DIVORCE and MARRIAGE AFTER DIVORCE
Posted : 7 Aug, 2025 06:59 PM

Under Old Testament Law, a divorced woman can marry another man. (Deuteronomy 24:1-4)

Even so, while this is true that a divorced woman can marry a man under Old Testament Law, a priest is commanded to not marry any divorced women ever because they are to be holy. (Leviticus 21:7)

and the Old Testament says that GOD HATES DIVORCE. (Malachi 2:16)

In the New Testament, Jesus speaks against divorce and relates it to adultery. (Matthew 19, Luke 16:18 and Mark 10:12)

Paul also speaks against separation and divorce. (1 Corinthians 7:10-11)

We should try to please God. Just because we can do something, does not mean that we should.

Divorce only came around because people's hearts were hard. JUST LIKE ABORTION. And just because something is legal does not mean we should do it.

WHO ARE WE TRYING TO PLEASE HERE?

REALLY?

“‘They must not marry women defiled by prostitution or divorced from their husbands, because priests are holy to their God." (Leviticus 21:7)

He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or a woman defiled by prostitution, but only a virgin from his own people, (Leviticus 21:14)

They must not marry widows or divorced women; they may marry only virgins of Israelite descent or widows of priests. (Ezekiel 44:22)

There are no commands in the Bible to marry divorced women other than Hosea the prophet being told to take to himself a promiscuous woman. (Hosea 1:2)

Anyway, it is not good to encourage divorce, and it is not good to encourage people to divorce and to marry after divorce.

Jesus said, "let no one separate."

Should we then separate?

Yes, I was told recently by a woman on the site who wrote me in my inbox that my teachings on divorce and marriage after divorce are a disaster.

Yes, Jesus teachings against divorce and marriage after divorce were a disaster too. I guess the only thing left to teach on the matter is Matthew 19:10 and 1 Corinthians 7:1. Of course, there is always Proverbs 31:10 and Ecclesiastes 7:28, but those are Old Testament.

HEARTS ARE HARD. (Matthew 19:8)

Sad!

Is there any hope for marriage?

No one wants to follow the teachings of Christ.

To merely quote him, one might get in trouble.

Yes, the Old Testament says, Deuteronomy 24:1-4, "If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, 2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, 3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, 4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance." (Deuteronomy 24:1-4)

BUT DON'T YOU WANT TO FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS?

Jesus' teachings are against divorce and marriage after divorce.

Who would you like to please?

Yes, the Old Testament allows divorce and marriage after divorce, but don't you want to follow the teachings of Jesus?
