I don't condemn you, Larry. You post often. "Obey the words of Jesus. He will change you from the inside. You can live a Kingdom life." Jesus called remarriage adultery. You were disobedient. You chose not to remain single. You remarried. I was wondering how you reconciled it. You gave your response. You say you are blessed. I won't bring it up again.
TLWF views on divorce and remarriage are pretty convenient for those wanting to remarry. TLWF views ignore the teachings of Jesus too.
An ex-pat I know, who attends church, first spouse died and the second spouse recently left. Irreconcilable differences. The pastor provided the following to the ex-pats concern about remarriage. It differs from John's and G&M's take on divorce and remarriage.
1.Marriage is a "one-flesh" relationship of divine establishment and extraordinary significance in the eyes of God (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5; Mark 10:8),
2.Only God, not man, can end this one-flesh relationship (Matthew 19:6; Mark 10:9—this is why remarriage is called adultery by Jesus: he assumes that the first marriage is still binding, Matthew 5:32; Luke 16:18; Mark 10:11),
3.God ends the one-flesh relationship of marriage only through the death of one of the spouses (Romans 7:1-3; 1 Corinthians 7:39),
4.The grace and power of God are promised and sufficient to enable a trusting, divorced Christian to be single all this earthly life if necessary (Matthew 19:10-12,26; 1 Corinthians 10:13),
5.Temporal frustrations and disadvantages are much to be preferred over the disobedience of remarriage, and will yield deep and lasting joy both in this life and the life to come (Matthew 5:29-30).
