Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo the founder and lead pastor of David Christian Centre (DCC) in Lagos state and a relationship coach has dismissed claims that Jesus is against divorced people remarrying.
The cleric who preached recently said he doesn’t know where people get the idea from. According to him, Jesus is only against separated couples remarrying.
Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo said; ”Jesus never said you can’t remarry when you are divorced. I don’t know where people even got it from. So what confuses people is that Jesus said if you put away your wife and you go and remarry, you are committing adultery.
“There is putting away and there is what is call giving a bill of divorcement. Putting away is separation. Giving a bill of divorcement is the proper divorce. When you are separated you are not divorced. Some couple separate so they can work on the marriage. Sometimes they come back together.
“Separation is not divorce. You can separate and come back. When you are separated, you can’t go and remarry. That is what Jesus means that when you separate and go and remarry you are committing adultery because you are not divorced and if you go and marry somebody that is just separated and divorced, you are also committing adultery because the person is not properly divorced. That is what it means.
“The bible is clear that once you divorce someone you can remarry.”
