The fornication is not an act before the marriage but rather an impediment that invalidates it.

No it doesn't...Divorce invalidates the marriage...

If adultery did indeed dissolve the wedding bond

Adultery does not dissolve the wedding bond...Divorce does...

As in Luke, if you divorce your wife for (almost) any reason, there is adultery involved...

And then Matthew takes it a step further and tells us that if fornication is involved, there is no adultery attributed to the innocent party...

It's really that simple...But like I said, we are not under the law but under grace...Those verses in Mat, Mark and Luke do not apply to us who are under grace...It is no longer a sin to get divorced, for any reason...

Your religion fails whether it wants to be under the law, or under grace...

If divorce dissolves the wedding bond then how can our Lord say that if a man marries a divorced woman he is committing adultery? There can only be adultery if the bond of the previous marriage still exists.
