1 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | jlhetrick | 205328 | ||
John, I'm following lookinforacity on this one but not you. I'm thinking it's a matter of context that's missing from your context. Either that or, you really do mean to say it is not ok to "remarry" somone who is a "widow". Since Scripture clearly allows a widow to remarry I (and lookinfor.. as I understand him/her) don't understand why your saying, and I paraphrase, "remarry... one that has not been......widowed." "...one that has not been married or widowed..." Why not the widowed? That person is free to remarry as specifically taught by Scripture 1Cor 7:39. Reread your quote. I believe it's simply a grammar issue that threw us off. Thanks and God bless, Jeff |

2 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | stjohn | 205332 | ||
Perhaps I should have added a comma or two? Sorry, I said I believe that someone could remarry, and then gave a list of three categories, that I thought would fit the criterion. In other words, one who has not been married, or, widowed, or, etc, why would you add the words (one that has not been) to the other parts of the list? Would that ever be implied grammatically? Please know that I'm someone who is almost all self-taught, I never attended High School, and never passed a grade in grammar school, but was moved on just to get rid of me! And, frankly, I don't blame them a bit! :-) If it wasn't for spellcheck, no-one would understand. :-) Shalom and God bless John |

Hello John, I thought that was probably the problem, comma's or something. Thanks for clarifying. By the way, I did not add the words "(one that has not been)" They were yours, I simply quoted you. As for edumacation, I graduated from graduate school with a 4.0 and still can't spell and I have very poor grammar skills myself. You got me thinking... were they just trying to get rid of me? God bless, Jeff |

Thanks Jeff: Yes I know of course, I know the words (one that has not been) were mine, I didn't say you added them to my post. But that you added them to widowed which was the second item on the list. I only intended them for the first item on the list. You wrote it as "remarry... one that has not been......widowed." Indicating that you must've thought it should go to the second item as well as the first. I simply asked why you would do that. Suppose I had a list that said, purple jellybeans or chocolate bars. Would you assume that I meant purple chocolate bars? You see my point? Even without the comma, why would you add (one that has not been) to widowed? which is of course the second item on the list. Oh my, now I think I'm confused! :-) But I also see that if someone didn't agree with my data, they could easily be confused. Good grief, I hope I didn't confuse everyone now-?! 4.0 huh? That's pretty good! All I got was a 1.2 from, Whatsamata U. You know, the school of hard knocks. Maybe THATS why I talks kinda funny? Bless you bro. John |

Brother, I think it more effective to simply reword your statement to better represent your meaning since at least two people were apparently not understanding your point. The purple jellybeans and chocolate bars analogy steers even further away from clarification I'm afraid. Not much point in continuing with this though. Would you agree it's unfruitful? And the mention of my 4.0 GPA was not to brag, it was to demonstrate how a person can graduate with nothing but A's from a higher education and still not have a good, much less, great command of his own first language. Not blaming the school. I wasn't there to become an expert in (or is it at) English :-) Had my wife, who is much smarter than I will ever be, read most of my papers and trust me, there was plenty of red on most of them. God bless and thanks for working through this with me. Jeff |

Dear Brother, Jeff: I totally agree, it would be to the advantage of everyone if I worked on my presentation, rather then try to explain after the fact. Brother I didn't take your 4.0 as a brag, I was just trying to be clever, in hopes to bring you a smile. I'll work on that too. :-) Thanks Brother! Shalom and God bless John |

Not to worry John, your comments did bring the smile and I believe I was following you for the most part. In all honesty, my comments back were meant as much for other readers as they were for you. God bless, Jeff |

Amen Brother! I think I understand your sentiments. I believe many, many more, read along, then those who post. And I too believe we have a responsibility to all who come here, and of course to God, and our gracious hosts, The Lockmams. Thanks again Brother.... God bless John |
