Won't Repenting from an adulterous remarriage cause more divorce?
This truly is the big elephant in the room that everyone tries to avoid seeing. Just as not all marriages are lawful marriages, not all divorces are lawful divorces. In the situation of remarriage, divorce is really nothing but repenting of adultery.
Ezra 10 is an example of divorce in the form of repentance. God was going to pour his wrath on them if they didn't 'put away' their wives and some of them had children with them. God does not hate all divorce...for there are many 'unlawful' marriages out there like Herod and Herodias (which just fyi...were not counciled to stay together). Again, however, we have the New Testament...we are called to live above reproach. I'm not sure if you watched Craig's video, it was very good. And the article that caused him to make that video was the athiest who calls out us 'Christians' who speak out against certain sins such as homosexuality, but say nothing about adultery in the form of remarriages.
Here is the link to Craig's video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIQaNX...
