Telling people that divorce by grounds of sexual immorality is not false teaching, as that is one way that releases the bond of adultery on the one who did not commit the act.
Example: If a woman cheats on her husband, and he divorces her and then later marry's another woman who has never been married or also got a divorce because her husband cheated on her. Then neither one is guilty of adultery in that marriage...............

Number one your OP is way to long, and second I will just stick to what the bible says.
And Matthew 5:32 and 19:9 does not contradict Mark and Luke, that would be you making them contradict. I would first start off with saying to you that Mark and Luke were not part of the original 12. Mark was in discipleship under Peter's guidance and Luke was in discipleship under Paul's guidance. So it is fair to say they did not have or give all the same information that Matthew was given. As I have told others you have to use scripture to interpret scripture to get the full meaning. Because if you just go by a few you will get the wrong context, and the same goes with if you take two writers and make something that does not contradict, contradict................
P
so when god forgives its not a fresh start, he doesn't truly forgive but holds the offence against you. theres the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. the situation was an example not a reality. i do actually council people and i pray that this advice is never given to anybody going through marriage difficulties.
when the women caught in adultery was taken to Jesus by the legalists. the only one left right with Jesus was the women not the legalists. and he sent her away saying sin no more. i wonder if when Jesus said those without sin cast the first stone. some here would have been stone throwing.

You are acknowledging that Mark and Luke are not in agreement with Matt WHEN fornication is assumed to mean adultery (in that context of 5:32 and 19:9).
Under the 'divorce in betrothal' explanation of the exception clause then there is no disunity between the two sides. That is because the kind of exception clause it becomes under the 'divorce in betrothal' explanation provides NO permission to do what is being discussed.
The two differences in explanation of what the exception clause is talking about make the entire sentence (Matt 5:31,32) to function in two entirely different ways.
But you wouldn't know what I am talking about since you choose to not read the OP.

Please slow down and think slowly and carefully.
The forgiveness you are referring to includes the forgiving of the marriage itself. Can a marriage itself be forgiven? Is a marriage itself a sin? Sin is what is forgiven. Holy things, such as entering into the God-ordained institution of marriage, are not forgiven. Or do you have some kind of special authority to designate as a sin what God designates as holy?
Do not blaspheme God by saying a marriage itself can be designated as a sin, and thereby forgiven, in order to get out from under what God says marriage does.
Marriage binds the two parties as one flesh; a very high level of respect pronounced by God over the couple, the same high honour as what Adam and Eve enjoyed.

All the versions above that used something other than "fornication" were paraphrasing and not translating when it came to the word equivalent to fornication.
Even if the paraphrasers or translators did not understand the verse, their duty was to faithfully transmit from Greek straight into English. They instead changed it because they thought they were giving the correct interpretation and so thought they were doing God service. In reality they raped the Word of God.
In the first Century they had two kinds of divorces, for fornication and for something done AFTER getting married. The one done for fornication was done BEFORE marriage.
So you deny that there existed a premarital divorce for fornication?
What possible reason can you come up with that that particular premarital divorce was NOT what the exception clause referred to? The OP shows that only when Matt 5:31,32 is read to be understood that the exception clause refers to that premarital divorce, does the sentence function competently. One of the most powerful evidences AGAINST the divorce for adultery explanation of the exception clause is Matt 5:31,32.
In Greek they have a word for adultery (post marital sexual offense)
.
They have a word for fornication
They have a word for unfaithfulness
They have a word for immorality.
The Greek word used for the exception clause is porneia, the English equivalent being fornication. The versions you have that used something else are simply wrong.
