Humanity will always win over religion ! Same bible that says you shouldn’t remarry will still say no fornication ! So you marry a terror and proceed to have an unhappy marriage- you divorce then you have to remain celibate without sex nor a companion? It’s all these rubbish irrational dogma that will eventually kill religion ! You can’t subvert the will of humans - it’s just not possible!
Bible is not Religion.
Bible is The Word of GOD! That's why all effort to Cripple the Bible has failed.... it's GOD'S WORD

The catholic church is one church that finds it very difficult to annul marriages ,I am a catholic and I know that the church is beginning to soft pedal based on current realities. My parish alone has had three annulments this year alone.I was just looking at the priest today when he was preaching against separation and I was asking myself shebi this guy has forgotten so soon.

I am a born, baptised and confirmed catholic as well. But i guess this varies according to different parishes. But one thing i believe is that the bible is accessible to all and we can always find answers there despite using the bulletin on Sundays and weekday masses cheesy.

Many churches these days are misleading the parishioners and many carry this same mentality of whatsoever my parish priest or pastor says is the ultimate. Sacrament of marriage isn't a joke and if you must join with another in marriage, you must fully be ready for the outcome and not chicken out when the challenges surface.

In the same catholic church, i have seen a situation that a man that wedded the 1st wife, left her and got involved with another woman and he was also wedded again in the same catholic church. Petitions were written and then Archbishop okogie took the matter up but i don't know what the outcome was sha.

I don't think the Catholic Church is soft pedalling but rather it's the some parishes that soft pedal

No bro... are u reading the same bible am Reading?
if you have a Red lettered Bible you will notice that those words were by JESUS HIMSELF..

Matthew 19:9
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.

Sorry sir, u did comprehension in school, right?

This part, read it slowly again 'except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery'

Now let me ask u sir... According to Jesus... Do u still commit a sin if u divorce and marry another wife or another husband if it's because of fornication ur spouse commit?

Hmmmm...I will have to reconfirm this from the holy book. My understanding was that the only grounds for divorce is adultery and after which any of the both parties can remarry.

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.



Read your bible with Understanding bro..
To get the full understanding read den to verse 12..
Facts from that Scripture
1.Putting away your spouse for infidelity is not a License to Remarry....

2. Only death is Permitted by the Bible to separate a Man and Wife..

3. Re-marrying while your Orginal spouse is alive is an act of Adultery..

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

What can I say?

All I know is that if you are in a marriage where you are being abused,cheated on or unhappy and you feel that the best way to regain your sanity is by divorcing such a spouse.Feel free and if you find love again remarry whether your ex is alive or dead.

How can one who is divorced remain single and not enjoy their life with another because the ex is still alive.

Seriously some of these Jewish laws need to accommodate the 21st century reality.

One thing I have come to understand is this, humans always want what they want. This is very bad. Before you marry, know all that concerns marriage, it isn't a simple business deal, u walk in and easily work out from. If you know u can't do what is necessary incase certain mishaps occur, then don't marry. If you know u can't remain single after divorce, then don't marry. Stop using words like happiness, abuse etc to justify certain things. It's clear as day, u can only divorce in the case of infidelity on the part of your partner. So anytime you partner acts unaccordingly u chicken out because u ain't happy. Marriage isn't business deals. God holds it seriously and that's what will send many people to hell on the last day.

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 ?
