The “No-Exception” Doctrine of Divorce and Remarriage
The “No-Exception” Doctrine of Divorce and Remarriage
On Nov 17, 2013, Brother Malcomb Kniffen preached a sermon at the 12th Street Church of Christ in Moore, Oklahoma on the subject of divorce and remarriage. Brother Malcomb and the 12th Street church both believe the “no-exception” doctrine – that there is absolutely no-exception for divorce and remarriage. They believe Mt 5:32 and Mt 19:9 are merely clarifications the Old Testament laws regarding divorce and remarriage. I recorded Brother Malcomb with my voice recorder. This presentation is a review of the sermon and doctrine which he advanced.
Below are both the transcript and audio presentations of my review. The transcript is a rough draft. In the future perhaps someone with enough time and interest will take my rough notes and refine them into a halfway readable and usable document – worthy to be passed on. However, with short notice and a pressing schedule, I hastily produced my notes and present now my review.

Old Paths Advocate (1932-2005)
Old Paths Advocate
The Old Paths Advocate is the third oldest paper among the churches of Christ. Only Firm Foundation and Gospel Advocate are older. The editors of the Old Paths Advocate (OPA) stood against all innovations in doctrine and practice – including instrumental music, Bible classes and individual communion cups.
In the beginning, the name of the paper was “The Truth” (1928), but name changed in 1932 to “Old Paths Advocate.”
The original owner and editor of the paper was brother Homer L. King. Brother Don King, the youngest child of brother Homer King, continues today as the owner and publisher of the paper. We hope you will enjoy reading through these “pages of the past.”
