Why not?  Jesus said that although it was not God's intention to allow
divorce, He DID allow it for adultery.

You mean if he gets divorced from his wife on SCRIPTURAL GROUNDS (which
means the divorce is justified in the eyes of God) then how can MAN hold
that against him?  

The gifts and calling of God are without repentance...UNLESS a man gets a
divorce?

I don't see that...

>Since we are admonished to forgive 7*70 a day, then we are to FORGIVE. 

Then why would it be held against him unless the divorce was for some
paltry reason?  We have CLEAR scriptural guidelines on this; divorce IS
allowed for adultery.

No fighting is necessary when we can discuss it!  <G>  BTW, it was nice
seeing you on ICQ...

Where'd you get your handle?

BOTH are responsible, of course, but the one who physically betrays the
relationship is the guilty party.
