I have a question for those of you who don't believe a Christian should remarry after a divorce except for very specific circumstances. You certainly have scripture to back up your ground. I am not asking these questions to stir up trouble. I honestly want to know.
Here's the questions;
How do you personally, or your church deal with Christians who have divorced and remarried? Do you tell them they are living in sin?
Do you go to them as the bible teaches us to do with those out of God's will, then ask them to leave the body of believers if they won't seperate?
Do you allow them to have any part in church service?
Or because they are already remarried do you just accept it? If so, how do you get around 1 Corinthians 5:12
'For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?'
What about members of your church who are divorced who God's hand is obviously on? They are living a life that shows a true commitment to Jesus. Do you think that every time they are with there wife they are committing adultery?
I really struggle with this issue. If you take those particular verses it's hard to make an argument for remarriage.
Yet I personally know couples who are remarried who are doing incredible things for God, both in the church and in the world.
Is divorce truly an unforgivable sin if you remarry?

BTW: I have been married to my wonderful wife for twenty years and will be until I die or Jesus returns in the clouds.
