Hello One & All,
I hope all is well.
This morning (5/26), I have found out that my dad remarried his ex-wife and I am very angry about it.
Everybody on my Dad's side of the family knows how bad she treated me as well as the rest of my family members. My dad had enough of it, and divorced her 3 years ago. Now, he's gone back with her and remarried her.
I remember about 3 years ago, I went to church with my dad and grandmother, and the Pastor's sermon covered divorce and remarriage. The Pastor said that there's nothing wrong with getting married again after being divorced, but he said that remarrying your ex-spouse is a sin.
Is it really a sin if one remarries an ex-spouse? If so, where can I find the scripture(s) in the Bible? Please let me know. Thank you all so much![/QU
Well, I understand you and it seems that your dads wife is not your mother. I can not find in the bible remarrige the same wife is a sin. According the scripture like Romans 7, 1-3;
"Know you not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? 2 For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he lives; but if the husband dies, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband lives, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband dies, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she is married to another man."
As i understand the scripture, all remarrige is sin, except the same woman! I know that today people, even pastors find a way to legalize remarrige. It is their responsibility! But If someone will follow the scripture he should not remarrige, after divorce.
