Question for christians!?

Question

I am divorced and so is my fiance, when we marry each other will we be living in adultry forever because we were married before?

Answer 1

Who told you that nonsense?!

Answer 2

There are two big Scriptural exceptions.

If both of your divorces were really about the infidelity of your former partners the answer is No --- regardless of who filed and what it says on the divorce papers.*

There can also be an exception if the other party in a former marriage left because your becoming a Christan, during the marriage, was totally unacceptable to them and they left for that reason.**

Both circumstance and intent must be given full consideration. One party might be free and the other not. In which case it would still be adultery for both. God will always look upon the heart of the matter.

Options beyond these are few and far between.

Answer 3

If you are a Christian and know what the bible says about divorce and remarrying then you have your answer. If you don't then look it up in the bible. The bible is the canon, or rule, what everything is measured by. It's the ultimate authority on what the true answer to your question is.

There is a small remnant of true Christians left on the earth now. Jesus is coming back soon and all of the insanity will end, but not before judgment. Look to that happening when you're considering remarrying.

Answer 4

Depends. Why did the divorces happen? If your husband comitted adultery, then you are free to marry. If your fiance's wife comitted adultery, then he is free to marry. If you are both free to marry in that sence, then you are not living in adultery.

Now, if the either of your former spouses did NOT commit adultery, then yes, you would be living in adultery. And if you love each other, you will not do that to each other. Take my advice, don't go there. Sow bad seed, reap bad crops.

Answer 5

According to Scripture, the only acceptable reason for divorce is Adultery by the other party. If both your mate, and your fiance's mate cheated, then you are totally in the clear. In any other case, I would strongly advise some bible study, repentance, and rebaptism, and recommittment to the Almighty YHVH. (In order to get started - "on the right foot" so to speak)

Answer 6

Yes, you would be living in adultery if you weren't divorced (due to adultery) in your last relationship. If you simply divorced due to personal reasons (such as financial or suspected behavioral issues or causes of incompatibility), then you would not be in favor with the new testament authority.

Marriage and Divorce
1 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2 And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.
3 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”
4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made[a]them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’[b] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?[c] 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
7 They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality,[d] and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
10 His disciples said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”

If your ex and you parted ways from your marriage previous, and you did't repent and your ex didn't repent, then both of you would not be eligible for remarriage in the eyes of God, no matter who cheated on who. If however, you cheated and were unrepentant, and your ex filed for divorce, then he could remarry. Likewise, you too. Look at your particular situation carefully before you make your decision, it's your soul in jeopardy and no one elses.

Answer 7

I had that same battle. I am divorced but my husband now had never been married. I married him before I was saved and truly knew scripture. I have asked God for forgiveness of my sins, so I am now judged by grace. Here is a website that has some great information about that subject.

Answer 8

What does your pastor say? I personally wouldn't think so necessarily because the Bible does allow in certain situations grounds for divorce. I don't know what you situations were and really even if i did I don't think it's right for anyone to sit in judgment on you and your fiance except God himself. Why not schedule a meeting with your pastor do discuss this issue if it worries you. Have a wonderful marriage.

Answer 9

According to the Bible, Yes.
If you divorce because of an abusive relationship or cheating that is fine. But if you marry a divorced person, you live in Adultrey.

Answer 10

No. If you take a literal view of what scripture says, then you will. But, if you keep in mind in the time it was written, women were property. They could be divorced for ANY reason or NO reason and had NO rights whatsoever. I'm sure where was a good reason for your divorce and his. Your marriage to your soon to be husband will indeed be filled with the love of God if you base your relationship on that. I hope you do. Blessings on your marriage to you.

Answer 11

Technically, yes. However, God is very quick to forgive you if you will simply admit your sin and repent. Then you would no longer live in sin because your sins will be forgotten. As far as the East is from the West. God bless you.
