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: New Creature: 1 Corinthians 7:15-40 I think you will find the context for remarriage but to a believer only. I have seen many who were so adomint that divorced Christians were adulters, and so judged those who had been through such hell as such. Then sometime later find thenselves in the situation themselves. Then they were seeking those who had been through divorce for help. I am careful not to make such judgements on divorced Christians. I can say that those who have been divorced carry enough pain without more guilt being burdened down on them. As fro "the guilty party" there is no such thing as a non guilty party. There is plenty of blame for all to be honest. I have seen some spouses push their mate into guilt so they could be free, and "guiltless." If one is not careful this becomes so legalistic, and black and white we fail to see the gray areas of sin. NO ONE IS EVER GUILTLESS! Christ died for sinners, Paul, as a saved person still said her was one of the worst of all(sinners). Are you and I any less? justme |
