People these days do not want to hear biblical truth because it 'calls out' their sins and embarrases them. Instead, they twist and turn the scriptures in awkward directions to make the bible fit into their own lives rather than they fitting into the bible's truth. I had a friend who disagreed with remarriage after a divorce BUT when her divorced daughter wanted to get remarried, my friend changed her whole stance on what the bible said and accepted the remarriage without question or explanation. And I'm talking about someone that knew the bible very well until she had to make the choice of upsetting her daughter. In life we all have to make hard decisions whether to follow God or let people change our minds with their unbiblical reasonings.
@@fishnchips2423 I have listened to dozens upon dozens of hours of videos on this topic, possibly even hundreds.

To me, this is manifest evidence of their lack of light.

So what is a person to do if before they were saved made the choice of divorce and got remarried and then became saved her and her 2nd husband both? Is scripture saying they should get divorced in order to not be in sin any longer???? Also her fist marriage was to an unbeliever
I would say that that first marriage is still on until death. So they now have the wonderful opportunity to keep their original promise to the person God actually joined them to. This is repentance. It can be difficult and very painful. But Jesus is worth it.

@@abideintheWord so you’re saying they need to get divorced?

"Till death due us apart" these words are powerful and too real!

But after actual marriage, its a different story. She explains it better than me if you get a chance to watch one of her videos on the topic, would love to hear your thoughts on that view. Anyways great video and God bless!
@@anyelimerie I actually don’t see the betrothal view in Scripture. It doesn’t quite fit the texts. However, I love Sharon and she is a beloved sister in Christ and am very appreciative of what she does. I hope to talk about the view the early Christians all believed soon God-willing. None of them held to the betrothal view that I’m aware of, so that should say something. It’s a fairly new invention. But our views are very similar nonetheless. God bless.
Hey, could you adress in a video something people may ask: if a someone in the Lord decides at some point to go and marry an unbeliever, are they joined together by God or not? (people may use 2 Corinthians to argue that they are not yoked together). As a result, are they considered to be married before the Lord?
Yes, it may be a while until I get to that though. I was going to go through all of Jesus’ words first, and then hit Romans 7 and 1 Cor 7 and then probably start getting in to those types of questions more towards the end. But that’s a good point because many try to make that argument. Don Smith tried to say unbelievers aren’t bound and joined by God. That’s convenient and allows for a lot of divorce and remarriages, but it’s not something found in Scripture. God bless you bro.
I gave the specific situation I wrote in the previous comment because some people may make a distinction saying that 2 unbelievers could be joined by the Lord, and 1 unbeliever and someone who later became Christian could remain joined by the Lord, but if an already Christian decides to marry a non-believer then the Lord would not join them. The idea would be to address those situations separately perhaps.
@@FTBRUclips ah I see. Yeah it comes down to really just creating another exception. So according to them Jesus’ words SHOULD have read WHOSOEVER divorces his spouse, except for sexual immorality AND if a Christian accidentally marries an unbeliever, and married another commits adultery.

Matthew 1:19 describes a legally contracted marriage whereby the husband reasonably believed that his wife had committed adultery. His response and intent was to divorce her quietly.

@@cbtam4333 i never said you couldn’t divorce. I said it’s a command to let not man separate what God has joined together. I also said God divorced Israel for her adultery. However, God never went out to go find another wife. We are to be perfect like our Heavenly Father is perfect. Also, the example you cited Joseph and Mary were betrothed not married. They were called wives back then but they were not married yet.
@ The reason they were called wives (and called widows if their husbands died during the betrothal, and called adulterers if they had relations with another man during the betrothal) is because they were legally married as a result of the signed marriage contract. Just like a couple today who is legally married after they say their vows and before they consummate their marriage. Instead of this period being a matter of hours like today, back then it could be for a year. But it was still a valid marriage in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of God.

So the woman at the well, had five husbands , and a boyfriend yet Jesus still offered her living water. Jesus didn’t tell her to go back to her first husband. You talk like remarriage is a unforgivable sin. I would be careful in casting stones at others, lest you might be also disqualified having preached to others, setting yourself to be a Judge.
What you're missing is that woman did all of this *before* she met Jesus. Her former husbands were most likely oblivious to Jesus and his teaching as well so it wouldn't make any sense for him to go back to her "vomit". When you're CHRISTIAN (= know Him) you don't have the excuse of not knowing the consequences and have the duty to keep your walk on check everytime. Stop the excuses and learn to *listen* without getting your emotions cloud your discernment get the best of you. Calling righteous apologetics "casting stone" is what stops repentance and leave people stuck in sin.
This is an argument from silence. We do not know for sure if Jesus told her anything about her husbands. By the way, no one said that this kind of sin is unforgivable, of course it is, but every person entangled in adulterous marriage has to repent.

This is an argument from silence. We do not know for sure if Jesus told her anything about her husbands. By the way, no one said that this kind of sin is unforgivable, of course it is, but every person entangled in adulterous marriage has to repent.
She was in fornication too, and Jesus never told her to stop her fornication. Hmm, so does this mean we can remain in fornicating relationships?
By the way, don’t follow any man. I’ve seen you set Mike Desario up as your teacher. Jesus said we have One teacher - the Christ.
Also, every sin is unforgivable until you repent of it.
