Bible Question:
Widows and remarriage I have read all about the divorced entries and what God's word says about it. But where does a widow fall in? My husband is deceased and I want to know if a widow is allowed to marry a divorced man, and if so, based on what scripture? Thanks |
Bible Answer: When a person repents of their sin, the Lord casts it into the sea and does not hold that person's sin against them ever again. Divorce is not an unforgiveable sin. What should be examined is if the person is a changed person. Do they show evidence of a christ-like life? No one can advise you on personal matters because all the details are not known. There are plenty of divorced people who remarry and serve the Lord. There are 66 books of the bible. Most of them if not all of them talk about forgiveness. Even for those who have made mistakes in marriage. I hope this helps. Blessings - Val |
