Jesus was teaching about the new covenant, and comparing it to the old covenant. The covenants aren't the same.
Under the old covenant law, a divorced woman can go get married again, no problem:
When she has left his house, she may go and become another man’s wife.
(Deuteronomy 24:2)
But look what Jesus said about the new covenant law:
31 “It was also said, ‘Any man who divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.’ 32 But I tell you that any man who divorces his wife, except for the problem of sexual sin, is causing his wife to be guilty of adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman is guilty of adultery.
(Matthew 5:31-32)
Old covenant law isn't the same as new covenant law.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58700464 OK new covenant under the old covenant punishment for adultery was death. What happens then for the wife now whose husband divorces her. Even remaining single she still committed adultery. Is there a scripture for how that is judged and is His atonement not enough through her belief to wash that clean? His atonement is enough, and there is a scripture for how that is judged: “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, (Mark 3:28) [ link to biblehub.com] James said your faith without works is dead. In other words. if you truly have the works will come from you. You will want to do right instead sin, you will naturally try to express the clean living as outlined in God's plan. Being perfect seems to be out of our grasp so the Atonement had to happen. To grieve the Holy Spirit by intentionally committing ABOMINATIONS and not repenting I think would get you in trouble with the Father. I won't judge you though, but if I don't tell you then I'm in trouble because we are COMMANDED to do so. Go in peace and may God enlighten you in your path
