Unfaithful? If you mean by that what I think you do, it's a Biblical reason for divorce and you can remarry.I wanted to get people's opinion on Divorce in the AOG and COG churches. I was married for 9 years, we had one child, my son Gabriel. I got custody of our son, single full-time father. My ex was unfaithful, a horrible mother, and was not a Christian, she had turned her ear away from call of the Lord.
I attended a COG church in east TN for several years, but was never allowed to be a member. The pastor said marriage is forever, God does not allow divorce, and any woman you are with other than the woman you married, you are committing adultery. I have been divorced for 4 1/2 years, and can NEVER remarry or date another woman ever again, this he claimed to be gospel. He said that the only way I can make heaven is to never be involved with another women ever, there is not such thing as remarried. The is very hard for me, I will be 36yrs old on less than a month, I still feel like I have a lot more happiness I can share with someone.
What is your take on this?
Not a believer? If the unbeliever leaves, let him/her leave. God has called you to freedom. You can remarry.
I was married to a pastor who chatted and looking back, this was not a Biblical reason. We were both christians and in our case we both shouldn't have remarried, which I found out the hard way. We both remarried and divorced again and now both stay single. Maybe Paul and Jesus just wanted to spare us a lot of heartache by what they said and we shouldn't have twisted the Word. It's clear.
Our second divorce was not a sin. My second ex left me. He was an atheist. Still I don't want to remarry. I was desperate and looking on datingsites for divorced christians, who were also desperate. The Lord said to me personally: Marry Me, time is short.
