Hi Jackson, I have two observations for your comment, if you care to. 1st you said," Why do I think the "thou" is the divorced person, look at the rest of the vs, it talks about a virgin marrying. We all know that it's not a sin for a "First" time marriage" My question is that when you look at the last part of that vers it says that if you marry you will have difficulty in the flesh. My take on this concluding statement is that to 'remain unmarried' is to remain 'inactive'. While that could apply to a divorced man, it would more likely apply to a 'virgin male'. Which would take this thou back up to verse 7a 7 "Yet I wish that all men were (5) even as I myself am." Paul said this refering to the fact that he was a eunich. That would mean this verse (28) is simply saying marriage itself is not a sin. The reason this makes sense is that why would ANYONE question the marriage of a virgin as possibly being sin? 1 Corinthians 7:28 But if you do marry, you do not sin [in doing so], and if a virgin marries, she does not sin [in doing so]. Yet those who marry will have physical and earthly troubles, and I would like to spare you that. My second point is that the thou may actually be going back to verse 24 which states, "Brethren, each one is to remain with God in that condition in which he was called." To paraphrase a possibility...Each one should remain with God in the condition he is called, however, if one does marry, they have not sinned. God bless |

Thanks for the feed back. My main question is "are there 4 biblical reasons to divorce and remarry?" Commenting on your comments, I believe I Cor.7:27-28 shed some light. I think this verse is settling some issue at Corinth as to whether a man should be married (sex going along with that, see 7:1, "It is good for a man not to touch a woman." NKJV, KJV and NASB.) So here Paul is saying (as I see it, I'm looking for correction if I'm wrong) that if a man is not married, that it is God's best to remain unmarried, but if he is married, it is also God's best to stay married. If a man is divorced biblical (i.e because of fornication, death, desertion, or their past is under the blood.), Paul (through the Holy Spirit) gives comfort to them. (vs.28 "If you do marry, you have not sinned." NKJV) "Trouble in the flesh" is said of by Matthew Henery: "Marrying is not in itself a sin, but marrying at that time was likely to bring inconvenience upon them, and add to the calamities of the times; and therefore he thought it advisable and expedient that such as could contain should refrain from it; but adds that he would not lay celibacy (Note: I think your word "eunich", is the same as "eunuch", which is a castrated male [websters 1828], did you mean "celibacy" of paul?) on them as a yoke, nor by seeming to urge it too far, draw them into any snare..." -Matthew Henery Acts-Rev 6th vol. pg436 Ok I probably said to much already, so let me know whether or not I'm off my rockers to believe 4 reasons for divorce and remarriage. Love in Christ Jackson |
