Is All Remarriage a Sin?

Marriage was intended by the Author of all life, to be one man and one woman, permanent, for life.

Has God made provision for divorce due to the regrettably, covenant-breaking offense(s) of a mate? Does He punish His victimized children for the offense of their mate? When wronged (fornication, abandonment) by their own mate, are His children relegated to a life of being alone, unmarried due to being victimized?

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“From what I understand, the Bible says God doesn’t like divorce but allows it. However, the problem is remarriage. We are to stay unmarried or be guilty of adultery until our spouse dies.”

REPLY:

God hates divorce. He said that once (Malachi 2:16). Yet the sin of adultery which He also hates, is found 64 times in His Word (adultery, adulterous, adulterer, adulteress, etc.). Those who were divorced due to the fornication or abandonment of their former spouse are absolutely “not under bondage” (not bound) to that previous marriage and fully free to remarry if they desire (1 Corinthians 7:15-16; Deuteronomy 24:1-4). There is no adultery in remarriage, especially if the person who remarries is not the offending party. And, by the way, does this idea not also violate the character of the God of love? It sure does. Besides it being unbiblical to say all remarriage is sin, we can also ask, with the whole of Scripture in mind: Would the LORD punish His own children unduly for the sin of others? That sounds sadistic to me, as in it seems to be coming from Satan, not God. The LORD told us that each person is accountable for his own sins and not the sins of any other, not even our own children, spouses, etc. (Deuteronomy 24:16; Ezekiel 18:19-20). This is eye opening right here.

Each individual person, created by and responsible to God, will give account for his own sins, and never, not the sins of any other. God has made each of us unique and uniquely accountable, personally responsible for our doings.

“The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.” Deuteronomy 24:16

“Good morning my brother In Christ Jesus…so recently I saw a lying basher per say…post and say that anyone who is divorced and been remarried is in continuing sin and are hell bound. My wife was married before and the man committed adultery and also put her away. We’ve been married 8 years now…am I in sin? I know the Word says except for fornication all else is not reason for divorce basically. I know without a doubt God put my wife in my life when I was a sinner man messing up…”

Fornication and abandonment are divorce-able offenses (Matthew 5:32; 19:9; 1 Corinthians 7:15).  These divorce dictators are nicolaitans of the worse kind which Jesus says He hates (Revelation 2:6, 15). They are conquering, bringing into bondage the people by way of their lies and are heretics of the worse, most sadistic kind. God doesn’t punish His own children for the sin of someone else… such as an abandoning, adulterous mate. I want to encourage you to read these posts linked below and also to listen to pastor Tim’s video…..amazing, truth. This truth has saved many from destruction inflicted by these demon possessed heretics who say you can’t remarry. Hearing and walking in the truth makes us free (John 8:31-32, 36).

WHERE does God’s Word say that a remarried person is going to hell? Nowhere. You haven’t proved “perpetual adultery” because you can’t without leaving Bible truth out of your convoluted equation. You haven’t thoroughly, honestly studied the whole counsel of Scripture on the matter and are simply following other heretics.

“WHO shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” Romans 8:33-34

Brian Joel writes:

“The issue is that these marriage Pharisees don’t understand the Gospel…..when you become a new creation in Him, all the covenants from “Babylon” dissolve and you start a new….to say that you can’t would be to preach a Gospel where Satan still has you bound forever to your old life before Christ…this is another Gospel…..that’s the first issue they can’t grasp their head around….

The 2nd is the issue is that they don’t understand what it means to be “blameless” before Him….If someone abandons you, then you’re blameless in the situation….you cannot however be the one that does the abandoning….this would never happen though if you both are truly united in Christ though.”

Have you been unfortunately divorced and are perhaps considering remarriage? Well, beware of the diabolical divorce dictator heretics, novices who run rampant on social media, seeking to put people into bondage by their lies. Among other lies, they are telling people to divorce their second spouse and go back to the first which God’s Word expressly forbids (Deuteronomy 24:4).

“Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.” Deuteronomy 24:4

Believer’s Bible Commentary on divorce and remarriage:

“Deuteronomy 24:1-4
11. Divorce and Remarriage (24:1-4)
A man could divorce his wife for uncleanness by writing her a certificate of divorce and giving it to her. She was then free to marry someone else. But if her second husband died or divorced her, the first husband was not allowed to marry her again. Jehovah gave Israel a certificate of divorce (Jer_3:1-8); yet in a future day He will take her to Himself again, having purged her of her unfaithfulness. Oh, the depths of the riches of the love of God; how low He stoops to love the unlovable!”

Finnis Dake on divorce and remarriage:

“Whatever the intended thought, it is clear that divorce was not commanded here, but permitted because of the hardness of hearts (Deu_24:1; Mat_19:8); that both divorced parties were free to remarry (Deu_24:2); that the first husband could not take the wife a second time, for that was an abomination to God (Deu_24:3-4). Such things must be understood in the light of several factors: that a wife became the actual property of the husband and he became her lord and master (Exo_21:7-11; 2Co_11:3; Eph_5:22-33; Col_3:18; 1Pe_3:5-7); that easy divorces were a common thing in those days among all nations; that Israel had been influenced greatly by such nations and was in the habit of getting divorces for the most frivolous excuses; and that Moses simply tolerated certain practices because of the hardness of the hearts of Israel. Hence, this law limiting divorce to “uncleanness” was needed.

Only those with a scriptural reason for divorce have the right to remarry. The man and woman who divorce without scriptural grounds cause sin by forcing each other to marry someone else. Paul gives one more scriptural reason for divorce—willful desertion because of Christ and the gospel (1 Corinthians 7:12-15).

 [then let him write her a bill of divorcement] Three commands—marriage and divorce:
1.    If you take a wife, and she finds no favor in your eyes because of some uncleanness, you may write a bill of divorcement, put it into her hand and send her out of your house.
2.    She may go and be another man’s wife (Deu_24:2).
3.    If the second husband hates her and writes her a bill of divorcement, or if he dies, the former husband may not remarry her, for she is defiled (Deu_24:4).
c    [him] It appears that only the man had the authority concerning divorce. By New Testament times, however, a woman had such authority under certain circumstances.”

 Christ’s disciples are not bound, not required to remain in a marriage where the partner departs, abandons, or commits adultery/fornication.

“But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. 16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?” 1 Corinthians 7:15-16

John Wesley on 1 Corinthians 7:15-16

“A brother or a sister – A Christian man or woman. Is not enslaved – is at full liberty. In such cases: but God hath called us to peace – To live peaceably with them, if it be possible.”

Adam Clarke on 1 Corinthians 7:15-16:

“But if the unbelieving, depart – Whether husband or wife: if such obstinately depart and utterly refuse all cohabitation, a brother or a sister – a Christian man or woman, is not under bondage to any particular laws, so as to be prevented from remarrying.”

 Dake on 1 Corinthians 7:15-16:

“[if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace] Here we have another legal and scriptural reason for divorce and remarriage. If the unbeliever refuses to live with a wife or husband because of Christianity and if he or she is determined to leave on this account, the Christian is not under further marriage bonds and is not held responsible or punished by requirement to remain single the rest of his or her life because of the rebellion of another. The Christian is to submit to the breaking of the marriage covenant under such circumstances.”

One of the characteristics of false teachers is laying undue burdens on other by way of their falsities.

“For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.” Matthew 23:4

Read Matthew 23 for the most severe lambasting on record from Christ.

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1

Lies, heresies, half-truths will bring one into bondage. Jesus says His truth makes free those who receive and obey it.

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. …  36  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:31-32, 36

Divorce and Remarriage

Diabolical Divorce Dictators These vile animals are those who pretend that they are the only ones who can rightly divide the word of truth while they have followed the line of false teachers. “For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.” Matthew 23:4 There is a growing brood of divisive, devilish, defiling, evil and beguiling warlocks who pose as Christian ministers as they wield their witchcraft over the unlearned by pretending to hold the key of knowledge on this matter […]

Remarriage? What Does the Bible Teach?

Summary of what the Bible teaches on divorce and remarriage. There is a difference between “putting away” (separation) and a “bill of divorcement” (divorce) ….. this is what some fail to rightly divide. They thereby perpetrate falsehood and bondage on others as they bear false witness against the LORD, against the whole counsel of His Word. The LORD Himself divorced Israel due to her unfaithfulness, her adultery – HE IS DIVORCED AND REMARRIED TO THE GENTILES! “And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of […]

God's Word on Divorce with Pastor Tim Tyler [video]

1. THINK YOU HAVE MDR FIGURED OUT? 2. GOT QUESTIONS ABOUT MDR (MARRIAGE. DIVORCE. REMARRIAGE)? LISTEN to this. See video below. This truth absolutely infuriates what I called the Diabolical Divorce Dictators ….. complete devils who go around telling married people lies such as….. to leave their spouse and go back to their first spouse… something God specifically forbids (Deuteronomy 24:4). God calls this an “abomination.” Beware of these demonic operatives. “Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and […]
