THE SONG OF SOLOMON - This book, the only one in the Bible that has love for its sole theme, is a collection or cycle ofmarriage songs. Again, as with Ecclesiastes, the composition is about Solomon, and not by him. The Song is didactic and moral in its purpose, and has traditionally been interpreted as showing God’s love for His Chosen People and Christ’s love for His Bride, the Church.

BibleDivorce Further, the implications of Pauls response to his admonition to remain unmarried or be reconciled within this divorced situation supports the concept that to divorce for no just-cause reason ( as it frees the spouse to remarry), places the burden of a quick resolution for reconciliation upon the spouse who left themarriage without just-cause.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Paul's letters provide further support of his understanding of the teachings of Jesus regarding a just-cause basis for divorce and remarriage (i.e., that remarriage becomes an automatic right upon divorce)
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Paul speaks of a divorce right centering upon immoral choices withinmarriage (one cause being a divorce via abandonment of amarriage through an unjust divorce action);
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Both Jesus' and Paul's choice of words (when speaking regarding divorce rights), supports the truth that, one person does not make amarriage.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Whether it be criminal behavior, an unjust divorce-abandonment of themarriage, a loss of relationship rights, deceitful living, a self-entitling "empowerment" which attacks the right to a "self" of the spouse or an unrelenting physical abuse, a non-changing emotionally abusive environment, a rage-filled, non-peace that controls themarriage climate (emotional terrorism) or sexual immorality, Christians have a right to divorce.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Ezra and Malachi ordered couples in inter-faith marriages to divorce.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce For them, divorce and subsequent remarriage -- though regrettable -- is permissible and is often the least worse option.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Some people look at the divorce rate and say, "We have to stop divorce." So, in order to stop divorce they come up with a doctrine that says, "No divorce for anybody, for any reason, and absolutely no re-marriage for anyone, anytime, who has been divorced." They look at the problem in our society and say, "In order to stop the problem, let's take the Bible's standard and raise it." Now, that may sound good and that would sure make it simple but there is just one problem with it, it's not biblical.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce I want you to see here that at the origin of divorce, the evidence is clear and strong that biblical divorce signified the absolute dissolution ofmarriage with the right to remarriage.

BibleDivorce Remarriage after a divorce may be an option in some circumstances, but that does not mean it is the only option.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce An important factor contributing to the alarming escalation of divorce among Christians is the growing acceptance of the societal view ofmarriage as a social contract, governed by civil laws, rather than as a sacred covenant, witnessed and guaranteed by God Himself.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce The recent "no fault" divorce law makes the dissolution ofmarriage so easy that some lawyers advertise divorce services for less than $100.00: "All legal fees and services included in one low price." What a sad commentary on the cheapness ofmarriage today!
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Pastors, teachers, and Christian writers often contribute to the prevailing confusion about divorce and remarriage with their conflicting interpretation of key Bible passages.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Some teach, like the ancient Pharisees, that the Bible allows divorce and remarriage for "every cause," while others maintain that the Bible prohibits divorce and remarriage under any circumstance.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Even when the divorce document was given, the way for reconciliation was still open as long as the woman did not form a secondmarriage.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Malachi strongly emphasizes that divorce violates not only God's original plan formarriage but also the sacredmarriage covenant to which the Lord Himself is a witness.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce The Pharisees must have thought that if they could trick Jesus into condemning the illegitimatemarriage of Herod of Antipas by means of a "test" question on divorce, this would result in His arrest and execution.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce It is significant that Christ answered the Pharisees' question as to whether it is lawful for a man to divorce his wife by affirming the permanence of the God-ordainedmarriage union.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce The argument of the Pharisees could be paraphrased as follows: if according to its original institution,marriage is a permanent union that cannot be dissolved by human authority, why then did Moses command divorce?
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce The bill of divorce was intended to regulate a perverse situation and not to abrogate the divine institution ofmarriage.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Christ's condemnation of divorce as a violation of God's original plan formarriage apparently perplexed the disciples.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Jesus declares to His disciples in no uncertain terms that, contrary to the Mosaic concession, divorce and remarriage by either the husband or the wife is a sin of adultery clearly condemned by God's law.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce The first significant Matthean contribution regarding Jesus' teaching on divorce and remarriage is found in the context of the Sermon on the Mount.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce A major reason is that many find in this clause the only legitimate grounds for divorce and remarriage.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Advocates of this view maintain that the exception clause allows for the divorce and remarriage of the innocent party, since divorce implies the dissolution of themarriage relationship.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce In the light of Christ's refusal to accept the Mosaic provision for divorce, it is hard to imagine that He would make allowance for the dissolution ofmarriage in the case of sexual misconduct.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce While today we can bring together the teaching of Jesus on divorce as found in all the three Synoptic Gospels, the Gentile readers of Mark's or Luke's Gospels, who did not have access to Matthew's Gospel which circulated primarily among the Jewish-Christians, had no way of knowing that Jesus made allowance for divorce and remarriage in the case of marital unfaithfulness.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce The normal Greek term for adultery is moicheia, a term used by Jesus in all the divorce texts to describe the outcome of divorce and remarriage, namely, "commits adultery." If Jesus intended to permit divorce specifically in the case of adultery, He would probably have used the explicit term moicheia.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce If the betrothed proved unfaithful prior to the consummation of themarriage, legal action could be taken and divorce could be obtained.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce This interpretation may be grammatically possible, but it seems rather unusual because it is based on a rather uncommon inclusive usage of the word parektos, usually translated "except for." This inclusive interpretation is based upon what Bruce Vawter calls "linguistic acrobatics," which turns "except" into "even including."16 It must be granted, however, that this interpretation does harmonize with the immediate context where Jesus rejects the Mosaic provision for divorce by pointing back to God's original plan formarriage as a permanent covenant.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce According to this interpretation, Jesus allows for divorce only where amarriage should not have taken place in the first place, namely, within the degrees of prohibited relationships.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Consequently, in Matthew, Jesus does not envisage any exception to the absolute ban on divorce but only allows for the dissolution of amarriage which was validly contracted according to Greco-Roman laws but which was in conflict with the Mosaic law of prohibited relationships.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce It may be objected that the Mosaic prohibition against incestuous marriages precludes any provision on the part of Christ for a legitimate divorce.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Jesus, however, chose not to condemn directly Herod Antipas, but rather to state the principle that divorce is only permitted in the case of an unlawfulmarriage.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce We are bound to conclude that by the exception phrase about porneia, Jesus did not intend to open the way for divorce and remarriage in the case of sexual misconduct.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Rather, He wished to reaffirm the creational principle of the permanence of themarriage union by allowing for divorce only in the case of an unlawfulmarriage.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce First, divorce is forbidden because it violates God's intention thatmarriage be a permanent union of two persons.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Second, remarriage after divorce is adultery because divorce does not dissolve themarriage union.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce His teaching on divorce and remarriage are most significant since they represent the earliest Christian interpretation and application of Christ's teaching to concrete situations.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce To appreciate the revolutionary nature of such teaching, it is important to remember that divorce and remarriage was allowed in both the Jewish and Roman society.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce According to this view, divorce and remarriage would disqualify a man from the office of elder and deacon.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce In this chapter we have found that both the Old and New Testaments clearly and consistently condemn divorce as a violation of God's original plan formarriage as a lifelong union that enables a man and a woman to become "one flesh." Respect for this fundamental principle demands that a Christian couple experiencing marital conflicts should not seek to resolve them through divorce.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce The purpose of separating usually should not be to lay the foundation for a divorce, but rather to (1) prevent further violence and (2) provide adequate time for the couple to receive biblical counseling to build a solidmarriage.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce From time to time, I hear someone say, "Since I had an affair, ourmarriage is over and I'm free to divorce." That's not what the Bible says.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce The "leveling off" of the US divorce rate isn't a sign of some kind of an improvement, but rather a change in the importance that your government attaches to the collectionmarriage and divorce data, the simplest data in the world to collect, something that even Rwanda and Haiti have managed to accomplish.

BibleDivorce Bureau of the Census is another Federal source ofmarriage and divorce statistics.

BibleDivorce Although divorce publicly declares that amarriage no longer exists, other covenantal relationships resulting from themarriage remain, such as the nurture and support of children and extended family ties.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleDivorce Under such circumstances, then, she would be free to remarry because divorce by its very nature, i.e., termination of themarriage covenant or contract, makes thatmarriage contract null and void.

BibleMarriage The first major step in a Jewish marriage was betrothal.1 Betrothal involved the establishment of a marriage covenant. There he would negotiate with the father of the young woman to determine the price (mohar) that he must pay to purchase his bride.3 Once the bridegroom paid the purchase price, the marriage covenant was thereby established, and the young man and woman were regarded to be husband and wife.4 From that moment on the bride was declared to be consecrated or sanctified, set apart exclusively for her bridegroom.5 As a symbol of the covenant relationship that had been established, the groom and bride would drink from a cup of wine over which a betrothal benediction had been pronounced.6 After the marriage covenant had been established, the groom would leave the home of the bride and return to his father's house.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage There in the privacy of that place they would enter into physical union for the first time, thereby consummating themarriage that had been covenanted earlier.14
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage Now that themarriage customs have been considered, it is essential that the analogy be examined.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage In addition, just as the Jewish bridegroom took the initiative inmarriage by leaving his father's house and travelling to the home of the prospective bride, so Jesus left His Father's house in heaven and travelled to earth, the home of His prospective Church, over 1900 years ago.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage In the same manner as the Jewish bridegroom came to the bride's home for the purpose of obtaining her through the establishment of amarriage covenant, so Jesus came to earth for the purpose of obtaining the Church through the establishment of a covenant.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage Parallel to the custom of the Jewish groom and bride entering into physical union after their arrival at the groom's father's house, thereby consummating themarriage that had been covenanted earlier, Christ and the Church will experience spiritual union after their arrival at His Father's house in heaven, thereby consummating their relationship that had been covenanted earlier.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage This analogy between Jewishmarriage customs and Christ's relationship to the Church is very beautiful, but what practical significance does it have for today?
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage During the time of separation between the establishment of themarriage covenant and the coming of the bridegroom to take his bride, it was possible for the Jewish bride to commit adultery by giving herself to another man.20 In like manner it is possible for believers today to commit spiritual adultery against Christ before He returns to take His Church.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage The first point that must be realized in studying the subject ofmarriage is just how little the Scripture reveals about the ceremonial aspects associated with it.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage There is such a paucity of information in the Scripture on such matters that one wonders whether our modern society has placed too much emphasis on the ceremonial aspect of themarriage relationship.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage In the Old and New Testaments there was only one ceremony that signified the consummation of amarriage. That was themarriage supper (or dinner).
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage In any event, it should be recognized by biblical students (and those wishing to abide by the principles of the scriptural revelation) thatmarriage in biblical times was more a legal agreement between the parents of a young man and woman than an emotional and independent covenant made by the young couple themselves.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage The most essential ingredient to the success of anymarriage (in my opinion) is that the couple should (with all their hearts) love each other, respect each other and be each other's best friend.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage Truthfully, there needs to be "the unemotional and practical side" to anymarriage if it is to work in the manner that the Scripture demands.
From index@GOOGLEQUOTESISSUES.txt@
BibleMarriage Let's face it, if a couple truly love one another, the minor violations of amarriage contract (which inevitably will emerge on occasion) can be forgiven and reconciliation can be the result.

BibleMarriage Two people of the opposite sex who merely live with one another outsidemarriage often do not have the same attitude of responsibility and sanctified sharing that married couples normally maintain.

BibleMarriage This can account for Paul's discussions on celibacy which should not be taken as encouraging celibacy but as defending the right of a man or woman to voluntarily choosemarriage instead of feeling compelled to marry by government decree.

BibleMarriage God does not intend for husbands and wives to navigate the great mystery ofmarriage without Him.

BibleMarriage Nicene Fathers such as Augustine believed thatmarriage was a sacrament because it was a symbol used by Paul to express Christ's love of the Church.

BibleMarriage Complementarians generally believe that the husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God's image, but that husbands and wives have different functions and responsibilities inmarriage.^41 According to this view, the husband has the God-given responsibility to provide for, protect, and lead his family.
