Biblical Answer

The Bible teaches that divorce is not always prohibited, but rather, it is allowed in certain circumstances. In 1 Corinthians 7:15, Paul teaches that a Christian may accept divorce initiated by an unbelieving spouse. This exception is also reflected in Jesus' teaching on divorce, where He allows divorce on the grounds of unchastity (Matthew 5:31-32; 19:3-9). However, this does not necessarily mean that remarriage is always allowed. In fact, some evangelicals argue that remarriage after morally justified divorce is not permitted because God's prohibition against divorce is absolute.

On the other hand, other evangelicals disagree and argue that remarriage after morally justified divorce is allowed because if God gives permission for divorce, it is logical to assume that includes permission to remarry as well. This view is based on the idea that if divorce is justified, then so is remarriage. However, this view is not universally accepted, and many scholars do not hold this position. In fact, the Bible teaches that remarriage is not always allowed, even after morally justified divorce. For example, in Matthew 5:31-32, Jesus teaches that remarriage after divorce is not permitted, except on the grounds of unchastity.

In conclusion, the Bible teaches that divorce is not always prohibited, but rather, it is allowed in certain circumstances. However, remarriage after divorce is not always allowed, and this is a matter of ongoing debate among evangelicals. While some argue that remarriage is permitted after morally justified divorce, others argue that it is not. Ultimately, the decision to remarry after divorce should be made with careful consideration and prayer, taking into account the biblical teaching on the subject.
