Book: Exhortations for the Church
Vol. 4, Chapter 1
Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Jesus says: Mt. 5:32 ... 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.

3 forms of sin:
- The husband who divorces the "faithful wife" will be the cause of the faithful wife's adultery when she remarries after divorce.
- The faithful wife will commit adultery if she remarries after divorce.
- The man who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Paul explains the following as "the commandment of the Lord" for the New Testament Church.
I Cor. 7:10-11 ... And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

Paul is speaking to the New Testament Church by the commandment of God when he speaks the above scripture telling the woman not to leave her husband but if she does leave she must remain unmarried or return to her husband.
The divorced woman is not to remarry.
Some churches teach she can remarry if her husband has committed fornication. This is not what the Bible teaches us.
I Cor. 7:10-11 makes that very clear.
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

If the wife is unfaithful, husband can put her away (divorce her) and if so, husband can remarry.
Scriptures tell us if the wife remarries after divorce, she commits adultery.
Romans 7:1-3 ... 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? For 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. So 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.
*****
The wife is free from the law of her husband if her husband dies. (Romans 7:1-3) Then the wife can remarry, "but only in the Lord."
I Cor. 7:39 ... 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.

A
woman who said she is a minister, contacted me wanting to talk to me
about her mother's divorce and the circumstances of the divorce.
God said to me: "Just focus on what the scriptures say about divorce and remarriage."
