| Summary, etc. |
This study is an attempt to provide Biblical guidelines for the counselling of pastors in the Bluff area, Durban on Divorce and Remarriage with special reference to Matthew 19:1-10. An attempt is made to analyse and evaluate various Scriptures with regard to Divorce. The original plan of God for the marriage covenant (Genesis 2:24) as life-long commitment is discussed and evaluated. Old Testament Scriptures are also analysed for a deeper knowledge and understanding of the marriage concept. In particular, attention is given to the key passage on Divorce and Remarriage, namely, Deuteronomy 24:1-4. In addition, key passages from the New Testament passages are dealt with. In particular, the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:1-10 are analysed and evaluated, utilising the original Greek words to ascertain their correct significance and meaning. The specific words used by Jesus, “porneia” and “moichao,” hold the key to the actual meaning of the passage. Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 7 is also analysed, and confirms Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 19. In particular, Paul encourages the new Church to strive after these teachings, as they confirm the will of God in the serious matter of divorce. The study also consists of an empirical investigation into the pressure points perceived by church leaders in the Bluff area, Durban, to be responsible for the increase in divorce. The findings of the research indicate that the churches in the Bluff area need to provide pastoral counselling, specifically in the areas of Interpersonal issues, Spiritual issues and Ministry-related Issues. Finally, the study proposes Biblical guidelines for understanding and preventing marital problems and for counselling couples considering Divorce or Remarriage. In particular, practical proposals are made regarding the hosting of marriage enrichment workshops and seminars on effective communication. |
