If you think we have to keep all the OT laws then good luck to you. There are hundreds and hundreds.
No, I don't believe we should keep all the OT laws, but Christ said we should. That's my point. You, me, every christian picks and chooses. The fact the sites like christian mingle exist, the fact that we have gospel group competitions, Stellar awards, dinner sales, casino trips, etc. proves we pick and choose. All of these things are contradictory to the teachings of Christ, but they go on in almost every church in America. Yours and mine. No, I have not been to see my pastor. I already know his answer....stay married. But he doesn't have to live my life, I do. Each person's experience is different. To your point about divorce being made clear... if I gamble away all my families money and leave us in poverty, is that grounds for divorce. If I sell drugs and keep my family in danger, is that grounds for divorce. If I never get a job and have my wife slaving tireless to make ends meet, is that grounds for divorce. If your spouse decides they no longer want to have sex, is that grounds. How about they tell you they are no longer interested in the opposite sex, how about that. Under Christian law only sexual immorality is reason.
