"God Himself is fed-up with His church condemning
those who have had a divorce and married again,
and those who may need a divorce and will
remarry! Looking for the TRUTH concerning a
Christian marriage, divorce and being married
again as taught in the Bible? It's in the book
Divorce God's Will?" (Stephan Gola)

  divorce is right or wrongyou will have the
  Knowledge of the Truth and the Holy Spirit
  Himself will guide you.

  married again. Divorce was never a sin in

"So, before we judge divorced people and give
them "Biblical concussions" about their status,
the question we must ask ourselves is this Does
God want divorced people to be unhappy and alone
for-ever?...The Refiner's Fire believe He would
rather see us remarried than to watch us commit
out-of-wedlock sexual sins. (The Refiners Fire
(Messianic Jewish Website).

Is divorce the "unforgivable sin"? Certainly not
in Scripture. Is a person, once divorced, still
married? Obviously not. May unmarried people
(whether never married or formerly married) marry
and attempt to live according to God's original
and continuing ideal? Of course, and who would
dare say otherwise? (Edward fudge)

Who Has the Right to Marry?

• THOSE NEVER MARRIED  Heb. 134
• THOSE WHOSE SPOUSE DIES  Rom. 72
• THOSE WHO PUT AWAY THEIR SPOUSE FOR FORNICATION

"But this James does nothing more than drive to
the Law and to its works.  Besides, he throws
things together so chaotically that it seems to
me he must have been some good, pious man, who
took a few sayings from the disciples of the
Apostles and thus tossed them off on paperIn a
word he wanted to guard against those who relied
on faith without works, but was unequal to the
task" (Martin Luther).

"Firstly, because in direct opposition to St.
Paul and all the rest of the bible, it ascribes
justification to works, and declares that Abraham
was justified by his works when he offered up his
son.  St. Paul, on the contrary, in Romans 43,
teaches that Abraham was justified without works,
by his faith alone...(Martin Luther Selections
from his Writings" Dillenberger, page 35).
