We have seen the Church misrepresent the heart of Christ regarding Divorce for way too long. Many women have been abused and rescued by God due to abuse. Abuse is not a marital issue but a sin issue and a woman who is a victim of abuse is not penalized by God, but the abuser is the one that will beheld responsible

As leaders we must understand Divorce in and of itself is not sin and the passage of Malachi that states in our English interpretation, God hates divorce is not entirely in line with meaning we continue to teach.

We will spend time looking at that passage in the Strongs language as well as dive into some cultural issues that are significant to understand in Paul’s teachings on remarriage, adultery, etc.

We must remember divorce is not the unpardonable sin and the blood of Jesus didn’t cover everything else except  divorce. The “Why” of the divorce is important to know in each marital situation.

We are for the biblical standard of marriage and stand against sin and oppression as Jesus did.
