Christian Divorce/Remarriage: An Intro

                                                                    My parents are not religious.  But they were only married once, to the same person for 63 years!  Yet I have encountered churchgoers who were on their fourth marriage! Today's believers bring SHAME and discredit the cause of Christ. Jesus allowed divorce and remarriage for ONLY ONE reason (Matthew 5:31-32, Matthew 19:9, Mark 10:11-12, Luke 16:18, Romans 7:2-3 KJV).
