If you get a divorce?

Question

The bible is against divorce I know, unless you was cheated on. I got divorce because I was beat many time by my husband, and I got a divorce, I know God has forgiven me for this, but is it a sin if I get remarried, since I divorced him?

I have read The KING JAMES Bible on it and I am still confussed.

This is a serious question to me..

I thought I had to stay single and not re marry...

Answer 1

Only if you believe the Bible. 1 Corinthians 7:11, "But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband 11 (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife." Of course not many today put much stock in the Bible.

Answer 2

If God forgave you for the first sin why not the second sin, or the third, or the fourth. Heck sin it up, he will forgive you you have good reason for everything. This is the problem with God. He gives you a book tells you what is a sin, but you think, because you have good reason (and you did!), he forgives you. In other words you believe the Bible is law when it works for you, but when it doesn't ... its just a suggestion. Look, the Bible is a book written by men to to control the actions of others. See how its used to control you. Their is no God, just people. Free yourself from the shackles of your religion. Do what works for you. Do what will make you happy. Take credit and responsibility for your life. Don't give your power it to anyone else, real or imagined. Good luck! No God, no problem.

Answer 3

DIVORCE AND SEPARATION Most of you, say you believe in Jesus, but the problem is, many of you do not want to obey what He & the Writers of the Bible tell you.

"We may claim to love God, but how we react to what his inspired Word, the Bible, teaches will reveal our true thoughts, even the very intentions of the heart." In other words, you have your on thoughts on the matter, & heck with what the Bible says. But I'm going to take the time to explain what the Scriptures say about Divorce & Remarriage.

God, the Originator of marriage, designed it to be a permanent union. But is there any Scriptural reason for a person to divorce his or her mate—and one that would allow for the possibility of remarrying? Jesus addressed this matter by declaring: “I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.” (Matthew 19:9) Sexual infidelity by a mate is the only ground for a divorce that will allow the innocent mate to remarry.

In addition, the Bible’s words at 1 Corinthians 7:10-16, while encouraging marriage mates to stay together, allow for separation. Some, after trying very hard to preserve their marriage, feel they have no choice but to separate. What can be acceptable Scriptural grounds for such a step?

One is willful nonsupport. When getting married, a husband assumes the responsibility of providing for his wife and children. The man who willfully fails to provide the material necessities of life “has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith.” (1 Timothy 5:8) So separation is possible.

Another is extreme physical abuse. So then, if a mate physically abuses his wife, the victim may separate. (Galatians 5:19-21; Titus 1:7) “Anyone loving violence [God’s] soul certainly hates.”—Psalm 11:5.

Another ground for separation is the absolute endangerment of a believer’s spirituality—one’s relationship with God. When a mate’s opposition, perhaps including physical restraint, has made it impossible to pursue true worship and has imperiled the believer’s spirituality, then some believers have found it necessary to separate.—Matthew 22:37; Acts 5:27-32.

However, if divorce is pursued under such circumstances, one would not be free to enter a new marriage. According to the Bible, the only legitimate ground for divorce that permits remarriage is adultery or “fornication.”—Matthew 5:32.

The Bible allows only one reason for getting a divorce that frees a person to remarry, and that is fornication (Greek, porneia, gross sexual immorality). If fornication is committed, then the innocent mate may decide whether to get a divorce or not.—Matthew 5:32.

After telling the Pharisees that the Mosaic concession of divorcing their wives was not the arrangement that had prevailed “from the beginning,” Jesus said: “I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.” (Mt 19:8, 9)

Answer 4

Remarriage is a sin.

Being beaten is not grounds for divorce, nor are women authorized to file for divorce. If God wanted you to be single he would have killed your husband. In which case, you would be a widow and you could marry his brother.

But, you cannot remarry. so sayeth the bible.


The reason you can't understand it is because you aren't recognizing that when the bible was invented, women were property and had no rights. Under biblical doctrine, your status is the same as a family pet.

And you have no rights one way or another. If we were living under biblical law, you wouldn't be divorced. And, being beaten wouldn't be any big deal.

Answer 5

Depending on what religion you belong to, and I'm guessing your not Catholic because you mentioned the King James version of the Bible, seek out a clergy person/minister and talk it over with him or her.
I don't think that it will be a problem since you were beaten while you were married. Who actually gets married under their own free will so that their husband can beat them? NO One does.

I know in the Catholic Church you would have to get your marriage annulled before you can get married again.

Answer 6

The Bible says that you must remain single. No, that doesn't mean you can have a boyfriend.

I suspect you will do what you want in spite of the Bibles clear teaching, but then, I would do the same. Just remember that you are acting against Gods will, and be ready to pay the price for it.

Answer 7

Divorce is only on the grounds of adultery. However, if your ex has slept w/ another woman since your divorce, then you are free to remarry b/c sex even after a divorce is still considered adultery. Also, if your husband was physically or menatally abusing you, you have every right to divorce that loser!

Answer 8

That is a major Catholic Church belief as well as most of the Christians denominations.

I do know that if you are rich and famous, you can get a five-year marriage or more or less ended by annulment by the Pope himself.

Are you rich and/or famous? Are you a Catholic?

You're right though, I do not think God blames you for wanting to stop being treated the way you were. Also, maybe he was unfaithful and committed adultery but you just didn't know about it.

You have more important things to worry about now.

Answer 9

It depends. I know many people that believe a divorced woman should stay divorce unless her husband had died. But I think it is better to remarry if you fall in love with someone again. Besides, it's better to marry than to burn with lust.

Answer 10

You had every right to get a divorce, I cant say for you to remarry. I did and felt guilty, I knew it wasn't the unpardonable sin, anyway I feel fine now and we have been married 16 years.
