I can't tell you what Christian religion allows for remarriage but I can give Bible scripture on what the word of God says. You must first go back to the cause of divorce. In the book of Matthew chapter 5 verse 32 we are told that "whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultry; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultry". In Matthew 19:3-9 the Lord speaks again on the matter. The only reason ever given anywhere in the scriptures is for fornication. Now with that being said there are only two things that can sever or end a marriage. One being a divorce for the cause of fornication, the other being death. Now in this case being divorce, that is , you being the one that divorced your spouse for the cause of fornication or "adultery" then the word of God allows for remarriage. Now this also goes further in the word of God saying in 1 Corinthians 7:39 and Romans 7:2-3. I can go into great detail but this will give a good start to the answer you might be looking for.

Saints do not hold quite the same role for Lutherans as for Roman Catholics. The Lutheran liturgical calendar designates days of commemoration to believers who have gone before us as examples of Christian virtue and as people of faith. Lutherans pray in the example of the Saints and pray to be likened to them in faith. Lutherans do not, however, petition to the Saints for prayer, protection or blessing. If we are praying to God for patience and strenght, we may pray that He grant us a patience like that of the Virgin Mary. If we are praying for understanding and peace, we may pray that we are granted a sense of peace and understanding like that of Saint Francis.

Although Martin Luther accepted the existence of purgatory early on in the reformation, having been a former Roman Catholic priest, he later rejected it. Today you would be hard pressed to find any Lutheran that still believed in the existence of a purgatory.

Nobody "established" Lutheranism, per se, but it grew out of the Reformation started by the teachings of Martin Luther (and his challenges to the Roman Catholic church), and his adherents. The Lutheran Church resulted when Luther, a Roman Catholic monk, openly questioned the teachings of the Roman Catholic church, in particular, the nature of penance, the authority of the pope and the usefulness of indulgences, which were monetary payments of penalty believed to absolve one of one's sins. The Reformation of the church began with Luther's act of nailing his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church, Germany, in 1517. That document contained an attack on papal abuses and the sale of indulgences by church officials. After Luther died (still regarding himself as a Catholic, not a "Lutheran"), the fledgling Lutheran church struggled with its own divisions. The Book of Concord was an attempt to heal this divisiveness and it came to serve as the source book for Lutheran orthodoxy. "The Book of Concord: The Lutheran Confessions of 1529-1580" is a collection of confessions of faith published in 1580, which outline the doctrines of the Lutheran church. The book was first published on 25 June 1580, fifty years after the presentation of the Augsburg Confession, the central document of the Lutheran reformation, to Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Augsburg.

The Office of the Keys is the special authority which Christ has given to his church on earth to forgive the sins of repentant sinners, but to withhold forgiveness from the unrepentant as long as they do not repent. - Luther's Small Catechism

Of course, the development of Lutheranism harm catholicism. It makes the member

of catholics divided and loss its members. And later it makes the popularity slowly decline.

Eucharist, Holy Communion, Sacramental Union, the real and litteral presence of God in and with the elements of consecrated unlevened bread and wine (body and blood).

The saints are those cleansed of sins through God's mercy at the altar where the Sacrament of Communion is served. Lutherans approach the altar as sinners and leave as saints; and this process continues weekly according to the liturgical calendar.

There is no such thing. A wittness is only a witness, they do not mix religons.

The Old Testament names Yahweh and Elohim are sometimes combined to form Jehovah as a sign of respect, because God's name is too precious to be used lightly. Many Church names and hymns will contain Jehovah in titles or lyrics. This falls in line with not using the LORD's name in vain for many people and congregational members.

This use of Jehovah isn't to be confused with the theology of a Jehovah's Witness.

No, Dr. Martin Luther proclaimed the Holy Trinity (Godhead).

God the Father: LORD (Yahweh)

Spirit of the LORD: Holy Spirit/Ghost

Angel of the LORD: Christ Jesus, true Son of God (Word of God)

Lutherans denounce: modalism, unitarianism, transition of the Godhead, and etc...

Confession is incorporated into the normal church service in the Lutheran church.

There is no official policy regarding the practice of applause during Lutheran worship. It is, however traditionally viewed as inappropriate during the liturgy. The musical offerings and other parts of worship are not to be viewed as "entertainment" for an "audience." Those who offer their talents to worship, with insturmentation or singing, aide worship on behalf of the congregation. For this reason, worship assistants, acolytes and musicians often wear robes. The robe cloaks the individual and signifies the role or office and discourages celebration of the individual. Also, traditionally, the choir loft is behind the congregation, facing the altar. This is intended to prevent the performer/audience mentality and encourage all of the aspects of worship to be directed towards God. Those who defend the very contemporary, nontraditional practice of applause during worship often say that it is a gesture of appreciation to the musician, speaker or worship assistant. This is commonly challenged as inappropriate and distracting within the context of the liturgy by Lutheran worship leaders and theologians.

Yes, women are accepted as pastors in more liberal Lutheran churches.

yes. Like any other religious scriptures, they teach people to understand their purpose of life and how to lead it.

There is no official record of the height of the Lutheran Deaconess Hospital in Chicago, Illinois online. Undigitized city building records could show the dimensions of this hospital.

No US presidents so far have been Lutherans.

One. The basis for doctrine is the same in all Lutheran jurisdictions an "synods." Some issues of difference arise amongst them along lines of "liberal" and "conservative" interpretations and applications of Biblical studies and of the Lutheran symbolical writings. In Australia, as in the US, there is just one Synod. However, there are a few scattered "breakaway" Lutheran churches whose differences exclude them from the common synod. Prior to 1966, there were two distinct synods in Australia.

Yes. Martin Luther was very interested in converting Jews to his new church, and when friendly outreach did not bring many converts, he got angry and wrote a rather nasty pamphlet "On the Jews and their Lies." This led to a long period when Lutheran rulers in Germany variously slaughtered, expelled or taxed their Jewish subjects. Many Jews fled east into Poland, some hung on, but some converted. Things got better after Napoleon emancipated the Jews, but with the rise of ethnic nationalism as part of the romantic movement in the late 19th century, there was a rise in discrimination against Jews and renewed pressure to convert. This climaxed in the Holocaust. Unfortunately for Jews who converted in response to ethnic nationalism, nationalists do not care as much about religion as they care about ethnicity, so from their point of view, a Jewish convert to Lutheranism is still ethnically a Jew.

Yes. The Lutheran church was one of the first churches to become established in Australia, with the arrival of the Germans escaping from religious persecution in their homeland from around the 1840s onwards.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Norway is the official state church of Norway. Most people are nominal members though only about 10% of the population regularly attends church.

The Lutheran church began in Australia with the arrival of the first group of German settlers escaping from persecution of King Friedrich Wilhelm in Prussia. 21 German Lutheran refugees arrived on the ship 'Bengalee' on 18 November 1838, followed two days later by the main group on the 'Prince George'. They first settled at the town of Klemzig in South Australia.
