Biblical view
I don't understand the position in the "Biblical view" section. Is it really claiming that divorce is adultery and thus a sin, or that sex/marriage after divorce is adultery, that the divorce didn't change anything, and that therefore the divorced couple are still married in the eyes of God? --Scott 03:57, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
- I am not gonna touch this with 10 foot pole. However, what is the Church's view? often the Church's view and the Bible's view don't quite synch up. I'd be more inclined to take the Church's stance over the Bible's, as it's probably more up to date.--Elamdri 03:58, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
- Up to date? Its holy writ. Nothing short of the second coming is going to change the instructions in the bible. If the Church, an instutition of Man, says something that contradicts the divine authority of the earthly incarnation of God Himself... then the church must be wrong, and that is that. The bible forbids all divorce with one possible narrow exception, and claiming otherwise does not change that. - BornAgainBrit

- Fine, but nobody has answered the question: Is that section of this article claiming that the Bible says that divorce is a sin of adultery, or that sex after divorce is still adultery, the same as it was before the divorce? The section quotes an unspecified translation of the Bible, and does not cite any church teaching or Bible commentary for its opinions. --Scott 18:01, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
