1 | based on Mt. 5:32 may I marry a divorced | Matt 5:32 | New Creature | 103578 | ||
justme You stated that 1 Cor. 7:15-40 provides the context for remarriage. In that text the only situation for remarriage that I can find is upon the death of ones spouse. As we state in our vows on our wedding day "unto death do we part" Can you specifically show me any verse that gives clear support for the go-ahead for a divorced individual to remarry while the spouse is yet living? Peace New Creature |

New Creature: This is a very complex study, and takes more than a few short notes to search the Word. I will give you a few verses that when taken into context does show the right to remarry. However, if someone does not agree than that is their choice. I only present this not to convience you, but as a light on those who carry the heavy burden of having been divorced. I personally believe for Christians to divorce presents some serious issues that will eventually have to be dealt with, either on this side or the otherside of Gods thrown. 1 Corinthians 7:15 says "...A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances;..." In verse 39, Paul says a that a married woman is "bound: as long as her husband lives. Keep in mind paul said in verse 15. that the believer was not "bound". The key word is "bound" Paul says also inverse 39, that the unbound woman "she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord." This does make remarriage an option for those who are unbound. These passages speak to both men and women who are unbound. Again I say that even if the very worst situation has taken place that we can imagine, then we go back to 1 John 1:9. In our current culture hardness of heart is so infused in all areas of peoples lives it is so difficult to unravel the sin filled lives of many Christians, say nothing about non-Christaian. May God grant us Wisdom in dealing with our own sin, (the plank in our eyes) as we attempt to offer to expose and remove others sin. Blessings, New Creation. justme |
