Did you know, that fornication,can not be done after you marry, and the Bible teaches that fornication, Is the only way one can remarry, and it is not adultery, SO why do so many teach, that adultery is the only lawful way , to divorce, and remarry, thats not what the Bible teaches.

Stuller i hope you read this, The Bible, and Jesus, is very clear on the subject, he knows the difference, and there is a difference, He said if a man but away a woman, that had committed fornication, then the woman would commtt adultery, and so would the one who married her. chek out how a wrote that in there, she was single, and she had fornicated, she married, her husband found out she wasen`t a virgin, he divorced her,THEN Jesus said if anyone marry her both would committ Adultery.

Fornication is a more general term than adultry and actually includes adultry. However, no where in he Bible does it say that adultry is a the only way one can remary, the Bible says remariage is not an option at all if y0u divorce.
Mark 10:11 And He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;
Luke 16:18 "Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
1 Cor 7:11 (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.
Romans 7:1 Or do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives? 2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband. 3 So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.

Fornication has different definitions. To me it is sex with anyone other than your future spouse. So is really adultary against future spouse.
Jesus said that adultary / fornications is grounds for divorse. Also Moses allowed the writing of divorcement because of the hardness of mans heart. Since the beginning it wasn't so (God's purpose). God doesn't want divorse. A Man should leave parents, find his woman and they shall become one flesh.
But because some are so hard hearted (adulteries / fornications, physically abuses / threatens) divorses are allowed.

Fornication: means sexual intercourse with someone you are not married to.
As far as adultery, Jesus taught that a marriage is not ended because of adultery, but only by death.

the bible says lots of things that we do not take literally.
stoning of disobedient children, using a beautiful wife to gain wealth, animal slaughter for forgiveness of sins, but
Romans 7:6 says
but now by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the spirit and not in the old way of the written code.
and bonus----
no accountability-I do not sin my sinful nature does
Romans 7:15-20
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is the sin living in me that does it.

Correct me if I am wrong, doesn't fornication mean intercourse? So you cannot have sex after marriage, either? LOL
I wonder how many religious people who are against gay marriage are divorced? Hypocritical to say the least.

Because the bible was written over 1700 years ago. They weren't very smart back then.

I don't have any idea which bible you have been reading, but you should read it again. Adultry is the only valid reason for divorce.

Just be faithful to your mate and you won't ever have to try explaining this twisted claptrap to God.
