Bible Note: Steve, hello! I am perfectly fine with your interpretation. Many people agree with you. When you mentioned 1 Cor. 7, I think that this passage is actually in support of my interpretation of Ezra, as betrays your view. Paul never tells the Christians that it is alright to divorce, and he actually says that the believer sanctifies the unbeliever. Read verses 12-14... not just verse 15. ischus |
