1 | re-marriage after divorce | 1 Cor 7:15 | JesusInMyHrt | 88046 | ||
This is a tricky question. Did this affair occur before or after Salvation? Whatever we have done before receiving Christ, is wiped clean. Christ died as a ransom for our sins. If we are truly sorry for what we have done before receiving him and repent, those sins are forgiven which would make it alright in the eyes of God for us to marry. If the affair occurred by the believer after salvation then read Matthew Chapter 19:1-12. According to this chapter, the husband in this case did not know that his wife had an affair and he is free to marry if the unbelieving wife divorced him. On the other hand, if he did not know of the affair and he left the unbeliever, he would be committing adultary should he remarry. The bible states that God hates divorce and that even though a believer is married to an unbeliever, that is not reason for divorce if the unbeliever is willing to live with them. Read the entire 7th Chapter of 1 Corinthians, this should make this clearer to you. I pray that this helps you. Love In Christ.....Barb | ||||||
2 | re-marriage after divorce | 1 Cor 7:15 | JuanMas | 113643 | ||
It's not tricky at all - but very simple. Mat 19:9 and Mat 5:32 both state that "... he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery". This would imply that forgiven or not forgiven, remarriage in this case is still forbidden until she becomes a widow. The previous marriage was not sinful, therefore it still exits in spite of the "illegal divorce". And it certainly was not wiped away with the persons other sins if Salvation was received. It was Jesus who told the adulterous woman to "go and sin no more" and these same words would have applied to her. At the time of their divorce, she should have read and followed 1 Cor 7:10-11 and "remained unmarried or reconcile to her husband". However, since she has remarried another, it is not possible to reconcile (Deut 24:4) and so the answer to your question is: They are in an adulterous marriage. To "go and sin no more" would mean getting out of this state of sin. |
