i would say hun that you totally can remarry now. Divorce is horrible in Gods eyes, but your then husband was the one who sinned, not you, and divorced you for no reason, you can totally get remarried in my opinion, you have done nothing wrong. He does not have to admit to committing adultery, for he unfortunately divorced you already, if he had committed adultery WHILE you were married, then it would be ok in gods eyes for you to divorce HIM, but he already divorced you and it was wrong, so feel free from guilt to get remarried. |

Question, how many people do you have to kill to be guilty of murder? (one)
Question, how many times does a person have to be guilty of breaking this verse before being guilty of adultery," Matthew 5:28," But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."(one) Therefore I believe all adult people to be guilty of adultery!!!!
Now for the good news. How many sins did Jesus die for ?????? |

Mr 10:9 What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.
But the question we have is whether God has joined together all those who consider themselves married? |

Paul says (Romans 7:1-3)that the women is bound to the husband as long as he lives! What God has joined together is a spiritual covenant, which cannot be ended by a civil decree. Separation is surely sometimes needed for mental & physical protection, but where is the possibility of God's foregiveness & reconcilliation in a civil divorce? This action denies God the opportunity to change BOTH people for the better. Check out God's take on this in Jerimiah 3:8,12 & 14 where God writes Israel a 'bill of divoce' (separation), then says "return"(stop backsliding) followed by the statement "we are STILL married"!Thus saith the LORD! |

Tough one - Do not ask. You might not like the answer. You must get on with your life. Just do not hate. Do not hate yourself nor anyone. Unfortunately, we live in a real world. Please Love fully and honestly. Many things of Law are meant for the safety of society so that society does not induce sin. However, specific situations are best left up to the individual. If you find happiness, please go for it. We must live. |

Jesus prohibited divorce except for Adultery, that included lying about ones virginity. The non adulterer could remarry. The adulterer was not free to marry, and anyone marrying one is entering a prohibited marriage. A divorce without cause, was no divorce, and so, another marriage was a type of bigamy. The exception is in 1Corinthians 7:15. If the unbeliever departs, the Christian can remarry because the marriage was not 'in the Lord'.
Deuteronomy 22:17-19, 28-29, 24:1-4, Proverbs 2:17 (forsaketh husband), Isaiah 54:4-8, Jeremiah 3:1, Malachi 2:14-16.
Matthew 5:31-32, 19:3-12, Mark 10:2-12, Luke 16:18, 1Corinthians 6:15-16, 7:10-17, 27.
1Timothy 3:1-15, Titus 1:6-9, 1Peter 5:2-3. |

1 Corinthians 7: 12 But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. 13And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him. 14 sorry not enough space for it. 15 But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace. |

You can get remarried. Scripture says that if you are deserted by an unbeliever that you are not held accountable to the actions. Read Pauls writtings. |

He left you, used you to become a citizen so neither of you married for love, or commitment or even companionship and you were not SAVED. You are free not bound to sins in your past now as a new creature. Plus he probably did go to his "lover" and marry her with his new green card no proof but a good chance and that would be him with another woman. But U were not even saved, now U are, so walk in faith and light and enjoy-- Gods life is an adventure with Him. |

r.w. how could you possibly come up with the statement that you did on 11/24?
You would have to grasp at straws a long time to do that. God told the husbands in Ezra ch 10 to separate from their strange wives.
God called us away from sin and abuse. It is you who needs to use the Scripture wisely and not speculate on unfounded things with no Scripture support.

elder, the 'not under bondage' you wrote of may mean that the one person is not 'bound' to chase the offending spouse all over the country to save the marriage. this may not mean God says it's ok to remarry. be careful here. |

---r.w. on 11/24/06 |
It really depends on the circumstances. My husband divorced me about 5 years ago. He became abusive in every sense of the word. I don't agree with divorce, but I couldn't tolerate the abuse much longer and God knew it. After praying and praying for God to change things and deliver me from the abuse,my husband left me. I felt as though this was my deliverance. In my situation I feel as though I'm free to remarry. |

I Cor 7:15- But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
Read I Cor 7:7-15.
It is Satan who will cause continued pain and suffering not the Lord. You are free to divorce and remarry. Take time and seek out God's choice. |

---Elder on 10/27/06 |
If you married in good conscience and your ex "used" you only for citizenship, but you were unaware of his ulterior motive, then you're are free to remarry; but I would ask why would you want to? There's an old saying, "Once burned, twice shy." If you truly loved him, and later you find out his unlove for you, surely this betrayal must have hurt, or did you not love him either even as he did not care about you? Are you so willing to possibly be "used" again by another? |

Why must there be marriage in order to love and be loved? Is there not a possibility that we love another without it leading to romance and marriage? Being single does not equate to being lonely and in pain. Why, then, must we assume God desires all to be married a second time? |

divorce is wrong , Jesus never endorsed it. it may be God's will for a person to remain single (Paul said it is better to be unmarried like he was unmarried) But WHATEVER you do, stay away from the teaching of Ken hagin. he's a false teacher |

Marla you wrote;
If it is God's will that you remarry......
God is not a God of pain and lonliness. He created us to love and be loved.
my question in the light of what you have said is what does the 'IF' it is Gods will meen?
some christians believe that it is not Gods will for everyone to be married, this doctrine i do not ahere to, since you say that God is not a God of pain and lonelyness, he would be contradicting himself if he dissalowed some never to marry |

I have battled with this same issue. My husband, whom I met at Bible School, left me when I was pregnant with my third daughter. She just turned 18. Although I did not want to be divorced, I was not unhappy to see him leave. Even though we were in Bible School and supposedly seeking God's will, I do not believe God put us together. I do feel it is okay for me to remarry but as you can see, I don't rush things! |

For my understanding of marriage and divorce, I thought it pertained to those married with God' blessing, two believers....I know that if one is a believer and one not, you are to try at all costs to save the marriage, for the sake of the non-believer might come to Him thru you....hope this helps |

God is not an angry God who punishes us for what others do to us. He is a fogiving God who gives us second chances.
If it is God's will that you remarry than if you wait and trust him he will make a way and bring the right person into your life.
God is not a God of pain and lonliness. He created us to love and be loved. Pray and seek his leading and wait on his answer for your life |

Get a copy of the book "MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, AND REMARRIAGE" by Rev Kenneth E. Hagin (of Kenneth Hagin Ministries/Rhema Bible School), to find Scriptural answers to your questions. It will help you immensely. God isn't nearly as hard on us as we, as Christian people, are on each other. |

"Why call me Lord, Lord, and not do the things I say..", and other scriptures. Your husbands Christian reality is questionable to put it mildly. You'll be unequally yoked if you remarried him, according to the scriptures. God will give you the self control needed until your ex brings forth fruit 'mete' for repentence, or someone really committed to Christ scripturely, appears! James 5:16-18. Focus on your spiritual(wo)man, God will give you rest [carefull who you 'confide' in]! Maranatha! |

Auror hit the nail right on the head! You can (re)marry, scripturely ["only in The Lord"]. You were also defrauded! In today's America/world, one has to be really careful, especially if someone is not a US citizen. The (d)evil one beguiled Eve in her sinless state, how much more can he do the same to anyone today? Eph.6:10-12, James 1:5. |
