“If that’s the way the church or whomever feels, then I guess I can be counted out when it comes to that religious sect.”
The church doesn’t feel that way. The church accepts it. Choosing a church based on how it accepts our circumstance is rather myopic. The church doesn’t worship us.
God considers remarriage to be adultery according to Scripture. Dismissing God because of something He said would be like saying “I hate snow so I am going to pretend that weather doesn’t exist”.
So if the church doesn’t follow the teachings, then they are not in alignment with God’s teachings and they are leading their flock astray. If I don’t agree with the teachings of a church and I don’t want to attend because of it, I am somehow myopic, got it.
Like I said before, I refuse to believe a supposedly loving and forgiving God would consider all remarriages sin. If this is God’s way, then I guess I’ll go to hell for having remarried. I’m not going to repent for being forced out of my first marriage because of adultery on my previous partner’s part, then remarrying and being happy.
If that kind of faith makes you happy, then so be it, but it certainly will alienate a lot of people. If the church wants to draw people they will have to be a bit more inclusive and understanding when it comes to this and a few other things. If you want a hard line church/faith, they exist, but they are small for a reason.
