Do We View Having Multiple Marriages Vs. Multiple Relationships Differently?

[nw2u]

I think it's all the same pretty much whether you've been married or in relationships. They are pretty close to the same in my mind, although living together is sinful. Usually, the marriage that failed has had plenty of sin in it anyway. So, I guess what I am saying is I am a sinful human. Hopefully, I have learned from my mistakes. Compatibility in all things is very important, and that requires time and honest evaluation of ourselves and the person we are dating. I guess those are my thoughts, right or wrong. Love is a funny thing. Seems there is no rhyme or reason for who we find attractive, and sometimes little we won't do for someone we love. Just my two cents.

Dealing only with the concept put forth by the title and first paragraph of the OP: Yes

Last I checked relationships do not include vows made before God and man

I understand that marriage is a vow made before God and a "plain relationship" is not. But one of the things discussed in the original post (if you should take the time to read it) is the interesting situation in which a person who was faithfully married and abandoned by their spouse is not seen as marriage material, but someone who's had 10 relationships and slept with every person they were involved with is.

I have to quote you at: yahweh says , yahshua said plainly, it is written,
"anyone who marries a divorced woman causes her to commit adultery(sin)"

So based on this.... Since my husband was unfaithful and we are now divorced, does this mean that if I re-marry in the future my new husband will be sinning? Am I sinning as well by re-marrying? I am so confused. I thought adultery was the only reason to end a marriage... but I am not to marry anyone else ever?

Kimber,

I have met many Christians who believe that remarriage after any divorce, for any reason, is adultery. Yes, they believe a divorced person must remain single for the rest of their lives.

I know... I was basically told this at the age of 25 as well and it certainly doesn't give one much hope for the future. Cinder wrote an excellent Scriptural view in this thread--you might find reading her post (#12) to be very helpful. I know I did.

Matthew 19:5-9(NIV)
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
[SUP]8 [/SUP]He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.


In the full context, Christ clearly says that someone who marries a divorced person is committing adultery EXCEPT when the divorce was for maritial unfaithfulness. When a spouse commits adultery they have violated one of the most sacred covenants that a human can enter into and thus voided the covenant for their spouse allowing them to remarry.

i agree with scripture (yahweh's word), yahshua(yahweh's salvation).

yahweh says , yahshua said plainly, it is written,
"anyone who marries a divorced woman causes her to commit adultery(sin)".

and more. of course. but nothing ever contradicts this. yahweh never repents of this .

the world and hasatan and many churches love getting larger money, so they lie. go figure.

as for those who have immoral behavior "as if" they will get away with it ,

as it is written, they have a hot reception waiting.(eternal judgment, not peace).

the penalty for sin is death. they will not get out of it, unless, like the prostitutes and thieves who listen to Jesus

they repent (in truth; complete change of life; born again - by yahweh's will, not man's).

Your quote is incomplete.... Sir. It states:
[h=1]Matthew 5:32New International Version (NIV)[/h]32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Thank you so very much
