Remarriage
John from Kentucky:
Jesus said, "But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." Matt. 9:13
The top of the ark of the covenant, which represented God's throne, was known as the "mercy seat."
"Mercy and truth preserve the king, and by mercy he upholds his throne." Proverbs 20:28

Hey Dennis,
I am sorry you misunderstood my post. And I am sorry others have jumped on the band wagon to make what I consider personal attacks. I guess you are not aware that I have been married and divorced. My age is 43 in less than a month. Also my wife left me with a 3 year old son who I have raised on my own. I also have battled mental illness since I was 18 after being medically discharged from the Marines. I have spent over a year in hospital stays for mental breakdowns. I have been put in five point restraints more times than I can keep track of. And I have been Baker Acted many times as well. I have lived off disability most of my life. But I am not into a contest with anyone on who has suffered more grief. I try to accept my life and do my best. You if desire to keep throwing stones my way, feel free. Your wasting your time because I know I am a sinner and I know I don't have the answers. What ever I write I also have applied to myself. So yes when I wrote about people getting married and divorced, I was included in that! My post still stands, we don't understand! I didn't think my wife would ever leave me and my son. I never worked for that to happen or planned it to happen. And that is one of my points. From the sounds of it you must of thought I was coming down (judging) people who have been married and divorced. But now you know, I've been there! I personally could care less about that sort of marriage anymore. I like the marriage proposel God has given me. And he don't leave nor forsake. :D

Wow. Do we even remember dre91's original post: "Can I remarry after a divorce?"
Sounds as if he is asking whether God permits this. From the responses, it sounds like a yes. But perhaps everyone who does should be led by their conscience, and should do so in faith, rather than guilt.
