When can you re-marry again? I'm having an arguement wt my cousin now abt this. I told him I can re-marry again in two cases: If I catch my wife wt another man and if she dies.
He says only if my wife dies i can re-marry again, or I have to live alone if I decide to leave my wife coz she cheats.
I think there's a chapter in corinthians that talks abt that, can u give me a passage too?
thanks

So now you're an adulterer, in addition to a bigot, liar and hypocrite? What a piece of work.

The passages that you ask about contain the word gross sexual immorality.

The (although hurtful) instance of temptation and weakness that could result in adultry (one time) does not give one the ability to divorce and remarry.

Its about the heart, if your spouse has a hardened heart and does not care to live according to Gods will and way, then you would have biblical grounds for divorce, although there is no absolute scripture that states that you may remarry.

The only point blank scripture on remarriage is if you are widowed.

G'day Peter,

Thank you for your question.

It depends on what type of church you belong to. You can remarry if your wife died. Legally, you can remarry if you divorced your current wife.

It would be useful to know what religion you are as that will determine what the approach will be. If you are Catholic, you can take action to have your marriage annulled so that you can remarry in the church.

The Tyndale document on divorce and remarriage in the church states (linked);

"This book interprets the words of Jesus and Paul through the eyes of first century readers who knew about the ‘Any Cause’ divorce which Jesus was asked about ("Is it lawful to divorce for ‘Any Cause’" – Mt.19.3). Christians in following generations forgot about the ‘Any Cause’ divorce and misunderstood Jesus.

The 'Any Cause' divorce was invented by some Pharisees who divided up the phrase "a cause of indecency" (Dt.24.1) into two grounds for divorce: "indecency" (porneia which they interpreted as ‘Adultery’) and "a cause" (ie ‘Any Cause’). Jesus said the phrase could not be split up and that it meant "nothing except porneia". Although almost everyone was using this new type of divorce, Jesus told them that it was invalid, so remarriage was adulterous because they were still married.

The Old Testament allowed divorce for the breaking of marriage vows, including neglect and abuse, based on Exod.21.10f. Jesus was not asked about these biblical grounds for divorce, though Paul alluded to them in 1Cor.7 as the basis of marriage obligations. This book argues that God never repealed these biblical grounds based on marriage vows. They were exemplified by Christ (according to Eph.5.28f) and they became the basis of Christian marriage vows (love, honour, and keep)."

However, marriage annulment is not an easy process.

I have attached some sources for your information.

Regards.

1Co7...

Matt 19:9

...I wandered back by and saw no resolution. I cited Mat 19.9 without pasting it into my answer. It goes to the heart of your question.

Mt 19:9 Here is what I tell you. Anyone who divorces his wife and gets married to another woman commits adultery. A man may divorce his wife only if she has not been faithful to him.”

Mt 5:32 But here is what I tell you. Anyone who divorces his wife causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who gets married to the divorced woman commits adultery. A man may divorce his wife only if she has not been faithful to him.

Matt 5:32 and 19:9 are similar. Each allows a specific exclusion based on adultery. The context would indicate that in a case of adultery, the other partner is not bound by the marriage contract and can divorce IF THEY CHOOSE. There are conflicting points of view, but I feel that it is allowed in the case of adultery.

Spend a little time studying Hosea. God ordered him to marry an adulteress and keep her children as his own and accept her back every time she wanted to come back -- Symbolic of Israel being unfaithful to God.

1 Corinthians 7 is a broader treatise on marriage that mentions divorce. One thing I think we need to learn from it is that whatever our state when we become a Christian, we SHOULD remain that - slave or free, married or single. Some churches will not accept a NEW CHRISTIAN that has EVER BEEN DIVORCED and is now married to another person. I understand Paul's admonition here to say such an approach is invalid, they should remain in their CURRENT situation. (So would they say SOME of your past sins were washed away?)

1Co 7:20 Each of you should stay as you were when God chose you. 21 Were you a slave when God chose you? Don’t let it trouble you. But if you can get your master to set you free, do it. 22 Those who were slaves when the Lord chose them are now the Lord’s free people. Those who were free when God chose them are now slaves of Christ. 23 Christ has paid the price for you. Don’t become slaves of human beings. 24 Brothers and sisters, you are accountable to God. So all of you should stay as you were when God chose you.
25 Now I want to say something about virgins. I have no direct command from the Lord. But I give my opinion. Because of the Lord’s mercy, I give it as one who can be trusted. 26 Times are hard for you right now. So I think it’s good for you to stay as you are.
27 Are you married? Then don’t get a divorce. Are you single? Then don’t look for a wife. 28 But if you get married, you have not sinned. And if a virgin gets married, she has not sinned. But those who get married will have many troubles in this life. I want to save you from that.

I've probably answered more than you wanted now. I hope this helps you get a clear understanding of the truth.

Only if she's dead, not that it would matter since God hates divorce. A spouse is supposed to be forgiving like God, the only exception is adultery, but only if the spouse cannot forgive.

Matthew 19:9
"I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."

Well, does religion factor into the answer? I can only answer you from a Catholic stand point (if the answer is religious). In the Catholic religion, you can remarry if your spouse dies, or if you divorce and get an annulment. Adultery grants you an annulment, by the way.

I don't know about other religions, but I think dead spouse and adultery will get you a remarriage.

You may find your answer some where in:
1Corinthians Chapter 7.
Jesus was asked about the wife who married 7 brothers and all died leaving her without children.

Jesus was asked, which one of the 7 is her husband in heaven? He said, none, we shall be like the angels.

You're right, according to the New Testiment. Jews can get a divorce by just whacking a woman with the papers.

Christians can't.

Death or adultery are the only outs.

It is only on the basis of your spouses death OR adultery, is a Christian permitted to marry again. Not sure where that verse is in Corinthians right now

Lets see what JESUS has to say about this subject, In Matthew 19 it says the following:
19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,
19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
Did you see Him telling you it is BECAUSE OF YOUR HAEDNESS that He allows that, but I will remind you of another verse[s] that perhaps you over looked. IN Matthew 6 in the example of Jesus praying in verse 12 it tells us that He forgives us "AS" we forgive others our debts, and SIN is THE ONLY dept He came to pay, and in verses 14-15 it talks about forgiving others traspasses which are sins done on purpose, now is someone dies thats of course okay to remarry but hay let me tell you of something else you overlook, you and me live on a planet that everyone dies on, you are now walking in your own grave, is marrage the "first" subject that you should be thinking on? NO ONE, NOTHING should be between you and The only Way out Jesus Christ, the thief on the cross, he new he was as good as dead, hay smart guy so are you. how much does a dead person really need, hay free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com God bless you and visit A Seventh Day Adventist Church in your area.
