There is no divorce as a perfect pattern, Jesus and the church. If a Christian then leaves Christ and becomes a Buddhist, then decides buddha is not worthy to serve, and want to come home to Christ, He has not run into a divorce, but into the loving arms of a faithful love of Jesus. Jesus said clearly let no man separate, hence even the two married. This is the perfect pattern. A man is supposed to present his wife spotless before the throne of God, just as Christ loves the church.
Each divorce is a tolerated means of keeping peace and salvation. Even though allowed each divorce is technically an adulterous relationship, because no man can separate the first marriage. However, remarriage is tolerated, and although as David the man after God's own heart, had many wives, and thus committed adultery with all of them, although it was tolerated as his right as a king, and David is the man after God's own heart. Jesus said there could be a remarriage if peace with God and faithfulness were not found in the marriage. Each remarriage is a tolerated adultery, but allowed due to unfaithfulness, to keep from fornication.
It is a doctrine of a devil to forbid marriage, but we are indeed told it is between a male and female. In essence, one should never betray his or her vows, but in the case were there is unfaithfulness to the vows and one leaves, then how can three people contracts be keep by two people? Marriage is a contract between God, and the man, and the woman, a three party agreement that only God can terminate, although men and woman get divorced all the time, because of selfish and unfaithful actions. If a man has become a Christian, and his wife is a devil, (for giggles), he cannot participate in her idolatry or pay for her sins, but can only remain at peace with an enemy of God, by setting a good example, watching and praying, more than likely, one will convert their spouse. If not God will drive out the devil for peace and salvation, or as it is written if the unbeliever depart, there is no bondage. If the Christian cannot remain faithful to Jesus and then has to leave the marriage to remain faithful to Jesus, the Christian must remain unmarried. However, if the Christian remains faithful to Jesus, then God will drive the devil out. However the Christian must remain faithful to their vows without being unfaithful to Jesus, and try to achieve peace in the marriage by setting the example of Jesus and try to achieve reconciliation with God and each other.
1 Timothy 4:1-3 But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron; 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth.
1 Corinthians 7:10-16 But unto the married I give charge, yea not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband 11 (but should she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife. 12 But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife (a devil ,lol), and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her. 13 And the woman that hath an unbelieving husband (a devil lol), and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 15 Yet if the unbelieving (devil lol) departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us in peace. 16 For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O husband, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
Matthew 19:3-10 And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?” 4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” 7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?” 8 He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.” 10 The disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”
