Divorce is not a sin, but to remarry another.....while the ex husband/wife is still living.....that's where the sin comes in. The sin of adultery. However, the Most High hates divorce, according to the Scripture. For those considering divorce, consider showing your spouse the same love and compassion that the Most High, through the Messiah, has shown you. Marriage is a sacred covenant, and life-long commitment. It represents the union between the Messiah and His assembly. These principles should be taught, and serious consideration be given before getting married. I don't say that to diminish anyone's struggles, or to condemn anyone for doing what they felt necessary for their own safety, or well being. I'm not suggesting that anyone remain in an abusive relationship of any kind. However, if one does decide to get a divorce, the Scriptural repercussion is clear.....to remain unmarried except to be reconciled to their husband/wife.....unless the husband/wife has died.

@@patriciadavis4250 I'm truly sorry you went through that. While divorce is permitted, Scripturally....remarriage to another while the ex- husband/wife still lives is not. I agree with you that to divorce an abusive, or unfaithful spouse is an option. However, the divorcing partner must remain single, except to be reconciled to their spouse. I wouldn't expect anyone to stay in an abusive marriage, or one of infidelity. The option to remarry....for both parties....only becomes available when their ex has died (according to the Scripture). Blessings!
@@patriciadavis4250 Jesus said: "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery" Matt 19:9 By what Jesus said, you are justified by getting a divorce because your ex-hubbies broke the covenant of marriage by uniting with other women. Now concerning remarrying According to scripture, if a spouse decides to separate on the basis of infidelity (which by the way is the only basis for divorce), while one who cheated can't remarry, the one who was cheated (the offended party) can remarry. Yes, it's unpopular, and it sounds as though I support divorce (which I vehemently stand against), but God, our Father, is not a hard task master! So, let me interpret it to read: "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery" But (Explanation)... Anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and MARRIES another woman does not commits adultery. Paul says: "A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife" I Cor 7:11 Now if we go with what Paul says, it looks like a contradiction to Jesus' words, who is actually Paul's LORD. For a servant, your message should be that which the master has given. Putting the two scriptures together, while Paul was addressing the high rate of infidelity in the Church of Corinth, which he doesn't address elsewhere in Scripture, Jesus addressed it holistically.
