Bible Question:
Widows and remarriage I have read all about the divorced entries and what God's word says about it. But where does a widow fall in? My husband is deceased and I want to know if a widow is allowed to marry a divorced man, and if so, based on what scripture? Thanks |
Bible Answer: Dear BEG, Please read 1 Cor chapter 7. As a widow, you are free to remarry; however, if the divorced man's ex-wife is still alive, he should stay unmarried. (1 Cor 7:39) Shalom Azure |
