CLEAR TEACHING ABOUT NOT UNDER BONDAGE - from Jariatu Gbla I - TopicsExpress



          

CLEAR TEACHING ABOUT NOT UNDER BONDAGE - from Jariatu Gbla I read a great explanation that said, free from bondage is referring to the woman/ spouse is now free to serve God. bondage is referring to the marital obligations that you are now free from and can now use that freedom to serve the lord wholeheartedly. When it says we have been called to peace, it refers back to gods original plan of reconciliation (which is peace). I found this explanation: Bound (as used in Romans 7:2-3 and I Corinthians 7:39) referring to the one flesh is a different Greek word than the word used in I Cor. 7:15 (not under bondage). Yes, in that passage we see that a person is not obligated to be a slave/servant to this person who has chosen to leave/depart. Nowhere in that passage does Paul ever give permission to marry another. If we look back on I Cor. 7:10-11 we will see this same allowance given to a woman who has departed..........she is to remain UNMARRIED (she is not obligated to serve/be a slave) Or she can reconcile. In neither case does Paul ever state that the marriage is dissolved and either are free to marry another. The only place we find such an allowance by Paul is in Rom. 7:2-3 and I Cor. 7:39, where Paul specifically says that DEATH dissolves the one flesh bond----giving right to marry another.
