1 | Please help me understand divorce. | 1 Cor 7:1 | believer31675 | 167659 | ||
My current boyfriend is divorced.I know that in the bible it states that divorce is a sin and should not occur. You see his wife asked ofr the divorce and decided to leave him. He and I love each other. Now, if he were to marry me, in the eyes of the bible he is committing adultery because he will not be with she who he was first married. Am I correct? Next, where does that leave me? I have never been married. Am I committing a sin by being with him because he is divorced? I do not want to go against God and the Bible but I also love this man very much and want to spend my life with him. Can this be done? Please help me to understand this better. | ||||||

Dear believer, Thanks for sharing your concerns. Though this Forum is not intended for specific counselling, I can give you some general guidence: 1. I assume both of you are believers in the the Lord Jesus Christ? If you are, it's important to realize that though God takes the covenant of marriage seriously, divorce is not the unpardonable sin. Christ's forgiveness extends to broken marriages as much as any other sin. 2. I would read, re-read and meditate upon the entire 7th chapter of 1 Corinthians! I think you'll find the answers to your concerns there. Be diligent in Prayer about it and seek the guidence of your Pastor, elder or other mature believers. Remember, there is wisdom in a multitude of counselors! (Prov. 11:14, 15:22, 19:20) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Brad, Thank you for your response. Ireallywasn't asking in the counseling sense so much as a biblical sense. I was wondering if there was something in the bible that referred to me personally, since I am not divorced snd he is. However, he and I are both Christian believers. The divorce hurt him immensely...but is he prohibited from moving if the woman he married divocred him?? Are there any references to something like this? I appreciate all of your help Brad. |

Hi believer, Again, I would encourage you to check and read (i.e. study) 1 Cor. 7, particularly verses 25-40. Additionally, you might note the permanent and intimate bond, Matt. 19:5-6. I would offer that as fornication excludes remarriage- Matt.5:32- that there is no direct prohibition against him re-marrying! You both need to do as you as you feel lead of the Lord through prayer, study of His Word and mature counsel:-) May this guide you. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
