[quote:natalie:MV8yODA4OTQxXzQ5MjEwNzc2X0E4RDdDMkRE] [quote:DeputyDog:MV8yODA4OTQxXzQ5MjEwNzMwXzI1RDhBMkVD] [quote:natalie:MV8yODA4OTQxXzQ5MjEwNTU4XzdFREQ1OTM2] So in romans 7 2:3 2For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband. 3So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.… And in 1 Corinthians 7:15 15Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. He says the person is not bound... [b]He must mean to the marriage covenant[/b] so both are free to remarry [/quote] He can't mean the marriage covenant since he would be contradicting himself in v. 10 when he says that if you're a believer and find yourself divorced, you cannot remarry. By using the word "bondage" in v. 15, Paul is most likely referring to his earlier statement in vs. 3&4: "The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife." He's saying that even though you are still lawfully married in God's sight to the spouse that is divorcing you, you aren't expected to fulfill any marital obligations. You are free to separate from them and live alone. [/quote] No in verse 10 he is talking to the church...so 2 believers! He then says to the rest... [/quote]
Original Message
But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
If the person is not bound to their spouse when they leave can they then remarry a believer?
