2nd Divorce

[angel82]

Hi, I hope someone can give me some christian insight into a nagging question.
I know the bible does not condone divorce, however these are my circunstances.
My first marriage lasted 17 years and I was married to an abusive alcoholic
he left me. My second marriage was to a person from another country and when I attempted to bring him here I seemed to run into constant roadblocks
with imigration, I also was finnally aware that he was more interested in my
money than in our marriage and our life together here. So after four years I divorced him. Now comes the question in christian beliefs can I re-marry if i find Mr. Right, someone hopefully with my Christian beliefs and dedication to living a fully Christian life.

Yes you can. I can send you a link to a site I can't post here, but there is nothing wrong with remarriage after DIVORCE, there is a problem with remarriage if you are only 'put out' and do not have a divorce. It is a doctrine of demons to forbid people to marry.

...don't get unequally yoked.Were either of these men saved?Christian marriages end in
divorce too...better start off obedient!Why do men and women in this country have to go around the globe to find a mate.Your next husband is probably sitting next to you in church. I 've always asked God for a new wife at my church. He can bring one in Can't he?

I totally agree on the unequally yoked! We shouldn't even date someone who is not! It's why I'm polite to those who try, but I'll never lead them on nor consider them even remotely! I've already been unequally yoked. It won't happen again.

I've glanced around my church from time to time, but all I see are families. I even volunteer for everything from the Vaction Bible Schools, Fesitvals and teaching the CCD, but still just married me. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that there are so many families entact! In fact I love that! I watch them and wish I had what they had, solid foundation with Christ Jesus as their cementing bond!

I guess it's not for me anymore.

So angel ... like he said, if you're going to consider it again, become solid friends in faith first.

Oh my goodness!!! It is truly sad to see websites that preach something so unbiblical to others!

If you want 'put away' and 'divorced' in the same passage, here you are...

Matthew 5

31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

The two words are used in the same passage and Jesus explicitly says here that whoever marries her that is divorced commits adultery! So whether there is a difference between putting away and divorcing doesn't matter because Jesus used the word divorce in this case anyway.

God bless you...

Yes the two words are used, and in the Greek, they are the same word. So actually the fact that there is a difference does matter, and Jesus didn't use divorce in this case.

I'm always amazed that the Bible clearly says forbidding people to marry is a doctrine of demons, yet it's glanced over because we don't realize what we're doing. That to me is sad.

cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her
when she is PUT AWAY committeth adultery.

for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband;
and whoever takes her as his wife after she is PUT AWAY, is no true husband
to her.

(Darby) But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except for
cause of fornication, makes her commit adultery, and whosoever marries one
that is PUT AWAY commits adultery.

cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her

fornication, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever shall marry the one
PUT AWAY commits adultery.

(MKJV) But I say to you that whoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause
of fornication, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever shall marry her who is
PUT AWAY commits adultery.

committed adultery. If he does send her away, he is making her commit adultery.
And if a man marries a woman who has been sent away from her husband, he
commits adultery.’

(Youngs Literal Translation) But I—I say to you, that whoever may PUT AWAY
his wife, save for the matter of whoredom, doth make her to commit adultery; and
whoever may marry her who hath been PUT AWAY doth commit adultery.
