The mixing of the KOG with the world is the subject of some of Jesus' parables, such as the one about the wheat and weeds,
in which the separating is done at the Judgment.

Does His word not separate the soul and the spirit now?

Of course He does. Waiting on God to clean up what is obviously filthy sounds like a tradition of convenience.

Here is my view…I’ll just say it’s best to marry someone who is biblical eligible.. stay married. Work through the problems and issues that all marriages have. Put God in the center of it. Grow in Christ together. Husbands ought to love their wives as Christ loved the church that He gave Himself for it (Eph. 5:25). Love your wife as your own body (28). If one does divorce and it’s not for the reason the Lord gave (Mt. 19:9), then for the sake of one’s soul, don’t go looking for another mate. It’s best to remain single than to be in a marriage that is not lawful with someone who doesn’t belong to you (Mk. 6:18).

Sounds ok, I would drop the parts about eligibility though. You wouldn’t want to advise improperly to a person’s eligibility to remarry or divorce.

Yes, and He also separates the sheep from the goats on Judgment Day (MT 25:46).

Yet, as I did it, marry, made the mistake twice before God introduced me to my mate. I had the wrong reasons in me to get married, not being aware, I did that ignorantly
Both those ex wife's are dead presently, hopefully with the Lord presently. However, there were other women I had had sex with and not married to them either.
The more anyone has been forgiven the more one forgives. So thankful God has forgiven me in Son at the cross of Son done once for everyone to come to see it and learn willingly to stand in it and not deny God, no matter what troubles happen to them. As God knows who are his willingly and who are not, I will glory in both since Son as risen is preached thank you all

Personally, if you recognize a worldly issue within the church, God's prescription is repentance now, not waiting for Him to sort it out on Judgement Day.

The issue is, much of the world has been integrated by the religious system of Christianity that people can no longer recognize those things as foreign to the Kingdom of God. THESE are the things that will continue to grow along side the Kingdom and be dealt with by the Lord later, so we shouldn't fret about it.

To apply the issue about marriage and divorce: knowing if someone was brought together by the Lord requires wisdom, not just a church building as the setting for the ceremony.

What God joins together
Mark 10:9
And no man may separate what God has joined together.”

Ever, the mystery of true marriage and is physical in the born new two as now one in Father and Son
Amazing Grace mystery I do not know much, yet a little as Father leads each to see over above their first birth in flesh and blood. me in process
