Remarriage Yea or Nah ?
Posted : 13 Aug, 2017 03:55 PM

I am divorced and confused a bit about biblical teaching on remarriage. Though my divorce was biblical, I'm not convinced remarriage is. Someone please show me some solid doctrine ( not just your opinion) on why or why not remarriage is permitted or not permitted

Well, it's in the Bible. 1 Corinthians 7:8-11 talks about this :

8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am;

9 but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband.

11 But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.

In verse 10, Paul specifically says that it is God's command: Don't get divorced and even if you do get divorced, don't marry someone else. I can only quote you what the Bible says, but I cannot explain it to you any further, because I don't understand it myself. I understand why God said that we should not divorce. But I don't understand why someone who is already divorced is not supposed to remarry. I'll leave it at that.

Personally, I have never been married, and I am looking for someone who also has never been married. I wouldn't feel at peace marrying someone who has already been married once to another man, because Jesus said specifically not to do that. Even if you feel it's perfectly fine, a man who reads the Bible carefully in detail might see that verse and say no to you. See Matthew 5:32.

There is one thing that is being overlooked in our culture that is vastly different than biblical times. If a spouse committed adultery, the penalty was death by stoning. Biblically speaking, a betrayed spouse would have been a widdow/er. So many well-intentioned Christians have wounded those who've already been hurt by shackling them with perpetual singleness as if it were some sort of punishment for a divorce they never wanted and would have avoided if at all possible. It takes two to make a marriage work, but it only takes one to destroy it.

for the divorced this is a hard thing, God dosn't want us to be alone but then the Word says what it says, without love we are crashing cymbals, everyone yearns for it, some disregard reason for it some die for it, it's a pretty powerful thing that love is, I find myself without an arguement but I know one who argues or intercedes for us and with Him anything is possible even if I don't know how or can't see it, if he binds up the broken hearted then there is hope whether it be today tomorrow or in a resurrected body, He will put all things right !

these verses can answer your questions sister :



Or do you not know, brothers�for I am speaking to those who know the law�that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage. Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.

Romans 7:1‭-‬3



"Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.

Luke 16:18



And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" He answered them, "What did Moses command you?" They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away." And Jesus said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female.' 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh. 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."

Mark 10:2‭-‬8‭, ‬10‭-‬12



"It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.' But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Matthew 5:31‭-‬32
