Featured Divorce, Remarriage and Preaching Part II

Triple post

 

only sexual immorality

 

As with everything else, it depends on the dispensational setting (2Ti.2:15).
Depending on the dispensations, there are overall 3 acceptable reasons for remarriage:
1) Death 2) Defilement 3) Desertion


Never forget that our God himself is a divorced man who married another since he divorced Israel and married the church:
Jer 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
But there are always Pharisees who are more royal than the king and more spiritual than God.

 

The NT does not provide for divorce or remarriage. It was permitted under certain conditions in the OT. All divorce and remarriage no matter the reason is adultery.

 

Glad to see you're suddenly a dispensationalist after all.

Strange that Hosea was more faithful to his marriage vow than God ... unless you might have misunderstood something.

 

I understand that God doesn't need my help to prop up his righteousness.
Uzzah learned that the hard way.

 

Bob Jones Sr. used to say: "I never felt like divorcing my wife, but I've sometimes felt like choking her to death".

 

The divorce issue is to Baptists what the sabbath issue was to the Pharisees.

(And no, I am not divorced but happily married by the grace of God; and I am full-on Baptist).

 

That's simply not true Dave. Jesus allowed for divorce in the circumstance of immorality.

 

I'm Baptist modified Amillennial. But the NT replaced the OT. And the NT makes no provision for divorce and especially for divorce and remarriage. It happens but it isn't for believers. Separation? Yes, but reconciliation is the only recourse.

 

That was OT. We are in the NT. Plus you have Matthew 19:9 wrong on top of it.

 

You realize not everything in the OT just goes away right?

 

Ok, you have made the claim, now support it with Scripture.

 

Do you believe the Old Covenant gave way to the New Covenant according to Jeremiah? IZf so, Matthew 19:9 is not for today. Where do you find divorce as an option for a believer in the NT?

 

Where does it say that?

 

What are you referring to specifically? And Matthew 19:19 is part of the NT Dave....

 

Christ was fulfilling the Law which he abolished on the cross. You fall from grace if you go by it instead of the New Covenant.
