     | 2,617 views

    A sermon dealing with the attempt of the pharisees to trap Jesus by asking his opinion about divorce.

    Is it okay for a Christian to divorce? Is divorce a sin? If I get divorced, can I remarry? Just what are the rules about divorce? That’s what they asked Jesus. If this was a timely topic in Jesus’ day, it is at least as much now. I went to Google and typed in “divorce laws.” Google found ...read more
