When there's so many deceptive teachings. For example:
Matthew 19:4-6 NLT
4 “Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’” 5 And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ 6 Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”
In a perfect situation - yes - there shouldn't be any divorces. But because of sin there is a path a man can take - a righteous path - in order to procure a divorce. What is sin? It's transgression of the law/instructions. For example, in the Torah (divine instructions), adultery is grounds for a divorce. Or if a man finds something unclean with her (Deut 24:1) - he may give her a certificate of divorce, send her out of his household; and she is welcome to find a different husband. We even see in Scripture that the Heavenly Father issued his own wife (10 tribes of Jacob - united under Ephraim) - a certificate of divorce. Did he give it to her as soon as she first rebelled? No - of course not. He gave her plenty of warnings and chances to repent. But she refused. Then came the certificate.
A man can only do what he sees his Father doing. A man shouldn't issue a certificate of divorce so easily, either. If he does - remember - he also has a Master who can issue a certificate of divorce (depart from me - I never knew you - Matthew 7:21-23). A man is to fear the Heavenly Father - Yahuah. Because he has the authority to save whom he saves - and give grace to whom he gives grace to. Similarly, a wife should fear her husband - as it's written in the new testament. Because the husband also has the authority to issue a certificate to his own wife. But why would a Christian wife fear her husband in today's backward society? A Babylonian society that rewards bad behavior. No wonder most modern english translations translate the Greek word "phobeó" in Ephesians 5:33 to "respect". This is a MAJOR trend I've noticed with modern (KJV and newer) english translations of the New Testament. If it's something that contradicts Babylonian culture or society - expect MIS-TRANSLATIONS. Not so much in the Old Testament - not needed - when they teach it has been nailed on the cross. That's the "old way." But here's the actual meaning:
