For Christians...?

Question

I am a Catholic woman. I divorced a year ago and am remarried. Does this make me an adulteress? Will I go to Hell if I don't repent the remarriage?

Please don't say I can't judge. Just say what you believe.

Answer 1

according to the Bible or at least depending on who interpreted I believe the Bible condemns you to hell. I don't but, I believe the Bible does. however, the Bible is confusing and contradictory to me so I'm not saying I'm right or wrong. I sure hope that's not the case because if it is we are all fukd

Answer 2

We often receive questions like “I am divorced for such and such a reason. Can I get remarried?” - or – “I have been divorced twice—the first for adultery by my spouse, the second for incompatibility. I am dating a man who has been divorced three times—the first for incompatibility, the second for adultery on his part, the third for adultery on his wife’s part. Can we get marred to each other?” Questions like these are very difficult to answer because the Bible does not go into great detail in regards to what reasons a person can or cannot get remarried after a divorce.

What we can know for sure is this – God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). It is God’s plan for a married couple to stay married as long as both spouses are alive (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:6). The only specific allowance for remarriage after a divorce is for adultery (Matthew 19:9) – and even this is debated among Christians. Another possibility is an unbelieving spouse leaving a believing spouse (1 Corinthians 7:12-15). This passage, though, does not specifically address remarriage, but rather only being bound to stay in a marriage. It would also seem to me that physical, sexual, or severe emotional abuse would be a sufficient cause for divorce, and possibly remarriage. The Bible does not specifically teach this, however.

In this issue, we know two things for sure. (1) Again, God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). (2) God is merciful and forgiving. Each and every divorce is a result of sin, either on the part of one spouse or both spouses. Does God forgive divorce? Absolutely! Divorce is no less forgivable that any other sin. Forgiveness of all sins is available through faith in Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:28; Ephesians 1:7). If God forgives the sin of divorce, does that mean you are free to remarry? Not necessarily. God sometimes calls people to remain single (1 Corinthians 7:7-8). Being single should not be looked at as a curse or punishment, but rather as an opportunity to serve God more wholeheartedly (1 Corinthians 7:32-36). God’s Word does tell us, though, that it is better to marry than to burn with passion (1 Corinthians 7:9). Perhaps this sometimes applies to remarriage after a divorce.

So, can you or should you get remarried? I cannot answer that question. Ultimately, that is between you, your potential spouse, and most importantly God. The only advice I can give is for you to pray to God for wisdom in regards to what He would have you do (James 1:5). Pray with an open mind, and genuinely ask the Lord to place His desires on your heart (Psalm 37:4). Seek the Lord’s will (Proverbs 3:5-6) and follow His leading. That is the best advice I can give.

Answer 3

Well for one I was raised Catholic and left the Catholic religion because of some issues I had about the Catholic faith. I am now a born again Christian. We believe that if you are divorced and you remarry again, knowing what the Bible says and believing in the word or God, then the answer to your question is yes. Now if you didn't know, or did not understand it, then the answer is no. If you left your Catholic faith due to the same issues I had and believed that divorce was a Catholic thing, then you could have been saved. I don't know what your situation is though.

Answer 4

That whosoever shall put away wife,saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever, shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

Found in Matthew Chapter 5
Mark Chapter 10
Luke Chapter 16

That is what the word of God says my opinion does not count. The bible says if you confess your sin that God us faithful to forgive you sin and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. As far as going to hell read
Galatians Chapter 5 verse 19 -21.

I hope this helps if not seek God about the answer you need.

Answer 5

Why did you divorce? While God says that what he brings together let no one separate, God doesn't ecpect you to stay in an abusive or adultress relationship.

Matthew 5
31"It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'[f] 32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Answer 6

Did you commit a sin for getting remarried? I think not. But if you got into a relationship before your divorce then that is a sin commiting adultery. Therefore we need to repent but not confessing your sin to a Man (priest) we should ask forgiveness directly to our Father in Heaven may He forgive our sins, we ask this in the name of His Son, our Messiah.

Answer 7

If there is any case whatsoever for a Sacramental annulment, no - certainly not. Have you attempted this?

Reasons for a Sacramental annulment to be granted are many and varied...but there must be proof that no valid Sacrament took place. You need to talk to a Canon Lawyer.

The most common reason given for an invalid Sacrament of Holy Matrimony is "lack of proper intention". Others are more involved....but - you need to talk to a Priest or a Canon Lawyer.

Answer 8

There are biblical grounds for divorce, yes. But even better, there is forgivness thru Jesus Christ. He bore ALL our sins. And God is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins, if we confess them to Him. No, you wont go to hell if you dont repent the 2nd marriage. You'll go to hell if youre not saved, accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.

Answer 9

I believe you should read the third chapter of John to find out about what Jesus thought of salvation.As for marriage,I have never been in love,much less had experiences concerning marriage,so I do not know what to tell you.

Answer 10

If your ex husband was unfaithful then your divorce was justified,
if he was faithful then you're an adulteress.
That's what I believe.

Answer 11

Hell=Grave
