I have decided to write about this topic as mis­ap­ply­ing Hosea has been caus­ing harm to many Chris­t­ian men. I will not give an expo­si­tion on the pas­sage, it is quite sim­ple. Read it for yourselves.

Many churches and bible col­leges teach that once a wife cheats and leaves the hus­band the man shall never remarry but wait for his wife to return to him. Even if she mar­ries another man, this poor guy must wait with the hope that she divorces him, or per­haps one day her hus­band dies, and she might return to her right­ful husband.

I am aware of a man who was indoc­tri­nated with this doc­trine, after divorce lived alone all his life and on his deathbed regret­ted it. There are many oth­ers who are in the same posi­tion, so please take note and help them if you meet them. (more…)
