Subject: Can a divorced person remarry? |
Bible Note: Ed, my good and respected friend: It is indeed a fact that "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." This being so, it would be unnecessary for Jesus or Paul to define divorce since the actual meaning of the word was already known and understood by the people of the NT era. After all, divorce is/was a legal term and carries an objective legal definition that at that time was known and understood by all. "Therefore it is not a question of remarriage at all since the first would be considered not to have existed." Exactly! That is exactly my point. You make my day. Thank you for your reply. Take care. |
