(CNN) - The long-time host of the Christian television program The 700 Club shocked several viewers after advising a man to divorce his wife.
Is this biblical?

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths
Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
It says the man has now turned "bitter towards God" and started seeing another woman.
I think reaffirming his relationship with God would be a better answer.

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter
I think there are times when separation is in order, and rarer times when divorce is necessary. In this case, I'm shocked that he would recommend divorce because of an illness. What happened to "for better or worse?" Sickening advice, IMO. He should be fired for it.

I'm getting tired of agreeing with everyone here (on some things)!
