Re: D-i-v-o-r-c-e

Again, I see no Biblical justification and/or allowance for divorce based on an abuse clause.

Am I wrong?

No you are not wrong. Neither is there a clause for divorce if a spouse is lazy, severely handicapped or in a coma.

If there is impending physical harm, separation may be needed.

Re: D-i-v-o-r-c-e

Don't want to be out of line here but, in my limited experience, I have found that most marital problems and divorces stem from one of two issues - sex or money.

I also believe that a lot of problems could be averted if people actually slowed down and actually got to know their future spouse before they said "I do."

Re: D-i-v-o-r-c-e

PEACE

1 Corinthians 7
12 But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her.
13 And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
15 But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace. 16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?

If there can be no peace in the home, you should divorce. Even a holy ghost filled child of God will struggle in their walk with God if they can not live in peace. Verse 16 even goes so far as to give rights for divorce just based on the possibility that it will not work.

I know the conversation has been about adultry and abuse, but they and this go hand in hand. Someone living for God may make a mistake or fall in sin, but if they are willing to repent then they are still wanting the relationship with God, which gives hope for peace in their lives and in their home. If they are not repentant then the opposite is true and there will never be peace in the home. A house divided can not stand. Light and darkness cannot co-exist.

Abuse can be anything from verbal, emotional, or physical abuse.

However in some cases divorce is not always the right thing to do.
I know that I am several pages behind, but I don't agree with this. It is wrong for a person to lust after another person other than their spouse, but that is not a reason for divorce unless it crosses a deep emotional and physical level. I would not leave my wife if she lusted after another guy and I am fairly sure that she would not leave me if I lusted after another girl--these are both contingent on no physical and deep emotional attachments.

Re: D-i-v-o-r-c-e

I don't agree that adultry that constitutes divorce is just lustful thoughts. It takes more than thoughts to get biblically divorced. It takes the act. The woman who did the act would be taken to the priest and given something to drink and if she did the act she died. The person in the Old Testament who sinned died. Unfortunately today people have no fear of God even in the Apostolic churches and go out and do whatever they want to. If the old reprecussions were still in force then alot would never take place.

I think people would just be more quiet about it. Even under the law sin was rampant. I read about some of the common things that happened behind closed doors in the 20's, 30's, and 50's and I'm shocked. The problem is... the Law never curbed man's sinfulness.
