One Flesh: Biblical Chastity, Marriage, and Divorce - Part 3: Divorce and Remarriage
In part 3 of our One Flesh teaching about Biblical Chastity, Marriage, and Divorce, we take a closer look at the topics of divorce and remarriage. What exactly is divorce, when is it permitted, and are people who have been divorced allowed to marry again?
In this last part of our One Flesh series on biblical chastity, marriage, divorce, adultery, and remarriage we go through some of the more frequently asked questions relating to these topics such as:
What is the Biblical definition of sex?
If I live with someone and view them as my spouse, does that mean we are Biblically married?
Can women divorce their husbands according to the Bible?
If a man cheating on his wife is not “technically” considered adultery, how do you explain Mark chapter 10?
If a woman was divorced for an illegitimate reason, and marries another, should she divorce her second husband?
and more!
One flesh is how the Bible defines a man joining with a woman in marriage. But what does it mean to be married Biblically speaking? What defines a marriage in the Father’s eyes? How do we, as believers, avoid sexual immorality and what exactly does the terms sexual immorality or fornication encompass?
In part 2 of our One Flesh teaching about Biblical Chastity, Marriage, and Divorce, we define both the physical and spiritual definitions of adultery and how it relates to God’s Marriage to Israel.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion named Yitro, we see the Creator begin to outline His covenant with Israel and Israel accepting it in Exodus 19:7-8. This covenant is not unlike a marriage covenant and ceremony where promises or vows are made by both sides. Take a look at our how obedience to His Word helps fulfill our part of the marriage.
