Answer from Luke 16.18:

"Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery."

All I can do here is quote Jesus:

"And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another, commits adultery." Matt 19:9 RSV

So that's why Joseph needed to have revelation from God because it would be lawful to divorce Mary.

Because God said so. Is that not enough for you?

Consider this word:

“If a man divorces his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man’s wife, will he return to her? Would not that land be greatly polluted? You have played the harlot with many lovers; and would you return to me? declares Yahweh. ~Jeremiah 3:1

It is quite natural to understand for yourself that being with multiple partners is a contamination of your body. A woman receives the fluids of the man but the man does not receive the fluids of a woman, which is why in ancient times it was understood that a man could have multiple partners but a woman most certainly could not. By mixing the fluids of two men you are essentially committing the same sin of homosexuality. It is depravity and is a pollution of the mind and body.

No it's not that I just want to know exactly why..like what exactly makes it sinful.

I explained it in the same post, please read the whole thing.

If the divorce isn't legal, then the couple is still married. Marrying someone else then becomes either bigamy or adultery. I don't believe remarriage is in itself the issue. It's the divorce that Jesus said was wrong, the problem with remarriage is simply an implication of that.

However Matthew thought there was a class of exceptions, and Paul thought there was another class of exceptions. Given Jesus' way of handling law, it seems perfectly reasonable to think he would except that there are situations where it's worse to stay in the marriage than leave.

Reading Mark 10:1-12 might help you understand it.

I do not know all that the Lord knows, but my own personal experience tells me that adultery destroys lives.

God takes commitments and vows very, very seriously and He expects us to as well as His children. God instituted marriage in the garden and stated that they became one flesh. One flesh is not meant to separate.
In the case of your aunt, if her husband committed adultery after their separation/divorce, then under God's providence, the covenant or contract has been broken and you aunt is free to remarry as the guilt is upon her husband.

Notice that none of the believers in the TORAH, PROPHETS, PSALMS or NEW TESTAMENT

ever, not once, never asked why Yahweh said to keep the commandments , nor why breaking the commandments is sinful. Perhaps that has something to do with exalting self ? (I don't know - the question never came up before that I remember)

All we know, as bond-slaves of Jesus Christ, is we are to obey Him, and whatever HE SAYS IS SIN, IS SIN - and no man can change that, ever, no , never.

He never tells us to just 'think about it' and then decide if we agree with Him , then do what we want to do - (as most people do, whatever they think is right, they do, and they die in their sin) ....

Rejoicing. I'll talk to you in private.

Actually, He has commanded us to seek wisdom and understanding, and to ask Him for it. He wants us to ask these questions, because He longs to open our eyes.

"Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you." Psalms 32:9

That doesn't change His Word , nor what I said at all.

Think of it this way. If remarriage was allowed, Christians could get around the command against adultery by divorcing and remarrying.

 

[ValleyGal]

Divorce is not sin. God himself divorced Israel for a time and pursued Judah, but she was worse than Israel, so he took Israel back. God does not sin; therefore, divorce is not sin - and God pursued Judah, so finding someone else is not sin either.

First Corinthians 7:8-9 address the UNmarried and widows, saying it's good to marry if they cannot control their passions. Paul addresses virgins later, so we know that those who are unmarried are those who were, but are no longer, married.

There are a lot of places that incorrectly translate original languages to say divorce rather than separation. This makes sense, because if you "put away" (separate without the benefit of divorce) and then marry someone else, of course it's adultery because God commands that there has to be a certificate of divorce (legal divorce) provided to a spouse who has been sent away. The practice in biblical times was for men to send their wives away without giving them a certificate - this condemned them to a life of adultery or poverty, since she would not be allowed to legally marry someone else. The certificate of divorce allowed her to marry someone else.

Marrying someone after divorce is not sin. That's not the "popular" Christian answer, but it is the truth. There is more about the subject here:

The whole world approves gladly and says it is okay to disobey Yahweh.

That doesn't ever make it right.
