Why So Many Divorced Christians

Why is it that so many people that claim Jesus as Savior are divorced?


Moderator - Because many of them got divorced and then later in life found Christ.


Barna report: Variation in divorce rates among Christian faith groups:
Denomination (in order of decreasing divorce rate)

% who have been divorced
Non-denominational ** 34%
Baptists 29%
Mainline Protestants 25%
Mormons 24%
Catholics 21%
Lutherans 21%

** Barna uses the term "non-denominational" to refer to Evangelical Christian congregations that are not affiliated with a specific denomination. The vast majority are fundamentalist in their theological beliefs.


I don't want to be sound judgmental of others who have been though divorce. It is worse than dying.
