DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE

Now you can learn how to do a Bible Study on your own.  From the 
concordance look up all the verses on the topic, then ask these 
questions: WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, HOW, on each verse.

Always seek to find out God's HEART (how He feels) on any topic you study.
Don't lean to your own understanding (Prov.3:5,6) but be open to God's instruction.

Example: Luke l6:l8

WHO?	Whoever divorces and remarries.
	Whoever marries her that is divorced. (2nd part of verse)

WHAT?	Commits adultery

WHEN?	When he remarries or marries a divorcee

WHERE?	not relevant

WHY?	not explained here

HOW?	by divorcing and remarrying

Answer these same questions on each of the following verses.  See
if you can find any more verses on the subject.

Malachi 2:14-17		Matthew 5:31-32 (See Deut. 24:1-4)
Matthew 19:6		Matthew 19:3 and 6-9
