Jeremiah 3 shows God divorced Israel — this disproves the Catholic position that divorce is ontologically impossible. But Mike's point is about divorce, NOT remarriage. God's response: reconciliation is offered but CONDITIONED on Israel's repentance (Jeremiah 3:13). God requires acknowledgment of guilt before restoration — not unconditional reunion.

Jeremiah 3:13: "Only acknowledge your guilt that you have rebelled against the Lord." God doesn't say "let's just get back together" — he requires repentance first. Application: if a justified divorce has happened, the wronged party can still desire reconciliation but can rightly require change from the other person. Against the Catholic annulment model where divorce doesn't ontologically exist.
