    The Argument for Divorce

    Hello! So I’ve been debating with myself over the idea of divorce and remarriage. I was wondering if anyone had any compelling Biblical arguments in the favour of divorce/remarriage

    The Bible's Laws on Divorce and Remarriage.

    Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery (Matthew 5:32). In Matthew 19:9 it says: “Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery;" Some think you can divorce for other...

    Prayer Request To remarry or not to remarry? That is the momentous question

    Matthew 5:32 states very clearly that if I remarry I am an adulteress. So then does that either mean adultery can be forgiven by staying single for the rest of my life? Or can I marry another divorcee (or someone who was promiscuous but repented of those ways) and be a helper to a man's walk...

    Gay Marriage

    If you lead a gay friend to Christ who happens to be legally married to a same-sex partner...would it be a sin for them to divorce? What about remarriage in a heterosexual relationship?

    Mark 6:17 - Divorce or Remain Faithful?

    Mark 6:17 - For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.

    Divorce and Remarriage

    I'm glad you asked. If you look carefully at I Corinthians 7, you will see Paul first introduces the overall subject of how necessary marriage is, and how it is supposed to work, in verses 1-6. But then he says each person has his own gift from God, as pertains to marriage. And then, he...

    Is Communion for Divorced and Remarried People Really a Doctrinal Issue?

    Some conservative Catholics are implying that the Pope and/or certain bishops are heretical, because they seem to be opening the door in some circumstances for communing people who have divorced and remarried. Leaving aside for the moment that I view true religion as something that should...

    Exploring Adultery

    In Matthew 5:32, why does Jesus make the statement: Whoever divorces his wife makes her practice adultery, and whoever a divorced woman marries is practicing adultery.

    Remarried Pastor/Friends/Family committing Adultery

    Hey all. I have quite a difficult question I am hoping to get some great answers to. How would a Christian gently and lovingly lead others who are remarried Christians away from their sin of adultery? According to Matthew 19:9, Jesus states that remarriage is adultery. In Ezekiel, we are...
