CHRISTIANS AND DIVORCE

Tweet

This topic is taboo for many Christian denominations. What do you think? My views have changed. In my younger days, I just bought into what I was taught in church and that is divorce should be ripped out of a Christian's "dictionary". Currently, I know of several couple who are considering or tossing around the idea of divorce. They have come to me often for advice and sometimes just to vent. One of the wives have even asked for prayer. If anyone of these three couples were to come to me and say, they had decided to go ahead and get a divorce, I would say, “good-go ahead! Yall never should have got married to begin with”. Yes, I know that most Christians would gasp at that response and it is not the good “churchy” answer, especially among Southern Baptist. But in reality, there are some marriages that never should have happened. If couples can not come to live in peace and respect one another, should they be forced to stay together to stay in the good graces of the church. Should children be forced to grow up in unhealthy environments. I know that God's plan says one man for one woman for a lifetime, but we often act as if God can not forgive divorce. Also, when studied closely, God makes exceptions for divorce. When would study the true nature of God, we find these more evident. Thoughts???
