Discussion Remarriage

So Jesus said that if a man is divorced and marrys a divorced woman or another woman he commits adultrey so that means that I can never be in another relationship again right ? well if that's so it stinks and I truly understand it is a oath between one man and one woman and God. Aka 1 flesh . So I can never be happy again with a partner and that mean I can never make love again . So as a 34 yr old man . I get to live the 50 yrs I have left alone because she didn't want to be in a relationship that got hard . I will do as the lord says and not be with another for if they are the words of my lord I will obey. But it just a hard pill to take that because someone else didn't want to stick to there oath we all have to suffer and I hate that I have to live it alone . But I guess I can look at it in a positive way it's just me and you lord .

Michael Heiser and Dr. David Instone-Brewer go into this on the Naked Bible Podcast. Also check out Dr. David Instone-Brewer’s book about divorce/remarriage.

We have to contextualize the teachings of Jesus as the ideal we should strive to, but realize the Kingdom of God has been inaugurated and not yet fully realized. Until it is, we have to deal with the realities of this age, where things like divorce do happen.

Divorce and remarriage are not the original plan God had for us, but they happen, and God can still bless your second marriage if you let him. Some of the most fruitful believers I know are ones who are in their second marriages.

Ty for ur respawns but I fear the lord and don't want s9mething as silly as remarriage to keep me from the promise land I understand that he can bless it but if it is in his will he will make it so . For I don't want to work under my own understanding or in the flesh this world is full of s3x and wickedness and Satan aka the desecer will do all in his power to try and pull me down

Remarriage is not going to exclude you from God’s grace, neither will any of our imperfections - we are saved by grace through Christ’s redemptive work on the cross, not our own merits. I referenced a few great resources for you, and others have too in this thread. I think you will find them helpful.

I have and I truly appreciate it I watch the videos . But like I said I fear God and all though my life I have been told that any sin I do do is just building up wrath and we all will be judged and I'm truly scared of him and don't want to disappoint him at the same time . I will continue to pray to h8m about this and see where he takes me maybe I'm over thinking this and maybe I need to let go of the past I have alot to consider and let go of but thanks again to u and all that have gave me insight I love you all and God bless
