Divorce is one of the most devastating experiences a person can go through. Erroneous teachings and views on divorce have caused Christians to experience tremendous shame and condemnation. It is time to be set free by the truth of God’s word.
“I want my people healed” was the mandate the Lord spoke to Rev. Darius Good. There are many erroneous teachings on the subject of divorce in the church. The majority of these teachings are based on Jesus changing the law of Moses regarding divorce, even though Jesus clearly stated in Matthew 5:17 that He did not come to change the law. Unfamiliarity with the law of Moses have led to conclusions that misinterprets Jesus’ teachings and debates with the Jewish religious leaders. Many teachers on the subject of divorce do not know the difference between the law of adultery and the laws of an adulterous marriage and how this relates to Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5 and 19. In this book we will take a look at divorce throughout the scriptures. We will look at family laws and proceedings of the Sanhedrin court established by Moses. We will explore the error in translation that has led to gross misunderstanding of the scriptures, and we will examine Jewish customs, practices, and laws that are overlooked or unknown in current teachings that will bring clarity to Jesus’ teachings on divorce. Many Christians have experienced the devastation of divorce. In addition to hurt and shame, many Christians wrestle with tremendous condemnation. Fresh revelation will bring understanding and freedom from guilt and shame. If you are a divorced Christian that is plagued by condemnation, this book will bring healing and deliverance through the power of God’s word.

False. Many teach Jesus changed Moses’ law. But Jesus stated that he did not come to change the law of Moses. Paul also stated that faith (grace) did not void the law. The majority of Christian teachings on divorce are in error because of the unfamiliarity with Jewish laws on marriage or divorce.
Matthew 5:17-17 (KJV) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Romans 3:31 (KJV)
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
False. Jesus did not use the word divorce in those passages of scripture. The original text uses the word “apolyo.” The original scriptures uses the phrase “put away = apolyo“ which means to separate. Some bible translations use the word "divorce" and others use the original phrase "put away." Jesus was not addressing people that were divorced, he was addressing those that were separated. This mistranslation is the cause of erroneous teachings.
False. There are scriptural examples of men God commanded to get divorced. In one Bible passage there are 113 men listed by name.
False. Moses addressed it in the Old Testament. The woman could remarry (multiple times) but not her former husband(s). The Apostle Paul instructed Christians that were divorced to remarry in the book of Corinthians. It has been overlooked because the early church did not use the terms we use today like divorcees or divorced.
