I think that you are probably right.

Don't you think that in these verses "cirumcism" means "jew"? Why does
Paul say that one who is "circumcised" should not become
"uncircumsized"...certainly he is not talking about physical
circumcism in this instance. He may be simply saying that jews should
not become non-jews and non-jews sould not become jews when thy come
to Christ. vv. 20 & 24 seem to support this interpretation.

Circumcision may be nothing Christine.You can only do it once.
Adultery on the other hand , can be, and in this case is, continual
sin. Those who live in continual sin when they know that it is wrong
are not following Christ; they are living in rebellion to His
command. There is no forgiveness unless they turn from their sin to
Christ. There are no new creatures with old natures. I know that
sounds harsh, and I wish I could find a loophole. I had to break
fellowship with a brother I love over this same situation.

I was reading 1 Corinthians 7, not particularly
thinking of this topic, but I read this about
circumcision:
1 Cor. 7:18 - Is any man called being circumcised? let
him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in
uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
And then verse 19 says how circumsision is nothing,
and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the
commandments. I was wondering: does this verse apply
to this situation at all? If the two were unsaved when
they were divorced and then remarried, and then get
saved while in this second relationship, it doesn't
sound right to divorce again, just as someone
circumsised should not be uncircumsised after coming
to Christ. Why not accept forgiveness and begin to
walk afresh?
And I have a question: does King David's example apply
to this situation? Or was that different?
What do you all think? This is a difficult issue.
Blessings!
