David,
My original posting was:
I have been reading in 1 Cor 7 concerning marriage, divorce, etc. v27
DEDESAI GUNAIKI MH ZHTEI LUSIN LELUSAI APO GUNAIKOS MH ZETEI GUNAIKA
V28. EAN DE KAI GAMHSHiS OUX hHMARTES . . .
I understand that LELUSAI is Perfect M/P Indicative, and that the
Perfect tense denotes a present condition based upon a past action.
This then would mean that the person spoken about here was once bound,
got loosed and is still loosed. Which comes to my question. Does Paul
in the context, based on v28 then say that a person that were
divorced/loosed can then get married again? Theologically I have always
believed, once divorced never to remarry again. But, plain theology is
not the issue here. What do you guys say about the text here?
Any comments?
