View Profile History	Divorce and Remarriage - Is it Sin? Posted : 13 Aug, 2009 05:46 PM Well if it is a sin, I am forgiven. :prayingf: There are references in the Bible about divorce, I won't lay them all out, but here are 2 sections I have found. (cut and pasted) "Matthew 19:7 They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her AWAY?" Matthew 19:9 "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery." "1 Corinthians 7:12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 1 Corinthians 7:13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him." I have been divorced twice, once for adultery and the other non-believer addicted to porn and infidelity. I do not believe I will go to hell for either divorce. But personally I do think since it is obvious I can not make a sound choice in a mate, the last time around I am leaving it up to God to find the right one for me. TMI maybe? :laugh: ~Lisa Post Reply
View Profile History	Divorce and Remarriage - Is it Sin? Posted : 13 Aug, 2009 06:16 PM I like the reply Lisa, I would also have to add who initiated the divorce? Were you a believer (believers) when the divorce occurred? What was the cause? I also am divorced, she wanted out (I don't blame her) and had an affair, we were also both non-believers. The Bible says we are new creations in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17-17Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. I believe what we did before we came to Christ is washed away by His Blood. What we've done after is still forgiven, but we'll have to make an accounting for the choices we've made. Post Reply

I do not know if I would so confine His view on sin, because He is holy. He allows and permits us to go our way, but the Spirit indwelling will convict (convince) the true believer of sin and point him back to God. The initial question (mine) was to rehash the question, How does God view getting married after a divorce? I'm opening my heart here. I've been divorced - you can see it on my profile - but is it really pleasing to God to enter into another marriage? Should I stay in the status of "divorced" the rest of my life? Post Reply

Personally I believe that He is the one that put those desires on your heart, therefore He probably has someone planned for you, but who am I to even try to guess about what God has planned for me let alone some one else. The only thing I know for sure is that His plans are for our good and they are far exceeding anything we could imagine. Andrew:yay: Post Reply
