Miracle2022:
Why are we disturbing ourselves with this issue? What did the bible said about divorce? It's either you are for God or not. Obey the bible or stop pretending to be a Christian.

Jesus Christ never said divorce is sin so listen to Jesus Christ and not men.

Kobojunkie:
Divorce is not a sin. It is remarriage that poses potential sin against God.

Marriage after divorce is not a sin if the reason for divorce is adultery Matt 19: 9.

Miracle2022:
you can bring all the grammar of this world to nairaland, if you claim to be a Christian but you cannot obey the bible then you are not a Christian. The bible said no divorce and it remains no divorce. You can speak your grammar anywhere but the truth remains the truth. Period

But "the Bible" never said no divorce. Your pastors and mogs taught you that lie instead.

Jesus Christ never said divorce was sin. It isn't divorce itself that is listed as sin by Jesus Christ but instead remarriage after divorce.

▪︎ Matthew 5 vs 31 - 32
▪︎ Matthew 19 vs 7 - 9
▪︎ Mark 10 vs 6 - 12
▪︎ Luke 16 vs 18

Divorce in and of itself is not a sin.

ammesidog:
You are not entirely correct. Not only death, if you catch your wife/husband cheating and can't forgive him/her bible says you can divorce, and it allows so that you may not out of anger kill him/her.

Jesus Christ never said you can't divorce anyone for any reason. Divorce is not a sin. Instead what is potentially sin is remarriage. There is only the one condition given where you can remarry, where other cases are sin.

So it is OK to divorce an abusive partner, just don't remarry.

ammesidog:
Read Matthew 5: 31. There's a condition for divorce which is sexual immorality.

incorrect! The condition is not on divorce but on remarriage.

Jesus Christ never said divorce is sin. Instead it is remarriage that poses potential sin.

Kobojunkie:
You are wrong! Jesus Christ never told you that divorce is a sin. It isn't divorce itself that is listed as sin by Jesus Christ but instead remarriage after divorce.

no need,except you have a varse that says there should be a devorce. In my church we don't give work to divorcee, we cannot give them holy comminium therefore,we will not even give them tites baskets.

Jesus Christ never said divorce is sin so your church does not follow Jesus Christ but it's pastors and mogs as gods.

Samfloxin:

Let's assume I married a born again Christian and unfortunately she backslided and starts cheating and vehemently refused to repent?

Divorce is not a sin - Jesus Christ. What is potential sin is remarriage.

Preacherrr:
PASTOR MRS BECKY ENENCHE IS HAPPILY MARRIED, FREEZE IS NOT... PST MRS BECKY ENENCHE IS A PASTOR, FREEZE IS NOT... PST MRS BECKY ENENCHE IS A GOOD ROLE MODEL, FREEZE IS NOT. SOMEBODY SHOULD TELL THE PERVERSE TO SHUT UP. AND LET PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE MORAL AND SPIRITUAL STANDING TO TALK ABOUT MARRIAGE RELATED ISSUES TALK. I PITY FOR THOSE STILL TAKING HIM SERIOUS.

All that and you wonder woman doesn't know that Jesus Christ never said divorce is sin?
She didn't know that preaching against divorce in the name of God is lying, an abomination against God Himself?

Kobojunkie:
Upon carefully considering what you said there, and what is in fact written in scripture, I think we have it totally wrong as far as divorce is concerned.
It isn't divorce itself that is listed as sin by Jesus Christ but instead remarriage after divorce.

Again, we're saying the same thing.

Remarrying while your ex is still alive is the sin.

If my first ex cheated, I am free to remarry whether alive or dead.

If second ex again cheats, I am free to remarry whether ex is alive or dead.

If third ex cheats.....you get the drift. It doesn't matter whether the ex is alive or dead, so long as it isn't sin to remarry, why not go for it?

Remarriage after divorce is not a sin if, the reason for divorce is adultery matt 19: 9.

Yw! Please spread the word! Divorce is not a sin...the potential sin is in remarriage and it is not for anyone to condemn another for it either.

Ok if you compare Luke 16:18 to matt 19:9. You would see that remarriage after divorce is not a sin if only the basis for divorcing is adultery or fornication.

I agree with Daddy Freeze on this. There are marriages that will take you to hell trying to keep it even if you don't die untimely death. One or both parties live bitterness for the rest of their lives trying to keep a marriage.

The instruction against divorce is actually meant to protect the woman who is usually the victim. But if the woman chooses to leave for a very good reason such as abuse, she has not sinned.

Divorce is not a sin and isn't meant as protection for the woman, not according to Jesus Christ.

No you're not, please show the scripture for that

The one exception where remarriage is allowed is in case of sexual sin.

31 “It was also said, ‘Any man who divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.’
32 But I tell you that any man who divorces his wife, except for the problem of sexual sin, is causing his wife to be guilty of adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman is guilty of adultery. - Matthew 5 vs 31 - 32

You win, I agree
So, if the man has remarried after divorcing the cheating woman, is the woman free to remarry?

Does the cheating partner even care about obeying Jesus Christ to begin with?

You have to understand that God's commandments are for those who value Him and so Obey Him. A cheating partner probably doesn't care much for what God has to say and hence not for God either.

Now, don't get me wrong here. God forgives even sin of remarriage, and He gives no man power to condemn another for remarrying.

It's possible the cheating partner really loves God but made one stupid mistake.

True, God can forgive remarriage but if the Bible says that who ever marries a divorced woman commits adultery, does this mean the divorced woman will have to remain alone? Or should she remarry and come back and confess her sins ?

As Jesus Christ said, any divorced man or woman who goes to remarry potentially sins against God. And so It's up to the woman in question, really.

Sin is not meant to be an eternal unremovable stain like we like to pretend it to be, so just the same way a liar confesses and moves on after telling a lie, an adulterer is also expected to after committing adultery.

Kobojunkie:
1. God forgives every sin, even remarriage (excluding the one sin of blasphemy) so who are you to continue to hold this man's divorce against Him pretending you do so in God's name?

2. You say you are not dogs that keep sampling men and women in the name of divorce... but do you propose sampling them before marriage since that is pretty much the same sampling happening there.

3. Indeed the children are the true victims of the many freedoms adults carve out for themselves either outside or inside of marriage.

By the way, divorce is technically not a sin. It is when a divorcee goes to remarry that is issue of sin arrises.

read it loud to the hearing of sane people around . You made no sense , oga. Evil is evil ! That I am involved in perpetuating it has not made it good.

Divorce is not evil.... not according to Jesus Christ. Instead remarriage is the potential evil or sin here. So what are you going on about?,

According to Jesus Christ, it is not wrong to get a divorce. It is when a divorced person goes to remarry that the issue of sin potentially arises. Now, also note that God is also able to wipe the sin slate clean aka forgive all sins.

Kobojunkie:
Yw! Please spread the word! Divorce is not a sin...the potential sin is in remarriage and it is not for anyone to condemn another for it either.

This reminds me of a brother in my place of worship, a very fine and successful Christian brother that his wife left him for 12years. The Holy Spirit came to him in a dream warning him to go back to his Church and sounding this warning on three night, he then told my pastor about the warning and my pastor announced it to the congregation that the brother will no longer be worshipping with us that he will be going back to his former church (Apostolic) , suddenly the Holy Spirit fall upon another brother and he spoke in tongues and we all understood what he spoke in our own different languages telling that brother he should go back to his wife, though his wife left him but his wife will follow him when once she sees him. It was very wonderful that Sunday with such experience that somebody speaks in an unknown tongue but I understood it in my language.
