1 | Adultery by both parties. Divorce? | NT general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 124624 | ||
Greetings Alanh! You are ignoring the last phrase of Mt. 19:9 - "...and marries another woman commits adultery." The divorce is not adultery. It is the divorce and REMARRIAGE that equals adultery, except for when the divorce was because of adultery. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Adultery by both parties. Divorce? | NT general Archive 1 | alanh | 124717 | ||
The remarriage in the case you are referring to would refer to any divorce then this is not so, but only to divorce where it was done for other reason than fornication (adultry, sexual immoralatry). Follow the meaning of divorce (apoluo) logically---i.e. what does it mean.] Please notice as I have shown you two cases are stated: 1) no divorce in the eyes of God 2) divorce in the eyes of God If you are saying REMARRIAGE means adultry then it only follows that both parties are still married and neither can remarry, but if one can remarry BECAUSE THEY ARE DIVORCED DUE TO UNFAITHFULNESS then both can remarry BECAUSE THEY ARE DIVORCED---NO LONGER MARRIED!!! The fact is God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). Couples should always try to work things out, even when marital unfaithfulness is involved. But when it cannot and divorce for fornication is the cause then the divorce applies to both parties one cannot still be married and commit adultry while the other cannot it is not logical nor is it what the Scriptures say. |

Greetings Alanh! The case you are making is simply not what the Scripture says my friend. Mt. 19:9 is quite specific. If a man divorces his wife (expect for fornication) AND remarries another woman, then he is committing adultery. The verse simply does not say that if divorced, both parties are free to remarry no matter what the reason for the divorce. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
