∙ 8y agoSome Christians believe divorce to be a sin. One such view is posted below. Be aware, however, that not all Christians agree with this point of view. Ray McIntyre, Supervisor.
yes divorce is a sin. from the pit of freaking Hell.
You should not put the children in that situation.
I agree there's a lot of torment that goes into the lives of the children because of their parents' divorce.
Yet, also The Bible clearly states that unless it is caused by sexual immorality, divorce is considered adultery, which of course makes it a sin. Both remarriage and marrying a divorced person would in consequence be considered a sin too because the divorced person is considered an adulterer/adulteress.
I got this from Matthew 5:32
"But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
Proverbs 4:25-27
For the Lord, the God of Israel says "I hate divorce and marital separation and him who covers his garment (his wife )with violence.
Therefore keep a watch upon your spirit that you can be sure that the force of His will is at work with you in the process.

∙ 15y agoIt is all according who you ask. In the eyes of the Roman Catholic, divorce does not disolve the marriage bond. Therefore remarriage, without an annulment would be considered sinful, and would separate the couple from the sacramental life of the church. An annulment is not a form of Catholic divorce. As marriage is considered to be one of the seven Sacraments, an annulment is a decree stating that a Sacrament was not exchanged between the two parties Mathew 5:32
but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.
ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ἀπολύων τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ παρεκτὸς λόγου πορνείας ποιεῖ αὐτὴν μοιχευθῆναι καὶ ὃς ἐὰν ἀπολελυμένην γαμήσῃ μοιχᾶται. Strong # pornia 4202 in Leviticus 18:6 None of you shall approach a close relativeto have sexual intercourse with her. I am the LORD. The same Strong # is used for "sexual intercourse" in the Septuagint Hebrew: close relative (Saadia). Sh'er in Hebrew. Or, 'flesh,' that is, one's flesh and blood (Ibn Janach; Radak, Sherashim).
sexual offense
Literally, 'to uncover nakedness,' since this is the first part of the sexual act (Ramban on 20:17; Ralbag). The word galah here may also mean 'be exiled', and hence le-galoth ervah may be translated, 'to exile nakedness' or 'to pervert sexuality' (cf. Targum Yonathan). It is this parallel that the church argues that sexual immorality (πορνείας) is not the same as adultery (πορνείας) but something against the divine law as stated in Levitcus. Finally compare Jesus' re-statement in Mark 10:9 of Genesis 2:24 The Church's teaching on adultery: forgiveness (almost impossible - but we as Christians are called to do the impossible)

∙ 9y agoFrom what I understand of the issue within Christianity it is a sin if anyone in the marriage wants to divorce, but if one partner does not want it then that person has not actually committed the sin until they agree to the other's wishes.
You probably need a Cannon Lawyer to get the detail right on this though.

∙ 13y agoAccording to the Bible and Jesus Himself it is. Many Christians today follow what Moses allowed rather than what Jesus and the Apostles taught.

Does God forgive us if we marry a second time before our ex is dead and does He expect us to divorce the 2nd husband in order to make the sin right?
God will forgive you, however just because your ex dies does not amend the sin because you got a divorce with them. It does not matter at all if you marry again if the person you were married to dies though, and you cannot "make a sin right."You can be forgiven by going to confession and by divorcing your 2nd husband you would have created another sin, you would not fix the first.More info.Jesus sets forths two legitimate reasons for divorce in Matthew 5, 19; desertion and adultery. Paul deals with marriage and divorce extensively in 1 Corinthians chapter 7.

If Catholics oppose same-sex marriage as sinful why do they not also oppose divorce as sinful?
You're talking apples and oranges. In point of fact, both of these things are sin, but of a different variety. Catholics are against divorce because a true sacramental marriage between a man and a woman lasts until death and there is nothing that anyone can do to separate them, a civil divorce may be allowed in certain extreme cases (abuse, etc.) but there is no actual divorce, they remain married, just living apart under a civil divorce. "Gay marriage" is an entirely different thing. It is rooted in the sin of sodomy which is actually sacrilege, the sin of sodomy is one of the four in the Bible of the "sins that cry to heaven for venegance" (along with murder, oppression of the poor and defrauding workers of their due wages).
