Thanks very much Bishop for the insight.

Thank you for keeping it real. And explaining how the Bible talks about marriage.

[@TheOneDana]

Never heard it explained quite like this! Thank you.

Such a clear explanation based on the Word!

The Bible is very clear in Luke 16:18. Jesus said that. Even if God does allow divorce, the only place for a person to get remarried is if their spouse dies. Even if Paul says the believing spouse is not bound to the unbeliving spouse if divorce occurs. Please tell me where it says that spouse is free to remarry? Even if you can divorce for those two reasons, please tell me where in the Bible it says you can remarry. Are you not supposed to remain unmarried if you divorce? Seems like something was left out in the video. Also, 1 Cor 7:10, Paul is saying not I but the Lord, if a wife separates from her husband, she must remain unmarried and a husband must not divorce his wife. Again, I ask please provide scripture that supports remarriage other than if your spouse dies. Just because someone is no longer bound, does that allow remarriage? If so, then why would Jesus mention adultery in Luke 16:18. The scriptures do not contradict themseves. This walk is not always easy abd some things might be hard to accept in the Bible. You can't tell me that God blesses these second, third, etc. marriages when His word is very clear. We can't ignore it to fit our own agenda. Luke 16:18 cleary answers the question. That’s what Jesus said. You can't interpret that any other way. He made it very plain.

I am in agreement with you that scripture is clear that remarriage while the former spouse is alive is forbidden. Any argument to the contrary is not in alignment with the Word of God. ‭ Matthew 5:32 LSB‬ [32] but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.” (Mark 10:11-12) I think that it is possible for the Lord to bless the second marriage still. If, for example, unbelievers divorce, marry other people, then come to the Lord. With repentance, I believe the Lord can bless that marriage. Or would we recommend that after coming to the Lord they divorce the second spouse, too? I don't think so. I think they must remain in the second marriage, repent, and trust in the Lord's mercy as He can make beauty out of messy situation. I am, however, very concerned with the believer who divorces and then remarries despite knowing the Word. They are clearly walking in disobedience in that case.
