Subject: re-marriage after divorce |
Bible Note: 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. |
