Question

Is it only a divorced woman that shouldn't remarry? Does the same apply to a divorced man?

In the Gospels, Jesus Christ does not teach that divorce is sin. Instead, He speaks of remarriage being potential sin for those divorced.
■ Matthew 5 vs 31 - 32

31 “It was also said, ‘Any man who divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.’
32 But I tell you that any man who divorces his wife, except for the problem of sexual sin, is causing his wife to be guilty of adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman is guilty of adultery. - Matthew 5 vs 31 - 32

■ Matthew 19 vs 7 - 9

7 The Pharisees asked, “Then why did Moses give a command allowing a man to divorce his wife by writing a certificate of divorce?”
8 Jesus answered, “Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because you refused to accept God’s teaching. But divorce was not allowed in the beginning.
9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for the problem of sexual sin, and marries another woman is guilty of adultery.” - Matthew 19 vs 7 - 9

■Mark 10 vs 10- 12

10 Later, when the followers and Jesus were in the house, they asked him again about the question of divorce. 
11 He said, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman has sinned against his wife. He is guilty of adultery. 
12  And the woman who divorces her husband and marries another man is also guilty of adultery.” - Mark 10 vs 10- 12

■ Luke 16 vs 18

18 “Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is guilty of adultery. And the man who marries a divorced woman is also guilty of adultery.” - Luke 16 vs 18

Remarriage as potential sin, as you see from the combined teachings above, applies to both divorced men and women.

Ok. So this is also saying the Bible doesn't permit polygamy right?

nenyewrites:

First and foremost, this isn't your Bible saying anything. Instead it is God's Law and Covenant in the Kingdom of God, Jesus Christ, giving you commandments to live by.

Second, there is no law given you by Jesus Christ that suggests polygamy a sin.

I'm afraid it applies to divorced women only. Scripturally, women only have the power of separation, not divorce.

My reply was tailored to fit the question from the OP who's asking about divorced people (man or woman). The question is simplified thus: "does it apply to a divorced man?"

Question

Is it only a divorced woman that shouldn't remarry? Does the same apply to a divorced man?

And my answer is simple. A woman in the first place, by scripture, doesn't have the power of divorce. She can at best separate or be joined back to her husband or remain separated for the rest of her life.

Luke 16 : 18 talks about intents while the question from the OP is centered on after the deed.

Kobojunkie:

To what purpose is it, delving into scriptural waters with you, Kobojunkie?

You have refused to grasp common, everyday scriptural truths. So?

I'm afraid, your question springs from your thirst for heretic postulation.

Luke 16 : 18 I'm afraid is a different matter altogether.

From your earlier response, you alluded that a divorced man can remarry but a divorced woman can't. The OP's question was never who has the power to divorce. So the Luke's quotation counters your position.

On a lighter note, that verse focused the adultery on men! If e divorce marry another woman, he becomes an adulterer, if a man go marry a divorced woman he becomes an adulterer.....dem no mention what the woman is in both scenarios.

My earlier submission was clear; if a woman doesn't have the power to divorce, then there is no scripturally based divorced men. So I couldn't have alluded that because there's no divorced men in the scriptural sense.

Luke was emphasizing on divorce outside the sin of adultery by the woman.

The sole purpose of Luke's take on that subject matter is thus; any man who divorce his wife outside the ambit of the law commits adultery with the new wife and the man who marries the divorced wife also commits adultery. This is not about "divorced men" which is the original basis for the question by the OP.


There's nothing like a divorced man scripturally. However the sexual sin of a man might be, it doesn't give the woman the right to divorce. She can only separate. Hence there's no scriptural provision for a woman to remarry unless by death of her husband. And no matter how she was divorced, whether scripturally lawful or otherwise, she's barred from remarrying because she remains the wife of her husband. And even when she's divorced lawfully owing to her committing adultery, she still can't remarry.

For men, it is narrowed down to only when the wife is sexually unfaithful. He can divorce and remarry.

So, while Luke points us to the reality of a man committing adultery by unlawful divorce and remarrying, it doesn't answer to "divorced men" remarrying. And this is what I think the OP was asking.

The Samaritan woman Jesus Christ met at the well - John 4 vs 1 - 42 ?

2. She divorced her many husbands and was probably considering a 6th. Ofcourse this is all before Jesus Christ showed up to teach an entirely New and different Law from the Old Law. .
