“Today, after 38 years of marriage, I filed for divorce on biblical grounds,” Angela Paxton posted on X. “I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation. But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage.
“I move forward with complete confidence that God is always working everything together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose,” she wrote.
God says no divorces…
Henry the 8th was the one that said divorces were cool with God, probably because it was starting to look bad how many wives he was executing
The Roman Catholic Popes and cardinals are the ones who said “no divorce.”
When Moses wrote down the law, the rule was was “ok, divorce if you must.”
According to the Gospels, Jesus (God) appropriately said “divorce is bad, and leaving your wife for a younger model is just adultery with extra steps.”
