Divorce

You:
That was one very good interpretation of the reason "fornication" (which you
interpret as "adultery") is the only reason for divorce.

I present another interpretation: that the word "fornication" meant "any
extramarital" sexual relations.  This is simply another view on the subject,
not necessarily indicating Bro. Tim's response was fundamentally wrong.

Me:
And your view is correct; as far as it goes in this post.  I'll get to this
and why Jesus said "adultery" in one place and "fornication" in another.
;-)  There are basically two reasons.  See if you can guess what they are.
<hint: one has to do with "performance under the Law" and the other with
what Jesus said about "thought crime"...>  He made this distinction on
purpose and the implications are powerful.  ;-)  Between the words adultery
and fornication, Jesus wiped out all the 'grey' areas of interpretation.
