Jesus reinstituted God’s original plan for marriage – one man for one woman for life. He, however, provided one exception only for divorce and remarriage. Our Lord provided the opportunity for the innocent party to divorce because of adultery and to marry again – to someone biblically eligible to marry. “And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery” (Matthew 19:9 NKJV). By the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the apostle Paul instructed that when someone divorces for reasons other than adultery, only two biblical options are available. The spouses may resume the marriage or remain celibate. “Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife” (1 Corinthians 7:10-11). However, it is possible that there may be an innocent party to divorce not because of adultery (e.g., desertion, abuse), and yet neither Jesus Christ nor any inspired writer taught that in these cases that one was eligible to remarry with God’s approval (1 Corinthians 7:10-11).
A man and a woman can be friends without the benefits of cohabitation – not living together as though they were husband and wife, as well as not having a sexual relationship of any kind. While married couples should experience companionship, non-married persons can also enjoy companionship within biblical bounds.

An agnostic is someone who doubts whether God exists. There is abundant evidence outside of and inside of the Bible that proves the existence of God. The intricate design apparent in the created universe that far exceeds the capability of mankind is one such evidence. As much as the existence of every dwelling declares that it was built by someone, the existence of the universe – from the night skies to the intricacy of the human eye – call for a builder, too. God is that Builder who is responsible for the intricate design of the created universe. He also provide revelation of Himself in the Bible. The New Testament portion of the Bible pertains to the current age – the Christian Age or Christianity.
The very existence of the Bible that evidences a source beyond mere mortal men likewise proves the existence of God. For instance, many hundreds of prophecies recorded through inspired penmen over about 1,600 years foretold of the establishment of the spiritual kingdom or the church, as well as the coming of the Messiah or Savior Jesus Christ. Every one of those prophecies was fulfilled completely in every detail; that does not happen with human ingenuity alone. Again, have your son contact a congregation of the churches of Christ in his community to learn more.
