Points to consider:
1. Marriage is untill death (Roman's 7:2-3). Therefore, remarriage while your "first" spouse is still alive, constitutes adultery. The "exception clause" in Matthew 19:9 seems to more support the Bridal View when a careful look at the original Greek words for "fornication" and "adultery" are taken into consideration. In a previous passage, Joseph was going to "divorce" Mary, even though they were not married - they were engaged and Joseph assumed she had been unfaithful (committed fornication NOT adultery - since they were at that stage not yet married). Thoughts to the contrary may (and perhaps more likely) constitute assumptions. I hope it is okay to share my understanding on this topic from what I think is a truer convergence to biblical guidance on this topic, especially in light of Jesus' statement in Luke 16:18.
2. On the grounds of Abuse based on Exodus 21:9-11... are we under the Mosaic Law? Galatians makes it clear that we are not.
3. On the grounds of Abandonment based on 1 Corinthians 7:15... the Greek word for "bound" or "enslaved" is not the same as the Greek word for the "marriage bond" (see Romans 7:2-3). It seems that only death dissolves the marriage bond.

Thank you so much sir for this clarification, there are lots of confusing and misleading messages on Divorce which has led to people suffering / dieing in silence.
So much shame is also associated with Divorce especially amongst Christians, nobody wants to be tagged as ungodly. I am glad you talked about this, God bless you sir.

[nshisamba]

I admire the wisdom you and your wife have. You don't just say things out of emotions. One can always sence the wisdom and discernment in your teachings. More grace sir🙏 🙌

[njuareodok]

God has called us to peace... so whether in or out of marriage find peace with urself God and humanity as much as is sanely possible

[eugeneamedume]

Renew your mind not remove your mind.I love that.🙂

[becky]

Thank you Pastor Kingsley for clarifying this topic. The people who are quoting God hates divorce are not also quoting God hates fornication, adultery and abortion. Let's emphasis everything God hates and not focus on one so that our eyes will open to how reconciliations of these acts after they happen. At least we can stop demonising divorced people instead of ourselves.

Great one PK. always learning from you. Please can you do a video on how to live and move on after a God bless you sir.

[salomembanaja]

Two things stand out for me in Malachi 2:16. God says "I hate divorce" and "Don't cheat". This means that God knows that cheating leads to divorce. This is corroborated by Jesus Christ in the New Testament. So, please people should stop quoting Almighty God out of context just to keep partners in unhappy marriages or justify themselves. Thank you.

Thank you so much pastor K. I have been worried about this all these years but now I will change my prayer points. My marriage will be the best and it will last for a lifetime in Jesus name 🙏.

[rosalyn]

God bless you pastor. Here I am, almost 5 years later, 30 years old thinking I am going to be alone forever because I was told I can never remarry.

[etheltaylor]

Wow!!. So much wisdom. Thanks so much for breaking this subject down to my understanding. I have been struggling with this for the past 15yrs since I was separated from my husband. I was just stuck with the words "God hates divorce", so I felt guilty about getting a divorce. But now that's its broken down, I know what to do. God bless you richly sir.

[queenokemena]

I will continue to eat your messages daily to guard me regarding marriage life I’m so glad i found you on YouTube God bless you Sir 🙌🙌🙌🙌.

[Dabs]

You are correct in all the interpretations. These are my own take on the verses in the Bible on divorce. I studied divorce in the Bible thoroughly years back.

[preciousnwagod]

Thank you so much Pastor for that eye opener showing why God Hates Divorce which is primarily because of the impact. it has. Thanks again

[BecomingwithPB]

Pastor Kingsley, it is God that will continue to bless you.

[dollyosifo]

Thank you very much for your councelling

[duchb]

Pastor Kingsley thank God for you. You're just the best. And I'll always always not overlook Pastor Mildred when I thank God for you, cos if she was anyhow, your clarity in these teachings wouldn't be crystal, and your method of passing the knowledge to us would be so simplified. Pastor Mildred...you're a "good thing" indeed. God bless you both some more, keep you and keep replenishing you. Amen.

[onyekaonwana]

God bless you Sir
Was actually expecting this message for long....
You just cleared my doubts
Thank you Sir once more

[uwanduoge]

[jeremyexalted]

Hey Kingsley, God send you to me with this teaching ❗️I have been wrestling in prayer about what the Lord said about divorce but you really educated me sir. May the Lord increase you more and more ❗️ I was very torn about what Pastor Paul Enenche said about divorce and surprised that other general's are not bringing him to order .
