For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. Those who presumptuously disregard what Jesus the Son of God says are worse off than those who disregarded what Moses said. People who get a divorce are not magnifying the grace of God by their willful disobedience to Jesus' teaching. They are despising that grace.
People justify divorce today by following popular practice.
So many today are divorcing their partners that it seems increasingly justifiable on the basis of common practice alone. Furthermore, there are church members and ministers in nearly all denominations who are involved in divorce. With so many people, so many professing Christians, and so many among our own acquaintances involved in divorce, there is tremendous pressure to conform to popular thinking about this issue. To follow what Jesus taught means taking a very unpopular position. It means exposure to pressure, misunderstanding, accusation, and ridicule.
