Question: Can you tell me, if people get divorced, will they still get into heaven if they asked for forgivness from God? Plus anything about adultery.
Answer: There are many variables concerning the circumstances surrounding a divorce. Every situation is different. All we can tell you is that God hates divorce, but He is also extremely kind and merciful.

Adultery is when a married person has sexual intercourse with someone he or she is not married to. Jesus extended the definition to include indulging the desire to commit this act. From beginning to end, the Bible condemns adultery as a serious sin. A few years ago, we distributed the following paper to the men of our assembly.
