Matthew 5:32
But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Romans 13:1
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities (the laws they make). For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist (the laws they make) have been instituted by God.
You got to understand something about Dave L and he hasn't said it in this thread surprisingly. To him, Matthew 5:32 is Old Testament and not the New Testament. Yet, he considers the sermon on the mount to be for Christians today.
As you can see, he picks and chooses what it is for Christians today. It is not consistent across the board.
There are other scriptures which can be used as well for remarriage. One such is burning with passion.
I am divorced against my will. My wife divorced me. I am still young and and burn with passion. So, I was abandoned and burn with passion. Paul doesn't want me burning with passion because that leads one into many sins. Marriage/Remarriage in my instance is not sin. This has been established by priests in two different denominations as well as pastors in a couple that I have spoken to.
