Good post James. Exodus is full of laws. It seems silly to me to pick one out (such as divorce) and ignore others. An eye for an eye etc comes from Exodus 21. We don't still advocate that do we? From chapter 23 we read about the feasts. I don't know anyone who still keeps the feast of the unleavened bread, the firstfruits, or the ingathering. In other words, those are laws that along with many others, made up the old covenant. While Brian is right that we should strive to be more like Christ and keep the commandments, Christ is the only one Who could keep them all. That's why we have a new covenant. We couldn't keep the old. Until God clothes me in incorruptibility, I'll continue to yield to sin. Not willingly, but because of my flesh. Catch you later. alan W

If we were talking about murder... would you have entered into such statements? If we were talking about stealing would you... explain the "complexity of each man's emotional makeup"? Adultery is sin - divorce is sin. Emotional complexity be damned. It is still really that simple. Giving me a speech about how none of us is without sin does not address the FACT that Sidney is denying that Divorce is Sin. Is it wrong for a man who has murdered to speak against murder? Is it wrong for an alcoholic to call alcoholism sin? To be honest I am shocked at the foolish defending of sin - we are all called to uphold the vows of Holy Matrimony Marriage is a COVENANT made to God - our human or fallen nature does nothing to the binding nature of marriage. To willfully divorce without due cause is disobedience to Christ. End of discussion.
