Subject: Remarriage of a christian |
Bible Note: Hello again Azure I can't see any biblical support for the statement that "God only puts much weight on a first marriage than a second, regardless of the reason of the failure of the first marriage". It seems to me that a second marriage must be in one of three catagories: 1) a fully acceptable marriage in the will of God like the remarriage of a widow. In this case surely God would put as much weight on the second marriage as on the first. 2) A sinful second marriage that is unrepented of and which is contrary to God's will, such as a wrongful marriage of a guilty party after divorce. In this case surely God does not recognise the second marriage. 3) A wrongful marriage that has been genuinely repented of and which God has forgiven (like David's to Bathsheba)on which God puts as much weight as the first marriage because he is so gracious. He gave Solomon to David and Bathsheba! God bless Apollos |
