Is Divorce and Remarriage Biblically Permitted?
We live in a culture that does not value commitment, and is quick to justify almost any action with nothing more than the grounds of personal happiness.
We know the Bible states that God hates divorce. But there is ambiguity in the passages that describe under what conditions a divorce is permissible. Is it permitted at all? Is remarriage permitted? What about divorce in the case of ministry leaders?
This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Lisa Preston discuss these questions, the various interpretations of Scripture, and how one would counsel a couple going through it.
“The whole point of Matthew 18 is restoration, not retribution. So often in our culture, it’s easy to be vindictive instead of trying to restore.” ~ Aaron Currin
