Had to break it off with my girlfriend when I understood scripture. This is not taught in the church. I knew God was warning me. She was divorced and has kids but loves the Lord but her husband is still alive and in their life. So hard to break it off but I know I did the right thing and am trusting the Lord.
For those of you who are criticizing David of false teaching & justifying sin, just wondering if any of you "perfect" Christians have committed a sin recently. James 2:10 says that if you've offended in one point, you've offended in all.
exactly. but on the other hand your comment is not an argument or a rebuttal, you're trying to justify a sin with another sin and that's not right either. we should all just try as best we can but that doesn't mean we can't share opinions or educate
Just a minute here. One person's sin cannot justify another person sinning as well. And James 2: 10 deals with an offense against the law of Moses. The issue is one requiring deep exploration, and to do that you have to hear both sides of the scriptural interpretation, then sort it out very carefully, with prayer and being humble before the Lord. Name calling is pride and ego showing it's ugly head. But I would add that you have to be very careful Carol, not to make the same mistake they are making and it is so very easy to go in that direction. I KNOW, been there; done that and have the T-shirt.
@David Justice Here is the crux of the issue. A divorce for anything other than fornication, All sexual contact outside of marriage, is a sin, but it has effects on both people. In Jesus day a Roman father could have sex with anyone in his household not a relative, and could kill his spouse children or slaves without penalty. That was Roman law. To think Jesus was not familiar with this growing up in a conquered province is foolish. I would not go quite that far but if one souse can injure or kill the other through mental or physical intimidation, then you do not have love in that marriage, you have deception and being used. So in that case God would not allow the innocent to suffer and be used like that. With people you have cases that fit within hard lines and those where you have no lines as well and have to use discernment. You write as if it is a simple case of getting a situation to fit in or out of a category. Listen again carefully to what is being said, and be blessed.
A lot of lost souls... because churches don’t touch on this subject these days... but thank God my Pastor preaches the truth... it’s a hard one to over come and people are running to 2nd and 3rd marriages like it’s nothing

Scripturally speaking, there is no evidence to justify divorce and remarriage. Remarriage is only for widows/widowers. Even in Matthew 19:1-9, JESUS’ statement about marriage actually ties into the Old Covenant reason for divorce, unchastity. The only thing He added was that even in this instance, divorce was never suppose to be an option. Effectively, Jesus eliminated every reason for divorce. Even if adultery takes place, you still cannot divorce and remarry. The only clause given that allows remarriage is if your spouse dies. If your spouse dies, you are allowed to remarry. Outside of death, you are stuck. If you have remarried and your spouse is still living, you need to seriously consider what needs to happen next because you are currently in an adulterous relationship that can send you and your partner to Hell and eventually the Lake of Fire for eternity. Please take time to research this topic deeply. Pray and fast and study. Don’t go based on man’s word or interpretation, but go based on the Word of GOD. Don’t study with bias, study to learn GOD’s truth. Your eternity is at stake. Do not take this lightly.
Jesus was quite clear that divorce is an acceptable remedy for adultery. The reason that it is so is that the 2 became 1 flesh, which, by the act of adultery, is no longer one flesh.
@@shadowmist1246 Re-read the Scriptures. 'Twain' can NO LONGER be two when they become one. That's why in Malachi 2:14 God says He was there when their first marriage covenant was made and even though they had divorced their wives and married others the first wives were still their wives/companions.
Just Saying: I'm not an expert on hermeneutics but the profit Malachi seems to be talking to the Jews who were wrongly divorcing their Jewish wives and then wrongly marrying gentiles who were worshiping idols. Malachi 2:14 states that "the Lord is witness between you and the wife of your youth. You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant". Again in 2:15: "...do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth". I don't see anything here that contradicts the rest of the bible. Saying that it is wrong to break a marriage does not mean that a marriage cannot be broken. What was the penalty in the old testament for breaking your marriage vows?
Fairclough Counseling and Consulting Services he is living in adultery that’s what Jesus said if you are married and you leave your wife and marry a Nother and your first wife still alive you are living in adultery that’s Bible it’s like common sense if he dies by being with his second wife know that his first wife is still alive he will be going to hell
In that very first part in verse 28 ("But if you do marry, you have not sinned"), Paul is talking to men specifically who have never been married, in context with verses 26-27. Then in the middle of verse 28 after he says that, he shifts the topic to virgins (women who have never been married). I would choose other Scriptures for your specific argument - if you can. And if you can't, there you go. This is in response to 5:40.
I truly appreciate your desire to handle the word accurately. This has been important to me too, so my question here is genuine, and not adversarial. When I look at the passage, the portion you are addressing, it appears to me that the subject "you" being referred to in the phrase "if you marry, you have not sinned" is the same subject as in the sentence that came immediately before, "the one released from a wife." Then, in the next sentence, the subject changes to virgin women. Is there another way to read it? Here's the passage from 1 Corinthians 7: 27 "The one bound to a wife should not seek divorce. The one released from a wife should not seek marriage. 28 But if you marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned."
Sorry David, you got this one wrong. The key point is who is Paul addressing in 1 Corinthians chapter 7:28? He's talking to virgins, specifically male virgins - folks who have never been married. He is not talking to married or divorced people. 1Cor 7:25, "Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord...." So when Paul gets to verse 28 (still addressing males virgins), he is telling the male virgins if they do marry they have not sinned, and he also addresses the female virgins..."But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned..."
Piru Lee do you really believe Paul was telling people who had never married that they were not sinning if they got married ? That makes no sense to have to tell people of both sexes they are not sinning or in this case specifically telling people who have not EVER married or had sex that they are not committing adultery if they marry. That's about as dumb as step one of directional use to a blow dryer being step 1 - plug the blow dryer into a power source. That should go without saying wouldn't you think ?

I agree, but this man should be ashamed and humble himself because he's wrong. The scriptures he is reading are to unmarried, who are the virgin men and women, also to the widowed.
Read Romans 7:2-3, 1 Corinthians 7:39. You are bond to your first wife or husband until death. No remarriage after divorce. If you divorce and remarry , you are committing adultery as in the eyes of God you are married to your first wife or husband. If your husband or wife dies , you can remarry. If you divorce you can stay unmarried or get back to your first wife or husband. ( 1 corinthians 7:10-11) Watch this testimony of someone who divorced and remarried. ruclips.net/video/aEzEf2EXrEE/видео.html
In John 4 we learn that the woman at the well had been married 5 times and was living with a man who was not her husband. She told Jesus that she ( presently) had no husband. Jesus affirmed that to be the truth. My point is that in God's eyes she was not at that time married.
David S is right about that. I had a thought along the same line: Is it "lust" to merely find a woman attractive? So many Christian schools of thought seem to think any kind of sexual attraction is a sin. Do these people think prudishness is a fruit of the Spirit or something? I see lust as using a person to gratify some desire without any regard for their thoughts and feelings. There could be more to it than that though.
but and if thou marry is directed to the virgins not to the divorced. "thou" is the virgin that he started to address in the beginning of the passage. its ended with virgin female because he was addressing men first. he never once left the subject of virgins until the very end after he addressed them with nevertheless if you do marry you will have trouble in the flesh, but its your choice "I spare you"
David Servant is correct in his interpretations. The commentators below are deceived by their churchs' culture. You have to take the whole scripture, which he does here.
No, you are completely wrong. And I believe you are one of those who divorced and are remarried. Both of you are deceived ....and you for your own lust and desire for something new. Your hart is hard like stone
as I read verse 27 ,28 it seems to be saying word for word, that if you have a wife , do not seek to end the marriage, if you dont have a wife do not seek to get married, but if you do get married it is not a sin, and you are free to get married. This passage doesnt say if you've been released you are free to get married , it just doesnt say that. It seems that he is speaking to those who have not ever been married or are married to stay as they are. If you can clarify this more as to your teachings when you say he was saying "but if you've been released you are free to remarry," please show us exactly how it states that in these passages your referring too. I'm not saying that divorce and remarriage is a sin if you remarry under certain circumstances, i'm just pointing out your words against what the scriptures actually say word for word that you just mentioned. Thankyou
I'm not a Greek scholar, but I believe the word used for "the unmarried" referred to o people who were unmarried for any reason. That is, it would include the formerly married as well as the never married. The context of 1 Corinthians 7:9 ("better to marry than burn with passion") would give me no reason to believe this would not apply to those who were divorced. In short, you are either married or you are not.
It"s sad how people dance around the words of Jesus, snd compare His word to something else There's a way that seemeth right unto man , but the end leads to destruction proverbs 14:12. It's better to obey our Lord Jesus, so we can enter heaven.
Verse 28 does NOT imply to “re-marry” it’s clearly saying that it is best NOT TO MARRY simply because time is short. How could you take verse 28 and use it to totally change a God given command by saying that Paul is referring to the “divorced?” Sir, you err greatly.
You are correct regarding remarriage. If the divorce was on just and fair grounds, then the freedom to remarry is clearly implied. I know of no support for any position where someone seeking a divorce on just grounds would be prevented from remarrying another. Those on the Marriage Permanence side would claim the bond is unbreakable, but that is circular reasoning. "Marriage is permanent because marriage is permanent" is not a valid answer.
What if the Marriage was a fixed marriage and the husband left his wife and he is having a new partner leaving together. What will happen to the original wife ? She will stay single ?for the rest of her life ?
God does not talk about particular situations, His will applies to everyone. As long as your spouse lives, you can't remarry (Romans 7:2-3, 1 Corinthians 7:39)
@Bitrus Ibrahim Mingyi even if it is a fixed marriage, you were asked if you take that woman to be your wife until death and you said yes. Isn't it? You could have rejected her, you could have made it clear that you don't wanna marry her. You all try to find a door to remarry but the Bible is clear. God bless you!

5. There is no indication that I Cor. 7:28 is talking about people who have been divorced - you are wresting the Scripture to say that. The whole context of those verses is telling people to be content with their present status, married or unmarried, and don't be too worried about changing it. This was because of the dangerous times they were living in. BUT, if they did want to marry, that was not going to be condemned.
You are either married or you are not. For that reason, I considered 1 Corinthians 7:28 to be just as applicable to the divorcees as it would to someone who was never married.
@@dh605xif it didn't I would hope God would have explained the difference between the two. But in this passage he doesn't. So i agree, it would apply to both divorced and the non married . I ask if this is true of anyone else reading this to show me from scripture.
Maybe you shouldn't remarry a divorcee but what is utterly evil is to try and break up a SECOND Christian marriage when one partner has been divorced. I believe that whilst divorce is not in God's will, God still treats that second marriage as a valid Christian marriage and it is pastorally wise for us to do so. Note that divorce was absolutely rife in Jewish life in Jesus' day, the problem was that it was done on trivial not genuine grounds, and Jesus declared in Matthew that there WERE genuine grounds.
4. I Corinthians 7:24 is not talking about being called as married or unmarried. It is talking about servitude and circumcision. Remember, this chapter is not only about marriage - it is answering a number of questions the Corinthian people had.
You must start with verse 25 since this is where the writer changes the topic to virgins. Verse 25 - 28 the writer is addressing virgins. It is clear that these verses are speaking of virgins ONLY! It clearly states first thing in verse 27; Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Then the writer switches to those who are unmarried (virgins). He suggest they don't marry. Then beginning in verse 28 "But if you do marry you haven't committed sin", and then it goes on to say that if the (female referenced by she) marries, she has not sinned. So these scriptures are saying it is only virgins who marry that (couple both virgins) do not commit sin. I believe verses 10-11 speaks directly to the married and gives direct instructions concerning the ending of any marriage. It's a clear NO to remarriage. Then you will see in the next few verses the marriage of a believer to an unbeliever. The believer should still stay but if the unbeliever leaves anyway then the believer is not bound. The only other situation where you can remarry is if your spouse dies, and even then that person has to be in the Lord. 1 Corinthians chapter 7 covers all this and more.
What about Romans 7:1-4 that speaks of the marriage covenant which can only be terminated with death? Yes we should not ask anyone who is blissfully remarried to divorce. But for those who were divorced and single at the moment, we should encourage them not to marry (1 Corinth 7) . Would like to hear your thoughts on this. Thankyou
It seems to me the ones in agreement with what is being said it’s seems it’s because the passing this untruth is in a second marriage and have to justify the reason for divorcing and remarrying... The Bible is very clear, it’s so sad that people actually agree with man rather than Jesus!!!
Our own mind and heart is what gets us in trouble. That is why God has given us his word, so we should not rely upon our own understanding. God's word and promises will always exceed everything for all eternity. He is the beginning and the end.
Nothing controversial about this at all, just deception. God is not the author of confusion Satan is. Why is it that those in support of adultery always craftyly leave out 1 Corinthians 7: 39 which says : A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives, but if her husband dies she is at liberty to be married to whomever she wishes only in the Lord. These people always flash 1Corinthians 7: 27-28 then turn a blind eye to verse 39 which is further down in the same chapter knowing fully well that so many never take out time to read and verify for themselves from the bible. Please folks read your bible yourselves and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you the truth, these are the last days.
And if I didn't want to divorce??? He just left us for someone other??? Now do I have to stay unhappy and see him happy with his new family and his proper family is unhappy??? I don't understand this concept....
Louisa Pretorius you must remain unmarried and allow God to change that mans heart. We are given free will so he has a choice. But ultimately if he chooses to marry another he will pay the ultimate price which is an eternity of hell fire. But if you stay faithful to Gods word you will receive the ultimate reward. Which is eternal life
The concept Louisa is if you were faithful and he left you for someone else it means that he has committed adultery and you can therefore seek a divorce and re-marry.
Louisa Pretorius PLEASE LOOUISA...STOP...asking people about matters of Hell or Heaven...trust ONLY JESUS....Jesus said on 3 occassions that ALL divorce and remarriage was adultury causing one to perish in Hell

Many times words have more than one meaning for example blue, the sky is blue, or I'm feeling blue today. Simple example, but the meaning changes drastically depending on context of the sentence. When determining exgesis it is very important to know all aspects surrounding the particular scripture. To not take into account who Jesus is speaking to could change the entire meaning. To not take into account old testament accounts means the ten commandments are no longer needed since we have the new testament. There is only one unforgivable sin and it is not a failed marriage. The society when Jesus spoke to the Pharisees was riddled with divorce and not once did he tell everyone to return to their first spouse. Why? The answer is simple, it would have violated Deuteronomy 24. To say Jesus came with a higher standard I have to ask higher than God? Can the word adultery have more meaning than a extamarital affair? How about the premature end of a covenant? How about a recipe with a wrong ingredient? Now read the scriptures and see if there is something you have missed. When the marriage vows are made does the couple suddenly become without sin? What should we do when we sin? Let's all go to the the one with the harshest exgesis. How about we take our sins to our savior and ask forgiveness. Blessings
You're right on this. Some people who claim to "follow the Commands of Christ" are failing to exercise even basic due diligence in testing the spirits. On the face of it, the command for some couples to divorce - who otherwise would have no desire to - should receive maximum scrutiny. 1 Timothy 4 shows that not all false teachings are more permissive than is biblically warranted. Some false teachings are restrictive in unconscionable ways. Those who promote false teachings that are restrictive will often accuse their opponents of promoting what other people want to hear. But there actually is an audience for legalistic doctrine.
I don't think 1 Corinthians 7:28 is talking about being remarried. I think it's talking about being married at all because previously he was talking about how if you are not married don't seek to be married. He was advising that people who aren't married at this time of persecution, do not seek to be married. However, if they do get married, then they have not sinned. I just don't think that the verse you're referencing is actually talking about divorce and remarriage. And by the way, I have recently divorced my husband and hope that I have freedom to get remarried one day. I'm still struggling with that idea.
I have a question? I have to watch what I say because my husband comes on here all the time and his friends are on here 24/7 and some of that runs on here he claims to be a Christian and his friends helped him cheat on me but he tries to preach ain't that considered is adultery. These people that runs this web site has me blocked off most of the site due to the situation because they talked me into leaving the whole family then he ended up coming back to us after she didn't want him. Is pretty much a mind game thing
In your case, he committed adultery. Therefore he should legally pay the death penalty according to the law of Moses and you would be free. So in your case, you are free to do what you want. Since spiritually your bond is already dead. But Jesus said a women divorced should stay single. He said this teaching is not for everyone. But only those seeking to be used and blessed by God. (Mathew 19)
Do hope you, Nora, are practicing what you preach -- making absolutely sure not to sin in any area of your life. James 2:10 says that he that offends in one point OFFENDS IN ALL.
This adultery when a person remarries after divorce denotes an ongoing sin of adultery as long as they remain together. We would never say that a prostitute could continue in her sin as a prostitute after she has repented from it. The second marriage after divorce is not a marriage it is adultery and must be forsaken.
@Millicient Aspinet I listened clearly to what he said, I also can quote from the Bible "Luke 16:17-18 "17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law. 18Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. " Also, keep in mind that John the Baptist challenged an unsaved couple, Herod and Herodias for being in an unlawful marriage. They chopped off his head for telling them this. The entire Bible backs up my claim that God made two people one in a marriage that does not end until death. It began back in the garden. We see no passages in the Bible that validate a second marriage after divorce, there are no examples of this, nor are there words that support it.
@@gwendolynwehage6336 So you claim the entire Bible backs up your claim? Have you considered Ex 21:10-11, Deut 21:11-14, Matt 5:32, 1 Cor 7:15, and Jer 3:8? Is King David now in the Fiery Notheaven because of his "adulterous" remarriage to Bathsheba? (1 Kings 11:34 implies nope.) And if there is any one verse that would be a deathblow to the Marriage Permanence Doctrine, Matthew 22:30 could be it. Sometimes it sickens me how you legalistic Marriage Permanence heretics can be so sure of yourselves while being dead wrong on so many critical matters.
@@dh605x David was guilty of murder when he married that she when he married her her husband was dead that was not adultery the adultery was before her husband was dead.

@@dh605x you know I said no such thing. This is so typical of those who want to fight and argue but are not interested in the truth. If a believer dies in an adulterous marriage they still go to heaven but will miss rewards for their disobedience. Here's the problem most divorced and remarriage people have never been born again which is the reason they feel no guilt about living in adultery. It is also the reason they are hostile when challenged to seek God about their sin. Matthew 7:21-23 I Never Knew You 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’" 1 Corinthians 3:14-16 "…14If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward. 15If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames. 16Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?…" I have never understood those who work hard to justify their sin, taking passages out of context to make them say what justifies their sin.
When one person commits adultery, the marriage is already broken; they are no longer married in God's eyes. Therefore, this is why a certificate of divorce is also recognized by God. When a person is no longer married to an adulterer or adulterous, why can they not get married again?
@@shadowmist1246 They cannot for the simple reason that Jesus said it is adultery. Read Luke 16:18, Mark 10:1-12, Romans 7:1-3, 1 Corinthians 7, Malachi 2:11-16, Matthew 19:1-9; 5:30-32. Also, He still considers your first spouse your companion and He ONLY recognises the covenant you first made (Malachi 2:14).
Jesus said it is not adultery if there adultery by the one you divorce. remarrying a spouse who has been married and divorced or in marriage similar relationships is dubious unless this is talking about disguised wife swapping, God says this is abomination in Deut somewhere. I am very hesitant about this subject, can't resolve it.
Scripture says if one divorces EXCEPT FOR THE SIN OF FORNICATION....so if someone divorces because their spouse is fornicating, the spouse that divorces them is not sinning. Would they be guilty of adultery if they remarried? Or would it be as if they had not been married at all?
@Rosanna Miller, In Matthew 19:9 and 5:32 when Jesus says "except for fornication", He was referring to ENGAGED jewish couples. No where else does the word 'porneia' applies to anything but fornication when juxtaposed with 'moicheia', the Hebrew word for adultery. Jesus is saying in this verse, Matthew 19:9, that if one of the BETROTHED partners commits fornication (that is the betrothal is not yet a full marriage so there should be no consummation) then the other partner is free to be loosed from that betrothed partner and get married to someone else. The betrothed Jew was considered married even before the final marriage ceremony which could take place up to a year after the engagement. To get out of the engagement he had to publicly divorce his betrothed. This verse does not apply to you and me. If one's spouse commits adultery against you, you are not free to remarry until he passes away.
Rosanna - If a person divorces their spouse because the spouse committed adultery, the adulterer has effectively ended the union that is now, no longer "one". The couple is no longer married in God's eyes therefore, it is ok for the person seeking a certificate of divorce to re-marry.

@@robydany8749 Remarriage after divorce was explicitly allowed in the Old Testament. Why would it not be allowed today? Did God simply change His mind?
You're wrong, Paul is right Romans 7:2,3 teaches that it is SIN for the man or the woman to remarry as long as both are alive. STOP TWISTING THE WORD TO SAY WHAT YOU WANT IT TO SAY. HELL AWAITS YOU IF YOU DONT REPENT.
Ok I just finished watching and u say it’s ok to remarry. What about in my case with the guy I went on a date with? We really like each other. According to scripture they are still married in God’s eyes as there were no Biblical grounds for divorce. A lot of time, faith and prayer has gone into restoration to no avail. She has recently started a new relationship. Would this be considered adultery on her part as they could still be married in God’s eyes? If not, then is the next option for the two divorcés to repent, be forgiven for the divorce and reasons behind it and then are free to remarry in God’s eyes?. I’m really disappointed as he is waiting on God about this still. Help!!!

according to David Pawson the adultery has to have happened, before the separation.....other wise one just separates.....which is to defraud ones mate, into an act, of adultery, and divorce....and remarry...
I have spent 100s of hours studying this topic in the Bible, even reading about 20 books on the subject on every side of the issue one could think of. I've even taught on the subject. It's refreshing to finally hear a video where the person actually has some Bible knowledge and knows how to rightly divide God's truths. A lot of confusion on this subject has been influenced by the Catholic Church and their original influences on the translations of the Bible. Also a lot of confusion has taken place because of taking passages out of their context. The Old Testament and Law of Moses certainly allowed divorce and remarriage. In fact the priests were not allowed to marry "prostitutes, divorced women or widows." This was just a prohibition for them, not for the general public.
You are getting a lot of criticism for your teachings on marriage and divorce and rightfully so from genuine Christians. Interesting that you only responded to someone who tickled your ear with praise.
@@dh605x There is only 1 reason to divorce given in the scriptures and they are given by Jesus in Matthew 5:32 and 19:9. Probably because when adultery takes place, they are no longer one --- you can't be one with your spouse and one with someone else at the same time. I could have been more eloquent and tactful with my criticism comment.
What if I have taken someone's Virginity but have not married her (and never gave her the false promise of marriage)? Would God allow me to marry another woman and be happy with her?
Repent and follow Jesus. God will allow you to remarry only walk with Him or it will not work. If you repent, all is forgiven. Treat women with respect.
this is good teaching. My husband was an unbeliever and divorced me. I am no longer bound to Matthew in this case. And if I marry someone else, I have not sinned. But I would be happier single in Paul the Apostles opinion.
The reasons are irrelevant "What God has joined together, let NOT man put asunder" Sadly millions just do not like what Christ taught as it forbids them divorcing & remarrying in the lifetime of their spouse. That is why Christ has well warned "Many are called, few are chosen". 13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it." Matthew 7:13-14 (NLT)
I was married for 35 years my husband was a constantly womanizing, volatile, violent, abusive emotionally and mentally to myself and the children. Enjoyed porn in private but I found out that too. Then I divorced and met a wonderful man then we got married. Now two of them are damaged and can’t function in a normal way regarding work and socially. I always thought it was a sin to divorce but I was tired of it all and finally got divorced. My new husband and I where really compatible and in love. He then died 7th February 2019 of a heart attack I was devastated I’m totally heart broken.
If you are currently married, but were previously divorced, you are not to divorce your current spouse in order to try and reconcile with your previous spouse.
There is not one of us that has not sinned and it would be safe to say more than once. I have to question what sin does God not hate? When sin occurs in our lives does anyone think God watching over us says I never saw that before. Much effort is being spent this topic of divorce and remarriage and the scripture surrounding it. For those that believe divorce does not end a marriage and that you are still married to that spouse Deuteronomy would be a good place to start. When Jesus spoke to the pharisee's why didn't he say there is no such thing as divorce, or it is impossible, or how about put to death all divorced and remarried people since they are committing adultery and not just once but perpetually or tell all the remarried to return to their first spouse. Jesus spoke to the pharisee's about their misunderstanding of divorce and if he wanted all remarried to return to their first spouse for salvation sake I'm sure it would have been in the scripture. Believe as you want but there sure is much to do about what is not found in the scripture. My rock is Jesus and salvation is only possible through him, he is my savior and he has cast my sins as far as east is to the west. To those that are threatening hell if your exegesis is not followed please go back to the promises of Christ to those that believe. Blessings to all

@@philipbuckley759 I'm not here to explain my personal place in life only to urge people to seek professional qualified advice rather than taking advice from self appointed RUclips counselors. It is unfortunate that people will actually take the advice from the unqualified commenters on RUclips. Not only is it irresponsible it is also sinful to give life changing advice when you can't be reached by those taking your advice. I have seen many of your comments and it leads me to believe you would benefit from live qualified counseling. These are biblical questions that will get you thinking. Did Jesus address Moses as being wrong or the pharisees convoluted view of divorce and a following marriage? Where did Jesus tell those married again to divorce to repent (just a verse will be fine)? Is God's perfect plan one man one woman for life? What would be short of God's perfect plan of one man one woman for life ( be sure to get all of the sins)? Do people fall short of God's perfect plan of one man one woman for life even before marriage? Where did Jesus say I only let those married once in the kingdom? Most important do you take the whole counsel of the bible before accepting any doctrine? Rather than asking personal questions seek the whole counsel of the scriptures. My position in life will not help you and your walk with Christ in any way, just as your position will not help me. Now ask yourself are you a qualified counselor ready to give face to face help for the people you advise? Do you have the required certification to advise? Have a blessed day.
@@ObeyJesusOurLord Thanks Carol. I'm really sick of the RUclips self appointed counselors that so readily tell people to make life changing decisions on their faulty understanding of scripture.

I have chose to reveal their total lack of knowledge and qualifications. I have exposed a number of them and everytime they start out threatening and then suddenly quit with their tirades. Hopefully people will see that they are nothing but internet trolls and have nothing worthwhile to give. Even AJ the troll gave up.

Thank you for clearing that up i married a woman from another belief and after 2 yrs it ended after finding out i had been lied to about there past and if we had kids they wanted to teach them beliefs and i refused my question is will god forgive me and would it a sin for me to remarry a person who believes in jesus thank you for your time
You must not remarry you must now ask the Lord to change her heart. So she can be converted and see the real truth of Jesus Christ. This is why it is key not to yoke ourselves to people out side the faith because we leave a small portion of our fate in their hands
shadowmist I’m sorry but your spouse can not become one with anyone else. You can only be in covenant with one person at a time. So until either of them pass away they will only ever be in covenant with one another. The Lord says what he joins together let no one man asunder. No judge or court can separate a spiritual covenant with God.
Nell...re: your statement: "I’m sorry but your spouse can not become one with anyone else" - this cannot be true because adultery is the very act of becoming one with someone else. When you become one with a third person, you are no longer one with the original person. That's the very definition of what adultery truly is. re: your statement: "You can only be in covenant with one person at a time." - that is true. You cannot be one with two others. re: your statement: "So until either of them pass away they will only ever be in covenant with one another." - in Mathew 5 and 19, Jesus contradicts your statement by allowing divorce for reasons of broken covenant (adultery). re: your statement: "The Lord says what he joins together let no one man asunder." - this seems to be a warning against the act of adultery or the government offering divorces for minuscule reasons. re: your statement: "No judge or court can separate a spiritual covenant with God". - that's true. A marriage is not over until death or adultery has occurred regardless of the court's idea of giving divorces out like candy.
You're right. There is much division on this subject, and it distresses me greatly. I've seen the leadership at church assemblies subject it's members to church disciplinary proceedings for getting a divorce even in compelling cases. People who don't go to church notice such disreputable behavior. To subject a battered wife to church disciplinary proceedings for getting away from an abusive scoundrel of a husband is discreditable to the Faith. To declare that such a woman is violating God's standards is not only blasphemous but slanderous to God as well! I long for the day when the Church will say to abusive men and their enablers: "you have no place among us".
No one should stay in an abusive environment...they can separate/divorce just dont remarry. Do no give bad advice such as this. There are some terrible circumstances where a person must leave for their safety and for their children.
"For better or for worse" means "No matter what life throws at us." It does not mean "No matter what evil you do." You do not have to tolerate abuse in a marriage. Abuse is valid grounds for divorce. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a heretic and an idolater.
So I my ex wife left me for no apparent reason, just that she is not interested in being married anymore, I am forever sentenced to be alone for the rest of my life? Isn't it that Jesus came and died on the cross to pay for ALL transgressions? Including divorce? So then His death does not cover divorce? He didn’t make me free from the ban of divorce? Because of Jesus I am free and my debt has been paid and ALL my sins are gone and cleared. Why then would He still punish me for being divorced and not allowing me to find love and not living a lonely life?
Read David Instone Brewer's book on this matter. If your wife left you how are you still bound? Would God sentence you to singleness for the rest of your life for her sin? No.
Ok i may be wrong about a few things but ive been reading alot on this.im divorced myself and thought about remarrying a new woman but i really dont feel god is ok with it.i feel the bible is very clear on remarriage being adultery.unless ur spouse dies or cheats u should not seek a new spouse.now if 2 non believers get married after being divorced and then get saved in their new marriage i think its ok to repent and stay in the new marriage.but for 2 christians who get married after being divorced knowing full well its wrong id say whoa.can we get married or not?people twist the bible to make it seem ok for them to sin but the bible is gods holy word it has not changed and never will so am i right to break up with my gf and live alone.and seek to be reconciled to my 1st wife if possible.if not stay single? Thats what im getting from the bible.theres alot of people that have their own opinions and try 2 interpret the bible to suit their own beliefs.in the end i know ill just have to pray about it and keep asking for gods help
Mr.Servant, why did you take these verses in 1 Cor 7 (25Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. 26I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be. 27Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 28But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you..) OUT OF CONTEXT? If Paul is talking to "virgins", which the verses say that he is, then how do these passages refer to a consummated one-flesh covenant marriages? Since when is a person "LOOSED" from a consummated marriage a virgin? If you look closely at verse 27 and 28, you see that Paul is not only addressing virgins, but he is also addressing those "loosed" from a marriage.If a VIRGIN is loosed from a marriage, it is most likely Paul was talking about being loosed from betrothal which is a one year period before the consummated marriage. Also, if it was about a consummated marriage, the only way a spouse is "loosed" is if his or her spouse has DIED, not divorced. You cannot place "divorce" in the place of "loosed" in this passage since that conflicts totally with 1 Cor 7:10,11, and 39. It is erroneous teaching to believe that Paul was using these passages about a divorce from a one-flesh consummated marriage. YOUR teaching contradicts Paul's teaching, because Paul never contradicted what the Lord Jesus Christ taught about marriage. (Mt 19:4-6; Mk 10:6-9) Marriage by definition if one man and one woman for life, no excuses, no exceptions! ///Are happily-married Christians who were divorced in their past guilty of adultery? /// Now if "remarriages" are states of ADULTERY, and NOT a marriage, then wouldn't your interpretation be completely false? You want the listener to believe that Christians should not divorce from "remarriages" while at the same time you do not want them to divorce from a marriage. Do you really understand what you are saying? Also, your understanding of verse 20 as it applies to "remarriage",...should this apply to those who are in fornication? After all, if a person should remain as they are when they come to Christ, would not remaining in what God calls adultery be the same as remaining in fornication. Why get married if God calls you to remain as you are? How about homosexuality, or any other sin? What you seem to not understand is that one-flesh covenant marriage can never end in divorce. Instead of telling people the truth, you are leading them to a false understanding of marriage. When you say there is no where in scripture where it tells Christians to divorce from their "remarriage", you must understand there is no where in scripture where a Christian "remarriage" after a divorce is ever called a "marriage"...it is always called adultery. You are a dangerous teacher and should be avoided.
So these false teachers enter the world of apostates themselves. Notice what they have managed to pull off-a vernacular term meaning to deceive. They take a clean holy vessel- a spouse who never committed adultery-and have led that spouse directly into and adulterous union and have accomplished even a greater feat; they have called the unholy act of adultery, holy matrimony. It is as if they are saying to the spouse, Go, the church blesses your holy-adultery. The crime here is enlarged since now the spouse is trapped into the bonds of sin without the immediate opportunity to repent and be saved, repent and be forgiven. This is apostasy. The Pharisees asked, “Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away,” did they realize what they said. The word in Greek for divorcement is apostasion. The “writing of divorcement” can be referred to as a Writing of Apostasy. Salvation sola gratia assures sinners that by repentance and faith they are saved; “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” The false teacher’s doctrine slaps sola gratia in the face. By teaching holy-adultery they have created an act whereby the sinner is at liberty to willfully sin and live comfortably- especially in the church-in a state of mind whereby they believe they are righteous. This is an affront to the Gospel-excluding the sin of adulterous-remarriage from the act of repentance-now the sinner cannot be forgiven because they do not know they are living in sin. May this never be! SUMMARY OF EARLY CHURCH DOCTRINE ON MARRIAGE, DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE 90 A.D. - 419 AD.
1. If a spouse persists in adulterous behavior and there is no other alternative, the marriage relationship can be terminated by the innocent party. (Hermas, Clement, Jerome, Augustine) 2. Spouses that are divorced for any reason must remain celibate and single as long as both spouses live. Remarriage is expressly prohibited. (Hermas, Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine) 3. To indulge in lust with the mind is to be guilty of adultery of the heart. (Justin Martyr) 4. Whoever marries a divorced person commits adultery. (Hermas, Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine) 5. Whoever contracts a second marriage, whether a Christian or not, while a former spouse lives is sinning against God. (Justin Martyr, Ambrose) 6. God does not, and the Church must not, take into account human law when it is in violation of God’s law. (Justin Martyr, Origen, Ambrose) 7. God judges motives and intentions, private thought life and actions. (Justin Martyr) 8. The marriage covenant between a man and a woman is permanent, as long as both husband and wife are alive. (Clement, Origen, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine) 9. It is a serious offense against God to take another person’s spouse. (Basil) 10. The Church must charge all persons who are in possession of another living person’s former husband or wife with adultery. (Basil) 11. Sexual relations are a marital right that is limited to one’s own husband or wife. (Hermas, Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine) 12. Sexual relations with one’s legitimate spouse protects from sexual sin. (Ambrose) 13. Marriage and sexual relations with a remarried spouse while a former spouse lives is the sin of adultery. (Hermas, Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine) 14. It is a serious mistake to believe that it is simply one’s right to divorce a spouse and take another. Even though human law may permit such a thing, God strictly forbids it, and cannot, and will not honor it. (Clement, Origen, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine) 15. Anyone who follows human customs and laws regarding marriage, divorce and remarriage, instead of God’s Divine instructions should stand in fearful awe of God Himself. (Clement, Ambrose) 16. All lawmakers, in and out of the Church are warned, to their peril, to hear and obey the Word of the Lord in regard to His commands on marriage and divorce. (Ambrose) 17. Christians are to stop making excuses and trying to find justification for divorce and remarriage. There are no valid reasons acceptable to God. (Jerome, Augustine) 18. A marriage is for life. No matter what a spouse turns out to be, or how they may act, what they do or don’t do, or the sins they commit, the covenant remains fully in effect. A remarriage while a former spouse lives is not marriage at all, but sinful adultery. God does not divide the one flesh relationship except by physical death. (Hermas, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine) 19. Marriage is a lifelong covenant that will never be invalidated by God while both parties live. (Hermas, Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Augustine) pastor Carlos

Or do i endure and stay single???? Help Me .... 💔
Nancy E Garcia, here is a comment I made below. Study the scriptures for yourself. It is not man's opinion that counts on the Day; it is the Word of God. Weeping endures for only a night, eternity is forever wherever you spend it: What a snake-tongued presentation of the Word of God. The command not to divorce is for persons in a legitimate, holy matrimonial union. If such a one divorces and remarries while the other spouse remains alive, that command to not divorce does not apply since they should not be remarried in the first place, then if either remarries he/she is in adultery and adulterers do not go to heaven (1 Corinthians 6: 9-10). Let me address the morbid interpretation of 1 Corinthians 7 that this false teacher gives. Note that he says that verse 28 is "addressed to the person who he's just been addressing". But who was Paul addressing. Do read a few verses above 28 and see exactly who Paul is addressing. In verses 25 to 28 Paul addresses VIRGINS. A (male) jewish, virgin could be bound or loose to a wife which explains verse 27. He could be bound awaiting the final marital ceremony or he could choose to be loosed from that engagement ('marriage') as Joseph wanted to be loosed from Mary when he discovered she was pregnant. Do recall that Mary, while betrothed (engaged) to Joseph, was a virgin. She was not 'fully' married to Joseph and so they had not yet consummated the marriage. (Note that a jewish betrothal was treated as a marriage that was yet to be consummated). Note, however, in Matthew 1:18-20 that Mary and Joseph are referred to as 'wife and 'husband respectively.'' Armed with this knowledge you can see where the falsehood lies with this liar. Also, in Matthew 19:9 when Jesus says "except for fornication", He was referring to engaged, jewish couples. No where else does the word 'porneia' applies to anything but fornication when juxtaposed with 'moicheia', the Hebrew word for adultery. Jesus is saying in this verse, Matthew 19:9, that if one of the betrothed partners commits fornication (that is the betrothal is not yet a full marriage so there should be no consummation) then the other partner is free to be loosed from that betrothed partner and get married to someone else. This verse does not apply to you and me. If one's spouse commits adultery against you, you are not free to remarry until he passes away. That's the one consistent teaching throughout the Scriptures. See Malachi 2:14-16 (verse 14 is so striking in that it reminds us that God is a witness to your marriage and that even after divorce God still considers that first covenant binding and not the remarriage-covenant), Matthew 19:1-9, Matthew 5:31-32; Mark 10:1-12, 29-30; Luke 16:18; Romans 7:1-3; 1 Corinthians 7: esp verses 10, 11, 15, 27, 39. Note also the warning from Romans 1:27-32;
So someone can not divorce if those partner is abusive or simply if you do not like eachother. That is bizarre. Stay single till your ex die which will lead you to sin what a crazy concept
Lydia, just a clarification of terms. Divorce implies that it's ok to re-marry. Separation is what I think you mean't? Separation or legal separation would be the remedy for domestic abuse. But domestic abuse by itself does not break the oneness of the marriage so divorce would not be the remedy.
+Lion of Judah everyone commits adultery from time to time but hey we are all sinners? what a spiritual slob and deluded person you are! I Cor. 7:1,2 is distinct from the issue of virgins marrying Corinthian converts would have include those who had been married and divorced maybe several times. Jesus didn't rescind the mosaic allowance just warned using it casually wasn't practicing purity. abuse incliuding some really evil mental cruelty would be similar to an unbeliever driving you out or leaving you. both this and death of the spouse leaves you "not bound" "not under bondage." MARRIAGE WAS DEFINED BY ROMAN LAW AS LIVING TOGETHER A YEAR AND A DAY and sex makes the two one flesh. fornication is serial adultery. the Roman laws on marriage changed over centuries, but Paul didn't address this so if you have a cohabitaing companionate marriage without legality and you dump this person for no good reason and take up with another or legally marry another you are committing adultery also. only virgins or those whose prior sex partners have willingly had sex with others or are dead can marry without some degree of adultery being involved. Jesus said not all could receive this teaching when the apostles said it is better never to marry if you can't get out of it. the man who had found his bride was not a virgin (and he hadn't been the one who had been with her before the wedding) had been defrauded into the marriage since he wouldn't have had her if he knew. you could argue some marriages could be ended on the basis of fraud.
Lydia: A person may be free to marry because they have never been married or may be free to marry because they are no longer married to their adulterous spouse. Marriage is the union of 2 becoming 1. Adultery is the actual severing of this union in God's eyes and hence, the only reason why Jesus gives for a state issued divorce.
No you cannot remarry after a divorce and scripture is very clear on this. The word must be taken struck and literal. Jesus will never divorce himself from his church. That is why Paul compared our relationship with Jesus to the marriage Covenant and that is why a husbands sacrifice and love for his wife is compared to Jesus’s love and sacrifice for us. Jesus said we may separate for a time to meditate ( seek help ) however get back together and keep the marriage sacred. God does not contradict himself anywhere in scripture. Mr Servant you just quoted the Bible - there is no divorce in the new covenant.
7. Do not use the Old Testament to formulate doctrine. You said that divorced woman were allowed to get remarried under the old covenant, and then you say that it is the same under the new covenant because Paul said, "if they marry, they have not sinned". As I pointed out in number 5 below, Paul was not talking here about divorced persons. It is wrong to say that the new covenant is the same as the old in this topic, because Jesus refuted that in Matthew 19:8.
i knew a lady who is unbeliever deserted her believer husband , divorced her innocent husband coz she had a illegal relationship. She married her boy friend.. what about her innocent husband ? ? Can he remarry ??
She was unbeliever, she left the believing husband, the Bible (not me or pastor or what's so ever ) says he is allowed to remarry. Gor me I am done for. My "believing" husband left me for a good looking woman. I stay single till I die... i guess
So are you saying a person such as my self can marry a divorced woman and not be living in an adulterous marriage ????? Or are you saying it would be adulterous if the woman is not Biblically divorced???
Thank you David Servant. These videos are helpful. The topic of divorce and remarriage has been greatly misunderstood in Christian circles for some time. The notion that a battered wife or neglected husband have no biblical right to be free from their evil spouses cannot be reconciled to other aspects of Scripture. The notion that if they do divorce, even for compelling reasons, then they are forever barred from marrying again has even less biblical merit. Where is the justice in that?
@@philipbuckley759 Your dead wrong on Scripture. If remarriage after divorce was as heinous as you think it is, it would have never been lawful even in the days of Moses.
@@philipbuckley759 There is no comprehensive list of things in Scripture that would be acceptable grounds for divorce. In the Old Testament Law, all that was necessary was for her to find no favor in his eyes because of "some indecency". If that were intended to be narrow and restrictive, Deuteronomy 24 would have been worded as such. I don't understand why you are so active here in promoting the Marriage Permanence Heresy. What do you get out of this? What makes you think this is of God? I certainly hope you don't think you are earning any favor with God by doing this.

NO! One can only be remarried if your first spouse has been taken away for judgment by the Lord. Then you have the blessing to go ahead, even then, they must be a baptized by water immersion, Christian.
Sir, woe unto you that laugh now, for ye shall mourn and weep. You said the new covenant is the same as Mosaic law??? Ummm WRONG. Follow Jesus, no Moses. I like how you stay in the verses before 1 Cor. 7:39 and twist those verses. Never getting to verse 39 or Roman 7:1-3. Your laughing and arrogance was hard to watch.
Jesus Walks Paul was speaking to virgins; he was not speaking to remarried adulterous unions. He addressed those who were bound or loose in verse 27. A bound virgin is one like Mary and Joseph, betrothed (engaged) but still referred to as wife or husband. A loose virgin would be like what Joseph intended to be when he put Mary away. It means you were formerly bound to a wife but have loosed yourself from her. See more Scriptures and reasoning in my comment above.
Gods word is not contradicting. It is true forever. Stop living in sin. Repent and turn from your sin. Yes , if you are divorced and remarried you are living in sin. It is the truth. Don't let false teachers lead you to hell. There is no forgiveness without repentance.
So my wife divorced me to marry a man she worked with and he divorced his wife with 3 children to marry her , it may be ok ! When I did not want this and BEGGED and PRAYED for this not to happen .
Read Romans 7:2-3, 1 Corinthians 7:39. You are bond to your first wife or husband until death. No remarriage after divorce. If you divorce and remarry , you are committing adultery as in the eyes of God you are married to your first wife or husband. If your husband or wife dies , you can remarry. If you divorce you can stay unmarried or get back to your first wife or husband. ( 1 corinthians 7:10-11) Watch this testimony of someone who divorced and remarried. ruclips.net/video/aEzEf2EXrEE/видео.html You can pray for her salvation. God can make her realise that she lives in sin and come back to you. I know is hard but be strong. She lives in sin now..don't do the same!
Thank you for taking the time to get this message out. It's a bondage that keeps people out of church and that's not an act of God but an act of the enemy.
The four gospels were old testament law.The reference to this in Romans 7 clearly states"I speak to those who know the law".We are not under old covenant so this is void.🙏🔥
Did Jesus not say he would not change one jot or tittle of the law? Isn't Jesus the law in the flesh? Did Jesus come to end or fulfill the law? What law did Jesus come to fulfill since the new testament wasn't even written when he was here? Should we also throw away the ten commandments since they are in the pentateuch? Was Moses inspired by God or is the old testament suspect? Would it not be Jesus himself that gave laws to Moses? Is God not immutable? Any exegesis that has the old and new testaments out of harmony is suspect.
Only death separates spouses. It is only upon death of the spouse where the surviving spouse can remarry another. A spouse who will marry another while the spouse is still alive is committing adultery. Honor, fulfill your marriage vow to our Almighty God. This is written in our Bible
No, My ex divorced me and God said you are not bound to me. Actually, I was at a hotel and the Holy SPirit woke me up one morning and said you've just been divorced. I called the courthouse and the judge had signed the papers the exact time I heard that. God told me to not go back to him because he was abusive and to watch and see. He ended up going back to his first wife, then he married and divorced two more times. I remained single. For decades. Some people do not honor their vows and divorce for no reason. We are not called to wait for them for decades. I waited for mine to change but he remarried, twice. I shook the dust off my feet.
@@sammislethe4698 LOL! The reason God would say you are not bound to him is because you weren’t EVER bound to him! Why? Well just as you stated, he was ALREADY MARRIED BEFORE YOU.. therefore you were never really married to him in the first place!
I question this interpreation. 1 Cor 25-28 is talking about never-been-married virgins, not divorcees. "Released from a wife" is not "divorce". I think that's referring to being released from a BETROTHAL. If you read in the ESV or NIV its crystal clear, and supported by the fact the the context is "virgins". Kind of a sloppy exposition David.
2. Just because you think nobody takes Jesus' words in a strict literal sense does not mean that they are correct - that is just like saying 'if everyone is doing it, it must be right'. We need to assess just what the Scriptures are saying, not what everyone thinks they are saying.
Had to break it off with my girlfriend when I understood scripture. This is not taught in the church. I knew God was warning me. She was divorced and has kids but loves the Lord but her husband is still alive and in their life. So hard to break it off but I know I did the right thing and am trusting the Lord.
Luk 16:18 “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
For those of you who are criticizing David of false teaching & justifying sin, just wondering if any of you "perfect" Christians have committed a sin recently. James 2:10 says that if you've offended in one point, you've offended in all.
exactly. but on the other hand your comment is not an argument or a rebuttal, you're trying to justify a sin with another sin and that's not right either. we should all just try as best we can but that doesn't mean we can't share opinions or educate
APOCALYPTO Thank you for your input.
Just a minute here. One person's sin cannot justify another person sinning as well. And James 2: 10 deals with an offense against the law of Moses. The issue is one requiring deep exploration, and to do that you have to hear both sides of the scriptural interpretation, then sort it out very carefully, with prayer and being humble before the Lord. Name calling is pride and ego showing it's ugly head.
But I would add that you have to be very careful Carol, not to make the same mistake they are making and it is so very easy to go in that direction. I KNOW, been there; done that and have the T-shirt.
@David Justice Here is the crux of the issue. A divorce for anything other than fornication, All sexual contact outside of marriage, is a sin, but it has effects on both people. In Jesus day a Roman father could have sex with anyone in his household not a relative, and could kill his spouse children or slaves without penalty. That was Roman law. To think Jesus was not familiar with this growing up in a conquered province is foolish. I would not go quite that far but if one souse can injure or kill the other through mental or physical intimidation, then you do not have love in that marriage, you have deception and being used. So in that case God would not allow the innocent to suffer and be used like that.
With people you have cases that fit within hard lines and those where you have no lines as well and have to use discernment. You write as if it is a simple case of getting a situation to fit in or out of a category. Listen again carefully to what is being said, and be blessed.
@David Justice you know this....because of???

12 There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him,

Scripturally speaking, there is no evidence to justify divorce and remarriage. Remarriage is only for widows/widowers. Even in Matthew 19:1-9, JESUS’ statement about marriage actually ties into the Old Covenant reason for divorce, unchastity. The only thing He added was that even in this instance, divorce was never suppose to be an option. Effectively, Jesus eliminated every reason for divorce. Even if adultery takes place, you still cannot divorce and remarry. The only clause given that allows remarriage is if your spouse dies. If your spouse dies, you are allowed to remarry. Outside of death, you are stuck. If you have remarried and your spouse is still living, you need to seriously consider what needs to happen next because you are currently in an adulterous relationship that can send you and your partner to Hell and eventually the Lake of Fire for eternity.
Please take time to research this topic deeply. Pray and fast and study. Don’t go based on man’s word or interpretation, but go based on the Word of GOD. Don’t study with bias, study to learn GOD’s truth. Your eternity is at stake. Do not take this lightly.
@
Fairclough Counseling and Consulting Services, wonderful! I would think, just based on your comment, that your counselling would be worth it. Solid!
Jesus was quite clear that divorce is an acceptable remedy for adultery. The reason that it is so is that the 2 became 1 flesh, which, by the act of adultery, is no longer one flesh.
@@shadowmist1246 Re-read the Scriptures. 'Twain' can NO LONGER be two when they become one. That's why in Malachi 2:14 God says He was there when their first marriage covenant was made and even though they had divorced their wives and married others the first wives were still their wives/companions.
Just Saying: I'm not an expert on hermeneutics but the profit Malachi seems to be talking to the Jews who were wrongly divorcing their Jewish wives and then wrongly marrying gentiles who were worshiping idols. Malachi 2:14 states that "the Lord is witness between you and the wife of your youth. You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant". Again in 2:15: "...do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth". I don't see anything here that contradicts the rest of the bible. Saying that it is wrong to break a marriage does not mean that a marriage cannot be broken. What was the penalty in the old testament for breaking your marriage vows?
Fairclough Counseling and Consulting Services he is living in adultery that’s what Jesus said if you are married and you leave your wife and marry a Nother and your first wife still alive you are living in adultery that’s Bible it’s like common sense if he dies by being with his second wife know that his first wife is still alive he will be going to hell
In that very first part in verse 28 ("But if you do marry, you have not sinned"), Paul is talking to men specifically who have never been married, in context with verses 26-27. Then in the middle of verse 28 after he says that, he shifts the topic to virgins (women who have never been married). I would choose other Scriptures for your specific argument - if you can. And if you can't, there you go. This is in response to 5:40.
You are right! I praise God for you.
I truly appreciate your desire to handle the word accurately. This has been important to me too, so my question here is genuine, and not adversarial. When I look at the passage, the portion you are addressing, it appears to me that the subject "you" being referred to in the phrase "if you marry, you have not sinned" is the same subject as in the sentence that came immediately before, "the one released from a wife." Then, in the next sentence, the subject changes to virgin women. Is there another way to read it?
Here's the passage from 1 Corinthians 7:
27 "The one bound to a wife should not seek divorce. The one released from a wife should not seek marriage. 28 But if you marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned."
Sorry David, you got this one wrong. The key point is who is Paul addressing in 1 Corinthians chapter 7:28? He's talking to virgins, specifically male virgins - folks who have never been married. He is not talking to married or divorced people. 1Cor 7:25, "Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord...." So when Paul gets to verse 28 (still addressing males virgins), he is telling the male virgins if they do marry they have not sinned, and he also addresses the female virgins..."But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned..."
Piru Lee do you really believe Paul was telling people who had never married that they were not sinning if they got married ? That makes no sense to have to tell people of both sexes they are not sinning or in this case specifically telling people who have not EVER married or had sex that they are not committing adultery if they marry. That's about as dumb as step one of directional use to a blow dryer being step 1 - plug the blow dryer into a power source. That should go without saying wouldn't you think ?

If your husband or wife dies , you can remarry.
If you divorce you can stay unmarried or get back to your first wife or husband. ( 1 corinthians 7:10-11)

In John 4 we learn that the woman at the well had been married 5 times and was living with a man who was not her husband. She told Jesus that she ( presently) had no husband. Jesus affirmed that to be the truth. My point is that in God's eyes she was not at that time married.
Brother David. "One eyed luster" is a very good explanation.Lord Jesus forgive me a sinner.I struggle daily.
David S is right about that. I had a thought along the same line: Is it "lust" to merely find a woman attractive? So many Christian schools of thought seem to think any kind of sexual attraction is a sin. Do these people think prudishness is a fruit of the Spirit or something?
I see lust as using a person to gratify some desire without any regard for their thoughts and feelings. There could be more to it than that though.
but and if thou marry is directed to the virgins not to the divorced. "thou" is the virgin that he started to address in the beginning of the passage. its ended with virgin female because he was addressing men first. he never once left the subject of virgins until the very end after he addressed them with nevertheless if you do marry you will have trouble in the flesh, but its your choice "I spare you"

as I read verse 27 ,28 it seems to be saying word for word, that if you have a wife , do not seek to end the marriage, if you dont have a wife do not seek to get married, but if you do get married it is not a sin, and you are free to get married. This passage doesnt say if you've been released you are free to get married , it just doesnt say that. It seems that he is speaking to those who have not ever been married or are married to stay as they are. If you can clarify this more as to your teachings when you say he was saying "but if you've been released you are free to remarry," please show us exactly how it states that in these passages your referring too.

I'm not a Greek scholar, but I believe the word used for "the unmarried" referred to o people who were unmarried for any reason. That is, it would include the formerly married as well as the never married. The context of 1 Corinthians 7:9 ("better to marry than burn with passion") would give me no reason to believe this would not apply to those who were divorced.

Verse 28 does NOT imply to “re-marry” it’s clearly saying that it is best NOT TO MARRY simply because time is short. How could you take verse 28 and use it to totally change a God given command by saying that Paul is referring to the “divorced?” Sir, you err greatly.
A lot of haters on this comment thread. 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 clearly allows remarriage after a biblical divorce.
if one has a Biblical divorce why would the 1 Corithians verses even be needed...
You are correct regarding remarriage. If the divorce was on just and fair grounds, then the freedom to remarry is clearly implied. I know of no support for any position where someone seeking a divorce on just grounds would be prevented from remarrying another.
Those on the Marriage Permanence side would claim the bond is unbreakable, but that is circular reasoning. "Marriage is permanent because marriage is permanent" is not a valid answer.
conjecture.....what about death...
Question: 1Cor. 7:25-28. Is this talking about virgins and widows? If so, how does this relate to remarriage due to adultery or abandonment?
Very good teacher who scratches itching ears
What if the Marriage was a fixed marriage and the husband left his wife and he is having a new partner leaving together.
What will happen to the original wife ? She will stay single ?for the rest of her life ?
from a Biblical point, of view....it seems to be yes.....
God does not talk about particular situations, His will applies to everyone. As long as your spouse lives, you can't remarry (Romans 7:2-3, 1 Corinthians 7:39)
@Bitrus Ibrahim Mingyi even if it is a fixed marriage, you were asked if you take that woman to be your wife until death and you said yes. Isn't it?

5. There is no indication that I Cor. 7:28 is talking about people who have been divorced - you are wresting the Scripture to say that. The whole context of those verses is telling people to be content with their present status, married or unmarried, and don't be too worried about changing it. This was because of the dangerous times they were living in. BUT, if they did want to marry, that was not going to be condemned.
You are either married or you are not. For that reason, I considered 1 Corinthians 7:28 to be just as applicable to the divorcees as it would to someone who was never married.

Maybe you shouldn't remarry a divorcee but what is utterly evil is to try and break up a SECOND Christian marriage when one partner has been divorced. I believe that whilst divorce is not in God's will, God still treats that second marriage as a valid Christian marriage and it is pastorally wise for us to do so. Note that divorce was absolutely rife in Jewish life in Jesus' day, the problem was that it was done on trivial not genuine grounds, and Jesus declared in Matthew that there WERE genuine grounds.
4. I Corinthians 7:24 is not talking about being called as married or unmarried. It is talking about servitude and circumcision. Remember, this chapter is not only about marriage - it is answering a number of questions the Corinthian people had.
You must start with verse 25 since this is where the writer changes the topic to virgins. Verse 25 - 28 the writer is addressing virgins. It is clear that these verses are speaking of virgins ONLY! It clearly states first thing in verse 27; Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Then the writer switches to those who are unmarried (virgins). He suggest they don't marry. Then beginning in verse 28 "But if you do marry you haven't committed sin", and then it goes on to say that if the (female referenced by she) marries, she has not sinned. So these scriptures are saying it is only virgins who marry that (couple both virgins) do not commit sin. I believe verses 10-11 speaks directly to the married and gives direct instructions concerning the ending of any marriage. It's a clear NO to remarriage. Then you will see in the next few verses the marriage of a believer to an unbeliever. The believer should still stay but if the unbeliever leaves anyway then the believer is not bound. The only other situation where you can remarry is if your spouse dies, and even then that person has to be in the Lord. 1 Corinthians chapter 7 covers all this and more.
You're right! God bless you for studying to show yourself approved.
What about Romans 7:1-4 that speaks of the marriage covenant which can only be terminated with death? Yes we should not ask anyone who is blissfully remarried to divorce. But for those who were divorced and single at the moment, we should encourage them not to marry (1 Corinth 7) . Would like to hear your thoughts on this. Thankyou
I don’t understand- u said Paul was saying ‘if u divorce then remain single’ but u remarried...?
This man is misleading and spreading unstudied information. He's wrong. Pray for him.
It seems to me the ones in agreement with what is being said it’s seems it’s because the passing this untruth is in a second marriage and have to justify the reason for divorcing and remarrying... The Bible is very clear, it’s so sad that people actually agree with man rather than Jesus!!!

Nothing controversial about this at all, just deception. God is not the author of confusion Satan is. Why is it that those in support of adultery always craftyly leave out 1 Corinthians 7: 39 which says : A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives, but if her husband dies she is at liberty to be married to whomever she wishes only in the Lord. These people always flash

Many times words have more than one meaning for example blue, the sky is blue, or I'm feeling blue today. Simple example, but the meaning changes drastically depending on context of the sentence. When determining exgesis it is very important to know all aspects surrounding the particular scripture. To not take into account who Jesus is speaking to could change the entire meaning. To not take into account old testament accounts means the ten commandments are no longer needed since we have the new testament. There is only one unforgivable sin and it is not a failed marriage. The society when Jesus spoke to the Pharisees was riddled with divorce and not once did he tell everyone to return to their first spouse. Why? The answer is simple, it would have violated Deuteronomy 24. To say Jesus came with a higher standard I have to ask higher than God? Can the word adultery have more meaning than a extamarital affair? How about the premature end of a covenant? How about a recipe with a wrong ingredient? Now read the scriptures and see if there is something you have missed. When the marriage vows are made does the couple suddenly become without sin? What should we do when we sin? Let's all go to the the one with the harshest exgesis. How about we take our sins to our savior and ask forgiveness.
Blessings
Tim's Honda Foreman 4 wheeling adventures Exactly!!
You're right on this. Some people who claim to "follow the Commands of Christ" are failing to exercise even basic due diligence in testing the spirits. On the face of it, the command for some couples to divorce - who otherwise would have no desire to - should receive maximum scrutiny.
1 Timothy 4 shows that not all false teachings are more permissive than is biblically warranted. Some false teachings are restrictive in unconscionable ways. Those who promote false teachings that are restrictive will often accuse their opponents of promoting what other people want to hear. But there actually is an audience for legalistic doctrine.

Exactly, very well stated.
so now that you have done this, how does it apply to this topic....
@@dh605x when is it a sin, to quit a sin....
why were the apostles shocked, at what they had heard.....
I don't think 1 Corinthians 7:28 is talking about being remarried. I think it's talking about being married at all because previously he was talking about how if you are not married don't seek to be married. He was advising that people who aren't married at this time of persecution, do not seek to be married. However, if they do get married, then they have not sinned.
I just don't think that the verse you're referencing is actually talking about divorce and remarriage.
And by the way, I have recently divorced my husband and hope that I have freedom to get remarried one day. I'm still struggling with that idea.
How do you get loosed from a wife then, if there wasn't a marriage with a wife previously then?
God I hope you are right because I told my wife 🙏🏾 I have to leave after 26 years, I am scared to be hopeful right now.
God is right; David is wrong.
I have a question? I have to watch what I say because my husband comes on here all the time and his friends are on here 24/7 and some of that runs on here he claims to be a Christian and his friends helped him cheat on me but he tries to preach ain't that considered is adultery. These people that runs this web site has me blocked off most of the site due to the situation because they talked me into leaving the whole family then he ended up coming back to us after she didn't want him. Is pretty much a mind game thing
pretty momma so sad
My husband left me for another woman, she died, I never remarried. Am I bound to him, since he put me away
In your case, he committed adultery. Therefore he should legally pay the death penalty according to the law of Moses and you would be free.
So in your case, you are free to do what you want. Since spiritually your bond is already dead. But Jesus said a women divorced should stay single. He said this teaching is not for everyone. But only those seeking to be used and blessed by God. (Mathew 19)
you're twisting the scripture sir you are not supposed to be advising here you are trying to justify sin which God hates and never allows.
Do hope you, Nora, are practicing what you preach -- making absolutely sure not to sin in any area of your life. James 2:10 says that he that offends in one point OFFENDS IN ALL.
Preacher Never does a person more clearly disclose his own character than when he discloses another's.
Nora I agree with you
sara abrehet James 2:10
Can you show us where it is written that divorce is a sin? (And please don't give us Malachi 2:16 - that says no such thing.)
This adultery when a person remarries after divorce denotes an ongoing sin of adultery as long as they remain together. We would never say that a prostitute could continue in her sin as a prostitute after she has repented from it. The second marriage after divorce is not a marriage it is adultery and must be forsaken.
@Millicient Aspinet I listened clearly to what he said, I also can quote from the Bible "Luke 16:17-18 "17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law. 18Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. " Also, keep in mind that John the Baptist challenged an unsaved couple, Herod and Herodias for being in an unlawful marriage. They chopped off his head for telling them this. The entire Bible backs up my claim that God made two people one in a marriage that does not end until death. It began back in the garden. We see no passages in the Bible that validate a second marriage after divorce, there are no examples of this, nor are there words that support it.
@@gwendolynwehage6336 So you claim the entire Bible backs up your claim? Have you considered Ex 21:10-11, Deut 21:11-14, Matt 5:32, 1 Cor 7:15, and Jer 3:8? Is King David now in the Fiery Notheaven because of his "adulterous" remarriage to Bathsheba? (1 Kings 11:34 implies nope.)
And if there is any one verse that would be a deathblow to the Marriage Permanence Doctrine, Matthew 22:30 could be it.
Sometimes it sickens me how you legalistic Marriage Permanence heretics can be so sure of yourselves while being dead wrong on so many critical matters.
@@dh605x David was guilty of murder when he married that she when he married her her husband was dead that was not adultery the adultery was before her husband was dead. The question of adultery no longer existed when he married her because he had ordered her husband did once her husband was dead that problem of adultery did not exist however he was guilty of adultery before her husband was dead and murder of her husband.
@@gwendolynwehage6336 So in other words, if you commit adultery and die in an "adulterous marriage", you are darned into the Fiery Notheaven for all eternity. But if you do that AND conspire to have her former husband killed, then all will be forgiven!
Do you have any idea how ridiculous and brain-dead all this sounds?
@@dh605x you know I said no such thing. This is so typical of those who want to fight and argue but are not interested in the truth. If a believer dies in an adulterous marriage they still go to heaven but will miss rewards for their disobedience. Here's the problem most divorced and remarriage people have never been born again which is the reason they feel no guilt about living in adultery. It is also the reason they are hostile when challenged to seek God about their sin.
Matthew 7:21-23
I Never Knew You
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
1 Corinthians 3:14-16 "…14If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward. 15If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames. 16Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?…"
I have never understood those who work hard to justify their sin, taking passages out of context to make them say what justifies their sin.
never justify sin no marriage after divorce or else remain single or reconcile. period.
this is EVIL and against the will of GOD remarriage is not a SIN read DEUT 24. btw GOD got devorced him self.
When one person commits adultery, the marriage is already broken; they are no longer married in God's eyes. Therefore, this is why a certificate of divorce is also recognized by God. When a person is no longer married to an adulterer or adulterous, why can they not get married again?
@@shadowmist1246 They cannot for the simple reason that Jesus said it is adultery. Read Luke 16:18, Mark 10:1-12, Romans 7:1-3, 1 Corinthians 7, Malachi 2:11-16, Matthew 19:1-9; 5:30-32. Also, He still considers your first spouse your companion and He ONLY recognises the covenant you first made (Malachi 2:14).
Jesus said it is not adultery if there adultery by the one you divorce. remarrying a spouse who has been married and divorced or in marriage similar relationships is dubious unless this is talking about disguised wife swapping, God says this is abomination in Deut somewhere. I am very hesitant about this subject, can't resolve it.

he starts out with a question, he divorced and remarried....but did not give a reason, I am assuming that he is in adultery....
He’s not speaking about himself. If you watch part 1 he’s still married and has been for decades.
Scripture says if one divorces EXCEPT FOR THE SIN OF FORNICATION....so if someone divorces because their spouse is fornicating, the spouse that divorces them is not sinning. Would they be guilty of adultery if they remarried? Or would it be as if they had not been married at all?
@Rosanna Miller, In Matthew 19:9 and 5:32 when Jesus says "except for fornication", He was referring to ENGAGED jewish couples. No where else does the word 'porneia' applies to anything but fornication when juxtaposed with 'moicheia', the Hebrew word for adultery. Jesus is saying in this verse, Matthew 19:9, that if one of the BETROTHED partners commits fornication (that is the betrothal is not yet a full marriage so there should be no consummation) then the other partner is free to be loosed from that betrothed partner and get married to someone else. The betrothed Jew was considered married even before the final marriage ceremony which could take place up to a year after the engagement. To get out of the engagement he had to publicly divorce his betrothed.
This verse does not apply to you and me. If one's spouse commits adultery against you, you are not free to remarry until he passes away.
Rosanna - If a person divorces their spouse because the spouse committed adultery, the adulterer has effectively ended the union that is now, no longer "one". The couple is no longer married in God's eyes therefore, it is ok for the person seeking a certificate of divorce to re-marry.

I have spent 100s of hours studying this topic in the Bible, even reading about 20 books on the subject on every side of the issue one could think of. I've even taught on the subject. It's refreshing to finally hear a video where the person actually has some Bible knowledge and knows how to rightly divide God's truths. A lot of confusion on this subject has been influenced by the Catholic Church and their original influences on the translations of the Bible. Also a lot of confusion has taken place because of taking passages out of their context. The Old Testament and Law of Moses certainly allowed divorce and remarriage. In fact the priests were not allowed to marry "prostitutes, divorced women or widows." This was just a prohibition for them, not for the general public.

The reasons are irrelevant "What God has joined together, let NOT man put asunder"
Sadly millions just do not like what Christ taught as it forbids them divorcing & remarrying in the lifetime of their spouse.
That is why Christ has well warned "Many are called, few are chosen".
13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it."

If you are currently married, but were previously divorced, you are not to divorce your current spouse in order to try and reconcile with your previous spouse.
Death is sin Romans 6:11. Wages of sin is death 6:23
Sin can only seperate what God brings together and created.
There is not one of us that has not sinned and it would be safe to say more than once. I have to question what sin does God not hate? When sin occurs in our lives does anyone think God watching over us says I never saw that before. Much effort is being spent this topic of divorce and remarriage and the scripture surrounding it. For those that believe divorce does not end a marriage and that you are still married to that spouse Deuteronomy would be a good place to start. When Jesus spoke to the pharisee's why didn't he say there is no such thing as divorce, or it is impossible, or how about put to death all divorced and remarried people since they are committing adultery and not just once but perpetually or tell all the remarried to return to their first spouse. Jesus spoke to the pharisee's about their misunderstanding of divorce and if he wanted all remarried to return to their first spouse for salvation sake I'm sure it would have been in the scripture. Believe as you want but there sure is much to do about what is not found in the scripture. My rock is Jesus and salvation is only possible through him, he is my savior and he has cast my sins as far as east is to the west. To those that are threatening hell if your exegesis is not followed please go back to the promises of Christ to those that believe.

I'm not here to explain my personal place in life only to urge people to seek professional qualified advice rather than taking advice from self appointed RUclips counselors. It is unfortunate that people will actually take the advice from the unqualified commenters on RUclips.

I have seen many of your comments and it leads me to believe you would benefit from live qualified counseling.
These are biblical questions that will get you thinking.
Did Jesus address Moses as being wrong or the pharisees convoluted view of divorce and a following marriage?
Where did Jesus tell those married again to divorce to repent (just a verse will be fine)?
Is God's perfect plan one man one woman for life?
What would be short of God's perfect plan of one man one woman for life ( be sure to get all of the sins)?
Do people fall short of God's perfect plan of one man one woman for life even before marriage?
Where did Jesus say I only let those married once in the kingdom?
Most important do you take the whole counsel of the bible before accepting any doctrine?
Rather than asking personal questions seek the whole counsel of the scriptures. My position in life will not help you and your walk with Christ in any way, just as your position will not help me.

Hopefully people will see that they are nothing but internet trolls and have nothing worthwhile to give. Even AJ the troll gave up.

What Sis Nell said is correct. Pray for her salvation or stay unmarried after separation
Damian does not have to stay single if his previous other half became one with someone else.
shadowmist I’m sorry but your spouse can not become one with anyone else. You can only be in covenant with one person at a time. So until either of them pass away they will only ever be in covenant with one another. The Lord says what he joins together let no one man asunder. No judge or court can separate a spiritual covenant with God.
Nell...re: your statement: "I’m sorry but your spouse can not become one with anyone else" - this cannot be true because adultery is the very act of becoming one with someone else. When you become one with a third person, you are no longer one with the original person. That's the very definition of what adultery truly is.
re: your statement: "You can only be in covenant with one person at a time." - that is true. You cannot be one with two others.
re: your statement: "So until either of them pass away they will only ever be in covenant with one another." - in Mathew 5 and 19, Jesus contradicts your statement by allowing divorce for reasons of broken covenant (adultery).
re: your statement: "The Lord says what he joins together let no one man asunder." - this seems to be a warning against the act of adultery or the government offering divorces for minuscule reasons.
re: your statement: "No judge or court can separate a spiritual covenant with God". - that's true. A marriage is not over until death or adultery has occurred regardless of the court's idea of giving divorces out like candy.
There is much division on this topic within Christianity today. Thank you for this teaching/explanation. You have clarified this issue for me.
You're right. There is much division on this subject, and it distresses me greatly. I've seen the leadership at church assemblies subject it's members to church disciplinary proceedings for getting a divorce even in compelling cases. People who don't go to church notice such disreputable behavior.
To subject a battered wife to church disciplinary proceedings for getting away from an abusive scoundrel of a husband is discreditable to the Faith. To declare that such a woman is violating God's standards is not only blasphemous but slanderous to God as well! I long for the day when the Church will say to abusive men and their enablers: "you have no place among us".

Luke 16.18 Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery
Mr.Servant, why did you take these verses in 1 Cor 7 (25Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. 26I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be. 27Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 28But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you..) OUT OF CONTEXT?
If Paul is talking to "virgins", which the verses say that he is, then how do these passages refer to a consummated one-flesh covenant marriages? Since when is a person "LOOSED" from a consummated marriage a virgin? If you look closely at verse 27 and 28, you see that Paul is not only addressing virgins, but he is also addressing those "loosed" from a marriage.If a VIRGIN is loosed from a marriage, it is most likely Paul was talking about being loosed from betrothal which is a one year period before the consummated marriage. Also, if it was about a consummated marriage, the only way a spouse is "loosed" is if his or her spouse has DIED, not divorced. You cannot place "divorce" in the place of "loosed" in this passage since that conflicts totally with 1 Cor 7:10,11, and 39. It is erroneous teaching to believe that Paul was using these passages about a divorce from a one-flesh consummated marriage. YOUR teaching contradicts Paul's teaching, because Paul never contradicted what the Lord Jesus Christ taught about marriage. (Mt 19:4-6; Mk 10:6-9) Marriage by definition if one man and one woman for life, no excuses, no exceptions!
///Are happily-married Christians who were divorced in their past guilty of adultery? ///
Now if "remarriages" are states of ADULTERY, and NOT a marriage, then wouldn't your interpretation be completely false? You want the listener to believe that Christians should not divorce from "remarriages" while at the same time you do not want them to divorce from a marriage. Do you really understand what you are saying? Also, your understanding of verse 20 as it applies to "remarriage",...should this apply to those who are in fornication? After all, if a person should remain as they are when they come to Christ, would not remaining in what God calls adultery be the same as remaining in fornication. Why get married if God calls you to remain as you are? How about homosexuality, or any other sin?
What you seem to not understand is that one-flesh covenant marriage can never end in divorce. Instead of telling people the truth, you are leading them to a false understanding of marriage. When you say there is no where in scripture where it tells Christians to divorce from their "remarriage", you must understand there is no where in scripture where a Christian "remarriage" after a divorce is ever called a "marriage"...it is always called adultery. You are a dangerous teacher and should be avoided.
If a couple divorces them remarried other people, divorces them and remarried each other again need to be divorced yet again to find favor with God?
My spouse who is a Christian has filed for divorce like it's not a big deal. So much for God's will right?
So these false teachers enter the world of apostates themselves. Notice what they have managed to pull off-a vernacular term meaning to deceive. They take a clean holy vessel- a spouse who never committed adultery-and have led that spouse directly into and adulterous union and have accomplished even a greater feat; they have called the unholy act of adultery, holy matrimony. It is as if they are saying to the spouse, Go, the church blesses your holy-adultery. The crime here is enlarged since now the spouse is trapped into the bonds of sin without the immediate opportunity to repent and be saved, repent and be forgiven. This is apostasy. The Pharisees asked, “Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away,” did they realize what they said. The word in Greek for divorcement is apostasion. The “writing of divorcement” can be referred to as a Writing of Apostasy. Salvation sola gratia assures sinners that by repentance and faith they are saved; “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” The false teacher’s doctrine slaps sola gratia in the face. By teaching holy-adultery they have created an act whereby the sinner is at liberty to willfully sin and live comfortably- especially in the church-in a state of mind whereby they believe they are righteous. This is an affront to the Gospel-excluding the sin of adulterous-remarriage from the act of repentance-now the sinner cannot be forgiven because they do not know they are living in sin.
May this never be! SUMMARY OF EARLY CHURCH DOCTRINE ON MARRIAGE, DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE 90 A.D. - 419 AD.
1. If a spouse persists in adulterous behavior and there is no other
alternative, the marriage relationship can be terminated by the
innocent party. (Hermas, Clement, Jerome, Augustine)
2. Spouses that are divorced for any reason must remain celibate and
single as long as both spouses live. Remarriage is expressly
prohibited. (Hermas, Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose,
Jerome, Augustine)
3. To indulge in lust with the mind is to be guilty of adultery of the
heart. (Justin Martyr)
4. Whoever marries a divorced person commits adultery. (Hermas,
Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine)
5. Whoever contracts a second marriage, whether a Christian or not,
while a former spouse lives is sinning against God. (Justin Martyr,
Ambrose)
6. God does not, and the Church must not, take into account human
law when it is in violation of God’s law. (Justin Martyr, Origen,
Ambrose)
7. God judges motives and intentions, private thought life and actions.
(Justin Martyr)
8. The marriage covenant between a man and a woman is
permanent, as long as both husband and wife are alive. (Clement,
Origen, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine)
9. It is a serious offense against God to take another person’s
spouse. (Basil)
10. The Church must charge all persons who are in possession of
another living person’s former husband or wife with adultery. (Basil)
11. Sexual relations are a marital right that is limited to one’s own
husband or wife. (Hermas, Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen, Basil,
Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine)
12. Sexual relations with one’s legitimate spouse protects from sexual
sin. (Ambrose)
13. Marriage and sexual relations with a remarried spouse while a
former spouse lives is the sin of adultery. (Hermas, Justin Martyr,
Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine)
14. It is a serious mistake to believe that it is simply one’s right to
divorce a spouse and take another. Even though human law may
permit such a thing, God strictly forbids it, and cannot, and will not
honor it. (Clement, Origen, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine)
15. Anyone who follows human customs and laws regarding
marriage, divorce and remarriage, instead of God’s Divine instructions
should stand in fearful awe of God Himself. (Clement, Ambrose)
16. All lawmakers, in and out of the Church are warned, to their peril,
to hear and obey the Word of the Lord in regard to His commands on
marriage and divorce. (Ambrose)
17. Christians are to stop making excuses and trying to find
justification for divorce and remarriage. There are no valid reasons
acceptable to God. (Jerome, Augustine)
18. A marriage is for life. No matter what a spouse turns out to be, or
how they may act, what they do or don’t do, or the sins they commit,
the covenant remains fully in effect. A remarriage while a former
spouse lives is not marriage at all, but sinful adultery. God does not
divide the one flesh relationship except by physical death. (Hermas,
Clement, Origen, Basil, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine)
19. Marriage is a lifelong covenant that will never be invalidated by
God while both parties live. (Hermas, Justin Martyr, Clement, Origen,
Basil, Ambrose, Augustine)

+Each clause you cited aligns perfectly with Scripture. So many are awaiting a fiery eternity and deceptively believe they are on their way to heaven.
Wow scary.......for my ex husband and re married his side chick.....
Dell Chica Scary indeed!!! check out the Scripture verses I posted in my comment above.
I was a baby christian who obviously wasn't Shepard correctly, when i got married to a man who had been married and divorced twice prior , we were even married thru a christian church , i had never been married ... He divorced me after 9 yrs. Some say , im allowed to remarry but only in the Lord , ive repented but have stayed single out of fear , Some say i was a living a lie , and was in Adultary .But does that really make it right for me to Marry/Remarry??? Or do i endure and stay single???? Help Me .... 💔
Nancy E Garcia, here is a comment I made below. Study the scriptures for yourself. It is not man's opinion that counts on the Day; it is the Word of God. Weeping endures for only a night, eternity is forever wherever you spend it:
What a snake-tongued presentation of the Word of God. The command not to divorce is for persons in a legitimate, holy matrimonial union. If such a one divorces and remarries while the other spouse remains alive, that command to not divorce does not apply since they should not be remarried in the first place, then if either remarries he/she is in adultery and adulterers do not go to heaven (1 Corinthians 6: 9-10).
Let me address the morbid interpretation of 1 Corinthians 7 that this false teacher gives. Note that he says that verse 28 is "addressed to the person who he's just been addressing". But who was Paul addressing. Do read a few verses above 28 and see exactly who Paul is addressing. In verses 25 to 28 Paul addresses VIRGINS. A (male) jewish, virgin could be bound or loose to a wife which explains verse 27. He could be bound awaiting the final marital ceremony or he could choose to be loosed from that engagement ('marriage') as Joseph wanted to be loosed from Mary when he discovered she was pregnant.
Do recall that Mary, while betrothed (engaged) to Joseph, was a virgin. She was not 'fully' married to Joseph and so they had not yet consummated the marriage. (Note that a jewish betrothal was treated as a marriage that was yet to be consummated). Note, however, in Matthew 1:18-20 that Mary and Joseph are referred to as 'wife and 'husband respectively.'' Armed with this knowledge you can see where the falsehood lies with this liar.
Also, in Matthew 19:9 when Jesus says "except for fornication", He was referring to engaged, jewish couples. No where else does the word 'porneia' applies to anything but fornication when juxtaposed with 'moicheia', the Hebrew word for adultery. Jesus is saying in this verse, Matthew 19:9, that if one of the betrothed partners commits fornication (that is the betrothal is not yet a full marriage so there should be no consummation) then the other partner is free to be loosed from that betrothed partner and get married to someone else. This verse does not apply to you and me. If one's spouse commits adultery against you, you are not free to remarry until he passes away.
That's the one consistent teaching throughout the Scriptures. See Malachi 2:14-16 (verse 14 is so striking in that it reminds us that God is a witness to your marriage and that even after divorce God still considers that first covenant binding and not the remarriage-covenant), Matthew 19:1-9, Matthew 5:31-32; Mark 10:1-12, 29-30; Luke 16:18; Romans 7:1-3; 1 Corinthians 7: esp verses 10, 11, 15, 27, 39. Note also the warning from Romans 1:27-32;
So someone can not divorce if those partner is abusive or simply if you do not like eachother. That is bizarre. Stay single till your ex die which will lead you to sin what a crazy concept
You can divorce if your partner is abusive but you cannot remarry
Lydia, just a clarification of terms. Divorce implies that it's ok to re-marry. Separation is what I think you mean't? Separation or legal separation would be the remedy for domestic abuse. But domestic abuse by itself does not break the oneness of the marriage so divorce would not be the remedy.
+Lion of Judah everyone commits adultery from time to time but hey we are all sinners? what a spiritual slob and deluded person you are! I Cor. 7:1,2 is distinct from the issue of virgins marrying Corinthian converts would have include those who had been married and divorced maybe several times. Jesus didn't rescind the mosaic allowance just warned using it casually wasn't practicing purity. abuse incliuding some really evil mental cruelty would be similar to an unbeliever driving you out or leaving you. both this and death of the spouse leaves you "not bound" "not under bondage." MARRIAGE WAS DEFINED BY ROMAN LAW AS LIVING TOGETHER A YEAR AND A DAY and sex makes the two one flesh. fornication is serial adultery. the Roman laws on marriage changed over centuries, but Paul didn't address this so if you have a cohabitaing companionate marriage without legality and you dump this person for no good reason and take up with another or legally marry another you are committing adultery also. only virgins or those whose prior sex partners have willingly had sex with others or are dead can marry without some degree of adultery being involved. Jesus said not all could receive this teaching when the apostles said it is better never to marry if you can't get out of it. the man who had found his bride was not a virgin (and he hadn't been the one who had been with her before the wedding) had been defrauded into the marriage since he wouldn't have had her if he knew. you could argue some marriages could be ended on the basis of fraud.
@@shadowmist1246 Yes separation or divorce whichever we choose. But none of these gives the right to remarry
Lydia: A person may be free to marry because they have never been married or may be free to marry because they are no longer married to their adulterous spouse. Marriage is the union of 2 becoming 1. Adultery is the actual severing of this union in God's eyes and hence, the only reason why Jesus gives for a state issued divorce.
No you cannot remarry after a divorce and scripture is very clear on this. The word must be taken struck and literal. Jesus will never divorce himself from his church. That is why Paul compared our relationship with Jesus to the marriage Covenant and that is why a husbands sacrifice and love for his wife is compared to Jesus’s love and sacrifice for us.
Jesus said we may separate for a time to meditate ( seek help ) however get back together and keep the marriage sacred. God does not contradict himself anywhere in scripture.
Mr Servant you just quoted the Bible - there is no divorce in the new covenant.
You can't marry again if your former wife or husband is alive. Only death separates a marriage
A Preacher’s Repentance From Adulterous Remarriage - The Testimony of J. M. Humphrey
Good word!!
7. Do not use the Old Testament to formulate doctrine. You said that divorced woman were allowed to get remarried under the old covenant, and then you say that it is the same under the new covenant because Paul said, "if they marry, they have not sinned". As I pointed out in number 5 below, Paul was not talking here about divorced persons. It is wrong to say that the new covenant is the same as the old in this topic, because Jesus refuted that in Matthew 19:8.
"Do not use the Old Testament to formulate doctrine"
Why not? See 2 Timothy 3:16. The Old Testament is valid Scripture just as the New Testament is.
i knew a lady who is unbeliever deserted her believer husband , divorced her innocent husband coz she had a illegal relationship. She married her boy friend.. what about her innocent husband ? ?
Can he remarry ??
Domathoti Bhaktha yes he can. We are under grace.
She was unbeliever, she left the believing husband, the Bible (not me or pastor or what's so ever ) says he is allowed to remarry. Gor me I am done for. My "believing" husband left me for a good looking woman. I stay single till I die... i guess
YES.
So are you saying a person such as my self can marry a divorced woman and not be living in an adulterous marriage ????? Or are you saying it would be adulterous if the woman is not Biblically divorced???
listen to gino jennings
Thank you David Servant. These videos are helpful. The topic of divorce and remarriage has been greatly misunderstood in Christian circles for some time. The notion that a battered wife or neglected husband have no biblical right to be free from their evil spouses cannot be reconciled to other aspects of Scripture.
The notion that if they do divorce, even for compelling reasons, then they are forever barred from marrying again has even less biblical merit. Where is the justice in that?
it is in the text....no provision for remarriage....one can separate, but divorce and remarry....er....no....
@@philipbuckley759 Your dead wrong on Scripture. If remarriage after divorce was as heinous as you think it is, it would have never been lawful even in the days of Moses.
@@dh605x your vow....for better, or worse.....bad marriages are not a Bible reason, for divorce and remarriage...
@@philipbuckley759 There is no comprehensive list of things in Scripture that would be acceptable grounds for divorce. In the Old Testament Law, all that was necessary was for her to find no favor in his eyes because of "some indecency". If that were intended to be narrow and restrictive, Deuteronomy 24 would have been worded as such.
I don't understand why you are so active here in promoting the Marriage Permanence Heresy. What do you get out of this? What makes you think this is of God? I certainly hope you don't think you are earning any favor with God by doing this.
This message is Insightful and Uplifting. Needed. Thank you Lord, AMEN.
To God Be The Glory!
@Kandi Cornell The false teachings of the false teachers will always be more popular than the teachings of Christ. This message may be positive and encouraging, but it is not truthful. This message may be insightful and uplifting, but it is not biblical. Jesus is willing to forgive David Servant and his followers all of their sins, but He will not do so in a manner that is contrary to His Word... Jesus will not forgive sin that is not first forsaken. Fear God, repent and live!

@@dh605x The Word of God does not need to be defended... only spoken - and all who reject God's truth will burn forevermore in hell and the Lake of Fire.

NO!
One can only be remarried if your first spouse has been taken away for judgment by the Lord. Then you have the blessing to go ahead, even then, they must be a baptized by water immersion, Christian.
Sir, woe unto you that laugh now, for ye shall mourn and weep. You said the new covenant is the same as Mosaic law??? Ummm WRONG. Follow Jesus, no Moses. I like how you stay in the verses before 1 Cor. 7:39 and twist those verses. Never getting to verse 39 or Roman 7:1-3. Your laughing and arrogance was hard to watch.
+Jesus Walks awesome reply you got there. Totally agree! I recommend you start making videos to clarify this crazy nonsense. Smh. False prophet!!!
Jesus Walks Paul was speaking to virgins; he was not speaking to remarried adulterous unions. He addressed those who were bound or loose in verse 27. A bound virgin is one like Mary and Joseph, betrothed (engaged) but still referred to as wife or husband. A loose virgin would be like what Joseph intended to be when he put Mary away. It means you were formerly bound to a wife but have loosed yourself from her. See more Scriptures and reasoning in my comment above.
Jesus Walks You're right. I think I miss-read you. Just re-read and we're on the same page with Christ.
Gods word is not contradicting. It is true forever. Stop living in sin. Repent and turn from your sin. Yes , if you are divorced and remarried you are living in sin. It is the truth. Don't let false teachers lead you to hell. There is no forgiveness without repentance.
THis is so not true. Read David Instone Brewer's book on it.
Excatly💯👍
What if your wife has an abortion of your child after you told her not to?
this is not a Biblical reason, for divorce and remarriage....
So my wife divorced me to marry a man she worked with and he divorced his wife with 3 children to marry her , it may be ok ! When I did not want this and BEGGED and PRAYED for this not to happen .
Read Romans 7:2-3, 1 Corinthians 7:39. You are bond to your first wife or husband until death. No remarriage after divorce. If you divorce and remarry , you are committing adultery as in the eyes of God you are married to your first wife or husband.
If your husband or wife dies , you can remarry.
If you divorce you can stay unmarried or get back to your first wife or husband. ( 1 corinthians 7:10-11)
Watch this testimony of someone who divorced and remarried.

You can pray for her salvation. God can make her realise that she lives in sin and come back to you. I know is hard but be strong. She lives in sin now..don't do the same!
THis is sin on their parts. But people sin. You begged and prayed but God can't change wills. Move on.
You have to go to his Link. I learning n I don't want it sugar coated. Something to think bout. Go read it.
Thank you for your videos :)
Thank you for taking the time to get this message out. It's a bondage that keeps people out of church and that's not an act of God but an act of the enemy.
What about romans 7:1-3?
his teaching is false
The four gospels were old testament law.The reference to this in Romans 7 clearly states"I speak to those who know the law".We are not under old covenant so this is void.🙏🔥
Stephen Fuller Please listen to Dr. Peter RUCKMAN expound on divorce and remarriage. He would agree!
Did Jesus not say he would not change one jot or tittle of the law? Isn't Jesus the law in the flesh? Did Jesus come to end or fulfill the law? What law did Jesus come to fulfill since the new testament wasn't even written when he was here? Should we also throw away the ten commandments since they are in the pentateuch? Was Moses inspired by God or is the old testament suspect? Would it not be Jesus himself that gave laws to Moses? Is God not immutable? Any exegesis that has the old and new testaments out of harmony is suspect.
Is Servant your given last name by Jesus or is it your earthly last name?
Only death separates spouses. It is only upon death of the spouse where the surviving spouse can remarry another. A spouse who will marry another while the spouse is still alive is committing adultery. Honor, fulfill your marriage vow to our Almighty God. This is written in our Bible
No, My ex divorced me and God said you are not bound to me. Actually, I was at a hotel and the Holy SPirit woke me up one morning and said you've just been divorced. I called the courthouse and the judge had signed the papers the exact time I heard that. God told me to not go back to him because he was abusive and to watch and see. He ended up going back to his first wife, then he married and divorced two more times. I remained single. For decades. Some people do not honor their vows and divorce for no reason. We are not called to wait for them for decades. I waited for mine to change but he remarried, twice. I shook the dust off my feet.
@@sammislethe4698 LOL! The reason God would say you are not bound to him is because you weren’t EVER bound to him! Why? Well just as you stated, he was ALREADY MARRIED BEFORE YOU.. therefore you were never really married to him in the first place!
@@RyanREAX excatly💯👍
@@RyanREAX if you marry, you are married...
@@philipbuckley759 so if you marry 82 girls you are married to all of them? No...
Yes, you are living in adultery, if your first spouse is alive.
Have you committed Adultery?
Could we then ignore what Jesus said? Why do you not explain what Paul said along side what Jesus taught? That will be helpful
I question this interpreation. 1 Cor 25-28 is talking about never-been-married virgins, not divorcees. "Released from a wife" is not "divorce". I think that's referring to being released from a BETROTHAL. If you read in the ESV or NIV its crystal clear, and supported by the fact the the context is "virgins". Kind of a sloppy exposition David.
2. Just because you think nobody takes Jesus' words in a strict literal sense does not mean that they are correct - that is just like saying 'if everyone is doing it, it must be right'. We need to assess just what the Scriptures are saying, not what everyone thinks they are saying.
