Message summary & scripture references

Divorce and remarriage are two of the most disputed topics in the body of Christ. Some say you should never get a divorce and, if you do, you can never be remarried. Others say divorce is okay because of adultery. And another group says you can divorce and remarry for any reasons. In today’s message, I examine what Jesus says about these two issues.

Deuteronomy 24:1-3 KJV

[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.
[2] And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.

Matthew 19:3 YLT

[3] And the Pharisees came near to him, tempting him, and saying to him, `Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?’

Mark 10:3-4 YLT

[3] and he answering said to them, `What did Moses command you?’
[4] and they said, `Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.’

Mark 10:6-9 YLT

[6] but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;
[7] on this account shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,
[8] and they shall be — the two — for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;
[9] what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.’

Matthew 19:7-9 YLT

[7] They say to him, `Why then did Moses command to give a roll of divorce, and to put her away?’
[8] He saith to them — `Moses for your stiffness of heart did suffer you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it hath not been so.
[9] `And I say to you, that, whoever may put away his wife, if not for whoredom, and may marry another, doth commit adultery; and he who did marry her that hath been put away, doth commit adultery.’

John 16:13 KJV

[13] Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
