It's not the previous divorce that needs to be forgiven I this situation, it's the choosing to live every single day in an adulterous relationship that's the issue. Jesus himself said that to do so is adultery. We may not like it, but that's the cold hard truth.

I don't agree. I think it is the sin of the divorce that CAUSES the next marriage to be adulterous. If the man repents for the divorce and is forgiven, I believe he would then have a clean slate.

Sorry, I edited my comment for clarity. But to your point, that's not what Jesus said. He didn't say it's okay as long as you repent. He said it's adultery, plain and simple.

What would be your scriptural basis to negate Jesus's words saying remarriage is adultery? What scriptural evidence would you put forth to show that there's a clean slate after divorce?

So an unsaved person that is a divorcee but becomes saved commits adultery if they remarry? Being unsaved how did he/she know they were committing a sin to begin to begin with?

So loosy there's no remission of sin through the death burial and Resurrection of Christ?

I guess we just discovered the second unpardonable sin. If you have remarried and are in an illegal marriage and a couple of kids, I can almost 100% for sure Jesus is not going to to tell you that you are living in sin and you need to get a divorce.
I am not in a situation where that has an influence on me. I have never even kissed another woman besides my wife, so in one sence I have no dog in this fight.
Looks to me like we've not come to a crossroads but a fork in the road where it seems like Jesus is saying bind them up instead of set them free.
When you get high jacked and have no choice then you know you just met a thief.

Its pretty easy to tell somebody else they are living in sin.

Those old jews were sure a hateful bunch.

Sure there is......if you repent of sin. If you choose to continue to live in sin, such as homosexuality or adultery,that's a different story.

1st question...yes.
2nd question.....same as any other sin (such as homosexuality for example). that an unsaved person commits. Whether they knew they were sinning is irrelevant.

If you ha e a problem with it, your problem is with Jesus, not me. He's the one who said it's adultery.

Who said it's unpardonable? All sin is forgiven with repentance.

So I guess if you're an adulterous homo you're really in trouble.

Truck driver I knew had been calling home for several days but no one was answering. ( before cell phhones) When he got there his young children were crying and laughing at the same time they were so glad to see him. Grabbing his legs making it difficult to move They had been eating dog food for three days. Scared to answer the phone cause they were young enough they would be in trouble for it. Mom was off on a meth bender. They didnt know where she was. Truck driver divorced her but I guess now that was sinful of him? The mom was murdered about 11 years later. So I guess now that she is dead the truck driver is no longer a sinner for running her off and getting on with his life?

Government is involved in the equitable sharing of women because it provides peace and long term stability. Every society and culture that has not had the equitable sharing of women has crumbled or lives in near complete irrelevance. Throughout Human history one man and one women together was NOT the norm, genetics tells us most men did NOT reproduce but nearly all women did. The cultures that eliminated infighting by equitably sharing women came to dominate the ones which did not. Govt incentives the equitable sharing of women so that our culture and country can continue.

I would emphasis again, one man and one women is not the norm, traditionally a guy like Elon Musk/Bill Gates would have hundred's or even thousands of wives which leaves hundreds or even thousands of men with nothing to do but cause war/trouble in society.

Well you were insinuating that if a woman is remarried and with kids then she is living in sin and the only way out is to get divorced and then what ? Her and the kids live on the street? You don't have a solution for that do you?
I know you are looking for a place to teach a lesson about allowing the gays marring in the church, then they can teach the kids in Sunday school and then worm their way into the pulpit. Alexander was great but he didn't end that way! Lesson=don't take short cuts.
So go a head and give the gay marriage thing another best shot. Just don't tie up a bunch of people with no escape in the process.

Was Jesus referring to man putting away(divorcing) his wife in order to marry another committing adultery? Is Jesus also saying then a man putting away(divorcing) his wife for abusing his children but remarrying another committing adultery?

Regardless of what Jesus did or didn't say--and Loosegoose is right, his meaning was clear--the Supreme Court has said that gays have a Constitutional right to marry.

But some people still want to take away someone else's Constitutional rights, just like for certain other issues in our society.

Just bake a cake to the "Queen of Heaven" and see how God approves of that !

Here guys. This explains the passage in Matthew 19 about divorce. It's long, but you'll understand it better.

sounds like "proper translation" is the key here along with "interpretation".

Context of the statement is usually important but remember LG is trying to justify homosexual marriage. He got a confirmation from an unbeliever/lawyer James so it's settled. Lol.
