4 | Divorce is not allowed? | 1 Cor 7:15 | JuanMas | 113638 | ||
The reason the verse says "causes her to commit adultery" (Mat 5:32) is because the "illegal divorce" gives the wife the "illusion" that she is free to move on with her life and remarry. However, in reality, she is still bound to her husband and remarrying someone else would be committing adultery. Jesus said that God hates divorce and these "Rules" exist to guide us through this "journey" of life on earth. |

5 | How are people married? | Eph 5:22 | JuanMas | 61461 | ||
I've wondered the same thing? I've not found any reference in the Bible that detail a marriage ceremony as an exchange of vows. However, I have found at least three examples of marriages that came into existence thru cohabitation AND consumation: 1. Deut 21:10 gives a soldier a procedure to follow in order to marry a woman of the enemy. 2. Gen 16:2 indicates how Abram (who was already married to Sarai) took her maid, Haga, to wife. 3. Gen 29:20 is the clearest evidence of them all and is the story of Abram, Rachel and Leah. Abram worked 7 years for the hand of Rachel, the youger sister. After the wedding celebration, the father sent the older sister to the marriage bed instead. Abram woke up the next morning to find that he had actually consumated a marriage with Leah, the older sister. After confronting the father, Rachel was sent to him one week later to wife. In this story, there was only one wedding feast which obviously involved Rachel. Therefore the marriage to Leah was due solely to cohabitation and consumation. If you think about it, Adam and Eve used the same procedure. |

6 | What makes a christian an unbeliever? | 1 Cor 7:15 | JuanMas | 61455 | ||
I know other christians who state that any christian man who deserts (divorces) his wife for non-biblical reasons is an unbeliever. They subsequently apply 1 Cor 7:15 and declare the wife eligible for remarriage. Interestingly, I've proposed these scenarios to those individuals and received the following answers: Scenario 1 - he's an unbeliever; Scenario 2 - he is NOT an unbeliever. Now this made no sense and was totally illogical to me. How could an act that is a violation of the 10 commandments NOT result in the perpetrator being declared an unbeliever and an act that is not one of 10 commandments brand a christian an unbeliever? I agree that 1 Cor 7:15 pertains to the unequally yoked and I believe it is a misuse of the scriptures to apply it to scenario 1 type situations. |
