The problems being pointed out with marriage after divorce are biblical. This podcast is biblical. That is a problem objectively. We can all look in the mirror and face our own problems and not name call or point out other peoples problems, however, God calls for forgiveness and reconciliation. Jesus calls to remain single if you are unmarried or widowed but if you have a burning passion in your heart you can remarry but how do you know if the unfaithful or non believer will be saved? Whether by you or by God in the future to come? It is because the person who is sinning and going against Gods word hasn’t taken the time to heal and find the word and asked God inside their spirit to heal so they can help fix their family. Bitterness, wrath and unforgiveness will not only keep a person in bondage from God but will keep their family separated. No matter which way you look at it, when God isn’t in the picture, nor is safety and wisdom. I understand why people are talking about Gods design of marriage and family because it is the main foundation of this planet. It is the core of what our planet is developed on in humanity. Divorce and remarriage is devastating no matter how you look at it. The truth is, God knows the truth in the hearts of the prideful.

The divorce and remarriage for adultery doctrine is based solely on the supposed guilt of the wife in Matthew 5:32, and Matthew 19:9. However, the wife in Matthew 5:31-32 is clearly not guilty of fornication because the Jews that Jesus was speaking to were still living under the law, and if fornication was discovered, there was a moral obligation to report the offender according to Deuteronomy 22:13-24. The wife, who would have been found guilty of fornication, was subsequently stoned to death, according to the law, which had still governed the Jews up until Christ's death on the cross. The same for a woman caught in adultery, according to Leviticus 20:10. How could a wife, guilty of fornication, or adultery, under the law of Moses, be given a writing of divorcement and be caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her, that is divorced? Jesus is clear, in these examples, that the wife is not guilty of fornication, but is still caused to commit adultery if she marries another man now that she is divorced. This is the only way that Matthew 5:31-32, and Matthew 19:9 keep harmony with Romans 7:2-3, and 1 Corinthians 7:39. Please use wisdom when living in any situation against what the scriptures command. The ancient Jews called the betrothed (engaged) "husband" and "wife" according to Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Matthew 1:18-25, and Luke 2:5-7. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage) was never for fornication or adultery. Allowing those guilty of fornication and adultery to remain living and become a prospect for remarriage was against the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22:13-24 and Leviticus 20:10, which commanded that those who were found guilty of fornication and adultery be put away from Israel, and stoned to death. The law of Moses was not given to the world, only to the Jews. From the exodus, to Christ's death on the cross, the law of Moses governed the Jewish people. But when Jesus died on the cross, he caused the Jews to be dead to the law of Moses so they could be joined to Christ under a New Covenant. This is what Jesus's fulfillment of the law of Moses, including Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage), means. Paul gave several warnings to Christian believers against keeping the law of Moses over following Christ and his commands under the New Covenant with Christ. Keeping the whole law is no longer possible for those in Israel and that is why Christ prophesied that the temple would be destroyed. These scriptures make it clear that if you choose the law over Christ, that you must keep the whole law: Romans 7:4, Galatians 3:1-9, Galatians 3:10-29, Galatians 4:1-7, Galatians 4:21-31, and Galatians 5:1-15. The phrase "sexual immorality" being used in Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9, in place of "fornication", creates conflict with what is written about fornication and adultery in Hosea 4:13-14, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, and Galatians 5:19-21. Being unequally yoked to unbelievers is not a cause for divorce, once two become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, according to 1 Corinthians 7:12-14. Many one-flesh covenant marriages between unbelievers are recognized by God in the scriptures, most notably the marriage covenants between Herodias and King Herod's brother Philip, Potiphar and his wife, Ahab and Jezebel, and Ruth to her deceased husband Mahlon by Boaz when he took her to be his wife. Some are teaching that 1 Corinthians 7:15 implies that those who are abandoned by the unbeliever, are "no longer bound" in a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The reason this is in conflict is due to the way they word it, which gives it an entirely different meaning, and context. 1 Corinthians 7:15, says, "15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace." As you can see, the actual scripture says "not under bondage," which means that the husband or wife is not enslaved to sin with the unbelieving spouse, and is free to worship Christ in peace. Subsequent translations have changed the words to imply that they nullify the marriage covenant, when this is not at all the case. The issue that this creates is with 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, which says, "10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife." As you can see, those who claim 1 Corinthians 7:15 has the Apostle Paul giving permission to remarry do not understand that the abandoned husband in 1 Corinthians 7:11 is expected to also remain unmarried, in order to be reconciled with his wife. The theory that 1 Corinthians 7:15 nullifies two as being one-flesh in marriage puts the Apostle Paul directly at odds with Christ, by implying that he has issued an opposing command only four scriptures later. The other false claim that is being widely used is that 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 is referring to a divorced man and a virgin woman who has never been married. This has been taught for some time in churches as to refer to anyone who is not currently in a marriage, including the divorced. This is a very false assumption, and puts these verses in a different context that is at odds with both the teachings of Christ and of Paul. We see Paul refer to virgins, which signifies the unmarried who have never before been wed, which is the proper context here. We see Paul saying clearly that it is good for virgins, which is also speaking to never before wed men here, "that it is good for a man so to be." He goes on to say, "Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife." Who is he referring to here? Men who, like himself, have never married. The word "bound" in these verses is a clear reference to betrothal (engagement) and not to marriage. The ancient Jews were considered bound as husband and wife during the betrothal (espousal/engagement) before becoming one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, through consummation. This is affirmed by the context of the term "bound" seen in Numbers 30:3-7. The Jewish couples in ancient Israel who were betrothed (engaged) were also bound together until death either by execution for fornication, or by other causes. Then Paul says, "But and if thou marry, thou has not sinned", which is who? The men who had never married in the congregation at Corinth. So he begins with the first two verses, speaking exclusively to men that have never married. If they were married, they were bound to a wife, but if they never betrothed or married, or if they were widowed, they were not bound. Paul then says, "and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned", which is speaking directly about virgin women, who have never been married, within the congregation, not divorced women. Notice that verse 34 says, "There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband." Paul speaks plainly when he says "there is a difference between a wife and a virgin." Paul goes on to say, "But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry." This is again speaking of a single, never before wed man, of youthful age, with a virgin bride who has become of age to bear children "let them marry." Paul then says, "Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well." This is referring to the man who decides it is better not to marry, but to stay betrothed (engaged) to his wife, under the present distress, by saying that he "hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin." Paul then says, "So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better", which means that those among the never before wed in the congregation do well if they choose to marry their betrothed virgin, and those who are also never before married do better if they choose not to, under the current climate. For proper context of the word "bound", let's look further down in this chapter to verse 39, which says, "39The 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 7:39). For so long, these scriptures, between verses 25-38, have been twisted and used to enable divorce and remarriage, by wayward churches and teachers, and have caused many to stumble and to be trapped in unlawful unions. The use of the woman at the well, in regard to marriage, falsely implies that Christ was endorsing remarriage after a divorce. This teaching is in defiance of Matthew 22:23-28, which shows a woman who had been widowed seven times, and entered into each subsequent marriage without any scriptural conflicts with God's law of marriage (one-flesh covenant) seen in Genesis 2:23-24. Mark 10:1-12 is the same biblical record of Matthew 19:1-12, which both record Christ's teaching that day beyond the Jordan. There is no mention of the words "fornication", "writing of divorcement", or "divorced" in Mark's Gospel, because Mark was not written to the Jews (as Matthew's Gospel was), but to evangelize the Romans and Greeks, who had no knowledge of the law in Deuteronomy 22 or Deuteronomy 24. All of these facts draw a clear understanding that remarriage after a divorce, under the New Covenant with Christ, is a scripturally false and baseless teaching.

[@ajlouviere202]

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with this man and woman claiming that Christ is involved in this unbiblical and adulterous union. This is the result of many christs and many gospels being preached, beginning within the last 500 years, but especially within the last 50 years. The enemy is a master at deception and is causing many people to fall. So many people will watch this video and believe it is God bringing two other people together as one-flesh after becoming one-flesh with their true one-flesh covenant spouses in their first marriage, which is the husband or wife of their youth. These people will be judged righteously by God for ignoring the scriptures where Christ clearly states that those who marry someone who is divorced commits adultery.

[@ajlouviere202]

Most people who teach that Matthew's gospel provides an allowance to remarry after a divorce later discover that Mark 10:1-12, is the same biblical account as Matthew 19:1-12, without any exception. This is easily explained by the fact that Matthew's gospel was the first gospel account, and it was given to the house of Israel, as Paul clearly states in Romans 1:16. When we understand that Jesus was speaking directly to the Jews, and that they were following the law in Deuteronomy 22:13-21, we understand the nature of the exception in both of these verses in Matthew. We also understand that Jesus is making a reference to a woman who was called a wife during betrothal (Deuteronomy 22:13-21, Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Luke 2:5-7), and after she has become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage (Genesis 2:23-24, Malachi 2:12-16, Matthew 19:4-8, Mark 10:3-9), in Matthew 5:31-32 and Matthew 19:9. This is the only time we witness all 8 of the New Testament scriptures, that govern this topic, maintain harmony with one another. Jesus was clearly making a reference to wife, who unless she comitted fornication during betrothal (Deuteronomy 22:13-21), which would have resulted in her being stoned to death, is now a divorced wife being caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her. It was an abomination before God to allow an adulteress, and the man found with her, to remain living (Deuteronomy 22:22, Leviticus 20:10) and be given a bill of divorce in order to remarry. When the adulteress was brought before Jesus she was already found guilty. The Pharisees wanted to see if Jesus would forgive her sin, or have her stoned to death according to the law. As the scriptures reveal there were men of all ages, with stones in hand, prepared to render judgment against the woman, but first they would seek Jesus's opinion. The Pharisees believed they were in a win-win situation. If Jesus said that they should have the woman stoned to death, according to the law, then the Pharisees could claim that the ruling authority was the law and not Christ, but if Jesus offered her a reprieve, in the form of forgiveness, then they could claim that Jesus was a blasphemer who claims to have the same authority as God the Father. We see that here in John 8:3-6, which says, "3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him." When we stand in judgment of someone else's sin, which we are also guilty of, we will face the Lord on judgment day. This goes for all unrepentant sin, but especially the sin of judgment. By forgiving our accusers, and abusers, we aviod standing accused of our own abuses before the judgement seat of Christ.

I’m worried about dating if my wife dovorved me.. my wife had an affair and I’m trying to save our marriage but she seems check out. I have alotnto offer and I’m surprised at what she did but I don’t want to date and meet anyone else as I don’t know if I can love someone else as I loved my wife. Her brothers both divorced after their wives had affairs and left , but they met new people and remarried and are really happy

[@garrimic3]

It’s always been scriptural to save your marriage and forgive, forgive and forgive so much more. People just lack mercy and grace. Plain and simple. Going through a divorce myself (16years) and I have not committed adultery. She hasn’t either as far as I know. Just mercy and grace is actually lacking in her. That’s all there is to it. I have confessed my sins to her several times. I have told her myself multiple times I don’t want a divorce, but what can we do? If someone wants it then God lets them, but at a price of course. God always requires a payment if we break a vow. Deuteronomy 23:21 KJV [21] When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. Just hold up your end of the so called deal with God.

[@two2girlsmomma]

My husband cheated on me two years ago and I forgave him and have been trying to work on myself to see what I contributed to him stepping outside of our marriage. I don't beat myself up though and I have forgiven myself and I thought I was doing so much better. He didn't receive my changes and filed for divorce two months ago. We are now officially divorced today. It saddens me that a "Christian" man would do something he clearly knows is wrong and told me so. Like you I kept thinking I don't want to date and meet anyone else but I'm now at a point where I have done all I can do with him. I'm working on me and I will continue to grow and pray and seek God for His desire for me. I am stronger now more than ever. You must get to a point where you let go. Work on yourself, love yourself, put up boundaries and should your wife want you back, then you will know what behavior you will not tolerate. You can forgive but trust must be gained back again. She will have to become transparent in her daily life with you so you can rebuild your trust in her if you wish to. The bottom line is be the person she fell in love with and don't be a doormat. If that doesn't work, time to move on and find a great woman that loves God and you. Believe me they're out there.

[@garrimic3]

Tony Rowan .... As I have stated and shown scripture to back up my statements. If the other spouse commits adultery then the offended spouse has a Biblical right to divorce and marry another. Matthew 19:8-9 KJV [8] He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. [9] And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. However... It is best to save the marriage if possible, because forgiveness in marriage represents Christ and the Church. How is what I say nonsense? It’s as Biblically base as possible.

[@oluwaseunmabinuori98]

Herakles I feel absolute trust shouldn’t be over-emphasized in a relationship, smartness is also very important. There’s a popular saying that “don’t trust too much because that too much might hurt you so much”. My greatest disappointment was discovering my husband cheating on me through the help of Cyberhackingsage who helped cloned his cellphone and i was able to read all his messages and uncover my husband’s infidelity without having to touch his phone. All i did was share my husband’s number with Cyberhackingsage and i got access to his Facebook, whatsApp and text messages both deleted and incoming ones with a remote link on my phone. Thanks to that Genius, now i have enough evidence for my divorce. You can contact him ( cyberhackingsage@gmail )Text/Call/WhatsApp him on [phone]. Thank me later.

[@garrimic3]

Tony Rowan ... at the end of the day... What we do as individuals is what matters most.. If someone is abusive then I agree with separation. Even separation until the other commits the sin that gives a right for divorce. Scripture does say to remain unmarried or reconcile. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 KJV [10] And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: [11] But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. Again... You are not required to be around an abusing spouse. If the abusing spouse does not want to change then separate. Wait till you have a right so you don’t sin against the Lord. Do what is right even though the other spouse chooses not to. May God Bless.

There is so much problems with blended families because blended families go against the structure of family foundation. Which is why the world is the way it is because it shows children that it is okay to break up a family for reasons of your own and do not have the integrity to heal and not put yourself first but put your marriage above yourself and God above your marriage. Make sure this marriage is your last marriage? Selfish people doing what is best for themselves and their own emotions. God has grace to heal a lot and get through the storm. Weak and selfish humans are the reason the world is the way it is. This podcast speaking on this being okay is clear that they care more about themselves and being happy over being holy. More interested on being non-committed and start a new family and destroy everyone in your path then being committed, have integrity and learn that love is yo live and is an act. This podcast is an example of selfishness.

[@TimGun87]

Not that this is not possible as people obviously do it, but rather why do people who say they follow Christ do this when its says in multiple places in the New Testament that anyone who marries after divorce is committing adultery as well as the person that marries them is committing adultery? and nowhere is scripture does it mention marriage after divorce, only after the death of one of the spouses. and then on top of that Hebrews 10:26 says if you deliberately go on sinning after gaining knowledge of the truth then there is no more sacrifice for that sin, as you're essentially spitting on Christs sacrifice. so basically God will allow a divorce only for sexual immorality, but Marriage is a 3 fold covenant and while we make break our covenant God never will, and as such no marriage after divorce. even Paul in the Timothy tells the widows young and old to remarry but mentions no divorced people ever as it is stated previously that it’s adultery.

[@blacklivity]

mtoi.org/divorce-remarriage-and-putting-away/ Highly recommend you watch this to really understand divorce and remarriage from a Hebrew perspective instead of a man-made doctrinal interpretation.

[@garrimic3]

Because we as sin people rationalize sin. Yet claim mercy and grace. Romans 6:1-2 KJV [1] What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? [2] God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Jesus Christ himself tells us that we are not suppose to divorce except it be fornication/adultery per the law. Not what should be since the beginning. The lack of forgiveness in people is astonishing to me. Matthew 18....

[@TimGun87]

@@deborahg2619 This is definitely interesting and gives a lot of good celerity on portions, however He barely mentions the passages in Mark, and never mentions Luke which do not even have the Clauses for divorce but rather simply say marrying a divorced person is adultery, period, the end. and also seems to fill in some blanks with assumptions, rather than scriptural proof, as he is only really talking about the ability to divorce which is indeed scripturally sound, however Remarriage is mentioned precisely nowhere in the Bible not even once, and like the man even says you have to look to other parts of the Bible to make good interpretations of other parts, and the same goes for this instance, as nowhere in the bible is remarriage mentioned as anything except adultery, so it stands to reason that this is because it's adultery and thus a sin, as again Paul in Timothy tells widows to go get remarried but never those who are divorced.

[@StereoFozzie]

What would god think about my situation? Married a girl who was divorced 3 years ago. I met her 6 years ago as her marriage ended, and she assured me it was nothing to do with me. Just after we married, she drunkenly admitted she’d left her ex husband for me. She demanded I appreciate she’d done it. I left, and divorced although I feel the marriage was grounded entirely on her lie, and just a result of adultery. So what does it mean for me if I remarry? (albeit with far more care in the future)

[@garrimic3]

Deuteronomy 23:21 KJV [21] When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. People look at salvation as a way to just live as they want. What ever happened to us Christians. Followers of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:1-2 KJV [1] What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? [2] God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? My wife who is about to divorce me, because of the lack of mercy and grace told me personally. “If I divorce you then God will just forgive me.” Seriously... ???? Have I done anything that would give her permission for a divorce? Absolutely not. I have not been with another woman. I have also confessed my sins to her. (Matthew 18) God requires payment for breaking vows.

So let's get this straight. #1. To marry is to become one flesh #2. Divorce for fornication is when the wife has become one flesh with a man before she has become one flesh with her husband #3. Once a woman is defiled she can't return to her husband. #4. You should take a wife before you marry her. #5. A woman not divorced for fornication is bound to her husband as long as he lives. #6. Paul speaking to the Corinthians concerning fornication in 1COR.7 when he gets to the married his topic is divorce. #7. The only reason to divorce and Marry another is fornication of the wife before the marriage. #8. When we rightly divide the word there is no conflict.

The son will learn 75% of everything in life within family in their home from their mother and father. 25% from schoolmates and people in society. It’s true in family life as children spend their time growing in a family and it is in scripture that what “you” teach your children growing up will stay close to them as they leave their home. It is not something a child has to learn for themselves if you teach them at a you g enough age and get your act straight and stop focusing on yourself and your money, job and hobbies for long enough to realize that your children are getting past the threshold of being in tune with Gods word, morality and how to invite God into their lives. If that stage gets missed, Fortnite, Videogames, society driven interests outside the home will shape your child and you will have a challenge pruning that seed that has been planted from society. At that point, you are preparing your children for entering their lives to hit wall after wall until they find the Gospel on their own.

Anyone who marries a person who divorce commit in a sin....

[@TL-zn8pp]

Listen to man or to the Word of God "Jesus".... What the Bible says.... Many of you are wondering what are the grounds of divorce and remarriage... Moses gave the certificate of divorce for the hardness of man's heart but individuals were not permitted to remarry. Divorce and remarriage is only permitted through death or fornication Not adultery/sexual immorality( Read the most accurate translation KJV). These are two different words(definitions). Fornication is sex before marriage, Adultery is sex outside your marriage. In those days a man was under the assumption that he was marrying a virgin. A nurse would stand outside the tent with a towel as they consummated(had sex) the marriage, if blood was not present and the female hymen was not broken she was found not to be a virgin. Because he married her under false pretense he was allowed to divorce her and remarry. Anyone else who divorces there spouse is to remain single or reconciled back to there spouse if they haven't remarried. If they enter into another relationship they are living in Adultery... Matt 5:32-But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Matt 19:9- And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. Mark 10-12-And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. Luke 16:18-Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband committeth adultery. 1Cor 7:39-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. But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

you may as well throw out that old Bible, because it is so judgemental....and restrictive.....

[@whathappenedwas7083]

Actually it is liberating if understood and not twisted into fitting a denomination. The savior came to have a personal relationship with us, to reconcile us into the covenant believers broke at mount Sinai. Even men have made laws and have judges over them, they are intended to keep a society civil and punish wrong doing. You must think of a parent, they make rules and the child does not always understand or agree with them. These rules usually are to protect and shape a good moral character in the kids. And punishment is given to correct some behaviors. Are they evil and judgmental and restrictive? Certainly not. Also it always is curious to see how many unbelievers go out of their way to listen to Bible based videos and then to disparage others and encourage them to lose their faith. Pretty sad.

I understand why you say this. Especially if your tone of message is sarcasm and what you really mean is Dave & Ashley Willis are sharing false gospel and message here. This is worldly talk on this podcast. There is no God here or scripture.

I thought this was a Christian couple who hosted this KZbin channel on marriage. Which part of "God hates divorce" is not self-evident or clear enough from the Bible, in addition to the scores of other scripture in which we clearly see God's attitude toward divorce? We're in the world but not part of it. Doing as the world does makes us just like the world, and "Christian" in name only, deceiving ourselves. Sorry, I unsubscribed!

After much study--and trying to see through the lens of God's desire for marriage--I still don't know whether remarriage is a biblical option. If a spouse has died, remarriage is clearly allowed. Beyond that...?

[@MilesWithMitzi]

Chris D2015 Actually God does allow divorce for three reasons; abuse, infidelity, and/or the spouse does not have faith themselves. Look it up and research Divorce Care ran through churches.

[@ChrisD-lz6py]

Can you give me the scriptures supporting your 3 escape clauses?

[@ChrisD-lz6py]

Tony: I fully agree. God's Word is clear. Anything different is a distorted gospel and many "Divorce Care" services from churches support that false gospel. Part biblical and part worldly, being lukewarm. So sad.

God hates Sin. Have you never sinned? You hypocrite

Luke 16:18 - Jesus says “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery." 1 Corinthians 6:9 - Adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.

[@philipbuckley759]

sounds like adultery.......

[@Seekdnb]

Agreed. I can no longer listen to Dave & Ashley Willis if this is the false doctrine they are sharing.

[@mq3177]

Remarriage is not in scripture. A Christian has 3 options after divorce..remain single and serve God like Paul, reconcile with your covenant spouse, or remarry ONLY when your covenant spouse dies. Remarriage is continually living in adultery...which is the opposite of repentance

[@philarevolutionarywarriorp8295]

Amen. The only 3 biblical options.. I pray for humbleness, forgiveness, repentance and finally Restoration for all Covenant marriages. May The Lord see it done. ✝️

[@philipbuckley759]

@Jt Abda Jesus did something interesting....but I say, unto you.....he changed the rules....so anyone in this era is bound to their first covenant spouse.....

[@ashjade86]

I’m separated from my husband. He is my first husband and I am his second wife. He married his first wife when they were young and out of rebellion toward her parents. They were married about a month. We are in the process of divorcing because of it being a very toxic relationship. I believe we are unequally yoked. His first wife is still living. Are we considered married, in your opinion?

[@jasmineprieto8350]

Well it is by GODS grace our sins are forgiven we are not under the law anymore it is by his grace

[@philipbuckley759]

@Jt Abda it was a different dispensation....
