Mark chapter 10:11 and 12... Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. Mar 10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
I am happely married 30 years today 3 Oct.... Shoul I find myself NOT married today but a divorced or unmarried person I would like the same than Paul had... Stay unmarried and devoted to God.
Had I been a fornicator/Adulterer/over active sexual monster that destoys marriages and families for my fleshly lusts and then FIND JESUS! Do you think I will again love another person with fleshly lusts, or will I be so busy with God's will that there is no time for other love!
Remember this... If two virgins marry and the husband take her virginity he does well, but if he leaves it in tact, HE DOES BETTER. And even Paul advise us to "even though we are married" we should live in celebacy. It all is only a form of DEDICATION to GOD!
Also there is the fact that a widow that wants to remarry, should only marry "only in the Lord". And these men that ARE in the Lord that are single. they do not marry easely. They are VERY dedicated to thair WORK IN THE LORD. So it will be difficult to get one of these ment to marry in the first place...
Apllicable verses..
1 Cor 7:39... The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 1Co 7:40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
1 Cor 7:27 to 29... Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 1Co 7:28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you. 1Co 7:29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
Just read 1 Cor 7 it gives you quite a clearity on how much a marriage is sacred, and how much more unmarried people can get out of the relationship with God. Specialy women!
Marry Jesus if you are a free woman. I know only one person is responsible when two get divorced, and the other is free. Even if the other one now "redescorvers" Jesus, wich I do not believe, because if he had jesus in the first place he would not have been divorced. But that can open another can of worms, let me just say... Any person that has Christ Jesus in him or her is already so full of the first love, GOD, that they would hardly need ANY other love at all! I just look at how dedicated Jesus was to be busy with God's Work, and I see how much the world NEEDS this from all who has to give this LOVE and dedication, what a waste to have it stored in one family!
The world needs God's love WAY more that God's people needs WORLDLY LOVE! Amen!
