Bible Discussion Thread

Even after reading the commentary, I am still unsure of what 1 Corinthians 7:1-11 is telling me. I am separated from my husband for domestic abuse and his inappropriate behaviour and lack of responsibilities which left me nearly penny-less and I have low self esteem, lack confidence and depend on others too much for my existence. I am also a single mom and my separated husband is the father of my daughter. It is not safe for my daughter to be with her father unsupervised. My separated husband is in a Rehab for men and they have daily Bible Studies. Recently, my husband asked me to read this passage of 1 Cor. 7:1-11 and reply back to him what I think. I think it says elsewhere in the Bible that a spouse is not bound by the marriage law if their spouse dies or is unfaithful, what about domestic abuse? I am not looking to have another man in my life. I have Jesus and He has met my daughter and my needs. I am just seeking some guidance with this passage. Can anyone help me. Thank you. Katherine
