Will divorcees who don't repent the sin of divorce burn in Hell when they die?

Answer 1

The Catholic Church believes that God does not recognize civil divorces.

"Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." (Mark 10:9)

Just being divorced is not a sin. In fact someone may wind up being divorced without even wanting to.

The sin of adultery comes in if a divorced person (who is still married in the eyes of God) has sex with someone other than their spouse.

However there may be hope of a declarations of nullity.

The term "annulment" is a misnomer because the Church does not undo or erase a marriage bond.

Rather the Church issues a declaration of nullity when it discovers that the parties were not truly joined by God and hence a full spiritual sacramental marriage as understood by the Church was not present.

Then the parties are free to marry for the first time.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

I'll give you the Biblical answer. Divorce is not a sin. Moses allowed it as Jesus acknowledged, though Jesus reflected the strict view in the Hillel versus Shammai debate of his day that sexual sin was the only legitimate grounds as opposed to simply wanting out. Paul went further and allowed it for spousal abandonment. If you divorce without cause and marry another, according to Jesus and Paul, you commit adultery and make your partner an adulterer, and you cannot afterwards divorce your new mate and return to the old one as that is an abomination. But the right of remarriage of divorcees has other wise always been recognized. The distortion we have today results largely from a mistranslation by St. Jerome in translating the Greek word for "mystery" (mysterium) as "sacrament" (sacramentum). Paul was talking of the mystery of Christ as husband of the church, not that marriage was a means of grace which is patently absurd since heathen marry all the time. God hates divorce says the prophet. He also hates shellfish, but Moses laid out a divorce procedure but never did okay shrimp.

I know in many churches they still treat divorce as an unforgivable sin that dooms both parties but they are more than willing to sing Hosannas when a murderer confesses Christ, even though the scripture plainly says no murderer will enter heaven. Some churches even in the case of a constant adulterer that repeatedly abandons the family and beats his wife and children nearly to death still forbid divorce and remarriage of the injured party. That has no basis in either Judaism or NT Christianity. It's an aberration invented by priestly eunuchs and pietists. The Christian has a heavy duty to their spouse, but it is not unlimited. If as the scripture says, "God has called us to peace" that has to count at some point. The divorce grounds of adultery that Jesus acknowledged assumes that any convenant of marriage is broken by unfaithfulness and the two are no longer one because a spouse has already joined with someone else, and since adultery carried a death penalty by stoning, and there is no law forbidding widows to marry, the notion of forbidding a betrayed spouse to marry makes no sense under Jewish law by any rabbinical standard of any day.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Divorcees will only burn in the hell of monetary means.

Answer 5

All sin is the same. All are like filthy rags, if I remember correctly! Your sin is no better or worse in God's eyes than anyone else's. Consequences for our actions on earth can be different, but sin is sin. Do the best you can, love your God, and don't live life in fear all the time. God doesn't want you to be scared all the time! We were created for more than that.

Answer 6

Hell as a place of firey torment is a lie. Revelation says that Satan has been thrown down to the earth where he is causing "Woe to the earth" including divorce, etc. Worry first about what is happening now and quit letting Satan influence your behavior so that it conflicts with the good things that God wants for you.

Answer 7

Divorce sometimes happens and it's nobody's fault. Sometimes two people just can't get along. Especially if there is violence in the marriage, it would be considered a sin to divorce. God would not expect you to stay in a marriage that is filled with discord and violence.

Answer 8

repent the sin of divorce? God will forgive you of all your sins you don't have to name them he already knows. But God hates sin and getting a divorce for adultery is not a sin but you cannot keep getting married and divorce

Answer 9

First of all. You or nobody will find where divorce is a sin. hear me? Now. You think what you want to and read in the Bible anything you want to read into it. A lot of people sadly enough do. There is no place in that book that even remotley suggests divorce is a sin.
IF, you feel it is, then sin is forgiven by grace. prayer..

Good Question.
