In Corinthians its says clear as day stay unmarried or reconcile. I'm going through this situation now just now coming to Christ I got baptized me and my husband haven't been together in years so I met a man we been together for 4yrs he purpose to me I said yes but this subject haven't been sitting well with me I asked others who more mature in Christ than me if that makes since. I was told you can remarry if sexual immorality OK that was me. I read the bible I didn't see anything really clear to me about this subject so I prayed about it so other day a lady I worked with we got on this subject dont know how she said some told her to show me and Corinthians and what she did that for its in they clear if you are married you must get back together or stay unmarried. So I got to leave this man I build a relationship with its going to hurt but God is more important I don't want to wake up and be in hell because I am a adultery and I was aware about it God not going to change his words because of our desires. I pray Jesus keep his hands on me and continue to bring light to me

So I'm other words, your options are to either act like Miss Havisham for the rest of your life or risk eternal damnation. What makes any sane and rational Christian think this doctrine is biblical? 1 Corinthians 7:11 cannot be a universal command or that would contradict 1 Cor 7:15, Matt 19:9, Deut 24:2 and other verses.

@@dh605x thank for the verses I’m going to study . I’m going through a similar situation with a divorce person and I’m being mean to them because I’m not sure about this topic . Thank you for the topic

[@dh605x]

@@andrella7748 I can cite some other texts to show why the Marriage Permanence Doctrine fails to withstand scrutiny. 1 Cor 7:9 and 7:28 make it clear that entering into a marriage is not a sin if you are unmarried for any reason. 1 Tim 4:2-3 is further support that bans on marriage are not biblical. Legalists will often claim these verses don't apply to divorcees, but Paul gives no indication of this and that claim cannot be supported by other verses when read in their intended context. The most damning evidence against this teaching that I see is what the Scriptures do NOT say. Nowhere is Jesus or Paul or any other authority commanding those who are divorced and remarried to get another divorce to avoid eternal damnation. Nowhere in Scripture is there any mention of a so-called "adulterous marriage" or even the concept of one. If being remarried would render you ineligible for salvation - or cause you to lose your salvation if you were already saved - then why wasn't this made explicit? The only reasonable answer I know of is that it doesn't, and the teaching that says otherwise should be rejected. I don't believe it is reasonable that the Scriptures would have been silent regarding this requirement if this were a salvation issue. Also, if any and all remarriage when there is a living former spouse was adultery, then why was it explicitly allowed under the Law of Moses? It isn't reasonable to assert that Jesus "changed the law" (Matt 5:17) or expanded the definition of adultery to include actions that were not adultery before. They also stretch and distort certain verses and concepts way out of their intended context - as false teachings often do. They will take verses in Matt 19, Mark 10 and Luke 16 to show that Jesus condemns all remarriage when there is a living former spouse. Jesus never condemned remarriage per se, but only condemned the practice of divorcing simply because a spouse met someone they liked better. Scripture cannot contradict itself. If it appears to, then chances are something is wrong with how you are interpreting them. They also twist other verses like 1 Cor 7:15 (dealing with remarriage after an abandonment) and 1 Cor 6:9 ("adulterers will not inherit the Kingdom", and claiming that being in a second marriage is adultery). This stuff could have come from a George Orwell novel. I would tell such people to refer to Revelation 22:18-19 and consider that a warning.

@@dh605x Living in lust is proof you have not been born again. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, so you have to surrender your sex life to Jesus Christ and let HIM take away your lust. He will do it. Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more. For you remember what we taught you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor- not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways. Never harm or cheat a fellow believer in this matter by violating his wife, for the Lord avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned you before. God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives. Therefore, anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching but is rejecting God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you. 1 Thessalonians 4:1‭-‬8 “You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye-even your good eye-causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your hand-even your stronger hand-causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. Matthew 5:27‭-‬30 When my husband left after I got born again in 2005, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and told me He was taking away lust, and if I even dreamed about it to rebuke the thought in Jesus' name. Think of yourself as a slave to Jesus Christ instead of a slave to your sinful nature. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:19‭-‬25 NKJV

[@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways]

It is pretty hard to even watch this since I have a playlist with 100 videos of true preaching on divorce and remarriage. Divorced believers are to stay single or be reconciled to their life-long spouse. I am obeying God's Word and remaining chaste and pray for my husband though he divorced me 10 years and serves in a church with his new one which is adultery. The adulterer goes to the lake of fire, just as all liars. But as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality], and murderers, and sorcerers [with intoxicating drugs], and idolaters and occultists [who practice and teach false religions], and all the liars [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8 Jesus said a marriage is until death, and any remarriage is adultery.

Anyone's head will spin. But if you repeatedly study, it slowly become clear. We have to be compassionate to people than just rebuke them for violating law. If Jesus does not condemn sinners and is always lovingly forgiving, we need to do the same to others and try to follow him.

[@cellslave]

A correct translation is God hates "putting away..." If a man "puts away" his wife (sends her away WHILE STILL BEING MARRIED which was a common practice in the culture he was speaking of) and she gets with another man, this is adultery. Remarriage after a legal DIVORCE is not adultery.

This topic needs to be discuss and address to singles who want to be married to avoid having a lack of knowledge of what they are/ will get into. Marriage is ordained by God, a covenant between God, Man and his wife...until death. Divorce was NEVER of God, but it was permitted to Moses under the MOsaic law due to the hardness of man's heart. People who are on their 2nd marriage finds scripture or should I say twist scripture to satisfy their flesh so they dont feel guilty of committing adultery. Jesus clearly tells us about divorce and adultery in Matthew 5:32, Matthew 19:9, 1Corinthians 7:10-11. Fast, pray and read God's word for yourself to get a response from God on what to do. He'll speak to you.

I have been divorced since 2001, But even before my divorce I studied the scriptures, I go by the KJV of the Bible only, If I could understand Greek or Latin I would use those also, But these other Bibles I do not trust, anyone who keeps their self single, when divorced for as long as some of us have, knowing we would like, even love to have a relationship & a companion, YOU know we are truly seeking God in our life & doing what His will is, Do not go by what man says, you will be led astray, satan is sneaky & he will deceive you, don`t choose lust over life!

[@3n197]

Tony Rowan I’ll simply say this first. I don’t know for 100% what the answer is. I do know that Jesus always states the perfect will of God which is to never sin or to divorce or remarry. However, we never meet His standard and yet He has made a way for us. So it’s almost like saying well Jesus said to never lie but we all have and then saying all liars go to hell so if I ever lie again after conversion I am doomed. Also, adultery in the Bible is at times used to mean a breaking of a covenant. So anytime we break vows we commit adultery and at one time Moses allowed divorce n remarriage even though just like today that is not Gods perfect will but we are hard hearted. God never said ok and overlooked anything that was deemed living in sin so evidently He didn’t see it that way in the OT.

[@theladylooking1]

@@3n197 Moses allowed it because a hard heart was not saved anyways, and Jesus said that from the beginning this was not so, Jesus came to restore!

[@OldToughDW]

It would be Ancient Greek and Aramaic. Latin is a made up language based on what written records we have from the Roman empire. Also if there was only one certain position to take on divorce and remarriage then it would be easy. Just open your bible to __________! So I understand that you are against it,. But the same things you say can be said about divorce. Truthfully, once you get a divorce you are in a sinful state and once you remarry you are in a sinful state and the answer to both is the same. Except it takes two to do it or undo it in both cases. I don't see where Jesus taught that a divorce or a new marriage could make one lose their salvation, but there are things like unforgiveness, that definitely will cause that to happen. Human problems, which deal with the attitude of the heart, are so rarely easily and simply rectified by a simple yes or no answer. like you give. An oversimplification is also the Devil's tool of deception; especially when it lacks any love or compassion for the person. Which puts you where?

Finally. it wasn't the woman at the well Jesus told to go and sin no more.

Let’s say a man’s wife cheats on and then divorces him..or even the other way around and a man cheats on and divorces his wife. The betrayed spouse cannot get remarried without committing sin? That hardly seems reasonable or just..

[@danawaldrop4930]

It's neither. The words are twisted - satan manipulates the Word so that people will live in bondage and turn away from the Lord because pastors will use that to condemn them and then in the very next breath state that there is no condemnation in Christ. No there is not - but there IS condemnation in the church. It is the work of the devil to teach that remarriage is adultery.

[@nursesteve2004]

precisely my point...I was married for just over a year of which only 42 days were spent together. My wife decided that her grandmother must come first and if I was not willing to accept that and allow her to live with us, then she had no place for me in her life, therefore she and her grandmother abandoned the marriage, and since then, she has remarried. Why should I now be barred from remarrying?

[@nealdoster8556]

(1) By understanding this issue from a chronological perspective we can determine that it was many years after Christ teaching on this matter that the Apostle Paul (while addressing questions submitted to him by the church of Corinth / 1 Cor. 7:1) restricted remarriage for the first time and only under one of the circumstances he enumerates (v. 11). This is the only remarriage restriction following divorce and it proves that prohibiting remarriage is unique in God’s Word. That’s why it’s important to understand biblical facts chronologically (and NOT randomly). That way biblical precedents reveals that keeping people out of marriage was NOT God’s will either. Marriage is the right place for sexual expression and Paul reveals that those formerly married should remarry instead of burn with passion (1 Cor. 7:8, 9). (2) Some Pastors have put the “horse before the cart” (so to speak) chronologically by reading Paul’s prohibition as if Jesus had already prohibited remarriage. Thus they are theorizing that “remarriage was prohibited” by Jesus when in fact it was not. Believing that rearranges the chronology about when and to what extent remarriage was actually prohibited in God’s Word. It subverts a persons perspective by exchanging the uniqueness of prohibiting remarriage with that of a uniform prohibition. In the New Testament we don’t actually have one exception for remarriage (as some suggest), we only have one exception for prohibiting remarriage. (3) While the Church should be fully involved in preserving marriages, we should be very careful about coercing those divorced into a life of perpetual singleness. Formerly married Christians have their sexual struggles and 1 Cor 7:8,9 gives them instruction as to what to do. It is best to read those verses in light of the first 7 verses that precede it. (4) It is worth noting that when Jesus’ teaching is paralleled with the writings of Moses neither men criticize remarriage or blame the innocent party of divorce for the adultery it causes them to commit. Jesus actually revealed that men who insisted on the right to put away their wives were culpable (Matthew 5:32 "causeth her to commit adultery"). The woman divorced in this case scenario was allowed to remarry and was NOT blamed for the ensuing adultery. Jesus uniquely revealed that this adultery was distinct from that of the law and that culpability did NOT reside with her (the one repudiated). (5) In the Patriarchal society of Israel a man was not allowed to remarry his ex-wife if in the intervening time she remarried. That’s because he caused her to be defiled by releasing her with the right of remarriage (Deut. 24:2,4). The defilement that ensued (like the adultery of Jesus’ teaching) was the inadvertent consequence of violating an exclusive obligation established by the first marriage as God designed from the origin. This way of committing adultery was uniquely different from that which was punished. (6) While most of Jesus' teaching centers around the fact that men in Israel's Patriarchal society controlled divorce, it is worth noting that He did give a case scenario in the event the wife does the divorcing (Mark 10:12). This scenario helps men repudiated by their wives (particularly in today's culture) understand that they are not always at fault for the divorce or culpable for violating sexual exclusivity when remarried. It is also note worthy that the Apostle Paul gives a New Testament circumstance where the believer is emancipated of all marital obligation. Thus there is NO residual obligations to violate. (7) In 1 Cor.7:12-15 the Apostle Paul emancipates New Testament believers who are repudiated by unbelievers. This absolves believers from further obligations to the marriage. Christians experience absolution if they are repudiated by an unbeliever. This exemption did not previously exist under the Old Testament, thus causing one to commit adultery by violating an exclusive obligation intrinsic to marriage. (8) Because my motive for defending marriage after divorce is often misunderstood, I’d like to affirm that believers should strive to honor first marriages. Love your spouse in difficult times and don’t let your own weaknesses be the reason your marriage fails. God did create marriage for life, so do all within your power to make that happen. (9) In summary of Jesus' teaching on divorce, the question the Pharisees ask Jesus (Matt. 19:3) trivialized marriage and perceived divorce as inconsequential. Therefore Jesus revealed the consequence caused by the first marriage ending prematurely. If they had remained married this way of committing adultery would not occur (which was the point Jesus was making). Divorce causes the paradox Christians grapple with because it is antithetical to God’s creative design for marriage (Matthew 19:4-6, 8b). From the concession of divorce onward the second marriage (which was graciously allowed under the law) inadvertently violated an exclusive obligation set forth by the former. Thus causing the adultery the way Jesus described. An inadvertent adultery caused by the first marriage not being sustained. (10) It's necessary to understand Jesus and Moses in an agreeable fashion so that Christians don't make their teaching on this issue contradict. When we see the big picture of interpreting them in harmony we understand that divorce and remarriage in God's Word are real and effective events that changed marital status and obligations from the former spouse to the present. Pastors who teach that those remarried should divorce their present spouse has come to that conclusion by believing the "indissoluble marriage" theory, thus imagining that the first marriage survived divorce. That’s NOT what Jesus taught!! Divorcing your current spouse causes sin, NOT repentance. You MUST believe what Jesus actually said within it's original CONTEXT so that you can rightly divide the Word of Truth. Blessing

@@punishednomorefreetoprotec2165 When Moses conceded divorce to hardhearted men he did so for peace sake, just like Paul in 1 Cor.7:15. When Jesus made a reference to this fact (Matthew 19:8) He was not criticizing Moses (as claimed by some), He was actually being critical of hardheartedness. Jesus’ following remarks “but from the beginning it was not so” (8b) revealed to the Pharisees that divorce was foreign to God’s creative design for marriage(4-6). This masterfully exposed the calloused hearts of the Pharisees for wanting to divorce their wives for all kinds of subjective reasons and it revealed to them that they were transgressing God’s will for marriage by prematurely ending it. Divorce then causes an inadvertent consequence for remarriage. In the sermon on the mount Jesus revealed to His covenant people Israel that by divorcing their wives (which were allowed to remarry Deut. 24:2) they were causing them to commit adultery (Matthew 5:32). In the Patriarchal society of Israel men were causing their wives to commit this manner of adultery, that is to commit adultery by defaulting on “the law of her husband” set forth by marriage itself (Romans 7:2b) KJV. Because marriage sets forth the responsibility of lifetime faithfulness, divorce and remarriage will transgress that obligation. Jesus revealed to Israel the consequences of prematurely ending a marriage. In the Patriarchal society of Israel men who initiated divorce were the ones guilty of the ensuing adultery of their former wives when they remarried (Matthew 5:32). This adultery was not the adultery of being unfaithful while married which was punishable by stoning. This adultery happens exactly how Jesus describes it in the text. These TRUTHS are overlooked by “divorce to repent” (DTR) advocates (those who teach that the divorced and remarried should divorce). Jesus is directly speaking of an adultery that’s a result of prematurely ending a marriage. He is not speaking of an adultery that’s a result of Him abrogating (as they claim) the law of Moses. The abrogation supposition changes (adds to) the dialogue between the Pharisees and Jesus. By adding to God’s word it perverts the text. It changes the perception of when this adultery began, how and why the adultery occurs and to whom the adultery was relevant. For most DTR advocates this adultery begins as a result of believing Jesus abolished the Old Testament divorce concession. Thus they believe Jesus changed divorce possibility or made divorce impossible and therefore the teaching of Jesus (for them) is applicable going forward. In other words Jesus’ teachings is not applicable to whom He was speaking historically. It becomes applicable by adding the abrogation supposition, understand? This oversight and addition to Jesus’ teaching is the ground work for even more suppositions that are legalistic in nature. Particularly the “divorce to repent” supposition itself, for they are claiming divorce is necessary for salvation sake. The perception that Jesus changed marriage to being indissoluble is what drives those who advocate DTR. They believe this adultery to be the same as that punished in the law of Moses. But the truth is this adultery was not punished throughout the Old Testament. The adultery Jesus describes happens after the first marriage ends and because it ends prematurely (before death). If one overlooks the retrospective application of Jesus’ words, they cannot account for this adultery in the Old Testament. Therefore they have to account for it some other way, How? By believing abrogation. I cannot over emphasize the problem suppositions cause for this issue. Take a fresh look a the comment threads on any site that deals with divorce and remarriage. You have a spectrum from the licentious all the way to the legalist. But my point is, if you believe abrogation or the abolishment of the divorce concession, you will arrive at the legalistic end of the spectrum. Thankfully there are balanced perspectives also. One way of having a balanced perspective on this issue is recognizing supposition. That’s because supposition drives supposition. For example the false supposition of abrogation produces the false supposition of indissoluble marriage. That false supposition produces the false belief that divorce is no longer effective. That false supposition produces the false belief that the adultery Jesus described is happening in the first marriage. That false supposition produces the false belief that remarriage itself is the adultery, etcetera. If that false supposition is believed, wouldn’t you then suppose that God would want you to repent of your marriage if the marriage itself was the adultery? That’s what DTR advocates are telling those who are remarried. They believe a divorced and remarried person is still married to their first spouse or some would say they are still in a one-flesh relationship with the first spouse. Consequently they READ INTO Jesus’ teachings the idea of “indissoluble marriage” or “indissoluble one-flesh union.” These ideas for them explain the ensuing adultery but they don’t realize they have changed how Jesus described this manner of adultery nor to whom it was relevant. They have overlooked the retrospective indictment Jesus was making against those who divorced throughout the Old Testament. By believing Jesus made the husband/wife relationship indissoluble, they imagine the adultery to be occurring in the first marriage and see remarriage as merely one long case of adultery. By changing Jesus’ words to fit their suppositions they have changed how this manner of adultery occurs from that which Jesus described. Their suppositions misconstrue Jesus’ words, but it all starts when biblical precedents become irrelevant by believing abrogation. Precedents where remarriage resulted in a binding marriage even though it caused a shameful consequence. My post have primarily opposed DTR. That’s because their suppositions have caused so much confusion for this issue by creating a whole new dimension not even in the bible. Their suppositions are a contentious issue for Christendom today while not even being part of New Testament dialogue. Supposing a remarried individual is still married to their first spouse causes much confusion for this issue. My heart goes out to those who are victimized by DTR which exacerbates divorce and destroys families. Conversely, if Jesus’ words are understood contextually He would be understood to be speaking retrospectively about what hard heartedness caused Israel. When this adultery is understood to be happening in the Old Testament the abrogation supposition is proven a lie. Therefore this manner of adultery is not something new, not something happening in the first marriage, thus not that adultery. Therefore not the adultery described by abrogation. We then should realize that biblical precedents were not abolished. When we understand Jesus did not contradict Moses, Moses and Jesus can be and should be read harmoniously. We then understand that even though a shameful consequence occurs because of divorce, remarriages were binding marriages to be honored as such. I should emphasize that both Jesus and God knows that the inadvertent shameful consequence that women experienced when remarried was the fault of their husbands for divorcing them (Matt. 5:32, Deut.24:4). I want to say here that there is often an innocent party in divorce today. I see God’s grace in allowing remarriage in the Old Testament and I’m not for keeping people out of marriage except if they are within the New Testament circumstance in which Paul prohibited it. I want to reiterate my main points in short propositional statements so as to expose supposition. *Miss the retrospective relevance Jesus made to His convent people Israel about adultery and you will account for adultery some other way. DTR does exactly that. *Add abrogation (or the idea) to Jesus’ teachings and you are poised to believe marriages no longer end. *If you believe marriages no longer end you will also believe that the adultery that occurs in remarriage is the same adultery that was punished. *If you believe in indissoluble marriage you will believe in perpetual adultery. *If you believe in perpetual adultery for those remarried you will advocate the “divorce to repent” supposition. *If you advocate the “divorce to repent” supposition you will be legalistic. *If you add rules to the bible for salvation sake, then your own salvation is suspect because you are perverting the Gospel. A legalist by definition is one who adds rules to the bible for salvation sake.

But I’ve also heard pastors preach that you can leave your spouse for any reason because a “loving God would not want you to be unhappy in your marriage”. I would not say that if you divorce in remarry that you will go to hell, but I also wouldn’t advise you to divorce your spouse. I think the church speaks about divorce and remarriage lightly and it could very well cause someone to lose their salvation.

[@dh605x]

@@dashaunaee Actually, Jesus did NOT say that getting remarried was adultery if you were divorced with a living former spouse. There are two scenarios to consider: Scenario I: A man is married to Jessica who has been faithful to him for 10 years. At some point, he meets Rachael, who likes to wear short skirts and pretty little dresses. He likes Rachael and wants to be with her, but he is already married to Jessica. So he makes up some excuse to divorce Jessica so he can be with her. He marries Rachael and gives no further thought to the wife he so cruelly left behind. Scenario II: A man has been married to Heather for 10 years. Heather has a serious drinking and drug problem. She has been in and out of rehab, and he has put up with her vices for several years. He is at his wits end and realizes that Heather will never change, and doesn't want to change. When Heather is arrested for DUI for the third time in as many years, he decides he is done and files for divorce. Five years later, he meets Deanna, who doesn't have any serious vices, and marries her. What kind of behavior is Jesus most likely to have condemned as tantamount to adultery? Is the man in the latter scenario as much an adulterer as the man in the former scenario? Is the man who married Deanna in as much danger of eternal damnation as is the man who married Rachael?

There is no precedent in Scripture for an indefinite separation instead of divorce. (I'm only writing this because I want to counter the unbiblical notion that someone who had to get a divorce for serious reasons is not free to marry again. I'm not your judge, nor are you mine.) The problem with the whole "reconcile or be celibate" mantra is that it creates a universal commandment that was not intended. Does anybody read Luke 18:22 and interpret that to say you must forfeit your earthly possessions or no Heaven for you? Why then should we treat 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 that way? What would you say to the man whose wife persistently refused him sexual relations? Would you tell him he must be condemned to celibacy because marital vows are marital vows? Where is the sense in that? The mantra also misconstrues the nature of marital vows. "For Better or For Worse" is supposed to mean "no matter what life throws at us", not "no matter what evil you do to me". Marital vows are not a suicide pact, nor are they unconditional.

[@richardfrend1916]

In the context of the scriptures, specifically within the Jewish tradition, the terms "putting away" and "divorce" often refer to two different concepts. Putting Away is commonly used to describe the act of separating or ceasing to cohabit with a spouse without legally dissolving the marriage. It can imply a physical separation or a temporary break, but the marital bond remains intact. In some cases, "putting away" can refer to a form of separation due to a variety of reasons, such as adultery, abandonment, or irreconcilable differences. The purpose of putting away is to allow for reflection, reconciliation, and potential restoration of the marital relationship. Divorce, on the other hand, refers to the legal dissolution of a marriage. It is the formal process of ending the marital contract and releasing both parties from their marital obligations and rights. Divorce permanently terminates the marriage relationship, allowing both individuals to remarry if they choose to do so. Divorce can be sought for various reasons, including adultery, abuse, desertion, or irreconcilable differences. It's important to note that translations that refer to the word fornication as being the exception of when a man is allowed to 'put away' his wife is infact correct. If there was fornication it is because the couple were betrothed to be married but not yet legally married. In Jewish custom and law, an engagement period was called the 'betrothal period' and it was the first part of the two part process of Jewish marriage, which creates the legal relationship without the mutual obligations. This is why it reminds us that we need to remain faithful until Christ's return as the believer saved and redeemed is also like the betrothed. Beware of idols lest we too fornicate during our salvation and Christ returns and 'put's us away' Pray and seek the wisdom of God on this matter and I hope this helps all those seeking clarification.

Here is the correct Greek translation - biblehub.com/lexicon/matthew/5-32.htm. Some Bible translations are NOT of God. They mistranslate the Word of God and lead the masses to hell... (4) Remarriage = adultery per Matthew 5:32. The only way to get right with God if you are living in adultery is, according to Jesus, to go and sin no more (John 8:1-12; John 5:1-15; James 4:17; Luke 13:1-5; James 1:13-16; ). To go and sin no more means to repent/turn away from that sin, by leaving the adulterous relationship. If your current spouse is your idol, this will be very, very, difficult, almost impossible as illustrated by Jesus here: One thing thou lackest - leave behind the one thing that is coming between you and God, the thing that is your god/idol, in order to get right with God >> Matthew 19:16-22 (5) Scripture showing that adultery leads to eternal hell: 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21. Note: Jesus is faithful to keep His word. On judgment day, He will do exactly according to 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21, among other Bible passages about judgment day. Bible verses about Divorce & Remarriage: www.iamthetruevine.info/bible-verses-divorce-remarriage/ (6) I have heard some people living in adultery (married to a wife or husband number two or three) saying that they prayed and God gave them that current spouse. Well, if your current marriage has been established to be adultery per scripture, then obviously, when you prayed, it WAS NOT GOD who answered your prayer. Satan answered your prayer!!!!! And you attributed that answer, in this case, your second/third wife or husband to God. Wow! This is a very bitter pill to swallow, especially if you have an ego to uphold! For this reason, our Master, Jesus, gave this command: "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." Luke 9:23 King James Version (KJV) Let me write this with my emphasis. (i) Deny yourself - it's not about you and what you want. It's about obeying Jesus. We deny Jesus in our thoughts, actions or lack thereof and words when we don't put Him first in EVERYTHING - Matthew 22:37-38 (ii) Take up your cross DAILY, not just some of the time, not just when you feel like it, not only when it is convenient, not just when it is fun but day in day out. (iii) Follow Jesus - follow Him. Where He goes, you go. This is the definition of obedience. I know this sounds harsh. But then, the path to life is narrow and ONLY A FEW find it - Matthew 7:13-14 My testimony: For many years I believed that God had answered my prayer for a husband. When I prayed, He told me He would bless me with one. I was supposed to patiently wait for God in faith and confirm everything before getting married. But I did not. So Satan jumped up and answered my prayer before God could. I was in living in adultery, thinking I was married to a husband provided by God but did not even know it until years after the divorce. It was a short tumultuous marriage. 19 years after I had believed this man was God's answer to my prayer for a husband, and 15.5 years after the actual divorce, I fasted and prayed and asked God point-blank to tell me if He had blessed me with my ex-husband. He said a big NO. Can you imagine I had believed a lie for 19 years!!!! The Devil is a liar! I had erroneously ASSUMED that just because I prayed, the man was from God. But God cannot violate His own Scripture. Moral of the story? Once we realize that what we have believed about God is contrary to what He, God, tells us in His written word, the Bible, we MUST be willing to see the plain truth that we were wrong and that Satan, the master deceiver, deceived us! We got got! Then we must be humble to repent, taking whatever corrective measures it takes to get right with God. I repented of having lived in adultery and of having attributed something to God that was of Satan!

I’m sorry but this guy has a lot of nerve and therefore no fear of God regarding this critical topic. He’s very arrogant to start off with a rebuke that few people have really studied this and yet he still doesn’t know the difference between fornication and adultery, doesn’t understand the difference between under bondage and bound, completely ignores the first two words of Jer 3 as it was referencing Deut 24 which is “they say” which shows it wasn’t God who said because He obviously wouldn’t refer to Himself as “they”. Paul was clear in Romans 7:2,3 that a woman married to “another man” while her “husband” was still alive would be called an adulteress but if her “husband” dies, she will no longer be called an adulteress though she be married to “another man”. The other man doesn’t even get the title of husband. To be an apologist that God wouldn’t expect someone to stay in a bad marriage and He understands that people don’t always go by His will be done on earth as it is in heaven is sick and twisted. He has completely cheapened the power of love in a marriage and cheapened the gospel all together. He is making provision for people not to submit to the order of covenant in marriage. Way too much humanism and mans way that seems right. This is a very dangerous teaching because although he does teach that it is the remarriage that’s makes it adultery, he goes on to say that mercy covers adultery. Yes, mercy and forgiveness cover every sin provided there is repentance and Godly sorrow and it doesn’t continue. Name one other sin we can be forgiven for but keep practicing? There’s not one. #1 We follow Jesus and not Moses anyway but Jesus did refute what Moses said when He said, but from the beginning it was not so. In another words, Jesus brought back the original intent of marriage and said Moses didn’t follow it. For the hardness of your heart also is a pretty serious problem. What is divorce other than “I will never forgive you”! Jesus said that if we don’t forgive every man from our heart that the Father wouldn’t forgive us! That sounds serious! Also, what is hardness of heart but rebellion, unforgiveness, not being submitted to God and not being in right standing with Him. Any question about hardness of heart, Hebrews covers that in chapter 3. One last thing I will share about how God looks at covenant. He says in different cases that the covenant was broken but that is wrong, the covenant was maybe violated but not broken, vows were broken but not the covenant. Look up Joshua 9 regarding covenant that was made with the Gibeonites and then look at 2 Sam 21 get a picture of how much weight God puts on covenant. One last thing is he spoke about divorce like everyone does it and we should expect that half alleged Christian marriages should end in divorce. Actually, no, the early church definitely didn’t teach this and divorce in America was rare prior to 1960 not to mention remarriage adultery! So, apparently in the last 60 years we are just a lot smarter then the early church and what has always been taught for centuries?! For this man to be so flippant without really even concrete study personifies what is in the American pulpit!

It's really simple- The New Testament says that marriage is ONLY ONE man to ONLY ONE woman for ONE lifetime. To divorce AND remarry is ongoing adultery as long as the covenant spouse is still alive. 1 + 1= 1 flesh until death do you part. And he (JESUS) said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. Luke 16:15‭-‬18 KJV And unto the married I COMMAND, yet not I, but the LORD (JESUS), Let not the wife depart from her husband: but and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 7:10‭-‬11‭, ‬39 KJV Mark 10:11 And he (JESUS) saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. Romans 7:Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? 2 For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband DIES, she is released from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an ADULTERESS; but if her husband DIES, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man. Then read Revelation 1-3 to see that those committing sexual immorality will be left behind to go into Tribulation- Revelation 6-19, and you DON'T want to be here. Repent and turn from your sins, and ask God to make you born again by faith in Jesus Christ. My channel can help you if you have questions. Jesus is Lord.

@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways It depends on the situation. If one spouse commits adultery, then the other may divorce. Jesus' words, and he was talking about marriage as that's what the Pharisees asked about and not the betrothal period. Paul discussed a new phenomenon, desertion by an unbeliever. (Matthew 19:9 and 1 Cor 7:15). Jesus' and Paul's words. As far as the scriptures never explicitly saying "You may remarry," they didn't need to as any divorce was accompanied by marriage in most cases. Jesus and Paul were simply narrowing down the acceptable reasons for divorce. Divorce certainly isn't God's preference, I will add. When Jesus said, "What God has joined together, let no man separate." Let no man means that it shouldn't happen. Jesus knew that human hearts can be hard, so He knew that it does, unfortunately. As far as one-flesh goes, Paul also talks about one-flesh when a man visits a prostitute (1 Cor 6:16). Did that mean that a man marries a prostitute when he has sex with her? No. Then one-flesh isn't automatically a lifetime relationship. To say that a person (who was previously married and married now to another, even for a biblical reason) is in perpetual adultery would be false. Here's why: for the divorce, Jesus spoke to the woman at the well and said that she has had five husbands. He recognized each one. He never said that she had one husband and four other men (five if you count the guy she was with now). We don't know her whole history but we know what Jesus said. He also didn't say that she had to go divorce each husband and live as a single woman for the rest of her life. Paul didn't say that, either. He said, "live as you are ....do not seek to be bound, do not seek to be loosed." For Romans and Corinthians, yes....I agree. A wife should not marry another man while her husband is alive. I would hate it if my wife did that, but a wife would not have a husband in the case of the biblically divorced woman. She's not a wife in that case. Back on the perpetual adultery and divorcing if you are married to someone who has been married before or if you have and the notion of some that it is a sinful relationship. That's quite a standard (and goes against Paul's teaching). I don't think you want to hold yourself to that standard because what it means is that there is no grace in these situations, even for new believers. It also means that you must confess EACH sin you commit or you are living in that sin and if you die before confessing it, you will be in hell. You have quoted some good scriptures but you need to read them in context. I've seen enough of your posts to know that I'm not going to convince you. I posted this so that others could see a response to your works-based salvation ideas. Thanks.

This teaching didn’t sit very well with me. Whilst I understand the Pastors compassion for people who are divorced, I can’t fathom the passion with which is he advocating FOR divorce “spiritual badge of honour” for divorcing, really?!? I don’t think people should be looked down upon for divorcing, they aren’t any less Christian for doing so. But that doesn’t stop us from hating the action of divorce with the same passion with which our Heavenly Father does. Similarly to abortion, if you’ve done it before there is no condemnation in Christ but it doesn’t stop the action itself being a horrific one. Back to the sermon, I don’t think there’s as much contention over the grounds for divorce as there is by which means a person can be remarried. Based on my study it seems the ONLY instance a person can comfortably remarry is in the case of the spouse dying, the bible doesn’t seem to explicitly permit remarriage in any other scenario. Overall I didn’t feel comfortable with the content or the heart behind this teaching

@Douglas fornication is premarital sex comitted before, or during betrothal (engagement). That is why a man could divorce (break the betrothal contract) and marry another according to Deuteronomy 22:13-21. The Jewish custom was to call the betrothed (engaged) husband and wife but they were only in a contract to be married and not yet in a covenant until they became one-flesh after consummating their pledge. Once proven by the tokens of virginity the covenant wife could never be put away (divorced).

@@earnestlycontendingforthef5332 I stand by my words. You people take the words of Jesus to condemn any and all remarriage after divorce, when in fact He only condemned the practice of dumping a faithful spouse on a whim just to chase some other girlie. Divorce on compelling grounds is never condemned in Scripture. Neither is remarriage after such a divorce. If any and all remarriage after divorce is adultery, then either adultery was lawful under the Mosaic Law (Deut 24:2) or Jesus changed the Law (Matt 5:17) to alter the definition of adultery. It's unbiblical either way. Edit: in itself, the ideal of lifelong marriage is a worthy one. If it was fair to end a marriage for any reason or no reason at all, then marriage as we know it might as well not even exist. But when we take that ideal and make it into an absolute with no regard for how the spouses behave (cruelty, drug use, cheating, reckless gambling, attempted murder, etc), then we effectively engage in human sacrifice. If that isn't idolatry, then pray tell what is?

JESUS forgave adultery, but He commanded to "go and sin no more." So you can't continue in a second or third marriage while your first spouse is still alive. We love people to tell them the truth of Christ's grace to stop sinning. He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, But whoever confesses and turns away from his sins will find compassion and mercy. Proverbs 28:13 AMP What shall we say [to all this]? Should we continue in sin and practice sin as a habit so that [God’s gift of] grace may increase and overflow? Certainly not! How can we, the very ones who died to sin, continue to live in it any longer? But now since you have been set free from sin and have become [willing] slaves to God, you have your benefit, resulting in sanctification [being made holy and set apart for God’s purpose], and the outcome [of this] is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God [that is, His remarkable, overwhelming gift of grace to believers] is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:1‭-‬2‭, ‬22‭-‬23 AMP It's great that you believe in the Scriptures!! Covenant marriage is one man to one woman until death according to JESUS. He gives the command again in 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 & 39- And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: but and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 7:10‭-‬11‭, ‬39 KJV But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. Mark 10:6‭-‬12 KJV Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. Romans 7:1‭-‬3 KJV And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

You can list bible verses all day, but have you actually read every single verse in the Bible on divorce? Then come back to us with a true understanding of God's heart on divorce. It was never His plan, obviously, but people do sin and stay unrepentant and their marriage is never restored due to hard hearts, which God acknowledges in His Word. Divorce is never explicitly forbidden, nor is it ever called a sin, nor is it ever called adultery in the Bible. If it were, it would say that plainly in black and white. The verses you and others use are taken way out of context without understanding of the original translations either. If remarriage was adultery, it would say that in the law, but it does not, hence why I even bother to quote it. You are imposing your own view on scripture that is not correct at all. If you read the whole Bible on the topic, you will see that God has a lot more grace for divorce than you do. He himself divorces Israel due to unrepentant adultery. We are allowed to do the same.

I am not Catholic so I cannot answer concerning your church. But from what myself and others have discerned concerning divorce from the scripture, it is the breaking of the marriage contract that God allows divorce. This might include adultery but in my case, my wife abandoned me which broke our marriage contract. I have also heard from theologians that if God allows you to divorce, you generally will also have the permission to remarry. Yes, God's perfect will for us all is if married to stay married. But you along with me were the innocent party. Would God in his justice command us to be penalized for the rest of our lives to not have a companion to love just because of our spouses in their sin broke the covenant? This doesn't make sense. But scripture as you look into it into the real meaning in the original language is not legalistic to even make a list of what reasons are allowed for divorce. Adultery again is not a list but concerns someone who was not leagally divorced so whoever married them would be commiting adultery. It all makes perfect sense when you know.

He was dealing with a problem that was happening in the ancient days of the Jews. Let's look at what Jesus really said and Matthew chapter 5 verse 32. The term put away in the Greek is "APULUO" and the Greek term used for divorce is or certificate of divorce or process of divorce is"APASTASION" Jesus was addressing a problem going on with the Jews during his day. They were putting away their wives without giving them the written certificate of divorce as Moses had instructed them. and the men during the day would use putting away as a means of exploiting the vulnerable position that a lot of Hebrew women were put in. you have to read the whole context and understand what the whole message is behind it. It wasn't really so much about marriage divorce and remarriage, Jesus was addressing a specific problem that went deeper than that. Jesus expressed in Matthew chapter 19 that it was not God's intention for a marriage to end. yet he still in that particular passage addressed the issue of men putting away their wives for any reason. The adultery part was because you were still legally married. saying that a divorcee who is remarried is committing adultery is not rightly dividing the word of Truth.

Romans 6:1‭-‬2‭, ‬22‭-‬23 AMP It's great that you believe in the Scriptures!! Covenant marriage is one man to one woman until death according to JESUS. He gives the command again in 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 & 39- And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the LORD, Let not the wife depart from her husband: but and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband LIVETH; but if her husband be DEADBEAT, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 7:10‭-‬11‭, ‬39 KJV But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; and they twain shall be ONE FLESH: so then they are no more twain, but ONE FLESH. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. Mark 10:6‭-‬12 KJV Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he LIVETH? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he LIVETH; but if the husband be DEAD, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband LIVETH, she be married to another man, she shall be called an ADULTERESS: but if her husband be DEAD, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. Romans 7:1‭-‬3 KJV And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. Luke 16:14‭-‬18 KJV Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. Revelation 2:22‭-‬23 KJV But as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality], and murderers, and sorcerers [with intoxicating drugs], and idolaters and occultists [who practice and teach false religions], and all the liars [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8 AMP My channel has been doing lots of videos about this for years because hardly any pastor tells people the truth. Blessings and Maranatha.

[@TruthTriumphsOnlyLordJesus]

There isn't a loophole. Fornication is premarital sex and adultery is sex after marriage between one never married man and one never married woman. DEATH is the only way a covenant marriage is ended, and then you may only marry another believer in Jesus Christ who is never married before or also a person whose spouse has died. Hosea was married to a prostitute, so adultery does not end a marriage.

[@TheNarrowWay_John3.3]

If your living in willful sin, then you are not born again, living as a new creature in Christ . You must be born again and put off the old man/sinful life, die to your old man/women, die to self and your carnal nature. Be born again a new creator in Christ, putting on Christ and not living in your flesh but living in the spirit, or you will not go to heaven. If you were born again, and then you choose to take off Christ, put your old carnal self back on and go back to living in the flesh. That's called yoking yourself back to sin. Also If you go back to the law and yoke yourself to it, that's called falling from Grace. The bible makes it clear. 1 John 3:9 KJV 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 John 3:1-10 KJV Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, It says, "Whosoever abideth in Him". You can walk away from Him, by either going back to living in wilful sin in the world, or by going back to the law. God gives us free will and will let you walk out of His Rightous right hand. He won't force you to stay. "Be not entangled "again" with the yoke of bondage"👇 Galatians 5 (KJV) Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. Hebrews 10:26-31 (KJV) 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Another Example: Galatians 3 (KJV) O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. 5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. See they were Bewitched! It says they begun in the spirit then went back to the law=falling from Grace.

For example; planning to fornicate, planning to get drunk or partying, planning to murder etc. Or knowing these things are wrong and that you should follow Gods commandments but you choose not to etc. Those who are born again don't look forward to sinning, plan to sin/sin willfully. If you accidentally sin or get fleshy(for ex. getting angry n yelling at someone), you repent and keep moving towards Christ. God knows your heart and those who hate sin and those who look forward to sinning. There is a difference in accidental sin, willful sin or planning to sin. See the difference?

No one really knows what all of his crimes were but crucifixion was reserved for the worst and Jesus forgave him. So as I read the different posts here I wonder what if he had been divorced and remarried along with his crimes( which is possible)would Jesus have said the same to him? Then I realize Jesus never asked him to unscramble the crimes, sins that got him on the cross only to believe in him to be saved. I do not believe this to be a license to sin only that many have scrambled their lives through past sins and ask, are they required more than the man on the cross?

If you were never-married when you married your first wife AND it was the first time that she had ever been married, then the two of you are still in a covenant marriage even though you are divorced because only death breaks a covenant marriage (Romans 7:2-3 and 1 Corinthians 7:39). God can and will forgive you for your divorce and remarriage if you repent. However, you cannot stay in your second marriage because to stay in it is to continue to commit adultery. God never forgives any sins for which a person refuses to repent. To repent is to confess your sin to God AND forsake the sin. "He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy (Proverbs 28:13)." You have before you a difficult decision to make. If you want to satisfy Jesus with all of you like you said, then you must obey Him and come out of your adulterous marriage. Adultery is a sin and there is no way that you can stay in sin if you want to please the Lord. Many will tell you that you can stay in your second marriage and they will be speaking from their own worldly and fleshly view. Jesus is the one who said that to divorce and remarry or to marry a divorced person is to commit adultery, so you must choose to believe Him or to believe what people say. Read Mark 10:11-12 and Luke 16:18. Also, no adulterers will inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and Galatians 5:19-21). I too, was ignorantly in a remarriage after my divorce and when I found out the truth from reading and studying the scriptures I knew that I could not stay in my remarriage and please the Lord. I left my adulterous marriage which was one of the hardest things I have done and God gave me His grace and strength to leave. I have never looked back and I am daily taking up my cross and following Jesus. "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple (Luke 14:26-27)." Following Jesus is not easy, but it is worth it. "“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are FEW who find it (Matthew 7:13-14)."

It's really simple- The New Testament says that marriage is ONLY ONE man to ONLY ONE woman for ONE lifetime. To divorce AND remarry is ongoing adultery as long as the covenant spouse is still alive. 1 + 1= 1 flesh until death do you part. And he (JESUS) said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. Luke 16:15‭-‬18 KJV And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord (JESUS), Let not the wife depart from her husband: but and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 7:10‭-‬11‭, ‬39 KJV You can also read Mark 10:1-12 and Romans 7:1-3. Then read Revelation 1-3 to see that those committing sexual immorality will be left behind to go into Tribulation- Revelation 6-19, and you DON'T want to be here. Repent and turn from your sins, and ask God to make you born again by faith in Jesus Christ. My channel can help you if you have questions. Jesus is Lord.

If it really is that simple, then there should be simple answers to these questions: (1) If returning to your former spouse after she remarried was detestable in the eyes of God (Deut 24:4), when did it cease to be detestable? (2) If remarriage after a valid divorce is adultery, then why was it ever lawful in the first place? (Deut 24:2) (3) Was it because people's hearts were hard? (Matt 19:8) If that were the reason, when did peoples' hearts cease being hard? (4) Where in Scripture are people instructed to divorce their present spouses solely because one of them has a living former spouse? (5) What happens if they don't divorce their second spouses? Do they lose their salvation? Or become ineligible for salvation if they aren't already saved? If so, where is that written? (Note: you won't find it in 1 Corinthians 6:9 or any other general condemnation of adultery or immorality. Nor will you find it in any generic call to repent from sin.

I think that Paul’s abandonment corresponds to Luke 18:28-30 (NKJV Strong's) 28 Then Peter said, “See, we have left all and followed You.” 29 So He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.” In this text we see, that someone looses his spouse because of the faith to Jesus, God might give him later a new spouse and of course not in adultery. If this could not be, Jesus would have omitted "wife" in that phrase.

Interesting conversation. I'd have to dig into my Greek/Hebrew deeper to double check some of the assertions on meaning. . What I think we can all agree on is divorce of any kind or for any reason is a very serious matter in God's eyes, so we should not deal with it casually. The fact that the Bible doesn't go into it in lurid detail in many places is it's pretty straight forward. Jesus gives the one exception, and that was only recorded in Matthew where the author was speaking to Jewish converts regarding the betrothal period. In Mark and Luke--addressing gentiles--no exceptions are given. That in itself is instructive. . For argument sake, let's look at the wedding vows one hears at many Christian (and some secular) ceremonies. "I (fill in name) take you (fill in name) to be my lawfully wedded spouse, to have and to hold, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, and forsaking all others be united to you until death parts us." Notice: there are NO exceptions in those vows. In fact, they are a fairly exhaustive statement that there is no reason that divorce will happen. . Those are the vows many, if not most, Christians speak to one another. If we're going to say God permits divorce in certain circumstances, okay, fine....then list those exceptions in the wedding vows. . Imagine this: . ""I (fill in name) take you (fill in name) to be my lawfully wedded spouse, to have and to hold, in sickness or in health, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, and forsaking all others be united to you until death parts us.....except if we have bad sex, no sex, he gets addicted to porn, she turns frigid, they decided they don't like each other any more, they can't agree on money issues, he gets addicted to drugs, she gets addicted to alcohol, he gets fat, she gets lazy, he's a sinner, she's a sinner....etc, etc, etc. . C'mon....if we're going to say God permits divorce, why make the wedding vows themselves have zero exceptions? Isn't that dishonest? Isn't that putting a burden on the couple that some claim God does not? . My guess is the reason we don't do that is it is not ROMANTIC to list all the exceptions. But let's think on that: we voluntarily choose to make vows with zero exceptions, then later when we aren't happy with how our marriage is going, we run to God's word to find ways to undo our vows? That makes no sense at all. . I go with Jesus word's in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. We're to take the covenant marriage with utmost seriousness because "the two become one flesh....and what God has joined, let man not separate." It's pretty clear there that we are not to separate. God alone separates....in death.

I’ve actually done some more studying since this original post and you have to read the KING JAMES Bible. God hates “putting away.” Matt 19:9 actually says in whosoever “puts away” his wife and not divorces in the proper KJV. If you study the practice of “putting away”, it is when a Jewish man would send away his wife without an official divorce decree called a “get”. Why is this significant? The men in the Old Testament would have to reimburse the wife’s family the dowry when he formally divorced her by law. Deut 24:1 details the formal divorce process (formal written ‘get’, has to put it in her hand and send her out of the house). Without the “get”, the woman was still married which is why if he “puts her away”, she is an adulteress if she gets remarried because she was still legally married. Imagine if a separated person today gets married before the judge grants the divorce decree. They would be breaking the law and the marriage would not be recognized and it would be adultery. In Malachi 2:16 God says he hates “putting away” and described it as treacherous bc it’s not only cheated the woman and family out of the money owed rightfully, it also hindered her from being truly divorced.

It’s never once mentioned that remarriages are the unpardonable sin. Furthermore polygamy is also never condemned. So I don’t see the problem here. You’re making this up because you can’t forgive.

To AJ Louviere: Jesus was speaking about the teaching of the Mosaic Law regarding divorce for acceptableness, not adultery. If the latter had been the case, she would have been stoned to death. (Leviticus 20:10; Deuteronomy 22:22). Deuteronomy 24:1-4 defines the Old Testament reasons for divorce other than adultery. Therefore, this unjustly divorced woman in Matthew 5:31-32 was stigmatized as an adultress because her unjust husband did not give her a written divorce document, but simply dismissed her. Jesus was teaching the necessity of the husband giving his innocent wife a written certificate of divorce in order to prevent such a stigma from coming upon her. Any man who would marry such an innocent though stigmatized woman would take upon herself the stigma of her undeserved,but stigmatized status.

@@cherylswanson7234 have we become dead to the law or are we still under the law?

To Karen Mountain---Both Mark (10:11-12) & Luke 16:18) emphasis was based upon the result of a scripturally illegal divorce, while Matthew (5:31-32; 19:9) simply identified promiscuity as grounds for a legal divorce. All 3 writers spoke strongly against illegal divorce. They were referring exclusively to what was illegal in the sight of God, certainly not in the sight of men! They were unanimous in saying that scripturally illegal divorce is tantamount to adultery. To insist that the above passages Christ was deliberately setting aside Mosaic Law and establishing a new divorce commandment for the entire human race is to ignore His very nature and teachings. To teach that Christ was removing hardheartedness, enslavement, domestic religious persecution, sexual abandonment, mental cruelty, physical abuse, and lovelessness as grounds for divorce is to miss His point entirely! If this was actually the case, then there remains absolutely no grounds for divorce except for sexual infidelity---Whereby wife and child abuse and incest are to be tolerated! (God Forbid!) What is more, as untenable as that position is, it would also mean that sexual relationships are more important in the sight of God than are spiritual, moral, ethical, or physcial issues. May it never be! Mark, in the passage above remembered that Jesus had also mentioned that a woman could institute divorce. Therefore, to declare that sexual promiscuity is the sole ground for a legal divorce in God's eyes is also to say that the wife must endure physical beatings, mental cruelty, broken communication, lovelessness, etc., and even total sexual abandonment, she must never file for divorce. (May it never be!) However, if the man who has treated her, as thus, deprived her of a meaningful sexual experiences for years, suddenly has a sexual relationship with another woman, may she then immediately file for divorce that has now become scriptural? Such a ridiculous interpretation of our Lord's words and is obviously unscriptural! Christ has compassion for the woman above, as well as for the woman in John 8:3-11, who was taken in the very act of adultery. Also the Samaritan woman in John 4:5-45 is recorded. How could Jesus show this kind of compassion for two fallen women and at the same time have set a standard for divorce that would have put women into hopeless bondage to cruelty, persecution, and abuse without an acceptable way out in the sight of God? The Divine Provision for Divorce under the Mosaic Law---It may come as a shock to some who have not read through the Bible that God himself arranged for and in some instances commanded divorce! God prescribed specific procedures regarding divorce. But to understand them, one must also understand the basic position, rights, and privileges extended to women under the law of Moses. It's a positive step to understand God's regulations for divorce in the Old Testament to gain a better understanding of His similiar rules in the New Testament. Remember, adultery was not considered grounds for divorce because it was punishable by immediate death. I thank the Lord He came to set us free in the New Testament Christians now live under. He is a loving God. Unfortunately, literally hundreds of cases, a tragic divorce situation has been further aggravated by cruel, bigoted, and unscripturally judgmental treatment on the part of other professing Christians. Your statement of divorcing/remarrying that the church is teaching on "sexual immorality" is extremely off base with the scriptures. Your other statement of "Most" churches accept same sex-marriage tells me you don't attend many churches out there. Most churches do not condone same sex-marriages. Many churches have split over this issue. I've heard the old saying to love the sinner, not the sin. All are welcomed. We all are sinners, yet we are not suppose to engage in any sin that the Bible teaches against. AGAIN, I'M GLAD HE IS THE JUDGE AND NOT PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD. MANY PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE SAME LOVE IN THEIR HEART AS JESUS DOES. They continue to judge & condemn. They look at the label, the "D" for divorce on their sleeve, instead of looking at them as regular people and themselves as the sinner that they are. For all has fallen short to the Glory seat of God. I have been sadly discriminated against in applying for a job at a Christian school. Yet, the married woman who watches porn at night while she thinks her children are asleep, gets hired. Go figure! Can't judge a book by it's cover. My sons saw me in tears waiting in the car after the job interview. I was asked by the principal to apply. She didn't know the Superintendent was truly a bigot. Days later, he had to hand my son a 'Student of the Month" award, voted by the teachers based on his character. We as divorced parents stood behind my son, as the Superintendent had to eat crow and hand him the award. God did that. We as divorced parents raised some aweome boys, leaders in Christ. Yes, God hates divorce. I don't recommend it. It's the worse hurt I have ever been thru my entire life. I can attest Divorce, supercedes most pains. It's a death of life-long dream unfulfilled. No one can say they've walked in your shoes. No one needs to know your story for God already does. I'll close by saying, I felt Jesus's arms wrap around me at church one night when a man walked up to the podium to confess his sins. God was telling me I see the other side of my story, stop punishing myself. I am free to remarry if I so chose. God knows my heart, He knows my story, He's my Judge. I love my Lord. AMEN! Why would I want to be with any man who didn't love me like Christ loves the Church? Maybe thats why I'm still single. I'm fine with that. He's my husband and not many men can even come close to that.

Why do I have to wait until my ex-husband dies to remary?

[@nursesteve2004]

The legalists on here would have you believe that....they would have you belive that if you were in your 90's and your ex- was still out ther, and you wanted to marry the man who lives in the room next to you in the nursing home, that someone somewhere is going to say "UH UH! You know what Jesus said.....if you marry, you're committing adultery!" Somehow I just cannot bring myself to believe that this is what God intended.

[@kingdomman4100]

If marriage is indissoluble now it would have been indissoluble in the old testament as well because God not only joins marriages in the new testament but he joined them in the old as well. Jesus was addressing a heart issue. The standard has been the same from the beginning. Man and woman joined till death. You can't argue that. But to say you can't remarry isn't biblical
