    Attachment has NOTHING to do with marriage or allowing divorce.

    To consider it as the arbitrator of what holds or constitutes binding the marriage is NOT Scriptural.

    The Scriptures teach that the only divorce allowed is by fornication and that must occur during what we would call our engagement. This is THE ONLY reading appropriate for the account of divorce that Christ gave.

    Example: Mary with child, and Joseph will to put her away (divorce) quietly.

    The Scriptures state very plainly that when the two become one flesh - that is the consummation of the marriage, there is no Scriptural divorce. NO MATTER what the other person does.

    If they go off and live a life with another person - they commit adultery.

    If they marry another person, they commit adultery.

    There is NO breaking of the attachment until death parts the union.

    God has joined the couple, and no man can put that union in the state of separation.

    To consider any other view is to totally discount the sanctity and awesomeness of the marriage.

    attachment portrays being linked. Two people who are married are are attached or at least should be attached. The same two who divorce are not longer attached even though one of them may hold deep feelings towards the other. To be attached takes a relationship and having relationships with the dead is not of the Lord as it usually ends up in talking to the dead, necromancy or divination, which is sin.

    I present the Scriptural principles as Christ laid it out.

    YOU present what you design of your own making.

    Prove me wrong by Scriptures.

    Are you so unfamiliar with what Christ said?

    The divorced person and their new partner dwell in continual adultery.

    Luke 16:18

    Whosoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whosoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery. ​


    Matthew 5:31, 32
    It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.


    The fornication MUST occur during the engagement as exampled by Joseph desiring to "put away" Mary privately. He was not going to make her divorce a public spectacle.

    No He did not say that. He said they commit adultery not live in adultery. You really need to stop adding to scripture.

    The rich young ruler came to Jesus. He had a choice to make. Jesus gave it to him. He could sell all that he had, give to the poor and follow him, or....
    He chose his riches. He was attached to his riches more than he desired to follow Christ. His attachment to riches was greater than his attachment to God.
    Do not say there cannot be an attachment to things. There is a very strong attachment to things. It is called idolatry.
