    Divorce and Remarriage: When Biblical Interpretation and Moral Intuition Differ

    How do we address a circumstance where our reading of the Scriptures disagrees with the adjudication made by our internal sense of right and wrong? This is an important question when reading the New Testament on divorce and remarriage.  The practice of divorce and remarriage is common today.  The justifications given for it are many.  Yet, Jesus teaching seems to differ with the common practice and rationale.  More surprising is Jesus's apparent call to divorce remarriages, since he calls them adultery and no one at the time would think Jesus meant to continue a relationship he called adultery.  What about the children?  What about the disruption?  I had to navigate these questions as I wrote my book on this subject.  In this episode, I will explore the importance of these questions (dismissing them is a mistake) and how I arrived at my conviction, premised on the Scripture, that adulterous remarriages must be divorced.

    REACT: The Master's Seminary on Divorce (Dr. Bryan Murphy)

    Pastor John MacArthur's seminary, which he founded in 1986, recently released a video featuring Dr. Bryan Murphy's teaching on divorce and remarriage.  His interpretation is similar to most evangelicals.  I respond to his view so that you can see the contrast and determine which view is closer to the original intent of the biblical authors.

    David Brainerd: Divorce is Required for Some Remarriages

    Jonathan Edwards preached the funeral of famed missionary to the Native Americans: David Brainerd. Edwards also compiled Brainerd's biography, which received acclaim widely. But, few today know that David Brainerd recorded how, when revival came, adulterous remarriages were divorced.  David Brainerd insisted on it.

    REACT: Professor Mayes Divorce Remarriage Teaching (Part 3)

    Dr. Benjamin Mayes recently wrote a book on divorce and remarriage.  His book is premised on historic Lutheran views that have been mostly forgotten in modern Protestantism.  Order his book here: https://www.cph.org/divorce-and-remarriage-ecclesiastical-discernment-and-pastoral-care (Get my book on divorce and remarriage while you're at it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FH9YRS7N/ ) He recently shared his view on this subject on the Javier Perdomo podcast (  ⁨@javierperd2604⁩  ).  Over three episodes, I will react to Dr. Mayes. In this episode, I react to Dr. Mayes's teaching that Jesus permits divorce and remarriage for adultery and Paul permits divorce and remarriage for abandonment.  I disagree with both of those claims.  Listen, consider, pray, and comment below!

    REACT: Professor Mayes Divorce Remarriage Teaching (Part 1)

    Dr. Benjamin Mayes recently wrote a book on divorce and remarriage.  His book is premised on historic Lutheran views that have been mostly forgotten in modern Protestantism.  Order his book here: https://www.cph.org/divorce-and-remarriage-ecclesiastical-discernment-and-pastoral-care (Get my book on divorce and remarriage while you're at it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FH9YRS7N/ ) He recently shared his view on this subject on the Javier Perdomo podcast (  @javierperd2604 ).  Over three episodes, I will react to Dr. Mayes.  The playlist for my reaction videos to Dr. Mayes is here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdrNeXL0lOpM&si=aCFv96eHOfwsFA9_ In this episode, I react to Dr. Mayes teaching that some remarriages ought to be divorced while the prior valid spouse lives.  I heartily welcome Dr. Mayes emphasis on the ongoing nature of adultery in those marriages Jesus forbade seven times across four passages (Mat 5:32, 19:9, Mar 10:11-12, Luk 16:18).  However, I contend that *all* remarriages which Jesus called adultery ought to be divorced while a prior valid spouse lives whereas Dr. Mayes argues only *some* of these adulterous remarriages ought to be divorced.  Listen, consider, pray, and comment below!

    Jesus Rejected Divorce for Adultery

    In Mat 19:3, the Pharisees ask Jesus about divorcing for "any cause."  Jesus said no.  Then, in Mat 19:7 the Pharisees asked about divorcing for the reason Moses (allegedly) commanded.  They thought Moses commanded divorce when the woman committed adultery.  Jesus rejected that reason for divorce in Mat 19:8.  That means the exception clause in Mat 19:9 cannot refer to adultery since Jesus just rejected divorcing for adultery.  But, how does that square with the view from John Calvin and others that the Mosaic reason for divorce (ervat dabar in Deu 24:1) couldn't have been for adultery since that received capital punishment (Lev 20, Deu 22, Num 5)? I address that question in this episode of Divorce Your Remarriage.

    REACT: Exception Clause Debate Part 3 (Joel Garner and Chris Iverson)

    Joel Garner ( @joelgarner539 https://youtube.com/@joelgarner539?si=sQgbrm_k56PBVeBq ) interprets the New Testament to teach marriage permanence, but he disagrees with my view of the exception clause (Mat 5:32, 19:9). In this episode, I am responding to his last video in our ongoing friendly debate.  This back and forth gives us the opportunity to identify the premises that underly our disagreement so that you have more information and can decide who is right. Let us know in the comments!
