    If the unbelieving depart, let them depart.
  • Rob - In Reply on Matthew 5 - 3 years ago
    If someone advises you you are free to remarry, they have no understanding of what law is , laws can not be broken , without being a law breaker and guilty of and deserving the consequences.

    A person that brakes a law can be forgiven in true repentance. But they can not continue in the sin because they are forgiven, that's just crazy , but some people's understanding of law is crazy too .

    Some may say we don't live by the law but by grace , that's partly true .

    Romsns 8 .2

    The law of the spirit ....

    The spirit of God NEVER breaks the laws , but rather fulfills them or goes above them , but never contrary to them by doing what they forbid .

    God said He would put His spirit within us so we could keep the laws , the flesh is weak and cannot keep the laws in general .

    Galatians 5 . 14 - 21



    If we are led by the Spirit we are not under the law verse 18

    If we are doing the works of the flesh verses 19 , 20, 21
  • Rob - In Reply on Matthew 5 - 3 years ago
    The grace of God is a free gift given , not our works of any kind even if they fulfill the law like the rich young ruler that refused to follow Jesus .

    You can not earn grace it's a gift . But Grace never breaks the laws . We cannot do as we please . If we are led by the spirit of God we do no sin .

    Breaking of the law is sin .

    As men we can sin by being led into error , or temptation and there is forgiveness, to be found Jesus is now in heaven and is faithful to foregive us our sins if we confess them !

    If he is not a Christian (and his fruit as a child of God stinks);

    You are free to remarry.

    The marriage chapters.

    1 Corinthians 7, Matthew 5
  • Rob - In Reply on Matthew 5 - 3 years ago
    Stay faithful , you have done it so far , don't give in to temptation.

    Only death frees a person from a marriage, read Romans ch 7 .

    There is so much misinformation on divorces theses days .

    God will judge adulterers.

    I met a couple years ago they both where married previous and decided to marry again and started a new marriage that they regretted later .

    They felt they rushed into it and had bad counsel . They broke up the second marriage confessing the sin of it .

    Verse 10 let not the wife depart from the husband COMMAND of the Lord .

    Verse 11 remains unmarried or reconciled to the husband .

    Verse 15 if the unbeliever depart let them depart , brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases ...

    What is the bondage in such cases ?

    Impossible to be the marriage law , so it is the COMMAND of the Lord verses 10 and 11

    If you say it's the marriage law , why do we even have laws ?

    You can not break the laws with out sinning . So it's the Lords command to stay together , you can not force the unbelievers to obey the Lords commands . But you must remain single or break the law and become adulterous.

    God bless you sister Rachel

    It is a harsh thing to go through, but the truth is the truth. As long as your husband lives you can not marry again. If you do that, you will be living as an adulterous woman.

    It is not nice to have to write about it. It is not nice to have to think about it. It is not nice to have to accept it. But it is the truth.

    We are freed from sin, but still responsible. If you as a Christian steal something, you have to go and give it back. If you as a Christian have a living partner, you cannot marry someone else.

    Peace & Love in Christ
