I live in the Houston Texas area and I can only find one church that believes in this. So many people are deceived. Thank God he revealed the truth to me and my family. I’m severing my legalized adulterous remarriage.
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.
Look how it muddies the water too. Believers even doubt marriage is for life. It’s really scary when so many can be so wrong. What else have we been wrong about?
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)
Totally agree. I have done many many hours of study and research on this subject ax it was personal to me. My three Elders disagree with me and accept and condone a couple who have unscripturally divorced and remarried and attend our fellowship. . If they dont come to the truth I will have to leave the fellowship.
I’ve studied this for several years now. It’s biblical to remain single and to believe remarriage is allowed is to believe God contradicts Himself in verses like Matthew 19:9 and Luke 16:18. They’ll twist not under bondage to mean we can remarry. I simply believe God knew this would be a hot topic and if remarriage were allowed He’d have specified it.
If you are divorced, like I am, please do not be deceived, as I once was, into believing that God permits a divorced person to remarry while they have a living covenant spouse. False teachers have been preaching a false doctrine for 500 years, claiming that your spouse’s adultery or abandonment breaks the one-flesh marriage covenant. The Word of God is clear that only death breaks the covenant. Jeremiah Chapter 3 reveals that, although God divorced Israel, she remains his wife and He will take her back when she repents of her adultery. God’s idea of divorce is to put away one’s spouse if they are unfaithful or abusive, but to remain alone and unattached, leaving room for reconciliation if they repent. Only death breaks the one-flesh marriage covenant, which is between two previously unmarried or widowed people. Any other marriage is considered unrepentant adultery in God’s eyes. Genesis 2:23-24 (KJV) 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Matthew 5:32 (KJV) 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Matthew 19:4-9 (KJV) 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. (Please note that there are over 20 characteristics which prove that the Book of Matthew was written to the Jews, who were still observing the Jewish betrothal (engagement) described in Deuteronomy 22:13-21, which was a one to seven year time of testing to see if the woman (who was referred to as “wife” during the betrothal) would remain faithful. A wedding contract (ketubah) would be signed at the beginning of the betrothal period, but there was no one-flesh permanent marriage covenant until the groom showed up to consummate the marriage. During consummation, the woman lay on a cloth, and the blood on the cloth from the breaking of the hymen was called her “tokens of virginity.” If she could not produce the tokens of virginity, she was put away and then stoned to death. In Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9, where the phrases “saving for the cause of fornication” and “except it be for fornication” are used as the only reason for putting away, this refers to what could be done only up to the wedding night, if the woman had been unfaithful during the betrothal. But, if the woman was able to produce the tokens of virginity, he could not put her away all his days. You do not see the phrases “saving for the cause of fornication” nor “except it be for fornication” in Mark and Luke, because Mark and Luke were written to the Gentiles, who did not observe the Jewish betrothal. Today, any previously unmarried, or widowed, man and woman who say wedding vows to each other and then consummate their vows are in a one-flesh covenant until one of them dies, even if they divorce-in which case, they are to remain unmarried or else be reconciled. Please note, also, that Jesus did away with stoning to death and also set the bar high for forgiveness when he forgave the adulterous woman in John 8:10-11, which says, “10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”) Mark 10:2-12 (KJV) 2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. Luke 16:18 (KJV) 18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. Romans 7:2-3 (KJV) 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 (KJV) 10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 1 Corinthians 7:39 (KJV) 39 The 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 6:9-10 (KJV) 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. As you can see, remarriage after divorce, while one still has a living covenant spouse is deemed unrepentant adultery in God’s eyes, and becomes a salvational issue. The only way to repent of this sin is to stop living in it, by going through legal channels to divorce the person whom God does not recognize as your covenant spouse, and to remain alone as long as your first spouse (covenant spouse) is still living.

Kind of like fasting and prayer, casting out devils, personal intimacy with Holy Spirit, ever growing deep conviction not just of sin but of separation from ALL worldliness in loyalty and honor of God, and then divorce remarriage adultery, many very crucial doctrines and operations that God desires for us that most church goers want NOTHING to do with and do not want to hear it, very sad and frustrating God have mercy on us
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 am interested in buying the book "Divorce & Remarriage: The Trojan Horse Within the Church"--so I went on Amazon and found two different versions of the book. I want to buy the better version. One is from Xulon Press (2008) and is 176 pages long. The other is from CreateSpace (2015) and is 130 pages long. What is the difference between these books? Is the longer book more thorough? Can you help me decide which version to purchase? Thank you!
@@christianprinciplesrestore3064 Thank you for the guidance--I will purchase the Xulon version. May God bless your ministry so that people are pulled from the flames.
I fear for those in unscriptural D & R and those who teach it. Many are on the broad path to destruction Jude 23 snatch them from the fire. It's likely the biggest problem in the church nowadays. The Lord showed me just after I got saved that my first husband was my lawful spouse not my second and I hadn't read any verses on this subject. Tell them anyway then it's between them and God.
Wow. That’s because when your it saved God Himself was teaching you all things through the Holy Spirit. Praise the Lord. So did you forsake your sin from the second husband?
It’s true according to scripture in the Epistles of Apostle Paul that Marriage is for life to a one time marriage. But also a true faithful widow will continue that oneness in I Timothy 5:9. The exception is if a widow is unable to maintain marriage to one husband or one wife then they are permitted to remarry only someone in the Lord. However such a remarriage is no longer oneness in Christ. It’s forever one husband and one wife even if it’s widowhood which honors God. Compare all scriptures.
i don't get it. all this evidence of proof that the early Church did not ascribe to marriage divorce and remarriage and these churches today are giving license to, then what kind of churches are most people going to? i am afraid for plenty christians that accepted this doctrine of Balaam from these wolves in sheep clothing pastors ,and the congregation that follow them . they leading these people straight in to the lake of fire if they all don't repent!!!!
"As it was in the days of Noah, they were marrying and given in marriage until the flood came." So shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man."
Very true. I'm outside Philadelphia on the east coast and almost NO churches teach this. I have several Christian friends that attend various churches in the area. Most teach and allow multiple reasons for divorce, and also teach remarriage is fine. Even the more conservative churches that dont teach or perform remarriages, don't confront the remarried people in the congregation or point out the sin thier in. Most also give 1 or 2 allowances for divorce including the fornication clause that we here know refers to Jewish betrothal and isnt valid at all. It's sad
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! ) 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)?
*Juleen Eyers “Remarriage while your original spouse is alive (if you were their original spouse) is adultery. Repentance requires STOPPING THE SIN and SINNING NO MORE - thus getting out of the adulterous remarriage. We would not say a homosexual marriage is okay if they continue to stay married, neither is an adulterous remarriage okay by staying in it.” This is how God feels about divorce: 'And this is the second thing you do: You cover the altar of the Lord with tears, With weeping and crying; So He does not regard the offering anymore, Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands. Yet you say, “For what reason?” Because the Lord has been witness Between you and the wife of your youth, With whom you have dealt treacherously; Yet she is your companion And your wife by covenant. But did He not make them one, Having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, And let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth. “For the Lord God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one’s garment with violence,” Says the Lord of hosts. “Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously.” You have wearied the Lord with your words; Yet you say, “In what way have we wearied Him? ” In that you say, “Everyone who does evil Is good in the sight of the Lord , And He delights in them,” Or, “Where is the God of justice?” ' Malachi 2:13-17 NKJV Only the book of Matthew contains the "except for fornication" permission to divorce, as only the book of Matthew was specifically written for the Jews and the Jewish culture understood that this "fornication" meant sexual unfaithfulness in the betrothal/engagement period (not after the marriage was consummated by sexual union between the husband and wife). An example of this is shown where Joseph wanted to DIVORCE the mother of Jesus, Mary, before they had consummated their marriage as it appeared that she had been unfaithful as she was pregnant prior to having sex with Joseph. "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together (sexually), she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS." - Matthew 1:18-25 KJV (Jesus speaking) "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication (the Greek word "porneia"), causeth her to commit adultery (the Greek word "moicheia") and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." - Matthew 5:31-32 KJV (Jesus speaking) "I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." - Matthew 19:9 KJV Note no fornication clause in the rest of the gospels, because it was specifically written to the gentiles which did not have the strict betrothal customs like the Jews: (Jesus speaking) "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 (Jesus speaking) "And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery." - Mark 10:11-12 KJV The ONLY permission for remarriage is the death of the original spouse: (Paul speaking) "For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man." - Romans 7:2-3 KJV Lastly, abandonment by a spouse does not allow remarriage to another. You must either reconcile or stay unmarried. (Paul speaking) "And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage (to perform the marital duties - this does not allow remarriage) in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" - 1 Corinthians 7:10-16 KJV John the Baptist took the divorce and remarriage adultery so serious, that he lost his head over it via decapitation by Herod: But when Herod heard, he said, “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!” For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her. Because John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” - Mark 6:16-18 NKJV Of all the laws in the Old Testament, Paul emphasized only four - and abstaining from sexual immorality (which is what remarriage is while your original spouse is alive) is one of them: (Paul speaking) "For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell." - Acts 15:28-29 NKJV Having children in an adulterous remarriage does not make it any less important to exit that adulterous remarriage as shown in Ezra 10 where they the people had to repent (stop being a part of) unlawful marriages, some of which resulted in offspring ("All these had taken pagan wives, and some of them had wives by whom they had children." Ezra 10:44 NKJV). Staying in an adulterous remarriage can take you to hell: (Paul speaking) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor ADULTERERS, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such WERE (note, they did not stay in their sinful acts as repentance requires STOPPING THE SIN) some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV
Staying in an adulterous remarriage can take you to hell. More like it will. So sad how not many believe God in those Scriptures but always say Gods okay with it because He wants me to be happy. Rubbish. God wants us to be holy.
About the rapture, I'm wondering they are few is taken away? Reed Isaiah 57:1 👇 No man layeth it to heart, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. Perhaps they are few, like Noah and Lot. Maybe because of this👇 Luke 18:8 Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Faith in him who is the Word. John.1:14 And the Rev.7:9,14 thells us a great multitude, which no man can number, are they which come out of great tribulation, -No man layeth it to heart, and none considering? -Great multitude, no man can number. 5 of 7 churches in the Book of Revelation received message of repentance. There is too much sin in the church today. Just to mention one sin; Adultery is very widespread in the church, Jesus says: If ye love me, keep my commandments. John.14:15,21,23,24, John.17:17, John.15:10, 1 John.5:3, 2 John.5:3, Rev.3:10,12, Luke 16:18, Mark.10:11-12, 1Cor.6:9-10, 7:10-11,39, Rom.7:2-3, + many other verses. We can not compromise. We have to repent👉Acts 3:19, 17:30. But God is mersy👉1 John.1:9, 1:7, 1 Pet.2:24. Eph.2:8, Rom.5:20 Do you think these thoughts and this question is biblical?
Abuse in Marriage people say there are gray areas what about abuse well the bible DOES talk about it! Why have we never seen this or our pastors talked about it? 1 Peter 2:18 Slaves, in reverent fear of God SUBMIT yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are HARSH. 19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the PAIN OF UNJUST SUFFERING because they are conscious of God. 20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. 21 TO THIS YOU WERE CALLED, BECAUSE CHIST SUFFERED FOR YOU, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. 22 “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”[e] 23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. 24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” 25 For “you were like sheep going astray,”[f] but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. 1 Peter 3 New International Version (NIV) 3 WIVES, IN THE SAME WAY submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. 7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. 1 Peter 4:Living for God 4 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. God said you can separate but MUST REMAIN SINGLE OF BE RECONCILED!!
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. "However, if you refrain from vowing, it would not be sin in you. "You shall be careful to perform what goes out from your lips, just as you have voluntarily vowed to the LORD your God, what you have promised. 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.

I live in the Houston Texas area and I can only find one church that believes in this. So many people are deceived. Thank God he revealed the truth to me and my family. I’m severing my legalized adulterous remarriage.
O live close to Houston and I know what you mean. Not many believe in the Word of God the way our Lord wants us to believe.
Which church in Houston?

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.
I wish this teaching had never gotten compromised or altered by annulments. What a headache all the lies have created. Thank God for truth !
Look how it muddies the water too. Believers even doubt marriage is for life. It’s really scary when so many can be so wrong. What else have we been wrong about?
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)
Totally agree. I have done many many hours of study and research on this subject ax it was personal to me. My three Elders disagree with me and accept and condone a couple who have unscripturally divorced and remarried and attend our fellowship. . If they dont come to the truth I will have to leave the fellowship.
I’ve studied this for several years now. It’s biblical to remain single and to believe remarriage is allowed is to believe God contradicts Himself in verses like Matthew 19:9 and Luke 16:18. They’ll twist not under bondage to mean we can remarry. I simply believe God knew this would be a hot topic and if remarriage were allowed He’d have specified it.
Pray for them Brother
awesome teaching. where can i find the excerpts that Pastor Stephen Wilcox quoted on the MarriageDivorce website?
You can find Stephen Wilcox's contact information on Christian Principles Restored International Inc. website, which is temporarily down. Thank you.
If you are divorced, like I am, please do not be deceived, as I once was, into believing that God permits a divorced person to remarry while they have a living covenant spouse. False teachers have been preaching a false doctrine for 500 years, claiming that your spouse’s adultery or abandonment breaks the one-flesh marriage covenant. The Word of God is clear that only death breaks the covenant. Jeremiah Chapter 3 reveals that, although God divorced Israel, she remains his wife and He will take her back when she repents of her adultery. God’s idea of divorce is to put away one’s spouse if they are unfaithful or abusive, but to remain alone and unattached, leaving room for reconciliation if they repent. Only death breaks the one-flesh marriage covenant, which is between two previously unmarried or widowed people. Any other marriage is considered unrepentant adultery in God’s eyes.
Genesis 2:23-24 (KJV)
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Matthew 5:32 (KJV)
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Matthew 19:4-9 (KJV)
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
(Please note that there are over 20 characteristics which prove that the Book of Matthew was written to the Jews, who were still observing the Jewish betrothal (engagement) described in Deuteronomy 22:13-21, which was a one to seven year time of testing to see if the woman (who was referred to as “wife” during the betrothal) would remain faithful. A wedding contract (ketubah) would be signed at the beginning of the betrothal period, but there was no one-flesh permanent marriage covenant until the groom showed up to consummate the marriage. During consummation, the woman lay on a cloth, and the blood on the cloth from the breaking of the hymen was called her “tokens of virginity.” If she could not produce the tokens of virginity, she was put away and then stoned to death. In Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9, where the phrases “saving for the cause of fornication” and “except it be for fornication” are used as the only reason for putting away, this refers to what could be done only up to the wedding night, if the woman had been unfaithful during the betrothal. But, if the woman was able to produce the tokens of virginity, he could not put her away all his days. You do not see the phrases “saving for the cause of fornication” nor “except it be for fornication” in Mark and Luke, because Mark and Luke were written to the Gentiles, who did not observe the Jewish betrothal. Today, any previously unmarried, or widowed, man and woman who say wedding vows to each other and then consummate their vows are in a one-flesh covenant until one of them dies, even if they divorce-in which case, they are to remain unmarried or else be reconciled. Please note, also, that Jesus did away with stoning to death and also set the bar high for forgiveness when he forgave the adulterous woman in John 8:10-11, which says, “10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”)
Mark 10:2-12 (KJV)
2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Luke 16:18 (KJV)
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Romans 7:2-3 (KJV)
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
1 Corinthians 7:10-11 (KJV)
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
1 Corinthians 7:39 (KJV)
39 The 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 6:9-10 (KJV)
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
As you can see, remarriage after divorce, while one still has a living covenant spouse is deemed unrepentant adultery in God’s eyes, and becomes a salvational issue. The only way to repent of this sin is to stop living in it, by going through legal channels to divorce the person whom God does not recognize as your covenant spouse, and to remain alone as long as your first spouse (covenant spouse) is still living.

Kind of like fasting and prayer, casting out devils, personal intimacy with Holy Spirit, ever growing deep conviction not just of sin but of separation from ALL worldliness in loyalty and honor of God, and then divorce remarriage adultery, many very crucial doctrines and operations that God desires for us that most church goers want NOTHING to do with and do not want to hear it, very sad and frustrating God have mercy on us
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 am interested in buying the book "Divorce & Remarriage: The Trojan Horse Within the Church"--so I went on Amazon and found two different versions of the book. I want to buy the better version. One is from Xulon Press (2008) and is 176 pages long. The other is from CreateSpace (2015) and is 130 pages long. What is the difference between these books? Is the longer book more thorough? Can you help me decide which version to purchase? Thank you!
Thank you for your inquiry. Xulon has the more complete version. You can purchase both books on Utube also.
@@christianprinciplesrestore3064 Thank you for the guidance--I will purchase the Xulon version. May God bless your ministry so that people are pulled from the flames.
The Xulon version is more complete. Our first book is: "Till Death Do Us Part?".is our most complete exposition on scripture, and proper exegesis.
@@christianprinciplesrestore3064 Thank You! I will purchase it as well!
The 2008 version. I do not know how Create Space is selling my book, but I will find out. Thank you!
I fear for those in unscriptural D & R and those who teach it. Many are on the broad path to destruction Jude 23 snatch them from the fire. It's likely the biggest problem in the church nowadays. The Lord showed me just after I got saved that my first husband was my lawful spouse not my second and I hadn't read any verses on this subject. Tell them anyway then it's between them and God.
Wow. That’s because when your it saved God Himself was teaching you all things through the Holy Spirit. Praise the Lord. So did you forsake your sin from the second husband?
I
@@nachis3 I had already got divorced from the second marriage before I got saved!
It’s true according to scripture in the Epistles of Apostle Paul that Marriage is for life to a one time marriage. But also a true faithful widow will continue that oneness in I Timothy 5:9. The exception is if a widow is unable to maintain marriage to one husband or one wife then they are permitted to remarry only someone in the Lord. However such a remarriage is no longer oneness in Christ. It’s forever one husband and one wife even if it’s widowhood which honors God. Compare all scriptures.
i don't get it. all this evidence of proof that the early Church did not ascribe to marriage divorce and remarriage and these churches today are giving license to, then what kind of churches are most people going to? i am afraid for plenty christians that accepted this doctrine of Balaam from these wolves in sheep clothing pastors ,and the congregation that follow them . they leading these people straight in to the lake of fire if they all don't repent!!!!
"As it was in the days of Noah, they were marrying and given in marriage until the flood came." So shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man."
Very true. I'm outside Philadelphia on the east coast and almost NO churches teach this. I have several Christian friends that attend various churches in the area. Most teach and allow multiple reasons for divorce, and also teach remarriage is fine. Even the more conservative churches that dont teach or perform remarriages, don't confront the remarried people in the congregation or point out the sin thier in. Most also give 1 or 2 allowances for divorce including the fornication clause that we here know refers to Jewish betrothal and isnt valid at all. It's sad
id like to know where is a cpr ministro in Texas or i can relocate as well.
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! )
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)?

Best action is to pray and ask God to guide you in this matter. We are in the famine of the word of God
*Juleen Eyers “Remarriage while your original spouse is alive (if you were their original spouse) is adultery. Repentance requires STOPPING THE SIN and SINNING NO MORE - thus getting out of the adulterous remarriage. We would not say a homosexual marriage is okay if they continue to stay married, neither is an adulterous remarriage okay by staying in it.”
This is how God feels about divorce:
'And this is the second thing you do: You cover the altar of the Lord with tears, With weeping and crying; So He does not regard the offering anymore, Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands. Yet you say, “For what reason?” Because the Lord has been witness Between you and the wife of your youth, With whom you have dealt treacherously; Yet she is your companion And your wife by covenant. But did He not make them one, Having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, And let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth. “For the Lord God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one’s garment with violence,” Says the Lord of hosts. “Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously.” You have wearied the Lord with your words; Yet you say, “In what way have we wearied Him? ” In that you say, “Everyone who does evil Is good in the sight of the Lord , And He delights in them,” Or, “Where is the God of justice?” '
Malachi 2:13-17 NKJV
Only the book of Matthew contains the "except for fornication" permission to divorce, as only the book of Matthew was specifically written for the Jews and the Jewish culture understood that this "fornication" meant sexual unfaithfulness in the betrothal/engagement period (not after the marriage was consummated by sexual union between the husband and wife). An example of this is shown where Joseph wanted to DIVORCE the mother of Jesus, Mary, before they had consummated their marriage as it appeared that she had been unfaithful as she was pregnant prior to having sex with Joseph.
"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together (sexually), she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS." - Matthew 1:18-25 KJV
(Jesus speaking) "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication (the Greek word "porneia"), causeth her to commit adultery (the Greek word "moicheia") and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." - Matthew 5:31-32 KJV
(Jesus speaking) "I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." - Matthew 19:9 KJV
Note no fornication clause in the rest of the gospels, because it was specifically written to the gentiles which did not have the strict betrothal customs like the Jews:
(Jesus speaking) "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
(Jesus speaking) "And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery." - Mark 10:11-12 KJV
The ONLY permission for remarriage is the death of the original spouse:
(Paul speaking) "For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man." - Romans 7:2-3 KJV
Lastly, abandonment by a spouse does not allow remarriage to another. You must either reconcile or stay unmarried.
(Paul speaking) "And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage (to perform the marital duties - this does not allow remarriage) in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" - 1 Corinthians 7:10-16 KJV
John the Baptist took the divorce and remarriage adultery so serious, that he lost his head over it via decapitation by Herod:
But when Herod heard, he said, “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!” For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her. Because John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” - Mark 6:16-18 NKJV
Of all the laws in the Old Testament, Paul emphasized only four - and abstaining from sexual immorality (which is what remarriage is while your original spouse is alive) is one of them:
(Paul speaking) "For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell." - Acts 15:28-29 NKJV
Having children in an adulterous remarriage does not make it any less important to exit that adulterous remarriage as shown in Ezra 10 where they the people had to repent (stop being a part of) unlawful marriages, some of which resulted in offspring ("All these had taken pagan wives, and some of them had wives by whom they had children."
Ezra 10:44 NKJV).
Staying in an adulterous remarriage can take you to hell:
(Paul speaking) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor ADULTERERS, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such WERE (note, they did not stay in their sinful acts as repentance requires STOPPING THE SIN) some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV
Staying in an adulterous remarriage can take you to hell. More like it will. So sad how not many believe God in those Scriptures but always say Gods okay with it because He wants me to be happy. Rubbish. God wants us to be holy.
About the rapture, I'm wondering they are few is taken away? Reed Isaiah 57:1 👇
No man layeth it to heart, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
Perhaps they are few, like Noah and Lot. Maybe because of this👇
Luke 18:8 Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Faith in him who is the Word. John.1:14
And the Rev.7:9,14 thells us a great multitude, which no man can number, are they which come out of great tribulation,
-No man layeth it to heart, and none considering?
-Great multitude, no man can number.
5 of 7 churches in the Book of Revelation received message of repentance.
There is too much sin in the church today. Just to mention one sin;

We can not compromise. We have to repent👉Acts 3:19, 17:30.
But God is mersy👉1 John.1:9, 1:7, 1 Pet.2:24. Eph.2:8, Rom.5:20
Do you think these thoughts and this question is biblical?
Abuse in Marriage people say there are gray areas what about abuse well the bible DOES talk about it! Why have we never seen this or our pastors talked about it?
1 Peter 2:18 Slaves, in reverent fear of God SUBMIT yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are HARSH. 19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the PAIN OF UNJUST SUFFERING because they are conscious of God. 20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. 21 TO THIS YOU WERE CALLED, BECAUSE CHIST SUFFERED FOR YOU, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
22
“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”[e]
23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. 24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” 25 For “you were like sheep going astray,”[f] but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
1 Peter 3 New International Version (NIV)
3 WIVES, IN THE SAME WAY submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
1 Peter 4:Living for God
4 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.
God said you can separate but MUST REMAIN SINGLE OF BE RECONCILED!!
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.”

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. "However, if you refrain from vowing, it would not be sin in you. "You shall be careful to perform what goes out from your lips, just as you have voluntarily vowed to the LORD your God, what you have promised.
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.”

you lost me, and I gave up at 10 minutes....
Phillip; You gave up way too soon. "STUDY to show yourself approved of God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed." You shall know the truth and the truth will set you FREE."
