|  I always thought that this meant that sexual immorality was a grounds for divorce. Certainly, I think counseling is in order and that reconciliation should be desired, but I think reconciliation from the victimized partner who is willing to stay with the offender is out of an act of grace, and not necessarily compulsion. | Bingo. I think we stray into error when we allow personal convictions to be our presupposition to scripture. The text is not ambiguous. |
