AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:1 Now about the spiritual gifts [the special endowments given by the Holy Spirit], brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. |
Subject: Am I ignorant |
Bible Note: Ah, actually the Bible does address this. Jill 1 would be perfectly justified in pulling up stakes and pitching her tent elsewhere. Many believe that adultery is the only reason for divorce, but this verse seems to dispel that belief. It would be imperative to say that Jill 2 is being immoral, to say the least! And Jill 1, it would seem, would be sharing in that immorality by staying in that relationship, and would be wise indeed to leave town and not to even look in her rearview mirror! Matt 19:9 "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery." John p.s. you make a good point, and I would agree that the Bible doesn't seem to have answers to all our questions: even some of the questions it raises. But maybe that's more our fault, and not the Bible's. |
