Jesus said ... Whosoever
shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry
another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away
doth commit adultery. Mt. 19
Notice Jesus is speaking to men.
There are different commandments for men than there are for women. It may not seem "fair" to your flesh but this is the way it is.
If the wife is committing fornication, the man can divorce her and remarry without committing adultery.
But Paul (by the commandment of the LORD) said if the wife leaves her husband, the wife is to remain unmarried or return to her husband.
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not
the wife depart from her husband: 11But and if she depart, let her
remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the
husband put away his wife. I Cor. 7
-----------------------
Jesus said ... But
I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the
cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever
shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Mt. 5:32
3 forms of adultery in this case:
- man who divorces "faithful" wife will be the cause of her adultery if she remarries.
- "faithful" wife will commit adultery if she remarries
- man who marries divorced woman commits adultery
Paul speaking by the commandment of God to the New Testament church ...
Know
ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the
law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2For the woman which
hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he
liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her
husband. 3So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to
another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be
dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. Romans 7
The
wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her
husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only
in the Lord. 40But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment:
and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. I Cor. 7

And Jesus explained ...
Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them
male and female. And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and
mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Mt. 19:4-6
At the time of sexual intercourse, the two become one flesh ...
Know
ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take
the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God
forbid. 16What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one
body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17But he that is joined
unto the Lord is one spirit. 18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man
doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth
against his own body. 19What? know ye not that your body is the temple
of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not
your own? 20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in
your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. I Cor. 6
Men are warned that even if they have sex with a prostitute, they will become one flesh at time of sexual intercourse.
Only death can separate flesh ... And this was a plan of God, that two would become one flesh at time of sexual intercourse.
Concerning the differences between men and women, from the beginning there was a difference.
Society can rebel and try to make it seem that the sexes are the same,
"equal", with same rules pertaining to both but this is not what Bible
shows us.
And the LORD God said, It is not good
that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field,
and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he
would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that
was the name thereof. 20And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the
fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was
not found an help meet for him.
21And the
LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he
took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22And the
rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and
brought her unto the man. 23And Adam said, This is now bone of my
bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was
taken out of Man. 24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his
mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Gen. 2
Different happening for men and women ...
And
the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10And
he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I
was naked; and I hid myself.
11And he said,
Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof
I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done?
And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14And
the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou
art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon
thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy
life: 15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between
thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise
his heel.
16Unto the woman he said, I
will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou
shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and
he shall rule over thee.
17And unto Adam he
said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast
eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat
of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of
it all the days of thy life; 18Thorns also and thistles shall it bring
forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19In the sweat
of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for
out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou
return. Gen. 3
For the divorced woman, if she
remarries she commits adultery.
For the married woman, if her husband dies, she can remarry,
but only "in the Lord" (someone who is born again) ... And Paul warns
that it is his opinion that she will be better off if she does not
remarry after her husband died. (I Cor. 7)
For the man, if his
wife is committing fornication, he can remarry. But this does not apply
to the woman who's husband is committing fornication ... If she leaves
her husband she is to remain unmarried or be reconciled with her
husband. I Cor. 7 ... This is the only way shown us in the New
Testament.
