1 | Christian man wants to remarry | 1 Corinthians | mark d seyler | 170137 | ||
Hi Friend, Are you willing to obey the Word of God if it is clear to you? I can imagine you have already read the Scriptures that apply to divorce. If you haven't, simply enter "divorce" into the search box, and you can read them all. There are very few ways a marraige can end in God's eyes. If your spouse is an unbeliever, and leaves you because of that, you are not bound to them (1 Cor 7). The other is if your spouse dies (Romans 7). Even if your exwife remarries, I do not see in Scripture where you are free to remarry. Not everyone agrees on this. Many will tell you to go ahead and remarry. Many others will tell you to just wait for her to remarry, and then you can. But allow me to simply say this: I didn't believe God could salvage my life, but He did. And I believe with all my heart, because His Word tells us what He thinks of marraige, and of divorce, that His will for you is reconciliation with your exwife, and not that you would cleave to another. Love in Christ, Mark |

2 | Christian man wants to remarry | 1 Corinthians | afriend | 170145 | ||
Mark, My exwife divorced me. It was a very hostile divorce. She doesn't speak to me now. Are you telling me that I should stop living my life, give up the woman I love and try to reunite with a very hostile, angry exwife? I tried to reconcile but she would not accept it. How long am I supposed to put my life on hold? Didn't God bring this new Christian woman to me? Isn't that God's will? I feel that my life is a series of tests by God. Is this another test? |

afriend, God's day to you Some use 1 Corinthians 7:12-15 as a basis for divorce and remarriage. - The unbeliever is the one who leaves aka files for divorce. Your wife as the believer, violated God's Word ... so I would say in God's eyes you two are bound together. - Note there is no mention of remarriage ... and is marraige a bondage. While you could say you are a new creature (2 Cor 5:17) ... is that a basis for you to remarry? It could me, except that the passage above would but your wife in a bind. Now, you could go continue to ask until you get the answer you want. I hope that yougo ask your pastor, even show the passages you were given. You could even skip premartial counselling, to aviod the pastor saying no ... tho my brother got remarried and had premartial counselling when there was a divorce pending between two Christians. We do get tested by God all the time, to see if we follow His way or have it our way. Searcher |

Searcher, I am not asking looking for a certain answer. I really want to understand and I am getting different answers. My exwife is a believer but does not regularly attend church. She divorced me because she did not believe I could be faithful to her. She could not accept that I would have women as friends. I refused to be repressed by her from knowing and being friends with half of the people on the planet. She needed to have more faith. So, she walked away. I let her because I was happy in my new church group and I was falling in love with this other Christian woman. My exwife is not the same kind of Christian as this woman. My exwife lives a very moral and Christian life but she does not talk it or stay involved in the Church I attend. I have built my social life and friends in my new church friends. I do not believe my exwife would accept them and I do not believe my new friends would accept my exwife. So, I have rejected my exwife for my new Church and my new friends in some ways. I have grown to love the woman I met at church. She is a part of my new social circle and we have built a God centered relationship. I just want to understand if God forgives us and I am legally divorced. Can I marry this Christian woman and be following God's will? |

Ask God to make it known to you if this new marriage would be His Will. He will answer you by either destroying what you are trying to build or blessing it. Only God will be able to give you the answer you are looking for, not people. You must try to work with God according to his counsel given in terms of actions and events working in your life. But do not fight the Lord by rejecting his signs even after you have asked for them. He will lead you to the answers you seek and direct your paths according to His Will. (Matthew 5:31-32) Jesus, Himself, declared that a man can not marry a divorced woman unless for the cause of fornication. Therefore, if the woman you have a relationship with now was divorced under terms of fornication, that is she was faithful in her relationship, but the spouse was not, then she is not considered an adulteress woman. Therefore, it would be accepted in God's eyes to marry her. But if she was unfaithful to the spouse and caused the divorce, this would not be accepted, for that covenant was illegally annulled. According to the Scriptures, your only choice is to be single and serve God as an individual or to marry a non-divorced woman providing that the present woman was not faithful in her past marriage. But truly, the best advice is to follow the first counsel given up above. |
