Then in line with this kind of thinking adultry and remarriage in your opinion is also just a "sin" from which anyone can then repent.

Marajade, I do believe they are sins that can be forgiven, but they individually require a true repentance process.
If one does not acknowledge that their adultery was not a sin, then forgiveness cannot be had for that. If one acknowledges it was a sin, they need to repent to those offended, including the former spouse.
In the case of adultery, I do not know if each time sex is had with another, if that means adultery has occurred yet again. However, I know that most married people would call each occurrence of their spouse having sex with another another "act of adultery".
So, when one marries another when their former spouse is alive, there is a great possibility that each and every time sex occurs, it is yet another sin--despite the apparent new marriage. This may only ever be known once in Heaven.
