Hi guys, need help here. I am browsing on the net and found an interesting topic about divorce and remarry. One thing that ruins my innocent mind is this: God Allows an Exception to the General Rule When One's Spouse Has Been Guilty of Fornication. This exception is clearly stated in Matthew 19:9 (and 5:32). "Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery" ("saving for the cause of fornication" - Matt. 5:32). The question originally asked Jesus concerned the grounds or cause for which a man may divorce his wife (v3). In v9 Jesus clearly says there is no acceptable cause except if ones companion has been guilty of fornication. Unlike the Mosaic Law, which Jesus admits tolerated divorce and remarriage for other causes, Jesus' teaching allows one and only one cause. Note that the only one who is granted the right to divorce and remarry without being guilty of sin is the one who has been sinned...
