Folks, all these scriptures are wonderful, but many are taken out of context. I would like you all to read Jerm 3: 8-10. God divorced Israel. If God can get a divorce and not be accused of Adultery then he will not accuse you.

Gods will is a couple never divorce, however, divorce does happen and it is alright to remarry. The persons, female or male ARE NOT in adultery. The Law was fulfilled in Christ and the sin of divorce was put on Jesus so those who divorce can remarry. If the Old Testament allowed divorce under the Law, then how much more now under the new? He allowed men to have many wives under the old but that was never his perfect will. Gods will is one wife, one man. Heck, he condemned under the Law anyone marrying a half sister, yet he allowed Abraham to marry Sara his half sister. This was before the Law yet when do you think God thought this was wrong? Before the Law or after? To get the answer Read Romans chapter 5 and read that where there is no law, God did not impute sin to a man. Under the new covenant, God is not imputing men’s sin to their account. See II corth 5: 17-21. Jesus bore ALL MENS SINS! If you sin it bears a wage, but its not from God, its from sin. Sin pays a wage!

Matt 19 is speaking to those who were Jews, it was a story of the religious leaders who tried to TRAP Jesus, it can not be used to beat a person up over marriage and remarriage. John chapter eight deals with a woman caught in actual adultery and Jesus under the Law could have had her AND the man who committed the act stoned. He showed Grace and Mercy. Its our pattern to follow!

Folks, lets get our Covenants in the proper order. God hates divorce and Adultery because of what it does to people; he does not hate people or condemn them to a marriage if abuse or the covenant has been broken. Remember, God wills everyone to obey his word. God will allow divorce and remarriage, but his will is that a couple never divorce. However, it does happen and both parties can remarry. I would highly suggest that both parties go through counseling before remarrying, and then try again. There will be difficulties with children, abuse issues, abandonment issues, alimony and financial difficulties, but if we allow the spirit of God in the situation he can bless what has been destroyed.

Do not underestimate the power of the New Covenant. Understand it and that the Law is to have no part of justification in a New Believers life. Get out of the Old Covenant which was fulfilled in Christ and immerse yourself in the new. The Laws purpose is to reveal sin and make a person run to a gracious savior. Its grace by faith, or Christ plus nothing!

I have been married 33 years and I thank God for his Grace and Mercy!
