1 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | Tamara Brewington | 205317 | ||
Dear John, I am not trying to belabor this overly much dear heart, but something keeps niggling at my heart and my brain... It is the concept of being called to suffer in order to obey Christ as having first place before personal discomfort, "but if you burn, marry". I am thinking abuot another verse, "God will not test/tempt (which ever translation) you beyond what you are able, but will make a way out (usually, but not always a spiritualy one). Here is a concept to consider; if someone were a fornicator and then repented of their sin, but did not come out of that relationship would we still be saying that they are going to heaven? According to I Corinthians, I do not think so... Why then do we make this big allowance for Christians who remarry after divorce saying it is too late to change it, someone committed adultery on them (the text in Mark makes no such claim about adultery being the cause of the divorce that subsequently remarrying means it is adultery, only that marrying a divorced person constitutes adultery). And no, I do not think God want us to allow His child to be bound up and in mental pain and heart ache, but we are called to suffer Christ in order to obey Him when things don't go our way. What do you think? God Bless, Tam |

Hi Tamara: The answer to your question is, NO. Christians should not get remarried after a divorce. If you can find the words of the marriage ceremony. I have to qualify the answer though, because there are two types of marriage, that take place. 1) In a Church sanctioned by a Religion. That falls into the category of, in the sight of GOD. The person taking the Vows, fully understands, what they mean, in the eyes of the Religion. 2) In a Court, that is sanctioned by the State. In this type of marriage, GOD still sees, and holds us to the Vows taken, because marriage is HIS institution. But in a Civil Ceremony, they do not use the Line, In the sight of God. This was just for the purpose of distinction. We as the participants in a Marriage, are still held to the Vows. I think you will find in the Vows , the line, (Forsaking All Others), God does not like for us to get divorced, But he allows it, because of the Hardness of OUR hearts, as with the Jews. We are still held to the Vow (Forsaking All Others). as long as you do not remarry, for the rest of your life, it is ok, (not right) but ok. But the moment you do remarry, the VOW is then broken, and you are then held responsible. You at that moment, are an Adulterer. 31) It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 33) Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34) But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35) Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36) Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37) But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. It is better not to marry, but if you must, you will be held to the Vows you make. God does not take Vows lightly. God Bless Jim |
