The Divorce

^KJV Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

 

This is the only place that Jesus gives a reason for divorce. Falling out of love is not a reason. The kids are not a reason. Money is not a reason. In-laws are not a reason. Loving someone else is not a reason. Fornication is the ONLY justification for divorcement! Fornication is having sex with someone beside your married partner. Again, fornication and adultery is a sin of selfishness. Selfishness wants things MY WAY regardless of whom it hurts.

 

I can’t understand a person willing to forfeit a stable life style for a few moments of self-gratification.

 

Next week I will attempt to deal with the last phrase in this verse.

Keep praying God loves you!

 

God Bless;
