One vital component that wasn’t mentioned was: pray about it. Take your situation to God. Ask Him. Pray asking for wisdom from above. Yes counsel is good and this is a great teaching to help us…ultimately God is the Judge and that’s Whom we need to be right with. God will guide and direct us as to what to do. I say just add that into our lives. Taking it to God in prayer for answers you can trust will ensure we will be right with God. 🙏
Amen to that
This!!!!
Well said, I know this is true.
Amen and yes… this is the Most helpful
Some have erroneously concluded that the only reason I could come to the conclusions of this teaching was that I must have been divorced and now re-married. For the record. Both my wife Julie and I have only been married once, that being to each other. Neither of us have been married before or divorced. Our marital status had no influence on this teaching.
Messianic Torah Observant Israel Amen
Why does the Bible say we must stay unmarried in. COrinthians 7? Please I really need the help.
I prayed this morning and cried out to the lord. I was 2X divorced. Abandoned on both. Not a believer also. I was clean from drugs 2 years ago with my boyfriend and we were married in the LORD shortly after. I have been called an adulterer and i can’t understand it ... I praise GOD that he led me to this video. I am crying. HIS GRACE IS ENOUGH and my husband and I are not in sin. Thank you YESHUA and thank you brother for delivering this message , I feel HE led me here so that I can walk in peace. So grateful.
Sorry forgive me did not proofread the text before I sent it and I meant very inspirational and I meant death my dad God bless you my brothers we need to get this right lotta people are hurting in this matter and we want to do what's right in Gods eyes not a mans eyes because man's opiniomeans nothing only God's opinion means everything
What was the word used when YaHVeH gave Israel a letter of divorce? What did they do?
We have been married to each other for over 66 years . AMEN
You should be teaching.
Fred Seaver And... I’d like her opinion on this.
This teaching video needs to go viral. So many people are hurting because of the errant teaching that has been spewed forth from so many would be teachers who don't know what they are talking about. I hope everyone who watches this sends it to everyone they know. Thanks Rabbi Steve.
Amen exactly I agree I have seen some crazy teaching an condemning people glad I came across this video God bless
As a victim of divorce I am getting clearer on this subject.tjank you
You're exactly right!!!
People abuse scripture in this area for personal gain and security.
Share it!
This gentle teaching is the most Scripturally reasoned, compassionate, most understanding of "real" life that I think I've ever heard. Thank you, Rav Berkson.
+Jenna Caruthers And after studying this out again, I would point out that the Malachi 2:16 reference also is a putting away, not the sefer k'ritut:/"divorce." (H7971 shalach, send away) so it's no wonder why YHVH wouldn't like that option.
@@jenna2431 then comes the judgment for all that disobey the scriptures.
@@ajlouviere202 unfortunately yes😥😥😥
There must be a vested interest to twist that verse to mean divorce. Perhaps theywere not devnely inspired.. Putting away and the giving a legal divorce paper are clearly two different things..
Really good to have light on this issues that has caused so many people to suffer because of wrong teaching. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I recently heard that this video is your top viewed video. I can tell you why: I share it almost daily in Facebook groups where people condemn others for getting divorced. People need to know the truth, and this video saved my life.
Wonderful. Glad it was helpful.
Being divorced is forgivable. Divorce+remarriage while the covenant spouse is living is adultery - Luk 16:18, Matt 5 and 19, and Mark 10.
I gave this teaching to a pastor of a SDA who had been divorced 20+ years ago and remarried. This issue was eating the pastor of SDA alive...it is no longer eating him alive so thank you.
How is he today?
I share this from time to time because so many regurgitate church traditions and tell others that hell awaits them if they divorce..bevause "God hates divorce."🤦
I appreciate the depth, compassion, and sincerity that Rabbi Steve takes here.
The leaven of the pharisees has leaked into the church so much that so many are condemed to live hell on earth with an abusive or toxic relationship because some well meaning Christian watched Voddie Baucham or Paul Washer and convinced them that divorce comes with a penalty of eternal damnation.
I was the serial adulterer, with young girls half my age, destroying my family, my wife heard no divorce from God (not sure audiblyor something). I challenge her in the understanding of the Bible, with what I know . Long story short, I was dealt with by God, gently...but this because I understand he is HOLY grew in fear but in relief (joy) that I can trust the Bible, the old and the new. The contradictions fell away. When I got back to the family, my son was violent to me, my daughter who loved me so much do not trust me(consider the horror that I did to them), it was not because of the divorce scriptures. I thought it is okay to divorce as there could be conditions, for example, my immorality. But I decided to check it up myself and was shocked by the unambiguous words of the LORD. Nothing about who is teaching me. Furthermore, read Paul letter to the corinthians. Read I carefully and plainly, the same as Jesus teachings The hardness of heart is not to obey (believe in) Jesus and to overcome. Believe as in the Exodus narrative is to believe what Jesus sayEnter your rest by trusting the LORD or face the consequences. Importantly read yourself and do not trust any teacher but to check it yourself. And bring it to God. See if he answers you. I mean truly answer you.
@Logic807 if Yeshua(Jesus) would have contradicted the torah then he would have been a false prophet. The torah does not call divorce a sin.
Sin according to 1 John 3:4 is "the transgression of the law."
People can have their own experiences on either side of the subject, for or against divorce. But when it comes down to it, it doesn't matter your feelings on the subject. What God's word does not call sin, we cannot call sin. No matter how strongly we feel.
People will swear up and down that drinking alcohol is a sin, when the God's word never said such a thing. The torah and the new testament speak against being a drunkard, but not against consuming alcohol in general. That is just another example of people's own emotions and perspective becoming an authority over God's word. We need to be very careful about that. It's a very serious sin in itself to add or take away from the word of God. On this topic, I highly suggest listening to rabbi Steve go through the scriptures.
It's wonderful that some people are able to work through a toxic marriage and remain. I would caution telling everyone else they are to do the same. That's a decision between you, God, and your spouse.
Meddling in such tender affairs of others when you have no stake in it, is arrogant, and obtuse. Too many churches have put many through living hell by heaping guilt and condemnation on others for considering this option.
Again, I highly recommend LISTENING to rabbi Steve and meditating on this. If you only respond to the title of the video, and insist with your own claims, you show that you are not to be taken seriously, and are simply seeking attention.
Remember one thing for certain, God, the holy spirit WILL NOT contradict the scriptures. That means the full picture given through both the torah and prophets, as well as the new testament. Neither will the holy spirit contradict context from a historical, grammatical, and cultural perspective.
This has set me free. Matthew Nolan teach the same thing. Praise Yah. 👏🏾 🙏🏽
This video set me free in the first five mins, my Husband was sent to me less than a month later
Hallelujah!
Thank you so much this cleared up condemnation that my husband and I have been under for the past 4 years when we came into Torah. Shalom
What a blessing this has been to me. I cannot thank you enough. This has truly set me free from years of wrong teaching. Thank you for being a clear and timely answer to my prayers!
Brenda Brito it was an answered prayer for me as well 😭
@@mikasaackerman8232 If this teaching is TRUTH, then where is it WRITTEN in the Holy Scriptures (The Holy Bible) that a Hebrew/Israelite/Jewish Man Put Away his Hebrew/Israelite/Jewish Wife without giving her a Bill Of Divorcement?
Our Heavenly Father is not the Author of confusion that it is not WRITTEN in the Scriptures that we can show evidence of the TRUTH. Amen.
Wow. I’m a newly born-again Christian and I have been praying for guidance on this issue. At the very beginning of the video I was like “wait, that’s not correct” and went to respond but something spoke to me and said “Hear him out and if you feel the same at the end...then respond.” And I’m so glad I listened because this video really opened my eyes to so many things. Thank you for making and sharing this.
@@JacquelineServantess Facts Matthew 19:10-12 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mothers womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heavens sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Regarding Steve Berkson w/ MTOI
@1:50 he basically says "keep out of it" (with the goal of the leadership dealing with it)
Leviticus 19:17 "You shall not hate your brother in your heart. 👉You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him."👈 but it should be done in accordance with Matthew 18:15-19
@8:00+ he says you can divorce and get remarried
@9:30+ he makes marriage nothing more than a contract (where as it is a covenant, which is far more binding)
@13:00 he iterates remarriage (allegedly) allowed
@17:10 "and then it's legal and ok"
@25:20 he differentiates the lack of certificate. While there is a valid point of discussion here, it boils down to semantics, and he (later) uses this to bolster his point that with a certificate, it is somehow ok to divorce and remarry, thus nullifying the very words Yahusha (and Shual) say based on Genesis 2:24.
@36:00 he misses 1 Corinthians 7:13-16
@39:39 No, it doesn't say he can't, but neither does it say he/she can. It says "*when you do*, *then* you shall not...." Nothing says she is free to marry again at all.
@41:45 "there needs to be erva or porneo" He is connecting erva (the Hebrew word) with porneo (the Greek word). However, the Hebrew word for adultery is H5003 naap. Erva H6172 is uncleanness. Recall adultery results in *death* (and he correctly noted this at the start).
If adultery is fornication, then the distinction Yahusha made is irrelevant, and there is no point in marriage, as adultery can trigger divorce, and divorce results in adultery.
@43:28 "only porneo or erva are reason for divorce" Again, he has synonomized fornication (or uncleanness) and adultery and made both reasons to divorce, thus nullifying the words of Yahusha.
I am sitting here taking notes, trying for word for word. I want to learn this so I can share with people. This is so good, I just prayed this morning for clarity in this. After you explained it is really not that hard, but it is with 50 years of hearing other things preached about it. God bless, hoping to see you on Amazon with a published book about this.
Steve Berkson is quickly becoming my favorite messianic Rabbi. Just a good and blessed mix of grace and Truth. Many blessing to you, your family and your congregation
Becoming mine too
Amein!!! His teachings are such a blessing!!!
aldacisa Such kind words!😊
This is the best teaching I have ever heard on this subject, and I've heard a lot of them. This is also a great word study of both Greek and Hebrew words.
Exactly why Jesus to told the woman at the well that she had been married 5 times and that she currently wasn’t married to the man she was living with. He would have said you have been with 6 men but are still married to the first. People are insane in some of their teachings
Great point!!
How is reeking havoc to loving tell our loved ones the truth? My understanding is if we do not their blood is on us.
Question is was she married to the current guy or ... was she just living with him? Context is missing. And without understanding cultural and historical context... there is nothing but face value. Which can be missleading.
They could also all have died... Just saying.
1. Yahusha didn’t tell the woman to do anything, what He did do was let her know HE knew her sin.
2. Yahusha did not even indicate if this man OR HER was free to marry again--only that the man she was with was NOT HER husband.
3. We don’t have enough information as to whether they were “real” husbands or not by what He says. She could have been married all of them according to her pagan customs or she could have “had” 5 husbands which were not hers to have.
4. Could all those husbands be dead? Giving her an allowance to remarry?
This passage is not thorough enough to try and rest in--for either side. What we do have clear teaching on is that Yahusha Himself said that to enter into a marriage AFTER a divorce is to commit adultery. Does committing adultery make a person the spouse of the other person? It doesn’t appear to be evident anywhere in scripture to be the case.
Irenaeus (c. 180 A.D.): “That erring Samaritan woman did not remain with one husband. Rather, she committed fornication by many marriages.” (ANF, Vol. 1, p. 445)
Justin Martyr (c. 160 A.D.): “Concerning chastity, He Yahusha uttered such sentiments as these [he quotes Matt 5:28, 29, 32; 19:12]. So that all who, by human law, are twice married, are in the eye of our Master sinners, and those who look upon a woman to lust after her. For not only he who in act commits adultery is rejected by Him, but also he who desires to commit adultery…” (ANF, Vol. 1, p. 167)
Athenagoras (c. 175 A.D.): “…a person should either remain as he was born [i.e. a virgin], or be content with one marriage; for a second marriage is only a specious adultery. ‘For whosoever puts away his wife,’ says He, ‘and marries another, commits adultery….These adulterers and pederasts defame the eunuchs [i.e. virgins] and the once-married.” (ANF, Vol. 2, p. 146-147)
...
Incredibly anointed teaching. Sadly even with the breakdown of scripture those who have religious spirits will still not be able to receive this.
This is exactly why we must be taught by the Holy Spirit. HE cannot mislead Himself.
thank you so much...I am new to observing Torah..you have no idea how much relief this teaching has given me that I don't have to leave a good marriage of 34 years because I was divorced....Yahwey bless you
simosc2 s 😀
Ohh yes me too living in fears because every preacher was like you can't get married after divorcing
A good man who is with me for almost 5 years with 3 kids thinking how to let my marriage down
Wow; what an excellent teaching and study.
This has truly freed my mind from years of doubt and confusion/depression concerning the translation errors and wrong teaching and twisting of the words of Messiah Yeshua, thank you for this blessed teaching; Shalom!
I Must comment because i was so terrified about the divorce situation because i am divorced and i have been for many years. And when i married it wasn't right and not only that i was told through my mother too married. But when the abuse came in couldn't take it any more but through all of this i've learned my lesson and trust me i been waiting on the lord and i am still waiting because i refuse to make the same mistake twice and i know what to do this second time around. JUST KEEP ME IN PRAYER GOD BLESS YOU FOR THE TRUTH BECAUSE I WAS SO SCARED THAT IF I REMARRY AGAIN THAT GOD WOULD SEND ME TOO HELL BEING TAUGHT THE WRONG WAY AND THE THINGS PEOPLE SAY NOT REALLY UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE THEMSELVES.
This is by far the best teaching on divorce I have ever seen. Good job.
😆
Thank you for this! I was married 21 years with 14 yrs of abuse. I felt unloved n committed adultery, twice. Ended in divorce. I got remarried but was a Satanist by then. Pure lust with a guy 15 yrs younger then me. He cheated but I took him back, as I came back to God. Later I found Torah. My Faith grew and my husband cheated again. He eventually left me for her, who is 18 yrs younger then he is. I divorced him on adultery 2.5 yrs ago. I have not been with another man since. I pray if it's Fathers will, he will bring me a Torah man in my life. Not easy as there are no messianic churches nr me.
Thank you for your testimony Michelle, and Praise the Father the teaching was a blessing to you. Happy to provide additional support through individual counsel if needed.
Michelle Torok I pray that the Lord will heal the wounds of your heart & that He will bring you a wonderful, godly, faithful husband.
This is the best teaching I have seen on this topic. My unbelieving wife left me and filed for divorce. After 15 years God blessed me with peace in my house. ;)
I agree.
Don’t sign it...Yeshua is the ultimate covenant keeper and a covenant was made between you and her...yes you can find justification in scriptures for she abandoned you and that’s covered!..but what if you don’t agree to divorce and live as an example of love by observing Torah after faith in Yeshua so that she can see herself how your work in Torah is because of your faith in love in Yeshua cause you too love her with that strength but not first!..
That’s what I have chosen to do for mine left after now 19 years for she is still my spouse but not acting like my wife but I keep praying for her to see and it shall be Abbas will not mine!..
I pray for you!..I understand first hand your struggles...
Shalom!..
If that “piece“means you got a second wife, that is adultery.
@@Jesusbride515did you not hear him say we are not to meddle
@@Jesusbride515 no it’s not show the scripture to back that up 🔝 please no opinions allowed here only holy scriptures. Adultery is not taking a second wife adultery is taking a married woman king David was not an adulterer for having more than one wife he was an adulterer for taking uriah the hittites wife
Thank you for this teaching. I have never heard this perspective of the scriptures before. It answered my personal Biblical questions regarding divorce.
Thank you again.
I have been in numerous debates trying to get people to understand what the teacher is saying in this video. I watched too many videos on youtube to count them and I studied many teachings from many pastors and teachers on this topic. What I find is too many teachings lack grace, mercy, compassion, and understanding of the original texts. This is by far the best teaching on the topic. I could have saved a lot of time if I had seen this first.
johnspartan98 I agree, John. Likewise, wish I'd seen this video! It would have spared my husband & me the agony of mistakenly thinking we'd have to dissolve our marriage. We are very happily married but were having to defend our relationship because it's a remarriage.
America needs to hear this .... brought tears.....I know so many have a "story"...but I am thankful for the TRUTH COMING FORTH... thankful for His Mercy and Grace...

Sister hi...it's me. Going to watch this now. I just stumbled across your comment when reading these. If you need a friend do email me. It's in my description box. Sounds like your going through some stuff...me too.
It is about time that brothers are stepping forward and meeting the challenges of that damnable traditional teachings on marriage, divorce and remarriage with the truth! Many debates going on to break the spell of the traditional lie. I am proud of this brother for taking the time to make this video and his studies on this subject are very indepth and his proof, very strong. Keep going brother. There are many to reach yet; many brethren to save from the old lie to this truth, well said. Thanks!
+Karen Mercier Thank you for your encouraging words :)
Karen Mercier Well stated!
I am kind of upset and I have to forgive myself for waiting this late to watch this video because it kept popping up on my search feed on RUclips. Full of Truth full of grace full of compassion, I know there's more to say but those are the best words I can come up with.
This is how you preach the word!!! Using the original text
Praise Abba Yahweh... Let Yahshua shine In our lives
This is one of the best teaching on marriage. It should go viral! Thank you for standing for truth
Lissette Rivera I agree!
Amazing teaching. I have been confused about teachings I have heard regarding this matter but this video made it clear for me.
Someone put a LINK on on an FB page where I found this today. ENJOYED it thoroughly. I am divorced 6 years ago. Was separated hoping for restoration for 3 years prior to the divorce. GREAT teaching and confirms my heart convictions in daddy GOD and HIS life giving immutable truths..... GOOD doctrine here brother!
I pray got your restoration and reconciliation in Jesus name.
Thank you for this! My husband cheated on me and fell in lust with a younger woman. This past November he filed for divorce. We had been married for 29 years. I didn't want the divorce even though he cheated on me and he had done other things I don't want to go into. Anyway, I was told and heard on other youtube channels that God will not allow me to be remarried and I was to be alone for the rest of my life. I have been so sad and not understanding why a God of love would want that for me? I don't think what those so-called preachers are saying is right or nice! They had me believing that I was going to hell if I ever get married again and my only choice was to reconcile with my ex-husband! I'm in no hurry to meet a new man. But I don't want to be alone and if the Lord has someone for me I will be so happy! My divorce was final on January 2. I feel like I have a whole new lease on life now! Thank you! ❤️😊🕊✌️🏻
see how screwed up the gentile church is! The very thing Torah thing says not to do - get back with the person you divorced - is what they tell you to do! ugh!
🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️
Are you remarried now?
Not only are these Gentile Christian churches wrong in their understanding of the scriptures but the "reconciliation" method can only be attempted before ending the contract. Too many forcing couples to reconcile when it is not going to work. They often actually encourage separating, instead of a written legal divorce!

I wish more people would teach like this! We have all been taught and learned so many lies concerning our creator that it’s no wonder people are or have become atheists. For so long since way back before any of us were alive they have taught so much destruction and lies and made our creator into this type of tyrant “god” who is completely scary! Even the word “fear” concerning him makes people afraid. Fear means respect, reverence, etc… Not to be scared to death. And all this you better not question god or your going to hell is ridiculous! It’s not that your questioning him you are asking to understand what he means in things and it’s okay to contemplate and ask him questions etc. Now knowing the truth I do know it makes me super upset and angry at how much the “evil” has tried to twist him into something he isn’t and what he did not say or mean. It has destroyed more people than any of us could count! So many are sick physically mentally and spiritually on a severe level because of this. And it’s very sad. But I am so thankful that I live in the time when knowledge is being increased!!! And the truth is being shown and told! Our father is amazing and the entire story is absolutely beautiful and mind blowing!!! 😊
What a blessing...am so blessed i surely needed to hear this. God bless you for allowing Him to use you to send this word out to those who needed it.
Thats how i understood it too but most of the teachings from other pastors makes me feel like a already in he'll condemned sinner! Thank you so much. From Namibia 🇳🇦
I was so wrong in my perspective on divorce! Being raised in churchanity I thought that you could not remarry after a divorce under any circumstances. I even know a divorcee who has been celibate for 30+ years because she believes churchanity teachings on divorce also. Thank you for the enlightenment, this is such a great teaching!!

Divorce is forgivable as long as you remain unmarried or reconcile back.
wonderful insightful teaching.
It seems that a legal separation would be equal to putting away. Being with another person during that time would constitute adultery.
Accurately so.. And what is in this teaching.. That's where part is then stated a certificate of divorcement..
Exactly! It's not a difficult concept to understand. But it's easier to fool people than it is to convince them they've been fooled.
Even the famous God hates divorce scripture is literally God hates sending away. And of course He does, as it condemns the woman to adultery since women in that time couldn't provides for themselves so without a certificate of divorce she couldn't legally remarry and only choice for survival was prostitution or living in sin.
@@stormrising2623 if God hates Sending Away, then He would have hate it when the Hebrews Sent Away their Strange Wives.

BRILLIANT. Thank you so much for this easy to understand and Biblical, teaching. I appreciate it. God bless you.🙏✝️💯👑
“And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
Mark 10:4-9 KJVAAE
The preacher did not address that no men may separate what is joined as one flesh. God honors the covenant marriage and so it is important to know what you're getting into before you marry.
The best teaching on this subject ...thank you...
Finally a clear explanation of marriage, divorce and remarriage, Now I am ready for a Torah observant husband?!!!Only if Father wills it of course!
Only if at 40 I had a proverbs 31 wife

How are you now Linda? Have you remarried?
Wow, what teaching! Thank you for an absolutely great word from YVHV. It absolutely cleared my mind. Thank you, thank you thank you for this segment, helping me through all of this dross. I've been divorced for almost 11 years, I've been through a life-threatening, stroke because of it! I've listened to others but no one has ever put it as clearly as you have. As I said, I have been listening to speakers for a long time and I NEVER heard this before. I believe in the WHOLE Bible, not just the New Testament (for lack of the proper term). I am so enlighted by your teaching that I want to "shout it from the rooftop"!
Are you praying for your wife's soul?

Thank you very much,
for this teaching
Well.. do I ever feel released from my divorce shame!
Sis... what is in the past is in the past... we have Yahshua as our advocate. Don’t let the enemy keep you in shame!
Me two Alana. I was attending a baptist church and for the longest time I walked in shame and filth. Thanks to Elhoim I have been seeking old scripture in which one after one I found so much truth and healing and grown as if he was calling me out of Babylon. I chose my daughters health and my desire to be one in Elhoim. I tried in my marriage but my ex husband was into alcohol and gambolling and emotionally and mentally abusive. It was too much my daughter was in and out of the hospital from depression.
Me too i was living in tourmented after beeing married for a second time until today i feel peace and i can live now full of trust in my marriage with the man who is so wonderful
@@VictoriaEzpeletaLucas what Scripture Verse saids, a Believing Woman can Divorce her Husband.
The Context of the Holy Scriptures (The Holy Bible) shows us no Jewish (Believing Woman) had Authority to Divorce her Husband.
If you and anyone else is willing to follow the Torah righteously, then you should know Women were not given a Commandment by any Prophet to Divorce their Husbands.
According to Scripture, any Woman who Divorce her Husband is still Married to him, because Scripture saids that Men where able to Divorce and not Women.
Read It For Yourself....
“When a MAN hath taken a WIFE, and MARRIED HER, and it come to pass that SHE find no FAVOUR in his EYES, because he hath found some UNCLEANNESS in HER: then let him WRITE HER A BILL OF DIVORCEMENT, and give it in HER HAND, and SEND HER out of his house.”
- Deuteronomy 24:1 (KJV)
Does this Verse say anything about Women Divorcing?
There are many Women of yesterday and today that are committing Adultery by Divorcing their Husbands and Marrying Another.
So terribly sad.
Are you both in covenant marriage?
Thank you for this teaching. Marriage (Ketubah) is a contract. A covenant. Adam and Eve broke the original yet YHVH made a greater unbreakable through YAHUSHUA covenant or contract to those who will receive HIM. This has been something I've thought about and even condemned myself as a put away then divorced woman. YHVH is the greatest lawmaker . HE understands contracts and their remedies. Thank YOU FATHER!
Thank God for you. Years of being judged and wondering how Jesus could be contradicting Deuteronomy 24...such release and relief.
AMEN HALLELUYAH PRAISE YESHUA HAMASHIACH🙌📖💯🙏!! This is exactly what I've been teaching for the past 12 years and yet many lukewarm Christians still goes against what Yahweh has spoken!!
Please elaborate!
Wow thank you so much for this
Excellent teaching! Thank you
John Bottone I agree!
It’s a terrible thing that many comments here sound just like the Pharisee’s. There was no room for forgiveness to sinners and they thought above others. “To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable: 10“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed,a ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men-swindlers, evildoers, adulterers-or even like this tax collector. 12I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’ 14I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 18:9-14
Why do we always say we are being condemned when we are speaking against sin?
Do we really want to follow Jesus or do we still love our sin? Let's be honest. Have we died to ourselves, carry the cross, and follow Jesus?
Great teaching well explained. Thank you Steve
Excellent sermon I researched this and have known this true understanding for a long time it is a shame many are ignorant of this as leaders even thanks for a clear CONCISE TEACHING
Good teaching , thank God for his revelation.
Thank you for this truth. God led me here and I am so grateful. God bless you.
I thank you for this teaching..I have never been married but held very strong beliefs on divorce and remarriage through what I was taught in "Christian church"...I am still unlearning the lies..thank you for clarifying this volatile subject.
This is the best and most thourogh examination of what it means to get divorced and remarried that I have ever seen. I like it not only because it relieves me of my shame, but teaches a truth. I have been made to feel unworthy of even attending church anymore because I am divorced and remarried. The church has the attitude, why are you here since you've condemened yourself to hell?
Are you praying for your husband's soul?
Thank you so much for this video. This is an answer to a prayer.
I left my marriage ten years ago because of all kinds of abuse except physical, but never got a certificate of divorce because of money. I have been with someone else and have repented to ABBA. G-d bless you, your family, and congregation.
He skimmed over 1 Corinthians 7:10, which argues against his whole teaching pretty strongly. If this one verse is expanded on, it will present a different teaching than what is presented here. Also, he downplays "what God has joined together, let no man separate."
He does address what God joined together. Do you think God has joined together every married couple? Or is it only those who got married in church before a pastor? Or is it those who God purposed to be together?
@olliewatler7225 I don't think anybody can decide for other people if God joined them or not. I can speak for myself, and I agree that God put the means for my wife to be my wife. The circumstances of our relationship determine my reasoning. Being married at a church or by a judge is not the determining factor of "what God has joined together."
All marriages should seek God's will. Nobody should have a mentality that says, "God didn't join us together, so it's OK to separate." Once you're in it (marriage), try to make it work.
@@olliew7225God recognises all marriages. Period. Believers ot unbelievers. Hebrews 13:4
@@grant2149so he recognizes Gay marriages or those married in Vegas drunk.
@@madeinhisimage9277 Dont be stupid Now are you a kid or an Anti christ. God regconises all marriages between 1 Man 1 Woman for life believers or unbelievers please give SCRIPTURE where it says GOD RECOGNISES GUY MARRIAGES.
Love you brothers & sisters…tyvm for posting this excellent lesson…keep it up! One bit of feedback: while I love the brother’s enthusiasm, whom we can hear often giving Amens and lots of instant feedback on points and definitions being made, and I admire him clearly following along closely, I must say: for a video/audio listener like myself, hearing that is repeatedly a distraction. I advise: alter your microphone setup so audience members aren’t audible in the recording. (Side note: check with the congregation whether they feel it’s as excessive and/or distracting for them as it is for a remote listener like myself. But, in the end, AMEN, continue to facilitate and allow appropriate and agreed-upon enthusiasm among the congregation!)
well studied. good message.
Thank you for this teaching !
What does repentance look like? Turning from living in adultery to leaving the person that you are committing adultery with!
You're sick. Telling people to destroy a marriage and a family, just because you're too proud and or sadistic to admit your beliefs are false and based on not knowing the scriptures and the words that were actually used.
Sent away and being divorced weren't the same in tjat culture just as Separated and divorced aren't the same today.
Even in our fallen society you can't get remarried if you're only legally separated. Until you have a divorce decree you're still married.
Do you honestly think God and Jesus would set up a system where a woman who gets unjustly divorced from her husband can't remarry and is forced either into adultery, prostitution or starvation? Because those were her ONLY choices back them.
@@cryptojihadi265You are truly lost and deceived. Therebis No biblical grounds for remarriage except death. Good luck with your opinions on judgement day., i do Not wana be you one day.
Excatly many will be lost the road is narrow this man is deceiving people
Agree
@@cryptojihadi265I've been standing for 7 yrs and never regret this because I am being led to Jesus in my stand.
I'm never led to divorce because I hold on to the covenant I made that I will be faithful to GOD and my husband until death.
Am I wasting my time to stand then? Who is leading me to stand? Satan?
I too have needs but all of these have been provide by the Lord.
I'm in divine peace, not desiring anything outside of His will.
Wow thank you
Thank you for this video...
Good talk. Most times we start off on the wrong foot.
Thank You Rabbi Berkson for explaining [eveningly yoked]. Am becoming a fan of your video's.
I was very enlightened by this teaching
marcia mignott Me too!
The Bible speaks of only ONE time you can remarry and this is if your spouse dies!! This speaker just added his interpretation, he said because it didn’t say letter of divorce you can remarriage, that’s him talking and not scripture. He can’t show you that in scripture he added that!
The Word of God states you can only remarry when your covenant spouse dies. Otherwise you are in adultery. No adulterer will see the kingdom of God. Seek God for he is not the author of confusion.
Thank you so much I need to hear
Regarding Steve Berkson w/ MTOI
@1:50 he basically says "keep out of it" (with the goal of the leadership dealing with it)
Leviticus 19:17 "You shall not hate your brother in your heart. 👉You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him."👈 but it should be done in accordance with Matthew 18:15-19
@8:00+ he says you can divorce and get remarried
@9:30+ he makes marriage nothing more than a contract (where as it is a covenant, which is far more binding)
@13:00 he iterates remarriage (allegedly) allowed
@17:10 "and then it's legal and ok"
@25:20 he differentiates the lack of certificate. While there is a valid point of discussion here, it boils down to semantics, and he (later) uses this to bolster his point that with a certificate, it is somehow ok to divorce and remarry, thus nullifying the very words Yahusha (and Shual) say based on Genesis 2:24.
@36:00 he misses 1 Corinthians 7:13-16
@39:39 No, it doesn't say he can't, but neither does it say he/she can. It says "*when you do*, *then* you shall not...." Nothing says she is free to marry again at all.
@41:45 "there needs to be erva or porneo" He is connecting erva (the Hebrew word) with porneo (the Greek word). However, the Hebrew word for adultery is H5003 naap. Erva H6172 is uncleanness. Recall adultery results in *death* (and he correctly noted this at the start).
If adultery is fornication, then the distinction Yahusha made is irrelevant, and there is no point in marriage, as adultery can trigger divorce, and divorce results in adultery.
@43:28 "only porneo or erva are reason for divorce" Again, he has synonomized fornication (or uncleanness) and adultery and made both reasons to divorce, thus nullifying the words of Yahusha.
Thanks for the clarification
Thank you.shalom!
Thank you, teacher.
Thank you for this wisdom. There is a particular person in my social media feed who is continually condemning me and others for having previous marriages. I married at 19 before understanding Torah and really understanding Yahuah and really life in general. I was young and dumb and acting in my own will and not Elohim’s. I have grown and repented, as have many others. This person continually tells me I am going to go to hell of O do not divorce my husband and live the rest of my days single. She tells me I am unrepentant because I refuse to break the covenant I have made with my husband. This clarifies so much for him. Please pray for this woman for her view on this matter that she may come to the truth.
This woman is following what is called "The Marriage Permanence Doctrine". They believe that the first person you marry is your permanent spouse until they die. Yes they believe that someone such as yourself can not remarry for any reason. That who ever you married when you were young and unaware of Torah is your only husband and that if you can't get back together with him you must remain single always. But they still allow for remarriage after a divorce. They say if I am single and I marry a divorced woman it's not a legitimate marriage. Therefore I can divorce this woman and marry again as long as she's never been married herself.
FINALLY!! Someone with a lick of Holy Spirit sense. We were blind, but now we see.....
David Womack do you live in North Georgia? I know a David Womack.
My God what a knowledge thank yo blessings
excellent teaching!
You can’t make someone stay with you and to continue loving you. Some people change over the years. They started out loving God but then they change through the years. It takes a lot of work I don’t believe in divorce but is what it is.
Ok follow the Law is really important n influence. Thanks for the speaking lovely. Put away remarried and pray deeply for protection demon strictly. Thank you Jesus you let me know every things before happen
