That's for an unbeliever. The scenario was believers.

Why not? Man leave, man cleave. Sounds like a marriage to me. Genesis doesn't seem to limit marriage to believers, or Christians, or "those of...

IMO for there will be no procreation.

The part that comes from Judaism is the principle of loyalty to God. One should marry within the faith, which was under the Law. In the same way,...

And yet some "Christians" have done bad things. Explain. And then what happens? You're not filling in the blanks.

But would you regard there marriage to be a marriage according to Scripture or not?

Since we’re being legalistic, can you explain why God nullifies Marriage in the resurrection then?

Sometimes, we crack me up. Here we are arguing about whether it is better to commit one sin in order to not commit another, or whether murdering...

I have another question. When did divorce become a sin? It isn't in Judaism, and as far as I can tell, it never was.

Good point. Either Jesus was talking about everyone or He was taking exclusively to Jews under the Law of Moses.

Yes God fix things through people. We as Christians are being lead as we have the Holy Spirit in us. If God works on them can they feel so...

Well the text does say Jesus forgave the woman caught in adultery

I disagree and have given you the Scripture to this. Peace.

I don't think that what unbelievers do vis a vis marriage matters a hill of beans. Sinners sin, so why should adultery be an issue for them?

Sometimes God relies upon people to fix things... Yes. Yes we can. But that's also an expression of free will. An abusive husband, or wife...

Sorry, I couldn't disagree more. Killing Bathshebas' husband did not make marrying Bathsheba more noble! It was an act of *murder* that caused...

Just so we stay on the same page, of which text do you refer here?

What the text says is that divorce is sin. What the text does not say is that there is not forgiveness. What the text also does not state is that...

Do you have any Scripture for this? I would like to agree with you if it was there.

I have asked the question which I have not received an answer yet I think. If marriage is instituted by God, then how can a tradition/ceremony not of...

Maybe he’s a Christian if he beats her every other day? Or once a week? Legalism is a slippery slope.

Well, since we believe in grace, I guess the option to just kill the other spouse would make it OK to marry again, maybe. If, according to Paul,...

If the divorce was unbiblical, then what can you do but trust God to remedy the situation? To marry again someone else is not an option.

candles don't reflect light they bring the Light into what was darkness. if one is a child of God then what is of God shall become apparent in them...

By the way, can someone point out to me where Jesus qualified his statement as being limited to believers? He said “If a man...” not “If a...

You presume he is not.

Paul!!!!!!! 1 Cor. 7.

Scripture is clear what they are. 1Co 7:15* But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such...

1 Cor 7:15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved

If they were obedient they wouldn’t have left in the first place. Now what?

If spouse leaves and married another, then what?

a man that beats his wife every day is not a believer. No he does not.

Paul. ........................

You will get opposition to this but I can’t help but notice the irony that statistically religious Jews have a significantly lower divorce rate than...

Well, then divorce is an option in some circumstances. Now we just have to figure out what those are.

says who ?

Sorry I seem to have lost you.
