Dear Cinnaman:
May God continue to bless you.
Question:
Can a christian get a divorce and remarry?
Answer:
This question should have been answered if you had read the divorce page on the website.

It stated that, there is one ground listed in the bible for divorce. Fornication is the ONLY reason given in the bible for divorce. Now, if you want a divorce, you MUST also check your motives.
1. Why do you want to get a divorce?
2. Have you honestly access the marriage before thinking about leaving? Is the grass greener on the other side?
3. If you were to get a divorce without any legitimate reason for it, then it would be sin. However I often tell others that, I have learned we need a direct revelation from God to know his will, concerning the marriage and divorce. Why wonder about things when God is alive and able to speak. It is simple and plain. Ask him! If you find it challenging to receive God’s direction for your life. This can be an indication that further growth may be needed in your life. If we are christians and if we are not able to receive from God we may need to really examining our spiritual life to see where we can grow. He is not dead, he is alive, ask him.
Knowing God’s will can be tricky but he desires us to understand his will. If you continue to pray and ASK him to reveal his will to us. The bible says that he is faithful and just, therefore he will help. We need to ask him to TEACH us to completely trust him and follow his will. The bible says that he opened the understanding of the disciples. We can ask him to do that continually in our life. Just like we learned to walk or ride a bicycle, we can learn how to discern his will.
The bible says that whatsoever a man soweth, so shall he reap. Please know this if we sin, there will be a price to pay. God can manifest this price in many different ways.
If you feel this advice is of great help I would love to ask your prayers, asking God to provide the means to continue to do this, in righteousness and with his wisdom.
Yours
Vince
