Will a divorcee burn in Hell if he/she gets remarried and doesn't repent the remarriage?

Answer 1

Only if they are Catholic.

Answer 2

You figure it out:

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)


Marriage involves two people with differing personalities learning to develop common interests and working together toward common goals. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, not a casual agreement that can be lightly abandoned. In many countries, divorce is not difficult to obtain, but in the eyes of a Christian, the marriage relationship is sacred. It is ended only for a very serious reason. (Matt. 19:9) Christian spouses can avail themselves of wise counsel from the Bible, support from fellow Christians, and a close, prayerful relationship with God. A successful marriage endures, and over the years, it brings happiness and contentment to husband and wife. More important, it brings honor to God, the Originator of marriage.

Answer 3

Marriage in God's eyes is different from our perspective. Not all marriages are blessed by God even if a so-called priest, pastor, notary, judge or whatever performed the ceremony.

A true marriage is based on a true and solid commitment.....how many marriages performed today have such a basis.

Pregnent at 15, wants that beautiful gown and big wedding, the sex is great, blau, blau, blau.... In these or various situations God is not the priority of your vows (even if it is, it may not be his or hers). God in his goodness, because He knows our weakness, is not there
and surely a good God would not sentence anyone to a life of abuse, heartbreak or pain.

It takes two to make that commitment and if one or the other has no intention of keeping it when the passion is gone, children come, the bills arive or some more exciting man or women arrives on the scene.

No, our God is not so hard-nosed as mere mortals would try to convince.

NO, DIVORCED PEOPLE ARE NOT CONDEMNED TO DAMNATION!

Answer 4

I myself have a little bit of problem with the divorce in the bible. I know that Jesus said that you are allow to break you marriage off if there has been adultery, but, there are soooooo many marriages out there that get divorce because they have abusive spouses, where one of them is been emotionally, physically and morally abused. My personal opinion is that all that is ground for divorce, God did not bring anybody to this world to be attached to someone "Until death do us apart" who's making your life a living hell by the way they treat you, they might no be cheating on you, (but you probably wish they do tho). So, base on all that and the love of God I don't believe that somebody who has a legit reason to get a divorce will burn in hell, that will be one of many question that I will ask God when we go to heaven.

God bless!

Answer 5

Repent means turn away from the sin itself and resolve that you will not do it again.

The fact that a person remarried and remains hard hearted about the fact that they should not have done this sin would leave them in very hot water.

Just like adultry, remarriage cannot be undone. Repent the fact that you sinned, and truely resolved never to do this again. God wants your heart to be pure, he knows very well our flesh is ridden with sin and sin nature.

Answer 6

No, a person will go to hell if they haven't trusted in the substitutionary and sacrificial death of Christ Jesus as payment for all of their sins, past, present and future.

That kind of question comes from preachers who only teach about God's law and ignore his grace. There are two Biblical allowances for divorce, one of the spouses committing adultery or if an unbelieving spouse abandons the marriage. But even if neither of those two circumstances happened, while it is not in God's will for a marriage to end in divorce, getting one is still a forgivable sin.

Answer 7

properly, sturdy question! a lot relies upon on why the divorce happened! And that has no longer been spoke back right here! about the basically way i visit make certain to respond to it really is= If someone has carried out incorrect, they ought to ask the Fathers forgiveness and be honest! seem up John: 3:16

Answer 8

No, as long as you ask for forgiveness. Jesus says this in Mark 3:28 “Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; 29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”— 30 because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”

Answer 9

How I see it........and who am I?

ANYone we sleep w/is TO GOD a marriage. After all it is consummation.
SO.....you can only commit adultery the FIRST time you sleep w/them as you are married from then on...............according TO GOD.

Now, you do not have to repent of the remarriage........BUT, the adultery. It is a forgivable sin. Not without consequences.

Remember, when you REPENT......that means you truly believe in your heart you will never do it again (as it is sin). Ask forgiveness.

INIQUITY is something else....that is sin we harbor in our heart that we do not ask forgiveness for, such as hatefulness, ought with someone, lust, jealousy...etc.....sins we never realize that pop in and out every day.....danger! danger!
Do not forget to ask for forgiveness there!

Answer 10

No way! Don't let religion get in the way of happiness. It should be part of the happiness. Remember that hell is reserved for sinners. Was the first marriage a sin?

Answer 11

Didn't we just cover this-

No Divorce is not sin-----sin causes divorce. The actual "legal procedure" to legally become "unmarried" to some one is not the sin. It is the adultery or abandonment or abuse that is the wrong here. The actual divorce is the safety net for the victim.
