I see, I will treat my spouse horribly. I will beat her or him. I will
deny him/her the basic dignity that all saints of God are due. I am
going to ignore him/her. You get the point. Who is the innocent party.
The Bible tells us that the two shall become one flesh. Can someone make
you SIN, NO. Can they push you to the point of Sinning, NO, but given
the problems that can crop up, a moment of personal falling down would
not be uncommon. I am not saying that it is right. I am saying that it
could happen.

How about a person that beats his/hir spouse. Is there any recourse for
them. Can they use the same standard.

I think that we woiuld have to know the who story before we OKed the
divorce. I would have to councel both parties, get the WHOLE story. It
is impartive that we not jump in the problems and make it worse by
taking sides.

Sin in any form is destructive. If you smoke, if you have immoral
thought, if you steal, or if you promote any thing that is not according
to God's Word.
To Wit:
I believe that divorce is wrong for the saint of God. I know that it is
not a SIN unto DEATH. I do know that when MY Jesus went to the cross, he
took more on him than any of us would/could ever bare. We need to LOOK
at this in that light.
