Didn't God say adulterers will not enter the kingdom of Heaven?

It depends upon your definition of adultery. The Catholic Church always say that a divorced person who marries another cannot get into Heaven. They have ex-communicated many people over the years for just this matter. In my opinion, this is a strictly Catholic rule, and it is the Catholic definition of adultery. I know that other religions are not so strict about an already divorced person.

Matthew 19:9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery.
More of this is explained in Matthew Chapter 19. One must also realized that originally, before corruption, the catholic (universal - that is why without a big C) had the institution of annullment. If a person goes into marriage under false pretense, was not a Christian - and refuses to change - and chooses to leave, the Christian has the option to re-marry. The marriage really did not exist because the living cannot marry the dead.
What this means - a saved person is alive with the spirit of God, they have been, what people call born again. It does not apply to the birth of the womb.
Marriage also ends at death, because after the resurrection we will not marry.

God said that adulterers won't get into heaven. They can't repent of their sins and God will wipe the slate clean. If a spouse cheats on their husband or wife, they have already made that person an adulterer because they have decided to sleep with someone else. God doesn't hold the person who was cheated on accountible because they didn't chose to cheated on.

A person's soul is your body, your spirit is what is reunited with God. God is all forgiving, what do you think do you think He would rather you live a lie with your exwife then be honest with her and tell her you don't love her anymore, you are just human. Adulterers are people who cheat on their wife, husband.
Don't you remember, "he among you who have never sin cast the first stone?" The woman in question had just been caught bedding with a man that was not her husband, Jesus forgave her and instructed her to go and sin no more.

The bible also says liars and fearful, wont either. Its not the sin, but just sin. No where does it say divorce will automatically send you to hell. I dont kknow if the catholic church looks at divorce as a mortal sin or not but if they do they cant prove it in the bible, but will only look at the church for the aswer for that. God intended for marriage to last till death, thats why is a sin to remarry if your wife isnt dead or to marry a person who is divorced and the spouse isnt dead. Yes, if you get divorced, youre supposed to stay single till your spouse dies. Its a sin to be divorced for any reason other than adultery, even abuse. God will honor seperation.

Did you divorce for scriptural reasons? IMHO there are none but then again I've been known to be wrong.
What God has joined together, let man not put asunder.
Follow the example of Hosea and Gomer. Yes, that was a story about how God pursued Israel the adulteress nation. Usually there are other reasons for God putting those stories in the Bible. I for one feel it is how men are to love there wives even in times of severe infidelity.

If you believe something is a sin, and do it anyway...it's a sin for you and will separate you from fellowship with God, which is hell. How do you feel about judging others? Is it a sin?
But speaking to Christians, there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1

A person who marries after divorce isnt an adulterer so they wnt b condemnd. Plus sometimes itz neccesary to get a divorce. Problems like abuse would result in divorce nd God woudnt send sum1 to hell especially if they did find who appreciatd them

No. the only sin that should not be forgiven is "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit"....it is, a rejection of religion in Jesus Christ. some human beings attempt to tutor the words of Jesus (on the undertaking of divorce) right into a "2d Moses". Jesus did not come to furnish us rules, rules, and rules....He got here to set us loose from those issues. Divorce is in no way "God's terrific for us"....marriage is. That being mentioned, each and each concern is diverse. no count if or not a guy or woman might desire to seek for divorce in a definite concern is a private count, between God and the guy.

I don't think God works that way. I would hope not as far as what I understand the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy!
It sounds like you maybe were hurt and I am sorry, but why would you ask this question!
Judge not lest ye be judged!
Pray for this person and they re salvation and the forgiveness. God makes it very clear that we are to forgive others!
Good luck and happiness to you!
