God divorced Israel (who was spiritually unfaithful to him) put her away and took a new chaste bride, the church.

If Christ will not divorce himself from you for adultery, why do you feel you can divorce yourself from a husband that has committed adultery?
John Piper's view here is 100% right on.
These modern Bible versions pervert the Word of God and have led to people jumping at the slightest infraction to divorce a spouse, and then have the audacity to call it Biblical!

liliokilani and all that are against Jonh Piper 's teaching.Everyone that ,are not in Christ ,still in darkness and don't knows God,therefore whatever you do in this condition,does not make any difference, divorcing or not, remarrying or not,so the problem is not ,if the innocent part of a broken relatioship,have to stay or not with an unfaithful spouse,worrying about being caught in adultery. you all are misunderstanding Gods word.Certainly you all like the religious people in the Jesus time,k

@TheAmazingCreative Nope, that is not what it says... it does not condemn people who remarry to "living in sin." If you look at the actual Greek or Hebrew, it talks about COMMIT ADULTERY, SINGULAR not PLURAL. So the initial sexual act is against G-d. You do not continue to live in sin ad infinitum. However, Pharisees like you insist on condemning everyone who refuses your personal doctrine of condemnation and hatred. I feel sorry for you.

@liliokilani 100% agreed. Seems like many of the men who forward these crazy legalistic ideas are crappy husbands who can only convince their wives to stay with them by lording over them with twisted scripture. That just proves they are in sin themselves because they are NOT behaving like godly husbands in the first place. Seems like these teachings always come from men who are also very legalistic and LUV to hear their own voices as the final authority rather than scripture itself!

@TheAmazingCreative What is also clear, if anyone bothering to study this would actually read the original Greek or Hebrew is that it says "commit adultery." NOT "become and adulterer. So it is a single act of adultery, which is a sin against G-d NOT against humanity. Which can be applied to any person they have sex with after the divorce, but does not instantly void another marriage as an "adulterous affair."

Piper didn't say that you couldn't leave, he said that the Bible teaches against divorce and remarriage. I have been separated from an abusive husband for 6 years, have a friend who has lived separately from her adulterous husband for 12 years. God is able to provide and He gives grace.

@timmoreland Good point. That's what I'm wondering about. If a spouse, who claimed to be a Christian when you married her/him but lied & then sneaks around repeatedly committing adultery & living a party life behind your back...how much pain, and betrayal does a person have to live with? And so because of the wicked spouse's sin, now the faithful spouse if doomed to either remain w/someone who is unfaithful, or can never again have a chance to remarry a true Christian? Seems unmerciful & cruel.
