Anyone who divorces his wife and remarries commits adultery. mark 10, Luke 16...
Anyone can stand for any one believer or any one unbeliever.
Just because they weren't true about marriage in the heart doesn't cancel out the fact that they married you by the laws of the land, where signature has be given and a court has accepted it as legit. when i met my wife before we married i said to her i wasmarried to her in heart, but that didn't make us married.
mark 10:11-12 and luke 16:18 are clear. divorce and remarriage is the sin of adultery and adulterers don't go to heaven but hell. i wouldn't take these scriptures lightly.

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
1 Corinthians 6:16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”

But you disagree with getting remarried under the circumstances set forth in 1 Co.7:15. What do you think "not under bondage" means?
1 Cor 7:15 doesn't talk about or refer to remarriage, it only talks about seperation/divorce. it was saying that the believer is not bound to an unbleiever *in marriage* if the unebleiver then leaves. it is better not to marry an unbeliever because they could leave at any time for any reason. and that would leave the believer stuck under the law of jesus' word in mark 10:11-12 luke 16:18. i say law because anything a king speaks is law. john 6:63 says his words are spirit and life.

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

Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

You lusted after some married person you saw in your mind. How are you different than somebody who remarried? Okay, you never remarried, but you have lustful thoughts. Say you didn't remarry, you don't have lustful thoughts, but you have hateful thoughts, perhaps a temper? Is murder less than adultery? You covet some thing, like a car. Is idolatry less than adultery? Please, somebody tell me how you're going to clean up your mess, if a remarriage will send you to hell?

Not bound seems to me that they are not bound to be married to that person and there is no sin in them for letting them leave.

However, it does not say you may remarry, for remarriage unless in the case of death is adultery.

As it is written, he who unites with a prostitute is become one flesh with her. To become one flesh with someone is to marry them. Observing the rest of 1 Corinthians 7 it seems to me that a woman when married to a man is bound to him all of his life, but if he dies she may remarry. Though in Paul's opinion she'd be happier to remain unmarried.

If you divorce (except for adultery) or abandon a spouse, can you really be a Christian?

I disagree with you here my friend, because what you're teaching is that the believing spouse isn't bound "in marriage", yet isn't "free" to remarry, because why??? He or she is still bound by a former marriage.

I doesn't know what you are going with it, but do you believe that a man should stay married with a prostitute or still give her money to keep the relationship going?

8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,”[a] and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b] 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13

if you love your neighbor as yourself which is the second commandment, you won't have to worry about that mess.

if you know it is sin (adultry) against your living ex spouse to remarry, then you wouldn't remarry. it's not just adultery to divorce and remarry against yourself, it's against both man and wife. because the two are one flesh. the two will always be one flesh. you can't cut off the head from a body, it will die.

Hebrews 10:26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,
