“So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” —John 8:7
There
is nothing any more selfish than for a spouse to abandon ship and file for
divorce. Tragically, divorce is epidemic in America, as is our sinful
pride. PRIDE is the cause of all divorces! Proverb 13:10 plainly
states, “Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well
advised is wisdom.” Americans are a stubbornly proud people, who
have been utterly blinded by their sinfulness. We brag of being a
nation which “values life,” while having the blood of 48,000,000 infants
dripping from our hands. We print “In God We Trust” upon our money,
while teaching public school children that they weren't created by God; BUT,
rather, evolved from slime. Ingrates! We enjoy God's blessings;
BUT then reject and spit upon His holy Word.
Divorce is a horrible sin, like homosexuality, or murder. Tragically, women file for divorce at TWICE the rate of men in the U.S., solid evidence of the evils of feminist brainwashing. Americans have become extremely self-righteous, condemning others for “moral rights abuses” (such as China), while whitewashing their own skeleton closets. Should it be surprising in a nation that can cold-heartedly kill tens-of-millions of babies by abortion, would also quit their marriages and selfishly move on to greener pastures? Not at all. We are a selfish society. Women irresponsibly allow themselves to become pregnant, and then SELFISHLY want to murder their child because it's an inconvenience to them.
Women SELFISHLY want to walk out on their husbands, and quit, because it's an inconvenience to them. I frequently receive letters from women who blame their husband for everything, angry at me over my articles on divorce. They blabber... “He did this... he did that... et cetera.” One woman said, “He even call me a bit**.” Awe... you poor baby! I don't get it. Women are throwing their marriages away over any EXCUSE they can find these days. This is what feminism has INDOCTRINATED women to think. The truth is that they are sinfully PROUD and STUBBORN! Feminism is not about rights--it's about rebellion against a husband's authority—a refusal to SUBMIT to the man of the house. Divorce is a wife's sinful Declaration of Independence from the authority of her husband. God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16).
Divorce is rooted in selfishness, and self-righteousness. Very few, and I mean very few, women are willingly to admit their faults in a marriage. I have received so many letters from hostile women, who attempt to demonize their husbands, and justify the sin if divorce. Without fail, they spew out one accusation after another against their husbands. This is NOT Biblical Christianity. Instead of having a meek and humble spirit, these women have defiant and hostile spirits. To a lesser extent, some men do the same thing, i.e., blame their wife for everything. It takes two to tango. No one person is ever completely at fault in any marriage conflict.
Some women lie in wait, as a predator, just waiting for their husband to mess up, and then it's off to divorce court. God will severely judge such evil women. In sharp contrast, the Bible teaches that we are to be “kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:32). Divorce is one's way of saying... “I don't forgive you!” There is certainly nothing kind about dragged one's spouse into court before a judge. It is vicious and retaliatory.
Divorce is the epitome of hypocrisy and self-righteousness, as if to literally say... “You are a bigger sinner than me, which gives me a right to divorce you.” James 2:10 clearly states that to commit even ONE SIN makes a person GUILTY OF ALL. I receive letters from many self-righteous wives, telling me how rotten and terrible their former husbands were. It's always the same lines... “he did this” or “he did that.” Grow up! You're not so perfect yourself. From listening to these women, you'd think their husbands were the Devil incarnate. Of course, they conveniently fail to mention their own sins and faults in the marriage relationship. It is hypocrisy. The horrible word “divorce” should NOT be in any married couple's vocabulary. Divorce is a dirty word, which in the Greek means, “quitter.”
We are living in a selfish generation of people, who have become absolutely saturated with sinful pride, pleasure-seeking, and worldliness. A promise means very little to most people today, and is often carelessly broken. America has become a land of liars, and the biggest liars are those who dishonor their marriage vows by filing for divorce. But even criminals have their own twisted code of honor. Most wives and husbands who seek divorce, wait until they find the excuse they were already looking for, and then crucify their spouse with it. I knew a man who said his wife was continually pushing-his-buttons, deliberately trying to anger him, hoping for him to hit her, so she could call the police, document the beating, and then crucify him in court, asking for lifetime alimony. Thankfully, he didn't do it.
I know another man who volunteered to leave the home for a few months, at the request of his wife, while they ironed out their marriage difficulties. He got an apartment, thinking he was saving his marriage and doing the right thing. His vicious wife went and filed for divorce anyway, claiming that her husband had abandoned her and the kids. She crucified him in court and won the court case. These are some of the malicious tactics that are happening in marriages today, and the legal system is merciless and unjust. Everyone makes money in a divorce except the husband who loses his pants and shirt. The judge makes money. The lawyers make money. The wife makes money. The husband most often loses.
There is NO justice in the court system today. Whatever happened to Love thy neighbor as thyself? Get mad at me if you want to... I can't think of anything more rotten, selfish, self-righteous, hypocritical, and cruel than for a wife to file for divorce against her husband, dragging him into court before a heathen judge, and hurting the one who has tirelessly gone to work to support her over the years.
