Amy idolized her "perfect" marriage, but was blindsided when her husband left one day and never came home. Feeling like a failure, she knew she had to find a new way to live her life.
If you separate from your husband you must remain unmarried or be reconciled. That's the Bible (Mark 10) this woman is living in Adultery. I pray she continues to see God for His will to be fulfilled in her life. (sin repented must be forsaken)
(But if the husband or wife who isn't a believer insists on leaving, let them go. In such cases the Christian husband or wife* is no longer bound to the other, for God has called you* to live in peace.) I Corinthians 7:15.
@@janieluna5017 has nothing to do with remarriage. Verse 16 explains what verse 15 stated. If a spouse is living you cannot remarry. *Bondage:* to make a slave of, reduce to bondage metaph. give myself wholly to one's needs and service, make myself a bondman to him. That's what bondage means. The *duty* of wife or husband no longer if the unbeliever departs. But nothing to do with remarriage. That's against scripture. Even John the Baptist told King Herod that he had his brother's wife! Both were unbelievers. Yet the LORD still sees the brother as the husband.
@@janieluna5017 NOT UNDER “BONDAGE”……. If the unbelieving depart..... let him depart. A brother or sister is not under the bondage of servitude [Greek word Douloo] because of the separation, but should intercede for the salvation of the departed one, praying for his/her salvation and for reconciliation. A Testimony from a Sister in Christ : Quote : But just to be clear, here is something I recently discovered: I finally looked up the Greek and compared what Paul said about a woman being bound to her husband as long as he lives (1 Corinthians 7:39), and how when the unbelieving spouse leaves, the other spouse is not 'bound' in such circumstances (1 Cor. 7:15). Did you know that 'bound' is two different Greek words in these verses? 1 Corinthians 7:39 A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord. 'bound' is the Greek verb 'deo' deó: to tie, bind Original Word: δέω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: deó Phonetic Spelling: (deh'-o) Short Definition: I bind Definition: I bind, tie, fasten; I impel, compel; I declare to be prohibited and unlawful. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin a prim. verb Definition to tie, bind NASB Translation bind (7), binding (1), binds (2), bound (23), imprisoned (4), prisoners (1), put...in chains (1), tied (4). Now, in 1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. 'bound' is the Greek word 'douloo' 1402. douloó ► Strong's Concordance douloó: to enslave, bring under subjection Original Word: δουλόω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: douloó Phonetic Spelling: (doo-lo'-o) Short Definition: I enslave Definition: I enslave. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 1402 doulóō - enslave (passive, "become enslaved"), focusing on the status of being a bond-slave. In contrast to the other verb-form of the same root (1398 /douleúō), 1402 (doulóō) stresses the results (effects) of enslavement. That is, what automatically goes with belonging to another. See 1401 (doulos). So there is a difference between the bond between a husband and wife (for life) and this being 'bound' or 'under bondage'. So I am still bound to my husband (married in God's eyes, no matter what man says), but not under bondage to him. He does not rule over me, but I am not free to marry someone else because he is still my husband. It is interesting that Paul says these two things in the same chapter First he says the believer is not 'bound' under the circumstance of their unbelieving spouse leaving them, and then he says that a wife is 'bound' to her husband as long as he is still living. It seems to contradict, but it doesn't. It's a different word. - Ricky B - “Not Bound”, No, HAS not been enslaved ( PAST TENSE! ) Kehillah in Corinth I 7:14-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) 14 For, [T.N. following the principle of bikkurim], the ba’al who is an Apikoros is mekudash b’Ruach Hakodesh (set apart as holy in the Ruach Hakodesh) by the isha, and the isha who is an Apikoros likewise by the Ach b’Moshiach; otherwise, your yeladim are tema’im (unclean); but now they are tehorim (clean). [MALACHI 2:15] 15 But, if the one who is an Apikoros(apostate- a person who renounces a religious or political belief or principle) separates and departs, let the separation occur; the Ach b’Moshiach(brothers in Moshiach) HAS not been enslaved(past tense), or the Achot b’Moshiach(sister in Moshiach) in such cases; but Hashem ('the Name’)- is used to refer to God, particularly as an epithet for the Tetragrammaton, when avoiding God's more formal title, Adonai ('my master’).)has given you a kri’ah b’shalom(calling peace). 16 For how do you know, isha(woman), if you will not bring your basherter (destined mate), your ba’al(Husband), to Yeshu’at Eloheinu (the Salvation of our G-d)?
