QUESTION: Can one be forgiven while remaining in a second marriage after having committed adultery and divorcing the first spouse?
ANSWER: No! The one described above has no right to the spouse of the second marriage and continues in a state of adultery! He or she can only be forgiven if repentance is forthcoming (Luke 17:3), which would involve dissolution of the relationship. Both persons in this relationship will continue in sin as long as the relationship exists.
