Is remarriage after divorce a sin?

I don't think this question can or should be considered isolation but with a host of allied questions: What did Jesus say about it? What is the status of remarried divorcees? Should the standard be different for those in the Church from those outside? Flowing from the above, should there be...

Which? The condition or the act?

Homosexuality is not a sin. Sexual activity outside of marriage is.

The CBMW holds to the Arian subordination of the Son to the Father ie: heresy. This in turn informs their adherence to the subordination if women to men. Eternal Subordination of the Son and CBMW

Which is, ironically, what some of those behind the Declaration have done.

Either the blood of Christ is sufficient or it isn't. And conservative Christians haven't exactly covered themselves in glory on this issue: A church's journey towards inclusion | Inclusive Church

As opposed to the blatant heretics behind the Nashville Declaration?

T'other side of the coin: Perspective | Seven simple ways to respond to the Nashville Statement on sexuality And I would not place much theological store on an organisation that also affirms the subordination of the Son and thus is heretically Arian.

Well, first off I don't think it can be read as an instruction to us as Christians. Look at the context: in Rev 17 it is the false Christ and his minions who destroy Babylon and therefore it is reasonable to conclude that they are the addressees of the command. I really don't think it is...

I don't nullify the passages, just interpretations which are at odds with the revelation of Christ shown to us by the whole counsel of Scripture, His Incarnation as the Word of God and His Body the Church. [ETA reply to Alcott]

We've been down this road before and you know I don't share your interpretation of those verses which, for me, have to be viewed through the lens of 'God is love' and 'Perfect love drives out all fear '.

Only if you live in a paranoid universe rather than one governed by the love of Christ.

One of what, exactly? A Muslim? Help, Help! Mr Mayor's a Muzzie! Head for the hills! Sorry, but I'm not going.to be dictated to by irrational fears, particularly not as a child of God.

If that means not having my wife accidentally shot by one of my kids as seems to happen with depressing regularity as do your shooting spree massacres in the US then, yes, I'm perfectly fine with that. As is my wife, for the record
