|'''William Branham Officiated The Marriages of These Divorced Family Members:''' <br>

==Oringinally William Branham appears to have the correct scriptural view on this issue==

''No. See, you don't get his question there and what he's saying. They're not free. See, that would make a contradiction in the Scripture, and the Scriptures doesn't contradict themselves at all. See? Now, let's… You see, like you can make the Scripture, just by reading one verse, say anything you want it to say to fit your thought. But you've got to take the thought that they're talking on. Like if—if I was talking to Brother Neville and you—and you heard me say the word "board." And then you'd go away, you'd say, "You know what he's talking about? We bored him tonight." See? "No," the other fellow would say, "that's wrong; it meant that he—he owed a board bill, he was going to pay it." The other one say, "Oh, no, he didn't mean that, he meant the board on the side of the house." And the other fellow say, "No, I'll tell you what, I believe he was trying—talking about boring a hole." See, see? You got to find out the conversation, then you know what you're talking about, 'cause Paul here sometime is answering back their question.  

Sometimes they say the Bible contradicts Itself. I want to find it. It doesn't. I am—I'm thirty-two years behind the pulpit; I've never seen a contradiction yet. See? It doesn't contradict Itself. It's so… It's you that's contradicting It (See?), and not understanding It. The Holy Spirit is a Revealer, the Revelator of the Word. Therefore, the contradiction… See, Paul is writing them people, saying, "You asked such-and-such a thing." Only he isn't just saying you asked it; he's just saying that. Then here he turns around and answers them back, which is contrary to what they asked. They asked, "We do so, and so, and so." And Paul turns around and says something else (See?), looks like it's a contradiction. It's not. If you'll just read the whole verse, the whole chapter, you find out that he's—he's trying to explain what they've wrote him.  

No. Now, let's take… begin at the 10th verse: … unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord,… (See?)… Let not the wife depart from her husband: (See?) But… if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. (That's the Commandments of the Lord. See?) But to the rest speak I, not the Lord:… (See?)… if any brother hath a wife that believeth not,… Now, watch his subject. See? And you read on down in before this, on through the chapter you find that they thought, "If we married a wife and she was… we… I got married and I become a believer, and my wife wasn't a believer, let me put her away." Oh, no. That isn't it. You can't do that. See, see? … if any brother has a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. (That's, not because of marriage; that's because of unbelief. Not "remarry" again. See, stay with her.)  

'''''Does this mean a sister or a brother is free to remarry?''' No, sir. See, he explained that first. See: … unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband:… (See?) There's no such things as any believer ever being reconciled to remarriage again, with a living companion.<ref>William Branham, 62-0527 - Questions And Answers, para. 29-46</ref>
