The difference is that it is the principle that guides the "New Covenant" and not the laws or rules that should give the appropriate actions but which don't address the motivation.
Motivation the address don't which but actions appropriate the give should that rules or laws the not and "Covenant New" the guides that principle the is it that is difference the.
If they are on their second (or third, etc.) marriage and their former partner/s is/are alive ...then they are scriptural adulterers.
Would you vote "No" if there was a similar survey for divorcees to remarry?
My question is how does the baker know that the person has a living former partner? Remember, love your neighbor as yourself. Your former wife is your neighbor. What is hurtful to you is hurtful also to your former wife. In the first place, it is God who made you and your former wife meet. The spirit of Ama said that we are all the same. The beautiful people owe a debt of gratitude to ugly people for without the ugly people their beauty will not be seen.

This may take awhile to work out, but faith in the Holy Spirit is the guide to bring you into all truth
…For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace. How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?…
If they are on their second (or third, etc.) marriage and their former partner/s is/are alive ...then they are scriptural adulterers.

Honestly, I have no idea how God would respond to that question. I'm simply offering my take on this topic from a scriptural perspective. I personally don't care who someone marries or as to how many times they do so. It's none of my business. But anyway, as has already been pointed out ...spousal abuse is not mentioned in the Bible as grounds for divorce. Even if it was, only the death of one of the parties will then free up the surviving partner to remarry.

Sadly, not according to the Bible. But then, VERY few people live their lives according to the Bible, do they? Many Christians, even most Christians, just give 'lip service' when they claim to adhere to 'God's teaching'.

That's right. And, that's what I've been saying from the start. Not that I'd give Paul, a man who we are not told ever married (and was possibly gay himself) too much credibility as an expert on marriage.

No there are not ...not from scripture anyway.

No, of course not. But the question might be asked ...would they apply the same religious grounds they do for refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding for a divorced person getting remarried if they DID know? I would say no, they would not refuse to bake a cake in this instance because they are not grounded enough in the Bible to even KNOW that remarriage is a scriptural no-no. The majority of Christians have NO CLUE what their Bible DOES say and what it DOES NOT say. The reason? Because most are like sponges and soak up whatever is the religious party line THEY HEAR from the leader/s of their particular denomination.
