To divorce and remarry is the sin of adultery. Even if a spouse cheats, to get divorced over that and to remarry is utter adultery.

Mark 10:11-12
Luke 16:18

Many Christians get divorced and remarried all the time. Sadly, they are in adultery.

My people perish for lack of knowledge... Knowledge has to be retained, otherwise it's not knowledge. Scripture's such as the ones I posted here lead to knowledge, but not many people receive it. You can lead a man to knowledge but you can't make him think. In today's matter, you can't make a man think for himself! In his flesh he will search to and fro through the ends of the earth looking for what his itching ears yearn to hear and receive. Not all Christian's have ears to hear what the Spirit says. Jesus in Matthe 19 even said that "Not everyone can receive this word".

I am currenlty seperated from my wife. If I date or seek another wife, I know I will be in sin. And if I remarried and died, then in my sin of adultery I will die and go to hell.

There is no grace for the things that i know and do now follow in the Lord. However if I didn't honestly know what the Scripture said, and i found out the truth, I would be under grace for my honest ignorance. "Ignorance is bliss"

Please read the Scriptures above before you reply, thank you.

The word is quicker and sharper than any twoedged opinion, cutting straight through the attitudes and intents of our deceitful hearts. hebrews 4:12

this is the reply of basically everybody i come into contact to.

but mark10:11-12 and Luke 16:18 say it plainly, divorce and remarrige is adultery. there are two scriptures on this from two gospels. what the matthew scripture is saying is that, if a woman cheats on you, then you can divorce her. but if you get remarried after that, it's still adultery.

You are right brother Revelator. One thing though, I think you are permitted remarry your estranged spouse (reconcile maybe a better word). I hope you and your wayward wife can work things out, and if not, to be single the rest of your days is okay too.

Yeah you're right, reconciling is the only way to get "remarried". And thank you! 1 corinthians 7 talks about it being the Lords command to stay seperated or be reconciled from a spouse that has walked away.

Jesus made the exception, nevertheless, what 4enlightment posted is excellent.

even if the unbeliving spouse leaves, it is still adultery to remarry. believer or unbeliever, mark 10:11-12 and luke 16:18 are a landmark.

Aye indeed, this is what I was thinking, just couldn't think of the book and verse off the top of my head.

he did not make an exception for us to remarry after divorce. he was making the exception that the person divorcing his wife for cheating wouldn't himself be making her an adulteress because if she cheated that's when she became an adulteress.

i don't know how you could over look mark 10:11-12 and luke 16:18

So, adultery is an unpardonable sin?

You're right.

I still think post 5 ends your perspective. Being "unbound" means free from the law, the same way you would be if a spouse died.

if it is deliberate and concious sin, the yes. that would be pride, the "unpardonable sin" as they call it. if you are in fullknowledge of what you are doing and not in honest ignroance, then there is no excuse.

I am free to remarry. I believe that I am going to do this soon. I am going to marry the woman of my heart's desire.

Well, I had blue lighted the words "is not bound" which it is referring that God isn't going to hold that against them as a violation if they went off and marry someone else. As its say, it takes two to tangle, and if you doesn't have a tangle partner from the beginning, then you hasn't been doing the tangle at all. If the unbeliever's heart hasn't been there, then that person is consider not there at all; and so that person hasn't been married to no one, and so no violation has been committed. Because the unbeliever had only married for the sex, and once they had gotten it, they left. That is not a marriage, and do you believe that the disappointed believer should sit at the door and await for their return?

So, one could not be convicted of their sin of pride or whatever at some later date and be forgiven? Is anybody in complete ignorance of any sin, any number of sins, sins of thought even, that go against right conscience, the Holy Spirit, in other words, God? Why is one sin as such so grievous, and not another? You must, in this life, achieve something sinless, then? You could have a hateful thought two minutes before you die, and be a murderer, by the Lord Jesus' declaration, right? You then go to hell?

But you disagree with getting remarried under the circumstances set forth in 1 Co.7:15. What do you think "not under bondage" means?

Does this mean you are free to remarry or that you are only free to leave and be single?
