Jesus rejects remarriage, but he makes an exception for fornication (Mat 5:32, 19:9). I respond to those who interpret the exception to permit ending a relationship if a partner is unfaithful during betrothal.

Contrary to popular belief, the Catholic Church does *not* teach that all valid marriages are unable to be dissolved!  Canon lawyer Andrew Kong eloquently explains the three scenarios in which a marriage can be dissolved according to the teachings of the Catholic Church on the @TotusTuusApostolate podcast.  I express my disagreement where I find this teaching deviates from Scripture.

Joel Garner ( @joelgarner539 ) interprets the New Testament to teach marriage permanence, but he disagrees with my view of the exception clause (Mat 5:32, 19:9). I react to Joel's good faith critique.  You decide who is right. Let us know in the comments!

The Catholic Church declares/determines tens of thousands of marriages are invalid each year in America.  What criteria do they use to issue these annulments? If so many marriages are invalid, how can a Catholic know they're married when they say "I do?"  I respond to Mark Gurtner's excellent presentation at the University of Saint Francis ( @usfuts404 ) of the Catholic Church's doctrine on annulments.  He ...

Craig Keener is a well-known and accomplished evangelical scholar, author, and professor who has written and spoken on the New Testament's teaching on divorce and remarriage.  He defends a variation of the majority protestant view by finding exceptions for adultery and abandonment.  Dr. Keener goes further by asserting that Jesus spoke hyperbolically when calling remarriage adultery.  He concludes that every civil divorce actu...

Jesus references Gen 2:24's language about one flesh when he declares that God joins spouses in Matthew 19 and Mark 10.  But, does that mean sex is a necessary condition for marriage or that the unity of sex symbolizes the unity of marriage?

Lutheran seminary professor Dr. Mayes agrees that adulterous remarriages ought to be divorced, but he limits it to certain narrow circumstances.  In this episode, I react to his comments and the comments of Lutheran pastors who raise unreasonable objections to even the hint that some small percentage of adulterous remarriage might have to be divorced.

What if Jesus actually explained the divorce and remarriage "exception clause" and we have been missing it the whole time? I make the textual case that the second half of Matthew 5:32 is Jesus's explanation of "porneia" in the exception clause.  A surprising number of indicators point to this interpretation as the correct one.

Jesus calls remarriage adultery seven times in the New Testament.  In two of those declarations, Jesus includes a clause that is either an exception or an exclusion.  In this episode, I explain the difference between the exception interpretation and the exclusion interpretation.  Then, I explain why I think this clause is an exception.

The Greek word porneia refers to illicit sexual conduct.  In the Jewish debate regarding remarriage, this term (and its Hebrew counterpart zanah) referred to invalid remarriages.  Jesus's exception clause, which employed the term porniea, used it in a technical sense to refer to an adulterous remarriage.  Therefore, Jesus taught divorce and remarriage is adultery unless a man married a divorced woman, divorced her, and then he...
