Subject: Can a divorced person remarry? |
Bible Note: JVH0212: Thanks for the elaborateness. However scripture still holds no water for condoning divorce as far as it is clearly understood by myself. One point is that Jesus first states a condition for divorce, and that is in the case of fornication. However Jesus does not state at any point that remarriage after divorce is acceptable. I say this because the first part of the statement is cut short to indicate this exception, and continues the statement that once that person is divorced remarriage is adultery. This makes more sense in the whole context of scripture regarding marriage. The other related scriptures support this to a greater degree. Matt 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." I am yet to be convicted of believing otherwise. I have prayed about it and I trust the Lord that this be of simple anointed understanding, and not of confusion in condoning that which seems of the flesh and unprofitable. God bless, Louder... |
