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? [/quote] This is a very difficult question to answer, not because the scriptures aren't clear but because so many people in our generation are living in the sin of adultery due to an unlawful remarriage. You referenced 1 Cor. 7:15 in your OP but maybe you should take a second look at verse 10 in the same chapter. "To the married I give this command [b](not I, but the Lord)[/b]: A wife must not separate from her husband. 11 But if she does, [b]she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband[/b]. And a husband must not divorce his wife." Paraphrasing the commandments of Jesus himself, Paul teaches us that there are only two options for a divorced believer regardless of the reason for divorce or who files for divorce. Remain unmarried or be reconciled. [/quote] That is to the church..meaning two believers [/quote] Two problems with that view point: 1) Paul does not make the same distinction you're making. His message is to the "married" and he makes no distinctions concerning whether both spouses are believers or only one of them. 2) The believing spouse in v. 15 obviously falls under the admonition to the believers in v. 10 not to remarry after a divorce. Do you think he is allowing remarriage for some believers but not others? [/quote] Paul is talking to the church. Two believers because he says not I but the Lord, and he gives instructions to BOTH the husband and the wife. You cannot give commands to an unbeliever. He then goes on in verse 12 saying to THE REST I say this...making a distinction from verse 10 [/quote]

If the person is not bound to their spouse when they leave can they then remarry a believer?
