Divorce Lawyer gets hand blown off

You did. :thumb:
Why then do you highlight the except for sexual immorality but not the and marries another woman commits adultery? If remarriage is the problematic bit why is it not highlighted? Infidelity--bad (1 Co 6:9), divorce--worse (Mal 2:16), serial adultery worse still (Lk 16:18).
Because your implication was that God never allows divorce. You are wrong. The highlighted portion shows that there is at least one case where God does allow for divorce.

Nothing personal.
Naz celebrates the consistency of God in not providing special protection
to lawbreakers like lawyers who don't agree with God's laws of divorce,
and actively subvert God's justice.
There. Fixed that for ya!

But divorce has always been regulated by the civil laws of the land... even in old testament Israel.
You seem to be confused by the vestiges of Catholicism.

The only assumption I can add is that anyone who is evil enough to target his own lawyer as well as his spouse's lawyer AND anywhere in their close proximity is not a reliable source.
THREE BOMBS. I can't imagine why the mother would feel the need to temporarily relocate out of the country to keep her child safe.
An elder told you to file for divorce?

So, the other murderers and criminals running around uncaught right now celebrate consistency? There are many adjectives I have heard to describe the Christian God and consistent has never been one of them
:yawn: I love my family. I have proven it by telling them the truth (Ac 20:20).
God absolutely hates divorce (Mal 2:16, Mt 19:8). Understand the exceeding sinfulness of sin (Ro 7:13).
What God really meant when he said I hate divorce is--I love divorce (Mal 2:16). :idunno: What Jesus really meant when he said you are not free to commit serial adultery was--make it up as you go along (Lk 16:18). :idunno:

:think: Seriously. The *evidence* is in the fact that this lowlife nutcase reacted in a way that few soon to be divorcees do:
He made three murder attempts.
So much for him wanting a relationship with his son.
Jesus never endorsed divorce (Mal 2:16, Mt 19:8).

Yet God is divorced.... stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
He doesn't hate it enough to not do it himself.
He hates it but understands the necessity of it.
Like I said before, you cannot see the forest for the trees... thank goodness you don't teach people... if you do, I feel sorry for them.

Didn't that poor
The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD [Hos. 1:2].
"...When God said to Hosea, “Go,” He was not just granting him permission to marry Gomer; it was a command to do so. Hosea probably was a young man, probably living in the Ephraim country of the northern kingdom. He met this beautiful girl and fell madly in love with her, and then she played the harlot. Naturally he wanted to put her aside. He might have wanted to marry her, but he wouldn’t dare do that in a little town—and the Mosaic Law said to stone her. What is he going to do? God said, “Go and marry her.” God is actually asking him to break the Mosaic Law. Someone will say, “That’s terrible.” Not when God tells you to do it, my friend. God said to him, “Hosea, you were in love with her, and now you want to put her aside. I don’t want you to put her aside; I want you to marry her. She is a wife of harlotry and child of harlotry.” Apparently there was a record of unfaithfulness in her family.
Here at the very beginning, the Lord makes clear to Hosea how He is going to use this experience in the prophet’s life. He said, “For the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD.” He is comparing that which is physical harlotry or adultery to that which is spiritual harlotry or adultery.
This is applicable to the believer today. You can play fast and loose with God, and you are nothing in the world but a harlot, a spiritual harlot, in His sight. That is exactly the language He uses here, and God uses pretty plain language. I wish the pulpit today were a little stronger than it is. We all are trying to be very nice and, as a result, we sometimes do not speak as strongly as the Word of God does." McGee, J. V. (1991). Thru the Bible commentary: The Prophets (Hosea/Joel) (electronic ed., Vol. 27, pp. 24–26). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.
Are you of the mind that God is finished with the nation Israel? Isa 43:14-28 God does not break his covenants--you do (Is. 24:5, Ezek. 44:7)--but God does not.
:noway: You're projecting again. God never endorses divorce (Mal 2:16, Mt 19:8). It was required for foreign wives :granite: (Ezra 10:1–16) because all that God does leads to life and good living (Eccl 10:2, Jn 10:10).

You believe God has endorsed divorce. I do not (Mal 2:16, Mt 19:8, Isa 5:20).

I'm going to both agree and disagree with you here.
His reaction was unusually harsh for a divorcee statistically.
However, his situation (certainly in his own mind) was also unusual.
She did not just divorce him:
(1) She stole 3 million dollars.
(2) THEN announced her intent to divorce.
(3) Then fought and got main custody of his son.
(4) Then sued and got support payments.
(5) Then sued and had the payments increased.
(6) Then harrassed her ex-husband's new partner and tried to frame her
and slander her for cheating.
(7) Then poisoned his son against him, and probably conspired with
the son to rip him off for his money.
(8) Then she attempted to leave the country with his son.
Many would consider these circumstances also quite extreme,
even for a bitter divorce.
--------------------
After a long bitter drawn out battle for money and custody,
he took some violent counteraction.
(1) Its not clear that he attempted to kill.
The explosive charges were small and possibly designed to maim
or blind rather than kill.
(2) Its not at all clear that his actions constitute murder.
They can also be construed as self-defence and defence of property and family.
The unfortunate result of this final blowup (no pun intended),
is that yes, he is already alienated from his son,
and now has likely lost him as a friend and family member in this lifetime.
I doubt however that it was his original intent,
and the son may have contributed to the situation
by siding with the gold-digging mom.
I strongly suspect that the son's loyalty was also easily influenced
by the amount of money the woman took off with.
The whole affair looks very seedy on all sides.
