Divorce and Remarriage (Part 2)

Toward a Radically Christian Counterculture
Toward a Radically Christian CountercultureSteve Gregg

In this continuation of the conversation on divorce and remarriage, Steve Gregg examines the issue from a biblical standpoint. He notes that while divorce is not necessarily a sin, there are limited biblical grounds for a Christian divorce. One such ground is if one spouse committed adultery. However, the Bible does not require making restitution for divorce or even adultery for salvation, but it indicates that restitution can be proof of genuine repentance. Gregg shows verses from the New Testament, namely Luke 16:18 and 1 Corinthians 7, to support his arguments.
