LOL!
such a typical response from someone who appears to think it's all about bad women
that is not what you think hopefully? but if the woman is married, there is a man in the picture so let's talk about both
listen, if I was remarried, and please note I said IF, that would still not be the issue
again, how about what Ariel posted?
Yes. Do you mean this generally or do you apply it somehow to my OP? 
To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
My question concerned knowing when we are called, because I did not
surrender to God when He first unmistakably revealed Himself to me.
So I naturally wonder if that was being called, or just a step in the process
Really?
I like my neighbor's husband. Maybe I should do something about it?
And I've Always wanted to try heroine and liquore may not be bad either.
And there's this diamond ring I like at the jeweler, but I can't afford it, so maybe...
I mean, I'm kidding and I know you don't mean what it sounds like.
But let's be careful for new Christians that may be reading along...

Hi T
It's at times like this that it's good to go to a good Church that can tell a person what the bible says.
First of all, you're not supposed to be reading verses on this from the O.T. because in Mathew 5:31-32 Jesus corrects Deuteronomy 24:1-3. Whenever Jesus says: "You have heard it said" it means He is going to correct a previous belief, from the Old Covenant, or Mosaic Covenant.
Second, Jesus abolished the Civil and Ceremonial Law from the O.T. They are no longer valid for N.T. times. Only the Moral Law remains and is to be followed.
IF you want to follow the rule for divorce based ONLY on the bible, then you've quoted the correct scripture:
Mathew 5:31-32. You are only allowed to divorce if your spouse is unfaithful.
You might also want to check Mark 10:11. In the gospel of Mathew Jesus is referring to men.
In the gospel of Mark Jesus is referring also to the wife.
So, if a spouse is unfaithful the other may divorce. Biblically that is the only reason.
Why do you suppose this is so?
Why are we not allowed to divorce?
Before discussing divorce, maybe we could understand what marriage is?
What is marriage?

Yes K.
I knew that was the verse. It would be a good thread to get into.
It just isn't as simple as that. It's talking about eating sacrificed food. it's not bad for us but sometimes it would be better not to eat it.
Another idea is that we should live a good life and not one where we just hardly get by with what we do or how we do it.
Anyway, I just wanted to make sure that a New Christian doesn't go away thinking he could do whatever he wants to do.

Hey, I knew of a male Pastor who liked the female song leader and she liked him to, and they were both married to other people, and one day they ran off with each other and left their mates behind. This kind of thing happens in church more then you might think. Two very popular women evangelist of years gone by both had affairs with married men, humans tend to be weak in the area of male female attraction.
