What About Divorce

by Spiros Zodhiates

God hates divorce. There is no doubt about it, as expressed in Malachi 2:14-16. Marriage is instituted by God. He only can be the cohesive power binding a man and a woman into one flesh and unity of life. Follow the instructions of the Manufacturer who designed marriage and there is nothing to fear. However, the coming of Jesus Christ has added a new dimension to the discussion, and the words spoken by Christ on this subject are among the most misunderstood of His teachings. This book fully examines every word of the pertinent texts from the Greek New Testament to find out what Jesus really said. Sometimes it becomes rather technical as it examines grammar and syntax. Truth requires careful and faithful grammatical and lexical analysis, however. This is what you have in this book. There is hardly an issue in our day as devastating and perplexing to the non-Christian and Christian as that of divorce and possible remarriage. The views are varied, and, in preparing this book, the author put aside all prevailing views and practices in an endeavor to find out exactly what the Word of God said. You will find in this book a word-for-word examination of the New Testament Scriptures in addition to Old Testament passages. The following New Testament texts are examined in Matthew 5:27-32; 19:3-12, Mark 10:2-12, Luke 16:18, and Romans 7:1-3. Of course, many other relevant Scriptures are also examined.
