Would this really qualify as a Christian divorce?

[cave man]

A guy I worked with claimed that both he and his wife are Lutherans. The guy cursed like a sailor, constantly lusted after women and even cheated on his wife on occassion. One day I confronted him on his behavior, and he reminded me that he was a Lutheran and he had a spot in heaven because he believed in Jesus. I asked him how often he and his family attended church. He informed me that they had attended a funeral two years ago. I asked him how often did he and his family pray. He informed me that they didn't. I then proceeded to ask him how often or when was the last time he and his wife read the bible. His reply to me was that they didn't read the bible and he couldn't remember that last time he did. Currently his marriage is in trouble and they are both contemplating divorce. This guy doesn't pray, attend church, and has absolutely no relationship with God whatsoever. However if he and his wife divorce, it will be documented as a Christian divorce. Is this realy a Christian divorce

I wasn't aware of a divorce being catagorized as Christian. But I'm not surprised. People who are relying on a church or religion for their salvation would expect this exception.

But people of all Faiths, who believe that we have to practice what we preach, would expect to accept the responsibility for a failed marriage. And answer to God for it.

Edit---God can heal broken hearts and broken marriages as easily as He heals broken people! Blessings!

To be honest with you, there is no such thing as a Christian divorce for any reason whatsoever. Seriously, if you think that there is a reason that is advocated by scripture, feel free to email me, but understand that Jesus was fairly explicit about the subject.

The subject of divorce is a clear illustration of how religious beliefs evolve to match social interactions and knowledge. One would think that an all knowing God would have a clue about spousal abuse and other problems.

Edit:
By the way, humans consistently make mistakes every single day of their lives, how can you expect any of them to actually choose the right mate the first or even nth time?

Hm. Guy should contemplate his life and where it's going.

Good question. I know people who claim to be Christian, but if they had not told me, I would never have been able to guess. It seems to be nothing more than a label they acquired some where at one time.
