Most Christians Won’t Accept This Teaching on Divorce, But It’s Biblical | Church Gone Wild #12

I never wanted a divorce. But I could not stop my ex wife from having multiple affairs and exiting the marriage. It was the most painful experience in my life. However, there was beauty in the suffering and my relationship with God reached new levels because of it

Same here. I had all biblical grounds for divorce and didn't want it, but he didn't want to honor the marriage and abandoned me again. It was dark and traumatic, but the Lord was with me the whole time and He provided for me to support my kids and myself afterward. He's been so good to me before, during and after the divorce... and once I let it go, I met an amazing man at church.

Very solid teaching. My wife and I went through a separation until we both realized that neither one of us had grounds for divorce, so we reconciled. We realized it was the best decision when we saw the change in our kids. Their demeanor, their kindness, and their willingness to share what was on their hearts. God reinforced that one strand that held us together, and for that, we are eternally blessed

Currently going through a separation and I wanted to know y'all's reasons if you don't mind sharing. My husband has denied the faith after seven years and asked for a divorce, but has changed his mind but still wants separation and I'm so confused. He stays with his parents and stays the night sometimes . He says his reasons were for being un happy , sprung it on me after our 7 year anniversary . He's very confused and in turn that's left me very confused. I want reconciliation but he he wants to leave as devastating as it'd be I'll let go because I don't deserve to be in limbo for who knows how long

My wife left and gave me the kids 11 years ago. I entertained the idea of remarrying, but after dating only twice, I realized I have an impeccable ability to attract women that seem sweet and innocent until several months into the relationship, when their true colors start to emerge. This has been EVERY woman I’ve ever dated. I’ve been to therapy over it, and 2 separate therapists came to the conclusion that because I’m soft spoken and emotionally sensitive, I’m a target for women whom seek control and see me as a naive pushover that won’t notice or be confrontational if they’re being unfaithful. Covert narcissists to be specific. I took this as God’s way of saying He won’t bless any further attempts at marriage. I was devastated at first, but now I’m living for God like never before and more than happy to stay single for the remainder of my life. My point is, even if you have a legit reason to be divorced, it doesn’t mean you have to remarry. Sometimes God doesn’t allow us to pursue the same path as our remarried neighbors. If that’s the case, stick around, because He has something else in mind for you.

Don’t look for a husband. Look for friends. You might find one who’s worth the risk. Or you might have the gift of singleness. Don’t let fear of divorce turn into an anti-idol. If you do escalate a friendship to beau to husband, fear can turn you into a possessive, controlling, suspicious, miserable wife. You should listen to the Focus on the Family podcasts about marriage. Get the right image in your mind before it’s needed.

I can only speak for myself, but my biggest regret in my recent unwanted divorce is signing anything or participating in any fashion in something this exceedingly wicked. As a man, I caved to the fear of having my girls largely taken away from me if I did a no-contest divorce. Even though I didn't hire a lawyer to represent me and gave away my home, money, possessions, I would do anything for the chance to go back and take my signature off that cursed document, no matter the cost. I'm assuming by your name that you are a woman, and if that is the case and you have children you probably don't have to worry about losing them at least. Regardless, I would have immense admiration for you or anyone else that did a no-contest divorce based on your Godly convictions. Be well Brooke.

Divorce and remarriage are sins, and God will never contradict His word! There are no grounds for divorce, God hates divorce and He said no man should separate what He has brought together. Divorce also leads people to commit remarriage adultery, please repent from this teaching, divorce doesn’t give anyone the freedom to remarry, it just means they are free from being obliged to remain married. Being born again doesn’t give anyone the freedom to remarry because marriage is not a sin, being born again means you repent and become an obedient saint from being a sinner, if you commit wilful sin you will still account for it before God if you don’t stop sinning and repent. Being born again doesn’t mean we are no longer our earthly parent’s children, or parents to our children, so how can being born again mean you’re free to stop being someone’s lawfully wedded spouse before God’s eyes who joined you as one? Lord Jesus Christ said except for reasons of fornication NOT adultery, this man is very crafty and manipulative with words, repent! 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.” Matthew 19:6 “Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” Matthew 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.” Romans 7:3 “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.”

Thank you so much for this message. I was married to my wife for seven years. During those years she chose to find romantic interests outside of our marriage many times. I reconciled to stay in and attempt to heal my marriage through all of this but she then decided to leave me after her last affair. All of this began after we stopped attending church and living in the word I have been struggling with the idea of divorcing her because of my personal beliefs towards marriage. Since our separation of over a year. I have resumed attending church and studying the word. Messages such as these have really helped in allowing me to understand the decision I have had to make and to deepen my connection with our savior and the path that he has chosen for me. God Bless and thank you for all of your wonderful content brother!

[@markhorton3994]

The only reason a Christian may initiate divorce is infidelity. But in telling Christians that they may accept divorce from a non believer the Bible says that staying together may benefit the spouse and any children. Only you, your wife and God know your situation. Try to do what God wants. Your pastor might be able to help.

I can't think of a Biblical reason for you to not be allowed to be married again. Infidelity kills a marriage, and even though God can heal that, she chose to leave. Death allows for new beginning, just like if she passed away. It couldn't hurt to fast and pray about it. God cares, don't forget that💝✌️🙏

It’s not that black and white. Just as killing/murder are not always the same. Or a non virgin marrying is allowed. Unbelievers are not joined by God. If one of them becomes a believer THEN the marriage is at least sanctified-if they are pleased to dwell! Marriage is not joined by God unless they are believers. He has never made covenants with unbelievers. It’s obviously foolishness because if he did then he would be even marriages that are done in evil like Satanists.,

[@fonelo2215]

Is it according to your revelation or according to scriptures,the only unpardonable sin is very clear in the scripture that is to speak against the Holy Spirit,therefore your revelation is false. If it's unpardonable why Jesus said one cannot divorce unless in the matter of udultry? and Paul talked about desertion if one spouse decide to leave the other is no longer bound to that marriage. When you have been lucky not to go through what others have gone through in marriage you will speak to make others to feel like loosers or sinners. Udultry and desertion are conditions for biblical divorce.

@@fonelo2215 Violence would be considered divorcible, after which, both parties can get remarried. Obviously, if one remains violent, that one is not saved. But the other one is free to remarry.

@@CountryFriedCreations Yes - and I've answered this in a bit more depth elsewhere - if you can find it! However, I'll do my best, but it will have to be brief - no disrespect. I think you're quoting the NIV, but do you find it interesting that it doesn't say 'adultery' twice? Greek is a very precise language, and the the Greek word moichos and it's derivatives are always translated as the English word 'adultery.' So, contrary to the false teaching in this video, Jesus is not saying "except for adultery" - and in fact the Geek translation of what He did say is 'porneia' which doesn't mean "marital unfaithfulness' - that would be adultery (moichos). The KJV does better translating it as 'fornication' which is a sin only single people can commit, and the Amplified does better saying 'unchastity.' So, to understand what Jesus was referring to you have to understand the Jewish betrothal ritual, and in short it's where a woman is unfaithful between the drinking of the covenant cup and the consummation, which could be a long time - it's referred to in Deuteronomy 22 as 'she played the harlot while still in her father's house.' This exception doesn't apply to gentiles, which is why it's mentioned in Matthew, but not in Mark or Luke. However, remarriage after divorce was still adultery - read Romans 7 - and Paul was a Jewish scholar. However, it's also possible to prove that if Erasmus hadn't deliberately meddled with the text, it would read "not even for porneia" rather than "except for." I know this is a bit muddled - I'm tired and I need to sleep - but I hope it helps - God bless!

The Bible is clear the only way to Remarry is if the Spouse dies. I have a playlist of over 400 studies on this from many Pastors and teachers on this. The main church is Lukewarm and won't listen to Jesus on this. Pay attention to his words. It's his opinion not biblical. Even if someone divorces, the Bible mentions no where at all in any scriptures you can remarry unless the Spouse dies.

[@HopeLives2012]

There is difference between forgiveness only and staying in what Jesus calls adultery. You cannot stay in adultery just because you confessed the Sin. The second part is repentance. Example: you cannot steal something, keep it, ask God to forgive you and not return item. In Divorce, yes you are forgiven but Remarriage is adultery if you had no grounds biblically for Divorce. I also go a step further since Jesus never quantified Remarriage if.... He said, ",Whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery". So Divorce is forgivable but marrying again with first spouse still alive(Covenant Spouse) is still adultery. I know this from experience. I had to Divorce 2nd Spouse based on Remarriage scriptures. It's not easy but you cannot keep what is not yours.💓

[@avdouglass3]

@@HopeLives2012 This is absolutely unsound, poor doctrine that has been crippling professing Christians for years. Marriage being indissoluble is rooted in Catholicism and certainly is NOT biblical. Once you get legally divorced (whether biblically justified or not), you are no longer in covenant with that person. Period. You referenced Jesus's teaching on divorce in Matthew's gospel (chptrs 5 &19). Jesus is clearly condemning those who divorce their spouses (in this specific context, Jewish men divorcing their wives) frivolously. Additionally, he is explaining the damage it would cause to the woman who would be stigmatized as an adulterer. Anyone that married her would also be unfairly stigmatized as an adulterer. What does this mean practically? Unjust divorces. or divorces period, have a ripple effect, affecting the innocent spouse, kids, family members, friends, future relationships, etc. Yet, God is perfectly just, merciful, gracious, and loving. If one acknowledges his sin and repents, God forgives. And that includes divorce. How silly is it to compare theft to marriage? In elementary terms, theft is bad. It is sinful. Marriage, on the other hand, is good. It is a beautiful gift from our God. With that being said, can you mess up a good thing, repent, and still be eligible for that good thing? Absolutely. Ever read the parable of the Prodigal Son? Lastly, to think one must divorce from their current spouse in order to retain salvation is absurd, sinful, and unbiblical. This is taught no where in scripture. It rather demonstrates lack of faith in the works and personhood of Jesus Christ. Remember, He is the sole reason why any of us can be saved at all. Let's not add our works to His as means for salvation lest we be in blatant, dangerous error.

Telling Him, "Jesus, are You willing for me and my husband to be in this situation in the future, where I will be yoked with a non believer?". So, weeks passed and God did a miracle, He allowed a "negative situation" upon my husband which forced him to seek God's face. In the end, both of us were baptized on the same day/time.

Divorce and remarriage are sins, and God will never contradict His word! There are no grounds for divorce, God hates divorce and He said no man should separate what He has brought together. Divorce also leads people to commit remarriage adultery, please repent from this teaching, divorce doesn’t give anyone the freedom to remarry, it just means they are free from being obliged to remain married. Being born again doesn’t give anyone the freedom to remarry because marriage is not a sin, being born again means you repent and become an obedient saint from being a sinner, if you commit wilful sin you will still account for it before God if you don’t stop sinning and repent. Being born again doesn’t mean we are no longer our earthly parent’s children, or parents to our children, so how can being born again mean you’re free to stop being someone’s lawfully wedded spouse before God’s eyes who joined you as one? Lord Jesus Christ said except for reasons of fornication NOT adultery, this man is very crafty and manipulative with words, repent! 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.” Matthew 19:6 “Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” Matthew 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.” Romans 7:3 “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.”

I just went back to work even though I am not 100% because he says that he checked out of our marriage a long time a go and I will have to fend for myself. In a way, I am relieved that he wants to leave because we have been struggling the entire 13 years that we have been married and quite frankly, I'm tired.

I kept forgiving years of abuse (intermittently there was the love bombing which may have been his lame attempt at an apology). During this time, I actually won an argument and felt awful for several days. If there’s a winner, then there’s a loser. All these 32 years, he wanted me to be the loser. I realized that he didn’t love me (“husbands, love your wives the way Christ loves the Church). I left him and never looked back. He never asked me if I was coming back and he never asked me to come back. He started dating within four months after I left. Subsequently, he remarried. I have dated over the years.

Regardless of any teaching on any biblical passage concerning divorce and remarriage, consider the actual vows you made before a Holy God in the presence of witnesses. This includes not only your marriage vows, but also the commitments you made in raising your children together in the Lord when you had them dedicated in front of the church.

The only thing I could add is that marriage is a very difficult thing to succeed in. This is exactly what the disciples said to Jesus after his teaching on marriage and divorce. Feelings change, looks change, faithfulness changes, life's situations change...and you made vows before God. Notice that Paul also commented on the difficulty of remarriage ...especially trying to blend families. "Such will have troubles in this life...but I spare you" said Paul. Remarriage under the right conditions is not condemned by God...but neither is it easier. That's why I like Allen's emphasis on "working" on your marriage and trying to "work it out"...I believe that's what God wants because he wants both spouses to turn to him and he will help change what needs changing...that's what God wants to do in all of us, married or not.

Idk why I’m even going to spew this out…..I was a heroin addict/stripper/sex work and was also abused as a young girl. I got clean at 21, but I was still a mess. I believed in Christ, I got baptized, I went to church, believed with my whole heart, bible study, I felt God move in my life. It was AWESOME!!! Then……I met a guy. And I was fixated on getting married. I knew I shouldn’t, I had that alarm in my gut going off. But “I want what I want”. Had my first baby, lost my mind after. Then had an affair. Quit my job, reconciled. Had another baby and went off the deep end again. More affairs, like a sex addict. Because of the deep spiritual pain that put me in. I picked up heroin again, and continued to shoot dope for 8 years after being clean for 9 years. 😢HOW AWFUL!! Selling. Drugs, doing drugs and some sex work. Please don’t think I’m disgusting. Well, I guess I was. FINALLY got sober again PRAISE GOD!! Oh lord, I thought I was gonna DIE!! Overdosed twice with paramedics and narcan. Met a man, fell in love, got pregnant right away, had two babies. Instead of losing my mind this time I STAYED sober!! I want to remarry. I know, my order is all messed up. I said to myself, I got a new life AGAIN!! How good is god to me?! But idk what to do. I want to get married but I also don’t want to be living in a continuous state of sin. I feel like I have a new life and should continue moving forward. Stop looking back. I have a long healing process ahead of me and hate myself for all the terrible things I’ve done. I NEVER EVER want to be that person again. EVER. I probably shouldn’t have said all that. But it’s real and it happened. Can you please say a prayer for me and my children? Thank you.

Two months old but cannot bypass this. Prayers for you, friend. You have repented. God has made you clean. You aren't what you once were. Rather, you are a new creation and that is what the Father sees. He is a perfect Father who loves you completely and only wants good for you. He can give you the desires of your heart when you surrender to Him. I believe He can give you a joyous union and help you raise those babies in Him.

Thanks Allen. Please pray for me you all! I had a really nasty heart towards my (now ex wife) and now we are divorced. She is a non believer now, and I have idolized marriage before. I wanted to divorce her, but tried to (reluctantly) reconcile with her out of obligation, and now I have the opportunity to marry a believer, but my conscience feels condemned because of my past divorce and my unGodly heart behind it. I'd appreciate your prayers for a clear conscience and a God honoring re-marriage!

[@ricksonora6656]

It’s good to clear your conscience. Things to consider: The rules about divorce are applications of the Great Commandments: Thou shalt love…. Have you shared the gospel and your conversion with the ex? There may be options that, later, you’d regret shutting the door on. Have you identified and taken responsibility for anything you might have contributed to the conflict? If you haven’t, you risk repetition.

Marriage is a covenant between God and the man/wife ... There is absolutely nothing negative about the covenant or institution when properly understood and practiced. What we Christians usually teach today is more of a covenant between a husband and a wife, but that's not a covenant, that's just the vows / agreements between each other, the covenant is our agreement to accept God's terms for marriage (his law/command/instructions/rules/structure) and to not end or break it unless for the very few specific reasons he gives.

Very good teaching and this is exactly what I was always taught. Can you talk about how a single, never married person should view marrying someone who is divorced under these different scenarios? This is an issue that many singles, especially older singles, are faced with when dating.

[@godgavemeeyestosee]

If a married man or married woman who are in a covenant marriage divorce for any reason AND remarry, they are committing adultery. If anyone marries a divorced man or woman, who has a living covenant spouse, he or she is also committing adultery. -- Matthew 19:9, Mark 10:11-12, Luke 16:18 and Romans 7:2-3 Stay clear of divorced people who have a living covenant spouse. If you have never been married or your covenant spouse has died, you may marry a never-married person or someone whose covenant spouse has died. If you marry anyone else, you will be committing adultery. Adultery will prevent you from inheriting the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and Galatians 5:19-21).

[@NarnianLady]

@Sasha373 I am in the same boat. Not that I ever really dated a divorced man.. but I have come across a few who claimed to be Christians. My experience had been that they enjoy the attention and the ego boost, but for a serious relationship they only wanted a divorced woman.. who supposedly knows it all in the bedroom and has 'proven' her femininity by having kids. It is tragicomical that I have been told I should not limit my options, but be open to a divorced man.. well, I have tried, and it did not end well at all.. the problem is that they do not seem to be open to a single never married woman. Still trusting God to send me a kind man who has not been sleeping around or married before..

I got divorced many years ago. I tried everything possible to save the marriage. Prayed went to church and tried to be more loving to my ex husband. My ex husband when we were dating he was a “good man” and he said he was a Christian. Once we got married he completely changed. He rarely went to church with me, became controlling and was abusive. I left my ex husband with two small babies after he put his hands on my neck trying to choke me. He refused couple counseling. He blamed me that everything was my fault. My ex husband is a narcissist and so is his mom. My MIL was the worse evil person. My ex husband has been married 3 times. I have only been once. I’m open to remarriage if God has that as part of my life. I truly think emotional, mental, verbal and physical abuse should be talked about in churches and Christian counseling.

[@mikemiddleton53]

Thank you brother Parr, your ministry is a great help too me. I have been in three marriages; the first ended in divorce because I was involved in an adulterous affair (we did not invite God into our relationship); the second because she was in an affair (God was not included in this relationship either)... I am currently in my third marriage which we entered into a few years after the Lord saved me in 2015. I have been happily married for three years to a beautiful child of God... Praise the Lord!

[@godgavemeeyestosee]

If your first marriage was to a never-married woman, then that is your covenant marriage if she is still alive. If she is still alive, that makes your current marriage an adulterous marriage (Mark 10:11-12 and Luke 16:18). No adulterers will inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and Galatians 5:19-21). If you are in an adulterous marriage, God can forgive you if you confess your sin of adultery to Him AND forsake it (Proverbs 28:13). You cannot continue in sin and expect God to forgive you. So many people enter marriages that Jesus calls adultery because the churches have failed to teach the truth about divorce and remarriage. If the churches would do what is right, many would be spared the pain from having to get out of adulterous marriages because they would not have entered them in the first place. I found out that I was in an adulterous marriage because the Lord lead me to study the scriptures about divorce and remarriage. I made the extremely painful decision to get out of my 20+ years of adultery because I want to please and obey Jesus. I have never regret my decision. To follow Jesus is not always easy. In fact, Matthew 7:14 NKJV says it is difficult -- "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." I pray that you are truly willing to follow Jesus, even when the way gets difficult.

[@godgavemeeyestosee]

@@michaelalbertson7457 You have read the truth and it is up to you to believe it or not. Nothing in scripture says that you have to be saved in order to be in a covenant marriage. If there is such a scripture, please provide it because I have not found it. If you have read the Bible from Genesis through Revelation, you will not find one verse to support that only saved people can be in a covenant marriage. I pray that you truly seek the one and only true and Holy God who does not violate the covenant He made with His people, but many people violate their end of the covenant. When people, who are in a covenant marriage, divorce and remarry, they violate their marriage covenant. In Matthew 19:8 and Mark 10:5-6, Jesus said that from the beginning when God instituted marriage there was no divorce. Then Jesus made a new commandment, “Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate (Matthew 19:6 and Mark 10:9).” Jesus clearly demonstrated that He was abolishing the practice of divorce and remarriage that Moses permitted under the Old Testament. It is incredulous and so very unfortunate that many believe that a Holy God will approve of them doing something that He told them not to do and that God would actually make an exception for them to do what He just forbade them to do. Jesus said do not separate a covenant marriage and it does not matter if the husband or wife or anyone else does the separating. Also, God hates divorce, so why do people believe that He will give His stamp of approval on something that He hates. If God is giving His permission for people to divorce and remarry like people say He is doing, then He is a fickle God who says one thing and contradicts Himself by doing another. That is NOT the God of the Bible because He does not lie and neither is He fickle. God hates divorce from a covenant marriage (Malachi 2:13-16) and He did not make any provisions for people to divorce their covenant spouses. We know this is true because Jesus said that Moses (Not God) permitted the Jewish men to divorce their wives because the men had hard hearts (Matthew 19:8 and Mark 10:5). Notice that Jesus said Moses, NOT God, wrote the precept for divorce. Because people today have hard hearts, they interpret what Jesus said about Moses writing the divorce law, to mean that it was God, Himself, who wrote it. This is a blatant disregard and disbelief regarding what Jesus said. Jesus is God and He NEVER lies. In addition, because God did not stop the people from doing what they already wanted to do, people have taken this as God condoning divorce and remarriage. People believe that God allows them to divorce and remarry, despite what Jesus said about it, because that is what they want to do, and so, that is what they believe. God was simply not intervening to stop the Jewish men from divorcing their wives and He was not intervening to stop both the husbands and wives from remarrying. If God approved of the divorces and remarriages, then why would the wives be defiled (Deuteronomy 24:1-4)? The answer is that God did not approve of them. When God approves of something, then whoever does what He approves of is never called defiled. God not intervening is not a sign of His approval. Those Jewish people had free will just like the people today have free will and God has always allowed people to exercise their free will even if it leads to their destruction. In the case of divorce and remarriage which is adultery, people who divorce and remarry will go to hell if they do not repent and forsake their adulterous marriages. All who divorce their covenant spouses and remarry commit adultery (Matthew 19:9, Mark 10:11-12, Luke 16:18 and Romans 7:2-3). Only death breaks the marriage covenant which would then allow the surviving spouses to remarry if they choose (Romans 7:2-3 an 1 Corinthians 7:39). If you truly study all the scriptures in the Bible regarding adultery, fornication, divorce, marriage and remarriage, and if you truly seek God for the truth, you will find it. Instead, many go by what they have heard from their pastors, preachers, teachers, friends and whoever else and they believe what they are told without truly studying the Bible for themselves and going to God for the answer. The majority of people are not like the Bereans when it comes to digging into the word of God. At one time, I used to be that kind of person, but not any more. I previously did not make a diligent effort to study the Bible, but now I am digging deep into the scriptures to find the truth. I am responsible for my own soul and I cannot leave that responsibility to anyone else because my eternal destiny depends on it. I hope that you will take full responsibility for finding the truth for yourself, so that you can make it into the kingdom of God. Right now, you believe that one can divorce and remarry while the covenant spouse is still alive. Believing that and practicing it will not lead you to God's kingdom because adultery is a sin that prevents it. No adulterers have eternal life if they do not repent and forsake their adultery (Galatians 5:19-21 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-11). That is the word of God.

Sometimes he would get physical with her. For the record my mom held a full time job sometimes two jobs at a time to make sure we survived. My father had absolutely no desire of counseling or fixing anything, and made mom severely depressed that she had enough. So one day she kicked him out.

Spent weeks in prayer and advice to diplomatically tell her the implications of her desertion but felt it was God's will for this to happen. Looking back, I don't disagree. There's a distinction between PERMISSIBLE and BENEFICIAL will. I believe He permitted this to happen since her separation from me, making her the the unfaithful one.

Grocery Grip, Your God is my God. Those other 2 commenters, they have a different god, one who doesn't understand what truly goes on, who doesn't see our hearts. I feel pity for those 2. They need to be saved. They need God's love.

The woman at the well was married 4x so obviously God identified those marriages whether there was adultary involved or not. There are def grounds for divorce and re marriage after adultary as the marriage covenant has already been broken.

Just wanted to share to my fellow brothers & sisters. Divorce is complex. It is not always straight forward and easily explained, unless you have endured it personally. It's a challenge to understand and heal from. Even still, sin is sin and we owe no explanation to Pharisees or swine. Take time to place yourself before God, His Word, His Spirit and understand what He wants to say to you about your divorce or separation. Thank God that He knows, forgives and loves inspite of it all. Whether you've divorced, lied, done witchcraft, gossiped, been immoral or commited any other sin. No one may cast a stone or act holier than though because they didnt "do what you did". God is faithful, true and gracious to His beloved. Keep His goodness before you and you can't stay down.

True, but divorce is not a sin. Although what leads to divorce is sin (adultery, abuse, etc.).

@@em77775 Such a simple statement of truth. Praise God !

With most people walking away from marriage (especially my generation) and the divorce rates being so high I don't know how the wedding industry is still even a thing, but I digress. 🤷🏾‍♀

Buy Issuing the Divine Restraining Orders from the courts of Heaven by Francis Myles. There are prayers there, one of them addresses marriage

[@linoornano4585]

Great video and the explanation is clear. I like how you summarize it "God wants to bless your marriage". Let us share that with the world.
