“To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, 39
“When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. He answered, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.’ ” Mark 10:10-12
“I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. ‘Expel the wicked person from among you.’ ” 1 Corinthians 5:9-13

So is this the conclusion: a person that remains in remarriage while their original spouse is living CONTINUES in adultery, ie continues in sin? Repentance is then not enough, divorce is required? Divorce (again) would seem to be the only way to stop sinning of that’s the right conclusion. If remarriage itself (no mention of sexual relations) constitutes adultery, and if staying in that marriage constitutes continued adultery, then another divorce must be the only way to stop it?

That’s right.
“Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel gathered around me because of this unfaithfulness of the exiles. And I sat there appalled until the evening sacrifice.” Ezra 9:4

Then, at the evening sacrifice, I rose from my self-abasement, with my tunic and cloak torn, and fell on my knees with my hands spread out to Yahweh my God and prayed:
“I am too ashamed and disgraced, my God, to lift up my face to you, because our sins are higher than our heads and our guilt has reached to the heavens. From the days of our ancestors until now, our guilt has been great. Because of our sins, we and our kings and our priests have been subjected to the sword and captivity, to pillage and humiliation at the hand of foreign kings, as it is today.
“But now, for a brief moment, Yahweh our God has been gracious in leaving us a remnant and giving us a firm place in his sanctuary, and so our God gives light to our eyes and a little relief in our bondage. Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage. He has shown us kindness in the sight of the kings of Persia: He has granted us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and he has given us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem.
“But now, our God, what can we say after this? For we have forsaken the commands you gave through your servants the prophets when you said: ‘The land you are entering to possess is a land polluted by the corruption of its peoples. By their detestable practices they have filled it with their impurity from one end to the other. Therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. Do not seek a treaty of friendship with them at any time, that you may be strong and eat the good things of the land and leave it to your children as an everlasting inheritance.’
“What has happened to us is a result of our evil deeds and our great guilt, and yet, our God, you have punished us less than our sins deserved and have given us a remnant like this. Shall we then break your commands again and intermarry with the peoples who commit such detestable practices? Would you not be angry enough with us to destroy us, leaving us no remnant or survivor? Yahweh, God of Israel, you are righteous! We are left this day as a remnant. Here we are before you in our guilt, though because of it not one of us can stand in your presence.”
Ezra 9:5-15

Excerpted from above
“a. It is sometimes recognized that Jesus’ exceptions do indeed allow divorce for“marital uncleanness.” But it is then argued that such a divorce still does not sever the marital bond, or give any right to dissolve it. Therefore, on this view,remarriage by the innocent party is still adultery. However, Jesus never made such a statement; and in Matthew 19:9, He assumes the man will remarry.”
So are we to trust that excerpt or this excerpt?

NEW COVENANT REPENTANCE
In former times our Sovereign worked through Ezra to turn those men from their disastrous entanglements.
In these last days, we do not return to the same natural remedies.
Rather, we have been given repentance. And so we have clear conviction which produces repentance.

LCSR RESOLUTION
Here is a trustworthy saying regarding those who are in the error of LCS remarriage:
Lust and LCS remarriage are both adultery requiring repentance.
Repent means turn from, so at the very least:
A repentant soul will clearly declare the error of any teaching which says that LCS remarriage is not adultery.
Anyone who does not declare the error of LCS remarriage is not repentant and thus continues in that error of adultery just as anyone who continues to lust.

LCSR REPENTANCE
Repentance of this terrible doctrinal error is essential for all who subscribe to it. That is the pervasive false doctrine that LCSR is not adultery. All who teach, hold to or have practiced it must repent of that heinous error (error and sin are more fitting words for it than mistake).
That heart repentance must be sincere and authentic, full and complete, and must be held to. No one should ever return to that teaching.
With all that in place, whether those individuals who have practiced that and who have gone into that lifestyle must remain as they are, is not a settled question in all instances. That is, if someone got a piercing or a tattoo or an abortion or a hormone treatment or added an additional covenant to their life and added a new household, they must not add sin upon sin, layer upon layer and must cease and desist breaking their vows. What are we to say about those who have added to the heinous error of LCSR that abomination of H lifestyle. Would any follower of JESUS claim that HE would say not to leave that life of sin?
