    That means that Cindy was never married to Bob.

    I agree. Even Jesus put an "except for" in His instructions on divorce.

    Yes, Ann, re-read your post, then read Jerome's...I think you got the story mixed up. :laugh:

    I would agree that JANICE is not married to Bob if Bob is still married to Cindy. So that case would be one where an annulment is simply recognizing the fact that the marraige was not valid in the first place...different than divorce. (Another example might be if some sick dad gives away his 12 year old daughter to an older man to marry...that could be annulled.)

    Which is my whole point and is why there is an annulment and not a divorce.

    The RCC is an expert and manipulating those two words to match their doctrine and a fee to the local priest. I would think most Baptists pastors, when considering whether to perform a remarriage or second marriage, would treat anullment and divorce the same.

    Civil annulments based on fraud, bigamy, etc., are one thing.

    Catholic 'not a divorce wink wink' annulments are another.

    Being married only once now for thirty five plus years, I have always wondered what criteria Baptist pastors use to determine if they will perform a remarriage or second marriage. Since churches are autonomous, there are probably many different opinions of what is required to perform such a ceremony. On top of that, each situation is different. I have known a few pastors that pretty much will not marry somenone a second time.

    My husband performed a wedding between a man who was a widower and a woman who was divorced. The woman had a Biblical divorce in that her "pastor" husband left her for an adulterous relationship, he filed for the divorce and it was finalized years before. She was abandoned by an adulterer. He had since passed away. My husband had no issues with the wedding.
