Answer: I have no teaching of my own on any subject. Moses, our Lord, the Apostle Paul, and Brother Branham taught about this subject in detail. There is actually no need for anyone to write about it, except to properly place the things which have already been written. It is indeed, as Brother Branham said, the ancient problem and so complex that, “You don’t know it until it is revealed to you.” When the Lord God gave the commandments He certainly did not forget this topic, for He spoke about adultery, “Thou shalt not commit adultery … Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife …” (Ex. 20).

In the sermon on the mountain (Mt. 5:27-32) our Lord also spoke about adultery and divorce, “Thou shalt not commit adultery … even not to lust after another man’s wife …” Thereupon He says, “If thy right eye offend thee pluck it out and cast it from thee …And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee …” Then He addresses the man who could — not should — divorce his wife only if she commits fornication (v. 32). Otherwise he causes her to commit adultery, if she remarries, and most certainly will be held responsible for it.

In any culture on earth, even with atheists, marriage is generally respected as part of the natural family life and order. The burning question is this: What is adultery, whereupon both had to die according to God’s law? What does the Scripture say? Adultery is when a man has a sexual relationship with a married woman, the wife of another man. “If a man be found laying with a woman married to an husband then they shall both of them die …” (Dt. 22:22).

In Mal. 2 the Lord first admonishes the priests and the tribe of Levi because of their false teachings. Then He speaks of the covenant of our fathers, which Judah desecrated by marrying the daughters of a foreign god. This prophetic chapter is very deep and leads to the main point, “… that He might seek a godly seed …” That seed is the promised seed from the Garden of Eden, which is Christ (Gal. 3:16). Then we read about divorce being an act of violence. When a man divorces the wife of his youth he breaks the covenant with her (v. 14). It was never in God’s thinking that a wife would divorce her husband, just as Israel could not divorce God. Therefore it only states that in certain cases the husband could give his wife a writ of divorcement, but a wife could never present her husband with divorce papers. Quote: “Brother, look, let me tell you, she’s going to sue you for a divorce; that’s Satan.” (COD, Vol. 2, pg. 981).

Before any man or woman even thinks about divorce, this will for ever be my conviction, he or she should first consider cutting off a hand or a foot before going to the solicitor to begin divorce proceedings. Divorce is murder in disguise, when all satanic forces of hatred are manifested. It really destroys not only the marriage, but also the family, the church, and society. There is no other act of violence as satanic as a divorce. It is murder for life. To then cover it with a fig-leaf garment of self-righteousness is a mockery.

Satan, the deceiver, hides behind every plausible argument that is presented. A wife beheads herself by rejecting and leaving her husband. At that moment she loses all spiritual and natural orientation and becomes vicious with a poisonous tongue, as she moves out of the divine order of marriage, family and church life. In that case she sins wilfully, crucifies the Son of God anew and brings public shame upon Him, all the while thinking she is getting revenge and destroying her husband. The characteristics of the actual guilty party are these: No grace, no forgiveness, no reconciliation — only accusations, enmity, and uncontrollable hatred, which even goes beyond death. At the same time that person presents convincing arguments to calm a guilty conscience and to justify the wrongful actions before the family, the believers, and the public in general.
