This book deals with the issues! Is sexual intercourse a right or a condition of marriage? In the Bible, betrothal was marriage, not engagement to be married. What is civil government's interest in marriage? Common-law marriage in the Bible. Is fondling sexual intercourse? Why most adulterers in the Old Testament were not stoned to death. Was God really loose on divorce in the Old Testament? Is the Sermon on the Mount Old or New Testament teaching? Is celibacy refraining from sex or refraining from marriage? Two problems that have to be worked to resolve any unscriptural divorce and remarriage situation. What are the three ways a person can commit adultery? God doesn't hate all divorce, at least equally. Must one divorce an impenitent fornicating spouse? Every exception clause in the Bible contains a necessary implication. Is there a "guilty party" in Mt. 5.32 or Mt. 19.9? May one guilty party put away another? How does an unjustly put-away person put away a fornicating spouse? Why whether a put-away fornicator may remarry is hardly the issue. Four questions, which if answered, may lead to a solution of every question on marriage, divorce, and remarriage. Is divorce and remarriage private or church business? Church limitations in dealing with divorce. Can a local church study these issues for itself and determine its own conduct on these matters?
