What if both parties did not remarry after their divorce, is it a sin for both of them to explore each other once in a while even though they are no more legally bound by the marital clause?

Would they be seen as fornicating (in the sight of God) if they got divorced and still get together once in a while for a touch down

These questions are not that easy to answer afterall some separated couples still bound legally by marriage get together once in while and tango and are seen as cheating when they see other people while separated

How is the woman sinning? By knowingly and willingly enabling the man commit fornication. The woman's sinfulness arises from the man's sinfulness.

If I knowingly help a person commit sin, I can't claim that on a technicality, I'm not actually the person sinning.

How did the woman help her husband in committing adultery?. Naija guys ehn, they always want to give Adam's excuse to all their shortcomings.

Spare us the gender bleating. God's laws serve a higher purpose. The purpose of the indissolubility of marriage is to strenghten the family as the building block of society.

The whole essence of their relationship is a booty call. It doesn't serve God's purpose but subverts it. In essence, what you guys are saying is that if a couple, married for the first time, were to go their separate ways. They are free to sleep with each other in perpetuity because they are only consumating their indissoluble marriage. Utter nonsense.

In practice, the man will be unable to carry on his two timing without the help of the ex-wife. In God's eyes, not that I speak for God, they would be subverting the purpose of his law and as a result are commiting a sin.

I think the divorced woman should remain single in order to avoid contaminating other men with the sin of adultery. "Afterall, she has had had children by her first husband". What does she need sex now for. In fact, my advice to her is this - have a clitorectomy and you will be fine. This is what Jesus said:

Luke 16:18
Every one who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.

No2Atheism:

1. The unfortunate truth is that "Divorce" is a very tricky case,

2. Technically a man and a woman cannot be divorced as far as spiritual matters are concerned, its just the hardness and ori kun kun of human beings that try to force the hand of the Creator in issues relating to marriage and divorce.

3. Hence[i] technically[/i] the man's marriage to the second wife is not really official as far as spiritual matters are concerned. Hence technically the man does not have a license to shag the second wife. Cus his subscription to the first wife is technically supposed to last forever.

4. Hence it can be argued from a spiritual point of view that the woman and the former husband still have a right to shag each other crazy again and again because they are already joined together forever spiritually the first time the became publicly and officially married.

5. Reality however is that its all just one big messy case of Adultery/Infidelity/Lust, whether divorce is ratified by law or not.

6. @DayoKanu wetin you want take Karmamods picture do, abeg wayo wayo, you dey look for trouble oh,  , just kidding,

biina:

Please explain the part in bold

No2Atheism:

which kind of explanation wantest u

No2Atheism:

As far as i remember and understand, the technicality comes from the fact that Adultery is the only excuse permitted as a ground for "divorce" in the bible, and to make it worse "both of them are not permitted to remarry" after divorce, infact any other sex with anyone else after divorce is considered "adultery".

Hence you see, whether or not the husband and first wife get divorced or not, the husband still does not have a spiritual right to start servicing another woman. His subscription to lawful consensual sex still remains locked with the first woman forever.

lady bam:

osisi2:


The scenario of this discussion is that the woman is a Christian.
That is the main crux of the matter.

TmeD0:



ok, here's a twist to the whole thing: what if in the process of their occasional booty call (which is what it is, spare me the love bologna), the woman gets pregnant. 
now tell me if that's not a messed up situation then i don't know what is. 

itstpia8:
