Because of the ramifications, divorce and remarriage is one of the most hotly debated biblical issues in the church today. Many people find this issue to be a challenging subject. Preachers and dedicated Bible students have written numerous books and engaged in countless discussions seeking to answer the question of whether one who has been divorced, or has divorced, may marry again. Yet Christians are far from united on this issue. Many find it so difficult and troublesome to discern the truth that they refuse to even open their mind to an honest study of the subject. Others are so fully convinced they have the answer and that what they know is so vital to truth and morality, they will have no fellowship with those who differ with them. Misleading teaching has led to needless guilt in the hearts of many people as they struggle to please God in regard to their marital status. Many homes have been destroyed and souls lost because of well-meaning, although misinformed, teachers who think they are merely teaching what Jesus taught. |
