Anyone who divorces...

I was divorced and now re-married but it never crossed my mind that i was committing adultery. I'm a christian but I'm not very religious...let's just say I believe in Jesus Christ but I don't believe in everything that the bible says. A lot of things in the bible were misinterpretedly written and read. I divorced my ex because our marriage wasn't working out, period. I would be totally miserable if I stayed in the marriage. I find it logical to divorce than be miserable for the rest of my life. We all deserve to be happy as we only have one life to live.

The bible is very clear about that but as time goes by people have come up with their own definition of what adultery is maybe because they separated the church between the state and that became a consolation to those who wants divorced. There's no divorce in the Philippines but there's annulment, which means that the marriage should have not taken place in the first place. Are those people who went through annulments considered as adulterous too? Cheers!

Matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his church; the grace that it is given perects the human love of the spouses, strenghtens their unity, and sanctifies them on the way to eternal life. The remarriage of persons divorced from a living spouse contradicts the plan and law of God as taught by Christ. However, it can happen that one of the spouses is the innocent victim of a divorce; this spouse therefore has not contradicted the moral law of God. There is a considerable difference beween a spouse who has sincerely tried to be faithful the marriage and is unjustly abandoned, and one who through his own grave fault destroys a valid marriage.

Hi Moorange. I guess I'm Christian, but I'm not devout at all. I believe in a supreme being, who I call God, but I believe She's more compassionate, forgiving, understanding and loving than any human being can imagine. Oh, and not to forget, she has a killer sense of humour! Devoutly religious people seem to believe in this vengeful, petty, small minded creature with zero sense of humour, and I can't help thinking, how arrogant of them to imagine that they're capable of compassion and forgiveness, whereas the God they worship is not. Doesn't make any sense to me! I think She's female, for one, which doesn't sit well with the bible bashers, and I think that if she spoke to us, the first thing she would say would be that she wants no part of that hate filled book, which was written by petty, small minded and nasty human beings, not God. I think most people who divorce, will think long and hard before going through the stress of it, and if the choice is between that, and living a life of misery, then they're doing the right thing. But yeah, if you go through that book, you'll find all kinds of contradictions! It doesn't really make any sense, to be honest.

oh could be true. good that here in my place did not practice divorce.

i dont like divorces.. and please to not to divorces :D

I have very deep doubts about this so called adultery. First of all, the pasage is taken out of the context. It has to be, but I won't go more on this direction while I can give some examples about thngs are in so called holly books which are miles away of present realities or even whorse, contradicting themself .. Anyway, according to me, adultery is when a man/woman is comited to a wife/husband and "going" for more wiht third parties. Else, if is unmarried, widow or divorced .. is free. Also, divorce may not be something people may want but often is the only way out of a impossible to continue relation. Is absurd and ridicoulos to force a couple to stay together if one or both do not want that anymore. Plain stupid for a he or a she to destroy his/her life just because sometime in the past have made an error.
