senny_wong View Profile History	To marry divorcee/separated is sinful or not sinful Posted : 15 Jan, 2011 07:49 AM We believe as christian that marriage that is formed by GOD can't be separated by anything except death.However sometimes things do not go as they were expected and there are things beyond our control so man/woman file divorce. I read in bible roughly tells that whoever marry someones who ever married before will make her/him self commit adultery? So my question is marrying divorcee/separated partner is sinful or not sinful.What do you think guys? Post Reply
View Profile History	To marry divorcee/separated is sinful or not sinful Posted : 15 Jan, 2011 06:32 PM I believe the Bible and it says not to marry those divorced, etc. There are cases allowed in the Bible such as the other spouse commit adultery, you can divorce and remarry then. I think there is another exception also. However, I believe that God can direct you as to who to marry! Post Reply

Wake up every day wondering what if? If things don't work out with your partner, GOD will understand and still be there for you no matter what. Post Reply

I think it was in the Moral Standards or Bible Verse Questions category. It was also a bit of a hot topic at times so you may get some replies with strong feelings about it. But to answer your question based on verses in Matthew, I am not comfortable marrying someone who is divorced except for the reason of their spouse being unfaithful. Post Reply

View Profile History	To marry divorcee/separated is sinful or not sinful Posted : 20 Jan, 2011 09:12 PM Marriage is hands down a covenant....... The bible says in 5:31 �It was said, �Whoever divorces his wife must give her a legal document.� But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. There's your answer..If you divorce for any other reason than the other person being unfaithful you are sining and whoever you marry after that you are committing adultery with because God still honors your covenant from the first marriage.

senny_wong View Profile History	To marry divorcee/separated is sinful or not sinful Posted : 22 Jan, 2011 06:14 AM Dear Bro & Sis, I have no doubt if I am marrying the man who divorce his wife because he is having affair with me means I am involved in adultery. But the scenario is when I meet him ..He is already a divorcee/seperated ,let's say some how he divorced his wife is due to disagreement between them. By marrying him,do I make my self committing adultery as his ex wife is still alive? What you say? Post Reply
Firehawk View Profile History	To marry divorcee/separated is sinful or not sinful Posted : 22 Jan, 2011 01:45 PM Senny, I tell ya, this was a difficult issue for me to resolve in my heart. I've heard both sides of the argument and it took some time to decide where I stand. But there was a sermon that I heard that really made sense to me. I suggest you take the time and listen to it: http://www.marshillchurch.org/media/1st-corinthians/divorce-and-remarriage With that being said...Based on my understanding of Scripture and what you wrote in your initial post, you would be committing adultery. Matt 19:9 ESV - "And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery." Mark 10:10-12 ESV - "And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. And he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery." But the OT does talk about giving a certificate of divorce, the cause is hardness of heart which is rooted in sin. The more thing to add, divorcee and separated are very different. For someone that is divorced, the covenant has been broken. But for the separated, there is still hope for reconciling. Post Reply
View Profile History	To marry divorcee/separated is sinful or not sinful Posted : 27 Jan, 2011 11:37 AM Immorality doesn't just mean if the partner commits adultery. Although that may seem to be the common reason for divorce, lets take into account that the marriage is abusive. In that case, divorce should be accepted and that person, man or woman, should be able to marry again without being accused of adultery by God or anyone. God's true reason for bringing up the subject is he didn't want men and women to have cold hearts and divorce for basically no apparent reason. Seriously, God wouldn't ask someone, man or woman, to be stupid and take beatings every day and be a fool and let the marriage live on. God is compassionate. So, it depends on why the divorce happened whether or not the person should remarry. Post Reply

And I would look for someone else. Post Reply

If i'm in a marriage, then other women better not try to get with me. I would be very mad. The only unforgivable sin is rejecting God. Post Reply
