Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage Paul M Gabriel

Divorce is a very real problem in today's churches, but the Bible's teaching on this vital subject is very often misunderstood. Many faithful Christians are marginalized because of a past divorce, often resulting in unnecessary (and undeserved) guilt. Taking the position that the Bible is both inerrant and essential for guiding our beliefs and practices, the author finds that divorce is not only permitted in certain circumstances but it is regulated by scriptural principles as well. A number of common question are answered, such as: - What constitutes marriage? - Are all marriages recognized by scripture? - Does the Bible allow divorce? - Is divorce forgivable? - Does the Bible allow divorced men to be pastors or deacons? - Does the Bible permit remarriage after divorce?
