Does my teaching on the topic of divorce and remarriage mean that a person can go out and commit adultery as a way of justifying their future divorce?

That's the question I got from Isaac S and let me just read it to you.

Isaac says all that's necessary to break a marriage covenant is to walk away from it

Therefore marriage is the easiest and as far as the

flesh is concerned most pleasurable contract or covenant to get out of. I've

personally counseled a man whose wife read the Matthew exception out of

context like that. She purposely went out and found a man to

cheat with just because she wanted out of that marriage and thought God would let her out if she did that.

Wow. Now Isaac is not even remotely alone in this. This is a horrible straw man.

I mean a horrible straw man of the position. It's a misrepresentation of the teaching that I have and I think of what the teaching scripture

actually has. It's a way of saying your teaching is horrible therefore it can't be

true. Isaac is not even remotely the only person who pushes back on the

teaching that adultery is caused for divorce

by saying that we're encouraging people to go commit adultery.

Let me share with you another quote from the comment section, this is from Norman Evans,

alone because listen Gordon Wenham who is one of the premier scholars

supporting the view that there is no divorce period

in a story, you just don't get divorced.

He says the following in the book,
