Divorce 

The subject of divorce and remarriage is a very difficult and complicated one, made so in part because of the great variety of human situations involved, but primarily so because the Scriptures bearing on this subject are not always as definite and clear-cut as we might like. Precisely what is commanded or what is implied in Scripture is in several instances a matter of dispute, not only between church members but also between theologians and even between denominations. The result is that this subject has become one of the seriously controversial issues of our day. Individual opinions tend to be formed, not only on the basis of what the Scriptures say, but also on the basis of past training and personal attitudes, so that some people are much more strict in their views than others. We must, therefore, take care that in any particular case we neither approve nor disapprove without making a careful inquiry into the facts.
