And that's how dramatic my freedom was, when I found the truth.What if you are wrong, Polly? You could be convincing people to sin against God with liberality.
When the Truth shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
There's no question in the mind of one who has been made free by Truth.
No, this is not a backlash against Mennonite teachings. I remain faithful to what I see in the Word of God, no matter who stands with or against what I see in it.
What you are saying, is something that makes no sense.
You are saying that an adulterer remains perpetually married to the one he sinned against.
Yet, the Lord says clearly that if one is sinned against, they are free to remarry.
(Except it be for fornication.)
Which creates a very strange marriage.
A marriage where only one is still married to the other.
I believe Paul spoke precisely, and he spoke under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
He spoke to 4 groups.
The first one was to the "unmarried" and to the widows.
The word "unmarried" is defined for us only a few verses further down, where Paul used it to speak of one only SEPARATED from her husband.
Virgins were addressed separately. Therefore, "the unmarried" did not include virgins.
Paul also said to "the rest" that they were NO LONGER UNDER BONDAGE to a marriage where the unbeliever (an adulterer qualifies as such) has departed from the marriage.
And to wrap up the discussion, Paul says that if one is loosed from a wife (Greek word means 'broken') and marries another wife, he has not sinned.
