Subject: Can a divorced person remarry? |
Bible Note: Kalos You make me rethink a position on divorce and remarriage. You made a statement,"THE JEWS, GREEKS AND ROMANS OF THE NT ERA CORRECTLY UNDERSTOOD THAT DIVORCE INDEED IS A DISSOLUTION OF THE MARRIAGE BOND JUST AS THOUGH IT HAD NEVER BEEN." Is that factual? I always knew that divorce dissolved the marriage but I never knew it made the marraige as though it had never existed. I'm not challenging but asking here. If Jesus talked about divorce and knew these implications then He would be saying when he gave the exceptions for divorce that after the divorce the marriage in question never existed. If the person was never married they would then be free to marry. Therefore it is not a question of remarriage at all since the first would be considered not to have existed. EdB |
