Sound marriage, divorce, and remarriage absolutes
The marriage union is between a man and a woman. (Matthew 19:4)
Marriage is for life. (Romans 7:1-3)
The marriage union is never revoked in the eyes of the Lord. (1 Corinthians 7:39)
Marriage is permanent. (Mark 10:11-12, Romans 7:1-3)
The only legal way to remarry, according to Divine law, is if the former spouse is dead. (Romans 7:1-3)
Adultery on one part gives no cause to the other for remarriage. (Matthew 19:9, Luke 16:18)
Remarriage is adultery if the former spouse is still alive. (Romans 7:1-3)
To marry a divorced person is adultery. Therefore these two must separate. Many agree that it is sin,
but disagree they should separate. This is the same as saying they need not to separate from their sins.
Adultery through remarriage places the person in perpetual disobedience to the Word of God. (Romans
7:1-3)
There are no legal grounds for divorce once marriage has been consummated. (Matthew 19:9, 1
Corinthians 7:39)
Adultery is a work of the flesh and those who practice such things disqualify themselves from the
kingdom of God. They have no ‘saved’ status according to the Gospel. (Galatians 5:19-21)
Those who are in Christ walk not after the flesh. (Romans 8:1)
The only good divorces are the ones from this world, or from adulterous relationships.
The marriage covenant is not just some human contract which can be broken. (Matthew 19:6)
What the world honors is an abomination in the eyes of God. (Luke 16:15)
He does not bend at all concerning this issue. (All of the above)
The moral laws of God equally apply to every person, godly or ungodly. (Luke 16:18 “Whosoever”)
Every teaching on marriage in the New Testament upholds marriage and disallows divorce.
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife
hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and
white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they
which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.” (Revelation 19:7-9)
