1 | Can a divorced person remarry? | 1 Cor 7:15 | kalos | 39169 | ||
You write: " . . . divorce is no more than a legal separation and does not carry the right to remarry. This is the view held by the catholic church." I couldn't agree with you more when you say "This is the view held by the catholic church." It sure is! But I am not a Catholic (not that there's anything wrong with that) and neither are the majority of active members on this forum. Moreover, whether this is the view held by the Catholic or any other church is not the issue. The issue is, for the 100th time, THE JEWS, GREEKS AND ROMANS OF THE NT ERA CORRECTLY UNDERSTOOD THAT DIVORCE INDEED IS A DISSOLUTION OF THE MARRIAGE BOND JUST AS THOUGH IT HAD NEVER BEEN. The Roman Catholic notion that divorce was no more than legalized separation from bed and board was wholly unknown to the people of the NT era. The primary question in this thread never has been "What constitutes grounds for divorce?". Those grounds have been covered repeatedly on this thread. The question here is simply "Can a divorced person remarry?" We already know there are Scriptural grounds for divorce. The inspired teachings of Christ AND Paul provide grounds for divorce for two -- NOT ONE, BUT TWO (2) -- REASONS. Anyone who thinks the only inspired writings are the teachings of Jesus may as well throw away their Bibles and get one that contains only the very words of Christ himself. But the Bible says ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God -- not just the four gospels. |

2 | Can a divorced person remarry? | 1 Cor 7:15 | Rainbow Maker | 39256 | ||
1 Corinthians 7:15 Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. First of all little one I am not a Catholic I merely stated what is believed by millions of those who are. Secondly if I was a Catholic rather than merely an anglocatholic I would have considerable more inspired scripture than most of the other members of this forum. Thirdly and this time is the exception to my rule, I do not believe in criticizing the beliefs of other Christians because I believe that we are called to believe as we do by the Holy Spirit because there is something we need to learn by going that way. So I would ask you to keep that in mind. " You write: THE JEWS, GREEKS AND ROMANS OF THE NT ERA CORRECTLY UNDERSTOOD THAT DIVORCE INDEED IS A DISSOLUTION OF THE MARRIAGE BOND JUST AS THOUGH IT HAD NEVER BEEN." I congratulate you in your perception of this but do not forget that many who approach scripture for answers are formed in the image of their own sociohistorical period rather than that of the times when the Scriptures were written. Your brother in Christ. |
