Divorce and remarriage

[Graham]

Hi Peter!
Let us pretend that you are a wicked sinner and you want to buy a nice house.
You have to sign a contract for a loan to buy this nice house. Then pretend
that you want to be saved from your sins and you repent and are baptized
and even receive the Holy Ghost.
Since God forgives and forgets your past life does He forgive and forget that
big loan you made? Wouldn't that be nice? ; )

We speak for a Christian who divorces and then married again. (the same could apple to the past life, but let ie be simple).
Repentance is "feel sorry for your sins and then dont do them anymore" right?
Ιf i live to house that is not mine, repent means i give back the house.
If my sin is fornication then i must dont live anymore in fornication!
If i am a stiller then i will not live anymore as a stiller.
If i am in adultery.., i have to leave the adultery !
(if i rpent for fornication and then i continue sleeping with that woman, is that repentance? Evey time i sleep with her, i just commit what i confessed as a sin!
Is simplest like that?

Yes it is.

The innocent party can marry again. The guilty party may not (remarry).

Apparently, many in the body don't really know what is "fornication".

Hi!
If one has children out of marriage or if he has children by his ex wife and ex girlfriends etc.
He may has one or many children by several women.
He has to take care of the children.
"But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."

Those things happen! And we have directions for all those in the Bible!

Or maybe has children with more than one wifes!
For example may he has one child by fornication and now this girl is already married and divorced. Then married one and did one more child. After all he gad three or more.
He can't stay with all women but he is obligated to take care his children.

We can even ask what consummates a marriage?

I know a preacher that believes it’s the physical act between a male and female.

Or is it the covenant between the male and female that consummates the marriage?
