If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. (1 Corinthians 7:28)
Paul likes to tell us to remain in the situation we are in when Christ called us.
Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife. (1 Corinthians 7:27)
Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them. (1 Corinthians 7:20)
Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them. (1 Corinthians 7:24)
Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord. (1 Corinthians 7:25)
36 If anyone is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if his passions are too strong and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married. 37 But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin—this man also does the right thing. 38 So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does better.
39 A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord. 40 In my judgment, she is happier if she stays as she is—and I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
Point being, we discard Bible teachings all the time. A virgin marries, she doesn't sin. A widow decides to marry, she doesn't sin. But not many are virgins and widows and some marriages are sin. But if your in a sinful marriage when God calls you, you should remain with the one you're married.
In the Bible, women were virgins for their first husband. Is this true anymore?
In the Bible, Jesus spoke against divorce and marriage after divorce.
Surely churches do not speak so much against marriage after divorce. But the Bible does.
Whose advice on love and dating are you going to take? The Bible's? Or another source? The Feminist Movement offers its opinion on that. Anything goes in the Feminist Movement. But who is a virgin for her husband?
I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. (2 Corinthians 11:2)
Is this practiced any more?
Who wants to be a virgin for Jesus?
Who wants to be a virgin for her husband?
What woman keeps her virginity for her first husband?
And is it HOLY MATRIMONY to marry a divorced woman? (Luke 16:18 and Mark 10:12)
