Is Divorce Always A Sin?

Is Divorce Always A Sin?

Just as anger and hatred are portrayed as sinful, divorce is assumed to be a sin.  The Bible actually teaches us to be angry and sin not (Eph. 4:26).  It teaches us to hate sin (Amos 5:15),  Anger and hate are emotions.  Even Jesus got angry in the Temple due to the sinful behavior in His Father’s house.  Anger and hatred are not sins in themselves but what we do and how we direct anger and hatred can become sin.  Divorce, God hates according to Malachi 2:16.  However, divorce is a sin for the unfaithful mate, but for the victim of an unfaithful mate there is no sin.  No one deserves to be cheated on.  God knows this.  In Jeremiah 3:8 God divorced Israel for their spiritual harlotry of idolatry.  God is never associated with sin, metphorically or literally.  If all divorce is sin, then God sinned. Of course, God cannot and does not sin.  Neither should all divorced people be branded as sinners and adulterers.  Those who have been victimized by an unfaithful mate are still Christians and should not be punished with the evil doers.  They can become healed helpers and minister to others even more effectively after their healing is complete.

    Some interesting and intelligent content you have here on your site. I have several wordpress sites and like your theme. I do notice that you are not monetising your traffic to its maximum which is what I used to do until someone pointed out to me that you can actually earn yourself some decent amounts to help pay your hosting and domain fees etc. Looking at your Alexa rankings I can see you obtain some decent traffic which for very little work could help you out. I use this Wordpress Plugin which effectively turns words and phrases in all (or just some if you like) your content, making contexual links which your visitors will click upon. Take a look at it and see what I mean, I easily clear my hosting and other fees each month using this. Hope that helps you out - we fellow wordpress bloggers have to stick together!

    I can not believe the amount of quality material that exists on this site. The site is extremely eye catching and pulls the reader straight in, the articles are great quality and are very professionally written. I have seen too many of these sites where it looks like they pay an 8 year old to do the writing - Not this one. Your site is easily the best that I have seen in a long while.

    Although I would’ve preferred if you went into a little bit more detail, I still got the gist of what you meant. I agree with it. It might not be a popular idea, but it makes sense. Will definitely come back for more of this. Great work

    Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information.

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post.
