Hi the Lord called me to Celibacy after divorce. I had no idea why. Then 9 years later he showed me why... because remarriage is adultery and he wanted to save me from that. I'm now 20 years single and celibate. The Bible is very clear on this issue. If we are divorced or separated we need to remain single or reconcile, nowhere are we told we are free to remarry.

Remarriage and divorce is so confusing bro😂😂😭. All I know is if you divorce and remarry you’re an adulterer period. If you divorce, you have to remain unmarried or be reconciled back to your spouse but if your spouse dies, you’re free to marry again. What confuses me is the forgiveness part of being in a remarriage. So if I remarry , I can just ask for forgiveness and remain married?? Isn’t that willfully sin?? I’m married and planning on divorce but I’m definitely not remarrying , but I just wanna know how all this works . Cause adultery is one of the biggest sins in the church that nobody really talks about PS: I’m not getting a divorce, thanks for you guys prayers!!🙏🏽

“Let him remain unmarried “ sounds pretty straightforward tho

Thank you for touching on this topic again. Can never get enough of these videos. It’s very difficult being young and divorced before the age of 35, but I am willing to give up my pleasure to love God!❤

When u repent u come out the sin not stay in it! When a homosexual repent he don’t stay in the sin! Wow loopholes is all people try to do to stay in the sin. Smh

I think that scripture is pretty clear that if you marry a divorced woman, you make her an adulterer and that if you divorce your wife (except for sexual immorality), that you too are an adulterer. This seems to suggest they are ACTIVELY, living in sin. Luke 16:18. A young lady who has a channel called, "MotivatingU2Win" just did a very convincing breakdown of this. I think she's correct on this one, Corey.

Thank you for this word in season… 😢 I needed understanding on this as a woman single and a divorcee.. God Bless you!🙏🏼😇

Someone in the comments way below said it best: "Life is short and eternity is forever". So, either be reconciled to your ex-spouse, or be single and celibate and free in Christ.

Respectfully I do not agree with this because it's not biblical. I wish people would stop looking for loopholes to break a Covenant. Marriage isn't a relationship it's meant until death. People date to marry to stay married for a lifetime. In Ecclesiastes 5:4-7 God says don't make a vow if you won't keep it. It's a sad thing when people don't care about breaking a Covenant not only with their spouse but with God as well.

1 Corinthians 7:39 is still true today. Hardly anybody preach this verse.

I Corinthians 7: (1) A direct command from Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of marriage is that a man and a woman should not separate. However, if they do, they should remain UNMARRIED or reconcile with each other. (2) In the first four gospels, Jesus directly said that any man who MARRIES a DIVORCED WOMAN is an ADULTERER. Remain that no ADULTERER will inherit the Kingdom of God!. (3) God can RESTORE broken marriages because all things are possible with Him. ( Luke 1:37).

I was adopted at two weeks old, and then my adoptive mom had twins seven months later (she was told she couldn’t have children). But my adoptive parents divorced when I was four years old. It was a significant loss for me. My parents remarried and my step father was abusive. My stepmother was controlling of my dad and prevented a close relationship. Like I said it was a significant loss. I still struggle with it to this day. I think remarriage is horrible, especially when children are involved. My family was pretty much destroyed, and my identity with a cohesive family unit was totally annihilated.

Reconciliation, and Responsibility are both the takeaways I get from this lesson. Believing you can break a vow or shun your duties for pleasure blows my mind. God may put repentance in their hearts, but how does that justify a whole other person coming in? To me you already made your bed and need to sleep in it, leaving others to go about their lives worry free from you.

Thanks Cory for the lesson. I'm still not quite clear on divorce. So the spouse that cheated if he/she wants reconciliation than no divorce? And if the cheating spouse don't want reconciliation its ok to remarry? The vow what God has brought together let no man put asunder is well understood for me BUT some of these marriages i find are hard to believe were called by God. I know several people married because they were forced into shot gun weddings or married for financial security, etc. I ask for more understanding.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you for taking the time to address this subject. God Bless You.

God bless you. Your channel has been a blessing to me and my family. May the good Lord bless and keep you.

Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.

My husband has been unfaithful multiple times. I filed for divorce. I have to keep staying with him and he keeps stepping out. He is with a woman now and the divorce isn’t final yet. I’m out! 25 years.

Thank you, Corey. There's a lot to unpack here but I have learnt from this video. Currently separated from my family because my wife wants a divorce. I dont believe in divorce and remarriage but lots of teaching floating around encourage it and I've questioned if my resolve shouldnt be discarded. This video and some commenta here gave me opportunity to read the scriptures and I WILL keep reading so I can get God's strength in me. Thanks again

Thank you for trying to be clear & concise in your answer. As a pastor, I often deal with this question. Sad to say, there is no end to the answers that are given from endless "Christian" sources. Some are so liberal in their treatment of the subject that they have the attitude of teaching that one should do whatever they think best, without any appeal to Scripture. In short, let me say that I applaud your attempt to answer this most important question & be true to the Word at the same time. I think you accomplished your goal & did a wonderful job at it in dealing with a very difficult subject. I also think you effectively answered the question of a person being in a state of sin as being opposed to an act of sin on their part. All that being said, not everyone will agree with your conclusions. That is between them & God. I believe that the way you have addressed this subject will help countless people to find the will of God for their individual situation, whatever that may be. Thank you, my brother!

Great lesson Cory! Totally agree and been preaching the same for a while although controversial. But was wondering how you would answer this: Should a pastor be willing to marry someone who has been divorced before or should he refuse since the remarriage although is not a perpetual state of sin still would be a sin at that moment according to Christ’s teaching. Thank you sir

Remarriage does not represent the relationship between Christ and the church. The question is how does remarriage reflect the image of Christ and his church. We cheat on God daily and he never divorces us. Marriage was meant to reflect that relationship. It is not a conversion issue but remarriage is definitely a sanctification issue and is not of God. There is no clause for remarriage in the new testament. If we believe in once saved always saved we must believe in once married always married. AMEN

I appreciate this. I come from a family where both my parents are divorced people who remarried. My dad had a wife who cheated on him & my mom had a husband who abused her a lot. Both of them met as teachers & decided to marry each other. My dad got saved during the marriage & my mom was already saved. They ended up raising my sister & I in the faith & my dad is one of the most Godly men I know. They technically would be in sin as a remarried couple due to my mom not having a spouse who cheated, but I can’t help but think that if they didn’t get married, I wouldn’t be here & walking with the Lord to this day so lol

I would like for someone to explain a repented heart of a person who has unjustifiably divorced and remarried. What gives that person a repented heart?

I don't know why there are some thanking you when you call this Biblical and you do not actually cover any of the texts in the new testament on re-marriage. In fact you use a text about a woman who is currently in not married out of context to educate on your own belief system. If you were not going to teach in full, then don't bother. If you're going to teach...teach. You are no different than those you speak of...the difference is where you chose to skew the text. It's the same false teachings whether you leave out or add to. Of course your not going to say you'll take down your channel for a video like this...but something for sure you know you'll say that one. Very disappointing.

1 Question- 1 Statement- If a pastor is the husband of 1 wife. Can a man be a pastor whose wife does not die be re-married and be in the office of a pastor. Obviously, Marcus Rogers is a false teacher but he has been married multiple while being in the faith. Does remarriage disqualify a man from being a pastor as he is supposed to be an example? The woman at the well is a poor example to support re-marriage not being a perpetual sin as she was not married- as Jesus said the man she was with was not her husband. Also the woman at the well was a Samaritan not a Jew- though she has those that were Jews in her bloodline. Jesus is not condoning her current relationship, so how can you use that to support your claim- it does n't make sense? Even Jesus himself said God hates divorce. The woman caught in the act of adultery was told to go and sin no more. Now for those that know the text and still re-marry or divorce, or those who see the video-it is similar to lying. I can understand one who did not know but to the one who knew, what the point of Jesus dying that we can bring the flesh subject, Jesus did not tell her to get remarried so she wont burn, He told her to believe upon Him. A Samaritan was like an unbeliever- she was not told to get married so she would be right, It's a question to show her disposition to being outside of the Word to receiving what Jesus was offering. Hence she would have no need for all these men she was obviously seeking something. Even Voddie Baucham said he won't re-marry someone who has been divorced, although he would not tell someone who is already re-married to get divorced. How do we come away from sin when some is allowed and some is not, this message to those who are considering re-marriage is saying it okay just repent after. He himself said it is not a perpetual sin. But it is for the person that remarries adulteress???? If you remarry a woman that committed adultery you're an adulterer (continuous) but if you willingly divorce and get remarried you are forgiving having known that from the beginning, cause you can't stay by yourself or be faithful to your vow to God to remain married (not person...God). This is a false teaching...surely what you believe not what scripture says...very contradictory.

I walked out of my marriage and never been married again. Its now 26 years ago.

Since the marriage was considered a sin, was it ever ordained by God? I mean how would it be a sin to leave a sinful marriage? I'm always confused on that verse, because no one can truly explain it.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we , that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Romans 6:1-2

There is no way the Holy Spirit would lead us to remarry an live in adultery. To often we do what is in our hearts and say it was of God when it is of us living in the flesh. Whether married to a believer or not, if separated or divorce we are to remain so. Many divorcees wrestle with this thought because they know it is wrong. We can't try to justify ourselves.

Amen brother. Thanks for clarification GOD is good.

Quick question... If I steal a car and I reconcile with God... May I keep the car?

In the woman at the well story, Jesus said the man who you are with now is not your husband, so that remarriage was not even recognized by Jesus, also the scripture says if you leave your spouse you Must remain single...

Matthew 19-9 The term Christ Jesus used was "fornication " He was referring to the Jewish custom of the betrothal or engagement period. He didn't use the term adultery because He was not speaking about marriage. You cannot remarry another. Be reconciled or stay single praying for your ex spouse salvation.

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate how you have shared the importance of reconciliation with God. What if a man or woman leaves and abandons their spouse?

Is a marriage supposed to be two people in one inder god or one if it happens twice it’s a blessing🙏🏼❤️

This is the error that has been preached in the church for 500 years. What God has joined let let no man separate. They are no longer two but one flesh. Repentance means to turn away from the sinful condition

And how can the second divorce be a sin if God doesn't recognize the second marriage as a marriage?

I left my wife because she was physically abusive towards me. I left so I wouldn't go to prison for putting my hands on her.

Can a husband re-marry if his wife wants a divorce because she’s fallen out of love? He wants to work it out but she’s done. Both spouses are professing Christians.

Beautiful! Thanks for breaking it down with the Holy scriptures. This was so eloquently done. Shalom🙏

The no grounds for divorce doctrine is usually supported by two sad groups of people. 1. The ones who have a spouse who left them and want the spouse to come back so they threaten the spouse with hell. 2. The whores in the marriage that want to be whores but don't want the spouse to leave so you threaten them with hell. Jesus clearly said you can leave if there is sexual immorality. Jesus is not expecting us to stay married to someone bringing us aids and herpes. Sexual immorality is the grounds Jesus gave for divorce. Corinthians mentions abandonment as a grounds for divorce. Paul said we are not under bondage (bound to a husband as long as he Liveth) we are no longer under bondage and called to peace (we have peace with God in this area). Do not lay burdens on the people of God that God did not lay on us.

What if cheating was in the marriage you remarried do you suppose to divorce your second spouse and go back to your first one this is a tough sensitive subject to talk about but I’m just looking for God truth

Wait can someone help me out with this? I've never been married but if I ever do, she can't be divorced because that's adultery, and if I marry someone who's never been married I can't get a divorce under any circumstances? Why would I enter into something that there’s no way out of if it has the potential to complete tare my life apart? Especially in today's world.

Matthew 19:8 talks about hardness of heart as a valid reason for divorce. If a person does not want to repent or reconcile then divorce is probably the only valid option. 1 cor 7:15, says that But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. So this sums it up nicely for divorce. A hardened heart can make a person act as an unbeliever, the other person is not at fault for this circumstance. God has called us to live in peace. We cannot force anyone to be with us who does not want to. Not even God forces us. Had to learn it the hard way.... But God is good.

Thank you Corey.

Mark 10: 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be ONE FLESH: so then they are no more twain, but ONE FLESH. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth ADULTERY against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth ADULTERY. Romans 7:Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband IS BOUND by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband LIVETH, she be married to another man, she shall be called an ADULTERESS: but if her husband be DEAD she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. Luke 16:14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. 16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. 17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. 18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth ADULTERY: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth ADULTERY. 1 Corinthians 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord (JESUS), Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or BE RECONCILED TO HER HUSBAND: and let not the husband put away his wife. 1 Corinthians 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. Ephesians 5: 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be ONE FLESH. Hebrews 13:4 4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and ADULTERERS God will judge. Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of FORNICATION (premarital sex during Jewish betrothal- Matthew 1), causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. (AND WHOSEVER SHALL MARRY HER THAT IS DIVORCED COMMITTETH ADULTERY) Matthew 19: 3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4 And he (JESUS) answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be ONE FLESH? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but ONE FLESH. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I (JESUS) say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for FORNICATION, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. (AND WHOSO MARRIETH HER WHICH IS PUT AWAY DOTH COMMIT ADULTERY) 10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. Matthew 15: 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, ADULTERIES, FORNICATIONS, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:20 These are the things which DEFILE a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave her space to repent of her FORNICATION; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit ADULTERY with her into great TRIBULATION except they REPENT of their DEEDS. 23 And I (JESUS) will KILL her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your WORKS. Obviously, divorce and remarriage as long as the COVENANT spouse is still literally ALIVE is ongoing, committeth, active adultery. No practicing adulterer has eternal life- 1 Corinthians 5, 6:9-10, Galatians 5:19-21, Revelation 21:8, Revelation 2, 1 Timothy 1... repentance is to confess and forsake the sin to be given mercy- Proverbs 28:13.

What if you got a divorce without consummating the marriage?

Divorce followed by remarriage is living in adultery It is a sin. And as long as a man lives with a woman while the spouse is alive, the remarriage does not exist but is living in adultery.

I wrestle with this all the time 😢. I got married to someone who is divorced and I don’t want to go to hell for being an adulterer.

I appreciate this breakdown of the subject. It does make me ask the question of what is adultery according to 1 Corinthians 6:9?

Ok, I'm slightly off topic here, but not far. Question: does God hold Himself to these same standards, with regards to Israel and His eventual remarriage to the Church (New Jerusalem)? Accordingly, a man or woman cannot remarry after divorce, whike the other is still alive. God loves Israel, theres no doubt about it, and He will forgive her, up to the very last moment. She has rejected Jesus (in large part), and chises to remain under the law. Will God not then, judge her according to the law? In Gods eyes, Israel has had a problem with her lude behavior. Her behavior dictates her judgement, which is deth. (Exodus 22:19, Lev.20:16, Deut.27:21). Gods witness, Ezekiel 23:20, states that she does such things. So, can God remarry, and marry the Church, while Israel remains alive? Or does He love her so much, that He is willing to reconcile with her, even to the very last moment? Is He choosing to remain unmarried, as long as Israel remains alive...?

Cory your wrong on remarriage. You can divorvce but you cannot remarry while your spouse still lives. Mark 10:10-11, Luke 16:18, Roman's 7:2-3, 1Cor7:10-11, Matt 5:32, Matt 19:9. The word Jesus used was fornication or the betrothal period. Jesus used 2 different words. Jesus said fornication not adultery. You take a covenant to death do you part and there are consequences to sin and living in adultery.

Remarriage is not scriptural for any reason except after the death of one’s spouse. Even if one spouse is guilty of sexual immorality. The exception clause is stated ONLY for the question of divorce, NOT remarriage. Plus Jesus was answering their question in regards to Moses’ law, not Christianity. Paul states in 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 that separation or reconciliation are the only two options because you are BOUND TILL DEATH, 1 Corinthians 7:39, Romans 7:1-3. Remarriage is not part of God’s plan for forgiveness, reconciliation, or redemption. Remarriage, if your spouse is still living, is done purely out of fleshly and worldly desires. Reconciliation is God’s will and perfect plan, not remarriage!

Why did jesus apostles say His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry?

I have a question for you Sir, if I get born again & I am married to someone who is HIV postive. We separated when I get saved so i now go back to my wife although we separated & beg them whislt I know I am inviting death back into my life

It's all good until JOHN THE BAPTIST brings you to the front of the congregation. To Divorce is a evil HEART issue.

1Coritnian 7:11 clearly says “Let her remain unmarried “

Ok I have never been married, but I am dating someone who was the second husband to a woman who divorced him and now herself is on her 3rd husband... So who would be committing adultery? I'm asking because we want to marry??

Wow, this was insightful and helpful Corey. I would like your opinion. The bible says a MAN should not divorce his wife. Why do you think WOMEN are filing for divorce about 80% of the time and 90% of the time if they have a college degree? I definitely include church going bible reading women in this stat. What is your opinion on this? If you have bible for it, that would be super great.

Such a touchy subject. Thank you for the breakdown brother

1. God hates divorce. (Malachi 2:16) 2. It is only by death that the person is considered “unmarried.” (Romans 7:2-3) 3. If the person does divorce then they must remain unmarried. (1 Corinthians 7:10-11) 4. Only grounds for divorce are adultery (Matthew 5:32) and abandonment by an unbeliever (1 Corinthians 7:15) When Abraham gave up Sarah as his “sister” to the Pharaoh, God sent plagues, and Pharah was revealed that she was married and he returned her back to Abraham. Romans 7:3: if the person lives with another man while her husband is alive that person is considered an adulterous. It seems to me that if that person doesn’t want to be considered an adulterous then that person needs to stop living with the person that isn’t their spouse. There is more in the scripture but I believe this will suffice. There could be a debate in regards of the person being in or out of Christ at the time of divorce but I don’t see/know/think how this would allow remarriage though. Maybe I’m wrong this is my stance though. Marriage is Holy and sacred. The disciples even said to Jesus “if such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” Jesus reply was that some men have been made eunuchs by themselves for the kingdom of heaven. This is such a tough subject but let’s use the substitute sin principle for remarriage. A remarriage relationship is a sin. We all agree. So if I repent of this remarriage relationship this means I can stay in the relationship?….. now let’s replace the sin with a different one. A homosexual relationship is a sin. We all agree. So if I repent of this homosexual relationship this means I can stay in the relationship? What do you think?

Is there a 11th commandment that says thou shall not divorce?

What is a person supposed to do if their spouse is in prison for life for attempting to take their life?

Life is very short and eternity is forever. If you are divorced just stay single or reunite with your spouse. Now there will be many in the church that will say go ahead get remarried God will understand because He wants you to be happy. Don't fall for this trap because many and I mean many do. The word is clear without any opposing scriptures about this matter. Jesus himself taught this lesson to those who are able to receive it.

I couldn't tell if you really covered remarriage of the faithful spouse or just the unfaithful

Very faulty philosophy here. The Bible does not say that woman was divorced; she could have been widowed. He also doesn't affirm her behavior if she is an adulteress. This is not the point of that story at all. So if I confess the first time I sleep with a live-in girlfriend, then I'm okay to continue in fornication? Or likewise with pornography? What about murder for a serial murderer? Adulterers and adultresses, he who confesses AND FORSAKES his sin will find mercy.

Question Corey on the reconciliation, what if the other person in the marriage remarry, there's no room for reconciliation in those cases so does that mean the remaining divorced spouse stay single?

So if i repent of adultery, that means I need to get out of the adulterous relationship aka 2nd marriage...

What if a Christian hears this message after they have been divorced, would it be accepted if they remarried?

What happens in the case of spousal abandonment...just walked out of the marriage and divorced his spouse?

I do have a question (and maybe you answer it in the video), but is it considered reconciliation to remarry our divorced ex, or is that also sinful? Thanks!

Please explain in relation to the tachings of Jesus our Lord: "Deuteronomy 24 ► King James Bible Par ▾ Law of Divorce (Matthew 5:31-32; Luke 16:18-18) 1When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his 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. 2And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. 3And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; 4Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance."

Another great teaching. Thank you Corey!

...keep reading 1st Corinthians 7, "How do you know if you will save your HUSBAND." The Bible does not use the term ex-husband nor ex-wife. Check the Greek in Luke 16:18, it is in the present continuing verb tense. Whoever puts away away his wife and marries another commits (continuing verb tense) adultery. The last verse of 1st Cor. 7 should clarify any confusion about that chapter. The wife is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. Romans 7 confirms this. Like any sin, we are called to repent (confess & stop the sinning).

Hi there! Will you do this same video referencing scripture using the KJV?

How can a remarried person repent for their sins if they are still in sin? Once you repent you are sorry for your wrong and then you have to strive to come out of that sinful state. While that person is in their second marriage. They are living in adultery and in a constant state of back sliding. that person has to come out of that adultress marriage in order to fully repent. I think you are wrong on this one.

Nothing is more confusing in scripture than this issue of divorce and remarriage. I've been plowing through numerous videos discussing this topic, and I'm still confused. There is the old testament(law) and new testament(grace). There is context to consider and a little mind reading. I wish God would have made it clearer and not left it up to interpretation. The only thing I understand is that God hates divorce. There are a lot of scenarios to consider and we don't want to mess things up. We want to enter the kingdom and to be blessed. I'm single, but I pray for correct understanding.

Is being in a state of remarriage (while ex is still alive) being in a state of sin? I understand God forgives but does He forgive while you’re still in the state of sin?

? What if you both were not believers when you were married and got a divorce. Then went and had a child out of wedlock with someone else and then remarried that person. And then you were both saved and are serving the Lord 1:09 now . Should you leave that person and children and go back to first wife?

Why happens if you got divorced and got remarried and years later you come to the Lord. What do you do with your now wife of 7 years who’s been nothing but a blessing to your life… and also even if you stay in that marriage shouldn’t you enter heaven based on the work on the cross

What if you spouse dies? Are we allowed to remarry then?

9:50 - but the scripture doesn't say she was ever divorced, unless you know something more about the greek it was written in. It is possible she was widowed 5X

Yes it is a Sin. Thank the Lord for his mercies and forgives to us that we don’t deserve. Thank you Jesus for what you did on the Cross. Repent and turn to Christ. He is Lord

Brother Corey you just validated why I called myself the Man at the Well, I had 8 wives even calling myself a Christian. I repented and am no longer under sexual compulsion like Apostle Paul said, coming up on 8yrs. So now I will never marry again, but respect marriages

What do i do once i start a family with someone else? I didn't understand at the time i started dating and made a kid with the woman im with now, So do i leave. I am confused as to what to do. If i leave it hurts the child but if I stay i go to hell. I am just looking for some guidance on what to do

This stance is used by many abusive men to keep the victim with them. The women feels she has to stay and be abused. Or he lies and says he has changed, she goes back and he kills her.

thank for the teaching Corey. i have been curious about this

What if you remarried before understanding this or even being saved? What is it considered?

You are brave to delve into such a controversial issue. Being a divorcee myself and being a missionary evangelist it's an issue I had to deeply examine this issue alot. I've found it's very complicated and relies alot on translations of Hebrew and Greek that many English translations lack and an understanding of the cultural backgrounds. But as an evangelist IMO it's a major sin in the Western church and many bible teachers aren't helping. I've thought of doing my own video series on it, but not yet. Just a few pointers from your video. Malachi 2:16 should NOT be translated as "I hate divorce" but more like the NIV "the man who HATES and divorces his wife" . Likewise, Deuteronomy 24:1-4 did not give permission for a man to divorce his wife under the Old covenant. RATHER as Hebrew scholars John Walton (from Wheaton College) says that verse 4 it s the point and all translations are incorrect. It should say " she caused herself to declare herself defiled" so it's a specific cultural situation. In the end the OT passages are irrelevant. Also most scholars on the NT seemingly forget that Israel was a polygamous society and even Herod the Great had two wives. Polygyny was never a sin. But a woman was not permitted to divorce or have more than one husband. That doesn't apply IMO in our Western monogamous society in the exactly the same way. IMO, the case of John the Baptist rebuking Herod over his remarriage to Heridius is a case of the necessity of leaving a remarriage.. especially since Herodius divorced her husband Philip.(See Josephus) Perhaps you can interview Dr.John Walton on Deuteronomy 24 and Malachi 2. I'm sure he'd oblige. I write this not as a critique but question for further investigation.

I believe one of the most important things to take away from what Corey shared is that, the acts themselves (divorce/ remarriage) are sinful but, they don't damn you to a perpetual state of sin. I was married, and divorced, young. My current wife and I have been married almost 17 years, and my ex- wife longer than that. Am I to believe that God would have us to leave the spouses, and children we've had with them, to remarry one another? I don't believe that God would be glorified in that. I love what you and your team are doing Corey. Keep allowing God to use you. Be blessed!

Thank you for delivering some wisdom!❤

Help: Was married. Things were very bad as far as peace goes. Wife arguing and yelling everyday and taking our child away for hours before coming back home. I took my ring off and announced we may have to divorce but also said we need to get to know one another more. I moved out with a desire to make it work. Wife went to courthouse and filed for divorce. I couldn’t see my child for 2.5months after. In the mean time, another guy moved in with her before our court date of divorce. Adultery. She had these papers issued to me on my birthday. We were married for 3 weeks only. Am I free to remarry?

Just now seeing this post on 07/2024! I just have questions and I’m not so sure of the answers. There are so many things that does happen in marriages these days that maybe the Bible is so clear on: 1. What if one spouse is a believer (became a believer after the marriage) and the other is not a believer. The unbelieving spouse commits adultery a lot, living with another woman, physically abuses the spouse… what should a wife or husband do in this situation. 2. What if they are both believers in Christ 3. There are situations where the wife gets pregnant by another man or husband impregnates another woman/women. 4. Spouse becomes involved in homosexuality or is now claiming to be a homosexual. 5. Spouse is going through sex change procedures 6. Spouse is sexually abusing the children 7. Husband impregnates daughter 8. Spouse tries to kill the other in order to be with another person (or whatever the reason)? The list can go on with various scenarios. I am not trying to be difficult, but the Bible doesn’t directly address some of the issues spouses face in our society we live in today, as mentioned above, especially #4-8! Some are purposefully divorcing their spouses because they want to be with another person. Their hearts are not right to begin with! Some divorce over ridiculous, minor issues in my opinion. We can plainly see divorcing would definitely be a sin in such cases. But what about some of the issues we face in society today that the Bible may not address? Love your videos! PS: What about 1 Corinthians 7:15. This is the scripture my eyes fell upon so many years ago. I was living in limbo with a very unfaithful man. He adultery goes deep; dating other women, living with another woman. I was married for 8 years, separated for the last 2 years! I was willing to do whatever God wanted me to do. While reading the Word, my eyes fell on this scripture in 1 Corinthians. I became a believer 2 years after the marriage. He never did! I remained walking in love no matter what was thrown at me! I tried Christian counseling, but they wanted me to confess hatred for what he did, but I didn’t feel hate towards him. After one session, he didn’t want to go back. He did admit to me that I truly was a Godly woman, even more so than his own mother whom he adored. His plan was to blame the failure of the marriage on me, but he couldn’t do so because I obeyed God and walked in love. It was clear he didn’t want the marriage. So, I told him he would have to get the divorce, and I wanted to go back to my maiden name! I obeyed God and chose not to take alimony, even though he took me for everything during the marriage. Even though the marriage failure was not my fault, I suppose I can never remarry. That’s been 43 years ago!! I was engaged about 5 years ago, but the gentleman died before we got married. Yes, I have had a few sexual failures, sins to be exact along the way, not with the gentleman I was engage to. We had an 8 year engagement due t major health issues on his part! I have asked for forgiveness for everything. I hold no hatred in my heart for the things my ex did to me. We were both young and ignorant about a lot of things. I just want to do whatever God wants me to do, and be satisfied. I am just grateful and completely taken back to the Grace and Mercy God has shown me. It makes me fall deeper in love with Him and wanting to do what is right in His eyes. I take pleasure in doing so because of how immeasurably deep He truly loves me, and still learning of His love ❤✝️! Learning more about His love for me, causes me to want to walk in obedience. God truly is good, more than good!!

Yes. Unfortunately most of my family is divorced or remarried.

Can’t resist not clicking on the video when I see that perfect bald head

That was so complicated I still do not understand if I'm married and get divorced and get remarried again will I go to hell it's like that's the bottom line answer do you go to hell if you divorce and remarried this yes or no answer please somebody

My wife and their then 10 month old son were abandoned by her first husband after he moved them across country to the desert from Florida. She had to scrape and beg to get enough money to buy a bus ticket to Get them back to Florida with her mom. I Met her 3 years after that, her being divorced from that guy who left them with nothing and never returned and we began talking and a year and a half later we were married. This November 6th will be 30 years. What else was she supposed to do in that situation? He left them with nothing and never came back (military) i gave them both a ring at the wedding ceremony because i wanted to prove to them i was never going to be that person... ever! We're both believers and even more so now 30 years after getting married (her second, my first) So even in that case, we're considered sinners? Hmmmm.....

I wish my ex wife was as committed to these biblical truths as she claimed to be, I was divorced without being told why, now she's engaged and still in the same church teaching at bible studies.

Thank you Cory, I've been divorced once .. and remarried to the man im married to now for 18 years. I know that divorce was necessary.
