Not necessarily. There are some questions that need to be answered first and even if it was wrong at the time, forgiveness, healing and wholeness can be found now in Jesus.<br />
<br />
1) Your salvation is not based upon any work, including getting remarried. It is based upon the work of Jesus through His blood and resurrection. We are saved by grace, through faith and that salvation is maintained by grace, not works.<br />

Not necessarily. There are some questions that need to be answered first and even if it was wrong at the time, forgiveness, healing and wholeness can be found now in Jesus.<br />
<br />
1) Your salvation is not based upon any work, including getting remarried. It is based upon the work of Jesus through His blood and resurrection. We are saved by grace, through faith and that salvation is maintained by grace, not works.<br />
<br />
2) If your first husband committed adultery, which encompasses sexual relations with another while in the marriage or after the divorce prior to you remarrying, he is guilty of adultery and you are free of the first marriage and freed to remarry. The same principle applies to your current husband if he was previously married.<br />
<br />
3) If you entered this marriage on grounds that are not biblical then there is need for repentance and forgiveness in order for healing and wholeness, not unto salvation, but unto usabilty and blessing. Repentance in this case simply means recognizing that entering into a marriage that is not biblical is sin and requires agreeing with God that it was wrong based on His Word. That does not mean one must separate, now that the marriage has been consumated, but rather one desires to be forgiven of the guilt associated with the sin that occured through such a marriage. When one comes in repentance and asks for forgiveness God is faithful to forgive us of all unrighteousness (1 Jn. 1:9).<br />
<br />
This is not an easy teaching or a popular one, but it follows the biblical guidelines for divorce and remarriage. The key is that a one can find forgiveness and healing, but it must be sought on God's terms, not man's.<br />

Johnny divorced me last week. Johnny knows and God knows that I did not commit adultery. Like every human being, I have my faults but, that is NOT one of them. Now, he can't say that. But, God can and will deal with him for that. It is my belief and my understanding of the Scriptures that I cannot remarry or have a relationship with a man until Johnny dies because I would be committing adultery if I did.

Your right and I do know this verse. He's not a bad person, and I did put on a lot of weight after our daughter died. I know I should be rightously angry over some of his behavior...but I think my own guilt over the weight gets in the way of standing up for myself. I was never heavy before, I used to model when I was much younger...I feel like I've done something terrible by getting fat.<br />

Lol....ya know...I vent so much here...I promise ya'll..I'm actually a pretty cheerful person....but I don't really tell people in real time much, I actually joke a lot...ya know if your being a clown no one knows anything is wrong.<br />
<br />
Yeah..I know it's adultery...I just have a hard time with my own failings so I don't always look to closely at elses.<br />
<br />
Jesus knew that the Jews had become hard hearted. Many were divorcing their wives at a very high rate. He therefore set an adultery guideline to prevent them from just throwing their wives out into the streets. He then took it one step farther by telling them that they had to keep their thoughts pure. One of the many reasons the Jewish religious leaders did not like him.....he commanded a persons full heart and not just actions. One of the many reasons I love him. I can't quote scripture beautifully...most time I remember the words but not the verse...but He knows how much love and compassion I have for people in general and because He knows my heart...I don't have to prove myself through works.<br />
<br />

Christelle,<br />
<br />
Lets look at God's Word in Matthew as Jesus says the following:<br />
<br />
Mat. 5:28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.<br />
<br />
Instead of me trying to explain the verse to you I will ask a question. How do you interpret this verse? (No trick here. I am not trying to trap you. Seeking the answer and discovering it yourself will drive it home to you.) What does it say?<br />
<br />

This is a great topic for me as I am not sure yet whether I am facing a divorce or not.<br />

My first marriage was definite biblical grounds....five girlfriends in the four years we were married....that I know of.<br />
<br />
I know before we seperated the first time, my husband "experimented" with other men. Now he says he is not gay, but he now is involved in internet porn. He made a comment the other day right in front of me the one actress would probably "get her gorgeuos body right back" after pregnancy.…

He made a comment the other day right in front of me the one actress would probably "get her gorgeuos body right back" after pregnancy. I had so many responses I wanted to make to that that I just chose to shut up. Sometimes it feels to me as though he is trying to "prove his straightness".<br />

Am I wrong in assuming that he commits adultery every time he watches porn? I know that if he leaves I will evetually want to find a nice christian man. i enjoy being a wife and I think I'm pretty good at it...ok...well...maybe I haven't been so good at choosing who to be a wife to, but I think I have learned from that. ...............yes ...he does…tag:www.allaboutgod.net,2008-06-14:1383940:Comment:1369592008-06-14T03:38:30.810Zcandyhttp://www.allaboutgod.net/profile/candy9

Point of clarification: When I say above "Adultery may be committed by a spouse after a legal divorce has taken place" the term "may" relates to it can still occur after divorce, not that it is permissable or acceptable.
