    According to the NT the only basis for divorce and ability to remarry is fornication.

    *looks for scripture*

    Matthew 5:32

    There are quite a few verses in the bible about divorce the themes being a). God hates divorce, b). A couple should remain married if one is a believer and the other isn't unless the unbeliever chooses to go c). If a man divorces, remarries then divorces a second time, he should NOT go back to his first wife. He CAN remarry her if neither of them have remarried inbetween and d). the only reason that divorce is allowed (scripturally) is if one partner has been unfaithful.

    If you go to www.blueletterbible.com and type in the search box 'divorce' and ask for entries in the NIV you will get quite a good list of verses. If you ask for the KJV you will only get one. This is because the term used for divorce in that version is usually 'put away'. It is better to use a modern translation for this search.

    I hope you find exactly what you are looking for.

    enable me inform you why. Now days, you may flick to the christian television channels and note huge church homes with thousands of human beings. They throw down the prosperity gospel. They carry forth about God's grace and about a thanks to have exhilaration always. They do what feels sturdy. The do what's mushy. Now curiously finally the sands of the sanctity of marriage my technique of living by the code "until eventually eventually lack of existence do us area" slipped by the palms of the church... yet curiously homosexuality not in any respect did. i imagine the reason that got here about is because homosexuality is extra of a fashion of existence... multiple human beings see it as a call... even as actually, it really is a conflict. the thoughts are authentic, i'm confident. i wager the alternative area of it really is even if the thoughts are going to be acted upon. The church can element it really is finger at gays and lesbians and say, REPENT! because they are what they are. they are identifying on to act on those thoughts of theirs and that is in basic terms incorrect... yet try preaching on divorce for 0.5-hour? you'll have 0.5 the human beings squirming of their seats. See, the church would not opt to evangelise on divorce because what's accomplished is accomplished. (sarcasm) nicely if something were given by my rambling there it may nicely be this. the renowned day church likes to experience sturdy - to experience comfortable. and how do i recognize this? because i have been going to church because i replaced into born. I see it from the interior out. and that i'm attempting so difficult... to make a distinction... Of all the human beings i recognize, I have yet 3 pals that see a similar difficulty. So i do not recognize the position you stand with Jesus yet enable me inform you something. modern-day day Christianity does a worse pastime than a horse's a $$ at witnessing the gospel. in case you want to charm to close what all those issues is very meant to be about, grab a Bible and in basic terms examine by the e book of John. it really is the 4th e book contained in the NT.

    Bible’s view regarding divorce with a view to remarriage:

    Mal. 2:15, 16: “‘You people must guard yourselves respecting your spirit, and with the wife of your youth may no one deal treacherously. For he has hated a divorcing,’ Jehovah the God of Israel has said.”

    Matt. 19:8, 9: “[Jesus] said to them: ‘Moses, out of regard for your hardheartedness, made the concession to you of divorcing your wives, but such has not been the case from the beginning. I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication [extramarital intercourse], and marries another commits adultery.’” (So the innocent mate is permitted, but not required, to divorce a mate who commits “fornication.”)

    Rom. 7:2, 3: “A married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is alive; but if her husband dies, she is discharged from the law of her husband. So, then, while her husband is living, she would be styled an adulteress if she became another man’s. But if her husband dies, she is free from his law, so that she is not an adulteress if she becomes another man’s.”

    1 Cor. 6:9-11: “Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men . . . will inherit God’s kingdom. And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean, but you have been sanctified, but you have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God.” (This emphasizes the seriousness of the matter. Unrepentant adulterers will have no part in God’s Kingdom. Yet, people who formerly committed adultery, perhaps even improperly getting remarried, can gain God’s forgiveness and a clean standing with him if they are genuinely repentant and exercise faith in the sin-atoning value of Jesus’ sacrifice.)

    No, but to break it down in laymans terms,

    Its a mortal sin to have sexual thoughts & actions before marriage.

    If you divorce its a mortal sin because you have sworn to live the rest of life with that person through good or bad,better or worse.

    How pathetically sad is that...

    C'mon,you gona let the book teach you what's written above ? .....
