What does the Bible say about divorce and remarriage? | GotQuestions.org 

I 💯 agree

💯Agree! Personally I think most marriages, including Christian marriages, nowadays are outside of GOD’s will. Too many want to rush in and not seeking GOD’s will or timing or discernment and the marriage turns out to be plagued with problems. Many are the result of a wolf in sheep’s clothing taking grotesque advantage of an unsuspecting sheep and heavily manipulating them into rushing into marriage or eloping with them… only for the sheep to realize they were conned by an abuser and forced to leave for their own safety.

any marriage, under any culture, or religion, or lack of.....the marriage is sanctioned....otherwise, on conversion one would have to remarry or leave that relationship, and it never happens...ergo....the marriages are put together, by God...

Did you take a vow? To death do us part?

True

💯💯👍

there does not seem to be any exceptions....many use fornication, to be sexual immorality, where as sex, out of the covenant relation has its own term....adultery....and the other is to assume that not under bondage means not bound.....it is a delicate issue, and I, for one, dont want to get caught up, on the wrong side of this teaching.....

May God be with you. I am in the same boat. I don't know what will happen to me now.

@@dwightwilliams311wait so you go to hell since you’re divorced ? Can you get married again

@@alexhamilton624 being remarried will exclude you from Gods kingdom?

Never been married here . I started dating a divorced woman and realized that God takes marriage very seriously. I originally wanted to marry her so we could be together intimately. Later realized that marriage is so much more than that. I don’t think I would be a good husband anyway. So I will just remain single and celibate. This is good discipline

@@4VRFIERCEapparently religion says you go to hell if you remarry. But I have not ripped John chapter out of my Bible. May I suggest you get a new Bible that has not removed John chapter 4.

Seperation NOT Divorce. Even if you remained seperated to safety. No biblical grounds

ASK THE LORD TO HELP YOU TO GET OUT OF THAT SITUATION, TO HELP YOU TO FORGIVE, BUT STAY FAR AWAY FROM THE ABUSER AND LET GOD HANDLE THEM HOWEVER THE LORD WILLS, WHILE THE LORD HELPS AND PROTECTS YOU, THE VICTIM!* *Abuse is a blatant violation of the marriage covenant. Abuse is demonic and vehemently against GOD. It is hate, not love. Hate is m*rder in CHRIST’s sight. Unless the victim gets help and leaves the abuser, it can destroy the victim from the inside out or physically, or drive the victim to suicidal depression, or into sin and bitterness and be destructive to their relationship with GOD! NOT ANYTHING OR ANYONE IS WORTH THE DESTRUCTION OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!* *It is IMPERATIVE the victim IMMEDIATELY leaves the abuser and stays far away from the abuser to save their own life and soul and that of their children if children are involved! INCLUDING DIVORCE!* *The Scriptures say if one spouse divorces the other let them remain unmarried or reconcile… CONSIDER WISDOM HERE- and heed the very serious warning to NEVER reconcile with an abuser no matter how much they “promise to change”, don’t fall for it! It is wisdom to remain unmarried, far away from the abuser and be very thankful to the LORD!* *And if you as the victim feel there has been any damage to your relationship with GOD (perhaps any bitterness, or unforgiveness, anger or anything else it may be) then ask the LORD for forgiveness and healing, and to help you to walk in love (coupled with wisdom and establishing/maintaining healthy boundaries) and help you in restoring right relationship with Him!* *Psalm 23:* *”“The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall not want.

Divorce and remain single.

You're exempt from this, you were not a believer when you got a divorce. You are not committing adultery.

I'm in a similar boat. Is it possible the message is for you? To give you clarity regarding their marriage? Or to help others in a similar situation? Either way, sure to both love and honor them when they do honorable things. Remain focused on Christ, and share Christ. And all things will come together for good, and for His glory.

What you can do is pray to God to forgive any iniquities, unknown or known between all parties. You can pray that He brings your parents to a point of repentence and convicts them. Keep praying. Maybe you could even pray for the opportunity to address it all with them. 🙏 ❤

divorce is not a sin, as the options are to reconcile or remain unmarried...

divorce is not the issue, it is the remarriage...

sadly there is not much that you can do....

Pray pray pray and stay single by faith knowing God has the power to perform heart surgery on her and bring her back to you. Just remember that if God does convict her heart and she repents and comes back to be reconciled unto you, how can she if you are in another relationship?

there is a way, that seems right, to man, that leads, to death, and this topic is the most common way to forfeit your salvation..

If a spouse commits adultery then the innocent party is not bound to them. Because God allows divorce due to adultery. So he doesn't hold the innocent party accountable. It's like the marriage is null and void

Especially for a man

er....no.....there is no innocent party, in a divorce...

(except in Luke 16:18 (or Matt 5:32) when it forbids a man to married a divorced woman, whether she instigated the divorce or not.

I have heard a pastor named Mike Winger argue that if Matthew 18 is carried out to the extent it's possible, trying to win back the brother or sister from their unrepentant sin and they still will not listen, we are to regard them as an unbeliever. In the case that they profess Christ but divorce their spouse willfully without grounds (sexual imorality, for example) and will not repent of it and be reconciled, the abandoned believer is not bound per 1 Corinthians 7, regarding them as an unbeliever. It'll take working with other Christians to try and win them back first, but if they cannot be won, Mike argues we are free to remarry and are not expected to keep the marriage covenant alone without them.

Hell no, dear, but separation fir reconciliation purposes is allowed.

dont underestimate the power of wanting/needing someone; its not unheard of for suddenly singled people to promptly take up another relationship within a couple months, and get remarried within a year. everyone needs someone.

There is a time for grief, and only One who truly knows that grief to whom we can pour out everything we think and feel, just as He invites us to (Psalm 62:8).

@@Lauren-vd4qeI really need someone but I’m unclear on what God wants me to do. My wife divorced me over three years ago while we were both unbelieving atheists. Then I was saved a year later. I’ve been desperately lonely and in need of companionship but I’ve been all alone all this time now. I’ve been praying for my ex-wife to be saved and for reconciliation but she is now seeing a new man and they go on trips all over and spend lots of time together while I’m alone and suffering terribly. I’m only 46 years old so unless the Lord returns soon I have a lot of years probably left to keep going on like this. I don’t know what to do except keep asking the Lord for guidance and trusting in Him.

Less than a year is way, way to fast to hope for something like that. A sound relationship, strong enough to survive marriage, takes a long time to form, months or years. That comes after the time needed to heal from the loss of a spouse, which could be months or years. I think, if a widower married in less than a couple years after the event, it would become the hardest relationship he ever experienced.

a couple years? i doubt most people wait that long. I wouldnt. I lost a spouse to divorce, now im married almost 50 yrs. and i met n married him in 9 months, its going well. @@joshuakarr-BibleMan

reconcile

There's no where God said He won't forgive. Don't be too hard on yourself. Satan will use the situation to accuse you, don't allow him.

Your pastor lied.

You can divorce but cannot remarry.

If the wife, who committed adultery was not a believer, the other party is not bound to them and us free from that marriage.

If they are free can the pastor remarry? I really need to understand 🥺🥺🙆

@@christoprighteous8199 where in scripture does it say that? Especially being divorce in the Bible is allowed ONLY for adultery and obviously if someone passes away unfortunately , so yes, if you can back that up with scripture, I would appreciate it, have a blessed day and night

​@jennamarielovesjesus12 common sense tells us that. Not bound is no longer bound. Also a personal relationship with the Savior. ASK Him He will answer.

You can divorce but cannot remarry as long as he is alive. Romans 7:2-3, 1 Corinthians 10:11-12, Luke 16:18, Mark 10:11-12.

You are still married remember marriage is till death do you part and nothing less. God bless.

Paul insinuated in 1 Corinthians 7:15 that if the unbelieving spouse leaves, the Christian is not bound in such circumstances. But, he clearly stated that those were his words and not the Lord's. Ask God to show you what to do.

@@samuelzulu9731 It depends on the situation. Abandonment by an unbelieving spouse and sexual immorality by the other spouse. (Matthew 19:9 and 1 Cor 7:15).

If the spouse passes away, the other is free to remarry.

@@lifeofaninteriordesigner1305 That’s what I figured. Thanks for the reply.

You're free to remarry.

NO

Thank you for your honesty

So in short we believers should not remarry or get married to anyone who has been divorced?

Porneia/Fornication/Sexual Immorality are situations where the participants are married and single. Married people commit fornication by having sex with someone with whom they are not married. For Matthew being about the betrothal period, why did the Pharisees ask Jesus about marriage and he answered them about the betrothal period. Pharisees: Can you divorce your wife for any reason? Jesus: You can't separate from your fiance for any reason except her cheating on you....or it is adultery. As far as remarriage goes, it had been happening for centuries, sometimes for the accepted reasons and sometimes for the wrong reasons. Jesus never talked directly about homosexuality, either, but he didn't need to as the topic was assumed. Why didn't Jesus and Paul tell everyone....."Some of you have been married to other people besides your current spouses and the former spouses are still alive....you need to leave your current spouse....have your former spouse leave theirs and then the two of you rejoin....That or just stay single....(though it's going to be a lot harder for the women). Question-have you given away all of your possessions to the poor? Why not? Jesus said to.

so if I'm a believer and she's defiantly not shes all new age well crap, I can remarry? cause I dont really want to be alone for the rest of my life :(. can u plz clarify for me.

Read 1 Corinthians 7:15. Paul was very careful to say I, not the Lord . He insinuated that if the unbeliever leaves the marriage, the, the believer is not bound in such circumstances.

All sin is deliberate. By your rationale, a believer who is a former heroin addict, ends up relapsing and dying from that relapse. He's going to Hell, correct? It was his last sin, so....

​@@sfs1167yes, in my understanding he would go to hell because if he had really asked Jesus for help, if he had put his soul at the feet of Jesus, Jesus would have healed him. When Jesus heals, you are healed. Also, if God saw a chance of turning to him, I am sure he would give the addict a chance once more. Looking at divorce again: When 2 Christians get divorced and one gets married again, hence breaking the marriage, he can ask for forgiveness but has to get divorced from his second spouse and live by himself to obey God's will. Otherwise it would be equivalent to a bank robber coming to belief in prison. One would then think that he was saved. But if he does not return the stolen money to the bank, he is not saved.

Oh boy. What Bible aren't people reading? Jesus said if you love me keep my commands. He said no divorce. I've been single for 7 years because God is my priority, if I can do it anyone can.

Sis, you are FREE to divorce AND remarry if you so desire! This man broke the scripture down so plainly, so I'm not sure why others on here keep saying the opposite. When a scripture says a person is free or except for, those are exceptions Jesus and the apostle gave so that a person doesn't have to live in misery while their spouses constantly cheat on them or abandons them. You are free according to Scripture. Why else would Paul have said, a brother or a sister is not bound(marriage covenant) in such cases! When a man or woman constantly is cheating on their spouse, they broke the covenant of marriage, which is why Jesus mentions, except for the cause of fornication.

Jesus said....but I say, unto you.....

@@philipbuckley759 Yes. HE said that you shouldn't divorce unless your spouse commits sexual immorality against you (Even the Pre-Erasmus definition was sexual immorality between two people who weren't married to one another). If they do, you may divorce. By Law, remarriage was permitted and expected as that is what the divorce certificate says which is why the word 'remarriage' isn't mentioned. 1 Cor 7:15 mentioned that one is not enslaved to another an unbelieving spouse who has departed. The word "enslaved" is used as there as a woman who was abandoned and not divorced was known as an "agunah," or one who is "chained" or "anchored." Paul is stating that she shouldn't be in that situation. Again, a legal divorce by law (and yes, they existed), meant that a person could marry again, so there was no need to mention it. Question for you, Phil. I've seen you on just about every one of these types of videos for, literally, years. Do you ever try to lead someone to Christ, by talking about salvation and grace or do you just enjoy pointing fingers? Your answer will likely tell you where you stand with your own salvation.

Yup. Believers are required to maintain a marriage, once they create it. The "better or worse," and the "till death" vows aren't mere tradition. They are solemn vows, sworn before God and He takes vows seriously. If a believer walks out of a marriage, then it us a sin against God and against the other spouse, and against any children, and against the church, and against society. Still, we can't repay the sin of abandonment with the sin of divorce. Now, after all that, if she starts a sexual relationship with somebody else, then that is adultery, and grounds for a divorce. No, Scripture says a married couple must not separate, but if they do, then they should be reconciled to one another.

@@joshuakarr-BibleMan Marriage shouldn't be a form of idolatry. Though important, it isn't perfect. The Bible offers two reasons for divorce and if divorce is Biblical, the implication is remarriage. Sexual immorality (Matthew 19:9) and abandonment by an unbeliever (1 Cor 7:15). Critics cry out "but it doesn't SAY you can get remarried!" It didn't need to as it was assumed that this would happen as it had gone on for centuries. Jesus pointed out the importance of marriage and how it wasn't to be taken lightly. There is no "no fault" divorce.

@@sfs1167 it is fornication, and not enslaved is not akin to not bound...

@@sfs1167 Well said. These divorced/remarried You Tube videos are full of vicious legalist Catholics or ex-Catholics full of vitriol like they are something right out of the Spanish Inquisition. If the bible commanded divorced believers not to remarry, then I could understand their viewpoint. As is, the implication is that divorced people are once again single, and free to remarry (or remain single).

Let God lead and guide you in the right path. People have their own opinions about what it means rather they quote scriptures biblical or not. I'm not saying the scriptures are wrong or ignore scriptures, because we cannot change the word of God. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. If you follow Christ more openly he will direct your path. Let God be true and every man to be a liar.

@nathanaeldavid6238 verbally n physically abusive then took up with other females.

From what you said, I would judge your former husband as a sucker, too (Proverbs 22:14; Romans 1:21,24). "The two shall become one." If they separate, do they separate as the same, or does a piece of each go with the other. If the second, it is obvious why God hates divorce. If the second, what upsets you the most now, the piece of him that remained in you, or the piece of you now missing, or both. May the Lord complete your healing and may the Lord bring your former husband to his senses.

@JosephGreen7 Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive

I agree with you on this but this guy on the video is misinterpreting the scripture. This guy is a LIAR

Matthew 19:9 is the same in KJV. The presence of the exception in this verse cannot be ignored. 1 Cor 7:15 is actually even clearer in KJV than in other translations because it uses "bondage" rather than "enslaved." You speak of loopholes, but you blind yourself to his words as well as that of his Apostle. And Romans 7:2-3 is descriptive, not prescriptive. The passage is not a teaching about divorce, but the nature of the Law.

KJV is not the absolute standard. There are translations that are more pure than the KJV.

Divorce but remain single

@jenisebrooks4308 So, basically as long as you (not you personally) can trick someone into marriage then you are stuck. So God rewards dishonesty.

@@Alexander44665 no I said divorce but remain single.

@jenisebrooks4308 I understand. Basically you are saying that biblically if a person tricks you into marrying them by hiding a deal-breaker you can leave them-but you have to be alone forever. Under those circumstances most people will stay in their miserable marriage. This means that-more or less-God is rewarding the deceitful person. It gets me how pastors can say (with a straight face) that marriage is a "blessing." Oh boy, how "lucky" we are that God gave us this "blessing"! If this is God's idea of a blessing, I hate to see what his idea of a curse would be. So really, I am further ahead to technically stay single, have a baby with a woman, then repent and then marry her. At least that way I know I will have a child.

@@Alexander44665 and this why God is the judge. Honestly he knows our hearts he knows if we really want to please him. There are many situations that don't fit what it's supposed to be EXACTLY!!

The word Adulty Jesus in Mark 10 is using is μοιχάω moicháō is singular in form. What about Math 19 or Corth 15? There is NO verse in the bible that tells you once you messed up and got divorced that you must break up a family and most likely children, this would be sinning again by divorcing. This important issue would have been clearly spelled out. You are not looking at the bible in context, you have to look at ALL scripture and have context. Actually in Det once you are divorced and if she marries another you can NOT go back to the first husband.

@@philipbuckley759 Your perspective from a Christian church standpoint is extremely radical and is not endorsed by 99.99% of churches or scripture.

It would transform into a harmful environment, leading to the abandonment of faith by children influenced by this false teaching at unprecedented levels. No theologian who reveres God would advocate for this stance. I recommend examining Dr. John MacArthur's teachings or other conservative pastors and theologians like Dr James White on this matter.

this is not a Muslim site....

VERY GOOD POINT.. I wonder how the naysayers are gonna get around this truth? They'll figure out a way, I'm sure of it. I'm SURE of it. !

Please read the whole chapter of 1 Corinthians 7. That should give some clarity regarding your questions

Sin

Matthew 5:28-29 - JESUS said: “But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye-even your good eye-causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.” So to answer your question, YES, the practice of or addiction to viewing pornography is also adultery and a violation of the marriage covenant.

no....

No He doesn't. He only honors the the commitment and covenant with your first husband. If your first husband is still alive and you are remarried, you are living in sin and commiting adultery.

That's why you say till death do us part, you and your spouse are making a covenant before the most high to remain together until death. Getting a divorce isn't a sin, but if you divorce for whatever reason, Jesus said you are to remain unmarried or be reconciled to you first spouse. It's one man and one woman for life. God doesn't honor second or third marriages, only the first. Hope this provides clarity. God bless you 🙏🏾.

That means we have to give up our worldly, and fleshly desires. Sometimes that can be very difficult, but through the power of the Holy Spirt we can run away from any ungodly temptation that crosses our path. You need to be born again for the Holy Spirt to do a good work in you. That means full surrender to Jesus Christ. That means not only believing in him, but also obeying his commands. You have to do both. .@@sfs1167

King David did. It depends on a person's faith.

you are willing to gamble eternal salvation, for a few years, of sex....hmm...

@@philipbuckley759 You are, as well, Phil. So you're telling me that David is in Hell? Oh, he had Uriah killed, so he's "good to go," right? Salvation is based on faith not your works or your attempts not to sin. There are exceptions to marriage after a divorce, which are not sin. Unless you're a gay man, you've looked at a woman in lust. That makes you an adulterer and will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Wait, you say that you just ask forgiveness for it and you're good? So sin-rinse-repeat? You are the type that would tell two new Christians who had lived terrible lives before coming to Christ that they must divorce and go back to their original spouse? Are you part of the DTR Cult?

Remarriage for a man is not always adultery. Stop adding to Scripture

The Romans 7:3 and 1 Cor 7:39 are talking about someone who is married, not biblically divorced. Jesus was talking about marriage because that's what the Pharisees asked him about. In that case, people now couldn't even break an engagement. If you initiate a divorce, you shouldn't remarry. If an unbeliever does, you are no longer under bondage to that relationship. If you aren't enslaved, you are free. 1 Cor 7:15.

not under bondage is not akin to not bound a term that the writer had just used....@@sfs1167

Vows to love honor and cherish as long as you both shall live. For good times and bad times. Those things are said too. Take the entire not the selected.

It depends on the situation. Sexual immorality or abandonment by a nonbeliever are reasons. (Matthew 19:9 and 1 Cor 7:15).

@@sfs1167 these are misuse of the text....fornication is not sexual immorality, and sex, out of the marriage covenant is adultery....and not being under bondage is not akin to not being bound....

@@sfs1167 sex, out of the marriage covenant, is adultery, and abandonment is not a reason......as not enslaved is not akin to not bound...

@@sfs1167what about abandonment by a believer?

He just wants us to be responsible not all over the place with it. When we are it hurts us anyway.

we are trapped in by our God given desires.....

Shut up … Actually you know what? Let’s wait and see what happens. If the Lord causes this, then you have spoken faithfully. If it doesn’t, then you will have been identified as a false prophet.

But just remember- this is why we need Jesus, to save us.

Absolute bollocks! You don't know what you're talking about. Why do some Christians always want to see seeds of fear. Despicable.

we said this, back about 50 years....
