Scripture: Mark 10:1-12

Discussion Questions

1) God presents marriage in terms of sexual union (Gen 2:24; 1 Cor 6:16). What are some implications?

2) Is Deut 24:1-4 fair to women when it "allows" a man to divorce his wife though she has not committed adultery?

3) Does Mark contradict Matthew and vice-versa concerning adultery as a ground for divorce (compare Mark 10:11-12 with Matt 5:32; 19:9)?

4) What are some possible reasons the GPM constitution stipulates that a minister may solemnize the re-marriage of (only) the party who was not at fault in the divorce?
