It is confusing in the world, and in churches, because people cannot read the Bible and Simply BELIEVE. By accepting what the world and the enemy says about all this, people give the enemy power in their lives and bring much harm and perhaps curses on themselves and their families and their friends and their acquintances and those in league with them (i.e. their churches (if the church goes along with the enemy also) , and any other group they be in that goes along with the enemy) . So, RETURN to SCRIPTURE, fully, whole-heartedly, completely, no matter the cost. Jesus is not only WORTHY, He requires this. So... I have been asking God to show me clearly about divorce and remarriage. It had to make some kind of sense as God knows we need to understand many things and he would not have left this understanding so unattainable for all of us. Marriage and Divorce has been around since Moses time at least. So God knows it's a big deal to us. I have asked God to show me if I would ever be able to be remarried as I don't want to wrong Him any further than I already have. What I feel he has shown me is this... I am not sure if my first marriage was a real marriage because my husband cheated on his first wife and left her. Later we met and he married me... but his ex wife didn't remarry for another 10 years. I was already married to him so I am assuming that means I was committing adultery when I married him and that's probably why my marriage wasn't blessed. Then, I divorced him. He has since remarried even though I was trying to reconcile the marriage when he remarried. I tried several times to get back together because I felt I had really done wrong. But, he would not and he remarried. So, at this point he has committed adultery against me by being remarried. I am now free to marry because of that. If he had never remarried I guess I would still be bound by marriage vows to him. I am not sure why I never got this before, but I was stuck on the part that I had made him sin by marrying another woman. God does not make things so complicated that we cannot figure out... we just have to listen to His spirit. This is where I feel God has led me in this journey of discovery. I hope I will still be welcome here if I ever do decide to remarry... Please let me know where you all stand on this so I know if I should go or stay. Thank you! joseph, I don't think every situation is easy to figure out, but if people entered marriage with the knowledge of what Jesus said, and divorce was not an option, it would make things simple. For better or worse, in sickness and in health, till death do us part, used to mean something. People are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge. Today, we have so many broken homes, and people have been so disobedient to the Bible, there is a mess to clean up. Each case is different. Every time I think I have heard it all, I hear of a scenario that is unique.

We have couples who are members in good standing in church in their 3rd or 4th marriages, and the ministers don't even tell people divorce is wrong. Divorce no longer has any stigma. Preachers haven't been doing their jobs, and couples don't even know they sinned. We have to get a handle on this.

Preachers haven't been doing their jobs, and couples don't even know they sinned. We have to get a handle on this. yes for sure and for certain divorce is wrong . but do you know what is big time wrong . ADULTEROUS REMARRIAGE . THEY need to be teaching not to put away that wife or the wife to put away her husband . And if one does , THEY ARE FLAT OUT NOT FREE to REMARRY save for fornication or death . PEROID . Let us keep it identical to how JESUS said it . Even paul spoke on it . He said if it did happen and they were separated , Either be reconciled back to that HUSBAND or DONT MARRY PEROID ANYONE ELSE . Save for , if the spouse dies , OF course one is free to remarry , OR if fornication was involved . The WORDS of JESUS cannot be altered , or changed . He is our LORD and as such LET OUR LOVING OBEDIANCE to all HE DID TEACH , BE SEEN IN OUR OBEDIANCE unto HIM . In case any man think this is too hard or a burden , let me show us and exopse that mindset . I have lived free in the LORD now as a single man for many , many years . For when i first read what JESUS said concerning remarriage , I simply loved and embraced it , KNOWING FULL WELL i could never remarry SO long as my wife does live . And my friend , DO I SEEM DEPRESSED , DO I SEEM as though this is some depressing burden i cannot bear , NOPE . FOR AS JESUS SAID , HAPPY IS THE ONE WHO DOES HEAR AND DO MY SAYINGS . MY peace , my joy and happiness , my hope abounds . And all by grace , that i did not twist HIS SAYING , but rather LIVED and do LIVE IT . ALL JOY MY FRIEND . FOR THE LORD is in control of the reigns of the heart . AND ALL who DO HIS SAYINGS , HE REJOICES THIER REIGNS . In fact , ITS TIME TO PRAISE HIM YET AGAIN . SO HANDS UP MY FRIEND . HANDS UP and let the LORD be praised .
