I’m reading a twenty
year-old article on the subject of divorce written by a Christian whose
judgment and understanding of scripture I respect and whose personal conduct as
a believer is excellent.
So it’s hard to
explain why I feel a bit irked as I work my way through it. I think it has to
do with the phrase: “We should only allow …”
I wonder, who is “we”,
and what is the biblical mechanism by which we choose to “allow” or “not allow”
certain sorts of choices to be made by other believers?
