Hating Lies, Loving Mercy: Matthew 19:1-12, part 2
Matthew 19:1-9 is not Jesus' teaching on divorce, but Jesus confronting the cultural evils of entitled men attempting to blame their mid-life crisis on the Bible. So we cannot use this text to counsel the vulnerable party in a marital dispute. Instead we need to look to the whole teaching of Scripture on this, a subject close to the heart of God.
