He said, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman has sinned against his wife. He is guilty of adultery. And the woman who divorces her husband and marries another man is also guilty of adultery.”” Mark 10:10-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one word, no. According to the Bible, the only sin that cannot be forgiven is the rejection of God. All others were paid for by Jesus dying on the cross and rising on the third day. Sadly, today, the powerless church loves to put burdens on people. Unloving burdens. They pretend to speak for the Lord High God and love to pronounce sentences from the pulpit.

The Lord Jesus is the one who convinced me of that. But if someone believes that something is wrong, then it is wrong for that person. Don’t allow what is good for you to become something they say is evil. But anyone who eats something without being sure it is right is doing wrong. That is because they did not believe it was right. And if you do anything that you believe is not right, it is sin.” Romans 14:14, 16, 23 Although these verses are about food note the “if you do anything that you believe is not right it’s a sin”. My conscious tells me staying single is the right thing to do. I am not miserable staying single either. I will pay for my divorce now rather than later.

Maybe the remarried person reads this later and asks for forgiveness because they didn’t know but me I know already before doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it your conscience that informs you and not some unloving church dictate. A church that I see has largely lost the plot and so is really quite inconsequential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely yes. This is because we all fall in one way or another. Gossip and false witness to me is one of the worse, yet we seem to do it every day. We are constantly thinking about ourselves and our sin. I think God does not give that a second thought and is mostly concerned with the lost souls that surround us all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you divorce will you stay single until your spouse dies having orders from the Bible to do so unless it is due to sexual sin, or does your conscious tell you it’s okay to divorce over another matter and seek out another marriage. The choice is truly yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to be compassionate to others in a hard and unforgiving world. I find, unfortunately, the church often is not in acceptance of outcasts for whatever reasons. Now I do not agree with the way they have watered down their beliefs when faced with the gay agenda, but we should still be loving where possible and not compromise. That is why this is a very tricky question (the OP) because it assumes much and explains little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
