For believers who have deep wounds and scars from the troubles of bad marriages, we pray that God's Word may heal, that Jesus Christ may be the Great Physician for them. Study with me the Bible's teaching on remarriage . The Bible teaches that there may be no remarriage unless one's spouse has died. Some claim that two New Testament passages especially are grounds for remarriage after divorce, even when one's spouse is still living. Apart from the interpretation of these texts, consider what has happened in the churches that have taken this view of these texts.
Desertion is taken to mean almost everything, from mental cruelty to being aloof.
In every other passage of Scripture, God makes it very plain that He does not allow remarriage. If one appeals to Deuteronomy 24 as grounds for remarriage, he must first read Matthew 19 and hear what Jesus said about that kind of appeal. We explained Deuteronomy 24 in our last paper. Matthew 19 is more important. The exception is to Jesus' prohibition of divorce, and not of remarriage.
