MARRIAGE, DIVORCE & REMARRIAGE



WHY IS THERE CONFUSION
AMONG BELIEVERS OVER
THIS SUBJECT ?

Of all the places where there should be absolute agreement over a Bible subject, it should be in Bible-believing, fundamental churches. Any observant person knows, however, that simply because a church may have correct teachings on the fundamentals of the Faith, it does not mean that they are correct—or even teach— what the Bible says about divorce.

This lack of teaching for many years has left a void in the understanding of many people which has, to some extent, been filled by doctrines founded in ignorance, and old wives’ tales. This highlights a failure on the part of some preachers, evangelists, and teachers who have simply been parrots for whatever they have heard in school, but failed to investigate in Scripture themselves.

Many members of churches that are Biblically solid on other issues, do not know what the Bible, in CONTEXT and in TOTAL teaches about divorce and re-marriage. As a result, some people who have been touched by divorce are made to feel that they must wear a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives. As a result, many are turned away from such churches, and their usefulness to the Lord is minimized because they find welcome only in more liberal churches.
