Divorce
SINCE GOD INSTITUTED marriage as an exclusive and permanent union, a union which he makes and man must not break, Jesus draws the inevitable deduction that to divorce one's partner and marry another, or to marry a divorced person, is to enter a forbidden, adulterous relationship...
For the person who may have secured a divorce in the eyes of human law is still in the eyes of God married to his or her first partner. (John Stott)
