What God Joined Together - Family Radio

this verse would contradict everything else in the Bible that concerns marriage
and divorce.
The only possible meaning in regards to the second usage of the word
“loosed” is that the shackle that has bound the wife to the husband has been
broken by her death. That conclusion is in total agreement with passages like
Romans 7:1-4.
As a matter of fact, even the first usage of the word “loosed” in I
Corinthians 7:27 cannot refer to divorce because Romans 7:2 stipulates that
only if her husband is dead is a wife loosed from the law of her husband. In
other words, even if a husband divorces his wife, she is still bound to him
insofar as God’s law is concerned Therefore, when God speaks of a man being
loosed from his wife, He can be referring only to the loosing caused by the
death of his wife.
Thus, I Corinthians 7:27-28, like all of the other passages we have
examined, gives no assent whatsoever to the idea of divorce or remarriage
after divorce.
