  4. Divorce ALWAYS involves sin! • Marriage intended for life • He hates divorce (Mal. 2:13-16) • You cannot divorce for just any reason (Matt. 5:32-32, etc. In Our Last Lesson

  5. Marriage– the joining together of a man and woman as husband and wife which becomes the foundation for a home and family Gen. 2:24, Matt. 19:6 Definitions

  6. Divorce– the dissolving of such a relationship either in the eyes of man (unscriptural) or in the eyes of God and man (conditions recognized by God) Matt. 19:8-9 Definitions

  7. Remarriage – Entering into a second marriage with another spouse after a previous marriage is dissolved, either scripturally or unscripturally (adulterous) Matt. 5:31-32 Definitions

  8. Fornication – “sexual immorality” “Its general meaning refers to every kind of illegal sexual intercourse, that is, any intercourse except that between a husband and wife” Tyndale Bible Dictionary Definitions

  9. Fornication – Israel’s unfaithfulness to God (Ezek. 16:15, 22, Hos, 9:1, etc.)Associated with various forms of unlawful sexual relations – adultery, homosexuality, incest, harlotry, bestiality, etc. Definitions

  10. Adultery – “Denotes one who has unlawful intercourse with the spouse of another.” Vine’s Expository Dictionary • Adultery is committing fornication while married. It involves relations with someone other than your lawful spouse. • “Adultery involves married persons…” Nelson Definitions

  11. A very divisive subject. Primarily because of the emotions involved. • The problem is that man doesn’t like what God’s word says about the subject. Who Can Remarry?

  12. Are there marriages that God doesn’t recognize? • Matt. 14:3-4, Herodias, Herod’s brother Philip’s wife • Ezra 9-10, esp. 10:2-4, 10 – the people had married those God specifically forbade Who Can Remarry?

  13. Are there marriages that God doesn’t recognize? • Matt. 5:31-32 – to marry her who has been divorced is to commit adultery. Who Can Remarry?

  14. Scriptural reasons for remarriage • Death of a spouse – Rom. 7:3 • For the cause of fornication Matt. 19:8-9 – Who Can Remarry?

  15. The “cause of fornication” • “Therefore what God has joined together, do not let man separate” Matt. 19:6THIS IS THE RULE!!!! Who Can Remarry?

  16. The “cause of fornication” • Why did Moses permit divorce? Stubbornness but, “From the beginning it was not so” Matt. 19:8God’s intent for marriage predated the Law of Moses Who Can Remarry?

  17. The “cause of fornication” • In Matt. 19:8-9, Jesus gives a single exception, “and I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another commits adultery.” Who Can Remarry?

  18. The “cause of fornication” • Matt. 19:9, a provision for the innocent party, the one who is divorcing his wife (or husband – Mk. 10:12) The wording makes NO provision for the divorced party Who Can Remarry?

  19. The “cause of fornication” • Matt. 19:9, “and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery” (see Matt. 5:31-32) The one acted against. This qualifies the previous statement. Who Can Remarry?

  20. ARE you truly innocent? • While adultery is NEVER justifiable, we need to examine ourselves: • Have I been faithful in my role? 1 Cor. 7:1-5 • Have I been selfish? • Have I acted ungodly toward my spouse? Who Can Remarry?

  21. May we live so that these issues do not become an issue!
