	Divorce and Remarriage—What Should Christians Know?
		The decisions reached regarding divorced persons were entirely predicated upon the evaluations of fallible men, and when the doctrinal changes occurred in the early 1970's all confidence in the ministry and in the truth regarding divorce and remarriage ended.
		After stating that Moses permitted divorce because of the hardness of their hearts, Jesus said, "And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery" (v.
		It was a faulty administrative system which rendered divorce and remarriage decisions that was partly responsible, at least, for the deterioration and loss of confidence in the church and in the doctrine.

	DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE
		Some wrongly claim that "putting away" and "divorce" are synonymous, but the fact that a wife can be put away without having been given a bill of divorcement clearly refutes that false teaching.
		Putting away is because of sin and giving the bill of divorcement is a merciful act allowed by God to dissolve the marriage so that the ex-spouse is free to marry another person.
		In Moses' day it was a very burdensome thing for a woman to be put away without being given a bill of divorcement so that she could marry another man. God made a provision for women who were put away so that they could be supported.

	A Bill of Divorcement (1932)
		A strange mixture of melodrama, 'weepie' and social problem movie, the 1932 version of 'A Bill of Divorcement' was the second of three film adaptations of the English actress, painter and playwright Clemence Dane's very successful 1921 London stage play of the same title.

		However, 'A Bill of Divorcement' does provide a vivid insight into popular beliefs about the role of heredity in shaping individual character and destiny, the emotionally traumatic effects of shell-shock, the incurability of mental illness, and the moral and scientific authority of medicine, in the early decades of the last century.
