The Bible condemns re-marrying when your spouse is still alive; but why do some pastors encourage it?? Are they reading newspaper or the Bible?? Some churches even join couples who have divorced and spouse is still alive..

The only supported re-marriage is when ones spouse is dead...

Re- Marrying while your spouse is alive is Adultery, No matter who conducts such Marriage.... Infact it's not a marriage.. it's an act of Immorality!

That is wrong, a validly married person can't be remarried while their patner is still alive unless he is an unbeliever according to paul.

Even after divorce and both parties have gone their separate ways? I guess that's one reason why people don't follow what the Bible says and write their own!

civil divorce does not seperate a valid marriage according to Jesus any attempt to remarry is adultery.

Oh well, he divorced her (or vice versa) they were 28 at the time with no kids. Most people would rather get on with their life and remarry than wait for their ex to die, while some might just kill the ex if they believe they shouldn't remarry till ex dies.

Wasn't Jesus just against divorce anyway?

Matt 19:6-9
v9"I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, EXCEPT FOR MARITAL UNFAITHFULNESS, and marries another woman commits adultery"

From a biblical standpoint, Jesus himself approved divorce when one or both spouses goes outside the marriage arena , which violates the marriage union (Hebrew 13:4. 1 Cor 7:2).

The other option is forgiveness, if U don't wanna go the divorce route (Col 3:12-14) "Bear with each other & forgive whatever grievances you may have against another."

Pls shine your eyes here.... with understanding.
If a spouse quits his /her marriage, to carry on with another woman/man, that spouse is guilty of defilement of the marriage union. He is an unbeliever (who no longer believes in) your marriage,so let him/her go. Nsogbu adighi.
Pls Go obtain a legal divorce & set yourself free to remarry again.

"But if an unbeliever leaves, let him/her do so. A believing man or woman is NOT BOUND IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES. " 1 Cor 7:15.

Because she divorced a serial cheat & Casanova, make she no marry again ?
Dump that crap into a dustbin!!!
.
Go & marry again. It's your God-given right. "For God has called you to live in peace".

TRUE LIFE Story...
A married couple lived together for a decade with out any issues. The man was a serial cheat & philanderer. He infected her with STD.& coupled with taunts from in laws over her childless state. She was heartbroken.
She meticulously gathered all the evidence she needed & eventually sued for divorce. The Court of Law annulled the marriage.

Today this woman has remarried & she is a proud mother of two kids in a happy & stable marriage..

God allows divorce & it's NO SIN to remarry when your former spouse is alive.

God has called you to peace not man made bondage or stigma.

Bro Read the Bible with Understanding..

Matthew 19:6-9 is very clear...

V.9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

If you hv to put away your wife, you are not permitted to Marry another woman.

The Bible says Marriage is till death do you part.. The Bible cannot contradict itself..

Death is the the only thing permitted for a man to Re-Marry..

GOD even hates Divorce see Malachi 2:16

Bro , God hates sin but accepts repentant sinners (2chr 33:1,6,10-13). Likewise God hated the divorce that ancient Israelites obtained on flimsy excuses. "Jesus replied ,'Moses permitted you to divorce your wife because your hearts were hard.'." Mal 2:14, Matt 19:3,7,8.

Jesus said "MARITAL UNFAITHFULNESS" (adultress/adulterer) of either spouse is a valid reason for divorce, that is dissolution of the marriage covenant. Matt 19:9.
If that marriage union is not properly dissolved, U commit adultery when U marry him/her.
Apostle Paul said that death dissolves a marriage covenant. Romans 7:2,3 .

Going by Jesus explicit statement in Matt19:9 & Paul's epistle in Rom7:2,3, "By Law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive".
In other words , a woman divorced for "marital unfaithfulness" is not bound to any husband whether dead or alive.
That is, a woman/man commits adultery when she/he marries someone whose marriage union (that is, their previous marriage ) was not properly dissolved, (either traditionally by the refund of bride price or a Court of Law). The violation of a covenant by either party to the agreement renders it null & void.
The proper dissolution of any marriage sets both partners free.

embarassed

This is why muslims make jest of christian doctrines. Some christian cant explain or seems not comprehend whta is written in the bible.

The bible makes it explicitly clear that you are only allowed to file for divorce only if one of the spouse committed adultery and only if you deem it fit not to forgive him/her.Then, file for divorce and remarry.

Mathew 19:8-9 says Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

The bible went further and talk about how he sees people that divorced their spouse for any reason except sexual immorality,

Malachi 2:16 says 16 “The man who hates and divorces his wife,” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “does violence to the one he should protect,” says the LORD Almighty. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful.

They don show again!!! Some people just follow the bible sheepishly, so cos the spouse is alive he should not marry again but to keep hoping from one woman to another to satisfy his sexual urge n emotional needs? Have you ever had a critical thinking of books of Paul to see that he is sort of an extremist and discriminatory gender based? Do you ever think of his background before he met Christ and how all this reflects in his teachings? If you comply with the biblical teachings sheepishly and strictly trust me you would have been homicidal or committed suicide @op. Biko...live n let's live. It's Chris Attoh's live not yours so stop the judgement!!!

Marriage, Divorce and remarriage is allowed under certain conditions. U should read Paul's epistles to get this picture clear.

Bro Biblically there is nothing like proper dissolution of marriage.. Only Death permits a Man or Woman to Re-Marry.....

A Woman whose Husband is a serial beater can leave the house to save her Life... but is not Permitted to Re-marry..

If you can't forgive your spouse due to infidelity or whatever you are not Permitted to Re-marry. Except for Death sake

Re-marriage is possible when

— one partner cheats on the other

— one partner decides to divorce another (the other partner being a Christian is not mandated to forcefully keep the one leaving)

— one partner dies

This is why it is very very necessary to take steps to ensure you're making the right decision before tying the knot with someone.

This rule sounds harsh in fact l have never heard or read such before, there are many ways divorce can occur in marriage aside from infidelity as long as it makes sense. In Islam, divorce can happen in any form or way as long as it is in line with Islamic law.
