If you divorce for reasons other than abuse, adultery, or desertification have you commited a mortal sin?

Answer 1

Yes. Marriage should be taken seriously so you should try to work it out. Divorce is the easy way out...

Answer 2

All sins are mortal sins.....there is no "level" system for sins. If you lie, you commit a sin just as grievous as if you murder someone. If a man looks at a woman and lusts after her, he has commited adultery already.

Now, if you divorce for any other reason than 'FORNICATION" it is a sin. There is no other reason given for a divorce.

I have no idea what desertification is. If you are being abused, then you should have the man arrested.

Marriages that start out by relationships going right to having sex together start out in sin. How can you expect the rest of the marriage to be "good," if the foundation is sin? You need to get back on the right track by finding out what a husband and wife are supposed to be to each other and work from there. Completely turning away from your sins, asking for forgiveness, getting both the husband and wife into a Bible-teaching church body, and both putting their marriage and their lives right with God would be the very first step.

If you are obedient in these things, God will bless and heal your marriage. If you are being obedient and if you are staying in the Word together, then your spouses won't be violent towards you--they will love you "as Christ loves his church."

You are both one unit. If either of you hurts the other, you hurt yourself and destroy trust. Stop trying to find a way out and start trying to fix the problems of the marriage.

Answer 3

The bible doesnt say divorce because of abuse or anything, except for adultery. Whoever comits adultery, their spouse is allowed to remary once divorced and if a married couple gets divorced and one is unsaved, the saved one is allowed to re-marry. But the catholic church teaches mortal sins and there is no such thing cause you dont find it in Gods word, but just in the cathecism of the catholic church. Im telling you right now, this mortal sin and anathema, petence, is all scare tatics they use to scare people. Anathema is biblical but not the way the catholic church uses it.

Answer 4

nope sometimes things just don't work out between people. Things happen but if you want to make sure you get to heaven on this subject just ask Jesus to forgive you of this sin and if you are very honest with him and yourself on this matter he will forgive you and you can go on your merry way. But in a lot of these divorce cases I find that people who divorced has divorced for at least one of those three reasons or all three. So there is a tire with one of these three or all three factors in regard to your question. Divorce is not an easy subject to deal with and the factors surrounding a Divorce of a couple aren't easy to figure out.

Answer 5

NO. Biblically, the only unforgivable sin is Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit...Total denial of Him. Athiests, perfect example.

Jesus came for the forgiveness of our sins. We're human, and we continue to sin, even as Christians. He goes to the father before we've even had time to ask for forgiveness on our behalf, when we do sin. Although it's not a license to sin, we are forgiven if we repent and ask for forgiveness.

People say, as is common in wedding vows, "What God has joined together, let no man put asunder (separate)". However, I believe that most couples have NOT consulted God, looked for His will, etc. before marrying. Just because they are married "before" God, does that mean the marriage is necessarily "of" God?

Read in the New Testament, and you will find that Blasphemy is the only "mortal" or unforgivable sin.

Answer 6

Jesus gives adultery as the only justifiable reason for divorce. I think also, later in the books of the new testament, desertion (by the unbelieving spouse) is also included.

Otherwise, yes, it is a sin to get a divorce. By the way, it's one I committed, and God forgave me when I repented of it. However, the bible does state this: "a woman is not to leave her husband, but if she does, she is to remain unmarried...."

So I will.

Answer 7

No. There are no mortal sins. Where do people come up with this stuff? The churches grant divorces.

The Old Testament lists a lot of rules and the commandments, but when Jesus came he died for our sins. All you have to do is believe in Jesus.

Answer 8

I think Roman Catholics use this term for a certain set of sins. The bad news is that the Bible simply calls divorce under such circumstances a sin. The good news is that all sins (besides non-belief) can be forgiven.

Answer 9

This is simple nonsense that should be filed among other stories about cows jumping over the moon, and dishes that run away with spoons.

Do what you need to do to have a peacful fullfilling life. Don't worry about nonsense that was dreamed up to keep women subservent barefoot and pregnant.
This is not Gods goal for women.

Love and blessings

Answer 10

Thanks For You Question :)

But Whyyy ? why is it a mortal sin I mean where is the loving of God if he denies you the right to be divorced ....I mean sometimes humans take wrong decisions in their life plus God never ever prohibited divorce in the Bible .

And by the way I'm a Muslim and the women had the right to divorce herself plus she doesn't have to work or pay anything in the house if she wants so

Answer 11

I am not totally sure, I wanna say yes. Thankfully, God is so forgiving and merciful that if a mistake so major as that was to happen He will forgive you anyway. Not to say just go around marrying and getting devorced at the drop of a dime but S happens, life happens and sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Hope I've been helpful!!!
