Subject: Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? |
Bible Note: Dear Pastor Moran, Yeah, I have heard this before, that she becomes an adulteress when her husband divorces her in Mark... People don't get the historical contexts and the grammatical contexts that drive these passages at all, they think in terms of now and what these transilterated words and passages mean in the now, not what they meant then. I have also in the past, due to circumstances had to explore the meaning of porneia, and porne the related word, in order to determine what constitutes such a thing. I had two pastors and three ministers do exegesis on this whole issue of Mathew 19, Mark 9, I Corinthians 7 and being unbound and in what way, what consituted porneia in the first century, and the use of grammar in all three passages. I settled for I Corinthians 7:11 after much much counseling and plan to err on the side of complete and utter caution and plan to remain in that state until the day I die, unless someone repents and then reconciliation could be possible. I find it interesting that if it were fornication and not stopping but saying, I repent that I entered into it would be completely unacceptable, but having committed adultery by remarrying and repenting and continuing in it for expedience sake is considered passe. I wonder what dear Apostle Paul would think? I wonder what dear Jesus would think? I think I would wonder hard before saying okay, I understand it is too late, go on ahead and stay in it. It is never too late to walk away from sin of any kind, just pick up and say I am done, cut it, suffer the consequences of walking away from sin, any sin. In the end only one Pastor, mine was against me getting divorced based on the exegesis. I had every reason according to the others exegesis to cut it and be free and remarry one day. That is why I was surprised to hear him say in Bible study the other day about the same thing John said after his exegesis many years ago. He holds the same view, if two Christians are now together, having gotten married, there is no reason why God would not forgive a past sin. Yeah, I think I will make the effort to purchase these two books for real Pastor Moran... Yours in Christ, Tamara |
