Although such an attitude is based on Jesus’ saying, it contradicts what Jesus really meant. Jesus resisted the Jewish tradition of easy divorce for the sake of the victimized, particularly the wife. It is, therefore, suggested that instead of falling into legalism, the church’s approach regarding divorce should start from its own reality as a broken fellowship yet still attempting to be a channel of the Good NewsengAll rights reserveddivorce, remarriage, Christian realism, family, church break-upTheological ethicsMoral judgementFamily ethicsCommunity ethicsSpecific religion, ChristianityPractical theologyArticle
