I was very lost fresh out of leaving my foster home at age 18. I had no guidance, parents, anyone that loved me. Alcoholic. Married an older man just as lost and hurt as I was. He was a meth, pill and alcohol user. He abused me heavily. Wouldn't let me leave. I got pregnant. Married. More abuse. He wouldn't work. Just got high and lied. I had to work and put my child in daycare while he ran around. I finally left. Spirit broken. Of course, my life was cursed. Next few years was horrible hell. I was a very rebellious, broken, violent, adulterous woman. I didnt know God, nor did I believe in Him. In and out of jail. I was placed next door to a Holy Spirit filled lady. She prayed for my boyfriend and I. We were set free by the power of Jesus Christ 6 months later. We were still in bondage. Still rebellious but He was chastising us. I got pregnant. I had already given one child up for adoption. My boyfriend was dangerous. That was the deepest point of repentance I ever reached. I truly repented and cried out to Abba. He answered my prayer. He put my boyfriend in jail for a few months thus he finally got sober for the first time since he was 11. I was safe and he provided for me. I continued in seeking Him and repentence. He did such a deep work in us both. Boyfriend got out of jail. I depended solely on prayer. I witnessed abba protecting, providing, rejoicing. We had nothing. He provided us everything and made it clear he did. I had been trying to get a divorce for years and it never would happen. I got a divorce in three weeks. And we got married and truly it was all provided by Abba. It was glorious. He blessed us. Because we believed and repented. We received several deliverances. Many spirits many many were cast from us. Now, we know peace for the first time ever. We are 34 and 32. We are truly blessed and walk in truth before the Father. Jesus set us free.
I have no plan to marry, i enjoy my life with Christ Jesus.
Amen!
May the Lord make you one of His Elect🙏
Same 🙏
I can only be intimate with Jesus.
I married a divorced woman when I was Mormon. I left that religion. We divorced after that. So now I am a divorced person. I could stay single if that's what God wants. I've surrendered all my will and only care for God's will.
The woman you married was already divorced so unless her first husband was dead your marriage to her was never lawful so yes you can repent of that situation and marry again as she was never your wife to begin with.
Thank you Jesus for He turned you away from the Mormon church. That's your true victory right there in our Lord Jesus. I can't imagine the punishment for those following Joseph Smith and his false doctrine of demons. Jesus is the Son of God given to us as our sacrifice and Salvation bless you Lord Jesus. I have a close friend who is Mormon and their teachings are absolutely blasphemous i will continue to pray for the Mormons though
@@selenayearwood4611 Actually, she was his wife as he married her. That's what married means. Jesus pointed this out with the woman at the well. He said that she had five husbands....He didn't say one husband and four other guys. So yes, Bryan was married to her.
Then why you on this page looking for answers lol
Well done. My wife and I were together 32 years, 3 children. I had a reason to divorce, about our 3rd year. I caught her red handed with another man in our home, clothing coming off. No argument what was going to happen, plain as the nose on your face. We, with the help of God, worked through it, and all the problems common to a marriage. She passed away a year ago. I do not see another woman in my life. Till death do us part, I'm only half way there, my other half is with the Lord. When I die, I will be as she is. for in Heaven they neither marry or are given in marriage. When I die our marriage ends. She was the best gift God ever gave me
Your marriage ended when she died. Do not deceive yourself
That was beautiful but I’m sure she wouldn’t want you to be lonely?
Wonderful testimony of forgiveness.
If God wants you to remarry, she (virgin/neverbeenmarried) will be a gift for your life.
Hallelujah
I actually had a church tell me I should leave my current husband and go back to the husband that had given me 11 broken bones and shot me twice. How on earth do these churches get it so twisted??? I'm pretty sure that my divorce was warranted. Shalom!!
actually it's okay to divorce and remarry again,because your previous husband is considered dead
because if someone lives in sin he is dead
this is not my interpretation it's the interpretation of early fathers of the church
Mathew 19:10 will answer that it was better if u ddnt get married marriage is for life
Unless he cheated
Gayle Christensen, I'm glad you didn't believe such idiots.
Glad you got away. God Bless you. All things are possible through Christ.
Jesus said whosever looks upon a woman with lust in his heart has already committed adultery.
@@DonutDumpster It actually does as in those who believe that under no circumstances can a divorcee remarry (when the Bible points out two possibilities when a marriage covenant is broken) state that a person is in a perpetual adultery, when nowhere in the Bible is this stated. Don is pointing out that even those who accuse others of committing adultery are likely committing it themselves.
Sorry, but your comment has nothing to do with this video!
Actually the text says That whosoever looketh on a γυνή to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
γυνή is translated woman 129 times and wife 92 times. Translating
γυνή as woman in Mat 5:28 is not accurate, since it is referring
to a specific type of woman i.e. a a married one i.e. wife.
Looking at someone else wife and lusting is committing adultery
because the law says thou shalt not covet, so lusting after
someone else wife is coveting her. That is what Jesus is teaching.
Well, I listened to your answer to the question and frankly, there are lots of contradictions in your answers. I will just mention one, you said that the divorced man is free to marry a virgin, but its clearly written in 1st Corinth 7:10-11, a divorced spouse should remain unmarried or be reconciled. How can they be reconciled if the man can remarry a virgin? That's only possible if the wife be dead.
Secondly, Apostle Paul never gave a permission to remarry in case of abandonment as you said in verse 14 of the same book. If that were the case, he he would not have said in verse 39 that the woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives, but if she dies, she is free to marry whosoever she wishes only in the Lord.
If indeed, Apostle Paul gave another reason for remarriage, he would be contradicting Jesus Christ in Matt. 5:32.
May the Spirit of God give us correct insight into the true meaning of his word.
Correct, and how often they can remarry? He is wrong, when the bible said virgin, it’s never been married nor had sexual relationship. Once the other party commits adultery then they are free to remarry.
Not until the Demise of the first spouse....
The Lord command (1 Cor 7 : 11) only to all married women, said : If a wife is divorce let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband.
Its not to married men.
Jesus said to all married men (Matthew 5 : 32, 19 : 9)
.......except for sex immorality (wife commited sex to another man) her husband can divorce her bcz she has been defiled. And as a man, he allows to remarry but marry a virgin (neverbeenmarried)
A husband can remarry after he divorced his unfaithful wife.
A wife can remarry after her unfaithful/abusive husband died
Has your divorced wife remained chaste waiting for your return? If so be reconciled. If not she has committed adultery and you are free to remarry. Remember this was written in an age when adulterers were stoned to death so women would remain waiting for a. Husband to return. Now hardly anybody does so we’re in an adulterous situation most of the time.
I don’t think most people are clear on this subject. To be sarcastic is not the answer.
His sarcasm is the reason I can’t listen to him. I like sarcasm, but there’s a time for it and this ain’t it.
Thank you. I am glad I was lead here to you.

I have not been Divorced but I like his thoroughness on answering questions biblically. I am now a subscriber! Keep up the good work.
All I see in the comments is a bunch of confused people, having a partner is not the most important thing in life I pray everyone of you find peace in Jesus amen
Yikes! Really? Having a partner ( meaning a wife or husband ) is not so important to you??? Really creepy wording that only a loner would say!
What I’m hearing is that if you are too weak to control your lustful desires, that it’s better to follow Moses and Paul rather than do God’s will?
Is marriage only about the sex??
Whatever happened to bringing your weakness to God and asking Him for help?
Ask yourself, are you truly repentant?
Of course it is not easy and we will stumble.
God’s design is holy. He loves us and I’m sure it grieves him to see us suffer. But he is not the author of our suffering - we are, by not living according to His will.
So, yes, there are provisions and thankfully the greatest one is Jesus Christ!
Think and bring all your concerns to Jesus before acting and wait for Him to speak to your heart. You will have shalom.
Beautiful
Solomon fell
David fell

Do being godly wise or strong won't save you, thats why God said it is not good that a man should be alone.
God didnt make guys to be single
@@christopherperkins2395u
Adultery is not the unforgivable sin. Christ' blood erases sin upon repentance.
Repentance is to turn away not continue
@@somethinginteresting8151Repentance is to have a change of mind.
Yes but it better be repented of and not going back repeating it
Michael you are truly something. Thank you for your work with your channel. You are an excellent bible scholar, grounded in the Word, but you manage so well to bridge the Word to the human flesh. And in a very clear way. I'm so grateful, and truly humbled. Thank you.
people get so legalistic about this subject yet say sin is sin is sin on everything else...
I’m in this , my husband divorced me Falsely, after giving me instructions to follow , which I did to the letter T
Well he never came home n I raised 5 babies ( they kept me busy ) so I had no interest in another man
It’s now 31 years , I still love this man because I know God picked him
We still have feelings but his guilt keeps him away
I know this man since 9 years old married at 20
I’m faithful to Gods words , and I’d remarry him today
But he remarried and is all tied up
I pray for my husband , but I know I’ll be alone til the Good lord call me home
Sending big hugs to you. God will bless you.
Yes I also am divorced l had being living by myself with my two children but now that they are gone and my husband is in a adulterers relationship
I do not want to return to my marriage therefore l choose to live alone until the day Jesus comes for me and brings me home.
Almost fourteen years have passed yet l have grown stronger in God's Word Jesus Christ and for that l am so very grateful
Shalom Shalom
Very sad 😥
He is living in fornication and adultery that marriage is invalid
Good answer sir. Very thorough explanation and according to the scriptures. May God continue to bless your ministry
Thank you sir for this video! It reinforces what I already thought was the correct belief in my heart. After a failed 19 year marriage that I ended after being betrayed I have chosen to give the rest of my days to finish raising my children (full time) and to giving glory to God and obeying his laws. I really don’t need another wife. My mother (RIP) told me long ago God would rather have you pray to him and do his will 24/7 but if not you should get married. At 52 that’s just what I want to focus on. Thank you again and God Bless. 🙏
Very loving answer for many who worry, that should not, in the Lord.
For what two people that God has put together let no man put asunder. The problem with the majority of marriages God never put them together.
If the unbelieving depart let them depart... you are not under any bondage
Divorce is not the unpardonable sin !! all you have to do is repent of your part of the marriage , God will forgive you move on,, Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
I always wanted to be married just never was blessed with a faithful woman yet I am 47 years old and it seems like here where I live there just aren't any faithful woman are God just don't want me to get married
Looking in the wrong places
Maybe you should look elsewhere. Travel and discover other cultures.
I was engaged to a man divorced twice... I loved him...but never totally trusted him... I had to let go and let God, so I truly understand what youre saying
My husband left after 20 years of marriage and 3 children. He left for his mistress. I had two children still at home. I cried and begged him not to leave us. He left. I am remarried. I married a man who is divorced from his first wife. It was an agreeable divorce between them. They were both born again. He later remarried and that wife died after 12 years of marriage. He and I have been married 7 years. We are now getting ready to part ways. We have been told we are not married in God's eyes and we will go to hell. We are divorcing. Not only because of this but I have never felt free from the first. I have never enjoyed this marriage only because I wonder if I'm commiting adultery. It's miserable to always wonder but it's very sad. I love this man and I am older now I'm my sixties. I don't like the thought of being alone as I age. I want to please God and do the right thing. My heart hurts though 💔
Hello, you might find this book helpful. nogreaterjoy.org/shop/the-bible-on-divorce-and-remarriage
@@thedoormichaelpearl Thank you.
ohh c'mon don't commit the sin of divorce. If he was having mistress he's committing adultery. If he sinned you are not guilty, you can remarry.
I broke free from a cult I was stuck because if I left I was going to hell . I pray you hear personally from the lord what to do .
THIS is a demonstration of religion doing harm. Call it PTSD or whatever, but religion is the root cause of so much unjustified, made up, self inflicted pain and anguish.
Mike has a lot of good advice, but when he gets into 1 Cor. 7 in this video, he falls short. In verse 10-11 God clearly says a departed wife is to remain unmarried to leave the door open for reconciliation. Verse 39 clearly says a wife is free to remarry ONLY once her husband is dead. This teaching is in tune with the rest of the New Covenant, and there is nothing contradicting this. While it's not so strongly expressed toward men, the same teaching is 100% true for men. Divorce happens, but no where is that grounds for remarriage, except under Moses and stiff necked people. To allow an exception for remarriage, brings about many divorces. Statistics show that couples that stick it out through tough times will likely have a good marriage some day. The only way to face marriage is 'Till death do we part.'
Mike must believe that the act of divorcing and remarriage for reasons other than porneia constitutes an act of adultery as opposed to a continual state of adultery. If it's an act, his interpretation of 1 Corinthians 7 makes sense. If it's a continual state, it can't; otherwise, there is a different kind of repentance needed here.
Eat the meat throw away the bone if you got knowledge from him or not he is doing his job by answering questions for ppl that having these issues through the grace of God.... good job brother pearl
So, I was married twice. I was a Christian and we never had sex before marriage. Both wives also claimed they were Christians. My first marriage was the first time for both of us. We had 2 sons and after about 6 years of marriage she became mentally ill and was diagnosed, Delusional, Paranoid and Schizophrenic. It wasn't her fault, it was in he genetics. She filed for divorce and despite her mental illness, the courts still gave her custody of the boys because she was a woman and gave her half of my assets, which included my family farm. My second marriage was the second time for both of us and she had 2 sons from 2 different fathers and she also claimed to be Christian. After 30 years of marriage, she filed for divorce after I had retired and she wanted my pension. The judge gave here all of my cash and 2/3's of my retirement savings. Close to $400,000 worth. Needless to say, with the Family court system strongly in favor of the female and all that is required to get divorced now a days is to say there are irreconcilable differences, it's no surprise that over 80% of divorces today are filed by women. It's also no surprise that the number of marriages in 2018 was the lowest since they started tracking marriages in the 1800's. As a result of what's happening now, something called MGTOW or Men Going Their Own Way is the new normal. Paul say's it's better to marry than to burn, but I say it is better to stay single then get burned by Family Court. Most of this mess is on the back of Feminists.
Good ridenece to bad rubbish
God has given us freewill
Marriage is a risk knowing the fallibility of human nature
Paul recommends the single life
But we all still have sexual desires and God gave us sex to enjoy in marriage.
Obviously some are able to stay single there are more
Things in life than passion
It's a desire but can be contained with self control
Women don't make the best
Of friends
Jesus if far better to be married to!
not everyone is given the gift of singleness and also to avoid fornication
What happen to forgiveness of sins?
What happened to repentance and turning from sin?
No, marrying a divorced person is not committing adultery. No man-made contract should force anyone to suffer in an abusive, or unhappy relationship until they die. Imo
Thank God for divorce. My ex-husband is now remarried with my blessing, and I feel blessed not to be in a terrible and irreconcilable marriage with him anymore. 🙏🏻
You say thank God for divorce but it was Moses who clearly came up with divorce and Jesus said from the beginning it wasnt so🤔
Umm...your ex husband doesn't need your blessing....
So many things wrong in your comment here.
Don't conflate divorce with remarriage. Don't stay in an abusive marriage but stay single.
@@katrinaflores2012most definitely!
But if they are 'burning', then get married. The burning, trumps all other situations.@@Tatiana-cp1fc
It is by far better to remain married than to divorce, but something that profoundly puzzles me is why the Church redacted Deuteronomy 24 in order to make it fit with their law that divorce was not legal for Christians. Verse 2 of that chapter says "2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife." If there was anything left of the marriage and anything left of the love he once had, then verse 2 is a deal-breaker for divorce, because no man would walk away and let another man have his wife if he still cared for her. Yet the Church says she can't marry another man, which is removing a lot more than a 'jot or tittle' from The Law that Jesus said He would not allow.
Excellent teaching on the subject. I certainly do not advocate divorce and remarriage, but some people beat others over the head with their own convictions about such things. It puts people in bondage. I believe this is true especially when one spouse commits adultery or leave them and the spouse has no desire to reconcile. It puts the innocent party on the bondage and not liberty. Very good and balanced teaching.
My personal openion is this subject is kinda hard to deal with so every one after you read seek the wisdom of God on what to do from here on out and go as the holyspirit lead you everyone grace is not the same so do as the holyspirit lead. Some people had a hard time in marriage and they came out of it but thjer hearts are not cold towards marriege so there for they desire to be remarried and this is where youll need God to help you make a decision to whether or not you should be involved again.
U answered questions I had for years. No one could give me a clear answer until today. Now I understand.. I pray the Lord bless you and your family abundantly for this amazing work you are doing .. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
No, it is not better to live with someone outside of marriage. That would be fornication.
Or Adultery if divorced....
@@earnestlycontendingforthef5332 that's why I'm 54 . I was married for 17 years. Completely caught off guard and shocked when my wife filed for divorce. God blessed me with the body of a middleweight prize fighter. Again I'm 54. I attract women in their mid thirties. None of them ever married. So I'm definitely going to get married again. Next time they'll be a prenup though 😉
@@earnestlycontendingforthef5332 oh yeah it was her third marriage .my first.
Boy I was blind. So God never recognized that marriage anyway ✌️
@@denniscosban6145 only if your first wife dies are you free to remarry.
@@denniscosban6145 Yes, He did. Jesus pointed this out with the woman at the well. Jesus said that she had 5 husbands, illustrating that he recognized those as marriages.
What about abandonment? Is a man to live the rest of his life alone if his wife leaves him and doesn't want him back?
No. Read 1 Corinthians 7. Paul says if they leave, you are no longer under bondage.
Most of the times divorce is mentioned in the bible it's really sending away. Like our separation today. Just as today you can't marry or be sexual with someone else if you are legally separated. You must be divorced and you will have a divorce decree. That's terminates the marriage.
In those days many men just sent their wives away so they didn't have to justify an official divorce with proper grounds. Without the decree that would terminate the marriage and allow the woman to marry someone else.
Any woman sent away by her husband was condemned to commit aduletry as they couldn't survive on their own. Which is why God COMMANDED they give a certificate of divorce so she could remarry.
1Corinthians Chapter 7.
Yes
1 corinthians 7:15.
You are not bound to an unbelieving woman whom is fixed on leaving you.
I would probably say that abandonment is a sign of disbelief in and of itself.
@@stormrising2623
Its not God command to give a certificate of divorce
And certificate of divorce is not to allow a wife to remarry another man but it is be given to her to tell that she has did something unclean and other man is not allowed to marry her. Maybe one day her husband take her back became his wife.
If other man marries her, she will be defiled and her first husband is forbiden to take her back (compare to Deutr 24 : 4)
Such a perfect understanding. Thank you sir.
My ex husband, the father of my children, was doing terrible things and ended up being dangerous to be around (especially with the kids) I filed for divorce and he eventually went to rehab and got right with the Lord. He wanted back together but I couldn't let go of the past. He is now remarried. Wanting to get remarried myself, but don't want to dishonor the Lord... Am I to raise my children by myself? Am I permitted to remarry? Listening to this video, I heard it's an abomination to return to my ex husband now that he is remarried. I don't know what to do.
Except the other half dies, it is adultery.
Then why did jesus say then you were free to marry another if your husband or wife commits adulterySexual fornication
I divorced my wife for adultery and have never married. A church I went to, the Pastor and two Elders asked me for a meeting and asked why I have never married. I told them it wasn't any of their business for one and then turned to Matthew and read to them what Jesus told us, closed my Bible, got up and left. Nothing was ever said again sense then. Yes I've been single for 27 years and have never touched another woman!
Hey bro in JESUS !!! man to another man....women are hazardous to our patience & morale we can't live up to their utopian illusion arquetype structure of what they fantasize of that their married life be like.
They have a hard time being real(not just spouses but all relationship we're born into) Happened to people with their parents & their kids,we couldn't be the son/daughter of their dreams ....will happen to our wives we won't be the husband of their dreams.
That's good but you didn't have to stay single; she committed adultery, which dissolved your marriage.
Brother I respect your decision to stay unmarried but I would agree with people that would say you could remarry. Ultimately a situation as your is upto the individual if they are ok with having no sexual partner and living alone. Living alone does not imply not sharing accommodations with another individual as long as sexual intimacy does not come part of the arrangement.
Amen you did the right thing according to scripture
You should be able to forgive, what’s cheating? You have ego
I find myself watching these videos and weeping over the bad doctrine taught in the christian assemblies... My prayer is that the Messiah come back and straight us all out, because as sincere as we are the vast majority are sincerely wrong.
Very contradictory explanation.
This dude is not a prophet
You just got a new subscriber :) blessings 🙏
Blind leading the blind .
Nice message but it doesn't fully line up with scriptures. Jesus made it simple we can not divorce if we do we can't remarry. Paul said not to depart from your wife or husband. The only reason one can really remarry is if your partner dies. Any other thinkering on this really is not supported by the scriptures.
My husband committed ADULTERY OVER 20 times in 10 years. My first husband is dead. I see no reason I should be alone in my old age. My only mistake was not being able to LEGALLY DIVORCE him in Kansas, my attorney said I had to prove he was committing Adultery with photos, but he was living with his Mistress for 6 plus months before we divorced. He married her for her money. He tried to kill me, and she died 5 years after. He is on his 5 th wife.
I am sorry to hear that😭😭😭😭
Did you remarry right?
Ronda Kelly- your x sounds just like my first husband. But I was also a battered wife. He would stay gone for sometimes 3 days, leaving me and our baby home alone with no phone, car or money. When he got home, all I had to do was ask where he'd been for 3 days, and drunk, ( as usual) would start beating on me as if I was the one doing wrong. Come to find out, he was having an affair with someone who used to be a friend of mine, that he told me he hated. This affair started while I was pregnant and by the time our daughter was 2, I left. He kept asking if I was getting the divorce. So I started the proceedings. He married her the day after the divorce was final.
2 weeks later, she calls me, screaming and begging me to come and get her because he was chasing her down the road with his shotgun. ( prob the same one he beat me with the butt end of). I told her " you wanted him, you got him, hes not my problem anymore, hes yours". And I hung up. That was in 1982. Never heard from her again.
I wasnt saved back then, I had a couple of boyfriends I lived with between 1984 and 1997. One was abusive, after almost 6 yrs with him, I left. Then later, 1998, started dating someone that was from my 4th grade class in elementary school. We got married in June of 1999.
He passed on his 54th bday in 2013.
After he passed, I gave my life to the Lord. I had been feeling him tugging at my heart for years, then I gave in.
(I took a vow of abstinence after my husband passed, until I re marry. But If I don't, I'm ok with that too.)
Then Aug, 2020, my first husband passed, just before he was supposed to get married again, for what I believe would have been the 7th time.
So.... Now, I am a true widow. And am free to remarry.
I will keep you in my prayers for answers for you too. God Bless!

Wow

Where does it say he has not comitted adultry "WHEN HE REMARRES ?"
I see where devorce is allowed BUT I don't see REMARIGE allowed till death ?
Let us speek when the Bible speeks and let us BE SILENT when the Bible is silent.
Hello!
You might be interested in reading Michael's book "The Bible on Divorce and Remarriage", in it he studies every verse in the Bible on this subject in the old and new testament. nogreaterjoy.org/shop/the-bible-on-divorce-and-remarriage
I see your point....
However, as this video argued, there have been concessions due to the hardness of man's hearts and a knowledge of a man's sexual drive.
Does a divorced man/woman whom divorced without valid grounds (adultery/sexual immorality), commit adultery? Yes.
Does that mean that every time they sleep together in their new marriage that they commit adultery? No.
The concession is that it's better for a (divorced) man/women to marry then for them to burn with passion and be tempted into greater sin. It's better to get married again, commiting a single act of adultery, then to watch porn and spiritually fornicate daily or go to a brothel and have sex with prostitutes and fornicate over and over again.
We have seen many times, with David as an example, that a woman can become another man's wife, while her first husband still lives. A good example of this is Saul's daughter Michal. She was married to another man, and God allowed David to take her from her husband to marry her (because she was promised to him to begin with). The husband didn't need to die.. He didn't even need a bill of divorce.
Then we also have the example we have is in 2 Samuel 18-20. Absalom sleeps with David's concubines. When David defeats Absalom whom dies, the concubines are left as widows and David does not remarry them. This again proves that a woman can marry another without the first husband dying.
This does kind of seem to be a one way street. A woman cant have more than one concurrent husband, but a man (if permitted by the Lord) can have more than one concurrent wife.
So what about the part in Matthew where he says if your Commits adultery you are free to marry another but they are not
Matthew 19:9 "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” If you divorce your wife and marry another you have committed adultery, except if you divorce your wife for sexual immorality.
2 things are very clear from the comments:
1. People don't read the bible
2. Lots of adulterers on here
a bunch of people playing God also
I agree. People make judgement claiming to be christ like but the Bible tells us not to.judge unless we profess to be born again. To hold one another accountable but key board warriors what you gonna do
Thanks so much for the spiritual clarification of my dilema, now I know what path to take not to offending the Lord, amen !
I don't get headaches often, but one day I had one. I told my husband, not as an excuse, but to let him know how I was feeling. He massaged my head and love went from there. After that, my headache was gone!
Amazing study...
I have studied much on this subject. In summary, it seems clearly from scripture, as long as your spouse (ex) is still living, you are not to remarry. May we always be a people of forgiveness and reconciliation.
In scripture God's word allows a saved man to remarry but not a saved female
forgiveness fine but not reconciliation; thats stupid and dangerous in abusive situations.
@@christopherperkins2395 better concepts are from god, the teachings came from Paul who was following the law of marriage from mosses which wasint from god to begin with
True... So much so that the disciples even told christ if it be so, it is better not to marry
I'm truly confused!

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.
1 Corinthians 7:27-28
New International Version
27 Are you pledged to a woman? Do not seek to be released. Are you free from such a commitment? Do not look for a wife. 28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned;
For real, what have you studied to be so dogmatic. There are circumstances that make one free from the commitment of marriage. One, adultery, and 2, if unbelieving spouse leaves.
All I have to write about this is the following:
Thank God I'm not a Roman Catholic.
What about Hosea? I guess Gomer hadn't remarried.
Can a wife divorce her husband if he committed adultery ?
Best teaching on divorce and remarriage I've ever heard.
Why was John the Baptist beheaded? Why was it unlawful for Herod to have his brother Philip’s wife, Herodias? Do you think John just didn’t know the all the qualifying details or could it be that remarriage, except when the spouse dies, is adultery, plain and simple?
why did Jesus make a distinction between fornication and adultery in the same sentence? your teaching on this is not correct. fornication is premarital,..think about mary and joseph...joseph was going to put mary away...but, they werent married were they?
I was married at 21, but we divorced later. As I have gotten older I prayed and decided I would not marry again unless he died. He passed away last year and now I’m over here like 👀. I was prepared to never marry again. Now, I can marry but I’m so used to not dating I still may never marry. 🤦🏼♀️
I have no knowledge on marriage. God does though, I'd say just pray on it and talk with him about it. I'll pray for ya my sister in Christ. Be careful and God bless you.
God will have someone I his time
Yes after a while you get used to being alone. My ex is still alive and I do sometimes get lonely. But I follow the word and not the herd
Isaiah 54:5
For your Maker is your husband, The LORD of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth. 🕊️
what a beautiful testimony of faith (Mike, you too!)

May God give you strength if your previous spouse is deceased you are now free to re marry biblically speaking
@The Door where do you get the idea that the church is the bride of Christ? It specifically says in Revelation that the bride is New Jerusalem:
“And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,” (Rev 21:9)
Except FORNICATION is an unmarried sin ( so it was only during betrothal) not actual marriage
Also if you go on to keep reading when God divorced Israel it then says “NOW RETURN TO ME FOR I AM YOUR HUSBAND”
You can’t end a covenant except by death
Remarriage IS ADULTERY
1 Cor. 5 KJV, calls sex with another man's "WIFE" his "WIFE"... fornication.
It's a generic term which includes sex with a married woman.
I have a friend in which his wife has not slept with him for 5 years. So in this case, she has completely broken the marriage vow. She is also very disrespectful, dishonorable and contentious to him on a regular basis.
This is something that is very common in our feminist culture. And the church just does not speak on it which is very disappointing.
What recourse do these men have? Because there are a multitude of them. I was also stuck in such a marriage until I did the sensible thing.
Yes if someone is divorced and they decide to marry someone else that is adultery. My dad committed adultery when he married my mom when he used to be married to another woman. So yes it is adultery for someone to marry another person who is divorced before a divorcee to marry someone else. But Praise Jesus because they're his grace we have been made righteous through Jesus Christ not through our own works
Mr Michael..plz do advice me ....I was a born and raised in a non-catholic but my surroundings were all catholic...I got married to catholic girl in court in 2006 the marriage didn't work out and we have a baby girl ...we got divorced in 2013. I was wrong with my behavior , but later I apologized to her all my mistake and asked for forgiveness but she didn't and she got married again saying our marriage in court is not holy ....I than asked her what about our baby is she not holy than ...she had no reply for that question....plz do tell me is my baby holy or not ....I have not taken up second marriage just because of my daughter....the reason was to keep my marriage holy and my daughter too.....have lots to write...I know you can help me out...have some dreams to tell you...I need some to interpret me this .....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳
people may not like it, but it is truth. Solid unwavering bare bones truth.
I can say this...... God is lovely and he knows our intentions and hearts. We all want to be loved and obey God, I look at the story of king david and wonder " he committed murder and adultery " if he repented and choose to stay faithful to bathsheba, God blessed him later on with more children. Then he can forgive us and see we all have good intentions to love the next person we marry. GOD NEVER ASK TO BREAK UP FAMILIES OR GO BACK TO EXS. if u lied stop lying, if u killed stop killing, I think if u committing adultery don't do it again. I pray we get closer to God because what he thinks matters the most. All humans are wicked but we can change. I think the bible tells us that.
Good explanation. Thank you
Noooo!!! You've added to Scripture! Yes Paul said to let an unbeliever leave the marriage bond/contract if they so wish. Absolutely. However he absolutely did NOT go on to permit remarriage. If I'm wrong olease shate the Scripture that shows this!!! This video is good in parts but very confused in others. You use the word fornication and adultery interchangably yet they are DIFFERENT words with different meanings hence both appear in the same sentence. You need to study the Jewish betrothal laws hence why this so called exception is only found in Matthew (written to the Jews). Hence why Joseph was going to "divorce" Mary for fornication. This video is VERY misleading
No one can control their flesh completely as you said. But it was an informative video. Thanks
Allowing divorce in the case of adultery seems like a loophole. What's to stop someone who's married to either have an affair or convince their spouse to have an affair, there by giving them license to divorce that person.
Well, the Pharisees who asked the questions concerning marriage believed they could divorce their wives for any cause including seeing someone prettier. They didn’t realize their practice of divorce for any cause made them just as guilty as the woman they caught in the act of adultery. Divorcement for any cause rendered marriage pointless and just gave them legal grounds to switch out sex partners anytime they wanted. Honestly, I think what Jesus was doing in those verses was to restore the idea of marriage being a lifetime ideal which even most nonbelievers have today. I think most people intend on marriage being for life the Pharisees did not.
Thank you so much.
what happens if i committed fornication? before i got married and/or engaged?
God is willing to forgive and cleanse us from all sin
Problems with definitions? Adultery is ONLY for the Married 😐
Fornication is for everyone else
“Replacement Theology” is a lie (in response to his statement at 1:35). If you believe God has replaced His covenants with Israel with covenants with the Christian Church, you are calling God a liar. God doesn’t lie, He is unchangeable. All of His covenants stand, both with Israel, and with His Christian Bride. He is working out His plan with Israel to bring them to salvation. Revelations deals with the Jewish people in a final act to bring them to salvation.
The Bible says what God join together let no man put asunder till death do us part if a man put away his wife and marry another he or she committee adultery A man should have one living wife Thou shall not committee adultery Fear God and keep his commandments Amen in Jesus name
Husband love your wife. Wife's. Submitte to your own husband amen
Amen
You are missing some scripture there. I learned a long time ago not to cherry pick the Bible. Read all the scripture on this subject to gain a clearer understanding.
Glad to hear someone talking the truth these days, and not trying to pull the wool over my eyes, or make me so bored that I leave the room to read in bed. Check out the person you thought you'd be leaving for the one you or infatuated with and who you thought you loved or who you were wrongly asked to protect. Think of the whole family. The kids grow up and leave. You hardly ever see them. You wonder how much money they want from you, and how are they going to scheme you out of it this time? Those millennials always wonder and want what you can do for them. People the same age have very much more in common, and much more fun. I'm remembering that one slow dance I had with my last husband. I thought we were still together, and he was taken away. I have always wished I can be with him together forever, just not as we were. That was, abused by other people, not by ourselves and each other. Example of a bad relationship; Remember those clothes in the garage that had motor oil all over them? That person threw those out and you, someone told me. Even more, they wanted to hurt someone so bad that they squatted and put their menses on the living room floor where the other person was forced to sleep for fear something was going to happen to them in the bed. Someone put something in their drink, and they were so deep in a sleep that they missed two or three days. We love the one we said we loved. We won't run away from a hard situation, or a hard life seemingly, for anyone else but on their word. This is not hate mail, pornographic mail, or any of the sort. It is something that someone horrible did to another person. "Now they are trying to come back to you?" I asked the other person. There must be something deep that we have for those ones who were there, fighting like a push me pull you. I love you as you are, no matter what, and I will always be there for you." I told them. Love you Minister.
Thank you
I think that I are very confusing about this kinda topic right ? :)
Are the "unmarried" previously married but not widowed? Because later in that section of Scripture Paul mentions "virgins".
What about Hosea?
If you have already remarried and then learn of this do you then have to divorce again...I'm asking honestly because I'm in that situation and I haven't seen anywhere in scripture that says one must depart from a remarriage....I'm really confused ..
It means it was never meant to be done in the first place, but since it has Go to God in prayer and fast for guidance from the Holy Spirit
Confusing, so it’s ok to re-marry under all circumstances if you struggle with lust or fornication?
Really want to learn properly so that I can inform others of what’s right. Thankfully, I’m happily married 10+ years. But I come from a broken home too.
No remarry until the 1st husband dies
Read Gods word for yourself, for man will lead you astray.
I came to the same conclusion as you. I'm never the smartest person in the room but this time it looks like both of us are. The scripture is pretty clear, if you can't control your sex drive then remarry. That trumps everything.
I'm not twisting the scriptures to fit my circumstances either. In my mid 50s, never did marry, and have zero children out there. As a male who is unmarried, not bad looking(but not great looking), no debt and celibate I get asked a lot of questions by people who can't fathom why I am not married. Most of the time I was ashamed at being single and hated talking about it. But for the last 15 years I find it to be a great topic to share who Christ is.
matthew 5.21 is a passage ppl use to remarry .but
Jesus died for all our sins. All sins. Not just a handful. Or certain ones. Sins are Sins.
Yes, only death of one of the covenant spouses allows someone to date someone new or marry someone new. If the first spouse is still alive and they marry, they both become adulterers and will not inherit the Kingdom. The exception clause is twisted today. JESUS came to magnify and clarify the law and didn't do away with it until heaven and earth pass away. He was asked in Matthew 19 if divorce was allowed for any reason and he said no. They were shocked and said it would be better if nobody married.. read the entire chapter of Matthew 19. The only exception is like how Mary and Joseph were betrothed before their ancient jewish marriage was complete. He used the word for single people in sexual immorality instead of adultery. I'm sure God is the same situation.. He was betrothed. But if you look at the angel talking to Joseph about not putting away Mary, he refers to her as his wife before they were intimate. Death is the only allowance. God told me to leave my 9 yr relationship with a divorced man. The only way to repent is to turn away as well. See Luke 16:18, Romans 7 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.
@@someoneofgods2620 This isn't correct. God can forgive ALL sins. Jesus clearly stated that there was only one sin He would not forgive, and that was blaspheming against the Holy Spirit. Jesus also said that divorce is a sin, along with adultery, murder, trusting money over Him, etc. He forgives all of those things, bar none. I am a divorced and remarried woman who struggled with the guilt of this sin for YEARS. But this past year, I became baptized and gave my life to Him, and the Holy Spirit has changed my life drastically. He tells me I am forgiven. He clearly states in the Bible to have faith in His sacrifice, and I've repented and put it all at His feet. To say that I or my husband can never enter the Kingdom of God because we are remarried suggests that Jesus can't cover this sin. His grace is enough! When we repent of our sins, He is faithful to forgive them. I also have three children by my current husband. Would Jesus have us separate our family so that I can go back to my previous husband? Not to mention break the new vows between my current husband and I? I think not. Jesus stated that what I did was sinful. But He said He forgives when we repent. Thank God for His grace!
@@someoneofgods2620 God bless you. It can be hard to be obedient to God, but you will be rewarded for your faithfulness.
Sin can lose you your salvation.
So if someone has committed a sin that is an abomination and has repented and does not commit that sin anymore are they saved?
There's only one unforgivable sin, that's to blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
But going back to your first husband or wife is not sinful like you said, the scriptures has clearly said, a divorced man or woman should remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband or wife so there you have messed a bit.
That reconciliation would be possible if that spouse who left is living celibate, willing to reconcile, but if that spouse who left is now remarried (committing ongoing adultery), then resuming the original marriage isn’t possible.
God don’t put every couple together so in that case God don’t bless the marriage and if they are abusive I’m sure God don’t want them to stay together
You are always free to separate and divorce and if and when your spouse takes another mate they commit adultery and then you are free to remarry. Be wary of the many Catholics commenting with their legalistic and false nonsense.
If a couple divorces. Neither one of them remarries. Yet the woman has sex with another man. It seems to me that the husband can never take her back. She has been defiled. Correct? I do not see how some couples remarry someone else. Then divorce those people and then get back together with the first spouse. The wife has been defiled by the other man she married. This is so confusing.
what happen to the Cross and the forgiveness of Christ thru His death.
What circumstances are you talking about?
Marriage is a covenant it is not a contract
So are you teaching that if a woman cheats on her husband and he divorces her, she is free to marry again? Also Paul says, to the unmarried and widows. He didn't include divorced individuals in this. And if it's an abomination to take your first spouse back after remarriage, then wouldn't it be an abomination to marry any divorced person?
Jesus wasn’t talking about fornication or adultery as grounds for a man to put away his wife because under Jewish law that wife would have be stoned to death. The original Greek word used in that verse was “Pornea” ... some other kind of sexual immorality which, some scholars believe, could include pre-marital sex (I.e the discovery that she wasn’t a virgin when they married) or something else other than adultery.
Replacement theology!!! False theology.
No it’s correct theology. Read the bible.
May I ask respectfully if you have a tierd unwell husband or wife and you choose to love them still and choose to take care of them without laying with them.
Because your main concern is them and you love them.
And you choose to stay
May I ask what the Bible would say about it
Thank you kindly
She shared 'all that' because she would like and deserves support. Have some compassion dude. That is what we are here for. Men ESPECIALLY ought to be over encouraging w kindness and comforting words to single women who are alone and abandoned.
You might know scripture but you do not have a heart of God.
