      Is it sin for a wife to remain single, her husband divorces her to be with another woman. Would it be sin if the original wife and divorced husband remarry each other again? There is some Acrioture that states if woman were to divorce and be with another man and then go back to first husband that it would be. Just need some more clarification.

    Your voice is so sweet and peaceful and it reminded me of another voice. Then I remembered my deceased Grandma (2016) was the only one I remember talking like that. Her first husband died very young, so she remarried. Her second husband was so abusive that he almost murdered the family so they divorced. My Grandma never married again. I always remember her being sweet and peaceful, even after such a horrid life. Can't wait to reunite with her.

For example yesterday I learned this about marriage from Gino Jennings and he don’t teach what he thinks he simply just interprets the Bible on what it’s actually saying and once I learned the truth of marriage it craved me forever now I know I can’t marry a female who already has a husband and I know when I heard the truth I knew in my spirt it was true

      Hi yes I agree once you learn this truth you cant unlearn it. It was the same for me when I learnt it. I've watched others though who are in remarriages or wanting to marry a divorced person turn against me and this teaching, because it upsets /annoys them so much, the truth speaks. Many try to twist Scripture to suit their flesh due to wanting to remarry sadly.

    I wonder if you are permitted to marry someone who has never been married now that you have been divorced seeing that it was not a covenant marriage? Thanks you for your testimony, it helped me so much. I was dating a single mom that was divorced, her husband left her to marry her friend. I knew something was preventing me from marring her and than went to a church that taught what scripture teaches that divorce and remarriage is adultery so I ended that relationship. God bless you!

    Wonderful video! In Matthew 19:8-9, Jesus said “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.” So who is the Almighty here, God or Moses; His creation? Thus, Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.-Hebrews 13:4. Divorce and remarriage has nothing to do with God. It has everything to do with selfishness and carnal thinking in all of us. In fact, what therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. (Mark 10:9). The marital covenant is ONLY nullified by death of a spouse, anything beyond that is Adultery. Scripture warns that Adulterous will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). Whatever you think it, dice it, twist it, find loopholes to get out of marriage and remarry; it is absolutely a serious violation of Gods’ instructions!

      I was in your situation - married before I became a believer and then remarried after I came to Christ ( we had 2 children). You need to study all the relevant verses on the subject and ask the Lord for guidance and peace. For me I believe Scripture is clear that I cant remarry while my 1st husband lives (I am now divorced from the 2nd marriage) : Romans 7:2-3 By law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him. So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress.
      1 Cor 7:10-11 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

    I believe there has to be a clean line drawn between Christians and the world. I feel the only sin that ends a marriage is adultery. Matthew 19:9 and Matthew 5:32.
    I believe Jesus's responses in the above scriptures were in reference to
    Deuteronomy 24:1
    When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she finds no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
    I think many individuals don't fully understand the sinful nature of adultery. Its deadly and perhaps demonic.
    People insist the couple stays together, but I feel it's up to the innocent spouse and God to make the decision. I further feel family members and friends concealing the truth of the infidelity from the innocence spouse will be judged by God.
    Proverbs 30:20
    "This is the way of an adulterous woman:
    She eats and wipes her mouth,
    And says, “I have done no wickedness.”
    Proverbs 6:32-34 (KJV): "The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; he who would destroy himself does it. Wounds and disgrace he will find, and his reproach will not be blotted out. For jealousy enrages a man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance."
    Lastly, I have not found scriptures stating if a spouse commits adultery, you are still married to him/her.
    But I have found 1 Corinthians 6:16
    What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
    I know a man in his 60s whose wife deprived him of sex for 5 or more years. He paid 90% of the bills! This continued even when their incomes were almost the same. During this time, she had a 5-year affair with a divorced man. I don't think his wife has confessed this to anyone. People view her as a loving Indvidual. He has kept this secret from their teen child.
    Many Individuals are cheating on their spouses. With this behavior, they spread sexual diseases, discord amongst family and friends and destroy the family unit.
    Years ago, a woman asked a family member to protect her from her ex-husband. Her ex caught the family member in the house with his former wife and shot him dead.
    Many murders are a result of adultery. That's one of the reasons I feel it's demonic.
    Those who watch porn are also practicing adultery. God delivered me from it almost 2 years ago.
    My advice is to attend a Biblical sound church, pray and fast for direction. Never assume me or any other youtubers are 100% correct with his/her words.
    Search the scriptures for truth and pray and ask Jesus for wisdom and guidance.
    God Bless everyone!

    Anybody can make logical deductions from the things they suppose to be true. But the fact is if you look to the biblical precedents to which Jesus refers (when He spoke to this issue) you will see that divorce and remarriage were effective events that changed marital status from one spouse to another. After the fact one was bound to their present spouse and not their former. A face value interpretation of the law of Deuteronomy 24:1-4 proves that to be true.
    The fact that ending a marriage causes those who remarry to commit an act of adultery didn't change those realities. That's not what Sharon Henry teaches. She adds false suppositions to God's Word. Blessings

    Based on Mark 10:8-9, can God bring together two unsaved people? Meaning, you mentioned that your husband had come to the Lord after his divorce. Therefore, how can God bring two people together if they are not saved and walking with Him? If God did not bring them together, then who did? Man did, correct? So, if man brought them together, and they get divorced, are they not free to remarry who God joins together?
    Also, from my understanding of Romans 7:3 and of the law, if the husband puts away his wife by writing a bill of divorcement, then they are no longer called husband and wife, so this Romans scripture does not apply, correct? However, if the husband puts away his wife without a bill of divorcement, then he will be called an adulterer when marrying another, and visa-versa; when the wife puts away the husband without writing a bill of divorcement.

      Hi there are many instances of marriages ion the bible where the couple were not believers. God joins all couples together into 'one flesh' if they are lawfully allowed to marry.
      Romans 7:3 is talking about the death of a spouse - not divorce. When a spouse dies the other is then free to remarry.

      I would like to ask two additional questions, Q1 & Q2 below, in relation to divorce.
      Ezra 9:1-2: Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.
      As I look at this passage of scripture, I see that God's people mingled with the heathen, including joining with them in marriage. In other words, they married outside of God's will; therefore, God did not bring them together.
      Ezra 9:8: And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
      The people of Israel married outside of God's will, and it brought them into bondage. Therefore; as far as I understand this passage of scripture, in order to be free from their bondage, they needed to divorce their heathen wives to bring them back into God's will.
      Ezra 10:1-4: Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore. And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing. Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law. Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.
      Ezra 10:10-12: And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel. Now therefore make confession unto the Lord God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives. Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
      1st Question:
      If believers marry outside of God's will, it will not only harm them, but it will also hurt those around them (e.g. their family, etc.), as it did when the Israelites married heathen wives -- the entire nation suffered. Therefore, if God did not bring the unequally yoked marriage together in the first place, isn't better for the believer to divorce (even though God sees the pain that will happen when they divorce) than to suffer the greater pain of staying together? In other words, isn't God more about saving the believers who married outside of God's will than to save the marriage, especially if the marriage is bringing death and destruction to them and their entire family?
      I would also like to address the following scripture again:
      Romans 7:1-3: Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
      2nd Question:
      From my understanding of the law, if the husband puts away his wife by writing a bill of divorcement, then they are no longer called husband and wife. For example, if an ex-husband gets remarried, the ex-wife cannot call him her husband anymore, otherwise, that would be called lying. Therefore, the above passage of scripture would not apply to a couple who has been divorced, correct?
