I was so delighted on how you have explained everything and made things clear..this issue nowadays is rampant..a lot of spouses are deceived and with twisted information being preached by some church leaders who are pro-remarriage..Thank you for posting this video..I am single but I am standing for MARRIAGE as a lifetime commitment..only death can dissolve it and not the state or the man..GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!!!
Amen Me too. Iam single never been married. BUT I STAND FOR THIS TEACHING. As a single women of a certain age. It is DIFFICULT to meet men that stand on this teaching and who are NOT divorced. Yet inspire of this I will stand on this Word. The husband God has for me is for me.
@@Gud2B_Blessed Be careful who you marry. In all of the Bible, Matthew 19:9 is the most comprehensive single scripture on divorce and remarriage. "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.” Matthew 19:9 NKJV SEVEN (7) FACTS WE LEARN FROM MATTHEW 19:9 THAT ARE VERY CLEAR AND CONCISE: (1) JESUS IS SPEAKING. "And I say unto you..." Jesus wanted to make this fact clear to start, that it is JESUS speaking, to clear up any confusion on the subject. (2) DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE IS ADULTERY (SIN). Generally, it is not allowable. It is clearly a sin, and "the wages of sin is death." (3) ANOTHER FACT YOU NEED TO KNOW: DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE IS ADULTERY (SIN), with only one single solitary EXCEPTION: THE ONLY EXCEPTION given by Jesus Himself, IS IN A CASE OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY ON THE PART OF THE MARRIED WIFE, after she is already married (not before). Jesus said, "HIS WIFE." Period. Not "husband." Not "fiancee." Jesus said, "HIS WIFE." Jesus made a special exception, for one case only, a cheating wife. So, the betrayed husband has an exception, if needed, to divorce and remarry, BECAUSE OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY, if committed by her, only. (4) There is no exception to remarry given in this verse for a betrayed wife to remarry. The only exception mentioned is for the husband, and not for the wife. Why? That is open to speculation, but the fact remains the same: The only exception mentioned is for the husband, and not for the wife. (5) Whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery (sin). IMPORTANT: There is no exception for any man, whatsoever to marry a divorced woman given in this scripture. (6) There is no mention of "betrothal" or "premarital acts of sin" or "engagement," either mentioned or inferred, in Matthew 19:9. The exception given is clearly referring only to a man with A WIFE, not granting mention to a "fiancee," "espoused," or a "betrothed." Premarital sex is not involved with the exception given unto us in Matthew 19:9. (7) Lastly, "...whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery." The man given the exception (and there is clearly one given in the original text) CANNOT MARRY A DIVORCED WOMAN, either. The betrayed husband, if he chooses to divorce and remarry, must marry a single Christian lady, or a widow only, because Jesus Himself said that the betrayed husband cannot marry a divorcee. These are SEVEN (7) FACTS WE LEARN FROM MATTHEW 19:9 THAT ARE VERY CLEAR AND CONCISE regarding divorce and remarriage in the Bible.
Brother you broke this ALLLLL the way down!!! AMEN. I have watched and searched and studied....hundreds of videos.. this one is definitely among my TOP 10. EXCELLLLENT TEACHING. I APPLAUD YOU. 🔥✝️✅🙏💍
Glad to find your passion on this and preaching the truth. I have helped someone reconcile a marriage after being 21 years divorced. Congratulations on your mother standing for her covenant marriage. I am 12 years a Stander who considers herself married for 38 years. My channel is over 3.5 years old because the Lord told me to start telling people about the permanence of marriage and divorce and remarriage is adultery AND to tell people to get ready for the coming of the Lord Jesus in the rapture. There are a lot of foolish virgins who are looking for the rapture, but they are in adulterous remarriages and will be left behind. There are alot of pastors who are going to be shocked to be left behind for teaching falsely on the covenant of marriage. Divorce +remarriage with living spouse = adultery. I added your video to my playlist that has around 300 videos, and I have talked about this over and over in many of my videos since I am walking this out in life like John the Baptist who was beheaded for the truth. I am very excited that Jesus could come at any moment to take me home, and I am ready to fly up. God bless you.
Sorry for the delay, for some reason your comment was held for review, I just found it. Wow praise Jesus for keeping you the past 38 years!! Yes divorce and remarriage adultery is killing many people today and many churches and leaders are leading people to commit such adultery many of those same leaders are in this adultery themselves. Wow 3.5 years that's awesome! About that many years ago I got rid of my old channel, between that time satan attacked me and cause me to loose all my old videos I had stored. Jesus had me make this channel and re-post old content plus new content which He had been teaching me more recently. Thanks for adding this video to your playlist! And yes, we must be ready because He can come at any moment to gather us. Jesus bless you.
Am one of the foolish virgins who has been busy waiting for the return of Jesus Christ while in a divorce and remarriage situation. It is with a sorrowful heart that I learnt of divorce and remarriage through a dream that God gave me. He was very clear that I will go to hell because of that. I repented and I want to do the needful as soon as possible.
This is the best breakdown brother!This is very serious!Churches don’t even talk about this and will be ignorantly leading many to not be able to enter the gates of heaven.That is why it’s vital for each of us to search the scriptures for ourselves and study because we will be held accountable.🙏🏽✝️
I'm separated from my wife right now, and have been wrestling with this issue, and have come to the believe that what you are saying is the truth and that is what the Bible says, plain as day. It has been very hard going through this process, a lot of heeling has and is happening for me. I have been praying for my wife, our marriage and our family. I am not going to consent to a divorce.
I'm right there with you. I will not consent either. When I told my wife about how divorce isn't acceptable she mentioned our pastor being on his second wife. Pastors are truly discouraging and leading people astray. Hang in there sir. I learned in this time to learn how to be faithful to God. My focus is on growth at this time.
@@derrickhahn3469 Amen Jesus bless you. And yes, sadly many pastors today prove this scripture to be true: Rom 2:22 You who say a man should not commit adultery. Do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? Rom 2:23 You who glory in the law, do you dishonour God by disobeying the law? Rom 2:24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you,” just as it is written.
Thank you for your confirmation. My husband and I got married in our Church and then the courts, I am still married to my husband, even if we are divorced through the courts, but we made a covenant with God in Church. My husband is out in the word and with other women. Please pray for me, I am praying for reconciliation and been standing for more than a year and 1/2. I want so much for Jesus to remarried us again and for my husband to love and serve God with me and my kids. We have 6 kids 4 boys 2 girls and my girls are special need. Please pray for us. Pray for my husband Humberto. Thank you.
Amen will pray for you, Jesus bless you. I know of testimonies where God restored spouses who left and went into the world, and those marriages were fixed and set of Holy Spirit fire for God. Be encouraged and continue to focus on what good and right Jesus is leading you to do.
Amen, praise Jesus! I do have contact info, you can email me from here: tncir.weebly.com And then from there I can respond to you, just make sure to enter your email address correctly.
Oh and another justification I have heard people try to use is "putting away is different from divorce....to put away just means to separate from" LOL....yes people do try to use this to justify it
Amen!! Yes you are right!! I had some one bring that very thing up in the past two weeks. I am going to be doing a follow up video on that lol. And yeah it says Joseph was about to put away Mary when they were engaged.... Mary was not even in his house yet to be put out the house.... so obviously he was planning on divorcing her to cancel the marriage certificate. Also God in Jer 3:1 used the word "put away" when quoting Moses Deu 24:1-4 law, and Moses said divorce.... meaning they are used interchangeably.
Excellent teaching!!! Thank you so much for speaking the truth about this issue. I share a lot on my fb page and the backlash can sometimes be so overwhelming at times because some especially the ones in or attempting a remarriage get really angry at me and sadly even unfriend me 😢🙏🏻💗
Hey Beth. This is really a good find for a young person with a new channel. Great that he says that you need to end an adulterous marriage!!!! Very nice that his mother is a Stander, and she didn't listen to the lies from church people and pastors. I don't agree with him on his teaching on the rapture though. The New Covenant is for the church not Israel. The church is not Israel, and the church is all born again believers either Jew or Gentile. Galatians 3:28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. The rapture happens and then Israel is saved afterwards as prophesied during Tribulation/Daniel's 70th week and Jacob's Trouble. God bless.
Amen. So many are going to be left behind because they think that grace is a license to sin. I have been witnessing since 2007, and the voice of the Lord told me not to divorce my husband even though he had been in long term adultery. The way is narrow and few will find it.
People say baptism erases previous relationships and sanctified new ones they don't understand repentance or that baptism washes away sin not covenants otherwise you would have to remarry your current spouse
Thanks for speaking on this subject. I've have been divorced since around 21 or 22, my husband left me and not to long afterwards filed for a divorce. I was found by Jesus maybe around 25 years of age. I have never remarried. My husband has been married twice since he divorced me. He was married for over 20 years and his wife left him and she had been previously married. He divorced her and after my mother passed in 2017, we have communicated with each other. I know that he believes in remarriage, we had a brief discussion. I sense that he desires to reconnect with her, and it's been ten years since he divorced her and she's been living with another man who she has not married. I want to be reconcile with him, but I believe he needs to understand God's will on remarriage is adultery and they and their family went to church and he still does, but there's not sound biblical teaching there. 😕 Please 🙏 for me and thank you so much for this video!!!!!
I recall telling someone that they were in adultery and she quoted Paul. I corrected her on what Paul said and she refuted. I asked her something long the lines "Even if Paul said it was okay, you're willing to disobey Jesus the God of your salvation to listen to someone else?" and I don't recall what happened but the argument ended at this point. Now, talking to a dude, he was divorced and remarried. He married a woman to get her into Canada and then remarried. So far, it sounds like he's in sin. He alo justified his marriage referencing people who come from different religion/backgrounds, i.e. islam
When people quote Paul, I quote Paul too with Romans 7:1-3. I know someone else who did that to get someone into Canada. My question is did they make vows and have sex? If they just lied (which is also sin) and never considered it a marriage then the proof would be that they never touched each other sexually.
@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways is it relevant whether a vow and sexual intercourse was completed? In my opinion, I don't think so but it is a question that could be asked to Jesus. Here are the reasons I believe it may not really matter if vows and sex is required to bind someone to the marriage rules set by our Heavenly Father and Jesus: 1) There's life and death in the power of the tongue. If we believe this; then already because of the declaration of marriage they are already bound. 2) We have to consider if sealing that declaration with a kiss or any form of physical contact would constitute a seal. 3) We still consider a couple to be married even if they are unbelievers and don't make vows according to the Laws of God. But going back to my previous reason, they are bound to the marriage rules because they declared in the heavens (earth and Heaven above) that they are married. Only Jesus can correct me and give us all insight on this particular example.
@@mararuth6533 Then let Jesus tell you. But I have known fornicators who get down on their knees and declare they are married when they are not. They know they are fornicating. God will not be mocked.
@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways I think that situation is totally different. They haven't obtained marriage certificates to go with their declaration of marriage. In this case, they are not married, but fornicating. For those who do obtain marriage license/certificate this is definitely a marriage.
In order to understand the Bible we have to understand the culture and yes divorce and remarriage is adultery: Notice how YESHUA uses the word “fornication” in Mathew 5:32? Fornication is “outside” the marriage while adultery is “within a marriage”. This ties in with Joseph and Mary in Mathew 1. They were “betrothed” or engaged in the modern world, which means they signed a “ketubah” which is a marriage contract which is as binding as marriage and can only be broken by fornication. Even though they were betrothed they were still called husband and wife. So when Joseph saw that Mary was pregnant, he thought she committed fornication against him and wanted to divorce her even before they were officially married. There are two stages in a Hebrew wedding: the first stage is the betrothal, they sign the contract which is binding as marriage but not official. They don’t live together for about a year, then they have the wedding feast for 7 days the marriage is consummated and they live together. After that they are now WEDLOCKED “What YAHWEH has joined together let man not separate.” So YESHUA is saying that you can only get a divorce during the Betrothal (engagement) stage of the marriage and only for reason of fornication. Once you consummate the marriage it is until death do you part.
"So YESHUA is saying that you can only get a divorce during the Betrothal (engagement) stage of the marriage and only for reason of fornication." Technically when YESHUA was asked if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife for *any reason,* His answer was "no": Mat 19:3 Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, *“Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”* Mat 19:4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, Mat 19:5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’ Mat 19:6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. *What therefore God has joined together, do not let man tear apart.”* So in the West and much of modern culture, engagement does not equal married. With the Hebrews, engagement equaled married. That is why they had to divorce betrothed parties, under the laws of Moses. We are not under the laws of Moses.
"Fornication" is a translated word not found in the Greek text that is often misconstrued. The NKJV uses "immorality" for the Greek "porneia," which is a better translation. You should never build a doctrine based on one weakly translated word. The exception is for a married man, not an engaged man. In all of the Bible, Matthew 19:9 is the most comprehensive single scripture on divorce and remarriage. "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.” Matthew 19:9 NKJV SEVEN (7) FACTS WE LEARN FROM MATTHEW 19:9 THAT ARE VERY CLEAR AND CONCISE: (1) JESUS IS SPEAKING.

These are SEVEN (7) FACTS WE LEARN FROM MATTHEW 19:9 THAT ARE VERY CLEAR AND CONCISE regarding divorce and remarriage in the Bible.
@@BennettJonWayne-xw9vi it won't say "premarital acts of sin" because betrothal is a stage in marriage. A woman in a betrothal is called a wife, and the man is called her husband (Matt 1:19,20). Why doesn't the law for the writ of divorcement apply to a cheating wife? In both cases, where a betrothed woman cheat, and where a consummated woman cheats, it's punishable by death. The husband would be a widower - he can marry again. However, if a woman goes into a betrothal pregnant, there is no law of capital punishment. Deut 24 provides a fix for the betrothed husband. Interesting what you said in point 4. There is no exception ...for a betrayed wife to remarry. But that is what Deut 24 is all about. The woman accused of uncleanness can remarry, and a man can marry her except her husband. There is no o.k. for the husband to remarry. Curious. Why can the woman and the other beau marry? Deut 22:28
@@escalus84 Either you are married, or you are not married. There is no "half married," or partly married. Betrothal is "engaged TO BE MARRIED," but is NOT YET "married." Betrothal is "intent to marry," but the marriage is "not yet consummated," or joined together. Jesus changed the Mosaic Law. Moses himself said that another prophet would come after him, and that we should follow after Him. That prophet is Jesus. You are quoting the law of Moses. Jesus changed the law of Moses, and fulfilled it.
People completely misunderstands Matthew 5&19 He tells them they can divorce for fornication which was answering their question He did not say they could remarry though no where. He say very plain if they do they commit adultery and if anyone marries the one divorced commits adultery you can only commit adultery if you are STILL MARRIED ONE FLESH IN GODS EYES!
Amen, it is true many do misunderstand, and yes when lawfully married one is still one flesh in Gods eyes. By the way what did you mean by this: "He tells them they can divorce for fornication which was answering their question He did not say they could remarry though no where." Because He does say they can remarry if they divorce due to fornication: Mat 19:9 And I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is put away commits adultery. This verse in reference to the laws of Moses, clearly illustrates that fornication is the only grounds for divorce where a remarriage is not adultery. The actual issue here today is that many do not understand that Jesus is referring to the laws of Moses, not the New Covenant laws. Jesus answers their question about Moses, then references this law of Moses: Deu 24:1 When a man has taken a wife and married her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes, because he has found some uncleanness in her, then let him write her a bill of divorce and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house. Deu 24:2 And when she has departed from his house, she goes and becomes another man's; ... Jesus covered the same thing as Moses here by subject; the reason for divorce was "uncleanness", which is also used as fornication else were in the OT; then He covers if other men takes her to be a wife, just as Moses covered in his law. Jesus' language was in direct line with the language of Moses law, which He was asked about. So this was not a New Covenant teaching, Jesus was correcting the Pharisees in their understanding of Moses' law, meaning except for fornication was the only thing lawful according to the written law of Moses concerning divorce and remarriage.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 I was taught exactly as you are teaching this, but someone pointed out that Jesus answered their question,can a man divorce for any reason? He tells them for fornication they can then continues to say if they remarry another commits adultery and whoever married the one out away commits adultery. If it was lawful to remarry because if fornication then how can whoever that marries her commits adultery if she is no longer considered married? Also, in the Law if she was considered unclean on her wedding bed (no blood token on sheets) she would be taken to her parents house and stoned to death because of it wouldn't she have? Deutornonmy 22:20 But and yf the thyng be of a suertye that the damsell be not founde a virgen, 22:21 let them bryng her vnto the dore of her fathers house, & let the men of that cytie stone her wt stones to death, because she hath wrought folye in Israell, to play the whore in her fathers house.

Anyway thank you and nsy the LORD keep you safe and bless you greatly according to His good pleasure
I was wondering if you could give me clarification on these scriptures (1 Corinthian 6: 9-11) I heard a minister saying that the Adultery and Fornication were cleanse in verse 11 when Paul told the Corinthians, and such were some of you, but you've been washed, sanctified and justified. 🤔 Thank you.
Sure thing. Please excuse the length, I quoted context with the passages to the scriptures, I was referencing. Now, 1 Cor 6:11 says: _1Co __6:11__ Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God._ This simply means they repented and no longer do those things, being cleansed by God. That is why he spoke in past tense, they "were" those things. But they had repented and God was faithful in washing them and cleaning them and so on. Remember what John wrote here: _1Jn 1:7 _*_But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin._* _1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us._ _1Jn 1:9 _*_If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness._* _1Jn __1:10__ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us._ Specifically verses 7 and 9. We all have sinned, and when we come into fellowship with Jesus and the Father, we are expected to confess those sins to be washed and now live in the newness of Christ living according to His commandments, as John continued into the next chapter: _1Jn 2:1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous._ _1Jn 2:2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world._ _1Jn 2:3 _*_This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments._* _1Jn 2:4 One who says, “I know him,” and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him._ _1Jn 2:5 _*_But whoever keeps his word, God’s love has most certainly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:_* _1Jn 2:6 _*_he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked._* When we are cleansed, Jesus takes the sin away, and we are now expected to live in His Word, the Seed, as John also demonstrates here: _1Jn 3:4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness._ _1Jn 3:5 _*_You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and in him is no sin._* _1Jn 3:6 _*_Whoever remains in him does not sin._*_ Whoever sins has not seen him and does not know him._ _1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous._ _1Jn 3:8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: to destroy the works of the devil._ _1Jn 3:9 _*_Whoever is born of God does not commit sin, because his seed remains in him;_*_ and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. [Ref Luke 8:11]_ The _cleansing_ is done through the Word of God who transforms us, teaches us and instructs us in the new way to live (John 15:3, Eph 5:25-26). John said it is Jesus' blood that cleanses us (as I quoted earlier); what is interesting is John illustrates that Jesus' blood speaks (1Jn 5:7-8), so does the book of Hebrews (Heb 12:24). So it is His Word, His testimony we are cleansed by. When we are cleansed the result is a new way of doing things. Does this make sense? Did I answer your question?
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 Thanks so much for the reply. It was just this minster made it like once they had been cleansed, they had a clean slate and were no longer bound by their past sins and can freely marry, even if they were adulterers before they got born again. Maybe I missed understood 😕 thinking once married you are that way for life saved or unsaved even after divorce until the other spouse is dead, but it seems like once I come to Christ my past is forgiven, this includes my failed marriage and the slate is clean and I'm no longer bound by that adulterous state in the past, I am free to marry in the Lord though I had previously been an adulter prior to my salvation that stigma no longer holds. Is this correct? 🤔 Thanks so much for taking the time, but I just wanted to have a right are correct understanding.
@@endtimesuponus789 your welcome, and thank you for elaborating further on what you were asking. Now you stated: _"Maybe I missed understood 😕 thinking once married you are that way for life saved or unsaved even after divorce until the other spouse is dead,"_ This is true, once you are in a legitimate marriage (neither you or your spouse have been married before) according to the Bible, in the New Covenant, it is for life; God ends true marriages through physical death, not through divorce, mans piece of paper. Those who divorce and remarry, or marry someone who is divorced are in adultery according to Jesus and Paul (and adultery is sin). Those who repent and leave those adulterous marriages, are repenting of the sin of adultery, just like how one who was cheating (traditionally) on their spouse repents of adultery by ending the other relationship. With what you said here: _"but it seems like once I come to Christ my past is forgiven, this includes my failed marriage and the slate is clean and I'm no longer bound by that adulterous state in the past, I am free to marry in the Lord though I had previously been an adulter prior to my salvation that stigma no longer holds. Is this correct?"_ Was your failed marriage an adulterous marriage? Or was your failed marriage a legitimate marriage? Because if you have a "legitimate" marriage in your past, a legitimate marriage is considered holy, there is nothing to be forgiven regarding it; so legitimate marriages are not dissolved once one becomes born again (I cover this around @27:28 in the video). Now if one before they are born again, was in an adulterous marriage (or more) and those marriages end, or they repent, yes even when they are born again, that adultery is gone. But their first legit marriage is still active in the sight of God, it is not gone, which means they remain single or reconcile with their spouse, like Jesus commanded through Paul. If the unbelieving spouse had departed and refuses to reconcile, the believing spouse should be praying for the salvation of their departed spouse, as alluded to by Paul. When people become born again, yes past sins are washed away, but they are not suppose to continue in the marriages Jesus called adultery and they are not to look for a new spouse to enter an adulterous marriage. They are suppose to be faithful to God's definition of marriage in seeking the salvation of their spouse, and if possible reconcile. Legitimate marriages do not need cleansing as they are holy, present adulterous marriages cannot be cleansed (as in made legal) as they are sin, past adulterous marriages that one is no longer in, one CAN be cleansed from, just like how we can be cleansed from all past sins. Did this answer your question a little bit better?
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 Thank you for taking such time to bring clarity to my questions 😀 I have a better understanding now. I nor my spouse had been previously married, it was the first time for us both. One last question, we got married before the Justice of Peace, does this has any bearing on the legality of it ? Thank you once again for helping me. There so many voices on this subject and I think most of them that oppose this type of teaching are in a remarriage or wanting too. I myself seek none, I've been by myself every since the Lord Jesus found me several years after my husband left. Though I had relationships after he left, they were never serious enough to want to marry, The truth of the matter is that I ❤️ my husband and I always will, I've been living unmarried for over forty plus year's and I am okay with that. Again I say thank you 😊
@@endtimesuponus789 your welcome! _"One last question, we got married before the Justice of Peace, does this has any bearing on the legality of it ?"_ The short answer "no". The long answer: Jesus said this: _Mat 19:4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,_ _Mat 19:5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’_ _Mat 19:6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, do not let man tear apart.”_ In saying this, not only did He answer the question He was asked by the Pharisees, but He also illustrated that God's design of marriage is based from the beginning with Adam and Eve. This means all that is technically needed for God to acknowledge a marriage, is a free man and a free woman who mutually give the oath of being husband and wife. Today we have other traditions added to this which is good and some for good reasons especially sinse sin has increased in the world. Traditions such as ceremonies, and rings, and even marriage certificates, witnesses and so on. These are all good, but at the end of the day, what makes a marriage *legal* in God's eyes, is the oath/word spoken between the two who have acknowledge officially that they are husband and wife. I know of a number of couples who married literally before the LORD with a few witnesses, and they are married. I know a woman and a man who married in their apartment, they exchanged vows and officially married. There was no one else present, they did it before the LORD. They are married. I know others who have done this, and because of sin and satan, the other dipped out on the marriage and said it was not legit because they do not have a piece of paper. The other spouse who was left has been faithful and trusting Jesus. This is why I also say that the the traditions and laws are good especially for accountability and conscience. Myself, I did both, I married before the LORD, then went through the nations to get our marriage certificate. I felt gross going through city hall, they just wanted money to give us a piece of paper. Yet, it is good to follow the traditions and laws of the land, especially for conscience sake and to not let your good be evilly spoken off. But at the end of the day, the definition of marriage in God's sight, is the words/promises spoken officially by an eligible man and woman. Having witnesses and a piece of paper I believe is a great tradition to secure the two because of the sinful world we live in. Also, on the same subject of legality. Adding ones own vows that go against God's definition of marriage or are sin, to ones marriage vows, are not actually considered in the sight of God when a couple get married. For example, I have heard people marry and in their vows leave room to separate if things do not work out. From what I have heard on this subject, the LORD ignores those words and does not honour them, as He already defined divorce of a first time married couple as illegal. So that couple is still accountable to uphold what being a husband and wife is, according to the definition God has given. Even if one adds divorce and remarriage to their vows, those words do not count, as Jesus called that adultery. It's like saying "we are married, but in our marriage we can see other people", God counts those actions as illegal and can send people to hell. _"There so many voices on this subject and I think most of them that oppose this type of teaching are in a remarriage or wanting too."_ I found this same thing to be true as well, those who support divorce and remarriage, most of the time are divorced/remarried or desire it to be legal because of their own _selfish ambition,_ which James calls this wisdom demonic (Jam 3:14-15). I have found they are not judging based on what is true or right and how Jesus Himself treats us; they are not judging by Jesus' character and His long suffering for us, even while we have committed adultery against Him with the enemy so many times. _"The truth of the matter is that I ❤️ my husband and I always will, I've been living unmarried for over forty plus year's and I am okay with that."_ Wow praise Jesus that is awesome, and you are a living testimony. I pray Jesus works everything out for you and your husband, and that your faithfulness is greatly rewarded.
I’m currently in my 2nd marriage. Both times I married a divorced woman. That means I don’t have a covenant spouse, right. I and my current spouse have been together for 13 yrs. My wife’s first spouse is still living. What do I do
Hey Mark, I am sorry about your situation, 13 years is a long time. The only thing I can suggest that you do is really seek Jesus about your situation and how to move forward from here. Since it is clear that Jesus said marrying a divorced person is adultery, and that adultery is sin, and we must repent of sin; you are going to have to seek Him on the wisest and best way to handle this situation, as well as any truths you may be missing (I will explain what I mean by this close to the end answering your first question). The reason why I suggest seeking Jesus first, before doing anything, and before listening to human advice, and not to just rush and cut things off, just because you watched my video (or anyone else's), is for the following reasons: 1) My videos are to direct people in seeking Jesus Christ for guidance in how to handle their situations and come out of sin. 2) Jesus is the only one who knows the best way for you to come out of this sin with minimal damage, since this particular category of sin is a sensitive subject that many do not even realize, or understand to be sin, and this does involve other human lives and not just your own. 3) On the heels of number two, you do not want to move to hasty and do things in a way that causes extra damage you will have to deal with later; or cause damage for others to deal with, when you can seek Jesus for the best way now and follow His leading to avoid as much damage as possible. 4) Often times if we do not really seek Jesus for guidance and for more grace about our situations, even after dropping it and fleeing from the sin, it is very easy to get seduced into going back again, if we do not have a solid foundation that is built on what Jesus has been showing and teaching us about the truth. 5) Jesus is the only one who can reveal truths that may be missing, or information that makes things clear, shine light on situations that may look one way, but are actually another. I will cover this in the end where I answer your first question. So with watching this video, or any other videos, or anyone else that speaks about the truth regarding the sin of divorce and remarriage, the most appropriate response to the conviction, is returning to Jesus in repentance seeking Him for truth and Grace (instruction and power to walk in the right path). From there, do as He leads you. You asked: _“I’m currently in my 2nd marriage. Both times I married a divorced woman. That means I don’t have a covenant spouse, right.”_ Based on the words you have spoken here it seems that way. It sounds as though your marriages have all been adultery (thus so far I have been speaking that way in response to you), but I do not know the depths of how this all personally works for you. I do not wish to discourage you or make things complicated for you, but I have to be transparent and honest with how complicated this _could_ be. It may not be a simple “yes” to your question. I do not know if your previous spouses were in adulterous marriages before you, and if their spouses were also in adultery before them, if you do know for sure, then great! Knowing this can make things a lot easier, other wise it can be complicated. For example: if your first spouse was married before, but the man they were married too was married to someone else before marrying them, then this means that marriage your first spouse had before you, would have been invalid. Which, if this was the case could have made your first marriage valid. And this is just _one_ example with your first spouse. If you do not know or you are unsure of all the history, it is not as easy to simply say, you do or do not have a covenant spouse right now. So I am very cautious with answering these types of questions. This is why I say you really are going to have to seek Jesus for the truth, be patient, let Him guide you into all truth as He promised the Holy Spirit would do. You are really going to have to seek Jesus about the full truth about this web of marriages to be fully sure of where you currently sit and the direction you should take and *how.* Where it sits now, if everything you said is as plain as you made it, it is clear you and your current spouse will have to repent of adultery and you should be free to marry. But Jesus will have to make that clear, Jesus has power to clear all this up and make your paths straight. Does this make sense to you at all?
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 I understand plus my current wife has been faithful but I wasn’t plus she knows I have been with men and women. I have repented but now she is going to be confused if I tell her we have to divorce
@@markdumas4587 yes, I understand, and this is why I suggest seeking Jesus, and following Him in how to walk in the right direction. At the end of the day it is not only about Jesus saving you, but also your current wife. Will be praying for you all.
What do you mean by the tense spoke? And do you mean that divorce or adultery is a one-time act? Divorce is a one-time physical act, while being also a consistent mindset (in the heart); and adultery is just as consistent as fornication is consistent; it stops when the illegal relationship ends; and again it can also be a consistent mindset (in the heart).
I think it’s because many of us haven’t seen it heard of any marriages that were successfully recovered from abuse and chronic cheating. And usually when it does stop, the innocent praying spouse has already suffered 20-40 years of the abuse. Which is no way to live. I do understand. But I understand also, that Law is law.
It is true, it is rare to find such testimonies and will be even harder as the world continues to grow darker and darker. But apart from Law being law, praise God that Grace is also Grace; what I mean by this is, Jesus teaches us and leads us in how we are to go, and can heal those wounds and make the burden light. Because you are right, living with such abuse and living with aftermath of such abuse is no way to live at all, thus Jesus is able to fix what is broken and heal what is wounded.
Any practical ideas on how to speak this and live this to my ex-spouse and kids who believe she is justified in her new relationship because i committed adultery? I am repentant of this and try to remain humble and understand only time rebuilds trust.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Please remember that when interpreting scripture that we must do so with historical context and the Spirit behind what Jesus was saying. The Pharisees were tempting Jesus when they asked about marriage. Also, during John the Baptist beheading, Herod married his brothers wife, which made it unlawful. God HATES divorce and from the beginning he did not want it, just like sin in general. But, this is one area where he allowed Moses to make it allowed, because of man...but he Still hates it. That's why we should avoid it at all cost and be equally yoked with no sex before marriage. But this rarely happens. But Jesus clearly states that he did not come to destroy the law or the prophets. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Matthew 5:17-22, 27-32 KJV bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.17-32.KJV..........do you see how Jesus stated the commandment then went on to hyperbolic the sin next for EACH sin. How many of us are plucking out an eye or cutting off a hand. I dont think he meant it literally, but we get the point! Just like when He talks about divorce he mentions the decree, but then goes on to state what he Really intended for us fron the beginning, although it is still allowed. So we should strive not to get divorced in the first place to please Him! In the book of Deuteronomy the man could put away his wife for what he felt was uncleanness and she could remarry, but not return back to him if she did remarry someone else and they then divorced. Please consider re reading these scriptures and asking God for real revelation of what is being said so that we are not spreading dogma even with good intentions! Be Blessed!
"How many of us are plucking out an eye or cutting off a hand. I dont think he meant it literally, but we get the point!" Jesus was being literal. When i was getting ready to chop some body parts off, I asked Him about it. He told me that His words were literal, but chopping those parts off would not help me. He said He spoke those words literally, but in wisdom, the wisdom was tat our physical bodies are never the reason why we stumble, our heart is the reason and external physical things that hook our heart. Our heart (mind) controls the body. He said that his words were literal to express the richness of how serious this is, but yet His words were wise in the fact that our bodies are never the reason why we stumble. Many people do not actually get the point, they still have not circumcised their minds, it is evident because they are still falling into the same sins. They have not gotten the point because they have not deleted the phone numbers, got rid of the picture and the other physical things, if it did cause them to cut their hand off, they would not believe and in fear not do it, they cannot even get rid of their external addictions. As for this: "In the book of Deuteronomy the man could put away his wife for what he felt was uncleanness and she could remarry, but not return back to him if she did remarry someone else and they then divorced. Please consider re reading these scriptures and asking God for real revelation of what is being said so that we are not spreading dogma even with good intentions! Be Blessed!" I agree, people should really take back to Jesus the things I said in this video, as well as examine the scriptures, seeking Jesus for the truth. Are you trying to imply it is okay to divorce and remarry (which Jesus called adultery) and not return to ones original covenant spouse like (Paul said to do or remain single, if one divorces/separates) because of the Laws of Moses?
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 Yes, I agree! Jesus was speaking in Wisdom! Which is my whole point. Jesus stated in Matthew that He came to not destroy the law or the prophets, but to fulfill. Then went on to state what he intended from the beginning, which is no divorce period! But, He did allow it under the law of Moses only because of man. But He still hates it! That's why I say that God wants us to understand what he wants and not take it lightly at all. Be equally yoked. No sex before marriage and no Divorce. My point is God doesn't want it. But he allowed it.
@@unityforchrist3821 Yeah amen, He allow it and now ended it and has called us to honour our vows, trust Him to reconcile or at the very least to save the unbeliever who departs.
@@unityforchrist3821 This video explains all of this already, but I will elaborate here again. ~To establish a background foundation~ The ultimate (i.e. final) commandment Moses left with Israel concerning their future progression in the instruction of God, was that they are to listen to the words of the Prophet God was to rise up who would be like Moses: Deu 18:15 HE WHO IS your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him. Deu 18:16 This is according to all that you desired of HE WHO IS your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again HE WHO IS my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.” Deu 18:17 HE WHO IS said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken. Deu 18:18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him. Deu 18:19 It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. Jesus as we know, is that Prophet that Moses spoke of (John 12:49-50). Jesus came and fulfilled the Old Law, yes, and now He has established a New Covenant which has replaced the old, where He now is the new Moses who we are to listen too, who is under a completely different priesthood; as it is written, with a new priesthood, there must also be a change in the Law. So this means the New Covenant can and does have a change in the Law, so this means Jesus in fact can and did establish this New Covenant with Laws that are different than the Laws of Moses; Hebrews says it best (Caps are to make my words distinct from the scripture): Heb 7:11 If truly then, perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron? Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law. [

Scripture clearly teaches: anyone who divorces and remarries while their covenant (original) spouse is still living (with the exception of fornication) is an adulterer or adulteress (Matthew 5:31-32, Matthew 19:3-9, Mark 10:2-12, Luke 16:18, Roman's 7:2-3, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 1 Corinthians 7:10-15, 1 Corinthians 7:39). In addition, scripture clearly teaches in order to receive God's mercy one must repent or they will perish (Luke 13:3). According to Proverbs 28:13, repentance has two elements confessing AND forsaking our sins: "People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess AND turn from them, they will receive mercy." Remaining in an adulterous remarriage is not repentance. The liar has to repent and stop lying; the thief has to repent and stop stealing; the homosexual has to repent and stop committing homosexual acts; and the remarried adulterer and adulteress has to repent and stop committing adultery. Sharing the scriptural truth regarding divorce and remarriage infuriates those who are supposed to be followers of Christ. The words of Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul anger his alleged followers like no other topic. Perhaps it's time to obey Jesus and to begin believing He means exactly what He says. Most importantly, ALL sins are unforgivable without genuine repentance...including remaining in adulterous remarriage. According to the clear, easy-to-understand words of scripture, Jesus most definitely sends unrepentant adulterers and adulteresses to the lake of fire. It's time to confess and forsake adulterous remarriage.
Hey Randal, thanks for commenting and encouraging people to repent :) I do have a question for you regarding what you stated here: _"Scripture clearly teaches: anyone who divorces and remarries while their covenant (original) spouse is still living (with the exception of fornication) is an adulterer or adulteress"_ Regarding the "with the exception of fornication", I was wondering what did you get from the part of the video (@10:57 to 22:18) which explained the "exception of fornication" as well as referencing Matthew 19:3-9, Mark 10:2-12, Luke 16:18, 1 Corinthians 7:10-16, 1 Corinthians 7:39 (by extension Roman's 7:2-3), showing that today there is no exception?
@@randalnethery22 Okay cool amen. And even if you did not agree, I was just trying to be clear. Thanks again for your comment. Jesus bless and keep you!!
oh my....what to do....seek Jesus.....why do that when the Bible calls the marriage...adultery....and where, in the Bible does it justify living in this sin....
"Seek Jesus" in how He wants you to handle to come out of it; everyone has different situations and issues they may have to deal with in coming out of the adulterous marriage. The answer to overcoming sin, is obeying Jesus, so it makes sense to pray and ask Him about it and do what He says in overcoming. "and where, in the Bible does it justify living in this sin...." It does not, neither do I.
@@philipbuckley759 if one is in deed in a divorce and remarriage adultery situation, they should seek Jesus for counsel in how to handle the situation in repentance. Jesus will guide them in how to handle it especially wisdom concerning children and so on.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 really would one, in a homosexual relationship.....seek the Lord, to determine what course of action would be required......
@@philipbuckley759 Yes they would. See, what I mean by this, is that they should seek Jesus in how to escape the situation/spirits the most effective way. The reason why it makes sense to seek Jesus on this, is because many run and never actually get delivered from the spirit and then end up going back to the situations, even in different ways. We can do nothing of ourselves (Joh 15:4-5), we should be following Jesus even in HOW to repent and leave ungodly situations. This is important especially when it comes to relationships, because children can also make matters more complicated, it is not just one or two lives being effected, but with children it can be multiple. One should be seeking Jesus for wisdom on how to handles all of this. Jesus is the master at cleaning our messes and leading us into the right way.
My ex husband didn’t want to make it work and wanted an out. I gave it to him. We were both unhappy and God knew he wasn’t the one. I’m ok staying single until I meet Jesus. ❤
how do you validate the adultery is on going and not....an act.....and even if it were.....would one be able to change an illegal marriage, into a legal one.....
Adultery is an on going act because the relationship is a sin. If you are married and have another woman, that relationship is called adultery. Jesus called divorce and remarriage the same thing.
@@philipbuckley759 you state for fornication of your understanding it was in the betrothal period. However, God divorced Israel in marriage. A man had sex first with his wife before he knew she had committed fornication so he divorced her. He was still married! The man divorced his wife in Deut 24 she could remarry. The covenant is fractured in marriage if one has sex with another other then their spouse. The 2 have become one flesh with another. This is grounds for divorce. Fornication is SEXUAL IMMORALITY. If you look at the law it was bestality, incest, adultery etc The person who is deserted by the unbeliever is no longer bound to that marriage - give all the interpretation of the words you want. All scripture is given as men were moved by the Holy Spirit. Paul gave this by the same spirit Jesus gave his words. Jesus came to set the captives free, not to condemn... Yet so many feel they can condemn and chain people to a marriage that has ended in divorce and tell them they have to go back to their first marriage or remain single. Where did Jesus say that?!!! No where in scripture was one told to do that!! It was forbidden actually in Deut 24. The Holy Spirit moves us all today. Not all around the world have the scriptures - however, they trust in the LORD to guide them. Prayer by prayer, moment by moment. Not everyone interprets scripture the same... Thus the reason for so many denominations. Many are in anguish as a result of unwanted divorce, no choice of their own. Many flee for their lives. Not every situation is the same... God is faithful and leads each one. Have a good day. May God bless you on the race.
Philip Buckley. First if fornication has the same meaning as adultery as you say it does, which it does not. Then why did God list fornicators and adulterers in 1 cor 6. So you saying God listed the same thing twice. I don't think God would make that mistake. He listed them both because there different. God bless and may u find the truth.
@@philipbuckley759 Where in the Bible does it say the Bible is the guide and no one needs Jesus to guide? The Bible says that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, who speaks what He hears from Jesus to guides us (Joh 16:12-15); the Bible does not say Jesus sent the Bible to guide us. You are in error.
@@festuscox amen! Jesus listed them as two different sins too: Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: Mar 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
John piper and voddie bauchman say they teach permance but at the end they add that you should stay in adulterous remarriage. It's almost crazy to watch they preach permance except for remarriage
Yeah amen, it is crazy to believe you can stay in an adulterous relationship and say you repented of adultery. That is like staying in a fornication relationship and saying you repented fornication. I think the reason why people teach to stay in the adulterous marriage, is because they see divorce as a sin in every instance. They think divorcing the adulterous partner is a sin, and that one would be repeating the sin of divorce if they separate from adulterous partner as well. So, they say "stay with the adulterous party". It is clear that people who teach this, do not understand that this adulterous marriage is the sin of adultery, and one cannot stay in this. They must leave the adulterous partner; part of that is divorcing them through man's system, because it was man who put them together anyway, not God. This divorce would not be a sin. The first divorce which tore apart what God put together was the sinful divorce, divorcing from an adulterous marriage is actually repentance if being done to come out of the adultery.
Greetings. According to what Jesus said in the Bible, if two people who were never married to anyone before get married, they are married in God's eyes. If they divorce and remarry to other people, that second marriage is actually adultery. So according to Jesus in the Bible, anyone in a second marriage is actually committing adultery. Jesus answered the Pharisees very clearly and said it was not lawful to divorce for _any_ reason. I am not sure if you watched the whole video, but it really does cover this explicitly and extensively.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 thank you for your response, my question was alluding to a statement that you made in the video inferring that usually people who divorce and remarry go through more divorces. My question thus, if they happened to be in their second marriage and it works , would that be a sign that God is ok with it and that is why things seem to work. I am by no means trying to challenge you as you really explained these things that only spiritually minded personalities can understand. I am in this situation myself and hungry for more understanding as to not succumb to the flesh, world,emotion, any clarity will be appreciated. I tend to believe that God is against remarriage but sometimes yield to the flesh when I see that my ex-spouse has moved on and seem to live the life. God bless you.
@@thechosenone1727 Greeting again, thanks for your comments and being civil, I really appreciate it. I understand where you are coming from and your question does makes sense; I can totally see how such a thought process seems like it makes sense on surface value. However, regarding your question: _"My question thus, if they happened to be in their second marriage and it works , would that be a sign that God is ok with it and that is why things seem to work. "_ Just because something works out does not mean it is lawful or God is pleased. Simply change the type of relationship in this discussion, take fore example fornication instead. Fornication is wrong, but what if the relationship is amazing? Does that mean God is okay with it and we should continue in it? No. So like wise with adultery, as Jesus called divorce and remarriage adultery. Jesus also taught me that satan, works hard on destroying true marriages, and satan gives temporary demonic "blessings" to adulterous (and fornication) relationships to keep people in them. So we cannot go based off of what feels good or even signs. We must go based off of what Jesus has said in the Bible and is saying now in our lives. What He says now will not conflict with what He has said already in the Bible. _I am in this situation myself and hungry for more understanding as to not succumb to the flesh, world,emotion, any clarity will be appreciated._ My best advice to you is to continue to pray and ask Him for the truth, suspending all old beliefs and especially the beliefs you may like. Just simply want the truth and power to live in it. We live in the last days and very hard times. The scripture speaks of those who do not have love for the truth, and errors they are given to believe the lie. So if we love the truth, we will sacrifice to be sure to receive it and then live in it. By the way, if in seeking you receive contrary to what I have said in this video and in these comments, with truthful wisdom to back it up, by all means let me know. I am always open to learn new things, cause I could be missing something. But so far, what I shared in the video, is what I have learned and seen very vividly in the scriptures. Jesus bless you abundantly.
@@thechosenone1727 Also what you said here: _"I see that my ex-spouse has moved on and seem to live the life."_ Jesus can do the impossible. But if she is truly your covenant spouse, it would be good to pray for her salvation since she is in adultery. If you have the heart to pray for reconciliation that is also good, I know of people who Jesus has restored even after 10 years. But praying for her salvation and her to come to truth and Jesus would be a higher priority. Again just some brotherly advice.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 thank you so much, however in all honesty, I have always believed in Jesus condemning divorce and remarriage. I was raised in a Christian family and was taught so. However, when divorce happens especially against one's will, one begins to look for grounds that would accommodate their situation ( especially when living in a society that based itself on what is fair or not) I have found several interpretation on this topic, but always find myself leaning on remarriage being adultery. God bless
Amen, Biblically speaking yes!! Though I thought in Jewish customs it was considered "adultery" even during the betrothal and fornication (whoredom) before this?
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 no it was only allowed by Moses or Jewish tradition so the wife to be was still a virgin and if not the man could “divorce her or put her away” sorry it was considered fornication or sexual impurity Or forgive her he could marry her
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 you’re welcome 😇 have you watched when David Pawson admonished international house of prayer it’s on UA-cam as divorce and remarriage is adultery unless?
If God does not accept/recognise remarriage after divorce, then why did Jesus say to the Samaritan woman in John 4 vs 18 that she has had five 'husbands'? Why did God use the term 'husband' for the five men that the Samaritan woman had previously married? Isn't the term 'husband' only specifically used to describe a man in a marriage that is recognised/accepted?
Joh 4:16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.” Joh 4:17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’ Joh 4:18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.” Joh 4:19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. In reading this passage I ask: Where does it say this woman divorced and remarried 5 times? Yes it does say, the woman said "I have *no* husband", Jesus said that she spoke the truth about this saying "You said well, ‘I have no husband". But this simply means this woman was not married, but had five husbands before, and who she was with now was not her husband (she was not married). It also does not say if these past husbands were divorces or deaths. And even if the past marriages ended in divorces, this woman was under the _Old Covenant_ where it was lawful to divorce (which is a point I validated in the beginning of my video). This woman was not being held to the standard of the New Covenant, as we are today; at that point in time, Jesus had not died, resurrected, sent the Apostles to teach the New Covenant (Matthew 28:19-20) and had not yet given the Holy Spirit (who is also the law giver of the New Covenant). So yes the woman was married five times before, and the term husband was used truthfully, but to say the woman was divorced and remarried is not in the scripture, this is an assumption, and again even if the assumption is true, she was under the law that allowed divorce and remarriage, a law we are not under today.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 cfs, book of enoch, all this stuff is "adding" to The Word... lots of "study notes" is nonsense.. like supporting a "Trinity"..... God is ONE who is The Father, put into flesh (Begotten Son) and of the SAME SPIRIT (Holy Spirit) but trinity doctrine is like seeing God in 3 different persons like you and your 2 brothers standing side by side.. there wont be 3 thrones in Heaven, only 1.
@@RyanREAX lol you did not tell me why I should use the KJV. I was curious to know your reason. As for the rest of what you said: (1) The CFS is actually based on the World English Bible (WEB) translation, but has a lot of modifications to it making it more accurate than the WEB (such as changing the word "ship" to "ark" and things like these), as well as corrections (in some areas the WEB was missing spaces between periods and the first word of a sentence). (2) The study notes are simply notes which are clearly separated from the Scriptures so people can differentiate what is the Holy Writings and what is not, study notes are no different than people preaching or exhorting except just in writing, so if you have a problem with study notes the you have a problem with people talking about the Bible as well. (3) Lastly where does the Bible say that the use of the Book of Enoch is adding to the Word of God?? I can show you where the Bible clearly endorses Enoch calling his writing prophecy, and show you verses in Enoch that are in harmony with the Bible, and verses that bares truthful testimony of Jesus Christ. As you should know the testimony of Jesus Christ is what the Bible, which you call the Word of God, says is the spirit of prophecy. (4) As for the trinity, the study notes do not support the trinity neither do they oneness that oneness Pentecostals teach. Those study notes barely say anything about the arguments concerning the Godhead.
The only prayers that can effectively be lifted up for you is to ask God to give you the strength, dedication, and courage to obey God and His will regarding this issue of adultery. The salvation of your soul is YOUR responsibility. All christians must "work out their own salvation" - Phillipians 2:12.
Greetings. Are you speaking about Deuteronomy 24:1? If so, I do not see anywhere in the context indicating that this is the betrothal or espousal stage: Deu 24:1 When a man takes a wife and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favour in his eyes, because he has found some uncovering in her, that he shall write her a certificate of divorce, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house. It simply says: "takes a wife and marries her", which means at this point she should be in his house. Also, that uncleanness/uncovering that is found, is sexual immorality, meaning that this context is speaking about after they have married, based on the tokens of virginity (Cross reference with Deu 22:13-21). If you are not speaking about Deuteronomy 24:1, can you show me what it is you are speaking about. Thanks. -Jesus bless you.
@@simonegraham1781 You asked, "So if they are already married and she committed sexual immorality wouldn't that be death and not divorce" It could easily be death, but based on the laws of divorce, if found out privately the husband had the option to divorce instead. It is no different than what happened with Joseph and Mary: Mat 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Mat 1:19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly. By law, if Mary had not actually been a virgin, and was with child through being with a man, she should have been put to death according to Deu 22:23-24: Deu 22:23 If there is a young lady who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her; Deu 22:24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the lady, because she did not cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbour’s wife. So you shall remove the evil from among you. But Joseph was instead going to utilize the law of divorce and not make a public example out of her. Thankfully the Angel of the Lord made things clear to Joseph.

Matthew 19:9 “And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.”
Amen, and before giving this answer to the Pharisees trap question about the laws of Moses, the Pharisees asked Him in general about divorce and if it is lawful for ANY reason, He basically said no: Mat 19:3 Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?” Mat 19:4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, Mat 19:5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’ Mat 19:6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, do not let man tear apart.” After He answered them essentially saying: 'no it is not lawful for any reason', they tried to trap Him with the question about Moses, who did allow divorce. The beauty of what Jesus answer them (which you quoted), is that He referenced the laws of Moses since He was being asked about Moses, and He basically again said outside of this: Deu 24:1 When a man takes a wife and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favour in his eyes, because he has found some uncovering [H6172] in her, that he shall write her a certificate of divorce, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house. He calls divorce and remarriage adultery, concerning what Moses wrote, which again is what He was being asked about. Also, uncovering, or nakedness (H6172), is also used as sexual immorality in the Bible here: Lev_18:6-20; Eze_16:36, Eze_22:10-11, Eze_23:18. So Jesus' first answer to the first question: "is it law full to divorce for any reason", is the New Covenant law, this is what we go by today; there are no grounds. They then asked about the laws of Moses, because Moses allowed divorce, which was contrary to what Jesus had just said; again they were trying to trap Him. When asked about Moses, His answer this time pointed back to the reason Moses gave, which was not for any reason, but "except for fornication" as we see in Deu 24:1. Again He was answering a question about the Laws of Moses here, which He was asked about. He answered referencing the laws of Moses. And we are not under Moses law anymore. Now, there are no grounds, like how Moses had ground for uncovering, or whoredom, we have no grounds at all for it to be lawful.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 Sex indeed will land many to the lake of fire. On a lighter note I want to share this with you. I was sitting on my friends covered porch alone smoking cigars on a hot Texas day. Right by me a storm blew in. Thunder crashed as rain fell. I cheered it on then it all stopped and I said aloud "Thank you Father" and HE responded "I thought you'd like that". After I heard HIS voice I immediately remembered hearing HIS voice as a kid to some outdoor mall. HE knew I'd like it but said "I thought". HE was humble to me and HE whispered to me. I've head The Son's voice too. When THEY speak to you, you automatically know who it is. Jesus spoke into my right ear, the one with no ear drum and clear as a bell. Here is what Jesus said to me "You're on the right path" and "Because I love you". I don't know why THEY notice me but THEY do. THEY are so very kind.
Since when does God not acknowledge divorce. He states he is divorced in Jeremiah? So clearly he permitted divorce as something not sin. Because God cannot sin. That said I am always curious why people teach marriage cannot be created through terms you set. So you cannot set adultery as a break in the terms, necessitating an end to the marriage. I set such a term. I would never have married wihtout it Now that said you could I suppose argue I was never therefore married, if I am not permitted to set the terms in my own covenant, then I agree marriage isn't worthwhile. Because if someone isn't choosing to be faithful they aren't worth remaining in a trusted relationship with at all. It isn't you don't forgive. You forgive, but you can't allow them to come back and restore trust, certainly while they are unwilling to accept the boundaries. So then the alternative is what God required for the unfaithful in a covenant, death. Then your point is Jesus is saying yes, put them to death for adultery, so the non-covenant breaker is free to remarry. In this case I am more merciful than Jesus according to you. Because I forgave her the marriage, and gave her a wedding gift and wished her a successful marriage in her new marriage. God blessed her new relationship with children, so apparently God agrees with my interpretation, not yours. I'm not interested in working out a trusting relationship with someone who was never interested in being in a trusted position with me. I will never choose to take her back, but neither do I condemn her to Hell. But I will never remarry, because I will never allow myself to trust anyone who could use me this way ever again. Humans are too sinful to engage in trusted relationships. Humans must be forgiven, but I now understand they are treacherous, vile, and worthless to engage with, so I don't see others worthy of marrying. I advise young people against marrying. Marriage is only for the weak and foolish according to Jesus.
Hey John, I am not sure how much of the video you watched. But the first thing you said: _"Since when does God not acknowledge divorce. He states he is divorced in Jeremiah? So clearly he permitted divorce as something not sin."_ I explicitly covered this in the video (@37:54). To further answer your question, if you watched the very first maybe 10-15 minutes of the video, I explain that the acceptance of divorce by God was in the Old Covenant, the Laws of Moses. Now we are in the New Covenant where Moses said to obey the prophet to come who will be like him. That one is Jesus Christ. Later in the video I explicitly explain what Jesus taught about divorce and that in this covenant, He expects us to trust in Him to work things out. _"That said I am always curious why people teach marriage cannot be created through terms you set."_ It is explicitly clear that marriage is based on the terms GOD has set, because it is Him who joins those who commit to the marriage: Mat 19:3 Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?” Mat 19:4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, Mat 19:5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’ Mat 19:6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, do not let man tear apart.” This makes it pretty clear, GOD is the one who sets the condition. When asked if it is lawful for a man to divorce for any reason. Jesus' immediate answer was basically _no._
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 Matthew 19:10-12 Disciples say it is better to avoid marriage. Jesus then states yes it is better to avoid marriage, but only the strongest can handle being single. Jesus said exactly this, marriage is for the weak. Further if humans were not so vile, sinful, and worthless Jesus would not have needed to die for all of them, but they are. Don't misunderstand, I am on no pedestal. When I say all people, I include myself in that number. I too am incapable of love as God requires, in my case, because I never learned it, but no human is capable of it, for whatever reason. I've asked, and the answer is always the same, no I don't meet the biblical standard. Over and over again from Genesis all the way to Revelation the Bible points out how dangerous and destructive people are. It states clearly over and over again why they cannot be trusted. In the end I learned this more than anything else is why you trust none but God. They will all disappoint you. Jesus advocates against marriage. I have yet to see anyone who can refute this point effectively. Everyone just says Jesus didn't mean that. No one can point to a verse where Jesus contradicts it. Just because someone repents, and you have forgiven then doesn't mean the nature of the relationship hasn't fundamentally changed. And with the fundamental change, you aren't required to reconcile dangerous people to yourself. When someone proves themselves to be unworthy of trust, nowhere in the Bible is reconciliation ever required, let alone restoration. Were she to repent genuinely fine, great. Why would this mean I am required to trust her. Why would this mean I need to take her back, care for her children from another relationship, or accept anything else. Her exact words were "I would rather kill us both, than accept the shame of getting tested for STDs." I can forgive the sentiment. I can forgive the statement, but trust. Nope. Never again. I am not God that I can see the heart. She burned the bridge. There is no return to trusted status. In the same way I would not allow my mother to babysit my children, after years of physical and sexual abuse by her. These women have proven too risky for any trust. It isn't that I don't forgive, It's that wisdom doesn't allow the potential for failure. These women made their choices. I must make mine. Trusting them to have genuinely repented isn't a mistake or chance I am willing to take, literal lives could be at stake. God can afford to make the gamble, because God is omniscient. Perhaps if I obtain omniscience and know the behaviour will not be repeated, perhaps. otherwise there will be no restoration. Reconciliation perhaps, friendship perhaps, but restoration is for God, since He alone can do it without the incredible risk the rest of us must take. So yes I would be more merciful than God if I restored them to a trusted position, specifically because I do so without the past, present, and future knowledge God has. Nice try, but sorry. Your culture and this doctrine is one of death. You've not convinced me otherwise. Feel free to point out where I am wrong. I've checked and studied this. I'll wait.
@@johnborland7865 You ended with this: _"Nice try, but sorry. Your culture and this doctrine is one of death. You've not convinced me otherwise._ _Feel free to point out where I am wrong. I've checked and studied this. I'll wait."_ My intentions are not to convince you, even Jesus does not convince everyone, most end up in hell. I was responding to you mainly in regards to areas of the this video I felt were misrepresented/misunderstood or missed completely, as your response I would assume was to the content in the video. What you do with the information is between you and Jesus; it is the Holy Spirits job to convince and win us over to the truth of the information and news we hear. I do not mind going through things and giving more information to those who are genuinely interested. This channels focus is on leading people back to Jesus regarding the information they hear. I prayerfully go through/take things back to Jesus that people say to me, especially in correction, looking for any truth in what is said to me. So again, I am not trying to convince you. Now, I am going to address two things regarding your last message, the first is on the subject of _Jesus saying marriage is for the weak and the foolish;_ the other is on a part of what you said, which contains a principle that I actually agree with. You said in this last message: _"Matthew 19:10-12 Disciples say it is better to avoid marriage. Jesus then states yes it is better to avoid marriage, but only the strongest can handle being single. Jesus said exactly this, marriage is for the weak."_ But you originally said this statement, which I did not agree with: _"I advise young people against marrying. Marriage is only for the weak and foolish according to Jesus."_ In your last response it does not support saying Jesus said marriage is for the foolish at all, you only presented information on where Jesus spoke about those who are weak. Jesus never said marriage is for the foolish. As for the weak, Jesus never actually said marriage is for the weak (only), which is what you are saying. Also a side note: why would you advise young people to not marry if you have not accessed if they are strong or weak yet, according to your own beliefs, marriage is for the weak, so why are you generally advising not to marry to young people as though all are strong, shouldn't you advise the weak to marry according to what you believe?? Now the second thing on this subject, Matthew 19:10-12 says this: Mat 19:10 His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.” Mat 19:11 But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given. Mat 19:12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.” Jesus never answered _"yes it is better to avoid marriage"_ as you stated. When the disciples said it was not good to marry, because of the strictness of Jesus' rules which corrected the easy, hard hearted divorce laws they were accustomed too, Jesus simply said, "Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given." So based on what Jesus _actually_ said, it is clear Jesus never actually agreed with the statement that _it is better to not marry._ He never actually even implied marriage was for the weak _or strong_ at all; He said *the ability to not marry is a gift* that can be *received.* And He was neutral concerning who marriage was literally made for in Matthew 19:10-12. What Jesus actually said, was that not marrying is not something that everyone receives. He gave examples of those who receive it and said those who are able to receive it let them receive it. That is it. Ironically, it seems your teaching on this is an explanation of what _you_ think He meant, rather than what is clearly stated. Again, Jesus never actually said marriage is for the weak (only), which is what you are saying. Yes the weak do marry, this is true, but not only the weak, and the Bible never says marriage was made for the weak. I know (with first hand witness) of some who received the gift of celibacy, who were not weak as you would say, but overcame lust, masturbation, pornography, and natural carnal desires in self control and learned to live single, celibate and in joy (not in bitterness, pain, depression, etc.). Jesus instructed them to marry because He desired them to have godly offspring. I know one person who Jesus literally had to convince for months, as they were completely happy in being single and celibate. Jesus told him that marriage was a GIFT He wanted to give him, on top of the offspring, which the Bible already calls a gift and reward from God (Psalm 127:3-5, Proverbs 17:6). The only lawful way God has provided to have children (a gift and reward from God) is to be in a covenant marriage, outside of this is punishable though children can still be produced. The point is marriage was made for having a proper environment to have children, a gift of God. satan has lead mankind to mess this up in many ways. So the point is that marriage is also for the purpose of reproduction and the producing of nations, regardless of if one is weak or not. Noah and his three sons are prime examples of this. The Bible calls children the fruit of marriage, a gift and reward from God. So the Bible does not speak against marriage neither does it encourage people to not marry in the way you are. There are times and seasons yes, where it is better to not marry, but that is not a universal law. And again, I am a living witness to more than one person, literally, who would be strong and not weak according to your views, who Jesus instructed to put aside the life of celibacy and take on a wife, it was not because they were weak, but because of reasons also found in the Bible that were blessings, gifts and rewards. Now as for the part I agree with: _"Perhaps if I obtain omniscience and know the behaviour will not be repeated, perhaps. otherwise there will be no restoration. Reconciliation perhaps, friendship perhaps, but restoration is for God, since He alone can do it without the incredible risk the rest of us must take."_ Though you may not believe that this could be a reality for you, I do. And personally I believe this is reasonable especially if you have been severely damaged, even the quotes you mentioned, I would not say that that is an easy thing to just forget. God can give you the understanding that the behaviour wont repeat or whatever it is you ask of Him in reasoning about the subject while working with Him. My point has been from the beginning (which the last portion of the video speak about), is that those who have spouses who have wronged them and left them and so on, should simply remain single as Jesus through Paul taught, and work with Jesus in seeing them restored to Jesus Christ. Anyone who is working with Jesus in seeing their spouse saved (their spouses soul saved), if/when the time for reconciliation comes, I believe God is powerful enough to show that person, even in the way you described above. Also, in that process of waiting, Jesus can heal those wounds. I know of testimonies of people going through this and Jesus doing the miraculous. (Mar 9:23, Php 4:13.) May the Father bless you in Jesus name.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 let me see if I understand your position. God changed the rules. Further the rules changed after God divorced from Israel and Judah. So God had rules in place only as long as he could benefit from said rules. Then up and changes them, since God no longer needs to divorce. We aren’t entitled to set boundaries in our own relationships. And Covenant relationships have no terms. Adultery is perfectly fine. Abuse is fine. And the abuser who murders their spouse is fine to remarry, but the one who forgives the adultery, sets a boundary and walks away from the abuser is an adulterer if they even consider another relationship? Have I missed anything?
@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 where in the new covenant does it say not to kill ?? I'm not agnostic and don't divide the old testament and new testament that way...
I did not say adultery is the exception. Fornication was the exception due to Jewish culture as exemplified by what Joseph was about to do to Mary, and was the exception to the Laws of Moses as Jesus said. When Jesus was asked if it was lawful to divorce for ANY REASON, His answer was basically no, and is the same answer Paul gave (which I demonstrated in the video @11:22), which means this is the New Covenant standard.
@@maunder01 except for fornication (i.e. sexual immorality) is in reference to the laws of Moses (and technically Jewish culture). In Mark 10:2-12 Jesus gave no such exception, but his answer was the same as in Matthew 19:3-6, which was "no", and in Mark He was asked “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”, that was divorce period. The answer is it is not lawful.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 this is your interpretation. It is not that clear and black and white - this is why it is such a contentious issue today. Each situation is different. One should not leave the other and divorce to just marry another - of course this is adultery!!! The exception allows the innocent to be free. Jesus came to set the captives free. Do you not see that your point of view is binding a heavy yoke on the innocent?! The scriptures state that in the last days their would be forbidding to marry - l really am wondering if this wave of doctrine is exactly what was spoke of! If the unbeliever leaves let them leave... Darkness and light can not exist together. All scripture is given to man as they were moved by the Holy Spirit! Paul said the believer was no longer bound. The priests were not to marry a widow or divorced woman... Why was such a thing in place if it was not allowed full stop?!! It was something that the common person did do.
@@maunder01 well if you believe that it is only my interpretation, as in my own understanding or meaning of what the literal words say, then we can both go back to Jesus on it; I am actively doing this because of the amount of challenges I get on this subject, so I welcome you to do the same. You said "this is why it is such a contentious issue today", no, the reason why there is so much issue with this subject is because very few are following Jesus and learning from Him, few are taking challenges back to Him, but defend their situations and manipulate scriptures to suit their feelings. "The exception allows the innocent to be free. Jesus came to set the captives free. Do you not" Jesus explained to me that people are suppose to take their spouse before Him in prayer seeking Him to SAVE them, they are to fight for their marriage on their knees and He would save the spouse they would have been looking to divorce out of anger, hurt and unforgiveness, He would save them, turn them around and restore the marriage. I know of people who actually trusted Jesus to do this, even some whose spouses played the whore for 10 years leaving them behind with the children, Jesus restored them because the faithful innocent spouse prayed for the one who left, the one who hurt them. Jesus does set the captive free, the problem is the hard hearts of the hurt spouse cutting the other off because they hurt them, they do not trust Jesus in setting their unsaved, disobedient, sin bound, corrupt spouses free, so they want a new one.... They do not trust Jesus, so they look for justifications to run from their vows they made and obligations to spiritually support their spouse in the time they need it the most. As for the other situations and this not being black and white, Jesus has power to deal with EVERY situation, Jesus called divorce and remarriage adultery, none of the Apostles taught to put away anyone for any reasons, so this is black and white. People just give into the temptation to divorce and remarry which Jesus called adultery because satan has given them gray excuses, darkness looking like white. They look for a way out, rather than bare their cross with Jesus and see Him glorified in their situation, saving their spouse with Him or glorifying Him in remaining faithful when their spouse is not, just like Jesus does with us as the Scripture says.

@@Gud2B_Blessed Amen!
@@Gud2B_Blessed Be careful who you marry. In all of the Bible, Matthew 19:9 is the most comprehensive single scripture on divorce and remarriage. "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.” Matthew 19:9 NKJV SEVEN (7) FACTS WE LEARN FROM MATTHEW 19:9 THAT ARE VERY CLEAR AND CONCISE: (1) JESUS IS SPEAKING. "And I say unto you..." Jesus wanted to make this fact clear to start, that it is JESUS speaking, to clear up any confusion on the subject. (2) DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE IS ADULTERY (SIN). Generally, it is not allowable. It is clearly a sin, and "the wages of sin is death." (3) ANOTHER FACT YOU NEED TO KNOW: DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE IS ADULTERY (SIN), with only one single solitary EXCEPTION: THE ONLY EXCEPTION given by Jesus Himself, IS IN A CASE OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY ON THE PART OF THE MARRIED WIFE, after she is already married (not before). Jesus said, "HIS WIFE." Period. Not "husband." Not "fiancee." Jesus said, "HIS WIFE." Jesus made a special exception, for one case only, a cheating wife. So, the betrayed husband has an exception, if needed, to divorce and remarry, BECAUSE OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY, if committed by her, only. (4) There is no exception to remarry given in this verse for a betrayed wife to remarry. The only exception mentioned is for the husband, and not for the wife. Why? That is open to speculation, but the fact remains the same: The only exception mentioned is for the husband, and not for the wife. (5) Whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery (sin). IMPORTANT: There is no exception for any man, whatsoever to marry a divorced woman given in this scripture. (6) There is no mention of "betrothal" or "premarital acts of sin" or "engagement," either mentioned or inferred, in Matthew 19:9. The exception given is clearly referring only to a man with A WIFE, not granting mention to a "fiancee," "espoused," or a "betrothed." Premarital sex is not involved with the exception given unto us in Matthew 19:9. (7) Lastly, "...whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery." The man given the exception (and there is clearly one given in the original text) CANNOT MARRY A DIVORCED WOMAN, either. The betrayed husband, if he chooses to divorce and remarry, must marry a single Christian lady, or a widow only, because Jesus Himself said that the betrayed husband cannot marry a divorcee. These are SEVEN (7) FACTS WE LEARN FROM MATTHEW 19:9 THAT ARE VERY CLEAR AND CONCISE regarding divorce and remarriage in the Bible.
Brother you broke this ALLLLL the way down!!! AMEN. I have watched and searched and studied....hundreds of videos.. this one is definitely among my TOP 10. EXCELLLLENT TEACHING. I APPLAUD YOU. 🔥✝️✅🙏💍
Praise Jesus! And thank you, Jesus bless you!
This is the one that pulled out the scripture God reveal to me and I am so glad to hear it preached. God said return to me.
Jesus bless you!
Glad to find your passion on this and preaching the truth. I have helped someone reconcile a marriage after being 21 years divorced. Congratulations on your mother standing for her covenant marriage. I am 12 years a Stander who considers herself married for 38 years. My channel is over 3.5 years old because the Lord told me to start telling people about the permanence of marriage and divorce and remarriage is adultery AND to tell people to get ready for the coming of the Lord Jesus in the rapture. There are a lot of foolish virgins who are looking for the rapture, but they are in adulterous remarriages and will be left behind. There are alot of pastors who are going to be shocked to be left behind for teaching falsely on the covenant of marriage. Divorce +remarriage with living spouse = adultery. I added your video to my playlist that has around 300 videos, and I have talked about this over and over in many of my videos since I am walking this out in life like John the Baptist who was beheaded for the truth. I am very excited that Jesus could come at any moment to take me home, and I am ready to fly up. God bless you.
Sorry for the delay, for some reason your comment was held for review, I just found it.
Wow praise Jesus for keeping you the past 38 years!! Yes divorce and remarriage adultery is killing many people today and many churches and leaders are leading people to commit such adultery many of those same leaders are in this adultery themselves.
Wow 3.5 years that's awesome! About that many years ago I got rid of my old channel, between that time satan attacked me and cause me to loose all my old videos I had stored. Jesus had me make this channel and re-post old content plus new content which He had been teaching me more recently.
Thanks for adding this video to your playlist! And yes, we must be ready because He can come at any moment to gather us.
Jesus bless you.
Am one of the foolish virgins who has been busy waiting for the return of Jesus Christ while in a divorce and remarriage situation. It is with a sorrowful heart that I learnt of divorce and remarriage through a dream that God gave me. He was very clear that I will go to hell because of that. I repented and I want to do the needful as soon as possible.
This is the best breakdown brother!This is very serious!Churches don’t even talk about this and will be ignorantly leading many to not be able to enter the gates of heaven.That is why it’s vital for each of us to search the scriptures for ourselves and study because we will be held accountable.🙏🏽✝️
Thank you, praise Jesus. And amen, very true. Jesus bless you abundantly!!
I'm separated from my wife right now, and have been wrestling with this issue, and have come to the believe that what you are saying is the truth and that is what the Bible says, plain as day. It has been very hard going through this process, a lot of heeling has and is happening for me. I have been praying for my wife, our marriage and our family. I am not going to consent to a divorce.
Amen. Jesus bless you and continue to keep you. Thank you for sharing your testimony.
I'm right there with you. I will not consent either. When I told my wife about how divorce isn't acceptable she mentioned our pastor being on his second wife. Pastors are truly discouraging and leading people astray. Hang in there sir. I learned in this time to learn how to be faithful to God. My focus is on growth at this time.
@@derrickhahn3469 Amen Jesus bless you.
And yes, sadly many pastors today prove this scripture to be true:
Rom 2:22 You who say a man should not commit adultery. Do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
Rom 2:23 You who glory in the law, do you dishonour God by disobeying the law?
Rom 2:24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you,” just as it is written.
I'm in this process too my brother, but let's stay faithful to our Lord and to his Word. All will be fine at the end, Father knows what he's doing.
Thank you for your confirmation. My husband and I got married in our Church and then the courts, I am still married to my husband, even if we are divorced through the courts, but we made a covenant with God in Church. My husband is out in the word and with other women. Please pray for me, I am praying for reconciliation and been standing for more than a year and 1/2. I want so much for Jesus to remarried us again and for my husband to love and serve God with me and my kids. We have 6 kids 4 boys 2 girls and my girls are special need. Please pray for us. Pray for my husband Humberto. Thank you.
Amen will pray for you, Jesus bless you.
I know of testimonies where God restored spouses who left and went into the world, and those marriages were fixed and set of Holy Spirit fire for God. Be encouraged and continue to focus on what good and right Jesus is leading you to do.

@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 Thank you
Oh and another justification I have heard people try to use is "putting away is different from divorce....to put away just means to separate from" LOL....yes people do try to use this to justify it
Amen!! Yes you are right!! I had some one bring that very thing up in the past two weeks. I am going to be doing a follow up video on that lol. And yeah it says Joseph was about to put away Mary when they were engaged.... Mary was not even in his house yet to be put out the house.... so obviously he was planning on divorcing her to cancel the marriage certificate. Also God in Jer 3:1 used the word "put away" when quoting Moses Deu 24:1-4 law, and Moses said divorce.... meaning they are used interchangeably.
Excellent teaching!!! Thank you so much for speaking the truth about this issue. I share a lot on my fb page and the backlash can sometimes be so overwhelming at times because some especially the ones in or attempting a remarriage get really angry at me and sadly even unfriend me 😢🙏🏻💗
Yeah it is sadly a socially violent subject for some.
Awesome best anointed teaching in a while I have listened to on this
Keep following HOLY SPIRIT please and teaching by HIM
Thank you, I will continue to strive in doing so. Jesus Christ bless you.
Hey Beth. This is really a good find for a young person with a new channel. Great that he says that you need to end an adulterous marriage!!!! Very nice that his mother is a Stander, and she didn't listen to the lies from church people and pastors. I don't agree with him on his teaching on the rapture though. The New Covenant is for the church not Israel. The church is not Israel, and the church is all born again believers either Jew or Gentile. Galatians 3:28
There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
The rapture happens and then Israel is saved afterwards as prophesied during Tribulation/Daniel's 70th week and Jacob's Trouble. God bless.
100% amen to this teaching my brother.
Amen Jesus bless you!
Very good! Thank you! Wish everyone believed this! Sadly most don’t!
Amen seriously! Your welcome and Jesus bless you!
Amen. So many are going to be left behind because they think that grace is a license to sin. I have been witnessing since 2007, and the voice of the Lord told me not to divorce my husband even though he had been in long term adultery. The way is narrow and few will find it.
Amen.
People say baptism erases previous relationships and sanctified new ones they don't understand repentance or that baptism washes away sin not covenants otherwise you would have to remarry your current spouse
Yes amen!
We agree and have taken this position and have spoken and taught on it for several years.
Cool, amen.
Great message. I'm in need of prayer. I am currently in the situation. Going to Christ for wisdom and guidance . Thank you
Will pray for you!!
Thanks for speaking on this subject. I've have been divorced since around 21 or 22, my husband left me and not to long afterwards filed for a divorce. I was found by Jesus maybe around 25 years of age. I have never remarried. My husband has been married twice since he divorced me. He was married for over 20 years and his wife left him and she had been previously married. He divorced her and after my mother passed in 2017, we have communicated with each other. I know that he believes in remarriage, we had a brief discussion. I sense that he desires to reconnect with her, and it's been ten years since he divorced her and she's been living with another man who she has not married. I want to be reconcile with him, but I believe he needs to understand God's will on remarriage is adultery and they and their family went to church and he still does, but there's not sound biblical teaching there. 😕 Please 🙏 for me and thank you so much for this video!!!!!
Amen, thank you for your comment! I will pray for you.
Jesus bless and keep you.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 Thank you.
I recall telling someone that they were in adultery and she quoted Paul. I corrected her on what Paul said and she refuted. I asked her something long the lines "Even if Paul said it was okay, you're willing to disobey Jesus the God of your salvation to listen to someone else?" and I don't recall what happened but the argument ended at this point.
Now, talking to a dude, he was divorced and remarried. He married a woman to get her into Canada and then remarried. So far, it sounds like he's in sin. He alo justified his marriage referencing people who come from different religion/backgrounds, i.e. islam
"He married a woman to get her into Canada and then remarried. "
Yeah that is definitely not right.
When people quote Paul, I quote Paul too with Romans 7:1-3. I know someone else who did that to get someone into Canada. My question is did they make vows and have sex? If they just lied (which is also sin) and never considered it a marriage then the proof would be that they never touched each other sexually.
@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways is it relevant whether a vow and sexual intercourse was completed? In my opinion, I don't think so but it is a question that could be asked to Jesus. Here are the reasons I believe it may not really matter if vows and sex is required to bind someone to the marriage rules set by our Heavenly Father and Jesus:
1) There's life and death in the power of the tongue. If we believe this; then already because of the declaration of marriage they are already bound.
2) We have to consider if sealing that declaration with a kiss or any form of physical contact would constitute a seal.
3) We still consider a couple to be married even if they are unbelievers and don't make vows according to the Laws of God.
But going back to my previous reason, they are bound to the marriage rules because they declared in the heavens (earth and Heaven above) that they are married. Only Jesus can correct me and give us all insight on this particular example.
@@mararuth6533 Then let Jesus tell you. But I have known fornicators who get down on their knees and declare they are married when they are not. They know they are fornicating. God will not be mocked.
@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways I think that situation is totally different. They haven't obtained marriage certificates to go with their declaration of marriage. In this case, they are not married, but fornicating. For those who do obtain marriage license/certificate this is definitely a marriage.
like the statement on false prophets as many false teachers have sinned in this way
Amen!
In order to understand the Bible we have to understand the culture and yes divorce and remarriage is adultery:
Notice how YESHUA uses the word “fornication” in Mathew 5:32? Fornication is “outside” the marriage while adultery is “within a marriage”. This ties in with Joseph and Mary in Mathew 1. They were “betrothed” or engaged in the modern world, which means they signed a “ketubah” which is a marriage contract which is as binding as marriage and can only be broken by fornication.
Even though they were betrothed they were still called husband and wife. So when Joseph saw that Mary was pregnant, he thought she committed fornication against him and wanted to divorce her even before they were officially married.
There are two stages in a Hebrew wedding: the first stage is the betrothal, they sign the contract which is binding as marriage but not official. They don’t live together for about a year, then they have the wedding feast for 7 days the marriage is consummated and they live together. After that they are now WEDLOCKED “What YAHWEH has joined together let man not separate.” So YESHUA is saying that you can only get a divorce during the Betrothal (engagement) stage of the marriage and only for reason of fornication. Once you consummate the marriage it is until death do you part.
Beautiful explanation yes fornication versus adultery
I need to study this more
Thank you
"So YESHUA is saying that you can only get a divorce during the Betrothal (engagement) stage of the marriage and only for reason of fornication."
Technically when YESHUA was asked if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife for *any reason,* His answer was "no":
Mat 19:3 Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, *“Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”*
Mat 19:4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
Mat 19:5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’
Mat 19:6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. *What therefore God has joined together, do not let man tear apart.”*
So in the West and much of modern culture, engagement does not equal married. With the Hebrews, engagement equaled married. That is why they had to divorce betrothed parties, under the laws of Moses. We are not under the laws of Moses.
"Fornication" is a translated word not found in the Greek text that is often misconstrued. The NKJV uses "immorality" for the Greek "porneia," which is a better translation. You should never build a doctrine based on one weakly translated word. The exception is for a married man, not an engaged man. In all of the Bible, Matthew 19:9 is the most comprehensive single scripture on divorce and remarriage. "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.” Matthew 19:9 NKJV SEVEN (7) FACTS WE LEARN FROM MATTHEW 19:9 THAT ARE VERY CLEAR AND CONCISE: (1) JESUS IS SPEAKING. "And I say unto you..." Jesus wanted to make this fact clear to start, that it is JESUS speaking, to clear up any confusion on the subject. (2) DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE IS ADULTERY (SIN). Generally, it is not allowable. It is clearly a sin, and "the wages of sin is death." (3) ANOTHER FACT YOU NEED TO KNOW: DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE IS ADULTERY (SIN), with only one single solitary EXCEPTION: THE ONLY EXCEPTION given by Jesus Himself, IS IN A CASE OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY ON THE PART OF THE MARRIED WIFE, after she is already married (not before). Jesus said, "HIS WIFE." Period. Not "husband." Not "fiancee." Jesus said, "HIS WIFE." Jesus made a special exception, for one case only, a cheating wife. So, the betrayed husband has an exception, if needed, to divorce and remarry, BECAUSE OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY, if committed by her, only. (4) There is no exception to remarry given in this verse for a betrayed wife to remarry. The only exception mentioned is for the husband, and not for the wife. Why? That is open to speculation, but the fact remains the same: The only exception mentioned is for the husband, and not for the wife. (5) Whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery (sin). IMPORTANT: There is no exception for any man, whatsoever to marry a divorced woman given in this scripture. (6) There is no mention of "betrothal" or "premarital acts of sin" or "engagement," either mentioned or inferred, in Matthew 19:9. The exception given is clearly referring only to a man with A WIFE, not granting mention to a "fiancee," "espoused," or a "betrothed." Premarital sex is not involved with the exception given unto us in Matthew 19:9. (7) Lastly, "...whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery." The man given the exception (and there is clearly one given in the original text) CANNOT MARRY A DIVORCED WOMAN, either. The betrayed husband, if he chooses to divorce and remarry, must marry a single Christian lady, or a widow only, because Jesus Himself said that the betrayed husband cannot marry a divorcee. These are SEVEN (7) FACTS WE LEARN FROM MATTHEW 19:9 THAT ARE VERY CLEAR AND CONCISE regarding divorce and remarriage in the Bible.
@@BennettJonWayne-xw9vi it won't say "premarital acts of sin" because betrothal is a stage in marriage. A woman in a betrothal is called a wife, and the man is called her husband (Matt 1:19,20). Why doesn't the law for the writ of divorcement apply to a cheating wife? In both cases, where a betrothed woman cheat, and where a consummated woman cheats, it's punishable by death. The husband would be a widower - he can marry again. However, if a woman goes into a betrothal pregnant, there is no law of capital punishment. Deut 24 provides a fix for the betrothed husband. Interesting what you said in point 4. There is no exception ...for a betrayed wife to remarry. But that is what Deut 24 is all about. The woman accused of uncleanness can remarry, and a man can marry her except her husband. There is no o.k. for the husband to remarry. Curious. Why can the woman and the other beau marry? Deut 22:28
@@escalus84 Either you are married, or you are not married. There is no "half married," or partly married. Betrothal is "engaged TO BE MARRIED," but is NOT YET "married." Betrothal is "intent to marry," but the marriage is "not yet consummated," or joined together. Jesus changed the Mosaic Law. Moses himself said that another prophet would come after him, and that we should follow after Him. That prophet is Jesus. You are quoting the law of Moses. Jesus changed the law of Moses, and fulfilled it.
People completely misunderstands Matthew 5&19 He tells them they can divorce for fornication which was answering their question He did not say they could remarry though no where. He say very plain if they do they commit adultery and if anyone marries the one divorced commits adultery you can only commit adultery if you are STILL MARRIED ONE FLESH IN GODS EYES!
Amen, it is true many do misunderstand, and yes when lawfully married one is still one flesh in Gods eyes.
By the way what did you mean by this:
"He tells them they can divorce for fornication which was answering their question He did not say they could remarry though no where."
Because He does say they can remarry if they divorce due to fornication:
Mat 19:9 And I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is put away commits adultery.
This verse in reference to the laws of Moses, clearly illustrates that fornication is the only grounds for divorce where a remarriage is not adultery. The actual issue here today is that many do not understand that Jesus is referring to the laws of Moses, not the New Covenant laws. Jesus answers their question about Moses, then references this law of Moses:
Deu 24:1 When a man has taken a wife and married her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes, because he has found some uncleanness in her, then let him write her a bill of divorce and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Deu 24:2 And when she has departed from his house, she goes and becomes another man's; ...
Jesus covered the same thing as Moses here by subject; the reason for divorce was "uncleanness", which is also used as fornication else were in the OT; then He covers if other men takes her to be a wife, just as Moses covered in his law. Jesus' language was in direct line with the language of Moses law, which He was asked about.
So this was not a New Covenant teaching, Jesus was correcting the Pharisees in their understanding of Moses' law, meaning except for fornication was the only thing lawful according to the written law of Moses concerning divorce and remarriage.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 I was taught exactly as you are teaching this, but someone pointed out that Jesus answered their question,can a man divorce for any reason? He tells them for fornication they can then continues to say if they remarry another commits adultery and whoever married the one out away commits adultery. If it was lawful to remarry because if fornication then how can whoever that marries her commits adultery if she is no longer considered married? Also, in the Law if she was considered unclean on her wedding bed (no blood token on sheets) she would be taken to her parents house and stoned to death because of it wouldn't she have?

I was wondering if you could give me clarification on these scriptures (1 Corinthian 6: 9-11) I heard a minister saying that the Adultery and Fornication were cleanse in verse 11 when Paul told the Corinthians, and such were some of you, but you've been washed, sanctified and justified. 🤔 Thank you.
Sure thing. Please excuse the length, I quoted context with the passages to the scriptures, I was referencing. Now, 1 Cor 6:11 says:
_1Co __6:11__ Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God._
This simply means they repented and no longer do those things, being cleansed by God. That is why he spoke in past tense, they "were" those things. But they had repented and God was faithful in washing them and cleaning them and so on. Remember what John wrote here:
_1Jn 1:7 _*_But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin._*
_1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us._
_1Jn 1:9 _*_If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness._*
_1Jn __1:10__ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us._
Specifically verses 7 and 9. We all have sinned, and when we come into fellowship with Jesus and the Father, we are expected to confess those sins to be washed and now live in the newness of Christ living according to His commandments, as John continued into the next chapter:
_1Jn 2:1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous._
_1Jn 2:2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world._
_1Jn 2:3 _*_This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments._*
_1Jn 2:4 One who says, “I know him,” and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him._
_1Jn 2:5 _*_But whoever keeps his word, God’s love has most certainly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:_*
_1Jn 2:6 _*_he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked._*
When we are cleansed, Jesus takes the sin away, and we are now expected to live in His Word, the Seed, as John also demonstrates here:
_1Jn 3:4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness._
_1Jn 3:5 _*_You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and in him is no sin._*
_1Jn 3:6 _*_Whoever remains in him does not sin._*_ Whoever sins has not seen him and does not know him._
_1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous._
_1Jn 3:8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: to destroy the works of the devil._
_1Jn 3:9 _*_Whoever is born of God does not commit sin, because his seed remains in him;_*_ and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. [Ref Luke 8:11]_
The _cleansing_ is done through the Word of God who transforms us, teaches us and instructs us in the new way to live (John 15:3, Eph 5:25-26). John said it is Jesus' blood that cleanses us (as I quoted earlier); what is interesting is John illustrates that Jesus' blood speaks (1Jn 5:7-8), so does the book of Hebrews (Heb 12:24). So it is His Word, His testimony we are cleansed by. When we are cleansed the result is a new way of doing things.
Does this make sense? Did I answer your question?
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 Thanks so much for the reply. It was just this minster made it like once they had been cleansed, they had a clean slate and were no longer bound by their past sins and can freely marry, even if they were adulterers before they got born again. Maybe I missed understood 😕 thinking once married you are that way for life saved or unsaved even after divorce until the other spouse is dead, but it seems like once I come to Christ my past is forgiven, this includes my failed marriage and the slate is clean and I'm no longer bound by that adulterous state in the past, I am free to marry in the Lord though I had previously been an adulter prior to my salvation that stigma no longer holds. Is this correct? 🤔 Thanks so much for taking the time, but I just wanted to have a right are correct understanding.
@@endtimesuponus789 your welcome, and thank you for elaborating further on what you were asking.
Now you stated:
_"Maybe I missed understood 😕 thinking once married you are that way for life saved or unsaved even after divorce until the other spouse is dead,"_
This is true, once you are in a legitimate marriage (neither you or your spouse have been married before) according to the Bible, in the New Covenant, it is for life; God ends true marriages through physical death, not through divorce, mans piece of paper. Those who divorce and remarry, or marry someone who is divorced are in adultery according to Jesus and Paul (and adultery is sin). Those who repent and leave those adulterous marriages, are repenting of the sin of adultery, just like how one who was cheating (traditionally) on their spouse repents of adultery by ending the other relationship.
With what you said here:
_"but it seems like once I come to Christ my past is forgiven, this includes my failed marriage and the slate is clean and I'm no longer bound by that adulterous state in the past, I am free to marry in the Lord though I had previously been an adulter prior to my salvation that stigma no longer holds. Is this correct?"_
Was your failed marriage an adulterous marriage? Or was your failed marriage a legitimate marriage? Because if you have a "legitimate" marriage in your past, a legitimate marriage is considered holy, there is nothing to be forgiven regarding it; so legitimate marriages are not dissolved once one becomes born again (I cover this around @27:28 in the video). Now if one before they are born again, was in an adulterous marriage (or more) and those marriages end, or they repent, yes even when they are born again, that adultery is gone. But their first legit marriage is still active in the sight of God, it is not gone, which means they remain single or reconcile with their spouse, like Jesus commanded through Paul. If the unbelieving spouse had departed and refuses to reconcile, the believing spouse should be praying for the salvation of their departed spouse, as alluded to by Paul.
When people become born again, yes past sins are washed away, but they are not suppose to continue in the marriages Jesus called adultery and they are not to look for a new spouse to enter an adulterous marriage. They are suppose to be faithful to God's definition of marriage in seeking the salvation of their spouse, and if possible reconcile. Legitimate marriages do not need cleansing as they are holy, present adulterous marriages cannot be cleansed (as in made legal) as they are sin, past adulterous marriages that one is no longer in, one CAN be cleansed from, just like how we can be cleansed from all past sins.
Did this answer your question a little bit better?
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 Thank you for taking such time to bring clarity to my questions 😀 I have a better understanding now. I nor my spouse had been previously married, it was the first time for us both. One last question, we got married before the Justice of Peace, does this has any bearing on the legality of it ? Thank you once again for helping me. There so many voices on this subject and I think most of them that oppose this type of teaching are in a remarriage or wanting too. I myself seek none, I've been by myself every since the Lord Jesus found me several years after my husband left. Though I had relationships after he left, they were never serious enough to want to marry, The truth of the matter is that I ❤️ my husband and I always will, I've been living unmarried for over forty plus year's and I am okay with that. Again I say thank you 😊
@@endtimesuponus789 your welcome!
_"One last question, we got married before the Justice of Peace, does this has any bearing on the legality of it ?"_
The short answer "no". The long answer:
Jesus said this:
_Mat 19:4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,_
_Mat 19:5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’_
_Mat 19:6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, do not let man tear apart.”_
In saying this, not only did He answer the question He was asked by the Pharisees, but He also illustrated that God's design of marriage is based from the beginning with Adam and Eve. This means all that is technically needed for God to acknowledge a marriage, is a free man and a free woman who mutually give the oath of being husband and wife.
Today we have other traditions added to this which is good and some for good reasons especially sinse sin has increased in the world. Traditions such as ceremonies, and rings, and even marriage certificates, witnesses and so on. These are all good, but at the end of the day, what makes a marriage *legal* in God's eyes, is the oath/word spoken between the two who have acknowledge officially that they are husband and wife.
I know of a number of couples who married literally before the LORD with a few witnesses, and they are married. I know a woman and a man who married in their apartment, they exchanged vows and officially married. There was no one else present, they did it before the LORD. They are married. I know others who have done this, and because of sin and satan, the other dipped out on the marriage and said it was not legit because they do not have a piece of paper. The other spouse who was left has been faithful and trusting Jesus. This is why I also say that the the traditions and laws are good especially for accountability and conscience. Myself, I did both, I married before the LORD, then went through the nations to get our marriage certificate. I felt gross going through city hall, they just wanted money to give us a piece of paper. Yet, it is good to follow the traditions and laws of the land, especially for conscience sake and to not let your good be evilly spoken off. But at the end of the day, the definition of marriage in God's sight, is the words/promises spoken officially by an eligible man and woman. Having witnesses and a piece of paper I believe is a great tradition to secure the two because of the sinful world we live in.
Also, on the same subject of legality. Adding ones own vows that go against God's definition of marriage or are sin, to ones marriage vows, are not actually considered in the sight of God when a couple get married. For example, I have heard people marry and in their vows leave room to separate if things do not work out. From what I have heard on this subject, the LORD ignores those words and does not honour them, as He already defined divorce of a first time married couple as illegal. So that couple is still accountable to uphold what being a husband and wife is, according to the definition God has given. Even if one adds divorce and remarriage to their vows, those words do not count, as Jesus called that adultery. It's like saying "we are married, but in our marriage we can see other people", God counts those actions as illegal and can send people to hell.
_"There so many voices on this subject and I think most of them that oppose this type of teaching are in a remarriage or wanting too."_
I found this same thing to be true as well, those who support divorce and remarriage, most of the time are divorced/remarried or desire it to be legal because of their own _selfish ambition,_ which James calls this wisdom demonic (Jam 3:14-15). I have found they are not judging based on what is true or right and how Jesus Himself treats us; they are not judging by Jesus' character and His long suffering for us, even while we have committed adultery against Him with the enemy so many times.
_"The truth of the matter is that I ❤️ my husband and I always will, I've been living unmarried for over forty plus year's and I am okay with that."_
Wow praise Jesus that is awesome, and you are a living testimony. I pray Jesus works everything out for you and your husband, and that your faithfulness is greatly rewarded.
Wow this is the best video i have watched!!!!

I know someone who's remarriage brought on abuse on the children from the previous marriage.
Yeah that could happen.
Very, very good. Thank you.
Amen, you are welcome. Jesus bless you!

Jesus bless you.
I’m currently in my 2nd marriage. Both times I married a divorced woman. That means I don’t have a covenant spouse, right. I and my current spouse have been together for 13 yrs. My wife’s first spouse is still living. What do I do
Hey Mark, I am sorry about your situation, 13 years is a long time. The only thing I can suggest that you do is really seek Jesus about your situation and how to move forward from here. Since it is clear that Jesus said marrying a divorced person is adultery, and that adultery is sin, and we must repent of sin; you are going to have to seek Him on the wisest and best way to handle this situation, as well as any truths you may be missing (I will explain what I mean by this close to the end answering your first question).
The reason why I suggest seeking Jesus first, before doing anything, and before listening to human advice, and not to just rush and cut things off, just because you watched my video (or anyone else's), is for the following reasons:
1) My videos are to direct people in seeking Jesus Christ for guidance in how to handle their situations and come out of sin.
2) Jesus is the only one who knows the best way for you to come out of this sin with minimal damage, since this particular category of sin is a sensitive subject that many do not even realize, or understand to be sin, and this does involve other human lives and not just your own.
3) On the heels of number two, you do not want to move to hasty and do things in a way that causes extra damage you will have to deal with later; or cause damage for others to deal with, when you can seek Jesus for the best way now and follow His leading to avoid as much damage as possible.
4) Often times if we do not really seek Jesus for guidance and for more grace about our situations, even after dropping it and fleeing from the sin, it is very easy to get seduced into going back again, if we do not have a solid foundation that is built on what Jesus has been showing and teaching us about the truth.
5) Jesus is the only one who can reveal truths that may be missing, or information that makes things clear, shine light on situations that may look one way, but are actually another. I will cover this in the end where I answer your first question.
So with watching this video, or any other videos, or anyone else that speaks about the truth regarding the sin of divorce and remarriage, the most appropriate response to the conviction, is returning to Jesus in repentance seeking Him for truth and Grace (instruction and power to walk in the right path). From there, do as He leads you.
You asked:
_“I’m currently in my 2nd marriage. Both times I married a divorced woman. That means I don’t have a covenant spouse, right.”_
Based on the words you have spoken here it seems that way. It sounds as though your marriages have all been adultery (thus so far I have been speaking that way in response to you), but I do not know the depths of how this all personally works for you. I do not wish to discourage you or make things complicated for you, but I have to be transparent and honest with how complicated this _could_ be. It may not be a simple “yes” to your question. I do not know if your previous spouses were in adulterous marriages before you, and if their spouses were also in adultery before them, if you do know for sure, then great! Knowing this can make things a lot easier, other wise it can be complicated.
For example: if your first spouse was married before, but the man they were married too was married to someone else before marrying them, then this means that marriage your first spouse had before you, would have been invalid. Which, if this was the case could have made your first marriage valid. And this is just _one_ example with your first spouse. If you do not know or you are unsure of all the history, it is not as easy to simply say, you do or do not have a covenant spouse right now. So I am very cautious with answering these types of questions. This is why I say you really are going to have to seek Jesus for the truth, be patient, let Him guide you into all truth as He promised the Holy Spirit would do. You are really going to have to seek Jesus about the full truth about this web of marriages to be fully sure of where you currently sit and the direction you should take and *how.* Where it sits now, if everything you said is as plain as you made it, it is clear you and your current spouse will have to repent of adultery and you should be free to marry. But Jesus will have to make that clear, Jesus has power to clear all this up and make your paths straight.
Does this make sense to you at all?
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 I understand plus my current wife has been faithful but I wasn’t plus she knows I have been with men and women. I have repented but now she is going to be confused if I tell her we have to divorce
@@markdumas4587 yes, I understand, and this is why I suggest seeking Jesus, and following Him in how to walk in the right direction. At the end of the day it is not only about Jesus saving you, but also your current wife.
Will be praying for you all.
I want add also my wife has Parkinson’s and unable to work and I don’t how I would take care of her while living separate
I’m praying my wife gets the same conviction
Can you discuss the tenses spoke. People try saying it's a one time act
What do you mean by the tense spoke?
And do you mean that divorce or adultery is a one-time act?
Divorce is a one-time physical act, while being also a consistent mindset (in the heart); and adultery is just as consistent as fornication is consistent; it stops when the illegal relationship ends; and again it can also be a consistent mindset (in the heart).
I think it’s because many of us haven’t seen it heard of any marriages that were successfully recovered from abuse and chronic cheating. And usually when it does stop, the innocent praying spouse has already suffered 20-40 years of the abuse.
Which is no way to live. I do understand. But I understand also, that Law is law.
It is true, it is rare to find such testimonies and will be even harder as the world continues to grow darker and darker. But apart from Law being law, praise God that Grace is also Grace; what I mean by this is, Jesus teaches us and leads us in how we are to go, and can heal those wounds and make the burden light. Because you are right, living with such abuse and living with aftermath of such abuse is no way to live at all, thus Jesus is able to fix what is broken and heal what is wounded.
I have two different friends that have been in other marriages, but they have been reconciled to their first husband.
Any practical ideas on how to speak this and live this to my ex-spouse and kids who believe she is justified in her new relationship because i committed adultery? I am repentant of this and try to remain humble and understand only time rebuilds trust.
Nevermind i didn't listen all the way. Beautiful stuff man!
@@klooster97 Amen, Jesus bless you!!
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Please remember that when interpreting scripture that we must do so with historical context and the Spirit behind what Jesus was saying. The Pharisees were tempting Jesus when they asked about marriage. Also, during John the Baptist beheading, Herod married his brothers wife, which made it unlawful. God HATES divorce and from the beginning he did not want it, just like sin in general. But, this is one area where he allowed Moses to make it allowed, because of man...but he Still hates it. That's why we should avoid it at all cost and be equally yoked with no sex before marriage. But this rarely happens. But Jesus clearly states that he did not come to destroy the law or the prophets.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Matthew 5:17-22, 27-32 KJV
bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.17-32.KJV..........do you see how Jesus stated the commandment then went on to hyperbolic the sin next for EACH sin. How many of us are plucking out an eye or cutting off a hand. I dont think he meant it literally, but we get the point! Just like when He talks about divorce he mentions the decree, but then goes on to state what he Really intended for us fron the beginning, although it is still allowed. So we should strive not to get divorced in the first place to please Him! In the book of Deuteronomy the man could put away his wife for what he felt was uncleanness and she could remarry, but not return back to him if she did remarry someone else and they then divorced. Please consider re reading these scriptures and asking God for real revelation of what is being said so that we are not spreading dogma even with good intentions! Be Blessed!
"How many of us are plucking out an eye or cutting off a hand. I dont think he meant it literally, but we get the point!"
Jesus was being literal. When i was getting ready to chop some body parts off, I asked Him about it. He told me that His words were literal, but chopping those parts off would not help me. He said He spoke those words literally, but in wisdom, the wisdom was tat our physical bodies are never the reason why we stumble, our heart is the reason and external physical things that hook our heart. Our heart (mind) controls the body. He said that his words were literal to express the richness of how serious this is, but yet His words were wise in the fact that our bodies are never the reason why we stumble. Many people do not actually get the point, they still have not circumcised their minds, it is evident because they are still falling into the same sins. They have not gotten the point because they have not deleted the phone numbers, got rid of the picture and the other physical things, if it did cause them to cut their hand off, they would not believe and in fear not do it, they cannot even get rid of their external addictions.
As for this:
"In the book of Deuteronomy the man could put away his wife for what he felt was uncleanness and she could remarry, but not return back to him if she did remarry someone else and they then divorced. Please consider re reading these scriptures and asking God for real revelation of what is being said so that we are not spreading dogma even with good intentions! Be Blessed!"
I agree, people should really take back to Jesus the things I said in this video, as well as examine the scriptures, seeking Jesus for the truth. Are you trying to imply it is okay to divorce and remarry (which Jesus called adultery) and not return to ones original covenant spouse like (Paul said to do or remain single, if one divorces/separates) because of the Laws of Moses?
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 Yes, I agree! Jesus was speaking in Wisdom! Which is my whole point. Jesus stated in Matthew that He came to not destroy the law or the prophets, but to fulfill. Then went on to state what he intended from the beginning, which is no divorce period! But, He did allow it under the law of Moses only because of man. But He still hates it! That's why I say that God wants us to understand what he wants and not take it lightly at all. Be equally yoked. No sex before marriage and no Divorce. My point is God doesn't want it. But he allowed it.
@@unityforchrist3821 Yeah amen, He allow it and now ended it and has called us to honour our vows, trust Him to reconcile or at the very least to save the unbeliever who departs.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 where did he end it?
@@unityforchrist3821
This video explains all of this already, but I will elaborate here again.
~To establish a background foundation~
The ultimate (i.e. final) commandment Moses left with Israel concerning their future progression in the instruction of God, was that they are to listen to the words of the Prophet God was to rise up who would be like Moses:
Deu 18:15 HE WHO IS your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
Deu 18:16 This is according to all that you desired of HE WHO IS your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again HE WHO IS my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.”
Deu 18:17 HE WHO IS said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.
Deu 18:18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
Deu 18:19 It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
Jesus as we know, is that Prophet that Moses spoke of (John 12:49-50). Jesus came and fulfilled the Old Law, yes, and now He has established a New Covenant which has replaced the old, where He now is the new Moses who we are to listen too, who is under a completely different priesthood; as it is written, with a new priesthood, there must also be a change in the Law. So this means the New Covenant can and does have a change in the Law, so this means Jesus in fact can and did establish this New Covenant with Laws that are different than the Laws of Moses; Hebrews says it best (Caps are to make my words distinct from the scripture):
Heb 7:11 If truly then, perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.

Wow praise Jesus!! May He save your wife and restore your actual covenant marriage. He is able.
Scripture clearly teaches: anyone who divorces and remarries while their covenant (original) spouse is still living (with the exception of fornication) is an adulterer or adulteress (Matthew 5:31-32, Matthew 19:3-9, Mark 10:2-12, Luke 16:18, Roman's 7:2-3, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 1 Corinthians 7:10-15, 1 Corinthians 7:39).
In addition, scripture clearly teaches in order to receive God's mercy one must repent or they will perish (Luke 13:3). According to Proverbs 28:13, repentance has two elements confessing AND forsaking our sins: "People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess AND turn from them, they will receive mercy."
Remaining in an adulterous remarriage is not repentance.
The liar has to repent and stop lying; the thief has to repent and stop stealing; the homosexual has to repent and stop committing homosexual acts; and the remarried adulterer and adulteress has to repent and stop committing adultery.
Sharing the scriptural truth regarding divorce and remarriage infuriates those who are supposed to be followers of Christ. The words of Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul anger his alleged followers like no other topic. Perhaps it's time to obey Jesus and to begin believing He means exactly what He says.
Most importantly, ALL sins are unforgivable without genuine repentance...including remaining in adulterous remarriage. According to the clear, easy-to-understand words of scripture, Jesus most definitely sends unrepentant adulterers and adulteresses to the lake of fire. It's time to confess and forsake adulterous remarriage.
Hey Randal, thanks for commenting and encouraging people to repent :)
I do have a question for you regarding what you stated here:
_"Scripture clearly teaches: anyone who divorces and remarries while their covenant (original) spouse is still living (with the exception of fornication) is an adulterer or adulteress"_
Regarding the "with the exception of fornication", I was wondering what did you get from the part of the video (@10:57 to 22:18) which explained the "exception of fornication" as well as referencing Matthew 19:3-9, Mark 10:2-12, Luke 16:18, 1 Corinthians 7:10-16, 1 Corinthians 7:39 (by extension Roman's 7:2-3), showing that today there is no exception?

oh my....what to do....seek Jesus.....why do that when the Bible calls the marriage...adultery....and where, in the Bible does it justify living in this sin....
"Seek Jesus" in how He wants you to handle to come out of it; everyone has different situations and issues they may have to deal with in coming out of the adulterous marriage. The answer to overcoming sin, is obeying Jesus, so it makes sense to pray and ask Him about it and do what He says in overcoming.
"and where, in the Bible does it justify living in this sin...."
It does not, neither do I.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 so if one is divorced and remarried....what course of action.....to separate, or remain....
@@philipbuckley759 if one is in deed in a divorce and remarriage adultery situation, they should seek Jesus for counsel in how to handle the situation in repentance. Jesus will guide them in how to handle it especially wisdom concerning children and so on.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 really would one, in a homosexual relationship.....seek the Lord, to determine what course of action would be required......
@@philipbuckley759 Yes they would. See, what I mean by this, is that they should seek Jesus in how to escape the situation/spirits the most effective way. The reason why it makes sense to seek Jesus on this, is because many run and never actually get delivered from the spirit and then end up going back to the situations, even in different ways. We can do nothing of ourselves (Joh 15:4-5), we should be following Jesus even in HOW to repent and leave ungodly situations. This is important especially when it comes to relationships, because children can also make matters more complicated, it is not just one or two lives being effected, but with children it can be multiple. One should be seeking Jesus for wisdom on how to handles all of this. Jesus is the master at cleaning our messes and leading us into the right way.
My ex husband didn’t want to make it work and wanted an out. I gave it to him. We were both unhappy and God knew he wasn’t the one. I’m ok staying single until I meet Jesus. ❤
Wow, sorry to here this.
May Jesus bless and keep you.
how do you validate the adultery is on going and not....an act.....and even if it were.....would one be able to change an illegal marriage, into a legal one.....
Adultery is an on going act because the relationship is a sin. If you are married and have another woman, that relationship is called adultery. Jesus called divorce and remarriage the same thing.
Jesus will lead each in their own situation. God bless
what is the purpose, of the Bible.....no one has to have Jesus guide....Jesus has already said, what the exception is.....
@@philipbuckley759 you state for fornication of your understanding it was in the betrothal period. However, God divorced Israel in marriage. A man had sex first with his wife before he knew she had committed fornication so he divorced her. He was still married!
The man divorced his wife in Deut 24 she could remarry.
The covenant is fractured in marriage if one has sex with another other then their spouse. The 2 have become one flesh with another. This is grounds for divorce.
Fornication is SEXUAL IMMORALITY. If you look at the law it was bestality, incest, adultery etc
The person who is deserted by the unbeliever is no longer bound to that marriage - give all the interpretation of the words you want. All scripture is given as men were moved by the Holy Spirit. Paul gave this by the same spirit Jesus gave his words.
Jesus came to set the captives free, not to condemn... Yet so many feel they can condemn and chain people to a marriage that has ended in divorce and tell them they have to go back to their first marriage or remain single. Where did Jesus say that?!!! No where in scripture was one told to do that!! It was forbidden actually in Deut 24.
The Holy Spirit moves us all today. Not all around the world have the scriptures - however, they trust in the LORD to guide them. Prayer by prayer, moment by moment.
Not everyone interprets scripture the same... Thus the reason for so many denominations.
Many are in anguish as a result of unwanted divorce, no choice of their own. Many flee for their lives. Not every situation is the same... God is faithful and leads each one.
Have a good day. May God bless you on the race.
Philip Buckley. First if fornication has the same meaning as adultery as you say it does, which it does not. Then why did God list fornicators and adulterers in 1 cor 6. So you saying God listed the same thing twice. I don't think God would make that mistake. He listed them both because there different.
God bless and may u find the truth.
@@philipbuckley759 Where in the Bible does it say the Bible is the guide and no one needs Jesus to guide?
The Bible says that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, who speaks what He hears from Jesus to guides us (Joh 16:12-15); the Bible does not say Jesus sent the Bible to guide us.
You are in error.
@@festuscox amen! Jesus listed them as two different sins too:
Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Mar 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
John piper and voddie bauchman say they teach permance but at the end they add that you should stay in adulterous remarriage. It's almost crazy to watch they preach permance except for remarriage
Yeah amen, it is crazy to believe you can stay in an adulterous relationship and say you repented of adultery. That is like staying in a fornication relationship and saying you repented fornication.
I think the reason why people teach to stay in the adulterous marriage, is because they see divorce as a sin in every instance. They think divorcing the adulterous partner is a sin, and that one would be repeating the sin of divorce if they separate from adulterous partner as well. So, they say "stay with the adulterous party". It is clear that people who teach this, do not understand that this adulterous marriage is the sin of adultery, and one cannot stay in this. They must leave the adulterous partner; part of that is divorcing them through man's system, because it was man who put them together anyway, not God. This divorce would not be a sin. The first divorce which tore apart what God put together was the sinful divorce, divorcing from an adulterous marriage is actually repentance if being done to come out of the adultery.
How about for those whose second marriage worked and never divorced again?
Greetings. According to what Jesus said in the Bible, if two people who were never married to anyone before get married, they are married in God's eyes. If they divorce and remarry to other people, that second marriage is actually adultery.
So according to Jesus in the Bible, anyone in a second marriage is actually committing adultery.
Jesus answered the Pharisees very clearly and said it was not lawful to divorce for _any_ reason. I am not sure if you watched the whole video, but it really does cover this explicitly and extensively.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 thank you for your response, my question was alluding to a statement that you made in the video inferring that usually people who divorce and remarry go through more divorces. My question thus, if they happened to be in their second marriage and it works , would that be a sign that God is ok with it and that is why things seem to work. I am by no means trying to challenge you as you really explained these things that only spiritually minded personalities can understand. I am in this situation myself and hungry for more understanding as to not succumb to the flesh, world,emotion, any clarity will be appreciated. I tend to believe that God is against remarriage but sometimes yield to the flesh when I see that my ex-spouse has moved on and seem to live the life. God bless you.
@@thechosenone1727 Greeting again, thanks for your comments and being civil, I really appreciate it. I understand where you are coming from and your question does makes sense; I can totally see how such a thought process seems like it makes sense on surface value. However, regarding your question:
_"My question thus, if they happened to be in their second marriage and it works , would that be a sign that God is ok with it and that is why things seem to work. "_
Just because something works out does not mean it is lawful or God is pleased. Simply change the type of relationship in this discussion, take fore example fornication instead. Fornication is wrong, but what if the relationship is amazing? Does that mean God is okay with it and we should continue in it? No. So like wise with adultery, as Jesus called divorce and remarriage adultery. Jesus also taught me that satan, works hard on destroying true marriages, and satan gives temporary demonic "blessings" to adulterous (and fornication) relationships to keep people in them. So we cannot go based off of what feels good or even signs. We must go based off of what Jesus has said in the Bible and is saying now in our lives. What He says now will not conflict with what He has said already in the Bible.
_I am in this situation myself and hungry for more understanding as to not succumb to the flesh, world,emotion, any clarity will be appreciated._
My best advice to you is to continue to pray and ask Him for the truth, suspending all old beliefs and especially the beliefs you may like. Just simply want the truth and power to live in it. We live in the last days and very hard times. The scripture speaks of those who do not have love for the truth, and errors they are given to believe the lie. So if we love the truth, we will sacrifice to be sure to receive it and then live in it.
By the way, if in seeking you receive contrary to what I have said in this video and in these comments, with truthful wisdom to back it up, by all means let me know. I am always open to learn new things, cause I could be missing something. But so far, what I shared in the video, is what I have learned and seen very vividly in the scriptures.
Jesus bless you abundantly.
@@thechosenone1727 Also what you said here: _"I see that my ex-spouse has moved on and seem to live the life."_
Jesus can do the impossible. But if she is truly your covenant spouse, it would be good to pray for her salvation since she is in adultery. If you have the heart to pray for reconciliation that is also good, I know of people who Jesus has restored even after 10 years. But praying for her salvation and her to come to truth and Jesus would be a higher priority.
Again just some brotherly advice.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 thank you so much, however in all honesty, I have always believed in Jesus condemning divorce and remarriage. I was raised in a Christian family and was taught so. However, when divorce happens especially against one's will, one begins to look for grounds that would accommodate their situation ( especially when living in a society that based itself on what is fair or not) I have found several interpretation on this topic, but always find myself leaning on remarriage being adultery.

What about what Paul said.
Can you elaborate on what you are talking about please.

If God does not accept/recognise remarriage after divorce, then why did Jesus say to the Samaritan woman in John 4 vs 18 that she has had five 'husbands'?
Why did God use the term 'husband' for the five men that the Samaritan woman had previously married?
Isn't the term 'husband' only specifically used to describe a man in a marriage that is recognised/accepted?
Joh 4:16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Joh 4:17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
Joh 4:18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
Joh 4:19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
In reading this passage I ask:
Where does it say this woman divorced and remarried 5 times?
Yes it does say, the woman said "I have *no* husband", Jesus said that she spoke the truth about this saying "You said well, ‘I have no husband". But this simply means this woman was not married, but had five husbands before, and who she was with now was not her husband (she was not married). It also does not say if these past husbands were divorces or deaths. And even if the past marriages ended in divorces, this woman was under the _Old Covenant_ where it was lawful to divorce (which is a point I validated in the beginning of my video). This woman was not being held to the standard of the New Covenant, as we are today; at that point in time, Jesus had not died, resurrected, sent the Apostles to teach the New Covenant (Matthew 28:19-20) and had not yet given the Holy Spirit (who is also the law giver of the New Covenant).
So yes the woman was married five times before, and the term husband was used truthfully, but to say the woman was divorced and remarried is not in the scripture, this is an assumption, and again even if the assumption is true, she was under the law that allowed divorce and remarriage, a law we are not under today.

@@RyanREAX lol you did not tell me why I should use the KJV. I was curious to know your reason.
As for the rest of what you said:
(1) The CFS is actually based on the World English Bible (WEB) translation, but has a lot of modifications to it making it more accurate than the WEB (such as changing the word "ship" to "ark" and things like these), as well as corrections (in some areas the WEB was missing spaces between periods and the first word of a sentence).
(2) The study notes are simply notes which are clearly separated from the Scriptures so people can differentiate what is the Holy Writings and what is not, study notes are no different than people preaching or exhorting except just in writing, so if you have a problem with study notes the you have a problem with people talking about the Bible as well.
(3) Lastly where does the Bible say that the use of the Book of Enoch is adding to the Word of God?? I can show you where the Bible clearly endorses Enoch calling his writing prophecy, and show you verses in Enoch that are in harmony with the Bible, and verses that bares truthful testimony of Jesus Christ. As you should know the testimony of Jesus Christ is what the Bible, which you call the Word of God, says is the spirit of prophecy.
(4) As for the trinity, the study notes do not support the trinity neither do they oneness that oneness Pentecostals teach. Those study notes barely say anything about the arguments concerning the Godhead.
im in this situation right now pray for me
I will, Jesus bless you.
The only prayers that can effectively be lifted up for you is to ask God to give you the strength, dedication, and courage to obey God and His will regarding this issue of adultery.

How is the man gonna put the woman out of his house if its the betrothal stage in Dueteronomy
Greetings. Are you speaking about Deuteronomy 24:1? If so, I do not see anywhere in the context indicating that this is the betrothal or espousal stage:
Deu 24:1 When a man takes a wife and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favour in his eyes, because he has found some uncovering in her, that he shall write her a certificate of divorce, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
It simply says: "takes a wife and marries her", which means at this point she should be in his house. Also, that uncleanness/uncovering that is found, is sexual immorality, meaning that this context is speaking about after they have married, based on the tokens of virginity (Cross reference with Deu 22:13-21).
If you are not speaking about Deuteronomy 24:1, can you show me what it is you are speaking about. Thanks.
-Jesus bless you.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 So if they are already married and she committed sexual immorality wouldn't that be death and not divorce
I wish I could talk to u coz I really need some advice
@@simonegraham1781 You asked, "So if they are already married and she committed sexual immorality wouldn't that be death and not divorce"
It could easily be death, but based on the laws of divorce, if found out privately the husband had the option to divorce instead. It is no different than what happened with Joseph and Mary:
Mat 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
Mat 1:19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
By law, if Mary had not actually been a virgin, and was with child through being with a man, she should have been put to death according to Deu 22:23-24:
Deu 22:23 If there is a young lady who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her;
Deu 22:24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the lady, because she did not cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbour’s wife. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
But Joseph was instead going to utilize the law of divorce and not make a public example out of her. Thankfully the Angel of the Lord made things clear to Joseph.

Matthew 19:9
“And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.”
Amen, and before giving this answer to the Pharisees trap question about the laws of Moses, the Pharisees asked Him in general about divorce and if it is lawful for ANY reason, He basically said no:
Mat 19:3 Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
Mat 19:4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
Mat 19:5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’
Mat 19:6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, do not let man tear apart.”
After He answered them essentially saying: 'no it is not lawful for any reason', they tried to trap Him with the question about Moses, who did allow divorce. The beauty of what Jesus answer them (which you quoted), is that He referenced the laws of Moses since He was being asked about Moses, and He basically again said outside of this:
Deu 24:1 When a man takes a wife and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favour in his eyes, because he has found some uncovering [H6172] in her, that he shall write her a certificate of divorce, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
He calls divorce and remarriage adultery, concerning what Moses wrote, which again is what He was being asked about. Also, uncovering, or nakedness (H6172), is also used as sexual immorality in the Bible here: Lev_18:6-20; Eze_16:36, Eze_22:10-11, Eze_23:18.
So Jesus' first answer to the first question: "is it law full to divorce for any reason", is the New Covenant law, this is what we go by today; there are no grounds. They then asked about the laws of Moses, because Moses allowed divorce, which was contrary to what Jesus had just said; again they were trying to trap Him. When asked about Moses, His answer this time pointed back to the reason Moses gave, which was not for any reason, but "except for fornication" as we see in Deu 24:1. Again He was answering a question about the Laws of Moses here, which He was asked about. He answered referencing the laws of Moses. And we are not under Moses law anymore. Now, there are no grounds, like how Moses had ground for uncovering, or whoredom, we have no grounds at all for it to be lawful.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 Sex indeed will land many to the lake of fire. On a lighter note I want to share this with you.
I was sitting on my friends covered porch alone smoking cigars on a hot Texas day. Right by me a storm blew in. Thunder crashed as rain fell. I cheered it on then it all stopped and I said aloud "Thank you Father" and HE responded "I thought you'd like that". After I heard HIS voice I immediately remembered hearing HIS voice as a kid to some outdoor mall. HE knew I'd like it but said "I thought". HE was humble to me and HE whispered to me. I've head The Son's voice too. When THEY speak to you, you automatically know who it is. Jesus spoke into my right ear, the one with no ear drum and clear as a bell. Here is what Jesus said to me "You're on the right path" and "Because I love you". I don't know why THEY notice me but THEY do. THEY are so very kind.
Hosea was an example
Amen.
The word used is not bound, but bondage... we cannot get them.
What do you mean?
@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 we can't get them mixed.up in English
Since when does God not acknowledge divorce. He states he is divorced in Jeremiah? So clearly he permitted divorce as something not sin. Because God cannot sin. That said I am always curious why people teach marriage cannot be created through terms you set. So you cannot set adultery as a break in the terms, necessitating an end to the marriage. I set such a term. I would never have married wihtout it Now that said you could I suppose argue I was never therefore married, if I am not permitted to set the terms in my own covenant, then I agree marriage isn't worthwhile. Because if someone isn't choosing to be faithful they aren't worth remaining in a trusted relationship with at all. It isn't you don't forgive. You forgive, but you can't allow them to come back and restore trust, certainly while they are unwilling to accept the boundaries. So then the alternative is what God required for the unfaithful in a covenant, death. Then your point is Jesus is saying yes, put them to death for adultery, so the non-covenant breaker is free to remarry.
In this case I am more merciful than Jesus according to you. Because I forgave her the marriage, and gave her a wedding gift and wished her a successful marriage in her new marriage. God blessed her new relationship with children, so apparently God agrees with my interpretation, not yours. I'm not interested in working out a trusting relationship with someone who was never interested in being in a trusted position with me. I will never choose to take her back, but neither do I condemn her to Hell. But I will never remarry, because I will never allow myself to trust anyone who could use me this way ever again. Humans are too sinful to engage in trusted relationships. Humans must be forgiven, but I now understand they are treacherous, vile, and worthless to engage with, so I don't see others worthy of marrying. I advise young people against marrying. Marriage is only for the weak and foolish according to Jesus.
Hey John,
I am not sure how much of the video you watched. But the first thing you said:
_"Since when does God not acknowledge divorce. He states he is divorced in Jeremiah? So clearly he permitted divorce as something not sin."_
I explicitly covered this in the video (@37:54).
To further answer your question, if you watched the very first maybe 10-15 minutes of the video, I explain that the acceptance of divorce by God was in the Old Covenant, the Laws of Moses. Now we are in the New Covenant where Moses said to obey the prophet to come who will be like him. That one is Jesus Christ. Later in the video I explicitly explain what Jesus taught about divorce and that in this covenant, He expects us to trust in Him to work things out.
_"That said I am always curious why people teach marriage cannot be created through terms you set."_
It is explicitly clear that marriage is based on the terms GOD has set, because it is Him who joins those who commit to the marriage:
Mat 19:3 Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
Mat 19:4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
Mat 19:5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’
Mat 19:6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, do not let man tear apart.”
This makes it pretty clear, GOD is the one who sets the condition. When asked if it is lawful for a man to divorce for any reason. Jesus' immediate answer was basically _no._
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 Matthew 19:10-12 Disciples say it is better to avoid marriage. Jesus then states yes it is better to avoid marriage, but only the strongest can handle being single. Jesus said exactly this, marriage is for the weak.
Further if humans were not so vile, sinful, and worthless Jesus would not have needed to die for all of them, but they are. Don't misunderstand, I am on no pedestal. When I say all people, I include myself in that number. I too am incapable of love as God requires, in my case, because I never learned it, but no human is capable of it, for whatever reason. I've asked, and the answer is always the same, no I don't meet the biblical standard. Over and over again from Genesis all the way to Revelation the Bible points out how dangerous and destructive people are. It states clearly over and over again why they cannot be trusted. In the end I learned this more than anything else is why you trust none but God. They will all disappoint you. Jesus advocates against marriage. I have yet to see anyone who can refute this point effectively. Everyone just says Jesus didn't mean that. No one can point to a verse where Jesus contradicts it.
Just because someone repents, and you have forgiven then doesn't mean the nature of the relationship hasn't fundamentally changed. And with the fundamental change, you aren't required to reconcile dangerous people to yourself. When someone proves themselves to be unworthy of trust, nowhere in the Bible is reconciliation ever required, let alone restoration. Were she to repent genuinely fine, great. Why would this mean I am required to trust her. Why would this mean I need to take her back, care for her children from another relationship, or accept anything else. Her exact words were "I would rather kill us both, than accept the shame of getting tested for STDs." I can forgive the sentiment. I can forgive the statement, but trust. Nope. Never again. I am not God that I can see the heart. She burned the bridge. There is no return to trusted status. In the same way I would not allow my mother to babysit my children, after years of physical and sexual abuse by her. These women have proven too risky for any trust. It isn't that I don't forgive, It's that wisdom doesn't allow the potential for failure. These women made their choices. I must make mine. Trusting them to have genuinely repented isn't a mistake or chance I am willing to take, literal lives could be at stake.
God can afford to make the gamble, because God is omniscient. Perhaps if I obtain omniscience and know the behaviour will not be repeated, perhaps. otherwise there will be no restoration. Reconciliation perhaps, friendship perhaps, but restoration is for God, since He alone can do it without the incredible risk the rest of us must take. So yes I would be more merciful than God if I restored them to a trusted position, specifically because I do so without the past, present, and future knowledge God has. Nice try, but sorry. Your culture and this doctrine is one of death. You've not convinced me otherwise.
Feel free to point out where I am wrong. I've checked and studied this. I'll wait.
@@johnborland7865 You ended with this:
_"Nice try, but sorry. Your culture and this doctrine is one of death. You've not convinced me otherwise._
_Feel free to point out where I am wrong. I've checked and studied this. I'll wait."_
My intentions are not to convince you, even Jesus does not convince everyone, most end up in hell. I was responding to you mainly in regards to areas of the this video I felt were misrepresented/misunderstood or missed completely, as your response I would assume was to the content in the video. What you do with the information is between you and Jesus; it is the Holy Spirits job to convince and win us over to the truth of the information and news we hear. I do not mind going through things and giving more information to those who are genuinely interested. This channels focus is on leading people back to Jesus regarding the information they hear. I prayerfully go through/take things back to Jesus that people say to me, especially in correction, looking for any truth in what is said to me. So again, I am not trying to convince you.
Now, I am going to address two things regarding your last message, the first is on the subject of _Jesus saying marriage is for the weak and the foolish;_ the other is on a part of what you said, which contains a principle that I actually agree with.
You said in this last message:
_"Matthew 19:10-12 Disciples say it is better to avoid marriage. Jesus then states yes it is better to avoid marriage, but only the strongest can handle being single. Jesus said exactly this, marriage is for the weak."_
But you originally said this statement, which I did not agree with:
_"I advise young people against marrying. Marriage is only for the weak and foolish according to Jesus."_
In your last response it does not support saying Jesus said marriage is for the foolish at all, you only presented information on where Jesus spoke about those who are weak. Jesus never said marriage is for the foolish. As for the weak, Jesus never actually said marriage is for the weak (only), which is what you are saying. Also a side note: why would you advise young people to not marry if you have not accessed if they are strong or weak yet, according to your own beliefs, marriage is for the weak, so why are you generally advising not to marry to young people as though all are strong, shouldn't you advise the weak to marry according to what you believe??
Now the second thing on this subject, Matthew 19:10-12 says this:
Mat 19:10 His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
Mat 19:11 But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
Mat 19:12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
Jesus never answered _"yes it is better to avoid marriage"_ as you stated. When the disciples said it was not good to marry, because of the strictness of Jesus' rules which corrected the easy, hard hearted divorce laws they were accustomed too, Jesus simply said, "Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given." So based on what Jesus _actually_ said, it is clear Jesus never actually agreed with the statement that _it is better to not marry._ He never actually even implied marriage was for the weak _or strong_ at all; He said *the ability to not marry is a gift* that can be *received.* And He was neutral concerning who marriage was literally made for in Matthew 19:10-12.
What Jesus actually said, was that not marrying is not something that everyone receives. He gave examples of those who receive it and said those who are able to receive it let them receive it. That is it. Ironically, it seems your teaching on this is an explanation of what _you_ think He meant, rather than what is clearly stated.
Again, Jesus never actually said marriage is for the weak (only), which is what you are saying. Yes the weak do marry, this is true, but not only the weak, and the Bible never says marriage was made for the weak. I know (with first hand witness) of some who received the gift of celibacy, who were not weak as you would say, but overcame lust, masturbation, pornography, and natural carnal desires in self control and learned to live single, celibate and in joy (not in bitterness, pain, depression, etc.). Jesus instructed them to marry because He desired them to have godly offspring. I know one person who Jesus literally had to convince for months, as they were completely happy in being single and celibate. Jesus told him that marriage was a GIFT He wanted to give him, on top of the offspring, which the Bible already calls a gift and reward from God (Psalm 127:3-5, Proverbs 17:6). The only lawful way God has provided to have children (a gift and reward from God) is to be in a covenant marriage, outside of this is punishable though children can still be produced. The point is marriage was made for having a proper environment to have children, a gift of God. satan has lead mankind to mess this up in many ways.
So the point is that marriage is also for the purpose of reproduction and the producing of nations, regardless of if one is weak or not. Noah and his three sons are prime examples of this. The Bible calls children the fruit of marriage, a gift and reward from God. So the Bible does not speak against marriage neither does it encourage people to not marry in the way you are. There are times and seasons yes, where it is better to not marry, but that is not a universal law. And again, I am a living witness to more than one person, literally, who would be strong and not weak according to your views, who Jesus instructed to put aside the life of celibacy and take on a wife, it was not because they were weak, but because of reasons also found in the Bible that were blessings, gifts and rewards.
Now as for the part I agree with:
_"Perhaps if I obtain omniscience and know the behaviour will not be repeated, perhaps. otherwise there will be no restoration. Reconciliation perhaps, friendship perhaps, but restoration is for God, since He alone can do it without the incredible risk the rest of us must take."_
Though you may not believe that this could be a reality for you, I do. And personally I believe this is reasonable especially if you have been severely damaged, even the quotes you mentioned, I would not say that that is an easy thing to just forget. God can give you the understanding that the behaviour wont repeat or whatever it is you ask of Him in reasoning about the subject while working with Him.
My point has been from the beginning (which the last portion of the video speak about), is that those who have spouses who have wronged them and left them and so on, should simply remain single as Jesus through Paul taught, and work with Jesus in seeing them restored to Jesus Christ. Anyone who is working with Jesus in seeing their spouse saved (their spouses soul saved), if/when the time for reconciliation comes, I believe God is powerful enough to show that person, even in the way you described above. Also, in that process of waiting, Jesus can heal those wounds. I know of testimonies of people going through this and Jesus doing the miraculous. (Mar 9:23, Php 4:13.)
May the Father bless you in Jesus name.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 let me see if I understand your position. God changed the rules. Further the rules changed after God divorced from Israel and Judah. So God had rules in place only as long as he could benefit from said rules. Then up and changes them, since God no longer needs to divorce.
We aren’t entitled to set boundaries in our own relationships. And Covenant relationships have no terms. Adultery is perfectly fine. Abuse is fine. And the abuser who murders their spouse is fine to remarry, but the one who forgives the adultery, sets a boundary and walks away from the abuser is an adulterer if they even consider another relationship?

adultery is not the exception, it is fornication....
I did not say adultery is the exception. Fornication was the exception due to Jewish culture as exemplified by what Joseph was about to do to Mary, and was the exception to the Laws of Moses as Jesus said. When Jesus was asked if it was lawful to divorce for ANY REASON, His answer was basically no, and is the same answer Paul gave (which I demonstrated in the video @11:22), which means this is the New Covenant standard.
That is not true. It is sexual immorality. It is broad and includes in the marriage.
@@maunder01 except for fornication (i.e. sexual immorality) is in reference to the laws of Moses (and technically Jewish culture). In Mark 10:2-12 Jesus gave no such exception, but his answer was the same as in Matthew 19:3-6, which was "no", and in Mark He was asked “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”, that was divorce period. The answer is it is not lawful.
@@thenewcovenantisraelreform7633 this is your interpretation. It is not that clear and black and white - this is why it is such a contentious issue today. Each situation is different.
One should not leave the other and divorce to just marry another - of course this is adultery!!!
The exception allows the innocent to be free. Jesus came to set the captives free. Do you not see that your point of view is binding a heavy yoke on the innocent?! The scriptures state that in the last days their would be forbidding to marry - l really am wondering if this wave of doctrine is exactly what was spoke of!
If the unbeliever leaves let them leave... Darkness and light can not exist together. All scripture is given to man as they were moved by the Holy Spirit! Paul said the believer was no longer bound.
The priests were not to marry a widow or divorced woman... Why was such a thing in place if it was not allowed full stop?!! It was something that the common person did do.
@@maunder01 well if you believe that it is only my interpretation, as in my own understanding or meaning of what the literal words say, then we can both go back to Jesus on it; I am actively doing this because of the amount of challenges I get on this subject, so I welcome you to do the same.
You said "this is why it is such a contentious issue today", no, the reason why there is so much issue with this subject is because very few are following Jesus and learning from Him, few are taking challenges back to Him, but defend their situations and manipulate scriptures to suit their feelings.
"The exception allows the innocent to be free. Jesus came to set the captives free. Do you not"
Jesus explained to me that people are suppose to take their spouse before Him in prayer seeking Him to SAVE them, they are to fight for their marriage on their knees and He would save the spouse they would have been looking to divorce out of anger, hurt and unforgiveness, He would save them, turn them around and restore the marriage. I know of people who actually trusted Jesus to do this, even some whose spouses played the whore for 10 years leaving them behind with the children, Jesus restored them because the faithful innocent spouse prayed for the one who left, the one who hurt them. Jesus does set the captive free, the problem is the hard hearts of the hurt spouse cutting the other off because they hurt them, they do not trust Jesus in setting their unsaved, disobedient, sin bound, corrupt spouses free, so they want a new one.... They do not trust Jesus, so they look for justifications to run from their vows they made and obligations to spiritually support their spouse in the time they need it the most.
As for the other situations and this not being black and white, Jesus has power to deal with EVERY situation, Jesus called divorce and remarriage adultery, none of the Apostles taught to put away anyone for any reasons, so this is black and white. People just give into the temptation to divorce and remarry which Jesus called adultery because satan has given them gray excuses, darkness looking like white. They look for a way out, rather than bare their cross with Jesus and see Him glorified in their situation, saving their spouse with Him or glorifying Him in remaining faithful when their spouse is not, just like Jesus does with us as the Scripture says.
The Judgements of Jesus will consume all sin in the lake of fire. All sin is literally temporary.
Amen.
