I have to admit,,,I'm torn on this one. My Bible says that divorce is a sin. And if you re-marry,,,you are committing adultery,,,,some factors like the original spouse committing adultery is acceptable to divorce and re-marry.....as I said I'm torn,,and praying,,I'm divorced (yeah he cheated) but not re-married.

The Book of Matt. says any man that puts his wife away other than for Adultery is a sin. Who ever he marries is committing Adultery and the one put away marries also commits adultery. So short and sweet Unless your mate dies you are not free to marry. You are free to divorce if he has commit ed adultery but you still cannot marry. Sad but it says it very plain.

The way it has been explained to me is that divorce becomes OK if one in the relationship has committed adultery. The one that didn't adultery during being married is in the clear, the one that did commit adultery in the marriage...well it seems to be a sin then. So it would be OK for the one that didn't commit adultery to remarry.

The Bible teaches that there are two grounds for divorce. The first is if one of the partners cheats on the other one and the second is if a believer is deserted by an unbelieving spouse.
Matthew 19:9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery."
1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace.
The idea that remarriage if you have been divorced for Biblical grounds is adultery is not supported by the Scriptures. The only prohibition against remarriage after Biblical divorce is in the OT and it says that a person cannot go back to their previous spouse if they have gone on to marry someone else and then gotten divorced again.
Deuteronomy 24:1 "When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house, 2 and if she goes and becomes another man's wife, 3 and the latter man hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter man dies, who took her to be his wife, 4 then her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination before the LORD. And you shall not bring sin upon the land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance.
If you look at what Jesus taught about divorce and remarriage you see that it is God's perfect will for a couple to remain together for life. But God knows that we are imperfect people and He has made allowances in his permissive will for remarriage after divorce when there is no hope of reconciliation.

I believe exactly as you do. If he committed adultery then you have the right to remarry. That is as long as you did not commit adultery also. I stayed in a very negative marriage for years. I got lucky because my husband got his act together. He had not committed adultery. He was just a jerk. He still has his quirks, but I feel very lucky to have him now. He is a terrific partner.

How close is your relationship with God? Does He talk to you , do you seek Him diligently???
I have been married for 29 years and we have six kids .My husband ,who always pretended to be saved, filed for divorce and these days anyone can get an easy divorce, even if the other person does not agree. I prayed for God to give me direction and guidance in all of it and He did. He told me , not to divorce him , even mine also had affair after affair and did not want to come out of sin . I know today, that my husband was never saved and when I got saved in 1995 and started reading my word and came into the truth , of what God has to say about certain things, he moved farther and farther away from me. He did not want to have anything to do with God.
I was forced into the divorce on June 4, 07 and I believe that I am free to marry, if God sends someone to be my life partner.
Fast a few days and seek God intensively in your situation and He will speak to you and show you , what He wants for you . Just trust in Him and He will direct your path.
Don't worry about , what others say, when you hear from God Himself, you will be satisfied, it is a relationship between you and God and nobody can tell you what God can tell you much better.
God bless you .......

permit me permit you comprehend why. Now days, you are able to flick to the christian television channels and spot extensive church homes with hundreds of human beings. They throw down the prosperity gospel. They pontificate approximately God's grace and approximately a thank you to have exhilaration continuously. They do what feels good. The do what's delicate. Now curiously a approach or the different the sands of the sanctity of marriage my potential of living with the aid of the code "till demise do us section" slipped interior the path of the arms of the church... yet curiously homosexuality in no way did. i think of the reason that got here approximately is by using the fact homosexuality is extra of a existence type... fairly some human beings see it as a call... while certainly, it particularly is a conflict. the sentiments are actual, i'm particular. i assume the alternative component of it particularly isn't any count if or not the sentiments are going to be acted upon. The church can element that is finger at gays and lesbians and say, REPENT! with the aid of fact they're what they're. they're choosing to act on those emotions of theirs and that's in simple terms incorrect... yet attempt preaching on divorce for half-hour? you're able to have 0.5 the human beings squirming of their seats. See, the church would not could pontificate on divorce with the aid of fact what's completed is finished. (sarcasm) properly if something have been given via my rambling there that is going to be this. the well known-day church likes to sense good - to sense snug. and how do i comprehend this? with the aid of fact i've got been going to church in view that i replaced into born. I see it from the interior out. and that i'm attempting so stressful... to make a distinction... Of all the human beings i comprehend, I even have yet 3 friends that see the same subject. So i don't understand the place you stand with Jesus yet permit me permit you comprehend something. contemporary-day Christianity does a worse job than a horse's a $$ at witnessing the gospel. in case you decide on for to comprehend what all those issues is definitely meant to be approximately, grab a Bible and in simple terms examine interior the path of the e book of John. that's the 4th e book interior the NT. Peace

creeklops,
You are free to remarry if/when YOU choose to do so. He is NOT since he is the one who committed the sinful act. He will be the one who is found Guilty at the judgment. There is no reason for you to feel guilty since he was the one who was sinful. Our FATHER will allow you to remarry as if you were never married. Have a wonderful week.
Thanks,
Eds

The Old Testament laws don't completely apply in this day and age. We don't tithe (sacrifice) fatted calves today-- instead, we tithe cash earnings...Women wear pants today. As after divorce, I believe that God still wants us/you to have a helpmate and to be equally yoked with your significant other. He certainly doesn't want you mistreated, cheated on, beaten, etc. If He blesses you to meet someone else who truly loves and respects you and fulfills his role as a husband, the way God intended him to, you should definitely remarry. Especially if you still wish to be fruitful and multiply, if you haven't already, that is.

Yeah, pretty much anything like that, or verbal and physical abuse are all grounds for divorce. I think that people now adays know they can have a divorce if "things don't work out" so they aren't marrying for life and they aren't willing to work things out. I hope people realize the benefit for marrying for life and get this divorce rate down.

8Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
