I have been remarried for over a year and the church that my ex and I went to ....?

It is kinda odd but i think for all concerned i would try a new churches you may find one that is really right for you.gl suga ((hugs))

Different churches have different standards. They are all supposed to come from the Bible, but people have different ways of interpreting and applying them.

If you were divorced and there was no cheating going on and your husband wasn't an unbeliever who deserted the relationship then on your part you had no Biblical basis for a divorce. Perhaps you had reasons for a separation, but not a divorce.

That having been said, since you have remarried and whatever was done in the past cannot be changed, most churches would find the grace to accept past mistakes and seek to restore you to fellowship.

Other churches feel like if they do that then they will be setting a bad example for others who may be in a difficult marital situation and seeing that someone who got divorced and remarried is showing up like nothing happened, be tempted to take the same path.

I would advise you to just find another church. If they ask you about your past be honest and tell them that since you have already been disciplined and you didn't belong to the new church at that time, they should be willing to let you come and worship and learn there.

It depends on whether or not your divorce was scriptural. The scriptures give two reasons that a marriage may be dissolved. The first is if the spouse dies. Romans 7:2, 3. The second is fornication. If one spouse commits adultery with another. The offended spouse can ask for a divorce. Matthew 5:31-32.

I am Roman Catholic.

Jesus made it very clear that marriage lasts as long as both people are alive. If the person you call your "ex" is still alive, then he is still your husband. If he is still alive, then you and the person you call your current husband are both committing adultery on an ongoing unrepentant basis.

No Christian Church should encourage such blatant and public sinning.

The Church is right to regard your publicly sinful lifestyle as unacceptable. If you are Roman catholic, it is possible that your first marriage could be found to have been invalid. If so, you would need to obtain a declaration of nullity - commonly called an annulment, in order to get married. Otherwise, you are committing adultery.

I hope and pray that you will repair the sinful lifestyle that you have established. Ask you pastor for guidance in this matter.

May Peace be with you.

You might ask if there is anyone else in the church who has ever sinned. I would assume your divorce was not for a biblical reason...and perhaps they are observing the letter of the law, regarding divorce and remarriage (i.e., you should not do it). However, there is no one in that church that has not sinned. Jesus was a perfect example of this when He forgave the adulteress and turned away all those who sought to stone her.

These people sound like they need to be reminded what a church is for in the first place.

Some Christians are at different mile markers on there journey than others. What they judge you on is definitely not biblically sound, but if that is what they want to believe, let them be and find another. All of us do or believe something that another Christian would find distasteful or think is wrong. The mature Christian will just go on about their business and "live and let live". Thanks for sharing.

In a country with a church on every street corner, you don't need to care whether they're Christians or Satanists or simply miserable gits. Find another one.

It's not Christian like in my opinion...but what are the doctrines in your church? Some churches do believe in some of this stuff

It isn't.

The church is taking too much time concerning itself with who loves who, as opposed to their supposed message of peace.

In my opinion, I don't think that's Christian-like. It's definitely a rude thing to do.
