Consider that the fundamentalists and Pentecostals have divorced themselves into over 2000 denominations and that every week there are 5-10 church splits. This went into overdrive about 60 years before the divorce rate for unsaved married couples and now thirty years later the divorce rate for fundamentalists and pentecostal christians is as high as the unsaved divorce rate was 30 years ago.

Having attended churches of multiple denominations and tent meeting the divorce rate of teh "Ungodly" was a favorite topic of preachers and evangelists and was given as a proof that God was with the church and in the lives of belivers and that bother were morally supperior to the world.

Recently I was reading something from ine of the apostollic fathers -- The people taht carried the baton after the apostles died and a hundred or more years before the Roman catholic Church came into being.

The writer made a point that Christ did not chose the Apostles because they were righteous men but because they were sinners. He then quoted some verses to back supposition -- I was stunned this theme is to intregally woven in the Gospels that it has become hidden. Jesus came not to save the righteous but sinners to which paul said I AM chief not was.

And because Christ deals with sinners even the divorced whether they be church divorced or are from a broken marriage instead of their being assigned to the blackest hell as I used to hear preached, the bible says they can come to Jesus and find Him dispensing salvation and grace.

Christ came to save sinners.
