Can a divorced Christian Remarry?

Posted by: admin in: ● May 8, 2009

At Single Christian Network some people were posting that it is adultery for a divorced woman to be remarried.
I disagreed. Here is what I wrote:

Here is what I have discovered:
Jesus came to heal us, not condemn us.
He came to set us free, not drive us into captivity.

The gospel is a message of hope. It is good news.

Here it is, just as written. No words changed:

Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and
YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

I know there are people that want to take the bruised and broken hearted and bruise them even more.
I know there are people who want to weigh down the hurting with even more troubles and sorrow.
They want to take the easy yoke and make it hard. They want to take the light burden and make it heavy.

If someone tells me that they would forbid a woman who is being abused to get a divorce, I would say again:

“Shame on you. You distort the gospel message. You take the hope and forgiveness offered by Jesus and make his words a heavy burden. You know the words of a book, but the spirit has not pierced your heart. You don’t know Jesus.”

Jesus said it this way:
Speaking of the scribes and the Pharisees:

All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

They had the words down. They had the rules and the law and they were perfect.
And Jesus rebuked them because they knew not the truth.
