DIVORCE

No one ever gives "Divorce," a second thought when they are preparing to get married, however, divorce is a serious matter. In our Father's eyes you cannot divorce your spouse unless serious offenses have taken place. In today's society divorce is a quick fix to legally (Earthly Government) detaching from someone you've grown out of love with. People grow apart for many reasons but keeping a strong family is important in today's world where anything seems to be acceptable.

In the Holy Bible Jehovah has elaborated on this touchy subject. I'm blessed to not have suffered this vicious separation but for those who have God Bless You! It is important to take many things into consideration before marriage if you are considering it. A strong-solid foundation of love and trust is a key ingredient but faith in the Father above is above all else.

Here's some information I've learned about marriage from Our Creator through Jesus, he's given us Laws, Statutes and Commandments to avoid divorce!

Deuteronomy 24:1 OT Page 183 "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 to her hand, and send her out of his house."

Deuteronomy 24:2 "And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife."

Deuteronomy 24:3 "And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die. which took her to be his wife;"

Deuteronomy 24:4 "Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance."

Matthew 5:31 Page 4 NT, Jesus said "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:"

Matthew 5:32 , Jesus said "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."

Mark 10:4 Page 42 NT "And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away."

Mark 10:5" And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept."

Mark 10:6 "But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

Mark 10:7 "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;"

Mark 10:8 "And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh."

Mark 10:9 "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

Mark 10:11 "And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her."

Mark 10:12 "And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery."

Mark 10:19 "Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do no steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother."

Have a Magnificent Day,
