“Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman. She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God. Entering her house leads to death; it is the road to the grave. The man who visits her is doomed. He will never reach the paths of life.” Proverbs 2:16-19
I have used this bible verse to a woman pastor whom I used to live with, but what I got is a negative and violent reaction because she lets this twice divorced man live with her in her house for their upcoming business..I was just asking what is her understanding about this verse and actually this woman pastor doesn't want to talk about verses that teach Divorce and Remerriage and I haven't heard her teaching that to her church member even pastors in their main church, they encourage other church members to commit the sin if Adultery by marrying another spouse when the marriage is being Annulled..BTW I am from the Philippines...
Matthew 19:10 The disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” -(This is how serious marriage is! They recognized it by their answer!)
Malachi 2:16 “For the man or woman who does not love their spouse but divorces them, says the Lord, the God of Israel, covers his garment with violence, says the Lord of hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless.” The covenant of marriage is very serious in God’s eyes only broken by death and He does not take it lightly as our culture has & changed it’s views. The LORD does not change - Malachi 3:6. Amen! Thank God He doesn’t sway like we do.
Matthew 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. MANY will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you (Bible John 1:1 The Word was God); depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!
Pray for my husband he is committing adultery with another woman and is not in the home because of it. I love him and want him to come back to me. He needs Jesus. His name is James
Jackie Dunn reading your comment a year later and I hope and pray things are better for you now. Whatever happens we need to trust God and leave all the consequences to him.
I’m just praying that you already have an established good, substantial life insurance policy (with you as the beneficiary of death benefit) and that your husband dies quickly in a fiery car crash…then God gradually but no more than a year later…brings you an even better man to be your husband who is extremely faithful, gorgeous and successful…treats you like the queen that you are and loves you the right way ❤…I want you to have better ❤
@@FarewellAphroditethat kind of prayer is of the devil. Wishing death on someone. The Lord can save unto the uttermost. I know it’s wrong what he is doing but praying for death is horrible. You need to repent
Mathew 6:14-15 For if you forgive those who sin against you your heaven Father will forgive you. But if you do NOT forgive others sins your heavenly Father will not forgive your sins!
John 14:23 Jesus replied, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words.
Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor(reverence) among ALL, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous!!!
“It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, except on the grounds of porneia (sexual immorality), makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Matthew 5:31-32) crystal clear.
You're right with that..a lot of pastors are twisting this word just to give justice with the wrong practice which is being in an ADULTEROUS marriage..
I need your prayers,JESUS please keep porn away from me. amen.i love my wife I don't cheat but every now and then I get weak.prayer brothers and sisters please send some my way. thank you
+roger twitty definitely just lifted up a prayer for you, brother. You're doing the right thing by calling on Jesus. Remember He is able to keep you from falling in this area. Also, remember that your marriage is a partnership where you pray for each other when you are weak. I hope you will have the courage to tell your wife and pray WITH her about this issue. Also, seek a Christian brother who can be your accountability partner to help keep you on the right track. The devil wants to destroy marriages but God is powerful enough to keep it together, and to keep you faithful to your wife!
VeggieNutritionDoctor thank you so much,I fight to bring the light to others so hard that sometimes I forget about my weak spots.i believe jesus will be back very soon,(in our life time soon )the pope is starting his 1 world religion,rumors of wars every where.man loving thy self more than GOD (selfies) man sleeping with man (gay marriage)devil worship made to look like good (illuminati ) in all entertainment. 666 in Verizon comercials,666 in taco bell logo,monster energy drinks,the TV show called angel from hell and the number 1 show lucifer......anyway thank you for you encouraging words and prayers . JESUS is LORD. GOD bless you my friend..........oh yeah new world order is right around the corner. We christians will be persecuted. Be strong
the Lord told us to come as we are to him because he is mighty to save. Matthew 11 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. As once the old time reformer once said "When I look to myself and the conditions that I am in and all the struggle that I face in this walk of faith, how can I be ever saved. But then when I look to Jesus How can I be ever lost."- Martin Luther. the Lord said" Look unto me and be saved." David also was struggling with the addiction that he encounters in life, he murdered Uriah and committed adultery with Bathsheba. He was really struggling with it until He made a prayer to the Lord." How can a young man cleanse his way?By taking heed unto thy word."PS 119:11. the lord works in us through the power of his Holy Spirit. changing and transforming us into the image of Christ. we must have to surrender our will unto His and let Jesus control it. let us be lead by the Spirit so that we should not do the deeds of the flash.
Ask for humility and strength and faith to withstand. Don't commit adultery just for fornication or adultery and pornography is sex the wrong way because it makes you lust after other people why because you truly looking for sex in the wrong place.
tell all of this, to John the Baptist who died for telling someone that it was not lawful to be married to his brothers wife....he did not say....confess this sin, and stay with her....
Amazing... I was thinking the same thing when I heard him say unbelievers get a new start at marriage when they come to faith in Christ. I was like... but didn't John the Baptist get killed for rebuking and denouncing Herod and Herodias's marriage? She was his brother's wife. Period.
@@MrBlack-pj1jk Herod was not rebuke for divorcing his wife and marry another woman.He was rebuked because he married his brother's wife.Not for having another wife.For Kings and men of wealth at this time had more then one wife and concubines also.So Herod was rebuked for marrying his brother's wife.That's why John told Herod it is not lawful for him to have his brother's wife.Because the law told the Jewish people that a man did not suppose to uncover his brother's nakedness or his brother's wife.So that was the reason of Herod being rebuked.It had nothing to do with Herod divorcing his wife and marrying another woman.Nor did it have anything to do with Herod having another wife.Herod had uncovered his brother's Phillip nakedness or his wife by marrying her.I keep hearing people say that Herod was rebuked As a sinner for taking another wife or for divorcing his wife and marrying his brother's wife.And that is not true.Herod uncovered his brother's nakedness or his wife.That was the reason he was rebuked.
@@pastorshandonevangkimlaellis I totally agree. It was unlawful under Moses's law to have your next of kin as your spouse. I also agree with Jesus Christ concerning a permanent union of male and female under God. He certainly means what he says. John the Baptist was bold and loving enough to warn Herod about his unlawful union just like we the believers in Christ Jesus have to be by siding with Him, upholding His position on marriage. Thanks and God bless 🙏
@@MrBlack-pj1jk Yes Sir,I agree with JESUS teaching about marriage also.But I am asking KING JESUS,What about the sinner.Do GOD really hold the sinner to the same standard as the saint,as far as divorce and remarriage is concerened?The sinner don't know what GOD'S WORD say about divorce and remarriage.The sinner have no covenant with GOD,Seperated from GOD,Lost,a pagan,not born again,not HOLY SPIRIT Filled,a child of the devil,a child of wrath,enemies of GOD,With no relationship with GOD.Most sinners are drunk or high when the marry.They are doing the electric slide after the wedding. 😂!So my question is,do GOD hold them to the one flesh union like HE do the Saint.I agree that GOD acknowledge when sinners marry but do HE hold them to the same standard as the saint?
Malachi 2:1 For I HATE divorce says the LORD! The 7th Commandment Thou Shall NOT commit Adultery! The Moral Law (10 Commandments) written on our hearts will Never be done away with.
1 Corinthians 7:10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11 But if she does, she Must Remain Unmarried OR else Be Reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
at 47:00 "you can unscramble scrambled eggs", well that is sometimes the problems with grammatical tenses and bible translations, because actually Paul comments on that in 1 Cor 7:11 like this: "but if she HAS departed, let her remain alone or be reconciled". I take that to mean that marriages before coming to Christ also count. So, there is not a "fresh start" with respect to marriage.
Correct ! He had to put that man made concession in his sermon to retain the church members that are in that state . Not to mention bathshebas husband was dead which by the law allowed her to remarry. Thus freeing her to be married to King david . David knew that , that's why he killed Uriah . This pastor is wrong in this teaching
@@brotherj1405 the problem with the David situation was one of course he committed murder, and two he coveted which is a commandment and he broke it. He lusted, which led to sin. And the Bible says lust when it's mature leads to sin and sin in the end leads to death. So even if he could remarry her, that was beside the problem.
I am divorced. My ex committed spiritual adultery hiding that he was an abuser. After he lied to me to get married I found out he broke his first wife's arm then threw both her and her daughter out in the street. I filed for divorce immediately. He nearly killed me after losing my unborn son because of his selfishness. I feel I am free to remarry. The Lord spoke to me about the law of divorce. It was given because of the hardness of heart. It is worse now than ever before. Remember that women have been unable to support themselves and their children. In His time they would starve to death without a husband. How could He tell them the things we think He implied in light of this?
Stay still and pray! Did he remarry! My did, but he left the adulteror in Nov.then God reconciliated us and we moved together for the house that he bought, but in march 19 he got squisofrenic_paranoic one and kicked me out of the house and went back to the adulteror! I'm praying and.waitting.for the Lord to convict him of satan's adultery and bring him back as a changed man!
I'm 22, committed sexual immorality with a girl and then married her. eventually she left me and moved on to the next guy. I've recently repented and starting a new life. am I to remain single until her destructive lifestyle (gangs, clubs, acting in porn, etc.) results in a (God forbid) premature death? I need answers. I love Jesus with all my heart but sometimes I still ache for physical love and companionship in a mate. idunno. I'll remain single if that's what Jesus says cause I love and fear him more than the physical world. it seems like Christianity is greatly divided in this topic so I don't know who to listen to.
Thank u for this I always felt like the person that cheats on there spouse just gets away with it... Cause the other spouse just end up being a fool in the dark cause they never get caught so ..Cause if god is a forgiving God then that's all they have to do is ask God to forgive them and then it will be so and all the hurt they cause the other person """"WiIFE""". Is water under the bridge..?? 😒😞
Yes Indeed thank you father for keep me strong in your path obey your Commandments and thank you Dear Lord and father I pray that you continue helping me let me be the woman you want me to be the daughter you want me to be thank you so much Dear Lord AMEN ♥ 🙏.
Luke 16:18 “Jesus said: Whosoever/anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Greek present continuous tense or state of being)
You are correct sister! Anyone who researches this can clearly come up with that conclusion I don't know how these preachers keep Miss guiding people Straight to Hell according to the Bible.
I like Doug Batchelor's teachings but I do not completely agree with some of this one. From what I've read in the bible and many agree, is that the only time a person can remarry is after a spouse dies. Adultery may be reason for divorce but it does not say you can remarry. That's a pretty important part for Jesus to have left out if that's what he meant. Plus it is only mentioned in Matthew and Matthew was speaking to the Jews. I believe that Matthew was referring to the Jewish betrothal (engagement) period. Joseph considered "putting away" (divorcing) Mary when he found out she was pregnant. They were not married at that time but in the betrothal period. During that period people were considered to be 'married' and if you found out that your partner/spouse had been 'unclean' you could hand them a certificate of divorce so that you could both move on and marry someone else. Once the actual marriage takes place though, I believe that people are married until death parts them.
raymond kenner wow; that is not only reading to your own convenience, but you are adding words. Paul did not say that, for in the same Chapter confirmed Jesus´s words: "39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. If her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but only if he loves the Lord." If they get apart is for for remarrying, was to turn back to God again! and in the same chapter saids; either you go back to your wife or remain single! Do not add WORDS to the bible! prove it! It does not said Abuse or infidelity. the word was PORNEIA that means when the bride was not virging to her fiancee. So study the bible carefully before leading people to the wrong way.
sweetangelstronger I do think God is bigger than our sins. Have you ever lived with abuse? 1 Cor 7:15-16 @1Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. @1For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?The scripture seems clear enough. Is it good to let children see a mother or father abuse their spouse? This scripture is clear.
+raymond kenner exactly I was abused by my ex husband,i would never want him again,he is not only dangerous to me but my child,my child is grown up now hes 17 but i will never go back to my ex,but would hope to find a christian spouse
+just1musicfan You got it right brother. Peace be on to you. I see that the Spirit of Truth, the Voice of Our Shepherd is not a foreign voice to HIS sheep. What I have noticed though, is that pastors and teachers of His Word, bend and twist scripture to fit their understanding and/or lifestyle of someone close to them. For instance, if pastor's wife, husband, daughter, son, grandkid, friend, etc... is living in an adulterous relationship while his/her spouse is still alive; he would justify it and not only do harm to his son and family, but he would teach the WHOLE congregation and lead entrusted sheep straight into the pits of Hell because He loved his son, daughter, wife, friend, himself more than Jesus and His Word.
James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?
I am Catholic as was my ex-wife. In May 1993, we married in a beautiful Catholic wedding ceremony. I thought it was the beginning of a lifetime of happiness with the love of my life. But 42 days later, she chose to abandon the marriage because of my refusal to allow her grandmother to move in and live with us permanently. She told me that unless I changed my mind, allowed her to move in, and for her to take her "rightful place" as the head of our household, she would not live with me. I tried for almost a year to save the marriage but she would not budge from her position. Sadly, divorce was the only option left. So what does God say about my situation? Have I sinned by putting her away? Am I bound to her forever, and forbidden to remarry?
You have more problems than a failed marriage. You married into the GREAT HARLOT of rev 17.[Spiritually speaking]What do expect? And the Pope is the pimp for her. She is drunken with the blood of the saints. Until you square with that you will not pass go or collect your 200 dollars.
The Bible never said sexual immorality...it said fornication meaning when 2 people are engaged as Joseph and Mary were...Any divorced person that is having sex is committing adultery ...
I don't agree that a Christian would have to live with someone addicted to pornography, and who is unrepentant. I agree that children should be protected from a man looking at paedophile sites, however, to suggest that a woman does not deserve a safe home is disrespectful! Are children worth more, or more vulnerable, or more deserving than a woman? Or mistreated man? Abuse is not to be overlooked. Sometimes God expects us to overcome evil situations, trusting in Him to guide us, and keep us. But to be forced to cooperate with perversion or filth, or abuse is not a small thing. Any person seeking to draw close to the Lord would struggle with the conflict used by evil principalities and powers to undermine and torture a believer! In such circumstances, it is wise to seek God's intervention and wisdom, and a godly resolution.
Y'all are so worried about this one sin and not even thinking about the hundreds of other sins you've committed today alone mostly without even realizing it. If you sin once or break one law you break them all. There are over 600 laws . Not just the big 10. How many of them do you think you've probley broken today ? Y'all are making it all about what man does and the rightioness of man and less about the blood of Jesus
Yes. You were in an unlawful marriage. You were married to another man's wife if he was still living. You have never been lawfully married in the eyes of God. You may remarry but only to a never married woman, a widow, or someone like yourself. And only in the Lord.
No. If they were rightfully divorced, your marriage to your spouse is God ordained and binding most likely. If you and your spouse began your relationship in adultery, and never had a time of repentence and recompense, God never saw/sees you as married and you wouldnt be free to marry until true repentence, a change of behavior for a period of time, pastoral guidance etc... and the innocent spouse is free to remarry, but the offending spouse has a hard road to travel to become worthy of a marriage covenant again. And no bible teaching church or pastor would marry the unfaithful spouse before certain criteria was met, over a decent period of time (years usually)
8:00 being one flesh interpreted to mean, the sexual union. No this is mistaken. They are one flesh before they ever have sex. How else would it be that Eve was flesh of Adams flesh, and that was before they came together? And the Bible say that likewise shall it be with every (lawfully) married couple. They are one flesh before they ever start on a one-flesh-relationship ! Bingo !
Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ 7 ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife,[a] 8 and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. 9 What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” 10 And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. 11 And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, 12 and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
Please don’t just take any teacher’s word for things. Do your own studying. Since I have studied this topic for hundreds of hours, let me help. In Matthew 19:3-9, Christ emphasized the importance of marriage to a nation of men who had failed to uphold its sanctity. He then discusses the grounds for divorce. Divorce is not God’s moral will or design. Moses permitted men to divorce because of the hardness of their hearts. In Matthew 5:32, Jesus gave the exception clause: “But I say to you…” and repeated it again in Matthew 19:9: “Except for the cause of unchastity.” Unchastity comes from the Greek word ‘porneia’ and is a more comprehensive term than adultery. Porneia has different meanings involving sexual immorality, uncleanness, indecency, misconduct, indiscretion or unfaithfulness. Many translations render this word as ‘fornication’ or ‘sexual immorality’. Divorce was only on the grounds of unchastity - some violation of sexual morality. Even in the case of “unchastity,” divorce was not commanded but allowed. Divorce is not God’s design for marriage; divorce is humanity’s failure to keep God’s design. It is not, however, the unpardonable sin. Can a person be divorced, marry again, and expect the favor of God? Craig Blomberg gives an answer to that question: “Ancient Jews (like Greeks and Romans) almost universally agreed that lawful divorce granted a person the right to remarry. So Jesus’ words would almost certainly have been taken as permission for remarriage when divorce was permitted, i.e., after marital unfaithfulness.” (Matthew 5:32) "whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery." (Matthew 19:9) "whoever marries her who is put away commits adultery." Therefore we can define adultery for a married person as: An act of sexual union with any person, other than their own lawful spouse in the sight of God. Now we go to 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. Therefore, if one is no longer bound by the marriage covenant, it means no longer the lawful spouse in the sight of God. The innocent party is called to peace and therefore permitted to remarry. Concerning Pornography: You need to look at the DEFINITIONS of words and the application to Scripture. Watch… Fornication is ANY immoral sexual behavior!!! It covers the multitude of sexual sins. Adultery is ANY fornication by one who is married!!! Engaging in any such sin becomes adultery. Fornication (Gr. πορνεία, Gtr. porneia) is a general word for various types of unlawful sexual acts. In the physical sense, it may include adultery in the married relationship, sex between unmarried persons, prostitution (including PORNography), incest, rape, homosexuality, bestiality, etc., and the interpretation of this word depends upon the context in which it is used. As Jesus used it in the context of marriage (Matthew 5:32; 19:9), fornication can be defined as, "any sexual activity which is unlawful in God's sight, which will exclude the offenders from the kingdom of God, and bring His judgment upon them if they do not repent (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21; Hebrews 13:4; Revelation 21:8; 22:15). A man who commits fornication sins against his own body (1 Corinthians 6:18). FORNICATE, v.i. [L. fornicor, from fornix, a brothel.] To commit lewdness, as an unmarried man or woman, or as a married with an unmarried man or woman. FORNICATION, n. [L. fornicatio.] 1. The incontinence or lewdness of unmarried persons, male or female; also, the criminal conversation of a married man with an unmarried woman. 2. Adultery. Matthew 5:32. 3. Incest. 1 Corinthians 5:1. 4. Idolatry; a forsaking of the true God, and worshipping of idols. 2 Chronicles 21:11; Revelation 19:2. FORNICATOR, n. 1. An unmarried person, male or female, who has criminal conversation with the other sex; also, a married man who has sexual commerce with an unmarried woman. [See Adultery.] 2. A lewd person. 3. An idolater. FORNICATRESS, n. An unmarried female guilty lewdness.. NWAD FORNICATION.1-NWAD FORNICATRESS.1 ADULTERY, n. [L. adulterium. See Adulterate.] 1. Violation of the marriage bed; a crime, or a civil injury, which introduces, or may introduce, into a family, a spurious offspring. By the laws of Connecticut, the sexual intercourse of any man, with a married woman, is the crime of adultery in both: such intercourse of a married man, with an unmarried woman, is fornication in both, and adultery of the man, within the meaning of the law respecting divorce; but not a felonious adultery in either, or the crime of adultery at common law, or by statute. This latter offense is, in England, proceeded with only in the ecclesiastical courts. In common usage, adultery means the unfaithfulness of any married person to the marriage bed. In England, Parliament grant absolute divorces for infidelity to the marriage bed in either party; and the spiritual courts divorce a mensa et thoro. 2. In a scriptural sense, all manner of lewdness or unchastity, as in the seventh commandment. 3. In scripture, idolatry, or apostasy from the true God. Jeremiah 3:8, 9. 4. In old laws, the fine and penalty imposed for the offense of adultery. 5. In ecclesiastical affairs, the intrusion of a person into a bishopric, during the life of the bishop. 6. Among ancient naturalists, the grafting of trees was called adultery, being considered as an unnatural union.. NWAD ADULTERY.1-NWAD ADULTERY.9 LEWD, a. [Heb.] 1.

Πορνεία Is Not Limited to Immoral Sexual Intercourse In Matthew 5:32 and 19:9, πορνεία refers primarily to physical adultery, but there are not sufficient lexical grounds for concluding that πορνεία must always refer only to immoral sexual intercourse. Further, there are theological grounds for not limiting πορνεία to immoral sexual intercourse. Lexically, πορνεία is the broadest term to describe sexual sin. For example, “In the Pauline writings the word group [πορνεύω, πορνεία, πόρνη, πόρνος, ἐκπορνεύω] evidently denotes any kind of illegitimate sexual activity.”38 Theologically, there is a figurative aspect of πορνεία: “There are numerous passages where, in imitation of the Heb., πορνεύω and its cognates are used fig. of unfaithfulness to God, who is portrayed as a husband to Israel.... It is thus not primarily the sexual intercourse that shocks the prophets, but the absolute lack of personal faithfulness.”39 Consequently, πορνεία does not refer only to immoral sexual intercourse. It can also refer to sexual sins that do not involve intercourse. For example, although the NT authors who use the word πορνεία obviously were not thinking of being addicted to internet pornography, by implication πορνεία can apply to that-similar to how “Do not get drunk with wine” (Eph 5:18) also implies that you should not get drunk “with beer, whiskey, rum, vodka, or champagne.”40 Indulging in pornography is a type of sexual immorality that could be grounds for divorce.41 Churches and their elders should deal with such situations on a case-by-case basis.42 Instone-Brewer, “Divorce,” 215: “The term porneia and its cognates are used in the NT to refer to visiting a prostitute (1 Cor 6:13-15, 18), incest (1 Cor 5:1), general sexual sin by a married person (1 Cor 7:2), use of cultic prostitutes (Rev 2:20-21) and the sin of the ‘whore of Babylon’ (Rev 17:2, 4; 18:3; 19:2). The most common meaning is general ‘sexual immorality’ (e.g., Acts 15:20; Eph 5:3; Col 3:5). This family of words is used outside the NT with the same wide range of meanings.” See also Thomas R. Edgar, “Divorce and Remarriage for Adultery or Desertion,” in Divorce and Remarriage: Four Christian Views, ed. H. Wayne House, Spectrum Multiview Books (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 1990), 162-87; Keener, And Marries Another, 28-33; MacArthur, Divorce Dilemma, 23-24, 47-48. John Piper’s view has at least three problems: 1. It seems to commit the exegetical fallacy of appealing to unknown or unlikely meanings.33 Piper’s argument hinges on Matthew’s using πορνεία in a peculiar way that differs from its standard usage in the rest of the NT and other contemporaneous literature. “If anything, porneia should mean more than adulterous infidelity.”
Commentary (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2013), 561: “‘Sexual immorality’ is broader than pure adultery. For instance, I believe that pornography violates this passage and is grounds for divorce.” See Luke Gilkerson, “Pornography Use as Grounds for Divorce” (MA thesis, Reformed Theological Seminary, 2015). From the abstract: “This thesis demonstrates (1) Jesus gives grounds for divorce in cases of πορνείᾳ (porneia) in Matthew 19:9, (2) the various ways commentators have attempted to define porneia, (3) rightly understood, porneia essentially means sexual rebellion, and (4) when the nature of modern pornography is properly understood, especially against the background of first century prostitution in the Roman Empire, it becomes clear pornography use can most certainly be considered porneia in its own right.” See also Frame, The Doctrine of the Christian Life, 775-76; David Murray, “Divorce for Pornography?,” Head, Heart, Hand: Informing Minds, Moving Hearts, Directing Hands, 9 September 2015, headhearthand.org/blog/ 2015/09/09/divorce-for-pornography/; Newheiser, Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage, 240-41. For a more tentative approach, see Storms, Tough Topics 2, 231-32. Cf. Kyle Harper, “Porneia: The Making of a Christian Sexual Norm,” Journal of Biblical Literature 131 (2012): 363-83. 42This may raise practical questions about how to discern when a spouse’s πορνεία apart from sexual intercourse may be a ground for divorce. It is a wisdom issue-just like excommunication for such behavior is a wisdom issue. For example, a professing Christian man who unrepentantly refuses to stop indulging in pornography and visiting strip clubs is in a different category than a professing Christian man who browses a sports website and accidentally sees a pornographic image and does not immediately turn away but later repents. Recall Romans 1:25-27, Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Using pornography is the same as committing physical adultery. It is unfaithfulness. It is fornication. When one fornicates outside of the marriage, that is called adultery. Fornication, we have seen, comes in many forms. Watching pornography is making a conscious, willful decision to engage in sexual activity without one’s partner, defiling the marriage bed. When a person views pornography, they have broken the marriage covenant. When a person looks at pornography, it causes the spouse to feel all of the same emotions as if they had a physical relationship with another person (shock, anger, betrayal, rejection, shame, heartbreak, devastation). A woman will feel as though she isn’t good enough or attractive enough and she can never measure up to the females portrayed in pornography, many of whom are surgically altered and engage in perverse, objectifying, and unhealthy sexual acts. In many ways, pornography is even more harmful than a physical encounter. It is partaking in one of the most satanic activities this present world has known. It is the highest level of moral pollution. It not only corrupts the mind, creating addiction, but it opens the door to demons. Pornography is Satan’s snare by which he seeks to pervert sexual intimacy created by God and create lustful appetites in humans. Those who watch it are actually hooked spiritually with those who are performing the acts on screen, creating soul-ties with them. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! 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.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him (1 Cor. 6:15-17). Those who willfully choose to permit such profane material into their homes are guilty of sexual immorality in the same way that those who perform are. They stand condemned before God. It is an evil, vile industry created to take us down. Those who watch it need deliverance and are on their way to hell. This is all without even making mention of the fact that most of the actors in porn are Satanic Ritual Abuse victims, molested, and trafficked. Jesus says even to look at a woman with lust is committing adultery with her in your heart (Matthew 5:27-28). Masturbating using pornography is going leaps and bounds beyond “looking”. Psychologically, there is no difference between sexual intercourse and pornography. The brain accepts it as the same reality. Only, pornography is more damaging cognitively and spiritually. Pornography use is an action - an egregious one carried to fruition that breaks the marital covenant. Aside from the clear Words of God, the Holy Spirit and a little discernment and common sense tells us what constitutes immoral sexual behavior (i.e., fornication/porneia). Yes, pornography use by a married person is adultery. And it is one of the worst forms of it. It is up to the victimized spouse whether they feel they can reconcile with the adulterer. Matthew 5:32 permits divorce for adultery, and God will not hold it against the victim if they leave as well as remarry. Of course, God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), but He allows it in the case of adultery as it breaks the marital bond (as does abandonment, 1 Corinthians 7:15). Reconciliation is an option. If they are both believers, then this can be achieved after the guilty party has gone through repentance and deliverance. Sadly, this is not the common outcome, as cheating often has irreparable effects on the marriage. Keep in mind, 60% of divorces end, in part, as a result of pornography use (as of 2002 - that rate is likely higher now with increased addiction to internet pornography). Pornography is cheating, pure and simple. It is the majority view of evangelical Christians that pornography use is grounds for divorce, and church leaders and elders counsel couples accordingly. 1.4. Jesus Does Not Qualify Πορνεία with the Words Repeated or Unrepentant In 2009 Bethlehem Baptist Church’s elders articulated this position: “Divorce may be permitted when a spouse decisively and physically deserts the relationship; commits repeated, unrepentant adultery; or is guilty of protracted, unrepentant life-endangerment.”43 I agree with that sentence, but I think it could wrongly imply that divorce is illegitimate in certain instances when it is biblically permissible. In particular, there is insufficient scriptural warrant to require that divorce is legitimate only when the adultery is repeated and unrepentant. The only possible scriptural warrant I am aware of is assuming that “hardness of heart” in Matthew 19:8 and Mark 10:5 refers to Jeremiah 3 and 4:4.44 That is possible but difficult to prove, and such a tenuous connection is insufficient for narrowing what constitutes grounds for divorce. That reading also does not harmonize with how the Gospel of Matthew portrays Joseph’s planning to divorce Mary (Matt 1:19). Martin Luther argues, No one should be compelled to take back a public prostitute or an adulterer if he does not want to do so or is so disgusted that he cannot do so. We read (Matt. 1:19) that although Joseph was a pious man, he was not willing to take Mary, his betrothed wife, when he saw that she was pregnant; and he is praised for being “resolved to divorce her quietly” instead of registering a complaint against her and having her executed, as he had a right to do.45 When a spouse commits πορνεία and genuinely repents and asks the spouse they sinned against to forgive them, the sinned-against spouse must forgive the repentant spouse. Ideally that couple will not divorce, and the sinned-against spouse will pursue the repentant spouse with the same unselfish loyal love with which (a) Hosea loved Gomer the whore, (b) Yahweh loved Israel the whore, and (c) Jesus loves the church. But Jesus does not say πορνεία must happen repeatedly in order for it to qualify as a ground for divorce. Nor does Jesus say that the spouse guilty of πορνεία must be unrepentant in order for their action to qualify as a ground for divorce. (And the word unrepentant assumes it is possible for the non-adulterous spouse to accurately discern whether the adulterous spouse is genuinely repentant.) Depending on the circumstances, divorce may be the unfortunate consequence of a spouse’s (even repentant) covenant-breaking sin. I agree with Newheiser: I do not believe the innocent spouse can be compelled (e.g., under the threat of church discipline) not to exercise the right to divorce on the grounds of adultery, even if the adulterer claims to be repentant. Wronged spouses who refuse to fully forgive usually act this way because they are not convinced that the repentance is genuine (e.g., this has happened on multiple occasions). In addition, the sin might have been so serious (e.g., rape, molesting a child) that they do not wish to pursue reconciliation. Or they may have decided that they no longer wish to remain married to a person who has callously broken the covenant or to live with the consequences of the sin (e.g., a sexually transmitted disease). Sometimes forgiven sin still has consequences (Gal. 6:6-7). The consequence could be the end of a marriage. Wronged spouses, however, must guard their hearts. Bitterness and hatred are always sinful (Eph. 4:31-32)
I don't agree in the part where one can remarry after being left by unbelieving spouse..it is just that you are allowing the person to comitt the sin ADULTERY..no words from the bible can be twisted..come on people!what is really going with you???
@@theunveiledchristian6866 Excatly remarriage is only allowed for death of a spouse even for "divorce" No where else stands remarriage people ad there own words. If Paul says not under bondage if abadoned but still bound for life he says it in twice in bibel. I agree with you.
who left whom.....and when is this adultery committed...where does it say, that after the one has left.....they can wait until the one commits adultery......
The divorce and remarriage for adultery doctrine is based solely on the supposed guilt of the wife in Matthew 5:32, and Matthew 19:9. However, the wife in Matthew 5:31-32 is clearly not guilty of fornication because the Jews that Jesus was speaking to were still living under the law, and if fornication was discovered, there was a moral obligation to report the offender according to Deuteronomy 22:13-24. The wife, who would have been found guilty of fornication, was subsequently stoned to death, according to the law, which had still governed the Jews up until Christ's death on the cross. The same for a woman caught in adultery, according to Leviticus 20:10. How could a wife, guilty of fornication, or adultery, under the law of Moses, be given a writing of divorcement and be caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her, that is divorced? Jesus is clear, in these examples, that the wife is not guilty of fornication, but is still caused to commit adultery if she marries another man now that she is divorced. This is the only way that Matthew 5:31-32, and Matthew 19:9 keep harmony with Romans 7:2-3, and 1 Corinthians 7:39. Unlike the synoptic gospels of Mark and Luke, which were written to evangelize the Gentiles, Matthew was written to the Jews, and has of 24 characteristics that identify it as intended for the house of Israel. The ancient Jews called the betrothed (engaged) "husband" and "wife" according to Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Matthew 1:18-25, and Luke 2:5-7. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage) was never for fornication or adultery. Allowing those guilty of fornication and adultery to remain living and become a prospect for remarriage was against the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22:13-24 and Leviticus 20:10, which commanded that those who were found guilty of fornication and adultery be put away from Israel, and stoned to death. The law of Moses was not given to the world, only to the Jews. From the exodus, to Christ's death on the cross, the law of Moses governed the Jewish people. But when Jesus died on the cross, he caused the Jews to be dead to the law of Moses so they could be joined to Christ under a New Covenant. This is what Jesus's fulfillment of the law of Moses, including Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage), means. Paul gave several warnings to Christian believers against keeping the law of Moses over following Christ and his commands under the New Covenant with Christ. Keeping the whole law is no longer possible for those in Israel and that is why Christ prophesied that the temple would be destroyed. These scriptures make it clear that if you choose the law over Christ, that you must keep the whole law: Romans 7:4, Galatians 3:1-9, Galatians 3:10-29, Galatians 4:1-7, Galatians 4:21-31, and Galatians 5:1-15. Being unequally yoked to unbelievers is not a cause for divorce, once two become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, according to 1 Corinthians 7:12-14. Many one-flesh covenant marriages between unbelievers are recognized by God in the scriptures, most notably the marriage covenants between Herodias and King Herod's brother Philip, Potiphar and his wife, Ahab and Jezebel, and Ruth to her deceased husband Mahlon by Boaz when he took her to be his wife. Some are teaching that 1 Corinthians 7:15 implies that those who are abandoned by the unbeliever, are "no longer bound" in a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The reason this is in conflict is due to the way they word it, which gives it an entirely different meaning, and context. 1 Corinthians 7:15, says, "15But 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." As you can see, the actual scripture says "not under bondage," which means that the husband or wife is not enslaved to sin with the unbelieving spouse, and is free to worship Christ in peace. Subsequent translations have changed the words to imply that they nullify the marriage covenant, when this is not at all the case. The issue that this creates is with 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, which says, "10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife." As you can see, those who claim 1 Corinthians 7:15 has the Apostle Paul giving permission to remarry do not understand that the abandoned husband in 1 Corinthians 7:11 is expected to also remain unmarried, in order to be reconciled with his wife. The theory that 1 Corinthians 7:15 nullifies two as being one-flesh in marriage puts the Apostle Paul directly at odds with Christ, by implying that he has issued an opposing command. Some also teach that 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 is referring to both divorced men, and virgin women, and not exclusively to men and women (virgins) who have never been married. This has been falsely taught for some time in churches as referring to anyone who is not currently in a marriage, which, for them, also includes those who are divorced. This is a very false assumption, and puts these verses in a different context, that is at odds with both the teachings of Christ and the apostle Paul. We see Paul refer to virgins, which signifies the unmarried who have never before been wed, which is the proper context here. We see Paul saying clearly that it is good for virgins, which is also speaking to never before wed men here, "that it is good for a man so to be." He goes on to say, "Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife." Who is he referring to here? Men who, like himself, have never married. The word "bound", in these verses, is a clear reference to betrothal (engagement) and not to a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The ancient Jews were considered bound as husband and wife during the betrothal (espousal/engagement) before becoming one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, through consummation. This is affirmed by the context of the term "bound" seen in Numbers 30:14-16. The Jewish couples in ancient Israel, who were betrothed (engaged) were also bound together until death, either by execution for fornication, or by other causes. Then Paul says, "But and if thou marry, thou has not sinned", which is who? The men who had never married in the congregation at Corinth. So he begins with verses 25-26 speaking exclusively to men that have never married. Paul then says, "and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned", which is speaking directly about virgin women who have never been married, within the congregation, not divorced women. Notice that verse 34 says, "There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband." Paul speaks plainly when he says "there is a difference between a wife and a virgin." Paul goes on to say, "But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry." This is speaking of a father with a virgin daughter who has become of age to bear children when it says, "let them marry." This is a clear command to a third party, the father, and not a divorced man who has taken a virgin to be his wife. Paul then says, "Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well." This is referring again to the father who decides it is better for his daughter not to marry, but to stay betrothed (engaged), under the present distress, by saying that he "hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin." Paul then says, "So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better", which means that fathers of virgin daughters in the congregation do well if they choose to allow their betrothed virgin to marry, and fathers, who choose not to allow their virgin daughters to marry do better, under the current climate. For more proper context of the word "bound", let's look further down in this chapter to verse 39, which says, "39The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:39). For so long, these scriptures, between verses 25-38, have been twisted and used to enable divorce and remarriage, by wayward churches and teachers, and have caused many to stumble and to be trapped in unlawful unions. The use of the woman at the well, in regard to marriage, falsely implies that Christ was endorsing remarriage after a divorce. This teaching is in defiance of Matthew 22:23-28, which shows a woman who had been widowed seven times, and entered into each subsequent marriage without any scriptural conflicts with God's law of marriage (one-flesh covenant) seen in Genesis 2:23-24. Mark 10:1-12 is the same biblical record of Matthew 19:1-12, which both record Christ's teaching that day beyond the Jordan. There is no mention of the words "fornication", "writing of divorcement", or "divorced" in Mark's Gospel, because Mark was not written to the Jews (as Matthew's Gospel was), but to evangelize the Romans and Greeks, who had no knowledge of the law in Deuteronomy 22 or Deuteronomy 24. All of these facts draw a clear understanding that remarriage after a divorce, under the New Covenant with Christ, is a scripturally false and baseless teaching. Please use wisdom when living in any situation against what the scriptures command.
NOT UNDER “BONDAGE”……. If the unbelieving depart..... let him depart. A brother or sister is not under the bondage of servitude [Greek word Douloo] because of the separation, but should intercede for the salvation of the departed one, praying for his/her salvation and for reconciliation. A Testimony from a Sister in Christ : Quote : But just to be clear, here is something I recently discovered: I finally looked up the Greek and compared what Paul said about a woman being bound to her husband as long as he lives (1 Corinthians 7:39), and how when the unbelieving spouse leaves, the other spouse is not 'bound' in such circumstances (1 Cor. 7:15). Did you know that 'bound' is two different Greek words in these verses? 1 Corinthians 7:39 A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord. 'bound' is the Greek verb 'deo' deó: to tie, bind Original Word: δέω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: deó Phonetic Spelling: (deh'-o) Short Definition: I bind Definition: I bind, tie, fasten; I impel, compel; I declare to be prohibited and unlawful. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin a prim. verb Definition to tie, bind NASB Translation bind (7), binding (1), binds (2), bound (23), imprisoned (4), prisoners (1), put...in chains (1), tied (4). Now, in 1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. 'bound' is the Greek word 'douloo' 1402. douloó ► Strong's Concordance douloó: to enslave, bring under subjection Original Word: δουλόω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: douloó Phonetic Spelling: (doo-lo'-o) Short Definition: I enslave Definition: I enslave. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 1402 doulóō - enslave (passive, "become enslaved"), focusing on the status of being a bond-slave. In contrast to the other verb-form of the same root (1398 /douleúō), 1402 (doulóō) stresses the results (effects) of enslavement. That is, what automatically goes with belonging to another. See 1401 (doulos). So there is a difference between the bond between a husband and wife (for life) and this being 'bound' or 'under bondage'. So I am still bound to my husband (married in God's eyes, no matter what man says), but not under bondage to him. He does not rule over me, but I am not free to marry someone else because he is still my husband. It is interesting that Paul says these two things in the same chapter First he says the believer is not 'bound' under the circumstance of their unbelieving spouse leaving them, and then he says that a wife is 'bound' to her husband as long as he is still living. It seems to contradict, but it doesn't. It's a different word. - Ricky B - “Not Bound”, No, HAS not been enslaved ( PAST TENSE! ) Written so that a spouse would not be conflicted to obey the husband and follow his pagan religion and honor her husband over following Jesus. Just like the movie “The Case For Christ” in which the husband gives an ultimatum “It is either me or your Jesus, which is it going to be?” This shows you are to pick your savior Jesus. Kehillah in Corinth I 7:14-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) 14 For, [T.N. following the principle of bikkurim], the ba’al who is an Apikoros is mekudash b’Ruach Hakodesh (set apart as holy in the Ruach Hakodesh) by the isha, and the isha who is an Apikoros likewise by the Ach b’Moshiach; otherwise, your yeladim are tema’im (unclean); but now they are tehorim (clean). [MALACHI 2:15] 15 But, if the one who is an Apikoros(apostate- a person who renounces a religious or political belief or principle) separates and departs, let the separation occur; the Ach b’Moshiach(brothers in Moshiach) HAS not been enslaved(past tense), or the Achot b’Moshiach(sister in Moshiach) in such cases; but Hashem ('the Name’)- is used to refer to God, particularly as an epithet for the Tetragrammaton, when avoiding God's more formal title, Adonai ('my master’).)has given you a kri’ah b’shalom(calling peace). 16 For how do you know, isha(woman), if you will not bring your basherter (destined mate), your ba’al(Husband), to Yeshu’at Eloheinu (the Salvation of our G-d)?
So a spouse can become harsh and hard hearted and divorce? And she can wait for you to remarry and then she can remarry and it won’t be adultery for her?
What if the unbelieving Spouse departs from a believer spouse will they eligible to get merry to a Christian Men or women who are young in Age...or who has already devorced from an unbeliever spouse and married to a Christian Men or women...Should they devorced in case of Adultery or they remain in a Merriage....please reply me.
Romans 7:1 By law a married woman is Bound to her husband As Long As He Is Alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him. 3 So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, She IS Called an Adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man
I disagree with a lot of what Doug is saying : I am an sda and I do have issues in this area - BUT there is a lot of things Doug didnt say on the other side of the coin..
Thanks for the video ! Where can I find the others ?? I believe Pr. Doug made 10 sermons about the ten commandments this year, but I cannot find them on the Amazing Facts website. Please help !
Amazing Facts is actually going to put the entire series into a dvd set...not sure exactly when they will be available though. Pretty soon I would imagine.
This is common misteaching that's a church has been selling. Better teaching from David Pawson and Dr. Joseph Webb on UA-cam that explains this in God's words not Church tradition words.
Totally agree. This man is deceived and deceiving. I hope he will watch David Pawson and Dr. Joseph Webb. I have a playlist on divorce and remarriage adultery with over 125 videos of correct teaching and testimonies of those who repented.
Maquidou F2F I met my wife when i was 17 & it was love at 1st sight, when i was 19 some1 told me it was sin to have sex before marriage & we didnt know the Lord yet but we didn't feel right having sex anymore....God Bless!!!
Amen!! God is working in both of us as he did with you. I was there pondering how I am going to tell my GF about not no more sex. At the same time, she too was thinking the same. For both of us was in Prayer and asking for guidance. At the time wich was a couple of weeks my GF was not a Christian yet. We are on the right track with God so praise be the God almighty. He is with us and is correcting our flaws. Amen!!! thank you for the response Rodney
Maquidou F2F look up the true meaning of fornication this has nothing to do with being unmarried. People have been falsley led for over 1600 hundred years. The white roman catholics changed the translation. Look it up on youtube the true meaning.
Isaiah 53:5, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed. For salvation, people just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in the water and of the spirit. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled with the Holy Ghost and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is. We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritan. Our salvation has to match-up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. God told Noah exactly how to be saved, how he must build the ark. Noah didn't come up with his own plan like people are doing today. A sinner's prayer, you just have to believe, etc which is not in the bible. The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church. It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. If you believe in this message, help spread it in the name of Jesus Christ. God bless you!
what happens when repents and get baptized after he has been married to 3 wives, which is acceptable to his traditions, e.g. an African king? Must be desert his 'last' two wives?
Good question. If he has repented and been baptize, he must no longer follow man's traditions, but follow Christ and the law of God. The bible states a man or a woman must be married to one spouse. Follow no man follow Christ.
He is in adultery if he is having sex with anyone other than the first wife. The length of time, getting baptized or having children doesn't change the fact that his only wife is the first one if she is still alive.
what if u have been married b 4 & got a divorce & u re married. but at time of the first marriage u didn't know the debt that GOD has 4 two people when they get married, until u separated from ur 2nd husband? what do u do then, divorce ur 2nd husband & go back 2 the first 1?
These are complete stages if someone would like to reinforce the view about this topic. Pastors in which during their preaching don't contradict the bible. Nor do they add or rest Jesus´s teaching. Finally, regardless how difficult or how straight we are about this under our own understanding while developing our relationship with God. Let´s everyday; during our daily praying to lead us in light and in truth to do His will above ours for His grace and by Him we should liveth.

Elder Bachelor I have tuned to you on more than one occasion I even saw you when you came to Jamaica in Mandeville. I cannot understand thou how you could publicly declare that to divorce and remarry is okay depending on the circumstances. It does not say that in scripture what I have read and seen are these. Romans 7: 1-3 Luke 16:18 Sr Corinthians 7:39, Mark 10:11-12. As to the admonition given by Paul please note what he said later to the unmarried and widow, not divorces. It is now a cancer in the truth because the elders teachers in Israel is making this covenant of no effect. Only death ends a marriage. One can divorce yes but such person has to remain as is or be reconciled. You see elder there are consequences to our decisions He behooves us to seek him out 1st Matthew 6:33. Remember it explicitly says all things would be added in obedience if we seeked Him out. It goes to reason if we stand in obedience blessings would be our reward. We know of the blessings and curse. The partner we choose comes what may we have to stand our ground. The explanation given of Matthew 19 is not accurate. It did not say that you can remarry if adultery is done please read the scriptures I posted because with this misinformation you are sending souls to hell. Only death ends a marriage any one who remarried whilst their party is still alive commits adultery, break the 7th commandment. Only God can end a marriage and this he does through desth. It is a covenant even when earth grants a divorce the record of that marriage still stands in heaven. I am so disappointed in this sermon please fast and pray about this as your soul anchors on this.
Amazing book to read on this subject that summarizes God's truth; Divorce and Remarriage by Joseph Webb. (Undeniable facts and all references are sited!)
@Stephanie Waber ...well it doesn't so much as it let's God, the disciples, the apostle, and the early church leaders say it without exception up to the year 1519.
@Stephanie Waber amen, I am in the same boat. In a three and a half year stand for my marriage God has done nothing but reveal this to me sometimes in as many as five dreams in a night. I Praise Jesus. I was led to the truth before I was led astray! For now I will focus on Jesus and a miracle with my marriage! God has told me this teaching more clearly than anything else in my life in my 20-year walk as a Christian. It is only recently I ran onto this book that summarized what he has been revealing to me in study, prayer, dreams, etc. Sadly our society pushes feel good ISM which may tragically cost souls in the end.
Matthew 5:31Jesus said, “Furthermore it has been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except fornication (porneia/sex before marriage) causes her to commit adultery (moicheia/sexual sin of married person); and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery. (Greek present continuous tense or state of being an adulterer)
no I don't think there is a Biblical position to defend your view of a ....fresh start.....you may want to watch the Church of Christ videos to see why as they seem to have the most comprehensive presentation, on this subject...
Covenants Jeremiah 34:18-20 NIV “Those who have violated my covenant and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two and then walked between its pieces. The leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials, the priests and all the people of the land who walked between the pieces of the calf, I will deliver into the hands of their enemies who want to kill them. Their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.” www.bible.com/111/jer.34.18-20.niv 2 Samuel 21 (NLV) The Gibeonites Kill Seven of Saul’s Grandsons 21 While David was king there was a time without food for three years. David went to the Lord. The Lord said, “It is because of Saul and his house of blood, for he put the Gibeonites to death.” 2 So the king called the Gibeonites. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but of the people who were left of the Amorites. The sons of Israel had made an agreement with them. But Saul had wanted to kill them because he thought so much of the sons of Israel and Judah.) 3 David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? How can I pay for the sin, so you may bring good to the land of the Lord?” 4 The Gibeonites said to him, “We will take no silver or gold from Saul or his family. And it is not for us to put any man to death in Israel.” David said, “I will do for you whatever you say.” 5 So they said to the king, “Saul destroyed us and planned to keep us from staying in any land of Israel. 6 Let seven men from his sons be given to us. We will hang them before the Lord at Gibeon on the Lord’s mountain.” And the king said, “I will give them.” 7 But the king kept alive Mephibosheth, the son of Saul’s son Jonathan, because David had made a promise to Saul’s son Jonathan before the Lord. 8 The king took the two sons of Aiah’s daughter Rizpah, Armoni and Mephibosheth, whom she had born to Saul. And he took the five sons of Saul’s daughter Merab, whom she had born to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite. 9 He gave them to the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the mountain before the Lord. The seven of them died together. They were put to death in the first days of gathering time, when the barley was ready to gather. Deuteronomy 23:21-23 "When you make a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not delay to pay it, for it would be sin in you, and the LORD your God will surely require it of you. Numbers 30:2 "If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or takes an oath to bind himself with a binding obligation, he shall not violate his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. Psalm 15:4 But he honors those who fear the Lord; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts and does not change. 1 Kings 2:42-44, 46 “So the king sent for Shimei and demanded, “Didn’t I make you swear by the Lord and warn you not to go anywhere else or you would surely die? And you replied, ‘The sentence is fair; I will do as you say.’ Then why haven’t you kept your oath to the Lord and obeyed my command?” The king also said to Shimei, “You certainly remember all the wicked things you did to my father, David. May the Lord now bring that evil on your own head. Then, at the king’s command, Benaiah son of Jehoiada took Shimei outside and killed him. So the kingdom was now firmly in Solomon’s grip.” www.bible.com/116/1ki.2.42-44,46.nlt Deuteronomy 23:2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord. Deuteronomy 22:19 The woman will then remain the man’s wife, and he may never divorce her. Deuteronomy 22:22 “If a man is discovered committing adultery, both he and the woman must die. In this way, you will purge Israel of such evil. Deuteronomy 22:24 The man must die because he violated another man’s wife. In this way, you will purge this evil from among you. Deuteronomy 22:29 Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he may never divorce her as long as he lives. Malachi 2:13 Here is another thing you do. You cover the Lord’s altar with tears, weeping and groaning because he pays no attention to your offerings and doesn’t accept them with pleasure. 14 You cry out, “Why doesn’t the Lord accept my worship?” I’ll tell you why! Because the Lord witnessed the vows you and your wife made when you were young. But you have been unfaithful to her, though she remained your faithful partner, the wife of your marriage vows. 15 Didn’t the Lord make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are his.[b] And what does he want? Godly children from your union. So guard your heart; remain loyal to the wife of your youth. 16 “For I hate divorce!”[c] says the Lord, the God of Israel. “To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty,[d]” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife.” Psalms 76:11-12 NIV “Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them; let all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared. He breaks the spirit of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.” www.bible.com/111/psa.76.11-12.niv Deuteronomy 23:21-25 21 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the Lord thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth. Numbers 30:1-2 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded. 2 If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. Psalm 89:34 33But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him, nor ever betray My faithfulness. 34I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips. 35Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness-I will not lie to David Jeremiah 33:20 This is what the LORD says: If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night cease to occupy their appointed time, 21then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant and with My ministers the Levites who are priests, so that David will not have a son to reign on his throne. 22As the hosts of heaven cannot be counted and as the sand on the seashore cannot be measured, so too will I multiply the descendants of My servant David and the Levites who minister before Me.” Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments. Psalm 89:28 I will forever preserve My loving devotion for him, and My covenant with him will stand fast. Isaiah 54:10 Though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be shaken, My loving devotion will not depart from you, and My covenant of peace will not be broken," says the LORD, who has compassion on you. Leviticus 26:44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God. Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. www.spindleworks.com/library/geertsema/covenant02.htm Joshua 6:26 At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath: "Cursed before the LORD is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho: "At the cost of his firstborn son he will lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates." 1 Kings 16:34 In Ahab's time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the LORD spoken by Joshua son of Nun.
Seems like a washed down interpretation. You can divorce/ separate for fornication (any sexual immorality 'pornea'), but only for a period of healing and reconciliation for you are ought to forgive your spouse if he or she truly repents as Jesus forgave you your bigger sins/debt. You cannot force anyone to live with you; so, if your spouse wants to abandon and leave you, he or she can go, but you are still bonded. However, you are ought to pray for him or her to repent and come back and God is faithful and mighty to do that. If you are divorced with kids already, you cannot simply confess and continue in your sin, but to abandon it, while still taking care of your kids, even though they are the kids of adultery, and remain just as friends with you 2nd,3rd,4th,etc... 'wife'.The only instance you can remarry is when your first and only spouse, the spouse of your covenant and youth, dies. AND even then it is recommended to stay single, but if you would remarry after your spouse dies- it is not a sin.
Philip Buckley fornication is having sexual relations during engagement with or without the person your engaged to/adultery is a married person cheating on their spouse😊
Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I (Jesus) tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for fornication (porneia), and marries another woman commits adultery (moicheia).”
what is the difference between adultery and fornication....because the exception is porneia which the traditional translation has been fornication......
We all know the Adultery is wrong, but many people in the bible had multiple wives, so how was that not wrong? Does anyone dare speak to that? Abraham, Jacob, David, Solomon, and many others. Moreover, men were even commanded to take their brother's wife if he should die suddenly. So can anyone explain this? I am very confused as to why it happened that way and was not wrong.
Matthew 19:9 is referring to someone who are engageg. During the time when mary and joseph were to be married. Mary became pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Joseph could've put her away. Because he hadn't had sex with her. The Holy Spirit spoke to joseph to let him know that mary hadn't comitted fornication.(porneia). That she was with child due to the holy spirit. During the time of mary and joseph. They first chose their spouse. They were betrothed. Engaged to be married. If either committed fornication during that time. They could divorce. By giving them a bill of divorce. Before the covenant took place. The verse Matthew19:9 is not referring to those who are married. Married couples don't commit fornication. They committ adultery. It's referring to someone who committs fornication during their engagement. (Betrothed). That verse can be confusing. Please take a second or third look. We are instructed only to remarry when a spouse has deceased. Matthew 19:9 is for the engaged not the married.
First, the Jews taught that only man can divorce his wife. The State of Israel and Orthodox Jews have been teaching this almost exclusively since the Torah. But, no one has asked why did they teach 'only man' can initiate the divorce. Then after you have answered that question the next two come into play. Does those reasons mean anything to us Believers today? And can we see it taught by Jesus speaking about the Law and Paul to believers. Yes! Mark's account was written to what Jesus said in private and this gospel was written to the Gentiles (they already had women divorces the Jews did not). Paul said in 1 Cor. 7:10-11 a woman can not remarry after she separates from her husband (as it was not lawful according to the Jews for a woman to put away her husband according to Scripture). And this is why the later part of that verse in 1 Cor. 7:11b does not say the man must "remain unmarried or be reconciled to his wife."

Michael Sayen “Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.” Luke 16:18 KJV bible.com/1/luk.16.18.kjv
Yes, this is absolutely true. But, we have the rest (remaining) part of scripture that gives the exception clause. We can't through out the entire Book of Matthew because we have the Book of Mark. But we use them both together to get a fuller picture. We do that in all the other doctrines and parables in all the Gospels. Its a full look, not one or the other.
I always hear this. Stay in ypur secnd marriage. Old things are new. The baptimak sanctification clause. All pastors preach this. If thats the case ypu wpuld have to remarry yoir current spouse beause thats an old marriage. Or does that mean homosexual marriage is sanctified? What if the divorced spouse is hoping for reconciliation? Is he or she suposed to pray for a divorce? Would that be a sin to pray for sin? God honors all marriage. Between beievers. Unbelievers. Budhist witches all marriages. Jesus gave an exception. Fornication. That is a single persons sxual sin. So if ypu try saying finding the lord permits second marriage it supersede what jesus says.
this non believer departing.....the word used is...enslaved....not.....not bound....which is a different word.....he just stated a woman is bound to her husband, as long as he lives.....hmm, and straight away changes this.....I dont think so...

Is it acceptable for a single male to have single female friends? I know someone who is divorced and says she will never get married again. Says just friends.
you talk, of the Bible....so where is this scrambled eggs to be found.....what you are allowing is for ones to live, in adultery.....which, I believe, makes you a partaker, of their sin...
once again, the exception, as outlined in Matthew is porneia....and Erasmus is said to have changed that definition from fornication, to sexual immorality....opening the doors to divorce, and remarriage...
Those histories from David and Solomon, were situations in which God dealed with them personally; Jesus did not die for them. Dont you compare with them. Jesus in the new testament let us clear what divorce and remarriage is; a adulterous relationship. Living a life of sin once you have learn the true; you may check Hebrews 10 of deliberate sin.
Jesus did not live in the Old Testament? Read again, what does it say in the first chapter of John the gospel and what does it say in the book of Revelations. Who was hanging out with Abraham before walking to Sodom and Gomorrah and who did Jacob wrestle with. Do you not think that David, Solomon, Jacob and Abraham had faith in things unseen? Yes they did. Jesus is every where in the New Testament. Would we have a New Testament with out the old. What did Jesus teach from? He taught from the Old Testament because the new had not come about yet. Yes God does deal with us personally and Jesus did die for them that was what the object lesson of animal sacrifice was about and was through faith that sins were forgiven. Does it not say that Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness? Over and Over God tells the Jews he would rather they follow him, love him, obey him than to have the blood sacrifice of animals.
HE OBEY HIS FATHER!; Jesus save us from the new testament to the rest of humanity; but before that, people dealed with God directly. Really read it more.
sweetangelstronger But before that, people dealed with God directly? OK hmm. God does not deal directly with you in your life now? God is the same today as yesterday and forever. God loves and deals with us directly. The Old testament shows how God deals with us today. The Old Testament tells of Jesus and how his salvation would save us right from the first words of the Bible. Maybe you need to read it again.
No; If God is going to deal with you; you are death already; because you are leaving aside JESUS´s sacrifice; and the Holy Spirit. We cannot present to the father as we are; we do it through Jesus´s blood; so WE DO NOT dealed with God a living and righteous GOD directly; is through Jesús; and remember something; before forgiveness; it comes repent. Repent means turn away from the sin you are living with once you know the through. finally I did not deny Jesús existent as God´s son; but the difference in the NEW testament is that He needed to come in this world as human to die for you and me. Profets; Kings, all those who represented God before Jesús; dissappointed God for their weakness; Jesús did not. Have not you read how Jesús himself call second marriages? Did he allow the adulterous woman to keep on sin? If He already answer that; why is so hard to understand it? If you are going to take just some Words from Jesús himself to your own convenience, then who is the real Lord bible; is it Jesús? or you ?
another one jumping on the band wagon for divorce and remarriage that makes about 20 different preachers in the past 2 weeks and not the first one talks about how many times does God forgives the sinner
the subject matter is....not food....it is adultery....if you stole money can you keep it....you need to use the Bible not some adage...that does not seem to relate, to the subject matter....the question is when does confession negate a covenant and change adultery, into a legitimate covenant.....you seem to be teaching that this sin is alright to live in....shame on you...
No, you are not right. Remarriage is ongoing adultery so Jesus will forgive it and repentance is proven by getting out of it. I know plenty of people who the Lord told to repent of their remarriage and to get a divorce. It is the only way to "go and sin no more". Divorce plus remarriage (while first covenant spouse is alive) equals adultery. 16 “Until John the Baptist, the law of Moses and the messages of the prophets were your guides. But now the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is eager to get in.17 But that doesn’t mean that the law has lost its force. It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the smallest point of God’s law to be overturned. 18 “For example, a man who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery. And anyone who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.” Luke 16 Mark 10, Romans 7:1-3, 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, 39.
“Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman. She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God. Entering her house leads to death; it is the road to the grave. The man who visits her is doomed. He will never reach the paths of life.”
Proverbs 2:16-19
I have used this bible verse to a woman pastor whom I used to live with, but what I got is a negative and violent reaction because she lets this twice divorced man live with her in her house for their upcoming business..I was just asking what is her understanding about this verse and actually this woman pastor doesn't want to talk about verses that teach Divorce and Remerriage and I haven't heard her teaching that to her church member even pastors in their main church, they encourage other church members to commit the sin if Adultery by marrying another spouse when the marriage is being Annulled..BTW I am from the Philippines...
Matthew 19:10 The disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” -(This is how serious marriage is! They recognized it by their answer!)
I caught my wife committing adultery outside her work place in the parking lot. Pray for me, thank you... God is good...
Hope you’re doing OK. Any update?
Malachi 2:16 “For the man or woman who does not love their spouse but divorces them, says the Lord, the God of Israel, covers his garment with violence, says the Lord of hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless.”
The covenant of marriage is very serious in God’s eyes only broken by death and He does not take it lightly as our culture has & changed it’s views.
The LORD does not change - Malachi 3:6. Amen! Thank God He doesn’t sway like we do.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

“It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, except on the grounds of porneia (sexual immorality), makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Matthew 5:31-32) crystal clear.
You're right with that..a lot of pastors are twisting this word just to give justice with the wrong practice which is being in an ADULTEROUS marriage..

+roger twitty definitely just lifted up a prayer for you, brother. You're doing the right thing by calling on Jesus. Remember He is able to keep you from falling in this area. Also, remember that your marriage is a partnership where you pray for each other when you are weak. I hope you will have the courage to tell your wife and pray WITH her about this issue. Also, seek a Christian brother who can be your accountability partner to help keep you on the right track. The devil wants to destroy marriages but God is powerful enough to keep it together, and to keep you faithful to your wife!

the Lord told us to come as we are to him because he is mighty to save. Matthew 11
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
As once the old time reformer once said "When I look to myself and the conditions that I am in and all the struggle that I face in this walk of faith, how can I be ever saved. But then when I look to Jesus How can I be ever lost."- Martin Luther.
the Lord said" Look unto me and be saved."
David also was struggling with the addiction that he encounters in life, he murdered Uriah and committed adultery with Bathsheba. He was really struggling with it until He made a prayer to the Lord." How can a young man cleanse his way?By taking heed unto thy word."PS 119:11.
the lord works in us through the power of his Holy Spirit. changing and transforming us into the image of Christ. we must have to surrender our will unto His and let Jesus control it. let us be lead by the Spirit so that we should not do the deeds of the flash.
Ask for humility and strength and faith to withstand. Don't commit adultery just for fornication or adultery and pornography is sex the wrong way because it makes you lust after other people why because you truly looking for sex in the wrong place.
1 Corinthians 16:22
“If anyone does not love the Lord, that person is cursed. Our Lord, come!”
Thanku for ur understanding and preaching the truth
tell all of this, to John the Baptist who died for telling someone that it was not lawful to be married to his brothers wife....he did not say....confess this sin, and stay with her....
Yepp. You're right man.
Amazing... I was thinking the same thing when I heard him say unbelievers get a new start at marriage when they come to faith in Christ. I was like... but didn't John the Baptist get killed for rebuking and denouncing Herod and Herodias's marriage? She was his brother's wife. Period.
@@MrBlack-pj1jk Herod was not rebuke for divorcing his wife and marry another woman.He was rebuked because he married his brother's wife.Not for having another wife.For Kings and men of wealth at this time had more then one wife and concubines also.So Herod was rebuked for marrying his brother's wife.That's why John told Herod it is not lawful for him to have his brother's wife.Because the law told the Jewish people that a man did not suppose to uncover his brother's nakedness or his brother's wife.So that was the reason of Herod being rebuked.It had nothing to do with Herod divorcing his wife and marrying another woman.Nor did it have anything to do with Herod having another wife.Herod had uncovered his brother's Phillip nakedness or his wife by marrying her.I keep hearing people say that Herod was rebuked As a sinner for taking another wife or for divorcing his wife and marrying his brother's wife.And that is not true.Herod uncovered his brother's nakedness or his wife.That was the reason he was rebuked.
@@pastorshandonevangkimlaellis I totally agree. It was unlawful under Moses's law to have your next of kin as your spouse. I also agree with Jesus Christ concerning a permanent union of male and female under God. He certainly means what he says. John the Baptist was bold and loving enough to warn Herod about his unlawful union just like we the believers in Christ Jesus have to be by siding with Him, upholding His position on marriage. Thanks and God bless 🙏
@@MrBlack-pj1jk Yes Sir,I agree with JESUS teaching about marriage also.But I am asking KING JESUS,What about the sinner.Do GOD really hold the sinner to the same standard as the saint,as far as divorce and remarriage is concerened?The sinner don't know what GOD'S WORD say about divorce and remarriage.The sinner have no covenant with GOD,Seperated from GOD,Lost,a pagan,not born again,not HOLY SPIRIT Filled,a child of the devil,a child of wrath,enemies of GOD,With no relationship with GOD.Most sinners are drunk or high when the marry.They are doing the electric slide after the wedding. 😂!So my question is,do GOD hold them to the one flesh union like HE do the Saint.I agree that GOD acknowledge when sinners marry but do HE hold them to the same standard as the saint?

at 47:00 "you can unscramble scrambled eggs", well that is sometimes the problems with grammatical tenses and bible translations, because actually Paul comments on that in 1 Cor 7:11 like this: "but if she HAS departed, let her remain alone or be reconciled". I take that to mean that marriages before coming to Christ also count. So, there is not a "fresh start" with respect to marriage.
Correct ! He had to put that man made concession in his sermon to retain the church members that are in that state . Not to mention bathshebas husband was dead which by the law allowed her to remarry. Thus freeing her to be married to King david . David knew that , that's why he killed Uriah . This pastor is wrong in this teaching
@@brotherj1405 the problem with the David situation was one of course he committed murder, and two he coveted which is a commandment and he broke it. He lusted, which led to sin. And the Bible says lust when it's mature leads to sin and sin in the end leads to death. So even if he could remarry her, that was beside the problem.
amen....if it were true, for a fresh start, married people would have to remarry....so the marriage, would count, in the eyes, of God...
1 Corinthians 7:10-11 is actually a command of Christ to remain unmarried or be reconciled.
explain please 🙏

Update...
We are not free to remarry if abandoned. Only death or adultery. Bless!!
Facts!!
No. It says the person who was abandoned IS NOT BOUND in such a circumstance.
I am divorced. My ex committed spiritual adultery hiding that he was an abuser. After he lied to me to get married I found out he broke his first wife's arm then threw both her and her daughter out in the street. I filed for divorce immediately. He nearly killed me after losing my unborn son because of his selfishness.
I feel I am free to remarry. The Lord spoke to me about the law of divorce. It was given because of the hardness of heart. It is worse now than ever before.
Remember that women have been unable to support themselves and their children. In His time they would starve to death without a husband. How could He tell them the things we think He implied in light of this?
You were never married to him in the first place. He was married before. There is no such thing as as spiritual adultery as a reason for divorce.
@@randallhosey6926 what is "spiritual adultery"?

@@butterflybrains243 yes I believe that the word says that adultery is grounds for divorce. And I do not know what spiritual adultery is.

You're patient. I would forget it and live unmarried
Update?
Beautiful message
Very well said.
I'm 22, committed sexual immorality with a girl and then married her. eventually she left me and moved on to the next guy. I've recently repented and starting a new life. am I to remain single until her destructive lifestyle (gangs, clubs, acting in porn, etc.) results in a (God forbid) premature death? I need answers. I love Jesus with all my heart but sometimes I still ache for physical love and companionship in a mate. idunno. I'll remain single if that's what Jesus says cause I love and fear him more than the physical world. it seems like Christianity is greatly divided in this topic so I don't know who to listen to.
Be patient and God will bless you with a good lady. Keep praying.
No because we live under grace. Praise God for that! He does bless second marriages if they are rooted in His Truth!
Thank u for this I always felt like the person that cheats on there spouse just gets away with it... Cause the other spouse just end up being a fool in the dark cause they never get caught so ..Cause if god is a forgiving God then that's all they have to do is ask God to forgive them and then it will be so and all the hurt they cause the other person """"WiIFE""". Is water under the bridge..?? 😒😞
Yes Indeed thank you father for keep me strong in your path obey your Commandments and thank you Dear Lord and father I pray that you continue helping me let me be the woman you want me to be the daughter you want me to be thank you so much Dear Lord AMEN ♥ 🙏.
Thank God for religious freedom . What a blessing to have the Whole truth for food.
Luke 16:18 “Jesus said: Whosoever/anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Greek present continuous tense or state of being)
Fornication and adultry are two different words so if you are in a convent marriage no remarriage until your spouse is dead.
Mathew 19:9 sets the spouse free if there is fornication
You are correct sister! Anyone who researches this can clearly come up with that conclusion I don't know how these preachers keep Miss guiding people Straight to Hell according to the Bible.
You say it like you wont die first 😂
I like Doug Batchelor's teachings but I do not completely agree with some of this one. From what I've read in the bible and many agree, is that the only time a person can remarry is after a spouse dies. Adultery may be reason for divorce but it does not say you can remarry. That's a pretty important part for Jesus to have left out if that's what he meant. Plus it is only mentioned in Matthew and Matthew was speaking to the Jews. I believe that Matthew was referring to the Jewish betrothal (engagement) period. Joseph considered "putting away" (divorcing) Mary when he found out she was pregnant. They were not married at that time but in the betrothal period. During that period people were considered to be 'married' and if you found out that your partner/spouse had been 'unclean' you could hand them a certificate of divorce so that you could both move on and marry someone else. Once the actual marriage takes place though, I believe that people are married until death parts them.
The Bible does say we can leave a marriage if the spouse is an unbeliever, also if there is abuse or infidelity.
1 Corinthians 7
raymond kenner wow; that is not only reading to your own convenience, but you are adding words. Paul did not say that, for in the same Chapter confirmed Jesus´s words: "39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. If her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but only if he loves the Lord." If they get apart is for for remarrying, was to turn back to God again! and in the same chapter saids; either you go back to your wife or remain single!
Do not add WORDS to the bible! prove it! It does not said Abuse or infidelity. the word was PORNEIA that means when the bride was not virging to her fiancee. So study the bible carefully before leading people to the wrong way.
sweetangelstronger I do think God is bigger than our sins. Have you ever lived with abuse? 1 Cor 7:15-16 @1Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. @1For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?The scripture seems clear enough. Is it good to let children see a mother or father abuse their spouse? This scripture is clear.
+raymond kenner exactly I was abused by my ex husband,i would never want him again,he is not only dangerous to me but my child,my child is grown up now hes 17 but i will never go back to my ex,but would hope to find a christian spouse
+just1musicfan You got it right brother. Peace be on to you. I see that the Spirit of Truth, the Voice of Our Shepherd is not a foreign voice to HIS sheep. What I have noticed though, is that pastors and teachers of His Word, bend and twist scripture to fit their understanding and/or lifestyle of someone close to them. For instance, if pastor's wife, husband, daughter, son, grandkid, friend, etc... is living in an adulterous relationship while his/her spouse is still alive; he would justify it and not only do harm to his son and family, but he would teach the WHOLE congregation and lead entrusted sheep straight into the pits of Hell because He loved his son, daughter, wife, friend, himself more than Jesus and His Word.
James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?
I Agree with marriage between a man and a woman OR total abstinence ...
I am Catholic as was my ex-wife. In May 1993, we married in a beautiful Catholic wedding ceremony. I thought it was the beginning of a lifetime of happiness with the love of my life. But 42 days later, she chose to abandon the marriage because of my refusal to allow her grandmother to move in and live with us permanently. She told me that unless I changed my mind, allowed her to move in, and for her to take her "rightful place" as the head of our household, she would not live with me. I tried for almost a year to save the marriage but she would not budge from her position. Sadly, divorce was the only option left. So what does God say about my situation? Have I sinned by putting her away? Am I bound to her forever, and forbidden to remarry?
You can remarry only if your ex has relations or with another person or remarried.
You didn't sin, you tried hard but divorce and remarry and be patient.
You have more problems than a failed marriage. You married into the GREAT HARLOT of rev 17.[Spiritually speaking]What do expect? And the Pope is the pimp for her. She is drunken with the blood of the saints. Until you square with that you will not pass go or collect your 200 dollars.
John the Baptist did not know this....after all he lost his life saying to Herod, it is not lawful, to have your brothers wife....
The Bible never said sexual immorality...it said fornication meaning when 2 people are engaged as Joseph and Mary were...Any divorced person that is having sex is committing adultery ...
Excatly. Another devil in sheeps clothing
You will also perish for other reasons 😂
this is not the unforgivable sin Ephesians6;12
He didn't say it was.
May we continue in sin so grace may abound?
Unrepentant people are unforgiven. There is no forgiveness for those who do not repent.
I don't agree that a Christian would have to live with someone addicted to pornography, and who is unrepentant. I agree that children should be protected from a man looking at paedophile sites, however, to suggest that a woman does not deserve a safe home is disrespectful! Are children worth more, or more vulnerable, or more deserving than a woman? Or mistreated man? Abuse is not to be overlooked. Sometimes God expects us to overcome evil situations, trusting in Him to guide us, and keep us. But to be forced to cooperate with perversion or filth, or abuse is not a small thing. Any person seeking to draw close to the Lord would struggle with the conflict used by evil principalities and powers to undermine and torture a believer! In such circumstances, it is wise to seek God's intervention and wisdom, and a godly resolution.
John 15:6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned.
Y'all are so worried about this one sin and not even thinking about the hundreds of other sins you've committed today alone mostly without even realizing it. If you sin once or break one law you break them all. There are over 600 laws . Not just the big 10. How many of them do you think you've probley broken today ? Y'all are making it all about what man does and the rightioness of man and less about the blood of Jesus
So if my ex was married once before and I was not, I'm free to remarry because technically I was not married to begin with??
Yes. You were in an unlawful marriage. You were married to another man's wife if he was still living. You have never been lawfully married in the eyes of God. You may remarry but only to a never married woman, a widow, or someone like yourself. And only in the Lord.
@@ericoverthere very true
No. If they were rightfully divorced, your marriage to your spouse is God ordained and binding most likely. If you and your spouse began your relationship in adultery, and never had a time of repentence and recompense, God never saw/sees you as married and you wouldnt be free to marry until true repentence, a change of behavior for a period of time, pastoral guidance etc... and the innocent spouse is free to remarry, but the offending spouse has a hard road to travel to become worthy of a marriage covenant again. And no bible teaching church or pastor would marry the unfaithful spouse before certain criteria was met, over a decent period of time (years usually)
Yes
So I spent 18 yrs in adultery and was actually married to another man's wife. Its a good thing she left. I think from now on ill just stay single.
8:00 being one flesh interpreted to mean, the sexual union. No this is mistaken. They are one flesh before they ever have sex. How else would it be that Eve was flesh of Adams flesh, and that was before they came together? And the Bible say that likewise shall it be with every (lawfully) married couple. They are one flesh before they ever start on a one-flesh-relationship ! Bingo !
Hello what happens if I had adultery before I became Adventist and before baptism?
Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ 7 ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife,[a] 8 and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. 9 What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
10 And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. 11 And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, 12 and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
Amen!!
Please don’t just take any teacher’s word for things. Do your own studying. Since I have studied this topic for hundreds of hours, let me help.
In Matthew 19:3-9, Christ emphasized the importance of marriage to a nation of men who had failed to uphold its sanctity. He then discusses the grounds for divorce. Divorce is not God’s moral will or design. Moses permitted men to divorce because of the hardness of their hearts. In Matthew 5:32, Jesus gave the exception clause: “But I say to you…” and repeated it again in Matthew 19:9: “Except for the cause of unchastity.” Unchastity comes from the Greek word ‘porneia’ and is a more comprehensive term than adultery. Porneia has different meanings involving sexual immorality, uncleanness, indecency, misconduct, indiscretion or unfaithfulness. Many translations render this word as ‘fornication’ or ‘sexual immorality’. Divorce was only on the grounds of unchastity - some violation of sexual morality. Even in the case of “unchastity,” divorce was not commanded but allowed.
Divorce is not God’s design for marriage; divorce is humanity’s failure to keep God’s design. It is not, however, the unpardonable sin. Can a person be divorced, marry again, and expect the favor of God? Craig Blomberg gives an answer to that question: “Ancient Jews (like Greeks and Romans) almost universally agreed that lawful divorce granted a person the right to remarry. So Jesus’ words would almost certainly have been taken as permission for remarriage when divorce was permitted, i.e., after marital unfaithfulness.”
(Matthew 5:32) "whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery."
(Matthew 19:9) "whoever marries her who is put away commits adultery."
Therefore we can define adultery for a married person as: An act of sexual union with any person, other than their own lawful spouse in the sight of God.
Now we go to 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.
Therefore, if one is no longer bound by the marriage covenant, it means no longer the lawful spouse in the sight of God. The innocent party is called to peace and therefore permitted to remarry.
Concerning Pornography:
You need to look at the DEFINITIONS of words and the application to Scripture.
Watch…
Fornication is ANY immoral sexual behavior!!! It covers the multitude of sexual sins.
Adultery is ANY fornication by one who is married!!! Engaging in any such sin becomes adultery.
Fornication (Gr. πορνεία, Gtr. porneia) is a general word for various types of unlawful sexual acts. In the physical sense, it may include adultery in the married relationship, sex between unmarried persons, prostitution (including PORNography), incest, rape, homosexuality, bestiality, etc., and the interpretation of this word depends upon the context in which it is used.
As Jesus used it in the context of marriage (Matthew 5:32; 19:9), fornication can be defined as, "any sexual activity which is unlawful in God's sight, which will exclude the offenders from the kingdom of God, and bring His judgment upon them if they do not repent (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21; Hebrews 13:4; Revelation 21:8; 22:15). A man who commits fornication sins against his own body (1 Corinthians 6:18).
FORNICATE, v.i. [L. fornicor, from fornix, a brothel.] To commit lewdness, as an unmarried man or woman, or as a married with an unmarried man or woman.
FORNICATION, n. [L. fornicatio.]

ADULTERY, n. [L. adulterium. See Adulterate.]
1. Violation of the marriage bed; a crime, or a civil injury, which introduces, or may introduce, into a family, a spurious offspring.
By the laws of Connecticut, the sexual intercourse of any man, with a married woman, is the crime of adultery in both: such intercourse of a married man, with an unmarried woman, is fornication in both, and adultery of the man, within the meaning of the law respecting divorce; but not a felonious adultery in either, or the crime of adultery at common law, or by statute. This latter offense is, in England, proceeded with only in the ecclesiastical courts.
In common usage, adultery means the unfaithfulness of any married person to the marriage bed. In England, Parliament grant absolute divorces for infidelity to the marriage bed in either party; and the spiritual courts divorce a mensa et thoro.
2. In a scriptural sense, all manner of lewdness or unchastity, as in the seventh commandment.
3. In scripture, idolatry, or apostasy from the true God. Jeremiah 3:8, 9.

Meaning of porneia
Deuteronomy 24:1-4 - Immodest behavior or sexual immorality
Gen 1:27; 2:24 - Immoral behavior on the part of the wife, including, but not restricted to, adultery.
1.3.2. Πορνεία Is Not Limited to Immoral Sexual Intercourse
In Matthew 5:32 and 19:9, πορνεία refers primarily to physical adultery, but there are not sufficient lexical grounds for concluding that πορνεία must always refer only to immoral sexual intercourse. Further, there are theological grounds for not limiting πορνεία to immoral sexual intercourse. Lexically, πορνεία is the broadest term to describe sexual sin. For example, “In the Pauline writings the word group [πορνεύω, πορνεία, πόρνη, πόρνος, ἐκπορνεύω] evidently denotes any kind of illegitimate sexual activity.”38 Theologically, there is a figurative aspect of πορνεία: “There are numerous passages where, in imitation of the Heb., πορνεύω and its cognates are used fig. of unfaithfulness to God, who is portrayed as a husband to Israel.... It is thus not primarily the sexual intercourse that shocks the prophets, but the absolute lack of personal faithfulness.”39 Consequently, πορνεία does not refer only to immoral sexual intercourse. It can also refer to sexual sins that do not involve intercourse. For example, although the NT authors who use the word πορνεία obviously were not thinking of being addicted to internet pornography, by implication πορνεία can apply to that-similar to how “Do not get drunk with wine” (Eph 5:18) also implies that you should not get drunk “with beer, whiskey, rum, vodka, or champagne.”40 Indulging in pornography is a type of sexual immorality that could be grounds for divorce.41 Churches and their elders should deal with such situations on a case-by-case basis.42
Instone-Brewer, “Divorce,” 215: “The term porneia and its cognates are used in the NT to refer to visiting a prostitute (1 Cor 6:13-15, 18), incest (1 Cor 5:1), general sexual sin by a married person (1 Cor 7:2), use of cultic prostitutes (Rev 2:20-21) and the sin of the ‘whore of Babylon’ (Rev 17:2, 4; 18:3; 19:2). The most common meaning is general ‘sexual immorality’ (e.g., Acts 15:20; Eph 5:3; Col 3:5). This family of words is used outside the NT with the same wide range of meanings.” See also Thomas R. Edgar, “Divorce and Remarriage for Adultery or Desertion,” in Divorce and Remarriage: Four Christian Views, ed. H. Wayne House, Spectrum Multiview Books (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 1990), 162-87; Keener, And Marries Another, 28-33; MacArthur, Divorce Dilemma, 23-24, 47-48.
John Piper’s view has at least three problems: 1. It seems to commit the exegetical fallacy of appealing to unknown or unlikely meanings.33 Piper’s argument hinges on Matthew’s using πορνεία in a peculiar way that differs from its standard usage in the rest of the NT and other contemporaneous literature. “If anything, porneia should mean more than adulterous infidelity.”
Commentary (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2013), 561: “‘Sexual immorality’ is broader than pure adultery. For instance, I believe that pornography violates this passage and is grounds for divorce.” See Luke Gilkerson, “Pornography Use as Grounds for Divorce” (MA thesis, Reformed Theological Seminary, 2015). From the abstract: “This thesis demonstrates (1) Jesus gives grounds for divorce in cases of πορνείᾳ (porneia) in Matthew 19:9, (2) the various ways commentators have attempted to define porneia, (3) rightly understood, porneia essentially means sexual rebellion, and (4) when the nature of modern pornography is properly understood, especially against the background of first century prostitution in the Roman Empire, it becomes clear pornography use can most certainly be considered porneia in its own right.” See also Frame, The Doctrine of the Christian Life, 775-76; David Murray, “Divorce for Pornography?,” Head, Heart, Hand: Informing Minds, Moving Hearts, Directing Hands, 9 September 2015, headhearthand.org/blog/ 2015/09/09/divorce-for-pornography/; Newheiser, Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage, 240-41. For a more tentative approach, see Storms, Tough Topics 2, 231-32. Cf. Kyle Harper, “Porneia: The Making of a Christian Sexual Norm,” Journal of Biblical Literature 131 (2012): 363-83. 42This may raise practical questions about how to discern when a spouse’s πορνεία apart from sexual intercourse may be a ground for divorce. It is a wisdom issue-just like excommunication for such behavior is a wisdom issue. For example, a professing Christian man who unrepentantly refuses to stop indulging in pornography and visiting strip clubs is in a different category than a professing Christian man who browses a sports website and accidentally sees a pornographic image and does not immediately turn away but later repents.
Recall Romans 1:25-27, Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Using pornography is the same as committing physical adultery. It is unfaithfulness. It is fornication. When one fornicates outside of the marriage, that is called adultery. Fornication, we have seen, comes in many forms. Watching pornography is making a conscious, willful decision to engage in sexual activity without one’s partner, defiling the marriage bed. When a person views pornography, they have broken the marriage covenant. When a person looks at pornography, it causes the spouse to feel all of the same emotions as if they had a physical relationship with another person (shock, anger, betrayal, rejection, shame, heartbreak, devastation). A woman will feel as though she isn’t good enough or attractive enough and she can never measure up to the females portrayed in pornography, many of whom are surgically altered and engage in perverse, objectifying, and unhealthy sexual acts. In many ways, pornography is even more harmful than a physical encounter. It is partaking in one of the most satanic activities this present world has known. It is the highest level of moral pollution. It not only corrupts the mind, creating addiction, but it opens the door to demons. Pornography is Satan’s snare by which he seeks to pervert sexual intimacy created by God and create lustful appetites in humans. Those who watch it are actually hooked spiritually with those who are performing the acts on screen, creating soul-ties with them. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! 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.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him (1 Cor. 6:15-17). Those who willfully choose to permit such profane material into their homes are guilty of sexual immorality in the same way that those who perform are. They stand condemned before God. It is an evil, vile industry created to take us down. Those who watch it need deliverance and are on their way to hell. This is all without even making mention of the fact that most of the actors in porn are Satanic Ritual Abuse victims, molested, and trafficked.
Jesus says even to look at a woman with lust is committing adultery with her in your heart (Matthew 5:27-28). Masturbating using pornography is going leaps and bounds beyond “looking”. Psychologically, there is no difference between sexual intercourse and pornography. The brain accepts it as the same reality. Only, pornography is more damaging cognitively and spiritually. Pornography use is an action - an egregious one carried to fruition that breaks the marital covenant. Aside from the clear Words of God, the Holy Spirit and a little discernment and common sense tells us what constitutes immoral sexual behavior (i.e., fornication/porneia).
Yes, pornography use by a married person is adultery. And it is one of the worst forms of it. It is up to the victimized spouse whether they feel they can reconcile with the adulterer. Matthew 5:32 permits divorce for adultery, and God will not hold it against the victim if they leave as well as remarry. Of course, God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), but He allows it in the case of adultery as it breaks the marital bond (as does abandonment, 1 Corinthians 7:15). Reconciliation is an option. If they are both believers, then this can be achieved after the guilty party has gone through repentance and deliverance. Sadly, this is not the common outcome, as cheating often has irreparable effects on the marriage. Keep in mind, 60% of divorces end, in part, as a result of pornography use (as of 2002 - that rate is likely higher now with increased addiction to internet pornography). Pornography is cheating, pure and simple. It is the majority view of evangelical Christians that pornography use is grounds for divorce, and church leaders and elders counsel couples accordingly.
1.4. Jesus Does Not Qualify Πορνεία with the Words Repeated or Unrepentant In 2009 Bethlehem Baptist Church’s elders articulated this position: “Divorce may be permitted when a spouse decisively and physically deserts the relationship; commits repeated, unrepentant adultery; or is guilty of protracted, unrepentant life-endangerment.”43 I agree with that sentence, but I think it could wrongly imply that divorce is illegitimate in certain instances when it is biblically permissible. In particular, there is insufficient scriptural warrant to require that divorce is legitimate only when the adultery is repeated and unrepentant. The only possible scriptural warrant I am aware of is assuming that “hardness of heart” in Matthew 19:8 and Mark 10:5 refers to Jeremiah 3 and 4:4.44 That is possible but difficult to prove, and such a tenuous connection is insufficient for narrowing what constitutes grounds for divorce. That reading also does not harmonize with how the Gospel of Matthew portrays Joseph’s planning to divorce Mary (Matt 1:19). Martin Luther argues, No one should be compelled to take back a public prostitute or an adulterer if he does not want to do so or is so disgusted that he cannot do so. We read (Matt. 1:19) that although Joseph was a pious man, he was not willing to take Mary, his betrothed wife, when he saw that she was pregnant; and he is praised for being “resolved to divorce her quietly” instead of registering a complaint against her and having her executed, as he had a right to do.45 When a spouse commits πορνεία and genuinely repents and asks the spouse they sinned against to forgive them, the sinned-against spouse must forgive the repentant spouse. Ideally that couple will not divorce, and the sinned-against spouse will pursue the repentant spouse with the same unselfish loyal love with which (a) Hosea loved Gomer the whore, (b) Yahweh loved Israel the whore, and (c) Jesus loves the church. But Jesus does not say πορνεία must happen repeatedly in order for it to qualify as a ground for divorce. Nor does Jesus say that the spouse guilty of πορνεία must be unrepentant in order for their action to qualify as a ground for divorce. (And the word unrepentant assumes it is possible for the non-adulterous spouse to accurately discern whether the adulterous spouse is genuinely repentant.) Depending on the circumstances, divorce may be the unfortunate consequence of a spouse’s (even repentant) covenant-breaking sin. I agree with Newheiser: I do not believe the innocent spouse can be compelled (e.g., under the threat of church discipline) not to exercise the right to divorce on the grounds of adultery, even if the adulterer claims to be repentant. Wronged spouses who refuse to fully forgive usually act this way because they are not convinced that the repentance is genuine (e.g., this has happened on multiple occasions). In addition, the sin might have been so serious (e.g., rape, molesting a child) that they do not wish to pursue reconciliation. Or they may have decided that they no longer wish to remain married to a person who has callously broken the covenant or to live with the consequences of the sin (e.g., a sexually transmitted disease). Sometimes forgiven sin still has consequences (Gal. 6:6-7). The consequence could be the end of a marriage. Wronged spouses, however, must guard their hearts. Bitterness and hatred are always sinful (Eph. 4:31-32)
I don't agree in the part where one can remarry after being left by unbelieving spouse..it is just that you are allowing the person to comitt the sin ADULTERY..no words from the bible can be twisted..come on people!what is really going with you???
@@theunveiledchristian6866 Excatly remarriage is only allowed for death of a spouse even for "divorce" No where else stands remarriage people ad there own words. If Paul says not under bondage if abadoned but still bound for life he says it in twice in bibel. I agree with you.
who left whom.....and when is this adultery committed...where does it say, that after the one has left.....they can wait until the one commits adultery......
The divorce and remarriage for adultery doctrine is based solely on the supposed guilt of the wife in Matthew 5:32, and Matthew 19:9. However, the wife in Matthew 5:31-32 is clearly not guilty of fornication because the Jews that Jesus was speaking to were still living under the law, and if fornication was discovered, there was a moral obligation to report the offender according to Deuteronomy 22:13-24. The wife, who would have been found guilty of fornication, was subsequently stoned to death, according to the law, which had still governed the Jews up until Christ's death on the cross. The same for a woman caught in adultery, according to Leviticus 20:10. How could a wife, guilty of fornication, or adultery, under the law of Moses, be given a writing of divorcement and be caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her, that is divorced? Jesus is clear, in these examples, that the wife is not guilty of fornication, but is still caused to commit adultery if she marries another man now that she is divorced. This is the only way that Matthew 5:31-32, and Matthew 19:9 keep harmony with Romans 7:2-3, and 1 Corinthians 7:39.
Unlike the synoptic gospels of Mark and Luke, which were written to evangelize the Gentiles, Matthew was written to the Jews, and has of 24 characteristics that identify it as intended for the house of Israel.
The ancient Jews called the betrothed (engaged) "husband" and "wife" according to Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Matthew 1:18-25, and Luke 2:5-7.
Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage) was never for fornication or adultery. Allowing those guilty of fornication and adultery to remain living and become a prospect for remarriage was against the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22:13-24 and Leviticus 20:10, which commanded that those who were found guilty of fornication and adultery be put away from Israel, and stoned to death.
The law of Moses was not given to the world, only to the Jews. From the exodus, to Christ's death on the cross, the law of Moses governed the Jewish people. But when Jesus died on the cross, he caused the Jews to be dead to the law of Moses so they could be joined to Christ under a New Covenant. This is what Jesus's fulfillment of the law of Moses, including Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage), means. Paul gave several warnings to Christian believers against keeping the law of Moses over following Christ and his commands under the New Covenant with Christ. Keeping the whole law is no longer possible for those in Israel and that is why Christ prophesied that the temple would be destroyed. These scriptures make it clear that if you choose the law over Christ, that you must keep the whole law: Romans 7:4, Galatians 3:1-9, Galatians 3:10-29, Galatians 4:1-7, Galatians 4:21-31, and Galatians 5:1-15.
Being unequally yoked to unbelievers is not a cause for divorce, once two become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, according to 1 Corinthians 7:12-14. Many one-flesh covenant marriages between unbelievers are recognized by God in the scriptures, most notably the marriage covenants between Herodias and King Herod's brother Philip, Potiphar and his wife, Ahab and Jezebel, and Ruth to her deceased husband Mahlon by Boaz when he took her to be his wife.
Some are teaching that 1 Corinthians 7:15 implies that those who are abandoned by the unbeliever, are "no longer bound" in a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The reason this is in conflict is due to the way they word it, which gives it an entirely different meaning, and context. 1 Corinthians 7:15, says, "15But 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." As you can see, the actual scripture says "not under bondage," which means that the husband or wife is not enslaved to sin with the unbelieving spouse, and is free to worship Christ in peace. Subsequent translations have changed the words to imply that they nullify the marriage covenant, when this is not at all the case. The issue that this creates is with 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, which says, "10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife." As you can see, those who claim 1 Corinthians 7:15 has the Apostle Paul giving permission to remarry do not understand that the abandoned husband in 1 Corinthians 7:11 is expected to also remain unmarried, in order to be reconciled with his wife. The theory that 1 Corinthians 7:15 nullifies two as being one-flesh in marriage puts the Apostle Paul directly at odds with Christ, by implying that he has issued an opposing command.
Some also teach that 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 is referring to both divorced men, and virgin women, and not exclusively to men and women (virgins) who have never been married. This has been falsely taught for some time in churches as referring to anyone who is not currently in a marriage, which, for them, also includes those who are divorced. This is a very false assumption, and puts these verses in a different context, that is at odds with both the teachings of Christ and the apostle Paul. We see Paul refer to virgins, which signifies the unmarried who have never before been wed, which is the proper context here. We see Paul saying clearly that it is good for virgins, which is also speaking to never before wed men here, "that it is good for a man so to be." He goes on to say, "Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife." Who is he referring to here? Men who, like himself, have never married. The word "bound", in these verses, is a clear reference to betrothal (engagement) and not to a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The ancient Jews were considered bound as husband and wife during the betrothal (espousal/engagement) before becoming one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, through consummation. This is affirmed by the context of the term "bound" seen in Numbers 30:14-16.
The Jewish couples in ancient Israel, who were betrothed (engaged) were also bound together until death, either by execution for fornication, or by other causes. Then Paul says, "But and if thou marry, thou has not sinned", which is who? The men who had never married in the congregation at Corinth. So he begins with verses 25-26 speaking exclusively to men that have never married. Paul then says, "and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned", which is speaking directly about virgin women who have never been married, within the congregation, not divorced women. Notice that verse 34 says, "There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband." Paul speaks plainly when he says "there is a difference between a wife and a virgin." Paul goes on to say, "But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry." This is speaking of a father with a virgin daughter who has become of age to bear children when it says, "let them marry." This is a clear command to a third party, the father, and not a divorced man who has taken a virgin to be his wife. Paul then says, "Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well." This is referring again to the father who decides it is better for his daughter not to marry, but to stay betrothed (engaged), under the present distress, by saying that he "hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin." Paul then says, "So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better", which means that fathers of virgin daughters in the congregation do well if they choose to allow their betrothed virgin to marry, and fathers, who choose not to allow their virgin daughters to marry do better, under the current climate. For more proper context of the word "bound", let's look further down in this chapter to verse 39, which says, "39The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:39). For so long, these scriptures, between verses 25-38, have been twisted and used to enable divorce and remarriage, by wayward churches and teachers, and have caused many to stumble and to be trapped in unlawful unions.
The use of the woman at the well, in regard to marriage, falsely implies that Christ was endorsing remarriage after a divorce. This teaching is in defiance of Matthew 22:23-28, which shows a woman who had been widowed seven times, and entered into each subsequent marriage without any scriptural conflicts with God's law of marriage (one-flesh covenant) seen in Genesis 2:23-24.
Mark 10:1-12 is the same biblical record of Matthew 19:1-12, which both record Christ's teaching that day beyond the Jordan. There is no mention of the words "fornication", "writing of divorcement", or "divorced" in Mark's Gospel, because Mark was not written to the Jews (as Matthew's Gospel was), but to evangelize the Romans and Greeks, who had no knowledge of the law in Deuteronomy 22 or Deuteronomy 24. All of these facts draw a clear understanding that remarriage after a divorce, under the New Covenant with Christ, is a scripturally false and baseless teaching. Please use wisdom when living in any situation against what the scriptures command.
NOT UNDER “BONDAGE”…….
If the unbelieving depart..... let him depart. A brother or sister is not under the bondage of servitude [Greek word Douloo] because of the separation, but should intercede for the salvation of the departed one, praying for his/her salvation and for reconciliation.
A Testimony from a Sister in Christ :
Quote :
But just to be clear, here is something I recently discovered:
I finally looked up the Greek and compared what Paul said about a woman being bound to her husband as long as he lives (1 Corinthians 7:39), and how when the unbelieving spouse leaves, the other spouse is not 'bound' in such circumstances (1 Cor. 7:15). Did you know that 'bound' is two different Greek words in these verses?
1 Corinthians 7:39 A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.
'bound' is the Greek verb 'deo'
deó: to tie, bind
Original Word: δέω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: deó
Phonetic Spelling: (deh'-o)
Short Definition: I bind
Definition: I bind, tie, fasten; I impel, compel; I declare to be prohibited and unlawful.
NAS Exhaustive Concordance
Word Origin
a prim. verb
Definition
to tie, bind
NASB Translation
bind (7), binding (1), binds (2), bound (23), imprisoned (4), prisoners (1), put...in chains (1), tied (4).
Now, in 1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
'bound' is the Greek word 'douloo'
1402. douloó ►
Strong's Concordance
douloó: to enslave, bring under subjection
Original Word: δουλόω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: douloó
Phonetic Spelling: (doo-lo'-o)
Short Definition: I enslave
Definition: I enslave.
HELPS Word-studies
Cognate: 1402 doulóō - enslave (passive, "become enslaved"), focusing on the status of being a bond-slave. In contrast to the other verb-form of the same root (1398 /douleúō), 1402 (doulóō) stresses the results (effects) of enslavement. That is, what automatically goes with belonging to another. See 1401 (doulos).
So there is a difference between the bond between a husband and wife (for life) and this being 'bound' or 'under bondage'.
So I am still bound to my husband (married in God's eyes, no matter what man says), but not under bondage to him. He does not rule over me, but I am not free to marry someone else because he is still my husband.
It is interesting that Paul says these two things in the same chapter
First he says the believer is not 'bound' under the circumstance of their unbelieving spouse leaving them, and then he says that a wife is 'bound' to her husband as long as he is still living. It seems to contradict, but it doesn't. It's a different word. - Ricky B
-
“Not Bound”, No, HAS not been enslaved ( PAST TENSE! ) Written so that a spouse would not be conflicted to obey the husband and follow his pagan religion and honor her husband over following Jesus. Just like the movie “The Case For Christ” in which the husband gives an ultimatum “It is either me or your Jesus, which is it going to be?” This shows you are to pick your savior Jesus.
Kehillah in Corinth I 7:14-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
14 For, [T.N. following the principle of bikkurim], the ba’al who is an Apikoros is mekudash b’Ruach Hakodesh (set apart as holy in the Ruach Hakodesh) by the isha, and the isha who is an Apikoros likewise by the Ach b’Moshiach; otherwise, your yeladim are tema’im (unclean); but now they are tehorim (clean). [MALACHI 2:15]
15 But, if the one who is an Apikoros(apostate- a person who renounces a religious or political belief or principle) separates and departs, let the separation occur; the Ach b’Moshiach(brothers in Moshiach) HAS not been enslaved(past tense), or the Achot b’Moshiach(sister in Moshiach) in such cases; but Hashem ('the Name’)- is used to refer to God, particularly as an epithet for the Tetragrammaton, when avoiding God's more formal title, Adonai ('my master’).)has given you a kri’ah b’shalom(calling peace).
16 For how do you know, isha(woman), if you will not bring your basherter (destined mate), your ba’al(Husband), to Yeshu’at Eloheinu (the Salvation of our G-d)?
So a spouse can become harsh and hard hearted and divorce? And she can wait for you to remarry and then she can remarry and it won’t be adultery for her?
What if the unbelieving Spouse departs from a believer spouse will they eligible to get merry to a Christian Men or women who are young in Age...or who has already devorced from an unbeliever spouse and married to a Christian Men or women...Should they devorced in case of Adultery or they remain in a Merriage....please reply me.
Romans 7:1 By law a married woman is Bound to her husband As Long As He Is Alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him. 3 So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, She IS Called an Adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man
I disagree with a lot of what Doug is saying : I am an sda and I do have issues in this area - BUT there is a lot of things Doug didnt say on the other side of the coin..
What would be the other side of the coin?
Thanks for the video ! Where can I find the others ?? I believe Pr. Doug made 10 sermons about the ten commandments this year, but I cannot find them on the Amazing Facts website. Please help !
Amazing Facts is actually going to put the entire series into a dvd set...not sure exactly when they will be available though. Pretty soon I would imagine.
MrMikeSacCentral Okay ! Thank you for letting me know.
This is common misteaching that's a church has been selling. Better teaching from David Pawson and Dr. Joseph Webb on UA-cam that explains this in God's words not Church tradition words.
Totally agree. This man is deceived and deceiving. I hope he will watch David Pawson and Dr. Joseph Webb. I have a playlist on divorce and remarriage adultery with over 125 videos of correct teaching and testimonies of those who repented.
@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways I will be sure and find and subscribe to your channel that sounds awesome, thank you.
What happens if you and your partner are in love and plan to get married two to three years from now; however, you can not get married now?
Maquidou F2F u are NOT ALLOWED TO LIVE IN SIN because then you are living in fornication. U must wait till you are married.
God bless you sister
Maquidou F2F I met my wife when i was 17 & it was love at 1st sight, when i was 19 some1 told me it was sin to have sex before marriage & we didnt know the Lord yet but we didn't feel right having sex anymore....God Bless!!!
Amen!! God is working in both of us as he did with you. I was there pondering how I am going to tell my GF about not no more sex. At the same time, she too was thinking the same. For both of us was in Prayer and asking for guidance. At the time wich was a couple of weeks my GF was not a Christian yet. We are on the right track with God so praise be the God almighty. He is with us and is correcting our flaws. Amen!!! thank you for the response Rodney
Maquidou F2F look up the true meaning of fornication this has nothing to do with being unmarried. People have been falsley led for over 1600 hundred years. The white roman catholics changed the translation. Look it up on youtube the true meaning.
Isaiah 53:5, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed.
For salvation, people just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in the water and of the spirit. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled with the Holy Ghost and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is.
We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD.
We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritan. Our salvation has to match-up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away.
Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
God told Noah exactly how to be saved, how he must build the ark. Noah didn't come up with his own plan like people are doing today. A sinner's prayer, you just have to believe, etc which is not in the bible.
The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church.
It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. If you believe in this message, help spread it in the name of Jesus Christ. God bless you!
what happens when repents and get baptized after he has been married to 3 wives, which is acceptable to his traditions, e.g. an African king? Must be desert his 'last' two wives?
Good question. If he has repented and been baptize, he must no longer follow man's traditions, but follow Christ and the law of God. The bible states a man or a woman must be married to one spouse. Follow no man follow Christ.
He is in adultery if he is having sex with anyone other than the first wife. The length of time, getting baptized or having children doesn't change the fact that his only wife is the first one if she is still alive.
what if u have been married b 4 & got a divorce & u re married. but at time of the first marriage u didn't know the debt that GOD has 4 two people when they get married, until u separated from ur 2nd husband? what do u do then, divorce ur 2nd husband & go back 2 the first 1?
These are complete stages if someone would like to reinforce the view about this topic. Pastors in which during their preaching don't contradict the bible. Nor do they add or rest Jesus´s teaching. Finally, regardless how difficult or how straight we are about this under our own understanding while developing our relationship with God. Let´s everyday; during our daily praying to lead us in light and in truth to do His will above ours for His grace and by Him we should liveth.
Blessings

Elder Bachelor I have tuned to you on more than one occasion I even saw you when you came to Jamaica in Mandeville. I cannot understand thou how you could publicly declare that to divorce and remarry is okay depending on the circumstances. It does not say that in scripture what I have read and seen are these. Romans 7: 1-3 Luke 16:18 Sr Corinthians 7:39, Mark 10:11-12. As to the admonition given by Paul please note what he said later to the unmarried and widow, not divorces. It is now a cancer in the truth because the elders teachers in Israel is making this covenant of no effect. Only death ends a marriage. One can divorce yes but such person has to remain as is or be reconciled. You see elder there are consequences to our decisions He behooves us to seek him out 1st Matthew 6:33. Remember it explicitly says all things would be added in obedience if we seeked Him out. It goes to reason if we stand in obedience blessings would be our reward. We know of the blessings and curse. The partner we choose comes what may we have to stand our ground. The explanation given of Matthew 19 is not accurate. It did not say that you can remarry if adultery is done please read the scriptures I posted because with this misinformation you are sending souls to hell. Only death ends a marriage any one who remarried whilst their party is still alive commits adultery, break the 7th commandment. Only God can end a marriage and this he does through desth. It is a covenant even when earth grants a divorce the record of that marriage still stands in heaven. I am so disappointed in this sermon please fast and pray about this as your soul anchors on this.
This is a beautiful and well spoken summary of this misteaching.
You are totally correct. This man is in grave error. Judgment is coming to the false teachers.
Amazing book to read on this subject that summarizes God's truth; Divorce and Remarriage by Joseph Webb. (Undeniable facts and all references are sited!)
@Stephanie Waber ...well it doesn't so much as it let's God, the disciples, the apostle, and the early church leaders say it without exception up to the year 1519.
@Stephanie Waber amen, I am in the same boat. In a three and a half year stand for my marriage God has done nothing but reveal this to me sometimes in as many as five dreams in a night. I Praise Jesus. I was led to the truth before I was led astray! For now I will focus on Jesus and a miracle with my marriage! God has told me this teaching more clearly than anything else in my life in my 20-year walk as a Christian. It is only recently I ran onto this book that summarized what he has been revealing to me in study, prayer, dreams, etc. Sadly our society pushes feel good ISM which may tragically cost souls in the end.
Matthew 5:31Jesus said, “Furthermore it has been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except fornication (porneia/sex before marriage) causes her to commit adultery (moicheia/sexual sin of married person); and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery. (Greek present continuous tense or state of being an adulterer)
no I don't think there is a Biblical position to defend your view of a ....fresh start.....you may want to watch the Church of Christ videos to see why as they seem to have the most comprehensive presentation, on this subject...
Covenants
Jeremiah 34:18-20 NIV “Those who have violated my covenant and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two and then walked between its pieces. The leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials, the priests and all the people of the land who walked between the pieces of the calf, I will deliver into the hands of their enemies who want to kill them. Their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.”
www.bible.com/111/jer.34.18-20.niv
2 Samuel 21 (NLV)
The Gibeonites Kill Seven of Saul’s Grandsons
21 While David was king there was a time without food for three years. David went to the Lord. The Lord said, “It is because of Saul and his house of blood, for he put the Gibeonites to death.” 2 So the king called the Gibeonites. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but of the people who were left of the Amorites. The sons of Israel had made an agreement with them. But Saul had wanted to kill them because he thought so much of the sons of Israel and Judah.) 3 David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? How can I pay for the sin, so you may bring good to the land of the Lord?” 4 The Gibeonites said to him, “We will take no silver or gold from Saul or his family. And it is not for us to put any man to death in Israel.” David said, “I will do for you whatever you say.” 5 So they said to the king, “Saul destroyed us and planned to keep us from staying in any land of Israel. 6 Let seven men from his sons be given to us. We will hang them before the Lord at Gibeon on the Lord’s mountain.” And the king said, “I will give them.”
7 But the king kept alive Mephibosheth, the son of Saul’s son Jonathan, because David had made a promise to Saul’s son Jonathan before the Lord. 8 The king took the two sons of Aiah’s daughter Rizpah, Armoni and Mephibosheth, whom she had born to Saul. And he took the five sons of Saul’s daughter Merab, whom she had born to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite. 9 He gave them to the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the mountain before the Lord. The seven of them died together. They were put to death in the first days of gathering time, when the barley was ready to gather.
Deuteronomy 23:21-23
"When you make a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not delay to pay it, for it would be sin in you, and the LORD your God will surely require it of you.
Numbers 30:2
"If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or takes an oath to bind himself with a binding obligation, he shall not violate his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
Psalm 15:4 But he honors those who fear the Lord; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts and does not change.
1 Kings 2:42-44, 46 “So the king sent for Shimei and demanded, “Didn’t I make you swear by the Lord and warn you not to go anywhere else or you would surely die? And you replied, ‘The sentence is fair; I will do as you say.’ Then why haven’t you kept your oath to the Lord and obeyed my command?” The king also said to Shimei, “You certainly remember all the wicked things you did to my father, David. May the Lord now bring that evil on your own head.
Then, at the king’s command, Benaiah son of Jehoiada took Shimei outside and killed him. So the kingdom was now firmly in Solomon’s grip.”

Deuteronomy 22:19 The woman will then remain the man’s wife, and he may never divorce her.
Deuteronomy 22:22 “If a man is discovered committing adultery, both he and the woman must die. In this way, you will purge Israel of such evil.
Deuteronomy 22:24 The man must die because he violated another man’s wife. In this way, you will purge this evil from among you.
Deuteronomy 22:29 Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he may never divorce her as long as he lives.

You cover the Lord’s altar with tears, weeping and groaning because he pays no attention to your offerings and doesn’t accept them with pleasure. 14 You cry out, “Why doesn’t the Lord accept my worship?” I’ll tell you why! Because the Lord witnessed the vows you and your wife made when you were young. But you have been unfaithful to her, though she remained your faithful partner, the wife of your marriage vows.
15 Didn’t the Lord make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are his.[b] And what does he want? Godly children from your union. So guard your heart; remain loyal to the wife of your youth. 16 “For I hate divorce!”[c] says the Lord, the God of Israel. “To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty,[d]” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife.”
Psalms 76:11-12 NIV
“Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them; let all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared. He breaks the spirit of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.”

Deuteronomy 23:21-25 21 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the Lord thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
Numbers 30:1-2 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded. 2 If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
Psalm 89:34
33But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him, nor ever betray My faithfulness. 34I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips. 35Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness-I will not lie to David
Jeremiah 33:20 This is what the LORD says: If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night cease to occupy their appointed time, 21then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant and with My ministers the Levites who are priests, so that David will not have a son to reign on his throne. 22As the hosts of heaven cannot be counted and as the sand on the seashore cannot be measured, so too will I multiply the descendants of My servant David and the Levites who minister before Me.”
Deuteronomy 7:9
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.
Psalm 89:28
I will forever preserve My loving devotion for him, and My covenant with him will stand fast.
Isaiah 54:10
Though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be shaken, My loving devotion will not depart from you, and My covenant of peace will not be broken," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
Leviticus 26:44
And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.
Numbers 23:19
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Malachi 3:6
For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Joshua 6:26 At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath: "Cursed before the LORD is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho: "At the cost of his firstborn son he will lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates."
1 Kings 16:34 In Ahab's time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the LORD spoken by Joshua son of Nun.
Seems like a washed down interpretation. You can divorce/ separate for fornication (any sexual immorality 'pornea'), but only for a period of healing and reconciliation for you are ought to forgive your spouse if he or she truly repents as Jesus forgave you your bigger sins/debt. You cannot force anyone to live with you; so, if your spouse wants to abandon and leave you, he or she can go, but you are still bonded. However, you are ought to pray for him or her to repent and come back and God is faithful and mighty to do that. If you are divorced with kids already, you cannot simply confess and continue in your sin, but to abandon it, while still taking care of your kids, even though they are the kids of adultery, and remain just as friends with you 2nd,3rd,4th,etc... 'wife'.The only instance you can remarry is when your first and only spouse, the spouse of your covenant and youth, dies. AND even then it is recommended to stay single, but if you would remarry after your spouse dies- it is not a sin.
Exactly. Only death ends the marriage. Jesus said so.
fornication vs adultery....what is the difference...
Philip Buckley fornication is having sexual relations during engagement with or without the person your engaged to/adultery is a married person cheating on their spouse😊
@@llllllll4264 thanx....
Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I (Jesus) tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for fornication (porneia), and marries another woman commits adultery (moicheia).”
what is the difference between adultery and fornication....because the exception is porneia which the traditional translation has been fornication......
1 Corinthians 7:27 says seek not to be loosed so I disagree with this teaching
adulterous relationships....between two people, who are not married...hmmm....I thought that was for married people....
Mathew 19, 3-9
We all know the Adultery is wrong, but many people in the bible had multiple wives, so how was that not wrong? Does anyone dare speak to that? Abraham, Jacob, David, Solomon, and many others. Moreover, men were even commanded to take their brother's wife if he should die suddenly. So can anyone explain this? I am very confused as to why it happened that way and was not wrong.
Matthew 19:9 is referring to someone who are engageg. During the time when mary and joseph were to be married. Mary became pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Joseph could've put her away. Because he hadn't had sex with her. The Holy Spirit spoke to joseph to let him know that mary hadn't comitted fornication.(porneia). That she was with child due to the holy spirit. During the time of mary and joseph. They first chose their spouse. They were betrothed. Engaged to be married. If either committed fornication during that time. They could divorce. By giving them a bill of divorce. Before the covenant took place. The verse Matthew19:9 is not referring to those who are married. Married couples don't commit fornication. They committ adultery. It's referring to someone who committs fornication during their engagement. (Betrothed). That verse can be confusing. Please take a second or third look. We are instructed only to remarry when a spouse has deceased. Matthew 19:9 is for the engaged not the married.
i married a woman that was sexual abused by her father,she was into a born again church.can this christian man comment on this problem?
She needs to be delivered . Break this curse brought on by her father. Greater is he that is in her than he that is in the world.
First, the Jews taught that only man can divorce his wife. The State of Israel and Orthodox Jews have been teaching this almost exclusively since the Torah. But, no one has asked why did they teach 'only man' can initiate the divorce. Then after you have answered that question the next two come into play. Does those reasons mean anything to us Believers today? And can we see it taught by Jesus speaking about the Law and Paul to believers. Yes! Mark's account was written to what Jesus said in private and this gospel was written to the Gentiles (they already had women divorces the Jews did not). Paul said in 1 Cor. 7:10-11 a woman can not remarry after she separates from her husband (as it was not lawful according to the Jews for a woman to put away her husband according to Scripture). And this is why the later part of that verse in 1 Cor. 7:11b does not say the man must "remain unmarried or be reconciled to his wife."

Michael Sayen “Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.”
Luke 16:18 KJV
bible.com/1/luk.16.18.kjv
Yes, this is absolutely true. But, we have the rest (remaining) part of scripture that gives the exception clause. We can't through out the entire Book of Matthew because we have the Book of Mark. But we use them both together to get a fuller picture. We do that in all the other doctrines and parables in all the Gospels. Its a full look, not one or the other.
Michael Sayen and we cannot throw out the words of Christ.......EVER!
Exactly. And those who don't look at Matt. 19:9 are throwing out words.
I always hear this. Stay in ypur secnd marriage. Old things are new. The baptimak sanctification clause. All pastors preach this. If thats the case ypu wpuld have to remarry yoir current spouse beause thats an old marriage. Or does that mean homosexual marriage is sanctified? What if the divorced spouse is hoping for reconciliation? Is he or she suposed to pray for a divorce? Would that be a sin to pray for sin? God honors all marriage. Between beievers. Unbelievers. Budhist witches all marriages. Jesus gave an exception. Fornication. That is a single persons sxual sin. So if ypu try saying finding the lord permits second marriage it supersede what jesus says.
GOD HONOURS ALL MARRIAGES. NOT RE!!!!! MARRIAGES. HEBREWS 13:4 CATCH A WAKE UP

Is it acceptable for a single male to have single female friends? I know someone who is divorced and says she will never get married again. Says just friends.
you talk, of the Bible....so where is this scrambled eggs to be found.....what you are allowing is for ones to live, in adultery.....which, I believe, makes you a partaker, of their sin...
once again, the exception, as outlined in Matthew is porneia....and Erasmus is said to have changed that definition from fornication, to sexual immorality....opening the doors to divorce, and remarriage...
Who left you and hurt you dear😂😂😂😂
Who hurt you dear 💀
And Jesus answering said unto them,
Do ye not therefore err, because ye know NOT the scriptures, neither the power of God ? 😡
If you cheat on me, God may forgive you, but I won't.
That is a dangerous
If you won’t forgive than there won’t be no for Inès for your sin !Luke 17:3
fornication....sex outside of marriage....how is this grounds, for divorce...
so the exception clause speaks of fornication, and not adultery.....
Your dealing with Hebrew and Greek. One word in a sentence can make other words have the same meaning.
Those histories from David and Solomon, were situations in which God dealed with them personally; Jesus did not die for them. Dont you compare with them. Jesus in the new testament let us clear what divorce and remarriage is; a adulterous relationship. Living a life of sin once you have learn the true; you may check Hebrews 10 of deliberate sin.
Jesus did not live in the Old Testament? Read again, what does it say in the first chapter of John the gospel and what does it say in the book of Revelations. Who was hanging out with Abraham before walking to Sodom and Gomorrah and who did Jacob wrestle with. Do you not think that David, Solomon, Jacob and Abraham had faith in things unseen? Yes they did. Jesus is every where in the New Testament. Would we have a New Testament with out the old. What did Jesus teach from? He taught from the Old Testament because the new had not come about yet. Yes God does deal with us personally and Jesus did die for them that was what the object lesson of animal sacrifice was about and was through faith that sins were forgiven. Does it not say that Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness? Over and Over God tells the Jews he would rather they follow him, love him, obey him than to have the blood sacrifice of animals.
HE OBEY HIS FATHER!; Jesus save us from the new testament to the rest of humanity; but before that, people dealed with God directly. Really read it more.
sweetangelstronger But before that, people dealed with God directly? OK hmm. God does not deal directly with you in your life now? God is the same today as yesterday and forever. God loves and deals with us directly. The Old testament shows how God deals with us today. The Old Testament tells of Jesus and how his salvation would save us right from the first words of the Bible. Maybe you need to read it again.
No; If God is going to deal with you; you are death already; because you are leaving aside JESUS´s sacrifice; and the Holy Spirit. We cannot present to the father as we are; we do it through Jesus´s blood; so WE DO NOT dealed with God a living and righteous GOD directly; is through Jesús; and remember something; before forgiveness; it comes repent. Repent means turn away from the sin you are living with once you know the through. finally I did not deny Jesús existent as God´s son; but the difference in the NEW testament is that He needed to come in this world as human to die for you and me. Profets; Kings, all those who represented God before Jesús; dissappointed God for their weakness; Jesús did not. Have not you read how Jesús himself call second marriages? Did he allow the adulterous woman to keep on sin? If He already answer that; why is so hard to understand it? If you are going to take just some Words from Jesús himself to your own convenience, then who is the real Lord bible; is it Jesús? or you ?
Obviously, clothed in the righteousness of Christ. Maybe you should read 1 Corinthians and see what it says.
YOU LIKE TO PLAY WITH PEOPLE NOT PRESENT? LISTEN TALK IN FORNT ME LIFE SEE WHAT HAPPENT WITH YOU.
another one jumping on the band wagon for divorce and remarriage that makes about 20 different preachers in the past 2 weeks and not the first one talks about how many times does God forgives the sinner
the subject matter is....not food....it is adultery....if you stole money can you keep it....you need to use the Bible not some adage...that does not seem to relate, to the subject matter....the question is when does confession negate a covenant and change adultery, into a legitimate covenant.....you seem to be teaching that this sin is alright to live in....shame on you...
TALK IN THE BACK THE EVERY BODY HIPOCRITA?
Yet another preacher who doesn't know what adultery is. This is a shame
Can you explain your reasoning of what adultery is?
lol
No, you are not right. Remarriage is ongoing adultery so Jesus will forgive it and repentance is proven by getting out of it. I know plenty of people who the Lord told to repent of their remarriage and to get a divorce. It is the only way to "go and sin no more". Divorce plus remarriage (while first covenant spouse is alive) equals adultery. 16 “Until John the Baptist, the law of Moses and the messages of the prophets were your guides. But now the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is eager to get in.17 But that doesn’t mean that the law has lost its force. It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the smallest point of God’s law to be overturned.
18 “For example, a man who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery. And anyone who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.” Luke 16 Mark 10, Romans 7:1-3, 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, 39.
