Bible Question: is it a sin to marry a divorced woman |
Bible Answer: Greetings bjb61, You ask, "Is it a sin to marry a divorced woman?" Divorce was never part of God's original plan, and marriage was intended to be dissolved only when one of the marriage partners died (Rom. 7:1-3; 1 Cor. 7:8-9) and younger widows are advised to remarry (1 Tim. 5:14). Divorce is allowed only due to unfaithfulness (Matthew 19:9) and desertion (1 Cor. 7:15-16), and God's desire is for reconciliation (Eph. 4:32; Col. 3:13). But if all of this is in the past, then God forgives divorce (Col. 2:13) even though the consequences of past divorce remain. Blessings to you, Makarios |
