You are inferring that divorce is an ongoing thing. It is not. Yes it is against God's word, but, God forgives sin. IN the topic discussion world the sin is practiced...ongoing....there is a BIG difference. If one divorced every day....3, 4 times a week, etc. Then there would be some comparison. However, that is not the case.
Not true...
Galatians 3:19-21 (NASB) Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made. Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one. Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.
It simply is saying a mediator was used in the giving of the law, but no mediator was used with the Gospel promise. That is because God is true to His Word.

H3no515 might be referencing Galatians 2:
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." - Galatians 2:20 KJV
The concept here is that we lose who we were and become vessels for God's work, like an obedient limb that performs as He wishes. Not so much "gods" in the concept of independent agents that have their own wants and desires, but one with God and God's will.
"For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another." - Romans 12:4-5 KJV

Jesus did not have to say anything against homosexuality for it to be a perversion God said it was. There are many things Jesus did not says were a sin but with godly judgment and discernment, it is a no-brainer.
For example, Jesus did not say :
bank robbery, carjacking, rape, child abuse, trafficking of women and children were sins specifically BUT Jesus would never do that nor is it godly nor, holy to do. they are as the Bible calls them Acts of evil and do not have to be labeled to be known as evil.
Your comment was perverse and twisted.
