Divorce and Remarriage

[MorganT]

MorganT:

Hi, there, pleased to meet you.
The issue, with all due respects, is divorce and remarriage.
If you know of any Scriptures that says it is okay to remarry after divorce, then post them, and explain why you think these Scriptures say it is alright.

With all due respect I thought I did. If a girl or boy is 18 and marries and then at age 19 divorces tell me how can she/he be fruitful and multiply unless she/he is remarried or has children out of wedlock. You are looking for a verse that says and you may remarry when or if and it aint there and we both know that.

Well, I'm not trying to put you on the spot by asking for these verses.
No one on this board claims to have memorized all Scriptures.
We all may have missed something which somebody remembers or knows.
Thank you, and I think I understand what you're saying now.

On the other hand, I think Christians today have taken on the attitude of the world toward divorce, and are much too lenient about it. Their divorce rate reflects that.

I'd like to see someone use scripture to show it's okay after divorce to get remarried. I'm not saying it's there or not - I've seen both sides. But so far, no one has used scripture to support the view that remarriage after divorce is okay.

Deuteronomt 24:1,2

When a man hath taken a wife , and hath married her, and it come to pass that she hath found no favor in her 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. And when she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another mans' wife. KJV

Worse than Ford?

It would be a close call. Ford stayed on the ground so much he couldn't do too much harm.

Deuteronomt 24:1,2

When a man hath taken a wife , and hath married her, and it come to pass that she hath found no favor in her 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. And when she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another mans' wife. KJV

Yeah, she can, but it's still adultery, because God did not break up this marriage, man did.

 

[Revmitchell]

Yeah, she can, but it's still adultery, because God did not break up this marriage, man did.

What does that mean "yea she can but"? Either she can or she cannot. Either she can as in God allows it, or it is not allowed by God. So does this verse say that God allows it? If not the why does this verse say what it does?

 

[J. Jump]

And when she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another mans' wife.

The problem with this verse is that it is not giving her permission to go and do this. The KJV translators have added "may go," giving the indication that she has permission, but if you look at the literal translation of the verse "may go" is not included.

Here are a couple of literal translations:

CLV - When she goes forth from his house, goes and becomes another man's,

YLT - and she hath gone out of his house, and hath gone and been another man's,

It doesn't seem to be a verse of permission giving, but a verse of when she has gone and done this . . . this is why the original husband can not take her back because she is now an adulterer and he wold be defiling himself if he took her back.
