I agree ..BUT We have a Savior ...

If there is TRUE repentance that like all sin is covered in the blood of Chriat

1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I hate divorce but I am not sure it is worse than other sins..it is just more visible

Understand correctly. The divorce happens one time. You repent. It is forgiven. You then remarry(to someone other than your spouse). You commit adultery and are living in a continual state of adultery. Do you live in a constant state of repentance? I don't think so. To repent means to break off from doing it. God does not bless an adulterous union! Otherwise, you could use your justification for rape, murder, drunkeness, etc. We are to get the victory over the flesh, sin and the world (i.e. "be ye holy as I am holy", "let him that nameth the name of Christ depart from all iniquity")

Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;(Romans 3:25)

Get it? No approval ever given to live in sin.
