I am still in shock after Pat Robertson made a statement in answer to an audience question on "The 700 Club" about divorcing a spouse who has Alzheimer's disease. The question was apparently along the lines of is it OK for a spouse to divorce a husband or wife with Alzheimer's disease? Robertson apparently answered "yes" to the question. Robertson's answer goes against the Holy Scriptures. "What God hath joined together,let not man put asunder", Jesus tells us in Mark 10:9.
If a person is seriously ill,especially with a terminal illness, that is when they most need their spouse and their family. God commands us to care for and comfort the afflicted. The concept of abandoning somebody who is seriously ill is obviously cruel and heartless. Most people remember the traditional wedding vows, "in sickness and in health" and "til death do us part".
I pray God makes Robertson think about what he said. We`must obey God's holy,inspired,and inerrant Word.
