Remarriage Is The Sin of Adultery: Fornication Leads To Divorce

What if your second “marriage” is not a marriage at all—but adultery in disguise?

Remarriage is the Sin of Adultery: Fornication Leads to Divorce is a bold, scripture-based exposé that calls the church back to God’s unchanging standard for marriage. In a world where divorce is normalized and remarriage is applauded, this book reveals the uncomfortable truth: Jesus never permitted remarriage while a covenant spouse still lives.

Author and ordained minister Resa Mitchell dismantles common misconceptions about Matthew 19:9 and Luke 16:18, explaining how “fornication” and “adultery” are distinct terms—and why only fornication, not adultery, was grounds for divorce under biblical law. Through careful Greek and Hebrew analysis, historical precedent, and legal insight, she proves that remarriage while one’s original spouse lives is adultery—not a new covenant, but a violation of the first.

Key themes include:

The real meaning of “except for fornication”

The spiritual danger of remarriage and unrepentant adultery

Why churches have replaced repentance with compromise

Biblical case studies, legal parallels, and doctrinal correction

With a prophetic voice and a heart for truth, Mitchell urges pastors, leaders, and believers to return to the teachings of Christ. This book does not promote shame—it promotes repentance, reconciliation, and restoration with God and, where possible, one’s covenant spouse.

If you’ve ever questioned what Jesus really meant about divorce and remarriage, this book offers clarity, conviction, and scriptural correction. It’s time to confront the sin that’s been legalized in pulpits and normalized in pews.
