Divorce in Gods Eyes



Below are two verses out of the book of Matthew. The subject is divorce and how God sees it. Both verses are similar but I would like to elaborate on them for those who may not understand it.

Matthew 19:9 and I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”

Here he is saying a man/woman who seeks divorce and then remarries commits adultery in Gods eyes. There is one reason why God allows divorce to go unscathed and that is if your spouse commits adultery with another being. If a man cheats on his wife she is there for freely allowed to divorce him and remarry without punishment after death. Same goes for if the wife cheats on him.

Matthew 5:32 but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

These verse same as before states the only way to seek a divorce without punishment later is by being cheated on. This verse also states though that a man who marries a divorced woman with judgment against her, same with a woman marrying a man , if they did not divorce on God’s terms that they also commits adultery.

I truly believe the Lord is correct in his beliefs on divorce. When someone takes their vows they say they will love each other through sickness and health until death do they part. Anyone swears those vows to Jesus and then breaks them is breaking a promise to God. This should be punished, but like he states those who are adulterated against should not have to live unhappily and faithful to Jesus if their spouse is not faithful also.
