Question: 1 / 400

What does Matthew 9:8 suggest about divorce in the eyes of God?

Divorce is always permissible.

God does not want divorce but allowed it due to human disobedience.

The passage in Matthew 98 does not suggest that divorce is always permissible. In fact, in other parts of the Bible, God makes it clear that He hates divorce and that it should only occur in certain circumstances, such as adultery (Matthew 19:9). Option C, suggesting that divorce is required for all unhappy marriages, is not supported by this passage or any other biblical teachings. Option D, stating that divorce is only for non-religious people, is also not accurate as divorce can occur among people of any religion. Option A, stating that divorce is always permissible, goes against the teachings of the Bible and is not supported by this passage or others. Therefore, option B is the best answer as it recognizes that God does not want divorce but allowed it as a concession due to human disobedience.
