The Bible also says:
Malachi 2:16
For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away:
for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts:
therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
God did not cast Israel away for a single offense, but Israel was a habitual cheater. If God is that merciful, then how should we be with our spouses. |
Oh? So there are mitigating circumstances?
But you never mentioned that possibility.
Here’s another easy one for you.
Deut.24
[1] When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Please explain this. There is no mention of unfaithfulness in this scripture. And it is biblical.
