because of the hardness of your hearts (Matthew 19:8).
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." Matthew 19:6
Taken by itself, this Scripture can be interpreted numerous ways. However, Jesus plainly stated in Matthew 19:8 that God never permits divorce, and that divorce is only caused by a hard heart, He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. Jesus clearly taught forgiveness in Matthew 18:22, not 7-times, but 70 times 7. Divorce is rooted in self-righteousness and an unwillingness to forgive. Notice carefully that Jesus called remarriage is adultery, but He never addresses the issue of divorce itself, because divorce is a sin, period. "
