With the question of can---Yes. With the question of should- no.
True Christians are devoted followers of Christ, but they can make mistakes. Divorce is talked about in the Bible as a sin, but as a human "TRUE Christians" can still choose to sin. My answer is yes you can become divorced and remarry as a Christian-- though I would not recommend it.

If we are to take Jesus at his nature, he's about a fluid church that responds to the needs of the people when the Bible or Laws are ridgid.

I wonder what Jesus would do in today's world.

Back then there were reasons for no divorce. It meant mostly a husband couldn't desert a woman or leave her in dire needs arbitraily.

We must also ask are both Husband and Wife religious. If so, there truly should be no need for divorce. If both are truly Christian then there should be no irreoncilable differences.

If you find yourself making a habit out of marrying and divorcing, then you need to reexamine your faith and understanding of things. A continual basis for this is no different than sleeping around any never marrying.

Is that Christian behavior!

Are there extreme situations where a divorce is truly the best thing. Maybe. I've seen some such situations.

I once again stress that is BOTH members were Christian I can't truly see how it could happen.

I also keep asking myself does a parent divorce a child?

Ultimately you're going to have to find your own answers to this one.

I find myself taking the side of gay rights, because of the fact of predestination and I also can't see Jesus condeming them. The saying isn't Jesus loves some of you, it's Jesus Love You.

I guess he can even love divorced people.

Make better choices, everyone. Maybe everyone needs to have like 5 year old courtships and you should spend lots of time with the other person doing things like taking out the trash, cleaning up and learning what is expected of you by the other person in all areas except sex. I'm not even sure if kissing should be allowed!

Now, girls and guys, spend 5 years without hugs, kisses or sex getting to know the other peson before you go to the alter before God to make "til death do you part, better or worse" vows!

A true Christian can do just about anything because you are a Christian not because you make yourself a Christian; but because God saves you. Once you belong to Him; He says He holds you in his hand and nothing can snatch you out. The question should be, "should a Christian get divorced and remarried?" I'll tell you; I studied this years ago and found that good Christian theologians are divided on how to interprete different passages in the Bible. My suggestion would be to study the scriptures for yourself and see a good Christian counselor to help walk you through the whatever your going through.

Can they? Sure. Is it right? No. The bible is very specific when it comes to divorce. A divorced and remarried person is committing adultery, that's what the bible says. The bible also says that God is able and willing to forgive us our sins. That's not a loophole. Sin is sin, period. God in His wisdom and grace can and does forgive us so that we can continue in our relationship with Him. If the 1st marriage didn't work out and you enter into a 2nd marriage, by all means necessary make it work! Remember that as humans we are ALL flawed individuals, just because you want a marriage to work but if your spouse isn't willing, it makes it very hard. God hates divorce. Marriage is a symbolic parallel of the relationship between the church ( born again believers) and Jesus Christ. This is an issue that has hurt the feelings of many in the church but the Bible is the Bible. Just remember we live in the age of grace and not the law. Those that adhere to legalism will no doubt try to guilt you or worse. Pray for them and live in the joy of knowing you're forgiven.

I believe that they can if the person ask for forgiveness .There are reasons in the bible how they can be let out of being married.In this day and age most people get married to quick or live with each other before time and living together and marriage is two different things..Many people get married to unbelievers and that is a hard thing to live through.I believe that you can get married again and still be a true christian.We all sin and fall short of the glory of GOD.If we confess our sins,he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.I don't know the whole deal with this marriage per-say but,what i do know is that when you confess you sins are so far to the east and the west that God can not see them.He is a God of many chances.He made us with free will he new we were going to make bad choices in life.That is why Jesus was sent to take care of our mistakes.The only thing that will keep you out of heaven is rejecting god's plan of eternal salvation.If you are a christian and have received Jesus as your lord and savior all you need to do is ask for forgiveness.God commandith his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners,Christ died for us.....all our sins

No, beause the marriage was established by Christ, broken of that marriage itself is a violation against christianity, remarriage is totally against christ,s commands. But in real world physiological, psychological and social reasons overlooking the affiniation with the christ and creates problem in the Christian society and code of conduct. Catholics are more bounded with the religion than protestants, hence it depends on the sub religious codes. I am an aetheist.

No, not in my opinion. Although many supposed "True Christians" would say otherwise, because they asked for forgiveness.
