I've been divorced since age 34. I'm 50 and am not remarrying... ever. Christ's words are clear.
Exactly. An people don't understand that
Remain single.
Much respect brother!
may God give you strength...you know Christ said we strive to get on the narrow door because many will try and won't make it.
God bless you brother, your faith, patience, and obedience are 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
I read some of the comments on here and this is mine. Its always easy for someone to spout out verses against remarriage that hasnt had to go through a terrible adulterous marriage. Or even a very abusive marriage. So Jesus wants us to be cheated on and beaten for the sake of covenant? I dont believe that for one second. So people aren't going to spend the rest of their lives single and without a relationship. So believeing they can't remarry drives people into sin far more than a remarriage.
They are deliberately ignorant. That is not God's way: "They teach for doctrine the commandments of men."
@barb transformed God said if we love him to follow his commandments. But that’s only if we love him.

Amen. God told me in a very loud voice inside my body not to divorce my cheating husband. I have been a stander for 10 years though he decided to leave, claim he is forgiven and keep on committing adultery by "marrying" a younger female.

Actually, a man is allowed to marry more than One woman as long as he can fulfill the requirements according to the instructions/Torah
There sure are a lot of so called Christians throwing stones at divorced Christians! Ye who are without sin, can throw the first rock - none did
Most people are just quoting scripture.
So my wife cheated, left, contributed to my children's murders and you are telling me if I ever remarry I'm committing adultry?
You're wrong!
If a spouse cheats the other half is released if reconciliation isnt possible.
The cheater however can not remarry unless the other one dies.
Stop with your opinions and actually read the bible
stvn509 Oh my sweet brother in Christ - yes you will be committing adultery - reguardless of what your wife did or did not do. Yes God will grant a divorce because of adultery but He will not bless a remarriage. You are bound to her until death. You have to choose who you love more - this world and your selfish desires or Jesus. It’s not easy to face this truth but it is necessary if you want to see the Kingdom of God. As hard as it is to accept just remember you are loved. God bless

1 Corinthians 7:15
But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
Matthew 7
1Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
I find it appalling when so-called Christians judge others with zero compassion and attempt to convince them into bondage of flesh and law instead of Spirit and blood.
Fighting about sins is not saving souls.

A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.
1 Corinthians 7:39 NIV
If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, 2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, 3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, 4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance. (Deut 24:1-4)
“Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Luke 16:18 NIV
And yet neither Christ or Paul ordered anyone to depart from their second marriage, nor did either declare those marriages not to be genuine and binding.
Silence on the issue in the Bible actually works against your argument. A widow with children who remarried would have been bringing a step-dad into her children's life. Is that invalidated because the Bible does not mention it?
Read Jesus' words concerning Deut 24:1-4 in Matthew 19:3
Divorce and remarriage is very clear in the King James Version of the bible.Bible says study to find yourself approved.Not listen to your pastor but read for yourself,bible says you have need of no man.
Your language says you really learned a lot and it seems it took very well for you.Oh and with the way you learned your studies it makes me understand why you believe the way you do.Also the many denominations are only the many ways people strive to avoid the truth.But it matters not to me the end will tell all.Have a nice day.

Maybe you need to check out the 7 deadly sins in Galatians 5. Gal:18 But if you be led of the Spirit ye are not under the law. Did you hear that? So, if a brother or sister talks to God about his/her situation, let them listen to God and not to the Pharisees who were going around charging others with evil. Gal. 5:19-21 mentions a lot of things besides adultery. Check this out: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations (jealousy), wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings ...
I think you have enough to say grace over if you can abstain from all of that. So, according to the scriptures your hatred is just as bad as adultery.
Do those calling themselves disciples of Christ actually understand the concept of repentance and the difference between repentance and a past sin? NO SIN can be forgiven UNTIL repented of. Simple mathematics. In other words, the sin itself MUST STOP. And IF someone is married to another while their first wife is still alive, this IS the continued sin of adultery AS DEFINED by God and therefore it HAS NOT BEEN repented of (OR STOPPED). Unless repentance, no forgiveness. Unless forgiveness, no Heaven. Thus repentance is foundational. If A=B AND B =C, then A=C. Sin, repentance, forgiveness and salvation are as easy as simple algebra, WITHOUT exception.
Doktor James Yes, Romans 6 stop sinning. Jude 1:4 using the grace of Jesus as a license to sin is condemnation.
Best !
So he is supposed to divorce the second wife? That is a logical fallacy. If anything, you only prove the point that we shouldn't be arguing these things because there is no right answer except through the blood of Jesus. We cannot live perfectly by the law and nit picking like this is what the Pharisees practiced, and we know what Jesus said about them...
i have been deeply touched by testimonies of sincere people who have left remarriages after conviction by God. i am a divorced non remarried man of 10 years
MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU
Are you expecting someone to put a star on your worksheet?
If you see fit to stay unmarried, that is your business. You are free to do so. As for me, I have no intention of staying single following my divorce.
If you marry any other besides your spouse, it's an act of adultery. Please, do not commit adultery.
YES!
If you are divorced and remarried and your first spouse is still living you are committing adultery before Almighty God. Period
And you are stirring up strife. Where strife exists there is every evil work. Adultery and hatred are listed in the same category. Read Galations 5.

@@thetruthsadvocate4934 I never said anything about the scripture being untrue. You keep posting that let's me know you sadly deal with self-righteousness. Instead of listening or looking intently at a person, you just spout scripture unnecessarily. Even Jesus didn't do that. When He walked this earth he loved the deepest dinners and detested religious people quoting scripture to try and rule over people. Fortunately, your quoting doesn't affect me one bit because I KNOW Him. I love Him and He loves me. I feel sorry for people who are weak to the enemy's rhetoric covered in religious disguise. If you paid attention, no one is saying the scripture is false. Your interpretation is partially wrong. And please understand that people break His rules everyday. That is sin. You break it now with your repeated quoting of scripture to try and guilt someone. But the Bible says, do not lie....yet people still do. We are to honor parents....some don't. We shouldn't fornicate....it still happens. That's sin. All is forgiven and redeemed in Christ except blasphemy. But for this marriage issue if both parties are single, yes pray for restoration with everything in you. But if the other party sleeps around and chooses to divorce, the abandon spouse IS free. The Bible states in 1 Corinthians 6:16 - "Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” A joining of another body had occurred with adultery so a splitting must occur. We pray the harlot is split away, but sometimes the spouse ends from the other spouse. That's why allowed with divorce because adultery brings in another union. And then read Deuteronomy 24:1-4...after a remarriage we shouldn't go back to first spouse, but people still do it. We are sinners. The point is that once God reveals the Truth to us in Christ, we are to go and sin no more. So stop trying to make someone feel guilty of a past sin! You are commiting self-righteousness and need to repent of that as well.
Jesus commands. "Now to the married the Lord commands ," A wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife."
I Corinthians
Nick Hayes Simply put and straight from the Lord.
@jeff h Let he that is without sin first cast a stone. OMG, I've never seen so much crap! Why are you people worrying so much about your neighbors' shortcomings? Don't you think you have enough to say grace over? Jeez.
@jeff h Thank God I am single and widowed. I'd hate to look to you for guidance if I should be divorced. However, I do not agree with you. I believe Jesus forgives. What about you? Have you ever looked at a woman to lust after her? And that can happen every day.
You are flawed in your thinking. You are propounding a works-based salvation. Read your Bible - and this time THINK. Salvation cannot be based on works or that we have remembered to ask forgiveness for EVERY sin. What if you sin minutes before you die unexpectedly. Do you then go to hell for unconfessed sin?
This assumes an earned salvation. Not so.

Luke 16:18 Whosoever divorces his wife and marries another committheth adultery, and whosoever marrieth her that is divorced committeth adultery.
This lines up perfectly with all the other scriptures that speaks against remarriage.
Tatiana J. ,
Luke 16 :18 is a Rule that has only one exception : "except for unfaithfulness" , in short , that appears in Matthew 5 : 32 .
An exception to a rule is always the opposite of that rule ; so , in full , the exception to Luke 16:18 is the opposite of Luke 16 : 18 , that's to say this : " whosoever divorces his wife FOR UNFAITHFULNESS and marries another doesn't commit adultery , and ( therefore) whosoever marrieth her that is divorced doesn't commit adultery .
@Liz P. ,
Why Jesus doesn't authorize divorce for any reason that's not unfaithfulness ? It's because the husband exposes his wife to adultery .
Why Jesus authorizes divorce for unfaithfulness ? It's because whoever divorces his wife for unfaithfulness doesn't expose her to adultery.
To demonstrate that , let's use what Jesus said in Matthew 5 verse 32 : " But I tell you whoever divorces his wife , except for unfaithfulness, exposes her to adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery ".
That verse is the combination of a Rule and the exception to that Rule .
Here's the Rule : " But I tell you whoever divorces his wife exposes her to adultery , and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery ".
Here's, in short , the exception to that Rule : " except for unfaithfulness ".
An exception to a rule is always the opposite of that rule , or an exception to a rule always produces opposite consequences to those of a rule , right ?
So , in full , the exception to the Rule above is this : " But I tell you whoever divorces his wife FOR UNFAITHFULNESS DOESN'T EXPOSE HER TO ADULTERY, and ( therefore ) he who marries that divorced woman DOESN'T COMMIT ADULTERY ".
When there is divorce for unfaithfulness, there is really separation between the two persons , because it's God who authorizes that divorce ; so it's God , not man , who separates what he had joined .
So , for unfaithfulness, divorce is permitted and remarriage is not adultery.
However, when whoever divorces his wife for a reason that's not unfaithfulness, for Jesus the two persons are not separated , they are still married even if they have divorce documents , even if they don't live together anymore ; that's why that woman is exposed to adultery if she remarries an other man , also that's why that man can't marry an other woman since his wife is still alive ; he can remarries after wife's death .
I hope I help .
Blessings !
@sploofmonkey That's false. Matthew 5:32 trips everybody up, especially if you're not studying the scriptures. That exception clause was referring to the 1st century Jews tradition of a betrothal period, which we know as an engagement. The difference is this betrothal was so serious that the man & woman were considered husband&wife before even making their vows. If that "husband" discover that his "wife" really wasn't a virgin, he could "divorce" her or put her away. The original text was changed from "except for fornication" to "except for sexual immorality" You have to read from the KJV bible, these new translations are changing these scripture to cause confusion(a trick of the enemy). This scripture has the world thinking adultery is grounds for divorce. When in God's eyes there is no divorce, the marriage covenant is until death do you part. It's literally in the marriage vows.
Liz P. So if you've remarried are you to divorce? That's a sin in its self! So to stop sinning one must sin? Fool!
Liz P. Wow! You have it all figured out. You’re the reason why ppl don’t seek religion. You’re and absolute buffoon!
Matthew 19:9 states "And I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery". Given that, I believe that if he does divorce his wife for sexual immorality, he is free to remarry.
The Pharisees don't want to hear this. There is an exception clause and it's clear as day!
"Why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear." Acts 15:10.
That SCRIPTURE is definitely taken out of context. That is for those fiancee or bethrothal. Lik Mary and Joseph
You need to be very careful what you speak to others, "By your words you will be condemned , and by your words you will be justified". you see if what you are saying is true, it would contradict every other scripture on this doctrine, If you look at the verses Matt 5; 31" It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:".... that was what was happening, based on what Deuteronomy said, and Jesus said to the scribes and pharisees....."Moses allowed that because of the hardness of your heart"...... it was never God's will.
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication (porneia), causeth her to commit adultery (moicheuó): and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
@Separate issues
If we are looking at this in it's context , we see that firstly the 2 words Fornication and Adultery , are 2 separate words in the same verse, with 2 meanings (Sex before marriage, and sex after marriage) ,...the betrothal period was the time between asking for the girl to marry him after working the details of the dowry and any other thoughts/concerns between the girls parents and the would be husband ,.... and the girl accepting him , beginning the process leading up to the consummation of the marriage. ...engagement period, .....in like terms we are in the engagement period of our marriage to Jesus it hasn't been consummated yet. As Paul said "We are being saved".
No where is their any mention of justifiable remarriage in anything Jesus says, what we can see in the verse is a means to get out of the betrothal process before the consummation of the marriage, even under the law one could get out of the process, on the day/night of consummation if the would be wife were proven not to be a Virgin , this is what Jesus was eluding to (The Exception), and we see that example in the story of Joseph and Mary , in fact if we in our western world engagement period, we also can get out of our proposal for marriage if our wife/husband to be, is unfaithful in the engagement period.
The mention of remarriage in this verse condemns both parties as "Adulterers" if they marry after a divorce, and we see in other scriptures that anyone who marries another while their spouse is still alive "Will be called an "Adulterer".
To understand this better , look up what it is to be a "eunuch for the kingdom of God's sake"
People can get divorced, but it is better to forgive and let God heal your marriage and bring your children up in the ways of the Lord. pray for your husbands and your wives , that the evil one will have no part of them , before the trouble and discord comes .
I was married for 12 years to my first wife she left me for another man 7 years after that she's the one who divorced me, now I'm remarried we're both Christians and I'm happy
I want to know something, for real. My wife of 11 years, was cheating on me for 4 years of my marriage.
I was her second marriage, but she was my first. We have children together.
She told me she wanted out because she didn't love me anymore and didn't want to be married to me anymore. I gave her what she wanted.
It was finalized this past spring.
I've watched alot of different videos from numerous people teaching on this, everyone is either straight against remarriage citing the old covenant or they are either citing a new covenant.
Mind you, my wife left me for another man and by what I've heard, watched, and read, maybe I should have never married her in the first place, seeing how she was married before me.
All I know, is my heart has been destroyed, my family broken, I'm broken.
I just wanted someone to love me until I died.
So what am I supposed to do?
I'm asking all this from my heart.
Am I destined to be alone forever, never feeling the touch of a woman again, a hug, a kiss, an I LOVE YOU?
I just want the real truth, not opinions.
Very confused
The truth: TameDivorce.com.
The Bible is very clear, she cheated on you amd therefore you have an out, thats the only out Jesus gave as He knew how someone cheating feels, you are free to Marry anyone, preferably someone that has never been married, or that the reason why they divorce is because he cheated on her. Dont let the pharisees tell u otherwise
@jason hammond, So sorry for your loss. You are free to marry again. Find a good church that has Divorce Care that helps you heal for this. I go to the Assembly of God and we do Single adult ministry that includes divorce care. The Lord can heal you and lead you to a woman of God who loves the Lord. God is gracious, many on this thread are not very gracious or merciful. I hope you find peace in your walk with Jesus. God bless.
My question: Is he alive? Is she his first wife? If so, then you're good! They are still ONE FLESH with each other, which means she wasn't your wife anyway. That's why it was so easy for her to leave. She's guilty of adultery against him & you was pulled into that adultery with her. Now it looks like she's entering into another adulterous relationship. Repent & make sure your next lady hasn't been married. Be blessed
Hi Jason. Sorry to hear that. I may be wrong, though I studied a lot on this topic but your marriage was an adulterous relationship, not marriage. If her husband was still alive when you married her. Plus, bible says if you marry a divorced woman, you commit adultery. Keep studying scripture. Dont listen to this guy. It's all lies. Here is a link of someone who actually makes more sense. I'd contact him or other conservative pastors who truly worry about your salvation and care for you in general. m.ua-cam.com/video/MgPSBOaxWwI/v-deo.html
look we can make all the excuses we want but the law can never be much clearer. The fact that we are trying to make clarification regarding our decsision proves that in our hearts ,minds, and more importantly spirit, that there is something not right with that decidion. There is no running from the truth. I wish you all the best and hope you resolve whatever there is or if there ever was anything that you feel needed healing.
This is in the Bible and never I heard preaching about it:
1 Corinthians 7:15
But if the unbelieving spouse separates himself, let him be separated. In circumstances like these, the brother or sister is not enslaved - God has called you to a life of peace.
Alex MP 1 Cor 7:15 is talking about an unbeliever who wants to depart. The scripture says that in such a case the believer is not under bondage. Here is the problem . Many churches teach that not under bondage means that the believer is free to remarry . Wrong !! It is not saying that at all. Paul uses two different words for bondage. In Rom 7:2 ; 1 Cor 7: 27, 39 it is talking about the bondage of marriage but in 1 Cor 7:15 a different word is used which refers to being enslaved or servitude ....in 1 Cor 7:10-11 it actually says that if a wife leaves let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband and that the man must not leave his wife so there is no contradiction here .
If the unbeliever in 1 Cor 7:15 leaves, the spouse is not their servant or slave BUT the marriage ties remain until death.
I am divorced and remarried but am not living in sin. My first marriage was to a Jew in a registry office. A registry office is a civil ceremony and nothing about it is religious. No mention of God, No Bible Reading or the words till death us do part. My wife divorce me not I her. On the last day of the hearing God pointed out 1st Corinthians Chapter to me. I cannot divorce my none believing wife but if she divorces me then I am under no obligation. As to the person I married after my divorce, God took me from the UK to the Philippines to meet her and we have plenty of evidence via the Holy Spirit that God has blessed our marriage
my husband left me in 2004 for another woman and gave me a divorce but I never got married again to no body iam a Christian serving the lord I can get married again because he committed adultry on me
I have a paper of divorce and decided to get married .again I know my God is gracious , forgiving God . I believe in my heart that Jesus has forgiven me for marrying my present husband . I have been saved by Jesus grace. All my sins have been washed away by Jesus who died for me in the cross. If God did not pay the price of all minor and major sins then Why God still has to send his son Jesus to paid the debt of our sins.if He freely forgives us all our sins Jesus accepts with open arms of those who ask for repentance of all who have faith in him and knows that He is a loving, kind, compassionate God . If we confess in our mouth truly that we are sorry for our mistakes God forgives us. Jesus ask us to be born again to reconcile with our Savior.
Don't worry dear. We have some Pharisees on this site and they think they have never sinned and that divorce is the only unforgivable sin. They are stupid, honey. Maybe God will heal them.
KNOW THE PURE GOSPEL
CHRIST took our punishment ON THE CROSS and bears our sin. To not rest in Christ and remain led by His SPIRIT in LOVE is to not believe
Romans 3:
21. But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. 22. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
(Galatians 5:4)
"You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace."
(Galatians 2:21)
"I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die."
(Romans 13:9)
The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
SO LOVE AND FULFILL CHRIST LAW
You won't get any condemnation from me concerning your remarriage, nor will you from any rational reading of The Word. There is nothing concerning your remarriage that needs forgiving.
I cannot for the life of me understand how any rational being can regard any remarriage as inherently sinful when there is a living former spouse. This is especially true if the divorce were initiated on just grounds (immorality, abuse, abandonment, etc).
When Jesus spoke those words in Matt 19:9, He was referring to divorces initiated in bad faith to cast aside a current spouse to pursue another. He was not referring to someone who remarries after fleeing an abusive situation.
without repentance there is no foregiveness
@@pauljones9495 And where is Ayda in need of repentance from anything? If you are referring to her being in a second marriage, I'd say you're dead wrong. What's done is done in that matter. There is no good reason for her to end her current marriage that is evident here.
1 John 4 : 1 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits
to see if their source is God, because many false prophets have gone
out into the world."
So I married a my high school sweetheart, we were both devoted Christians and dated for 5 years without sex before marriage, we were married 9 years and had 3 children. She was a teacher and I found out that she was going to a place called Chippendales instead of teacher meetings. She declared her feminism and demanded a life without a man. She filed for divorce and went on to sow her oats. I was devastated and didn't want anything to do with God or church. After 5 years of casual dating, I met an incredible non- Christian woman. After a year of dating we married, I was wanting to get back into a relationship with God and find a church. She agreed and she wanted to follow me in that direction, It surprised me. We have been together 25 years and have a stronger spiritual life than my first marriage, with two incredible Godly sons and have successfully helped my 3 adult children from my first marriage come to Christ.
You are going to go to hell if you don't repent even if your remarriage is wonderful
@@mfirstnlast5389 So you are saying this man will lose his salvation and be cast into the Fiery Notheaven because he won't divorce his present spouse? Will he also get poked by demons with flaming hot pitchforks? Will the demons spank his hiney with a hot iron rod? Will the demons force him to listen to the "1-877-KARS 4 KIDS" jingle played on an endless loop?
Refer to 1 Timothy 4:3 and Revelation 22:18-19 and consider that my warning to you.
I watched the entire video, and I hate to break it to you, because the Truth is you are in severe violation of God's law for getting remarried while your first spouse is still alive. Yes, you are living in adultery, and no adulterer shall inherit the kingdom of God. God or fleshly desire? Adam chose Eve over God and look where that got us.
So you are saying a person who is lost and gets divorced and remarried years later and then after that asks Jesus in is not saved?
When a person gets saved they have to repent from all their wicked ways which would included previous or current adulterous unions. Example: if a Muslim with 4 wives gets saved, he can't keep living with all his current wives. He would have to abandon the extra 3 wives he picked up and cling to his 1st wife.
God forgave me for my first divorce after I ask Jesus in. And God does not take back forgiveness. My lost ex wife? God forgave me for that divorce too even though it was her who filed. When I asked Jesus in I was forgiven of all my past sins He gave me a new life.
With all due respect, I don't think it was God who told you to keep living with the adulterous union that you currently have. It's your flesh telling you what it wants, and that's why it's important to crucify the flesh and follow God's will. The flesh doesn't want to have to deal with the rigors of what true repentance requires like Zacchaeus the tax collector was willing to restitute to the people he had defrauded prior to his becoming a follower of Christ.
After Zacchaeus gave his life to Christ Zacchaeus didn't say God has forgiven me so I don't need to return what I wrongfully took. You see when a previously married man gets a man made divorce and takes another woman, in God's eyes, that man is committing fraud a.k.a adultery, and if you get born again, restitution must be made.
If you stole another man's child to raise as your own prior to your giving your life to Christ, do you really think God is not going to expect you to give back what does not rightfully belong to you? You're going to have to return the stolen child. God never said it would be easy but eternal life is much more important than anything that this life can offer you. Your first wife, for as long as she is still breathing, saved or unsaved, will always be your wife no matter what. Till death do you part. That first wife belongs to you, and you should be praying and fasting for her to get saved, and reconcile, if possible. Worst case scenario, if your wife doesn't want to reconcile, you will have to remain single. Eternal damnation is not worth the gamble. Remember this is your eternal soul we're talking about.
Well you don't have to believe me.
What is significant about adultery in remarriage?
When Jesus said, "whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery" (Matt. 5:32; Matt. 19:9) He said something significant that I did not see for a long time. When Jesus made that statement, He was stating that divorce does not end the first marriage. People have always assumed that divorce ends the first marriage, but Jesus said that it is not true. The sin of adultery can only occur if one or both of the persons involved is married. If neither of the persons are married the term adultery cannot be used. When Jesus said that "whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery", He was stating that when a man marries a divorced woman he is living with another man's wife and therefore is guilty of adultery. Divorce does not make a man or a woman single again. Divorce does not end a person's first marriage. That is why a person commits adultery when they marry and live with a divorced person.
Do you get the significance of Jesus' use of the word adultery? Adultery could not occur in remarriage if divorce ended the first marriage. Adultery can only occur in remarriage because the divorced spouse is still married to their first marriage partner in Jesus' judgment. (Jesus is the Judge we will stand before, for our hearing on Judgment Day and it is important that we understand our Judge's reasoning and logic if we want to enter Heaven.)
The significance of the sin of adultery in remarriage is that divorce does not end a person's first marriage! God has joined the husband and wife together as one. "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.'" Matt. 19:4-6. Man's civil action of divorce in the court system of this earth, does not end the "one flesh and one spirit" aspect of the marriage that God has joined together.
Adultery in Remarriage: An Act or a State?
Is the adultery a one time act that occurs only on the day of remarriage or is the adultery the sexual union of the remarried man and woman throughout their marriage? This question is often phrased: "Is it (the sin of adultery) an act or a state?" Many would like to view the adultery in remarriage as a one time act because then the remarried couple can repent of their one time act and continue in their remarried state without separating or making any other changes. But is the adultery in remarriage only a one time act?
The term "commiteth" (adultery) in Matt. 19:9; and Matt. 5:32 is in the present indicative. Spiros Zodhiates states that "The present tense represents contemporaneous action, as opposed to action in the past or the future. It normally refers to continuous or repeated action. However, in the indicative mood, it may represent punctiliar action. The indicative mood is the only mood in which distinctions can regularly be made about the time when an action occurs. Examples: he will go, they had said, she saw."1 Therefore, the phrase "commits adultery" may refer to a specific time when adultery occurs but it may also refer to continuous or repeated action of adultery. Some have used the present indicative definition to state that the adultery only occurs one time at marriage and does not occur after that. However that conclusion cannot be decisively made from the present indicative. Every act of adultery (sexual relations in remarriage) occurs at a specific point in time and all repeated acts of adultery occur at specific points in time. At the same time the present indicative does not indicate that the act of adultery cannot or does not occur again. There is the possibility with the present indicative that continuous or repeated action of adultery does occur.
God states that the sexual intercourse of a divorced and remarried couple is adultery. Therefore each time they have sexual intercourse they commit an act of adultery. As they continue to have sexual relations and there is no repentance, it becomes a state of adultery. Therefore, adultery in remarriage is both an act each time it occurs, and a continuing state of sinning. The action of remarriage is not adultery.
Both an act or a state of adultery, is sin. Either one bars one from fellowship with Jesus and from entering Heaven. One is guilty of sin before God until they have repented of the sin and stopped the sin. One cannot repent of the "act" adultery but continue in it and expect God to ignore the fact that they are continuing to commit adultery.
Well said! Thank you so much @
Mensajes para el Remanente for sharing. My sentiments exactly! Stay rooted in the word. Be blessed.
THE ACTION OF REMARRIAGE IS ADULTERY BECAUSE ADULTERY IS ALWAYS ACTIVE IN REMARRIAGE IF A MAN REMARRIES AND BECOMES UNABLE TO HAVE SEX DOES THAT MAKE HIS REMARRIAGE LEGITIMATE? IF TWO PEOPLE REMARRY BEFORE THE FIRST SPOUSES DIES AND THE FIRST SPOUSE DIES THEN THEY ARE STILL ADULTERERS EVEN AFTER THE FIRST HUSBAND DIES BECAUSE THE ALLOWANCE IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO REMAINED TRUE TO THEIR FIRST MARRIAGE WHILE HE WAS LIVING THE DEATH OF YOUR FIRST SPOUSE DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE FREE FROM THE LAW OF GOD UNTIL YOU REPENT OF THE SECOND MARRIAGE THEN AND ONLY THEN ARE YOU FREE TO REMARRY SOMEONE ELSE BUT ONLY IN THE LORD DEATH DOES NOT FREE AN ADULTERER ONLY REPENTANCE AND SEPARATION FROM THE SECOND HUSBAND DOES PERIOD

For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man."

My husband of 26 years met someone online and married them. I really miss married life but I will not marry unless and until he dies. And not praying anything happens to him. Instead praying for his safety and praying for his soul. God wants us to forgive and love everyone. That means we may have to die to self in hard situations. But its worth what we have to do...to do the will of God in a matter. Our choices matter to God. Will we obey or will we be selfish and do our own thing. And I pray daily that I stay strong. Got a long road ahead unless Jesus comes back soon.

Liz Cutajar Thank you...blessings
you and your fans are idiots who ignore the word of God. Jesus said EXCEPT because of fornication (incl. adultery but all a word porneia whoredom that includes all kinds of stuff you might find out about his or her past later).your husband committed adultery against you, YOU ARE FREE. but be careful. watch out for t he typical fraud who will bait and switch you and not treat you the same after marriage as before. (I think marriage by fraud could fall under the heading of whoredom by that bait and switch player also. )
infowolf1 Paul says if you divorce do not get married but remain single or reconcile. Period. Jesus said if you marry another while your spouse is alive you commit adultry. The deciples asked him why then did Moses allow for divorce. Jesus said because of hardness of hearts. But it was not so from the beginning. Meaning it never was so. Also God lays out the definition of marriage in Genesis. Together until death. A covenant until death. Death separates not divorce. Let NO man put asunder. ( My caps for emphasis). Now when Jesus said except for adultry there are two adultrys in that sentence. The one in Greek means pornia which relates to before actual marriage...like during engagement. Because the Jewish people take the engagement very serious unlike nowadays here in America. Recall Joesph was going to quietly put Mary away...when he thought she had cheated during the engagement. Because if you cheated during engagement or after marriage you were stoned. Put to death. Recall the story about the woman caught in adultry. They were going to stone her. But Jesus said you with no sin cast the first stone. Pornia before marriage adultry after marriage. So the one adultry in that sentence would mean during the engagement and the one adultry means what it says If you divorce and marry another you commit adultry. In other areas of the gospel you find Jesus saying if you divorce and remarry you commit adultry. The except in the case of adultry is left out. It is not there. And then Paul spells it out quite clear. And also if a person has a covenant to live as ONE and are no longer two but one. Its until death. Now Jesus said to forgive 70 x 7 in one day. Everyday. How would he command to forgive that many times in a day and be ok with you not forgiving your very own spouse? If your forgiving your not going to divorce and marry another. Thats the same as unforgivness. But now if someone must get away it says let the unbeliever go but remain single. The commandment is to remain single unless you can reconcile. How would that be done if the other married another. How would the 2nd marriage be ok if Jesus says it is adultry. Of course its not ok since it is adultry. Theres excellant videos that explain better than I can. But for me its simple. I made a forever promise until death do we part. I don't love myself more than Gods law and I want God to be pleased out of my love for him. He never ever breaks covenant unless someone has rejected his offer of salvation and they had died in their sin. As long as they live he hangs on for the covenants sake. After death...too late to choose. They are in eternity at that point. Up until death they can repent and be forgiven as they forgive others. After death...its over. They already decided while they lived which path they chose. There is definate correlation in the marriage covenant. Since naturally marriage ends at the death of the husband or wife.
not "period" Paul said more. I Cor. 7:1, 2 it is good that a man not touch a woman but TO AVOID FORNICATION (porneia) let EVERY man have his own wife and EVERY woman have her own husband. do you know what a counsel of perfection is? something that is an idea but not always accomplishable. JEsus didn't rescind the Mosaic alloance, just warned you couldn't use it if the other party hadn't cheated or done something in the category of whoredom (porneia) and count yourself perfectly pure.remember after Jesus gave this teaching, the disciples said it was better if this is so to not marry? JEsus said that NOT EVERYONE CAN RECEIVE THIS TEACHING. Some were born eunuichs, some made eunuchs by men some became eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven's sake. but not everyone can contain and if they can't contain better to marry than to burn. St. Basil the Great said he'd rather see a man married four times (prohibited) than fornicating the issue is not so much do you commit adultery or not? the issue is, is this a tolerated degree of adultery, greatly discouraged but not damning? the answer seems to be the latter when you look at ALL Scripture on the issue not just the most extreme position. the early church position seems to have run to an extreme, at least the writers like Tertullian and others who even denounced second marriages in widowhood.
I was deserted by my husband and I feel as he was my covenant husband I’m stuck being single till he dies. I doubt I’ll outlive him as he’s a decade younger. 😢 I pray for him daily.
I'm not going to tell you what to do in this regard. But I can say that you do not have to be single. Don't listen to the legalistic ding dongs that claim you are never free to remarry.
And that if you do remarry, you'll lose your salvation and be darned into the Fiery Heck where demons poke you with flaming hot pitchforks and spank your hiney with a cast iron skillet heated to 1,000 degrees F.
Also: in Scripture there is no "covenant marriage" or "adulterous marriage". There is only "marriage"

Thanks for your video. One thing I've discovered in reading the many comments and also debating with those who comment on many different sites is there is a hang up when understanding God's Word. You will see verses taken out of context right and left and misapplied. From my experience, only about 5% or even less of believers (I'm being too generous) even know how to study the Bible correctly. So I see a deeper problem than just the discussion about marriage, divorce and remarriage. There is an appalling ignorance in the church on how to even discern God's Word. I think this is for three reasons:
1. Believers only regurgitate what they hear from a pastor/teacher/family member. They don't realize that all men and women are fallible (only Jesus wasn't). So they stake their lives on that one person getting it right, that he never misses a beat, that his opinions are always correct, etc. Whether or not they say it, they see their pastor as infallible when it comes to his teachings and stance.
2. Also they've been pre-programmed to take passages and verses out of context. They hear it from the pulpit all the time, so they think it's the right way to understand the Scriptures. And so they employee the same methods when discussing the marriage issue or any other heated issue. This is all they know and this is how they've been programmed.
3. Also, they are not challenged to be independent thinkers when it comes to the Word. You don't think for yourself, you just accept the status quo. This is why we have so many churches and even so many cults. Yet, the New Testament praises those who are independent thinkers and who throughly examine even the most esteemed teacher (even an Apostle...Paul as one example in the New Testament). Part of this is a matter of control. If their supreme leader says that they shouldn't research for themselves but only believe what they teach and how they see it, they remain control and a hold of their congregations.
So many times I have had to take a believer to task for using a verse from the Bible wrongly. They just spout it out without thinking, not even caring about the context (to them the context is immaterial). They don't understand that these books (letters) were written as complete documents.
Thank you Martin. Context is very material when considering the words of Jesus, Paul or any other authority in Scripture. It is not reasonable to hold that any of their words were intended to be read as some kind of universal blanket prohibition of divorce or remarriage after divorce. And it is irresponsible to assert that you are somehow banned from being married simply because you were once divorced, especially if the grounds for that divorce were fair and reasonable.

Unfortunately, he said absolutely nothing about divorce and if it’s right. And the Bible clearly states that unless the spouse is that you cannot remarried. There’s no way around it because nowhere in the Bible does it give permission to remarry.
At 2:15 mins "it is a new doctrine" David said, yet the early church writings called the Ante Nicene Fathers, taught remarriage while first spouse lives, is ALWAYS adultery.
2000 years later, in recent centuries remarriage has become ok... so in David's relatively short 38 year period, it is not hard to see why he thinks this is a NEW doctrine as opposed to a resurrection of truth.
Why did none of the early church in 100s to 300 AD not quote or refer to our modern Bible's Matthew 19:9? Seems apparent that their's read just like Matt 5:32. We don't see any greek manuscripts for that rendering until 4th century AD and not become dominant until a century or so later. The earliest few centuries for Greek manuscripts of Matthew 19:9 read like Matthew 5:32.
Grace to you Brett
Have you ever tried understanding Moses, Jesus and Paul in a congruous manner? It could help you differentiate between biblical facts from false suppositions imposed on scripture. For instance, do you realize Jesus didn't prohibit remarriage? Do you realize that Jesus nor any one else in scripture taught "indissoluble marriage." Do you even realize that is a false supposition imposed into scripture? What would happen to your view of this issue if you started with Moses' teachings first, from those facts you then interpreted Jesus teaching, and then from those facts you interpreted Paul, a chronological or historical unfolding of this issue. You might realize that those from which your view is derived start from presuppositions that alter what the bible actually teaches.
Neal Doster you should check out his channel as he has studied this extensively and you are wrong. John the Baptist said remarriage was illegal and Herod had him beheaded.
Your position falsely presumes that “John the Baptist loss his head because Herod was remarried.” Your view makes John’s rebuke to Herod about remarriage in general. This again demonstrates that your view doesn’t know Old Testament history. It proves you presume a lot on scripture. John’s rebuke of Herod was actually for breaking an Old Testament law.
Leviticus 18:6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord.
John rebuked Herod because of a relationship that broke Old Testament (near kin) Law. Leviticus 18:16 & 20:21 forbid a man to be sexually involved with his brother’s wife. John’s rebuke of Herod was not because of remarriage in general, but because it violated near kin law specifically, and that’s why it was unlawful. Brother in the text (to which you allude) is literally speaking of Herod’s brother Philip, thus it was not lawful for Herod to have Herodias. Remarriage in general was not forbidden by the law, nor was it the reason John rebuked Herod.
Again your position is build on false suppositions masquerading as Truth. Half truths are deceptive.

But those who don’t listen with open hearts will lose what little they think they have!”

"Whosoever shall divorce his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall divorce her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery" (Mark 10:11, 12). Pretty clear. Dean Michael Gorman, professor of New Testament and Early Christianity has concluded that: "In the early church, many voices addressed the subjects of marriage, divorce, and remarriage, but their message, on the whole, was quite unified. Christian marriage, they said, is an indissoluble bond.
Divorce, with the implicit right of remarriage, was not an option for Christian couples (though Origen admits some toleration existed), but permanent separation was. Remarriage after separation was considered punishable adultery or bigamy-sometimes more so for women than men. "
Matthew 19:9 is clear as day: 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.”
Sexual immorality on the part of your spouse is the exception.
Acts 15:10 and 1 Cor. 7:15
@@shalalala868 No it is fornication not sexual immorality that is sex outside of marriage
That's not true. There is no such thing as permanent separation anywhere in Scripture. It was actually unlawful for a man to unilaterally separate (or "send away") without issuing a certificate of divorce.
The kind of "separation" that Paul was referring to in 1 Cor 7:5 was when it was by mutual consent and for a definite time period.
@@dh605x Exactly because God hates divorce and nowhere do we find Jesus or Paul advocating remarriage except in the case of widowhood in 1 Corinthians.

Andreas - After reading too many whims and wants of truth... I find your response the most direct and loving. While I would never advocate any man leave his family and wife (an act I chose/forced into by a wife that quit the marriage) I also would say the Scripture has many passages that reflect on the nature of sin including adultery and havn't seen one man gouge his eye out in my 61 years on earth. When I need to know whats justified in the eyes of Jesus...I read Matthew 25:31-46 ( a severe order and accounting of my behavior here on earth) I am grateful to have read your words and ask you pray for me as I will for you.. in Jesus name. Amen
Dear Andreas, my wife is divorcing me so I feel your pain you went through. My situation is a bit different but still not my choice!
Remarriage is a sin when the spouse is alive, otherwise it is in contradiction with other verses. That isn't said they will be lost, but why take the chance. Jesus wants us to forgive each other. And to follow His example. God never abandoned His people. God was always faithful even when they were worshipping other gods.
Divorce is for the hardened of heart, I forgave my wife for abusive and adultres behavior. Still with the Love and Grace of God I want to be with her and I unconditionally love her...
God won't divorce someone, but He is the only one who may! Same as the throwing rock story. And we need to follow His lead! And not put own (selfish) ending in play...
WOW!! I am amazed at how many people actually believe God wants you to divorce your current spouse and go back to your first spouse! Even to the point of breaking up families, and leaving children with broken homes. Unbelievable.
I haven't read every single comment, but I certainly hope that SOMEONE has bothered to study 1 Corinthians 7; in particular verses 27-28:
"Art thou bound unto a wife? Seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife. But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned..."
Now, I looked up the words they used for 'loosed' just to make sure I was reading what I thought I was reading:
**'lusis' means 'a loosing, divorce, dissolution, release'
**'luo' means 'to loose, to release, to dissolve, untie, destroy, annul'
So perhaps you might understand it better if it was written like this:
"Art thou married? Seek not to be divorced. Art thou divorced? Seek not to be married. But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned..."
Do you see it now? Satan seems to be doing a bang-up job getting people to leave their spouses. And there's no shortage of people jumping on board; probably because marriage is difficult, and we have all thought one time or another about leaving our spouses. Don't fall for this, brothers and sisters. Study the word for yourselves.
I do not believe these people for one second. God is the only opinion to consider and I do NOT find this nonsense in God's Word.
So what r you saying? It is adultery to remarry when your spouse still lives. That is what God's word says.
In this lesson you have said nothing.
He is a deceiver
uh, what are you doing using the name "Jesus of Nazareth" as a handle unless you are some kind of deceiver yourself?
Read all of it. There is more there. But I won't tell you, you must read for yourself. Jeez. I've never seen so many self-righteous asses.
Is it better to be on a rooftop then to dwell in the house with an angry, loud yelling, cruel man?
yes
According to 1 Corinthians 7 : 10, 11 Lord commands : that you does not allow to divorce your husband (implisit even though he is adultery, abusive, cruel)
But if you does divorced him, you have to remain unmarried or be reconciled to him (nothing impossible if you have much prayers for repentance of him and restoration of your marriage, This is God's willing to heal the marriage)
For obvious reasons I am drawn in when I hear anyone discuss marriage and divorce; I prayed and asked the Lord to show me what is true regarding this particular topic. What I found takes me back to the scriptures that refer to seeking and finding, well I sought out the answer and God responded. without going into much detail, according the Moses, who's words were indeed inspired by God states in Deu 24:1,2 I believe, but check it. It is an abomination in the eyes of God to re-marry an ex spouse after engaging in a second union with another partner.
Don Hogan sorry, but Jesus Himself said you may think Moses said something, BUT I SAY. Check out www.cadz.net
YOU FOOL THAT IS WHAT MOSES WROTE BECAUSE OF THE HARDNESS OF THE GOD DAMNED JEWS HEART JESUS NEVER SAID OR AGREED WITH ANY OF THAT GOD DAMN ALL THAT FOOL

@@ronduckett8706 allowing divorce and prohibitng retaking of an ex who has been with others since whether they divorced or the other partner died, are separate things.
@@TruthTriumphsOnlyLordJesus yeah but He didn't address this particular issue. it kinda depends on whether you gave permission for the other to leave and belong to another or not. if the divorce was initiated by the other person, there may be a distinction. And this rule MAY have been to stop wife lending instead of being an absolute under all conditions.
Deut. 22 28-29 clearly states that anyone who takes a virgin must make them their spouse for life. Lets move on in real life two high school kids made a big mistake one night but did not marry. Years later they meet someone else and officially marry for the first time have children and make a good life for their family. If we are to follow the much used Bible math would they not have to leave their current spouse and return to their first one flesh partner? Lets see one flesh relationship with virgin + marriage = adultery. Guess they have to get out of their current first marriage and return to their one night mistake no exception no forgiveness just Bible math. To those that have taken the hard line on this issue first of all are you innocent? This gets really complicated when the sacrifice Jesus made for all of us is taken out of the picture for we all fall short even those that have only been married once.
Yes. Exactly.
jesus does not say to sit around and make exscuses for our sin like you do
I think it is a good idea to mourn for your own sins and not be so worried about what is wrong with your neighbor. We are all miserable sinners: There is none righteous, no not one.
Where is my sin, dumbo? I am not living in adultery and I am free to marry but I choose not to. Paul said, he thinks people can serve God better as a single person.
Not all marriage couples are really love each other do you believe? Because some of the women around the world suffering from marriage harrassment how can you explain? You marry the person that you never love?
@@patmelton43 the big issue in this marriage, divorce, and remarriage, is the Bible is brutal and we are emotional....so we tend to ignore a scriptural teaching, due to our emotions.....and no where else, more or less is this an issue...
Everyone in this comment section seem to be very righteous people that are incapable of sin...... I’d like to see how all of you actually live your lives......
Bible Scholar Stephan Wilcox writes: "Of all the early recognized Church Fathers who ever wrote, all who were written about, concerning every discussion and every debate, in thousands of surviving documents, over hundreds of years, there is not a single dissenting authoritative voice on the essential core doctrines of marriage, divorce and remarriage. Each taught the same doctrine, each held the same opinion and each enforced the same morals standards" That is, no Divorce/Remarriage”

@@philipbuckley759 So, you think God changed his mind? I don't think so.
I don't have a dog in this fight, but I resent people telling other people what to believe. You are not telling Bible truth. Paul wrote extensively about all these issues. "A brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases." 1 Cor. 7:15 Also Acts 15:10. You just hate the idea of freedom for people. You are spreading false doctrine when you don't tell all the truth. I do not accept your opinions.
My ex cheated, was abusive and left us. Stopped paying child support so he could buy a expensive car, married another woman, blamed everything on me, he laughed the day after our wedding as he admitted to "DECEIVING ME". And said you don't believe in divorce so you are stuck with me.
I came from a very abusive home my parents were very violent and I've been locked in basements, outside in the winter and was beaten and starved. He hurt me more than my childhood ever did.
My husband only physically HURT me twice. But his unfaithfulness and his emotion abuse destroyed my heart. One example we had a cookout with my sister and his parents my sister and him got drunk ( I never drank) she was on his lap and they were talking sexually to each other. In front of everyone.
I have not even dated these 10 years, I will never allow him back into my life. I'm not bitter, I don't hate him. He told me he recently started going back to church I HOPE HE GETS SAV3D, I HOPE HE REPENTS, I HOPE HE STARTS BEING A DAD TO HIS CHILDREN. I pray for him but I dont ever want him back. Its sad you can push a person so far that they beg God NOT TO EVER REQUIRE RECONCILIATION. I'd rather be alone and live alone. I have no ill feelings and I have forgiven him. But the damage he caused by his sin is not healed. Sometimes we damage people and it never will truly be ok.
I can't submit to a man that is not only CAPABLE of these things. Even if he repents, I can't tryst he will not go back to his old ways.
I wish him the best
O but the blood of Jesus can completely heal us from all pain and hurt if only we believe whom the Son sets free is truly freed indeed
I feel terrible for what you went through. However, you must forgive him
"and such were some of you..." God forgives and restores completely. He not only takes the stain of sin, He removes the name of sin (adultery). Jesus was contrasting the abuse of divorce by the Pharisees.... Adultery by imagination has been commited by us all at some point. So... every person marries an adulterer. God hates divorce. Everyone who has been divorced hates divorce. Let's not become accusers of the brethren. Adultery is not the unforgivable sin. Paul says, let EACH man have his own wife.... let EACH woman have her own husband. The early church as well as more than half of the prominent theologians believe that Paul was divorced and he stated that he had the right to take a believing wife. Look at King David and Bathsheba..... adultery and murder....yet she became the Proverbs 31 woman. After sinning, being disciplined by God, reaping the bitter pill of sin...... God forgave and made the marriage into a good thing. He will do the same for others today.
Jeff Burke Adultery in some form has been committed by every person. Right. So being forgiven by Jesus means you won't commit adultery again. The only proof of forgiveness is not continuing in adultery. If that is a remarriage you get out.
I encourage you to go to www.marriagedivorce.com and study this issue. 100 years ago all churches, especially Pentecostal Holiness churches, taught no divorce/no remarriage
If you have a love of the Truth and love Holiness without which no man will see the Lord, you will find out why Men of God like David Wilkerson, etc, preached against the divorces in the church that started in the 1980's
OF ALL THE FOOLS I HAVE HAD TO TOLERATE ON THIS THREAD YOU ARE THE BIGGEST GO STRAIGHT TO HELL WITH YOUR LIES AND VAIN DECIET
@ron duckett, You are not of the right spirit if you would even wish for someone to be lost in hell. And, even call him a fool. Jesus said if you call someone a fool you are in danger of hellfire. So, who is casting stones now?
ron duckett You sound very full of yourself. Have you no mind of how much foolishness God has tolerated from you?! Those who’re acutely aware of the grace they’ve received tend to show grace to others.
What if your spouse beared false witness against you by lying in court saying that you abused your child? She then refused to repent. She then refused to go to counseling. Wouldn't a person who did this be considered a non-believer? Are you condemned to spend the rest of your life with this person? Well, what do all of you Theologions have to say.
They don't know more than God tho' they might think they do. NO, my dear. Go on with God. These people are Pharisees and can't see the forest for the trees.
Let me get this right, my ex wife was caught in multiple affairs; ‘our’ pastors at the time exposed the affair. So after telling her I forgive her and she agreed to get counselling, she started ANOTHER affair so I said that’s enough. I’ve been re married for over 11 years now so my question is ...am I going to hell because my ex still alive ? Really?
Matthew 19:9 is clear as day: 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.”
Her sexual immorality makes you free to remarry. It's so explicit, I don't get how people can argue with it.
@@shalalala868 that's right mate. You can't argue with it.
You clearly had just grounds for the divorce, but cheating isn't the only just ground. Some people erroneously think only adultery is a valid ground for divorce, which disregards 1 Cor 7:15. Others will assert that only adultery and abandonment by an unbeliever would qualify as just grounds. (What happens if your spouse is a believer and they abandon you? Are you SOL?)
These misconceptions rest on the Argument from Silence fallacy. In other words, just because something isn't explicitly mentioned as a valid ground for divorce doesn't mean it isn't one.
No. I do not care what these self-appointed teachers of righteousness says. God says: If we confess our sins, He will forgive us all our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. He does not include a caveat, saying, "except for divorce and remarriage."
1:57 It isn't new at all, this ALWAYS was. The problem is no preacher or very few preachers teach this bible truth, so most of society didn't know/realize. Ppl are just now getting enlightened on this topic.
Why aren't you preaching against abortion which is murder?
Why don't you quote it all? Reason: because He also said "except for sexual impurity" and that is a valid out. Quit putting YOUR judgment on people. God is the rightful judge - not you.

KNOW THE PURE GOSPEL
CHRIST took our punishment ON THE CROSS and bears our sin. To not rest in Christ and remain led by His SPIRIT in LOVE is to not believe
Romans 3:
21. But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. 22. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
(Galatians 5:4)
"You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace."
(Galatians 2:21)
"I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die."
(Romans 13:9)
The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
SO LOVE NOT JUDGE
That’s why the line to hell is a very long and wide, but to heaven very narrow and straight. Jesus Christ suffered so much for our love, but we expect to have a cakewalk to heaven. With love comes sacrifices.
"Of all the early recognized Church Fathers who ever wrote, all who were written about, concerning every discussion and every debate, in thousands of surviving documents, over hundreds of years, there is not a single dissenting authoritative voice on the essential core doctrines of marriage, divorce and remarriage. Each taught the same doctrine, each held the same opinion and each enforced the same morals standards" That is, no Divorce/Remarriage”
Cite your sources for your reply. I pray you repent and come to be a follower of Jesus, you seem to have the fruit of antichrist, the Lawless one, by your antinomian filthy language, which is forbidden Ephesians 5:4 Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving." Your Ad Hominem attacks are no substitute for a cogent argument. The ECF teaching on no remarriage agrees with the clear teaching of Jesus and Paul, i.e., remarriage is adultery. The teachings of Jesus are clear and unambiguous-"Whosoever shall divorce his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall divorce her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery" (Mark 10:11, 12). Up until 50 years ago for a Christian to divorce and remarry was considered the sin of living in a continual state of adultery. 2000 years of Church History!
If you want to become a follower of Jesus you must follow His clear teachings concerning remarriage. The Truth will set you free! Matthew records Jesus as saying, "Whosoever shall divorce his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery" (Matthew 5:32). And again, "Whosoever shall divorce his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery" (Matthew 19:9). Mark and Luke :
"Whosoever shall divorce his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall divorce her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery" (Mark 10:11, 12).
"Whosoever divorces his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is divorced from her husband committeth adultery" (Luke 16:18).
Notice that in Mark the prohibition against divorce and remarriage is given to the woman as well as to the man.
Paul forbade departing from a marriage partner, forbade remarriage, and encouraged reconciliation if separation did occur.
What is significant about this point is that this writing may well have been the earliest New Testament writing on the subject. The date for the earliest Gospels (Matthew and Mark) is commonly set in the middle or late 50s (or early 60s);
Paul wrote I Corinthians around 55 A.D. But whether Paul was the first to record Jesus' teaching on marriage or second or third, he obviously knew Jesus' teaching well.
"And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife leave her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband divorce is wife”
(I Corinthians 7:10, 11).
In verse 11 he implies that separation may at times occur. Some feel this refers to the exception Jesus gave. In any case, Paul is clear that if there is separation, there is to be no remarriage while one's partner is living, but reconciliation if possible.
Paul records the same understanding that death and death only severs the marriage bond. Any other relationship during this marriage is adultery.
"The woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man" (Romans 7:2, 3).
I ask only that you please search out this matter to see if perhaps this viewpoint could be correct. If I've been wrong in my assertions, no real harm will be done. On the other hand if what I have concluded is the Historic Biblical view for 2000 years of Church History unquestioned till the 16th Century is correct many people are deceived and will suffer the torments of hell as a result of believing false teaching, and false grace.
Remember that the Pharisee’s were the party of divorce/remarriage
see www.marriagedivorce.com
And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall divorce her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery (Mark 10: 10-12).
Why is this issue so important? If people's Eternal destinies are linked to the legitimacy/illegitimacy of Divorce/Remarriage in the Church,, an issue 100 years ago that would not need to addressed. Can we sit idly by when our friends and loved ones are duped into believing that they can be in a remarriage and make into the Kingdom of Heaven, contrary to what the Lord Jesus the Early Church Fathers taught?
I argue from what I believe is a biblical as well as the historical view that the Church has held for 2,000 years of its' history. Below I cite ample evidence from the Early Church Fathers as well as Biblical Scholars in addition to the Word of God itself. Watch Bible teacher David Pawson tackle this issue: ua-cam.com/video/Noqlkx4mUFQ/v-deo.html
Dean Michael Gorman, professor of New Testament and Early Christianity has concluded that: "In the early church, many voices addressed the subjects of marriage, divorce, and remarriage, but their message, on the whole, was quite unified. Christian marriage, they said, is an indissoluble bond.
Divorce, with the implicit right of remarriage, was not an option for Christian couples (though Origen admits some toleration existed), but permanent separation was. Remarriage after separation was considered punishable adultery or bigamy-sometimes more so for women than men. "
Mensajes para el Remanente You are saying the truth and that is offensive. I am impressed that you know about antinomianism!
EVEN IF THE SO CALLED FOUNDING FATHERS DID AGREE WITH DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE JESUS CHRIST DID NOT SO WHAT DOES THEIR OPINION MATTER ANYWAY
IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS SAY EITHER WAY JESUS SAID AND HIS WORD ALONE IS SUFFICIENT IT IS ADULTERY TO REMARRY UNLESS THE SPOUSE WAS DEAD
You have to remember that Yeshua was Torah observant and thought the Father "hates divorce" He gave them specific ways to put away a spouse as long as they gave that spouse a legitimate bill of divorcement. It was a combination of those two parts of the marriage contract. Also most marriages are not "joined together by God." Returning to your first spouse is an abomination. To find moral law, you have to go back to the law.
Agreed
I’m reminded of Jesus and the woman at the well. She had been married 5 times and was then living with her BF. Jesus did not call her an adulterer, nor did He condemn her. He said, “Go, and sin no more”.
Jesus didn’t “condemn” the adulterous woman either. Does that he mean he endorsed her adultery. In both episodes, he’s saying to repent and sin no more, and that their past can be forgiven.
Did Jesus tell you everything on the first day of your hearing about him. Please don't justify adulterous remarriages.
Jesus also said the man that she was with now was not a husband, so only a fornicating boyfriend, yet Jesus did not call her a fornicator either so by your logic is fornication excepted by Jesus as he never told her about fornication????

Beautiful testimony, I am glad you waited in the Lord. That takes courage.
did you vow to your first wife till death do you part? According to Jesus and scripture your living adultery! Matt 19:9, Matt5:32, Mark 10;11-12, Luke 16:18, Romans 7:2-3, 1 Cor 7:10-11
Don't twist the word of God...you are like this pervert world...
Yes. You can only remarry after divorce if your ex spouse dies.
Period, despite what all the feel good, never bother to teach about our sinful nature.
Jesus said it many many times. So did Paul, Mark, John and in Romans.
Better tp stay single. Remember you said to your 1st wife you would love and take care of him/her from.
DEATH DO US PART.
NOT
Divorce do us part!!!
It's very very clear.
Marriage is once only. God makes the 2 to be 1.
This guy is a bit liberal. Read your Bible take NO MANS OPINIONS INCLUDING MINE....
READ YOUR BIBLE....
Husband one and two were both apparently dissatisfied with me. Each for his own reason "put me away" and married other women. This all occurred before any of us had a relationship with Jesus. I don't know about them but, I'm now a believer. I desperately want to be married...to a fellow believer. According to scripture though, I'd have to wait till both of my ex husbands are dead. That's not gonna happen. I'm not secretly wishing harm on either man. I've resigned myself to a life of celibacy. We're all in our mid-fifties. Were I to manage to outlive the two of them, by that time, I'll probably no longer be interested in marriage. For now I'm seeking after the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness. That's enough to keep me occupied till the Lord's return, which I believe is imminent. Upon His return, once I'm transformed into my new glorified body, an earthly marriage won't even register in my mind. It's all gravy.
The problem is that divorced people keep looking for a pastor or preacher that says what they want to hear instead of read the Bible to find out what God wants for us, it’s all there but we want to hear what make us happy, we want someone to say “go ahead do what you want God will forgive you even if what you doing is wrong” . Wake up people, seek your answers in God and not in faulty people and false prophets
This is not a minor issue, it is major. Churches cannot talk about the sanctity of marriage when it hasn't existed in the church for decades. Also, think of the heartbroken children of this family. They watch their divorced parent(s) attend church singles groups to mingled with one another and then remarry. They're teaching the children to sin. And what a witness to the world!
The word of God is very clear on this- divorce and remarriage is adultery. People need to fear God and be extremely careful teaching people to death. This is life and death. One should study the word of God, pray and fast and seek His guidance, not man's.
Hildafunk's World Judging from your answer, you seriously don't care about obeying the Word of The Most High. Ephesians 4:29, Proverbs 4:24, Galatians 5:22-23, Romans 3:10-14....I could go on.
One of the reasons (which by the way is the very short answer) why there are thousands of denominations and so many debates on whether or not we should OBEY our heavenly Father is because of the above mentioned passage in Romans 3:10-14. The path is narrow and FEW find it, Matthew 7:13-14. Be blessed, Matthew 5:44.
True, I agree with you 100%. Why do we need to find or create biblical context that will support or needs or desires. Why must we sugar coat the Bible to suit our needs when Jesus said it clearly that Divorce and re-marriage is sin. We need to be careful of deceitful teachings beacuse the Bible warns us that in end-times that they will be those who will appear as noble and wise but the aim is to deceive many. When ever Jesus or God's word is challenged, the devil is behind the lie. Genesis 3:1 says this perfectly "Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?". Paul in the new testament warns us that if any man or even an angel teaches us a different gospel than the one we received, we must NOT accept it.
Lwazi Bhengu Exactly! Well said! How can Luke 16:18 be misinterpreted?? And that's just one of many verses on the subject. I'm young and unfortunately living the reality of being wrongfully divorced by my spouse and it really is not an easy pill to swallow, however I love my Lord and Saviour Yeshua too much to deliberately sin and lose my salvation. Be blessed.
Wow! I am really couched by your commitment to Christ and standing by your faith no matter what. God does not want lukewarm Christians but strong Christians like you who will stand on God's word no matter what. Even if it means sacrificing their own needs. Jesus mention such as the ones whose foundation are built on a rock-Matthew 7:24-27 because they hear the word and they DO it. I can assure you that no righteous act goes unnoticed to God. He will reward you someday if you don't give up. Pray for your spouse because the word says that we should pray for those who persecute us. Nothing is impossible with God and restoration is possible even things look so dark and hopeless. I stand in faith with you that your marriage will be restored and it be 2 or 10x better. Job in the Bible lost almost everything he had and on top of that got sick but was restored everything and it was way better than before because he remained faithful to God even when it was extremely hard.

Using that logic, that context doesn't matter, then we can say that the Bible states, "There is no God." But, we can only say that, if we take that statement out of context. But, of course, you say that context is not important, so then the Bible says there is no God, according to your reasoning.
Theres no forgiveness.....??? What about a man that is in the world....married and divorced a few times....finds Christ etc etc....why then should he follow Christ because according to many of you his stuffed....why then proclaim the gospel.....Christ was showing you this and only this by showing you everybodies sin....even if you look at a women with lust you commit adultery....I was married to a control freak of a women that manipulated me each day of the 31 years of the marriaged...went through 7 affairs she had because of forgiveness etc etc...following as a true Christian she divorced me.....Thank God.....she still proclaims the gospel......and shouts from the hill tops....if God hasn't put you together....get divorced.....dont live a bitter and false life as these do that proclaim they are christians.....many many examples of failed marriages
Question Is sir are you ready to gamble with your eternity because of marriage issue.??
Law of GOD can't be change. Many CHRISTIANS STILL DOING THESE SINS EVEN THEY KNOW WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE SCRIPTURE. Before you divorce or remarry ASK OUR LORD JESUS FIRST IF HE ALLOW YOU TO DIVORCE OR REMARRY.

In Matthew 5 verse 32 Jesus says this : " But I tell you whoever divorces his wife , except for unfaithfulness, exposes her to adultery , and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. "
To understand better what Jesus wants to tell us in that verse , let's move "except for unfaithfulness" to the end of the verse ; the verse is still the same and easier to understand.
" But I tell you whoever divorces his wife exposes her to adultery , and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery , except for unfaithfulness ".
Jesus permits a man to divorce his wife only for unfaithfulness , because for that reason he doesn't exposes her to adultery , and therefore if an other man marries that divorced woman he doesn't commit adultery. But when a man divorces his wife for any reason that's not unfaithfulness he exposes her to adultery , and he who marries that divorced woman commits adultery ; why ? because for Jesus that man and that woman are still married .
If God authorizes divorce for only unfaithfulness its because for him there's really divorce , there's really separation . For unfaithfulness it's God who separates what he had joined , not man .
However , a divorce whose cause is not unfaithfulness is not a divorce for God ; for God the two persons are still married even if they are separated , even if they don't live together anymore ; that's why those two persons are exposed to commit adultery , they will commit adultery if they marry other persons again .
I hope I help .
Blessings !
If one divorces, that person cannot remarry as long as the ex is still alive.
neither can the one being divorced.....ergo no innocent party....ref Mt 5.32
There are no documents whatsoever in the first 1500 years of Christianity that permitted remarriage.. The simple reading of the Bible verses concerning remarriage cannot be understood any other way than that Jesus plainly indicated no divorce/no remarriage. The early Christians all spoke, and if they could read, Koine Greek. They did not need to go to a Greek lexicon in order to figure out what a word or phrase meant. That was their spoken language. They understood Jesus plainly taught no divorce/no remarriage.
Although there were many points of difference theologically in the 1st 1500 years of Christianity, all Christians agreed that marriage was permanent-divorce and remarriage forbidden.
How was it that ever since the humanist Erasmus (Henry VIII influenced by him), in the 16th century, who opened the door to the possibility of divorce, although that view was a minuscule consideration that no churches embraced until the 20th century. In the later half of the 20th century divorce became easier.
The Internet is filled with websites that will confirm a person’s desire to remain in an adulterous marriage, what Jesus would call an adulterous marriage, with many proof texts from the Bible.
Unfortunately, church history is not on their side. These are novel, that is, new, interpretations of the word of God has clearly stated and what 2000 years of church history has believed. Marriage, whether before conversion or after, is indissoluble until the death of one of the partners.
The view I hold was the majority view for 2000 years-now a scant 6% of pastors preach what I preach.
If I were to preach the prevailing doctrine concerning divorce remarriage I would have nothing to lose.
However, if a pastor were to preach what I preach, which I’m convinced based on the historical; and plain meaning of the Bible passages that I gave you, and the way that for 2000 years Christians have interpreted it, that that pastor would find himself with the very, very small congregation.
If a pastor of a large mega-church began to preach the historical doctrine concerning the permanency of marriage held for 2000 years of its history , his church would end up being a handful of people with a very large mortgage to pay-guaranteed!
Jesus said the way was narrow that leads to eternal life and FEW there be that find it.
What does that mean?
People who want to find information that would support their opinion that sodomite marriage is not a sin, or that the sodomite lifestyle is not an abomination, can find many websites of “pastors” and theologians with lots of degrees following their names that can give them Bible verses, proof text, etc. to confirm their belief that the sodomite lifestyle is accepted by the Lord Jesus Christ.
There is a great falling away.
According to recent polls, Evangelical Millennials consider the sodomite lifestyle to not be a sin, and that the “old fogeys” in the church just don’t have the “understanding” they do.
They believe, as does the Emergent Church, that we should change and adapt to the culture we live in, and seek to have newer and fresher understanding and interpretation of what they consider bigoted Bible texts that old folks cling to.
The Baby Boomers likewise embraced remarriage in the same way. While the baby boomers started getting divorced in the 1960s, and those were primarily nonbelievers, as my parents were the only divorced couple in our church when they got divorced in the early 1960s when I was 4 years old.
Divorce was never heard of in our culture except in the rare occasion of movie stars, as divorce was a very expensive expenditure. Unbelievers were divorced who could afford it. Most people could not afford a divorce. California opened up the door for “no-fault “divorces. The divorce rate skyrocketed in the 80s with the advent of no-fault divorces.
The church was silent during this period. In my estimation, it was the love of money, not the love for truth, that kept pastors silent.
The fear of loss of members and money is a pretty powerful motivation to keep quiet about issues that are controversial, as divorce became prevalent. I am a pastor, I know!
Pastors did not want to lose the money nor the members by preaching against divorce. There was no council like there was in Jerusalem (Acts 15) to discuss the issue in the 80s in the light of the historical teaching of the permanency of marriage and remarriage being forbidden.
Even today, when was the last time you heard a sermon in church about covetousness being idolatry, and the Bible states that no idolater will make it into the kingdom of heaven, as Paul the apostle taught?
Modern pastors, especially mega-pastors, do not preach against sin and sins that will cause their congregants to find themselves outside the kingdom of God and the outer darkness as Jesus warned about.
Jesus, in the beginning of the book of Revelation:
Revelation of John 3:5: He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Modern christians have their proof texts and all whole slew of “Bible scholars” that prove their point that the sodomite lifestyle is permissible, and even blessed by God. They would just consider you an old guy that’s behind the times and not having a true understanding of the new Bible interpretations that permit sodomite marriage.
Ken Wilson, a vineyard pastor, from Ann Arbor Michigan, has written a book where he now teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ accepts sodomites and sodomite marriage.
We are in the last days, people are being deceived and deceiving. These people will not make it into the kingdom of heaven. This is the great apostasy the Bible warned about.
The divorce/remarriage issue is no different.
2000 years of church history forbade this, now the modern church of the West has come to a different conclusion than what the early church taught, and their understanding that Jesus did not make the rules “easier” in the sermon on the Mount but presented a call from discipleship which was based on on obedience to his teachings.
Even the 70, when they learned the hard teachings of Jesus, the Bible says, walked no more with him. Jesus turned to the 12 disciples and asked if they were interested in leaving also. The apostle Peter replied, “where else would we go, Lord, only you have the words of eternal life.”
35 years ago I visited this issue with my friends, and without studying, I told them since they were new creations in Christ, and old things passed away, therefore their marriage/divorce didn’t matter, since now they were saved. Number 1, I was not a the pastor at the time, I was a 22-year-old kid with an opinion that was not rooted in what the Bible taught, an opinion derived from my own limited reasoning.
If marriage is not valid before conversion, then anything and everything Jesus said about “adultery” would make no sense since no one was actually married. If marriage is only legitimate when performed in a church, as a Christian, then everybody that is not born again are not really married. It would be impossible to commit adultery since they’re not really married in God’s eyes.
According to the Bible marriage is ordained by God. Genesis. Believers and unbelievers can be married. A conversion experience does not delegitimize nor nullify any former contracts, covenants, agreements, or relationships.
A divorced father cannot refuse to pay child support to his children based on his recent conversion, by saying that he is a, “new creation in Christ-old things are passed away” therefore with that type of logic he would no longer be responsible for his children.
He would declare that he is not the same person as he was before his conversion therefore he is not obligated to pay child support-using that kind of logic.
A newly converted Christian cannot e-mail his mortgage company and declared that since he is a “new creation in Christ-old things have passed away”, the person he was before has died and therefore is not obligated to pay his mortgage-he is convinced that the “old man” was buried in baptism, and that included the “old man’s” mortgage.
Jesus in Matthew 24 warned that it was possible for Christians to be deceived. He warned of a falling away. Paul also said that the Antichrist would not the revealed on till there was a “Great Falling Away” of Christians from the faith.
In Matthew chapter 7, Jesus addresses people who are convinced that their successful ministries are proof of their relationship with the Lord Jesus, and so much that they declare “Lord, Lord”. These are not men who were unbelievers, these were people who were obviously in some type of ministry, of which Jesus does not negate their statements of demons cast out, prophecies made, and miracles done. Jesus doesn’t say that the miracles were illegitimate. The prophet Balaam prophesied true things, because he himself was false that did not disqualify what he prophesied that was true.
A successful ministry, according to Jesus, is no guarantee of one’s salvation. That is a very daunting and frightening thing. One can do many mighty miracles, lead many people to Jesus, all of which are legitimate miracles and legitimate salvation-just as Judas did miracles when he was sent out with the other disciples to preach.
Judas was a legitimate disciple-even his being a disciple of the Lord Jesus was not a guarantee of his salvation-and we know that Judas went to hell.
Matthew 7:21: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 7:22: On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty work
Mensajes para el Remanente. Praise God for pastors like you. I live in a very small island though heavily populated still, we only amount to less than half a million .It is mainly a Roman Catholic country so imagine how fewer still Christians are . The sad thing is that half if not most of the leaders in the Christian church are either remarried or married to a divorcee. By the way divorce here have only been lawful for the last few years but straight into no fault divorce. Still, some of the leaders are foreigners so they come from a background were divorce was common and infortunately for some reason they seem to be on the front leading the sheep....pastors like you are rare when it comes to this teaching .Keep it up pastor.
He gave a clear interpretation of the scripture and then refused to believe the truth. He will be numbered with the false prophets. Let God be true, and every man a lie. Earthly marriage is a reflection of Christ relationship with the Church (His bride). The same way He would never leave her, husbands should never put away their spouse. The wife is not to leave the husband just as we are to be one with Christ. If we leave Christ to worship another, we commit adultery. We can only be right when we return to Christ. It's the same in marriage. He that hath an ear, let him hear.
And you will be numbered with the Pharisees who think they are just when they commit the same sins but no one knows it. He that looks on a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart.
@@patmelton43 Jesus was very clear. Stop calling a woman a Pharisee just cause you don’t like the truth, committing adultery and dying in that state will send you to hell and that’s a fact, many will say Lord Lord. If this woman was a Pharisee....she’d be a hypocrite and not telling you the truth
Amen, this is hard for many to hear
@@noellealdi881 The same one who said, do not commit adultery, also said, do not lie, cheat or steal. You cannot cherry pick your pet sins that you observe in others. You must be a Pharisee as well. Who appointed you to judge others? Anyway I am NOT living in adultery.
@@patmelton43 ma’am so far you’ve accomplished typing under everyone’s comment and use a plethora of derogatory terms such as “juSt wAiT foR juDgEmenT dAy”
Just like a Pharisee.....what made the Pharisees who they were was hypocrisy. The only time your argument would be valid was if I was remarried after a divorce, telling you to break off your current “marriage”
Kind of like a doctor telling you to get healthier while smoking a cigarette. If your living with a husband after getting a divorce, you’re living in adultery as the word of God says. Of course it’s going to hurt your feelings and sound horrible, but what makes fools and wise is their character, a wise person doesn’t hate the truth....they take it with grace. But a fool despises wisdom and everything you tell them will sound folly
Your husband isn’t worth going to hell over. Cause not only do you disobey God....you commit idolatry. Idolatry as in, you’ve created a God in your head that is perfectly fine with your repetitive sin
Your argument is also invalid because yes, we all sin and have fallen short, but the road is long and narrow and calls for CONSTANT repentance, which mean to turn away from your sin. Just because we’ve all sinned doesn’t allow you to continue in your sin.... many lukewarm Christians use this argument constantly, it’s honestly so tiresome
It’s not cherry picking if the title of this conversation is on the topic of remarriage, it’s called telling you the truth because it seems I care more about your soul than you do. You can either listen to God, or continue in sin. It’s your choice, but personally....NO ONE IS WORTH IT idc how good he makes you “feel” God says not to follow your heart it deceives you, follow Jesus
So humanism is the answer and not following the Word.
It’s not a doctrine it’s the Word of God and it’s very clear
You have to read it synoptically
Hosea and Gomer is a perfect example
I’d like to ask Paul one question: IF he says, remarriage is a sin, THEN, Where is Jesus’ atonement of our sins...?? Why are we held liable for the rest of the lives after His perfect atonement, which stops us from making an action of marriage that is normally a blessing....??
I feel for him but I am more concerned about the souls he is leading to fire
I AGREE WITH YOU NICK HAYES
He is leading people to hell and he himself will be thrown in hell for twisting Gods word.
Likewise. I had to thumbs down his video
😥
Who are you to judge? If God forgave David his adultery and murder, He can forgive any of us.
I have no idea as to where you are going with this.and this presentation is too convoluted to continue with...
L
Jeremiah 3:1 "If a man divorces his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's wife, will he return to her? Would not that land be greatly polluted?" This is another scripture that needs to be considered. There is no going back if you remarried.
@@ajlouviere202 it cites a law in Deuteronomy forbidding a man to take back his divorced wife if she has become another man's woman. Whether this is absolutely an abomination to God or targetting a kind of wife lending I can't figure out. would it require the divorce of a cheating woman instead of allowing forgiveness and keeping her if she quit and this had not become a public scandalyet?
@@ajlouviere202 the contract with God through Moses you had to be circumcised if male and keep certain holy days and food laws and the sabbath, indicator of God as sole creator Who then rested on the seventh day. there were some laws also whose purpose was more to isolate them from neighbors and cult approved elsewhere stuff.
then there were absolutes, the stuff God created us to be hard wired for and we lost that hard wiring in the Fall.
@@ajlouviere202 sigh why can't you people get the obvious? certain things are from the beginning they are not about covenants (a fancy word for contract). they are so required of eVERYONE that you should need no special revelation which is why there is a short three or four point list of why God destroyed Canaan. THEN ASIDE FROM THAT IS BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD which in Moses' time required certain externals (circumcision food laws holy days sabbath keepting ) that point to Christ and rescinded because fulfilled in Christ Who now being come in the flesh we don't follow the old contract identity rules.
We are in relationship (contract whatever you want to call it ) with The Father Through Jesus The Son's death and Resurrection and shed Blood. the original standards that PREDATE ANY CONTRACTS the original situaion in Eden not being a contract so much as a free relationship with some directions from God but the reltaionshp with God was from the creation of the beings, they not being in rebellion yet against God.
Because we are fallen though in baptism it is crippled and the stain removed, but some trace that can reactivate with personal choices remains, we are in contract in the manner of Abraham, with Christ the new Adam.
Abraham's circumcision and obedience came as an act growing from his faith (belief that affects action) in God, which was the foundation of the relationship with God, out of which grew obedience to God in specific issues.
@@ajlouviere202 He refers to this as "abomination" not many things are called that, though the food creeping things are called abominable or makingyourself abominable by eating them, and this was rescinded.
Its not just the Deuteronomical code its the whole 614 laws starting with 10 commandments. Some of which are open to negotiation some are not. for instance if it is about the priesthood, it doesn't count because anypriesthoods now are Melchizedec not aaronic. if it is aboiut something where the purpose is explained, if the purpose is flouted by doing it in some context but by not doing it in another then you look at intended vs. actual effects.
HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED ANY SIMILARITY BETWEEN THE MORALS IN THE tORAH AND PROPHETS AND THE MORALS IN THE nt? IF ANYTHING LATTER IS A BIT STRICTER, THOUGH THE NO MENTAL GAMES LIKE LUSTING IN YOUR HEART ARE IN THE CATEGORY OF THE 10TH COMMANDMENT ANYWAY,
pray for wisdom. you seem to think that there was no right and wrong of any kind without specific laws, but the only specific laws were tend the garden and keep it and don't eat of that particular tree in Eden, yet the couple were monogamous and not seeking additional mates when several more people many generations down from them were available to pick from or it would have been mentioned Lamech the rash and overreactive and prideful is the first mentioned polygamist. Jesus points to this "the beginning" in discussing divorce.
@@ajlouviere202 all right, my goof. 614 613 sorry. the point is they contain a lot of stuff some mosaic covenant indicator without which you were not in Israel others that are universal common sense others that are relevant to the Mosaic priesthood others that are standards of evidence, etc. etc. quarantine, hygiene. anything that can affect your neighbor (incl. family members) comes under the heading of love your neighbor as yourself, don't do what you wouldn't want done to you
It is not adultery if one is a believer and the other is not. The bible is specific that if your spouse will not serve God with you, then they are they a non believer. Jesus was also addressing the Jewish people here because a lot of divorce was taking place. Go to the original Hebrew and Greek. You must study this subject from a Hermenuetical stand point. Comparing OT with NT, and in original Hebrew and Greek translations. As certain words are translated and changed as they are put into English, there meaning can change as well. Study things in depth for yourselves verse just believing the Pastor and what culture says.
You stared that once saved always saved is a lie from the pit of hell! Can I asked the obvious question what life did Jesus die to give us?
the idea you can evidently turn away from the life that Jesus had offered you....
Why does everybody forget the except for fornication part there is a biblical divorce.
I have heard Christians tell those remarried to divorce. It is completely crazy.
Rosanna Miller Crazy Christians as you call them are actually doing it themselves. It is not a divorce in God's eyes but repentance from remarriage adultery.
There sure are a lot of people getting convicted by the Holy Spirit and doing just that! Only those who are born again have understanding.
Walking by the Spirit Always so according to you, only those that are remarried and divorce are those you believe are born again Christians? I don't believe any born again Christian believes that!!
I have heard logical arguments that are supported by Scripture from differing sides, on this topic.
So far, I have found 2 beliefs that are different, to be valid.
Yes it is crazy and the work of the Devil. God wants marriage to work even if we fail. Trying to make marriage work needs to be promoted. adultery is not a unforgivable sin. This is pure bullshit
@@jonanamar9931 just because something isn't unforgivable, it is foolishness to do something you know is a sin. Period.
Because you don't know when you will die.
"Is Jesus said supported by OT and NT?" Challenging Jesus' teaching ? #false teacher
Well, doesn’t the Bible give “allowances” for divorce in the cases of infidelity and abandonment by a non-believer?
If your spouses commits adultery you have biblical grounds for divorce. But, it should be looked at as also have biblical grounds to forgive depending on the situation.
In the case of abandonment, it says that if you are abandoned by a non-believer then you are free to remarry in the Lord. But if the non-believer is content to be with you, then you aren’t permitted to divorce them just because they aren’t Christian.
This also, by logic, applies to people who call themselves Christian. If your “Christian” spouse leaves you for another, God doesn’t expect you to just stay and wait. The quotation marks are because no Jesus believing Christian should abandon their spouses. Or to use the legal term “irreconcilable differences”.
I saw something about abuse, which would fall under abandonment. They have abandoned their spiritual and Godly duty to love and cherish you as their spouse. If your spouse beats on you, they have not only abandoned you, but God.
There are biblical allowance for divorce. However, I think, especially in the Western world, we divorce A LOT for reason not permissible by the Bible. Because for many problems we only need to look at what the Bible says about marriage: submit unto one another, husbands love your wives as Christ loves the church, wives honor your husbands as the church honors Christ, etc.
So while divorce is permissible, forgiveness and grace to those who trespass against you is more beneficial to the Christian.
Also, someone already mentioned it, but we all sin. If you’ve divorced before, repent from that. Repentance from divorce isn’t another divorce. That would be like saying, repentance for murder is another murder. Repentance is to not get another divorce. You’ve already sinned, there’s no take-backs. Ask for forgiveness and do better next time around.
Yes
Well said. Thank you.
There are many reasons why there is so much bad doctrine regarding divorce and remarriage. Part of it is the Argument from Silence. The assumption is that the only valid grounds for divorce are those explicitly named in the New Testament. So sexual immorality is a "permissible" ground for divorce, but domestic violence is not? That makes no sense to me.
Another reason : some church elders make an idol out of the marital institution. Does God value the institution of marriage more than people? Those who claim He does are engaging in blasphemy.
How many wives did them kings have? King David and all
Jesus makes it clear that adultery occurs in remarriage. This is stated clearly in the following passages:
"whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." (Matt. 5:32);
"whoso marrieth her which is divorced doth commit adultery" (Matt. 19:9);
"Whosoever shall divorce his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery." (Mark. 10:11,12);
"Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." (Lk. 16:18);
"So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man." (Rom. 7:3)
I think you must be careful here if you were married & sleep with another you have also committed Adultery .whether remarried or not.
@@barbaraa.walters8798 while in both instances it would be called adultery , the example you gave would be forgiven if repented of.
Whilst in the case of a remarriage is not forgiven because they are still in adultery.
When Jesus was talking about remarriage in Matt 5 and Matt 19, the word adultery is written in the present continuous tense thus making remarriage a continous sin unless repented of.
@Elgin Wells there are exceptions
Notice how all of the verses cited are in the New Testament. Remarriage cannot be the same as adultery or it would not have been permitted in the Mosaic Law.
Aren't you a saint for reminding others of their sin! Get that log out of your eye.
You willfully disobey God's word for your comfort and happiness. Unfortunately, you will find on the day of judgement that this adulterous marriage you are in was not worth your eternity in hell. Jesus states that there is no room for adulterers in heaven. Jesus said it plain and simple multiple times that you are bound to your spouse till death to you part. Period. I pray you accept the truth prior to your death in this life.
jenna338 And death could be any day! Also the end days are here so they will be left behind for Tribulation.
Amen!
jenna338 1 Thessalonians 4 is coming very soon. Check out Walking by the Spirit Always channel.
There is no doubt in my mind that Jesus is coming soon! We are most definitely in the end days. This world is So wicked! I will check out that channel. Don't know how this guys video even ended up on my feed. UA-cam is clearly trying to corrupt the minds of those seeking ritcheousness!
jenna338 I don't know if it is YT or the Holy Spirit bringing these false teaching videos up so people like you will boldly speak truth. If YT stays up, maybe people will find the record of what happened in our comments.
You seem to be promoting the more popular attitude toward D and R. . Unfortunately it is not what Jesus taught. How sad when teachers of the gospel become "sooth sayers" and speak what itching ears want to hear.
he making people children of hell they can pretend its not adultery then they can pretend there not in hell one day
You have the fruit of an apostate. Your language betrays you. Repent of your filthy language, if you claim to be a Christian, and come to the Lamb of God for forgiveness. Become a follower of Jesus who is meek and lowly of heart.Your filthy speech seems to be like the way your master speaks, not the way Jesus spoke.
Jesus said, " Bless those that curse you" Therefore, I bless you in Jesus' name.
Mensajes para el Remanente don't cry out loud. juat keep it inside. don't let the whole world hear it.
you will like wise perish if you dont follow Jesus His way. The world right now is following a false Christ and that includes you. If you think im lying then lets use Jesus words.
In Luke 14:33 Jesus said who so ever does not sell all that he has cannot become a Christian.
Here Jesus says that if you don't sell all that you own Then you are not a Christian. How many people claim to be a Christian but have not obeyed this command? The entire world. So this means that the entire world is following a Jesus that doesnt command you to sell it all and forsake your entire life.
Remarriage for any reason except death, is adultery per 1 Corinthians 7:39, Rom. 7:1-3. Divorce is only allowed because of sexual immorality, but not remarriage. The exception clause of Matt. 19:9 is only stated in response to the question of divorce, not remarriage. Luke 16:18 and Mark 10:11-12 also support this idea of remarriage being adultery.
The whole of scripture supports this. Jesus answered the Pharisees accordingly to Moses’ law, but to the disciples who would go into all the world and preach the gospel, He gave no exception clause. Paul gave no exception clause as well. Remarriage is purely self seeking because one does not want to reconcile with their spouse who is living. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 is our guide for remarriage.
AMEN
God had a purpose for us before we were born He knows everything about us and still loves us unconditional He sent His only begotten Son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins we are no longer slaves to sin He will never leave us nor forsake us
People work through people
He gave us the gift of faith as a token of His love
We pray in Jesus name and in God we trust
Amen
@@ajlouviere202 No it isn't. Remarriage is never condemned anywhere in Scripture, except in the one circumstance that Jesus describes in Matthew 19. If remarriage per se is adultery, Deuteronomy 24 would have read very different.
I love the Lord....He heard my cry!
Amen
I recommend a very good UA-cam video by David Pawson on divorce and remarriage.
he is the most transparent, hard hitting, and free of emotion presentation....ever...
@@philipbuckley759 Are you talking about David Pawson or this guy?
No matter what anyone says. Jesus said you can only get married once, if it fails then thats it. One partner for life and if you marry again for any reason it will always be adultery and you will go to hell. That is the truth and you people need to live with it.
What God joins let no man seperate.
...unless your original marriage partner is no longer living. Then yes, you can remarry and it’s not considered adultery.
You don't believe God forgives that sin? And no other sin can be forgiven and the sin of dying without Jesus is the only sin to go to hell for?
Rick Myres what I believe is irrelevant. What matters is what God’s word says about it.
I was not replying to you it was Luke 14:33 anyway. I even clicked reply under that one.
Rick Myres i know that the sin of adultery can be forgiven. I also was under adultery for a long time but just like everything else, repentance has evidence. I was sorry i was committing adultery and so i stopped with my adultery. Ive learned to be celibate and understand that life is about rendering an acceptable service to God.
Its not about me or my wants, its about God and what He wants and i underdtand that now.
The Bible states that you cannot remarry your first spouse if she has married someone else and divorced that person.
My wife treats me like a total garbage is it God's will for me to put up with that the rest of my life and I guess According to some people if you have ever been divorced that means you're going to go to hell if you ever remarry I don't believe that
In short NO
David Ciulla so jesus is wrong
But, didn't you say, "Til death do us part" with your 1st Wife?! 0:34
There are 3 entries to this, go to the bottom of these 3, this is the last one go down 2 more .
ADULTERY
The question rarely looked at in Matt 5;32 ..is if the wife is divorced, and
being divorced is legally separated from Her marriage, why is both the woman
and man in their new marriage, both in adultery if divorce dissolves the
original marriage?.
The Lord was being very clear about this, not for His benefit but for ours.
If we do not repent and have to give an account for it ("Sin") as stated by
The Lord in Matthew 12 ;36-37,..... do you really believe that adultery will be
overlooked on judgment day, given that the bible clearly states that
"Adulterers will have their part in the lake of fire ".
But if You look carefully, that if a man divorces his
wife and she remarries, she is in adultery, and the man who marries her becomes
an adulterer also. You can see Gods view of marriage as stated earlier is.....
“Let no man separate” ask yourself this question - why do we publicly state on
our wedding day without exception, “for better or worse” and “till death do us
part”?.(A binding life long covenant that used to be taught and upheld by the church and state)
No one ever has exceptions ,in their wedding vows, but its actually the opposite,...... For better or worse, "Till death do us part", the principals of the vows come from Jesus, An exception would be a contadiction to the vows themself.
In support of this principal, Paul in Romans 7;2-3 and 1 Corinthians 7;39
states a woman must stay married to her husband as long as he is alive, But
if her husband dies, she is made free from the "LAW OF MARRIAGE", and is able
to remarry. You see " the law of marriage" didn't start at the time of the Mosaic Law.
The Law of marriage started "in the beginning".
To show in The Lord there are no gender differences, Mark 10;10 reveals...
"Later, when the followers and Jesus were in the house, they asked him again
about the question of divorce. He said, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries
another woman has sinned against his wife. He is guilty of adultery. And the
woman who divorces her husband and marries another man is also guilty of
adultery". Also read Luke 16;18
CLOSING WORDS
In these last days we are being let down by our "Leaders" ( Both Christian and
Secular). The Lord stated "In the last days there will be false teachers"... Paul stated in 2 Timothy 4;3-4 "The time will come when people will not
listen to sound teaching. But people will find more and more teachers who please
them. They will find teachers who say what they want to hear. People will stop
listening to the truth".The greatest example of what happens when one makes a covenant and breaks it,
is clearly seen between Israel and God.
Israel's history has shown,.... covenant breaking brings about judgment, pain, and
ultimately separation from God.Paul states in 1 Thessalonians 5;19-24 "Don’t stop the work of the Holy Spirit.
Don’t treat prophecy like something that is not important. BUT TEST EVERTHING.
Keep what is good, and stay away from everything that is evil". We pray that God
himself, the God of peace, will make you pure-belonging only to him. We pray
that your whole spirit, soul, and body-will be kept safe and be "BLAMELESS"
when our Lord Jesus Christ comes. The one who chose you will do that for you.
You can trust him.....""If we"" , AS STATED "stay away from everything that is evil"
To Repent means to stop doing what You know is wrong and start doing the right.
Sometimes correcting sin comes at great cost. Do not trust Me or anybody else
on such important issues, pray and read the scriptures seek the Word of God (Jesus)
earnestly for the answers, if this affects You.Our God is a great God of Love and Mercy and wants to help you please Him.
Remember Jesus said " Many are Called but Few are chosen" Paul said in
2 Corinthians 2;-15 "We are being Saved" We havent finished the race Yet,
We are in the engagement period of our soon to be marriage to the "Groom" Jesus.....
Jesus said...... " Those that ENDURE to the end will be saved".
Read Ezra 10;1-4 these Jews recognized the wrong and corrected it.Also read Malachi 2;14 You ask, “Why are our gifts not accepted?” It is because the Lord saw the evil things you did-he is a witness against you. He saw you cheat on your wife. You have been married to her since you were young. She was your girlfriend. Then you made your vows to each other-and she became your wife. 15 God wants husbands and wives to become one body and one spirit. Why? So that they would have holy children and protect that spiritual unity. Don’t cheat on your wife. She has been your wife from the time you were young.
16 The Lord, the God of Israel, says, “I hate divorce, and I hate the cruel things that men do. So protect your spiritual unity. Don’t cheat on your wife.”
17 You have taught wrong things, and it makes the Lord very sad. People were doing evil things, but you said that this pleased the Lord and that he accepted those things. And you taught that God does not punish people for the evil they do.
If we think we can neglect what God breathed scripture tells us and get away with it we will be sadly mistaken.
Above ALL seek God's will for Your life not man's..... Seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit , and Get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
Remember most of Gods truth is in the Scriptures. But we need the Spirits guidance.
Also the point of scripture, is not to read and feel good because we read it, but with the sprits guidance to do it.God Bless You.
Well, do you believe adultery is covered in Jesus's sacrifice? Or are you asserting that this is an unforgivable sin? If so, give me scripture to support your position.
@@patmelton43 Hi Pat, all sins are covered in Jesus sacrifice, but only when genuine repentance is enacted, would you agree with that?.... if not please give me scripture to support that thought please. Are you putting forward that if a drunk came to repentance and salvation,... and continued to be a drunk that he is still going to get to the kingdom of God, although he is still in his sin (Unrepentant)?
The scriptures reveal what Ädultery is .
Romans 7;2 "For the woman which hath an husband is BOUND by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be DEAD, she is LOOSED from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an ADULTERESS: but if her husband be dead, she is FREE from that law; so that she is NO adulteress, though she be married to ANOTHER man." (The same principal applies to men as seen in Mark and Luke)
We can all make arguments for whatever reason to support our own views , but the scriptures clearly reveal the truth, if we would be honest with ourselves we would recognize that the old testament if full of the dead bodies of disobedient people who were both Gods chosen people and not, but the one thing they had in common was the lack of repentance to a merciful God who would of accepted their cries, as the Lord did with David.
The New testament is full of warnings about what will happen if we don't repent and "Walk in the light , as He is in the light because it is when we do that (Walk in the light) , that " we have fellowship with one another" ...and.... "The Blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness"
"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God".... "God is no mocked , for as a man sows so shall he also reap.
@@markeveringham4673 Why are you giving me this harangue? Do you have some kind of beef with me? Are you accusing me of something? Spit it out. And quit this useless talking in circles.
I will go by what Jesus said about adultery. And it is until death do we part.
Fine, but don't condemn others to a lonely life.
So ... whom God brings together let no man put asunder...so I guess God made some big mistakes or... God did not bring those people together...

Exactly
Very good sir, your are blessed. Divorced is a wrong act that God hates . Yes your correct you must stay married or single or reconciled.
charlie frazier Stay married to your first spouse and don't get remarried. People are reconciling 5-17 years after they were divorced in the eyes of the state.
Truth Triumphs my wife has divorced me and have remarried. What now must i do?
charlie frazier You are still married in God's eyes. She is committing adultery. You intercede in prayer for her to repent. I even know a man whose wife divorced him and she remarried twice. I told her the truth that she was still married to him. She accepted the truth and they have gotten back together. They are happy like they have never been before . The crazy thing is they had been separated for 21 years, so I hope it won't be very long for you. Hosea is a story you should get very familiar with and pray hard for her. Keep your own garments clean and don't commit adultery yourself.
@@TruthTriumphsOnlyLordJesus You wrote- I even know a man whose wife divorced him and she remarried twice (adultery?) Ok, so who really committed adultrey? The bible says not to go back to one U have been married to before. If they have remarried. I read my bible all the time- I love the Lord- divorce is not the unforgivable sin- the blood of christ covers us- to become a blameless child of christ- If people are not saved until later on in their life, and they have had 2 marriages- and they depend on the grace of God to forgive ALL sins- Do You think he wants to keep throwing that sin in our faces - so all sins were not forgiven when they repented? - especially when they have such sorrow for not knowing about God or his word? They did not intentionally sin - because they did not understand. God forgives murder- Jesus did not like divorce- but it was "allowed" Of course he didnt like it- because it was not what he intended. My ex beat me- pushed me out of a moving car- caused the death of a child (unborn) we had two children. He married many times- God got a hold of him- But- as for divorce- sometimes to keep living U have to exit a marriage. I forgave him. But not until years later- I had to work a lot out of my mind with God's help- If people knew Gods word it is doubtful they would remarry- But i believe by Gods grace I was forgiven for ALL my sins- I brought each and every one of them to HIM, verbally, with much sorrow, Sooooo........I see stuff on this page and see some unmerciful people who forget that God's mercy extended to them and they should extend that mercy to others - Or maybe God will stop being merciful to them. God is compassion, mercy, His grace, His Love, Yes I know what Jesus said, and i also know the old covenant does not stand, and i know Jesus will go after every lost sheep- Now back to what you wrote- she divorced him (for what) she remarried twice (but even if she commits adultery its ok if she goes back to him, Hmmm, does this cause her husband commit adultery now? So If I asked my husband who was a adultrey commiting fool to divorce me - after i filed twice- who is the adulterer? Neither of us went to church- we knew nothing of God- The God I serve forgave me of everything - He is a merciful God - There is ONLY one unforgivable sin in the bible. ONE. If that man in that video has asked and repented and turned away from all his past sins- if he is a new creature in christ jesus - then he is- a personal relationship with christ- So many pharrisses on these comments- People dont tear up their homes, their children and separate them when they get saved- when they have a sorrowfull contrite heart- they try to go forward as a new creation - not dig into past sins to try to FIX it- Jesus died for all SINS - He said, It's finished.
@@valeriadavis8239 Excuses and soon Jesus comes for His pure Bride
Lest than 2 minutes in..."cast the first stone".....smh
Sad how those who find themselves living in sin doesn't love God as much as family. Luke 14 should be followed.
Matthew 19:9 is clear as day: 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.”
Sexual immorality on the part of your spouse is the exception.
Ya’ll who think the Bible is clear on this don’t understand the language it was written in. Look up the video, “Divorce, Remarriage and Putting Away,” for a forensic dissection of the original language and culture this command was given in. English doesn’t carry the colloquial understanding of the “putting away” cultural norm of Jewish tradition.
also what about a woman who is divorced and remarries but she is having a child what should she do
