This is what I need to hear. Bad thing is it could be years.

This is my first marriage and his second; she divorced him. We got married in 2008, so that means I need to divorce him and let them be together and be by myself.

No, I do not think this means that you have to divorce your husband so that he can remarry his first wife. His first wife may never want to re-marry him. They got divorced for a reason. I will do some research and get back with you on the subject. But in the meantime ask your Pastor. Your Pastor is the watchman over your soul.

You have to remember, God hates divorce, but God forgives divorce. Divorce is not the unpardonable (unforgiveable) sin. God would never command His children to forgive if He was not going to forgive. God will forgive divorce. I do not condone divorce, but divorce is not, I repeat not the unpardonable sin in God's eyesight.

I stand on the Word of God. But we must know the Word of God. Do your homework. Seek God’s face and get in God’s Word for yourself. Talk to your Pastor and ask him what does this Scripture mean.

I would pray and fast diligently about your particular circumstance. I agree Pastors are good to consult, but in the church today, many will not feel comfortable sharing the true and complete meaning behind the scriptures. Many fear that by being revealing the true nature of these scriptures, they may alienate or offend parishioners, and no Pastor wants to do this. This is why I believe one MUST ask God. He WILL answer you. He wants you to have full understanding. Yes, God hates divorce and not just merely because it is a major destructive sin, but because its effects penetrate through the generations and taints them. The Lord may reveal some very surprising things to you as He did to me when I asked Him about my situation. I will keep you in my prayers as you seek Him on this matter. Be blessed!

Just to clarify further on 1 Corinthians 7:15, i.e., this verse itself does not stand alone but has a continuing verse to it and that is verse 16:-



" FOR how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife".

Verse 16 makes sense when verse 15 is connected to it and therefore in that context, Apostle Paul clearly was not advocating remarriage to another just because of one that is no longer being under bondage of that case (verse 15) but rather his statement in verse 16 was keeping the door for reconciliation by that bond free person.

And in the very same chapter, Apostle Paul made it clear about remarriage-verse 39 and vs 10-11. Another cross reference is in Romans 7:2-3



This revelation only came to me as I was seeking the Lord on this remarriage subject. Amen.
