Here's a link to a site called Divorce Hope which will put your mind at rest..

http://www.divorcehope.com/peopleinamarriageinstitution.htm

I don't know if this will help, but these people who tell you that you must leave your husband and return to your first husband are going against God's word:


(Deu 24:1) "When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out from his house,

(Deu 24:2) and she leaves his house and goes and becomes another man's wife,

(Deu 24:3) and if the latter husband turns against her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her to be his wife,

(Deu 24:4) then her former husband who sent her away is not allowed to take her again to be his wife, since she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the LORD, and you shall not bring sin on the land which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance.

I became a Christian as a child, I was sent to foster homes because of the abuse at home and then was sent back to my parents...I wandered away from God like the prodigal son, I messed up my life living in sin, I did everything wrong, then I came back and rededicated my life to Christ, I asked forgivness and promised to stay straight and have been for over a year, but now I want to live evry moment to God's glory, I want to do everything right and I do not know how. I am being told to leave my husband, I do not know if that is right, I am praying for him. If God wants me to leave him I will, no doubt, but I do not know if that is right. I just feel totally condemned right now, like no matter what I do I am gkoing to hell. I am trying so hard to be everything God wants me to be but I think it is too late.

:wave: Hello. Sorry you went through what you did.


:doh: My human husband says: "woulda, coulda, shoulda". I think a lot of us have had those moments.

I was trying to flip through to find Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit when I landed on Romans 1:38 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
I also found other verses like Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.

Did these people claim that they stopped sinning completely and totally altogether as soon as they acepted Christ? Because that is something that even Paul seemed to struggle with according to Romans 7:15 and on For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Pay really close attention to the green. Just because a person becomes saved, it does not mean they stop sinning. When David sinned by committing adultery/fornication with Bathsheba, did he go to Hell or did he remain the apple of God's eye? True he lost his first child with Bathsheba, and true he was not allowed to build the temple for God that he wanted to build (I would think to please God too). God will chastize those whom he loves (it's somewhere in the NT, & you can do a "Bible verse ...." search and where the ... put in the words for the verses that pertain to that if you need more information on any of this). Do you think David was allowed to go back in time to undo what he did? Nope, he had to deal with the consequences.True, God hates divorce For it covers one's germent with violence (Malachi 2:1), but does this mean you should yet again do something which HE hates just because people tell you to?
I am not God that I can read your heart, but God can read your heart. And for your wanting to please God, for that I am glad .
Luke 6:36-38 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Five, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you. Luke 6:41 And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye?.
As far as you committing an unforgivable sin: Luke 12:10 And anyone who speaks word against the Son of Man, will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven. Now even though the subject of what is blaspheming the Holy Spirit can be and probably has been debated, I do not think divorce and remarriage falls under that subject of blaspheming you.
Luke 15:7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Also there's the story of the prodigal son versus the one who remained in the father, and to whom did the father run to? Luke 15:20 And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. Let's re-examine this one: But when he was a great way off (he was returning with a very meek and humble attitude of repentance) his father saw him and had compassion. His father ran, not walked, and fell on his neck. When I was in a Bible study last year, I read this over and over and over and it really touched me to think the father ran at neck-breaking speed so hard and so fast for the return of his son who strayed that he fell on his neck! And then he kissed him! He did not say what did you do with your inheritance! You naughty son, return your inheritance so you can go to heaven. He ran and fell on his neck and kissed! How hard and fast do you think he ran if he fell on his (my version does not specify the son's or the father's neck but just think he ran so hard he fell- maybe the inertia of the run itself was so much the son's neck had to break the father's fall!) neck! Praise Jesus/God! I hope this touches you and edifies you. :cry: Oh the beauty of it! I think I want to cry now.

Here's something else interesting Romans 16:17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine whoch you learned and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. I Corinthians 1:10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no more dividions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement. I Corinthians 2:15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. Self explanatory there, I think.
Romans 15:7 Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God. When we read about the woman caught in adultery and the woman at the well who admitted she had had how many husbands? Not one, not two, not three, not four but five? And she was living with one with whom she was not married (fornication). And what did Jesus tell her when she told him this? Did he tell her to leave the man she was with and go back to her first human husband? No, he told her in that she spoke the truth (which He already knew). The woman caught in adultery by the ones wanting to stone her, Jesus did not go with the crowd. Instead He started writing in the sand, and what do you think He was writing? I don't think He was playing tic-tac-toe there, lol.;) He was asking whichever of them who had not committed sin to cast the first stone. And how many stepped forward casting a stone? Then when they were gone, Jesus did not condemn her. He pretty much stood up for her and protected her, even when she was just caught in sin!
And what about when Peter denied Jesus? I do not think he went to each and every peron to whom he denied knowing Jesus individually (maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but if he did, wouldn't the Bible have that in there somewhere? :confused: ), but he did cry and repent when he realized what he did. And then he lived his life from there, doing for God. God still used him, even after that.
Now there is something in I Corinthians 6 that talks about brother judging brother (and there should be someone capable of judgeing who is appointed to judge maybe) and who will not inherit the kingdom of God (yes it does include adulterers and fornicators and revilers and so on but there's another place in the Bible that says if we are guilty of one, we are guilty of all) and it goes on to say, Cor. 6:11 And such were some of you, But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. The Bible also talks about we are to daily renew our minds. If we became perfect overnight at the moment of asking Jesus into our lives, we still mess it up from time to time, even if unintentionally, I would think.
Do I think you should leave your husband? I don't know. But just because you did something wrong does not mean it's over, too late, one way pass to ****
and there's nothing you can do about it to work your way out of it other than what people say. If that is the case, then I'm doomed too, and probably all those people who judged you not to be a Christian and every one else here who has ever committed a sin after becoming saved and can't undo it or can't go back in time to correct it. And if we can undo it, then why did Jesus die for us and why is Jesus still an advocate with the father and makes intercessary prayers for us? By His stripes are we cleansed and healed, not our works. Shouldn't God should decide where your eternal destination is? And if you can work your way out of Sheol, then isn't that going by the law and the OT and without Jesus?
Galatians 2:16 ...knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. 4:9 But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? Galations 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Galations 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. I have confidence in you in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgement, whoever he is. And I brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the creoss has ceased. I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off! For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty; as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve on another. (and it proceeds to talk about the works of the flesh and the works of the Spirit).
Now we are not to continue on in sin, of course, once we find out we are sinning, and if you want to know what God wants, ignore the idea of pleasing people by divorcing your second human husband in the hope of secondarily pleasing God. Ignore what every one else is saying (yes including me, and I know I gave you a paradox there lol but bear with me here but for a moment ;) ), and pay attention to only what God tells you and the Bible for the time being. Ask God to work things out for you. Romans 8:28, He will if you love Him. Trust that if you ask you will receive. Ask God that if HE does not want you to stay married to human husband 2, that He undoes the marriage for you and trust HIM and wait on HIM. Work on your relationship with God. Ask that if He wants you to stay married as you are now, that you stay that way. That HIS will be done, not yours or other people's. I am sure some of us will be praying for you on this thread. :groupray: Where there are two are more....

There is also a place in the Bible that talks about not seeking to be loosed from that which we were in when we were called I Corinthians 7 (or maybe in your case, when you were brought to realization?) and let not man put assunder or separate that which God put together & to confess your sins so that you might be healed (but I don't think a billion times is required here) (I'll have to look this up too unless someone else gets to it before me, hint hint.:thumbsup: )
Was it a sin for you to remarry? Probably/Maybe. Will it be a sin for you to stay in the marriage in which you are currently in? That you have to ask God. Will it be a sin for you to do something that according to Malachi God hates? Think about that, doing something that God hates just to please Him? Is it just me, or does that not make sense?:confused: :scratch:
There are also other gems and treasures you can glean out of the Bible by reading or rereading the whole NT.
And if I really wanted to mess with your head (which I don't) I could even pull things out of the Bible to say the contrary of those things which I just said. For example, in one of my group therapy classes on the video, the man talked about what was in the Bible as an example of this: Judas killed himself, and later on in the Bible you can take out the phrase that goes something like and go and do thee likewise. (Of course messing with the Bible also has its repercussions too: Revelations 22:18-19 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book :eek: :bow: I hope I never have and never will do this!)
2nd Corinthians 2:5-11
But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent-not to be too severe. This punishment which was inflicted by the majority is sufficient for such a man, so that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comforthim, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow. Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him.For to this end I also wrote that I might put you to the test whether you are obedient in all things. Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive, For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ, lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devises.

May God give you the peace of HIS wisdom, and not people's ideas of wisdom.

Divorce is not an unforgiveable sin. Those people on the other thread/board do not know what they are talking about. It is all in ignorance they say such things to you! You are doing right, asking God for forgiveness, and to want to be certain you are right with him. However, these people you speak of do not know what is right with God, and they are trying to force you to sin again by leaving your current husband. We can only pray for such people that they wise up soon, because they are not doing God's will at all.

Forgot something... read the story of King David. He committed adultery, and married the woman after he caused her husband's death. He lost the son they had together. However, King David repented, and he remained married to her, and they had another child together. If God was displeased with him, they would not have been able to have more children! He continued to be married to this woman. Check out 2 Samuel 11 & 12:1-24.

Thank you, but all I did for the most part was type (with a few spelling typos) what I found in the Bible and then just added my own commentary/opinions here and there.

There was a reason Jesus said Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone ;) cause ALL of us, every human on this planet! has sinned and fallen short. You have already been forgiven by God and those people who are judging you WILL have to account for that on THEIR judgement day. The devil wants you to feel condemned he wants you as far from God as possible. Don't let him have the victory! In the name of Jesus YOU HAVE THE VICTORY!! :)
You are a child of God and he loves you very much and just like a good dad he wants to see you happy ;) Leaving the man you love is not the answer. Prayin against those negative feelings is the answer.
Take care and God bless.

To all of which has been said, especially about who had said that she ought to leave her husband and remained unmarried...

I'll be the first to admit that I had concluded so; even through the scripture.

For in the moment, when I had first read and inquired of the Lord on the matter, I saw a vision of how it should be answered...

I saw a woman and her children, they all were in anguish but at the same time in prayer to God; asking for forgiveness, yet remaining under the faithful sense of abiding in the law(s) of marriage; that is to say, unmarried... seeking the fruits and Kingdom of God with her children.

That is to say that while the one husband was still alive, a wife is still the wife of that man until he is dead; if she then is divorced, not to remarry(especially because of adultery, Matthew 5:32).

You're certainly welcome to disagree with me, that's by far your decision...

However, as Proverbs 30:5-6 & Matthew 15:13-14 read

Proverbs 30:5-6
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Matthew 15:13-14
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.


My question is, if Y'shua Maschiach(Jesus Christ) stated that you ought not to marry a divorced woman... and you decide that this is not true... how can you claim the salvation of Christ, if you don't follow what he says!?

Revelation 2:4-5
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

[BIBLE] [/BIBLE] Romans 14:4 Who are you Surname to judge? you know your scriptures well but so did the Pharisees, but without love and compassion you have nothing...do you follow every rule..do you stay away from sinners? Jesus dined with sinners and was critized by whom...the Pharisees who followed every rule and knew every scripture. I perfer Jesus's judgement Thank you...He came to save people like me.and was critized by people like you..if He was here now do you realize that I am the type of person He would visit, and people like you would be wondering why..be careful the judgement you give..it will be given back...you do not need to say nothing else thank you for your opinions as they are well noted but God does not want me to commit the same sin again..so your advice to do such though noted is not accepted. I do appreciate you wanting to do what is right in your eyes but I serve God too, and I have to do what is right. Love is the GREATEST commandment, you worry SO much about the SHALT NOT that you forget about the YOU SHALLS....like LOVE and compassion...in James it says CHARITY COVERETH A MULTITUDE OF SINS..well I have charity and I have a multitde of sins so looks, like I can do this...I do appreciate your opinion but have it down Thanks....God Bless You

In the Christian advice forum I am getting slammed for being divorced I have been remarried for 6 years and have 2 kids with this man and my ex is married with 2 kids but I am being told that I must divorce my current husband immediately and be alone forever or I am living in sin. What do I do? Leave my husband so I can go to Heaven? I asked God to forgive me but they are telling me it doesn't matter...please help

1. We are all living in sin, all the time.
2. Forgive me, but it seems like your issue is not with God, from whom you've asked forgiveness, but from "them." Personally, I have questions about anyone who calls themselves Christian and say that forgiveness and atonement "don't matter"

All to say, seems, unfortunately, that you need to find a a more supportive community.

Then again, I was raised a rabid Protestant and believe that all things and any thing is possible through Grace.

Um. No. The Pharisees actually thought rather differently, which is one of the reasons why Jesus had such hang ups with them.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "I believe in God's Mercy I am sorry you do not." I believe in God's Mercy as embodied in Jesus. If you are saying that because I do not share your belief that divorce and remarriage is adultery, well, let's agree to disagree, but I hope that we'll both agree that at the very least, God's Mercy, is not limited to that.

I don't think I am making excuses. An excuse is something which intercedes between one and the just punishment of one's wrongful actions. I'm much more heretical than that, I'm saying that remarriage is not wrong. So, as long as we're slinging terms around, I would more properly, and IMHO proudly, labelled a heretic.

Also, David, while an important figure, is pre-Christ and I have another one of those heretical beliefs that the incarnation, life, death and resurrection of Christ categorical and massively changed things, so I'm denying the precedent as having been overruled.

As to your second point, may God's Grace be with us all.

There are only two moral laws that I know about, "Love the Lord God" "Love your neighbor" and getting remarried doesn't, in my estimation, violate either.

Anyway, smile.

I'm actually quite pleased that you would entitle me a Pharisee...

It's a compliment to be known as someone who knows the law :), however I'm far from a Pharisee in the sense in which you've spoken. True, I am a sinner, this I will always admit; however, if you had known my life... you would know that I strictly do, to the best of my ability, what I preach. I know, if I was married and in your situation how difficult it would be to reconcile with the truth of the matter; but, knowing that I've heard and done so many other things which I was once caught away with that God would put it in my heart to simply obey. I've not belonged to a "church" community, at least not since I was a very young lad, nor have I studied under the tutilage of any human pastor or read theological books; I strictly believe in the scripture John 14:26 which states as follows:

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

so, as you can see, I'm quite glad that you would acknowledge the Holy Ghosts' teaching of me :) There have been plenty of times, way back in my early walk in Christianity, that others thought that I should be taught in a church, or that I should read specific literature; I abstained from their teachings...

As Y'shua Maschiach said:

Matthew 16:6
6Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

You asked, ealier, who are you to judge!? I, by the grace of God, am His son, King, Priest, Prince, and Friend; by faith, the Lord put it in me to carry on forward when my ankle was half broken: I carried about 50 pounds of weight on my shoulders for almost 20 hours without food, eating snow, and as far from my destination as I knew I was I knew that God would deliver me... by faith, hearing the Holy Ghost speak unto me I went again out into the wilderness of the Highway to preach unto some churches in the Eastern Area of Canada without money & scripture; by faith, I heard an Angel speak unto me and give me a new name. By faith, the Lord took me from assasination plots, kidnapping plots, and being poisoned. By faith I have done battle with various demonic forces and have won.

If all these things have happened to me and I still remain adament that even I am not saved until I endure to the end of my life, how then, can you say that by the Grace of God... you can disobey one of the very simply commandments he gave about divorce and marrige!?

Y'shua Maschiach said: If ye love me, keep my commandments(John 14:15)

And as our doctrine knows quite well... Y'shua Maschiach(Jesus Christ) is our Lord, our God.

Which, naturally, would apply to the first greatest commandment:
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.

You, by far, have not been the only one to disagree with me, nor to have skepticism about the doctrine of Christ...

I'll tell you of a dream I had, concerning an Angel and a book...

In my dream I saw an Angel, the Angel put his hands about the book but did not touch the book... the book was Red, trimmed with Gold... the Title of the Book was: I told you.

The Lord put it in me to know that this was about all of those people who would hear the word, and simply not obey... even I who had skepticism about whether or not I should have left my house to preach a specific message about the people and Israel... nevertheless I left and spoke what God told me to.

It is indeed by the Grace of God that we have faith towards the hope of salvation, but it's far from us to lead others towards disobeying the fundamental things Christ told us to do... and how to avoid bein' left behind. You once asked, "How can I lead others to Christ if I, myself, am not..." I don't quite recall the end portion of this sentence, so let's say, it was "...abiding in the works of God"? You often refer to the instances when David took another mans' wife, by murder, and how he only suffered the loss of a child; however was not told to leave his wife... I ask you then, whose husband was she when Uriah was dead!? Nobodies, she was released from the law... that David could not build the temple for God... build the temple for God!? Aren't you the temple of Christ(1 Corinthians 3:16-17)!? If these two instances were so similar, then by that statement... wouldn't you, as well, not be able to build your temple for God!? Not only that, but that you should lose a child for the sake of your sin!?

We both know that you don't want that to be the case, nor would I want that to be the case of myself in that instance. So, you see... these instances are not so similar at all... instead, it was the Lord whom through His covenant with David allowed him to remain King, and that he would have a child to be the heir of his throne.

From the beginning, however, the Lord God has always been... and as someone kindly pointed out the laws in Deutoronomy regarding marriage... written by Moses, Y'shua Maschiach had this to say:

Matthew 19:7-12
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it , let him receive it .


Moses suffered the people to get divorced, from the beginning it was that we're meant to be virgins until marriage; married until one of the two died.

Even the worldly doctrines know that the "church" sets a vow for marriage... to love and to hold, through sickness and health... till death do us part.

Grace and peace be upon you.

Sorry I keep forgeting things as for david so it would be OK to kill my ex(that I would not do) say I am sorry then it would all be OK to be remarrried, according to you I can get forgivness that way but telling my ex I am sorry and GOD I am sorry AND DON"T GET DIVORCED again is not OK. But David was OK because Uriah was dead? Wierd reasoning..maybe it was that GOD ACTUALLY FORGAVE DAVID and maybe GOD actually forgave ME(wow me. He could forgive me?) and REMEMBERED MY SINS NO MORE THROUGH JESUS'S BLOOD(do you really think Christs blood is enough to cover adultrey? I do) and wants me to turn from such behavoir BY NOT JUST DIVORCING SOMEONE even when I would want to(as I have wanted to get divorced and have not being lead to not do such things again). I do not think I would kill anybody and I had a Revelation too..it was about LOVE. It was about everyone condemning one another and not following the GREATEST COMMANDMENT..at first I thought it wasn't a revelation as why would God reveal anything to a sinner like me? then I realized He does use sinners like me. I am writing this upp else where and I know you do not want to hear because I am such a sinner and you must do what you feel is right..I UNDERSTAND THAT and respect you..sorry I wrote 3 post in a row I kept forgetting things I felt lead to write. Just remember all the "shalt nots" was supercided by the "thou shalts"(yes supercided because Christ said they were the GREATEST COMMANDMENTS) Thou shalt Love God...thou shalt love thy neighbor..when you truely follow those rules you don't WANT to do what is wrong, because you are filled with love for GOD and your fellow man. Not to say that you can do whatever you want just because you love alot, but the oppisite, you are Filled with Christ and so much love you would never want to hurt anybody and would not want to do what is wrong in God's eyes. I hope you all the best... God bless
