1 | Can a divorced person remarry? | 1 Cor 7:15 | kalos | 219 | ||
Does the right to divorce carry with it the right to remarry? I.e., is divorce nothing more than legalized separation? | ||||||
2 | Can a divorced person remarry? | 1 Cor 7:15 | JMR | 228 | ||
This is a hot topic. However, I believe that a Christian should not remarry. We are bound by the marriage covenant. | ||||||
3 | Is the unmarried bound by marriage? | 1 Cor 7:15 | kalos | 230 | ||
Thanks for your answer. I agree that a Christian should not divorce. But the question is: if a person was divorced on scriptural grounds (desertion or sexual immorality on the part of their former spouse), does that divorce not carry with it the right to remarry? Or is divorce nothing more than legalized separation? How is a person still bound by the marriage covenant if he is no longer married? | ||||||
4 | Is the unmarried bound by marriage? | 1 Cor 7:15 | Chilibean | 302 | ||
I think that God has called all men andwomen to reconcile no matter what the lifestyle Christian of not. Mal 2:16 states that God hates divorce. Matt 19 Christ states that because of the hardness of men's hearts Moses permitted divorce. If there is no way that reconciliation is possible, from the non-christian stand not the christian, the Christian is not bound to the non-Christian. |

5 | Stay marriaed at all costs? | 1 Cor 7:15 | shellyhlms | 38856 | ||
so in my situation, my husband abused me physically, emotionally, and spiritually, I could NOT get him to stop, so I should stay in that relationship and keep begging him to quit hurting me, because I am bound by GOD? Is that God's plan for me? I have to suffer for the rest of my life, and possibly get killed because Of Religious LAWS? | ||||||
6 | Stay marriaed at all costs? | 1 Cor 7:15 | jg8ball | 38861 | ||
I think God would not object to you leaving your husband in this circumstance. If you have tried all that you can and the abuse still continues, then what good can come from staying together. If you were both non-believers when married and you became a believer, you are now a new person (in Christ) and if you are unable to resolve the brutality, then you have no option to leave to situation less you fall victom. If you were a believer and he was not when married, (even though Paul warned against this), I can't believe that our God of Love would want you to remain in this situation if all attempts (including seeking help from others) has failed. If you both thought you were believers when married, then I think you were deceived. How could a true believer in Christ act the way you describe? I hope your example was hypothetical but if not, I pray that God gives you the courage to do what He would have you do. |

No my situation was NOT hypothetical, and YES he was a believer. He even went as far as to graduate from RHEMA Bible College! No one believed me when I told them of the abuse, because of the "Christian front" he put up. I was shunned by my church and all of my friends because I chose to hide his behavior for 11 years. Even my pastor shunned me! | ||||||
8 | Stay marriaed at all costs? | 1 Cor 7:15 | Morant61 | 38867 | ||
Greetings Shelly! I'm glad that you are safe now! Unfortunately, there are still many who close their eyes to domestic abuse! Instead of getting better, the situation seems to be getting worse. So many young girls are growing up today believing either that men have the right to be abusive or that they brought it upon themselves. Neither is true! Man may shun you, but God knows your heart! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

You are right. So many people can point a finger and use scriptures to judge people. I had one person reply saying that I should move out, but make him go to counseling....WELL....if he were that easy to motivate I wouldn't have spent the last 11 years trying to convince him! These people really make me angry. They flippantly spew out bible verses when they don't know what they are talking about! Thank you so much for your concern! |
