i understand that's how you personally feel. the scripture says they're both in sin if they remarry."Being in sin" is out of the initial question.
yes, per the scriptures.Is he and his ex-wife still tied together by the law?
the best she can in the unfortunate circumstance she's in.I think the problem raised here is what is the wife to do...
I understood that was what you are telling me, but "who is sinning" wasn't the question.i understand that's how you personally feel. the scripture says they're both in sin if they remarry.
Is he's also tied to his new wife? He officially divorced his former wife, he didn't follow "the law" so his first wife is no longer his.yes, per the scriptures.
Some would say that he is now a bigamist. Others might say that his first marriage is the only legitimate marriage and his second "marriage" is actually adultery.
are you intentionally being obtuse?I understood that was what you are telling me, but "who is sinning" wasn't the question.
he's committing adultery with his "new wife".Is he's also tied to his new wife?
Ok.The husband is committing adultery because he remarried. He took the first shot.he's committing adultery with his new wife.
Ok.The husband is committing adultery because he remarried. He took the first shot.
So doesn't Matt 19:3-9 apply to the ex-wife – "except for sexual immorality" (adding 1st Cor 7:15 on here too)?
But he divorced the first marriage. Isn't the christian view that divorce is a no.. not divorce doesn't exist?
the husband is committing adultery by remarrying
the "new wife" is committing adultery by being with that man
the "old wife" will be committing adultery if she remarries.
explained in post #24
fornication = deutornomy 22:13-21
1cor7:15 does not condone remarriage, only a release from spousal duties.
By doing the best she can in an unfortunate situation.So, how do you expect the original wife (please let's not call her "old") to manage raising four children on her own?

First error. You missed out the Keyword: except/but. in fact, other translations have it as this "EXCEPT for the reason of unchastity". Since fornication happened with the husband remarrying (which is fornication) then she isn't an adulterer.matt5 says that a man who divorces his wife but for fornication causes her to be an adulterous. this statement wouldn't make much sense if adultery was the reason he could divorce and remarry as he wouldn't be making her an adulterous by his actions.
The Catholic Church, which I note that you belong to, holds that divorce does not exist. Annulment of a marriage, however, can be, and is, permitted, by the Catholic Church for a variety of reasons, one of the primary being the non-consummation of the marriage which, biologically, can be exceedingly difficult to prove. For example, Teddy Kennedy sought an annulment of his marriage, but his wife objected on the grounds that their children would then be declared bastards and she an adulteress. He was not granted an annulment, but, as we all know, sought female companionship outside the view of the Catholic Church.
The difficulty is that more and more Catholics are ignoring the moral teachings of the Catholic Church. The primary impetus was the Church's ban on any form of contraception. The average number of children in present-day American Catholic families is virtually identical to those of non-Catholic families - slightly over two children, which means that either the Catholics are engaging in contraception or they have decided to cease marital relations on a fairly permanent basis.
Technically, the Catholic Church excommunicates unrepentant sinners, but since it has been hemorrhaging members, virtually nobody is being excommunicated today. In actual fact, there are some Catholics who, for various reasons, remain exceedingly loyal to the Church and continue to attend mass and take the eucharist even though they have divorced and remarried.

Sinning is not an option.
There is no divorce provision in the NT.According to the Bible, all rules on how you are
supposed to live are obsolete.
Hebrews 8:13
In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
After you are forgiven, you decide what is right and wrong.
James 4:17
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
If her husband walked out on her, against her will, to marry another woman, how is it her fault that he broke their marriage covenant? She has been sinned against.
If she then found someone who was willing to take on another man's 4 kids and provide for them all; how would it be a sin for them to marry, possibly have a child together, and be one big family?
First error. You missed out the Keyword: except/but. in fact, other translations have it as this "EXCEPT for the reason of unchastity". Since fornication happened with the husband remarrying (which is fornication) then she isn't an adulterer.
1cor7:15 doesn't need to reference the word "remarriage".
It does not say "divorce does not exist". We just don't believe in it. Divorce is more of a civil law, Annulment is from the Church. Divorce is: The marriage ended and they are no legal obligations with each other anymore. Annulment is the Sacrament of marriage never really happened, even if the two parties where actually convinced that they loved each other and stated the vows. The reality is God never wanted these two together and there was no actual Matrimony. So in order for a Catholic to be remarried, the previous marriage has to be annulled under the eyes of the church.
There is no divorce provision in the NT.

Obey your leaders and submit to them (the laws they make), for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.
10.
Titus 3:1
Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities (the laws they make), to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
actually yes it does because abandonment =/= fornication and you are now saying there is another reason to divorce and remarry which has you pitting the words of paul against the words of Messiah.
There is no provision in the NT for divorce. Jesus was interpreting the Law proving the Pharisees wrong in Matthew 19:9
