Topic: SATAN’S #1 TARGET

[Graybeard]

He's married, divorced, then gets remarried, then becomes a Christian.  Would not the sin of being divorced be removed from him as far as the east is from the west, just like all the other sins he committed before he was a Christian?

 I would say yes, but I'm sure some will say no. I still say it could very easily be referring to having multiple wives, not divorce. Am I the only one who sees this? If so, why? Remember the culture, multiple wives was probably more common than divorce.

 I agree with Graybeard on this.  But have been told that you did not  change the sin because you are still divorced....therefore the sin still exists and you are still sinning.  SO you haven't repented.  HMMM...this one always facinates me on the answers.  But now I have another question for those who believe differently. What if I am married 1 time only and my husband is divorced.   Are we both living in sin?  AM I not really married?  If he leaves me to go back to his first wife would that not be another sin?  What if children are involved?  What if the first wife has remarried and does not want him?  What if it was the wife who divorced him....who is the sinner?

No, I see that, too.  I think it could mean divorce or multiple wives.

I think part of it, too, would depend on the reason for divorce.  Didn't Paul preach that divorce was permissable in times of adultery? (Matthew 19:9, "except for marital unfaithfulness") 

Or if the husband was an unbeliever and left the wife, she was then free? (I Cor. 7:15)

But then what about a man who abuses his famil.  I cannot believe God would want a women or children to stay in that type of situation.

I have to agree.  I"m not going to say what God would want, since I don't know specifically what the Bible says about that, but I wouldn't tell a woman she had to stay or she would be sinning.
