Sex with a divorcee a sin ?

Question

Hello world. Controversial subject here. We all know that
fornication, and adultery is wrong. So my question is
this. Let's say that you and a person was in a relationship.
But that man or woman, just so happen to be a divorcee.
Or in other words, out of a bad marriage. Now you 2
become intimate, with one another. One is single, and
never married. * Take note. It is not wise, to marry that
person, according to the Word. But is it really the same
thing as adultery, when you have sex, with someone
who has already been married. But is not considered
so, by law. It being the law of the land. Does this act,
still constitutes as adultery in the spiritual world ?
Or is it just fornication..... Yes. Another classic moment.
Best answer wins. >>>

It is a sin of course. Is it adultery ?
That is the question.

Hey Dominic C. They call you the
worrier.... No wonder you have a
bald spot.... Who's gettin laid now.
Egg head.

Answer 1

It depends on the reason for the divorce. If the wife committed adultery, then the husband can divorce her. So, the husband is free to marry again. On the other hand, if the ex-wife were to have sex, then not only is that fornication, but it is adultery as well. It is adultery because she put away her husband by committing adultery when they were married. She will always be in a state of adultery. I am at work now, and I don't know the exact scripture off hand, but I do know it is in Matthew.

Answer 2

God, the Originator of marriage, designed it to be a permanent union. But is there any Scriptural reason for a person to divorce his or her mate, and one that would allow for the possibility of remarrying? Jesus addressed this matter by declaring: “I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.” (Matthew 19:9) Sexual infidelity by a mate is the only ground for a divorce that will allow the innocent mate to remarry, or the death of the husband or the wife..

In addition, the Bible’s words at 1 Corinthians 7:10-16, while encouraging marriage mates to stay together, allow for separation. Some, after trying very hard to preserve their marriage, feel they have no choice but to separate. What can be acceptable Scriptural grounds for such a step?

One is willful nonsupport. When getting married, a husband assumes the responsibility of providing for his wife and children. The man who willfully fails to provide the material necessities of life “has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith.” (1 Timothy 5:8) So separation is possible.

Another is extreme physical abuse. So then, if a mate physically abuses his wife, the victim may separate. (Galatians 5:19-21; Titus 1:7) “Anyone loving violence [God’s] soul certainly hates.” Psalm 11:5.

Another ground for separation is the absolute endangerment of a believer’s spirituality, one’s relationship with God. When a mate’s opposition, perhaps including physical restraint, has made it impossible to pursue true worship and has imperiled the believer’s spirituality, then some believers have found it necessary to separate. Matthew 22:37; Acts 5:27-32.

However, if divorce is pursued under such circumstances, one would not be free to enter a new marriage. According to the Bible, the only legitimate ground for divorce that permits remarriage is adultery or “fornication.” Matthew 5:32.

The Bible allows only one reason for getting a divorce that frees a person to remarry, and that is fornication (Greek, porneia, gross sexual immorality). If fornication is committed, then the innocent mate may decide whether to get a divorce or not. Matthew 5:32.

After telling the Pharisees that the Mosaic concession of divorcing their wives was not the arrangement that had prevailed “from the beginning,” Jesus said: “I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.” (Mt 19:8, 9)


Marriage involves two people with differing personalities learning to develop common interests and working together toward common goals. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, not a casual agreement that can be lightly abandoned. In many countries, divorce is not difficult to obtain, but in the eyes of a Christian, the marriage relationship is sacred. It is ended only for a very serious reason. (Matt. 19:9) Christian spouses can avail themselves of wise counsel from the Bible, support from fellow Christians, and a close, prayerful relationship with God. A successful marriage endures, and over the years, it brings happiness and contentment to husband and wife. More important, it brings honor to God, the Originator of marriage.

Christianity over the ages has come to be interpreted from many perspectives. Some teach that every word in the Bible is true as written. Others teach that the Bible is a guide for living, born of divine inspiration, to lead a path that causes man and his fellow man to live in ways that avoid the chances of outcomes that cause pain, to himself, or to others. The world of God is our road map, and as history teaches the consequences of adultery have largely shown that it is the actions of individuals who have acted selfishly, and another is hurt. Through the history of what man and woman have lived through, the word of God has been a wise teacher. It has been good in that by following the teachings, much pain and suffering has been avoided. But God in his wisdom knows that chaos is loose in the world, and though he is always there for us, he sometimes protects us through our errors, and in that sense we are always forgiven. And in some occasions God sees that what often may have been sin and caused hurt, is not impossible to have a good out come, as in life, many outcomes can be possibilities.

Sometimes, letting go seems like the easiest thing to do. But think about this: you've invested so much of your time and energy into another person; you've made a solemn promise; and you still know there's love, even if it's hiding underneath the surface.

Answer 5

Like it matters eh?

I'll happily sleep with anybody I find attractive including divorcees and married women if they're up for it, over the age of consent and in a fit state of mind to give it and not a relative.

It ain't sin, it's sex, and sex is goooooooooood :o)

Sin is turning down a good offer.

Answer 6

I'm under the conviction that what you describe is a sin.

In the eyes of god it is adultery, therefore it must be.

The Bible of course teaches that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

I have sinned and this is one area in which I have sinned and need the blood that Christ poured out on the cross. God can forgive this sin as well as all others, we must be willing to allow him to do this.

The law exists to make us all aware that we have sinned and fallen short. My sin is no better or worse than yours. The price that we must pay for them is death. On judgment day, Christ will have paid that price for me and I will enjoy eternity with my creator.

Who will pay the price for your sin? Christ or yourself? Those are the two choices you have and you get to choose during your time on Earth.

Answer 7

You seem very confused about rights and wrongs.

If a marriage is finished by divorce it is perfectly OK to become intimately involved. (not a sin)

However I will leave it to your beliefs if it is ok outside of marriage.

I would think your views are very much in the minority on this issue, but different regions or countries have various opinions on this.

Answer 8

"We" all know? What's with the "we"? You mean people who think like you know its wrong? And whats with the fornication word? Do you mean having sex and you just can't bring yourself to write the S word. Seriously, you need to get laid once in a while, do you good. Mind you your girlfriends probably got a puncture.

Answer 9

Technically, it is my understanding that according to the Bible if a divorcee remarries it is actually a sin.

My moral system does not consider that nor anything you mentioned to be immoral as long as all concerned parties consent.

Answer 10

It depends on your mythology. In Catholicism, yes, it would be adultery unless their marriage was annulled.

It would be fornication in any case, wouldn't it? Sex outside marriage?
