taking a look at top
ten reasons I'm not divorcing my wife by James
Watkins (off site).
The
biblical concept of "One Flesh" - showing that sex is not marriage
and does not make it permanent, but that denial of sex
can be biblical grounds for divorce.
Marriage
and the Master -
how divorce is valid if someone becomes a Christian, and
their marriage partner leaves them.
What God has not
joined together - showing
that God's command that Christians should not marry non-Christians
is in itself grounds for divorce in such marriages.
