Nelson Boils:
From the transcript 'What is marriage?'
Ray said:"If adultery is involved,Jesus okays the marriage of a divorced person."

But, 1 Cor 7:10 NIV-"...a wife must not separate from her husband.But if she does,she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband."

Does the above verse go against remarrige?Actually,what is happening here?

Gina:
He means she can't just leave her husband when he has remained totally faithful (i.e., doesn't withhold love and affection, hasn't been physically, verbally, mentally, and emotionally abusive, provides food, clothing [not mink coats] and housing (necessities) for her and their children--assuming he is physically able to, and didn't defile the marriage bed). 

Let's say he gets in a bad accident and is in a coma or something or is unable to work and can't provide the basics, and maybe he  becomes very depressed and loses his temper because of it, but isn't guilty of all the other stuff, she can't just up and walk out on him because he's of no "use" to her anymore.  If she does walk out on him, then she can't remarry and she has to remain unmarried.  Or else, reconcile with her husband. 

On the other hand, if he hasn't been faithful she is permitted to divorce him and remarry if she chooses to.  But that doesn't mean she MUST divorce, or must remarry either.

Nelson Boils:
I'm not sure if I follow.I always thought remarriage goes against this verse,and quite frankly,I still do.I'm disappointed Ray did not elaborate more on this.

I don't know though,perhaps you could try explaining it again using scriptures that support remarriage under the new covenant.Are there such scriptures?

indianabob:
One of the purposes of this instruction is to lead the people of God to consider very carefully the requirement of a life long commitment such as marriage. Especially our marriage to Christ.

Marriage is a picture of how our relationship with God should be.
Even though we are called and even though God has the power to see to it that we finish the race. the lesson is to teach us how valuable, serious, important our relationship with God is and to give us joy in the challenge.

Luke 14:26-33 New King James Version (NKJV)

26 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. 27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— 29 lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish’? 31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

Sorry, but I don't want to and I can't do any better than Ray did.  Friendly suggestion:  put this aside for a while, and pray about it and ask God to give you wisdom and try to relax when you read Ray's paper again.
