On Marriage
It is my conviction that according to the Word of God, divorce can never mean dissolution of the marriage tie.
Even if people are legally divorced, they are, in my opinion according to the Word of God still married.
Only, they are separate married people.
(Herman Hoeksema – Divorce and Remarriage – The Triple Knowledge)
This quote from Herman Hoeksema shows the illogical fallicy of the Westminster’s erroneous and dishonest view of the “innocent party” being allowed to remarry, despite all biblical evidence to the contrary.
If it be true that divorce is the breaking and dissolution of the marriage tie, then it stands to reason that divorced parties can remarry.
Then it is not even necessary or possible to make a distinction between the innocent and the guilty party: both parties can remarry, simply because the marriage tie is dissolved, and both parties are permitted to remarry. They are no longer married people. And if divorced people are no longer married, if the tie is dissolved. it is nonsense to talk about innocent and guilty parties.
After all, if marriage is no more, then why the guilty party can not remarry?
(Herman Hoeksema – Divorce and Remarriage – The Triple Knowledge)
All that The Lord teaches in Matthew 5:32 is emphatically that the marriage tie can never be broken. Not even the cause of fornication or adultery breaks the marriage tie.
