NASB | Matthew 5:32 but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 5:32 but I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on grounds of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who has been divorced commits adultery. [Deut 24:1-4; Luke 16:18] |
Subject: based on Mt. 5:32 may I marry a divorced |
Bible Note: Morant61: Tim, I have a concern that some do not take in to consideration, what about Scripture that says that a unbeliever leaves a believer. Does not Scripture say the believer is free to marry only in the Lord? I have seen women abused emotionally by so called believers, and have ministers say they are to stay in this marriage. This is so wrong. In a time when divorced Christians are treated like second class Christians, I find two extremes. One that just is so accepting of divorce, and the other side calls anyone divorced an adulter. There is surely some better way to understand this in the eyes of Christ. I am under the opinion that David did it all. He murdered, lied, was not faithfull, and was an adulter. Yet it is said he was a man after Gods heart. I would love to have seen David meeting Uhra in heaven. If God can forgive David, then how can we not do the same? Scripture forbids a man or woman to go back to a person once a new marriage has taken place and ended. Is adultery an on going condition or a sin? How is it forgiven? I snot all sin forgiven the same way? Any thoughts are welcome. Blessings to you Tim. justme |
