Thank you for this message. I am going through a divorce because my beautiful wife of 32 years left me for another weasel/man and I have looked over and over for a loophole to remarry. I found nothing and believe the church is flooded with adulterous remarriage. Muchas gracias
I'm sorry for your loss and I know how you feel but your wife has now become an adulterous because she's marrying another man while you're still living so God does not honor what she's doing she will be living in a state of adultery everyday until she repents and leaves that second marriage
Read all the Word. Deut 24 for example. Then recognize what the original greek actually says in the N.T. The bible never contradicts itself. When it seems to it's mis-translation. Look up verses where there are tools to see the original wording. (blueletterbible.org) Many times "let go" and divorce were interchanged when they weren't supposed to be. Dig in and you'll learn.
Doug ,me too 20 years 3 children ,my wife never wanted to seek biblical counseling walked out on me too messing around with different men and seeing these knuckle head guys driving cars we had together , I'm still going THROUGH the pain of my family being destroyed but I found no answer for me to remarry but just listen to God word and rejoice in my trials ..there no way around it
In order to understand this subject Hermenuetics must be applied. You must understand who Jesus was talking to, how he was answering the questions, and the state of the Jewish culture on marriage at that time. You also have to look at the original translations. Jesus was addressing the pharisees because they were putting there wives away for reasons that were ridiculous like not cooking right. Plus two individuals had just divorced their spouses to marry each other. The pharisees were trying to trick Jesus into commenting on that issue. Thus why John was beheaded. I know many single individuals who got divorced and were not looking whatsoever and God sent godly man or woman into there life, they got remarried and have some of the most wonderful relationships and ministry. Remember David committed adultery then married Bathseba, Hoshea married a prostitute, Moses married an Ethopian woman, the women at the well Jesus forgave, five husbands, and he did not say go back to your first.
I found this out to be true by experience. I was cursed to leave my wife and remarry another. I lost my family, lost my children, lost my ministry, lost my job. Now 11 years later, God drove out my second spouse and 8 years later brought my first wife and 2 additional sons back into my life. I have learned to listen to God's Spirit to the "T" from this point on.
My wife divorced me. She is believing but has not given her life to Christ and become a new creation. I am committed to walking in celibacy, I can't date or take on a different spouse. While I wish I was married and had a wife that was born again and loved me, but I will take on this responsibility and enjoy my bride relationship with my spouse Jesus. It has brought me closer to God since he has more than made up with love and growth in my relationship with my Abba father. I only hope Jesus has a plan for me to walk in greater boldness since I no longer have to answer to my spouse. I no longer have to worry about her or her needs.
It is ok to divorce and remarry if your spouse committed adulery Jesus speaking in Mt 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Also again in Mt 10:19 NOTICE: except for the cause of fornication, which is actually all sexual activity out side of the marriage of one man and one women. Adultery is a reason according to Jesus
@@raymondmitchell6 I read that verse as except for the cause of formication, CAUSETH her to become an adulteress (means he does not CAUSETH her to commit adultery because fornication is already there in the marriage)
@@DerrickH1969 That's right not under bondage also, Luke 20:35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come & in the resurrection from the dead no longer marry, or are given in marriage, & can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection. Revelation 21:8 ... ALL liars - they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulphur. This is the second death.
When two become one flesh in marriage, it can only be broken through death. If you remarry you are not married in God's eyes but you are an adulterer. Romans 6:1-2, "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2v. God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" In order for you not to commit adultery, you must divorce your current spouse and remain single until your original spouse dies. I was married for 20 years and my ex-wife committed adultery on me. We went to counseling but she wouldn't do her share of the work to keep our marriage together. I have been divorced for over 6 years. She remarried 2 years ago. I started trying to date after 3 years of being divorced and wonder why relationships never would work out. Now I know. The Lord was trying to save my soul from going to hell because an Adulterer can not inherit the Kingdom of God. I have prayed for the "Gift" that the Apostle Paul said that he was given by God to remain unmarried. Believe me, it is a gift that can only come from God. Blessings
Ivory Perry III Amen hallelujah...me too facing the same thing,i been 6 years divorce of my ex husband because he getting remarry to another women...iam just waiting for God's word.until this minute i did not dare to have a relationship with a man.iam always getting afraid how if i commit sin with that way
Dewi Sonita, Amen my Sister-In-Christ. I pray for reconciliation on your behalf, but If your husband chooses to marry another woman then my prayer for you is Grace from God to remain unmarried until His return. Marriage is not worth your soul in hell. Walking with Jesus Christ in the New Jerusalem will be worth it all in the end. Blessings.
Ivory Perry III Amen...please put me in your prayer dear brother in Christ,so my faith will not going fate,and i will pray for your faith also...Jesus Christ blessing us,Amen.
at the 16 Minute mark you fully undid everything you just said, for 15 minutes. John the Baptist called for the King to divorce his brothers wife, Paul said do not even associate with the man who married his fathers wife. Scripture calls for the end of adultery marriage, and end the relationship. What you are saying, is continue in the adultery, this is contrary to what scripture teaches.
@JC Clinton who do you follow? You follow Christ and miss your way by wandering off following Him. And you come to your senses and still want to stay in the path where you lost your way?
You are absolutely right. You can't keep on sinning by staying in adultery. You must repent and stay single and chaste or if God makes a way, reconcile with the covenant spouse. I mistakenly had this one on my divorce and remarriage adultery playlist. My channel has done many videos about the permanence of marriage and divorce and remarriage is adultery unless the first spouse is dead. Jesus is Lord, and any day He will rapture His bride/church. Maranatha.
Wait a minute. When a person becomes aware of the sin, should they not repent of it and STOP it a.s.a.p.? Seems to me a remarriage after divorce, while previous spouse is still alive, must be annulled or voided so as to put an end to the continuous adultery.
@Susan Ann Brunt how about when Jesus said in Matthew 5:32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Jesus made an exception, not only death but if your spouse commited adultery
The lack of the cultural and historical context in the understanding of Mosaic / Talmudic / New Testament teachings concerning marriage, the divorce certificate, adultery, and remarriage is why sophomoric teachings like this fall flat. Most people don't realize that there were two Jewish schools of thought on this subject when Jesus was physically on Earth. One school saying a man can divorce his wife for any reason and the second saying the only reason was due to sexual immorality or "adultery". The point of contention being the issuance of a "certificate of divorce" by the first husband which allowed the woman to legally remarry. If the second husband divorced her or died she could not remarry the first husband. Jewish law. Jewish tradition. Since most western Christians have little to no contextual understanding of the bible and simply believe the bible was "written to them" , their time, their cultural viewpoint (American), their understanding of scripture is imprecise. Not understanding that the bible is a Jewish book about a Jewish messiah, coming to the Jewish people, the people of and under the law. The majority of what Christ taught was directed at the people who would ultimately reject him. Christ fulfilled the requirements of the law. Completely. You either believe this or you don't. For the Church marriage is a union reflective of the relationship between Christ and the Church in the context of the Church age. It is a union meant for procreation and a way of escaping sexual immorality. It is meant for life because we are to flee all sin for life. It is however not perfect because we aren't perfect. Religious dogmatism does not equal personal holiness. Judgement without mercy is also condemned. James 2:13. Do you lie? Do you repeatedly lie? Will you go to hell for repeatedly lying? Do you steal? Do you repeatedly steal? Will you go to hell as a Christian for stealing? Do watch pornography? Do you repeatedly watch pornography? Will you go to hell as a Christian for repeatedly watching pornography? The last time I checked there's only one unforgivable sin and it's not "remarriage". Who really has the hard hearts law givers?
Robert Floyd, Yes! Finally some common sense brother. If people would just look at the Greek meanings in these verses and keep things in context then they could put this issue to bed. Thank you for your voice of wisdom!
So are you saying that the new testament was written only to and for Jews?You make some generalisations that need to be looked at more carefully, although some of the new testament is gender specific , private letters, historical fact , ETC, there are many directives on how gentiles should conduct themselves ..... would you have us believe that the statements about , "Marriage , Divorce, Fornication , Adultery. and remarriage and its effects , are covered by, as you put it....."The last time I checked there's only one unforgivable sin and it's not "remarriage". Who really has the hard hearts law givers?".( I haven't seen that scripture)It reads like unless you commit the "Unforgivable sin"......you cant go to the "Lake of Fire"?
No one is saying that remarriage is an unforgivable sin. He is saying that JESUS taught that it is a sin and ought not to be done. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
@@FreedomsNurse Please help ‼ I was married for 25 years. My unbelieving abusive cheating lying ex husband left divorced me and married someone else. I want to remarry but I'm scared because I do not want to go to HELL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Do I have to wait until he dies 1st to get Remarried? What about the scripture that says if an unbeliever leaves you you are not bound to them ? Please comment! Thanks Gina 🙏🙏🙏
@@ginagregg6642 Death is the only thing that breaks the marriage covenant. Read Romans 7:2-3 and 1 Corinthians 7:39. If you remarry before your covenant spouse dies, you will be committing adultery (Mark 10:11-12 & Luke 16:18). If an unbeliever leaves, you are still married to them and are not free to remarry. Many people have made untrue assumptions that 1 Corinthians 7:15 allows the abandoned spouse to remarry because they were looking for a way to remarry, yet in the same chapter in verse 39, it says that only death sets someone free from the marriage thus allowing them to remarry. 1 Corinthians 7:15 means that you are not bound to try to force the unbelieving spouse to remain married to you if that person wants to leave you. You are to do the peaceable thing and let that person go if that is what he/she wants to do. Trying to force the person to stay is not a peaceful thing to do. Please focus on drawing close to the Lord. He can fill any loneliness in your life if you let Him. I know because He has given me joy and peace as a live in obedience to His Word.
This was music to my ears until the very end. You really have a way with words and you were really explaining it very thoroughly and very nicely until the end. How did you get such a deep revelation on marriage but you don't understand that a remarriage is adultery? At what point does the person cheating turn that relationship into a holy marriage blessed by God just because they said a vow? Running up to the altar while committing adultery doesn't qualify you for marriage, it just confirms your ignorance of God's word. All they did was make a vow to keep committing adultery. You cannot state that divorce is wrong and then turn around and say but if you're remarried you're good. I don't know if you're a real Pastor. You sound like you're trying to confuse the flock and keep people on the road to hell in my opinion.
You are spot on I am in this situation and am working to get out of this marriage. While the person I am now married to does not want it to end I know beyond a doubt that this is wrong. My fist hush is now deceased his first wife is still very much alive. I did not know about this when I married him. But I know now and want out.
@@diannewalker8725 Praise God for revealing this Revelation to you. I know in our day and age a lot of people don't think twice about dating and marrying a divorced person, it's so commonplace. I know our generation grew up with it. I just thank God he opened your eyes and showed you the truth and gave you a heart to want to do what's right. I pray that God will bless you for your obedience to His Word.
@@tawanaharris4600 Tawana your first comment literally gave me chills .Why?Because although he has an Immensely deep revelation (which makes it all the more scary)You Tawana demonstrated a unwavering foundation.Glory be to God!!!!!!!!!!Stay Steadfast in our Glorious Holy Lord Jesus Christ foundation and you can't go wrong spotting false prophets.The Sprit of Truth has led you well though out this video.Remember Satan told EVE some what of the truth only to deceive her in the end.This Man is Brilliant (As Satan is)but Extremely Dangerous.If even 1 percent of the Word of God is misrepresented especially from those who say "this is the Will of God", Woe to that FALSE TEACHER!This is a sign Revelations is getting near and Satan is trying to cut us off at the legs But with faith like yours Tawana we will continue running towards CHRIST.You hold the power of discernment.Glory be to God!!!
@@tawanaharris4600 We all have to discern the word of God by seeking His wisdom. For example, if a young man/woman got married and divorced at the age of 20 are you saying that they are to remain unmarried for the rest of their life? Paul said that’s it’s better to marry than to burn in passion. Paul also said that in order to be an elder in the church you have to be a husband of only one wife. Paul had to address this matter because Jewish law allowed for a husband to have more than one wife. God is looking at our hearts and not based on the law. For example, most people would say that King David is in heaven and I believe that as well however, David had several wives but God never accused him of committing adultery until he took another man’s wife. We all have to discern the Bible correctly because if we don’t we can mistakenly place people back under the law and not grace.
I agreed with you about everything until the very end when you said that the remarried spouse's should stay together because I for one believe that God does not want divorce and remarriage so if I'm praying for my husband to come back to me the second marriage is not a legal marriage so I'm praying that God will help my husband to repent come back to God and come back to me. ? ...see?
I agree with you Alice. Standing for our marriage is honorable and right before God, hoping for restoration. A remarriage while the spouse is still living is adultery.
He is referring to Abraham and hagar. The angel told her to return to her mistress .the law back then if a man lay with her that was single her food and clothing he shall maintain and he shall not put her away as long as he lives deut 22. V 28-29
alice4him945 You are wrong,and he is right. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 is about divorce and remarriage. The passage tells us that a man or woman cannot return to a former spouse and marry him or her if the former spouse had subsequently married another person. Here is the passage, Deuteronomy 24:1-4 If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, 2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, 3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, 4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
Parbatie Brotherson I believe in God but you know I went through two rough marriages and it's something I don't often like to talk about but I cried out to the Lord with the true repentance heart and ask him to forgive me for breaking his laws and Commandments and I believe in my heart that I'm forgiven I was always told that all sins are forgiven except for one that's blasphemy of the Holy Spirit you don't have to take my word for it but I thought I'd share this with you
I know its rough Parbatie Brotherson hang in there We are all here for one reason which is eternal life. Mat 19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's 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 heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Here it is, not a sin to remarry: 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 King James Version (KJV) 27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 28 But 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.re it is, it's not a sin to remarry:
27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 28 But 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.
*At **15:19** He said Jesus calls ALL remarriages adultery. But then he contradicts himself and said at **15:45** concerning people that are already remarried, if they done so in ignorance, or if the scripture was not explained to you, no that God does not consider you to be in adultery. You are not required to return to your first spouse, and in fact should not according to instruction of scripture....* *I totally disagree with that because the only thing that end a marriage is death, and if your first spouse is alive, Paul said if you be married to another you are committing adultery, and that goes for whether you knew it or not, and he was correct when he said Jesus calls ALL remarriages adultery, ALL remarriages would include if you remarried before you heard the truth, it's still adultery and one must get out of that adulterous second marriage or they are still in sin,* *Be not deceived no adulterers can inherit the Kingdom of God*
I couldn't help but notice that near the end of this teaching, when the everlasting "grace" of MAN took over, the use of scripture abruptly ceased. What a sad ending to an otherwise sound and accurate teaching.
What you guys reality mean is this pastor didn’t add to scripture like you two do. This type of interpretation is called eisegesis - the interpretation of a text (as of the Bible) by reading into it one's own ideas. No where in the bible does it teach the “divorce to repent” supposition. Nowhere!!!!! I understand how you get your deduction but no writer of scripture came to that conclusion, only those who add to scripture do.
Neal Doster are you serious you can't see that clear contradiction at the end. It was no need for him to correctly say way scripture says and then at the end go against it pointless and causes confusion.
Agree with general consensus below. There is no ground for remarriage unless the covenant is broken on death. Doctrines of devils creeped in towards the end. You also negated to touch on the importance of repentance throughout. Seek Jesus for clarity brother. We do not serve a God of confusion. God bless.
@Paul Ruffin You are using Deuteronomy 24 as your basis, and that doesn't apply in these cases, because it refers to him leaving her because of an "issue of uncleanness". That is not the case when an adulterous partner leaves the innocent spouse and remarries someone and commits adultery. Now if both parties are already remarried, I can see how it may be better to keep it that way because the innocent party moved on already, and they are at peace. But if they are praying for God to turn their spouses heart back to their covenant marriage, then it would be wrong to punish the innocent party and say No you cant go back to her. Insanity!
He is preaching to match his very own situation. He is so determined to be right , his message isn't seasoned with the Holy Spirit. I bet you if his wife divorces him tomorrow, his message will change
Your question starts from false supposition. When divorce was conceded so was the right of remarriage (Deut. 24:2). The first marriage was prohibited from being reconciled (v.4). The second marriage was a binding marriage to which absolutely no one from scripture instructs to be dissolved, NO ONE in either Testament. What "law" are you referring to?
Jason Peters God says that he doesn't change so people will continue to believe that they can divorce their spouse so basically trade in chicken for turkey.
You must remember Jesus didn't come to change the law he came to fulfill it so if God is against divorce so is his son is us as a people that are continuing to allow adultery to take place in the church and if you are pastor and you marry somebody that has a living spouse you sending that person to hell and you going right with them for marrying them
@@lastone2145 yes I read it but Moses wrote that Moses isn't God God never made divorce if you would have made it you would have said so in the beginning after he constituted marriage so even if you get out of a marriage you can't we married unless your spouse dies no exceptions
All good up until the advice on second (3rd, 4th, etc. marriage), once it is revealed to a man, woman or couple that they are in a state of adultery because of divorce and remarriage, they must repent, they must uncouple. Repentance without restitution makes a mockery of the whole concept of repentance. Try preaching that in today's churches! It is always possible the original (covenant) marriage can be restored (I've seen it happen and it is awesome to behold), if not God will give grace to enable a single and Holy life. Once your eyes are open to this truth, God requires decision and action!
You missed the Lord’s point. Remarriage never was the adultery. Jesus was criticizing divorce and He did so by revealing what it caused for remarriage. God had not forced singleness on Israel even though they inadvertently committed this manner of adultery. Divorce is the primal cause because it prematurely ends a marriage therefore staging remarriage to violate the “faithfulness until death” responsibility. Jesus taught that divorce causes one to commit adultery when they remarry, not the marriage is the adultery. The focal point of criticism was on divorce. This manner of adultery is a two factor or two cause adultery, not one factor. Remarriage causes adultery because of divorce. That was the Lord’s point and that is why He admonished Israel to stop separating the one-flesh union (Matt. 19:6). That was His only instruction on this issue. Jesus did not teach that more divorce was the answer to this predicament. Neither did anyone else in scripture.
Nice opinions, but you need Scripture to back up your opinions. They "must uncouple," where is that found in the Bible? "Repentance without restitution makes a mockery of the whole concept of repentance." Where is that in the Bible? Nowhere in the Bible does it say you have to have to correct every wrong committed once repentance occurs. All interesting opinions, but that is all they are, man's opinions. Nowhere do we ever read of God telling someone to break up a marriage. There are so many opinions flowing around, but very little Bible.
GordonJensenVideos that's because these weak minded preachers are caught up in the flesh and is leading alot of people to hell teaching that God will bless an adulterous marriage. You'll get thrown out of churches for preaching against sin. What are these people going to church if they're going to be Sinners anyway
@@martin9410 Is it that hard to understand that repentance carries a change of mind ? A turning away ? It is the basic concept of the Bible , isn't it ?
If fornication only refers to pre-marital relations, could you please explain to me why the word is used to describe the sin of the Corinthian who was having his father’s wife. Thanks
you talk 99% the truth but at the end the one 1% you lie which affects the 99% true. you can't remain in a remarried unions that God call adultery. how can God bless a remarried that he call adultery even you dont know the scripture before ???? you're a preach that bring people's to hell instead of the kingdom of heaven. God grace doesn't cover sin otherwise i remain in my sin and have the hope to go heaven. we have the grace of God when we have sin and we need to ask God for forgiveness and repent and turn away from that sin.
listen, i was so disappointed at this message at the end. I pray for this teacher Lord, I pray that the spirit of truth will minister to him and he will repent for misleading people. Everything else he mentioned was on point, except the end............ hope he addresses it sometime soon. Peace 🙏
@@samanthajohnson5958 that is exactly how I felt. Very inconsistent with what he teaches throughout the whole message, that if the cheating spouse remarries he is not allowed to return to the innocent spouse whom he may have children with as well. She is at home standing and waiting and praying for her husband to come to his senses and this preacher is stating that he CANT return to her. He is implying that the adulterous marriage is more binding than the covenant marriage. That is just wrong!!!
He ruined it at the end by compromising. How can he says that?! Stay in your remarriage. The Lord will see you through, you should be separated but also provide for your children from that adulterous remarriage of course. You are in ignorance no longer even if you were in the first place. Yes, it's hard teaching and the disciples said that was it not better therefore not to get married. So sad to let it down at the end, if he's a pastor maybe he is afraid half his church will leave.......
Absolutely correct! You cannot teach that marriage is PERMANENT, then when you come to those who disobeyed (through ignorance or willfully--scripture NEVER addresses that), completely go against all you previously taught on the marriage covenant. Sigh........
You are right there is nothing to say if you repent and then remain in the sin it is ok. Repent means walking away from the sin anything else is delusion.
earlydawn8183 Wouldn't it be hurtful to leave your second spouse and caused him to fall if you leave him. He has been good to you and suddenly you want to leave. Do you know going back to your first husband is detestable to the Lord? Deuteronomy 24:1-4 is about divorce and remarriage. The passage tells us that a man or woman cannot return to a former spouse and marry him or her if the former spouse had subsequently married another person. Here is the passage, Deuteronomy 24:1-4 If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, 2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, 3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, 4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
This man is in error where he is telling people they can stay in an adulteress marriage if they are in that state once they receive the knowledge of the truth. Everything he said prior to that means nothing with his ending. He contradicts his own self. God is not the author of confusion. If he means no remarriage while first husband/wife lives, he means that, and if you are in an adulteress marriage you have to come out to be right with God, because the bible say NO adulterers or adulteress will inherit the kingdom of God. What happen to the part of the bible that say go and sin no more? You think god makes exceptions only for adultery. No he does not!!! Stop teaching this heresy or you shall receive the GREATER CONDEMNATION!
I had no choice my husband no longer wanted to be married, I tried, was abused,emotionally and physically, he cheated,drank alot then drugs and eventually I left .Went back to work due to threats of kidnapping my 2 year old and stalking, harassing...I divorced him ...he said he didn't want to be married he was on drugs mocked GOD and has nothing to do with our son who is 17.....but I know I must stay single until death. I agree the end is wrong
Melissa Mckinney he’s not saying that you should remarry. However, if you were remarried for the reasons such as first husband’s desertion, adultery or such, or you remarried in ignorance, not knowing the Scriptures, then you should not divorce again but remain in your new marriage. And I agree with that. Read also Deuteronomy 24: ““When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out from his house, and she leaves his house and goes and becomes another man’s wife, and if the latter husband turns against her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her to be his wife, then her former husband who sent her away is not allowed to take her again to be his wife, since she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the LORD, and you shall not bring sin on the land which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance.” Deuteronomy 24:1-4 NASB
My ex husband found Alcohol, drugs, and that he was abusive,and adulterous....also we did attend church as a family....although did not know the verses such as this...he started mocking GOD I just have found no Scriptures in my situation that allows for remarriage
So Is staying in a marriage and being abused for the rest of your life... I dont think any good god wants to see his children living in abuse for the rest of their life just because of the sake of staying married..
i believe your are correct on everything you said in video until about 16 minute mark. keep in mind john the Baptist lost his head on this issue to none christains.
He SHOT OUT IN LEFT FIELD around the 16min mark, I agree! The second marriage is NOT a marriage - It's literally as much a marriage as me saying I 'choose' to be female and therefore I am... It's simply not a fact. How POWERFUL a witness to the might of God and the HEART of that believer if they said to their NEW 'partner', "I m truly sorry for the pain and the emotional destruction this causes....But CHRIST is my ultimate goal and I MUST obey at ALL COSTS..." and leave the relationship. The Word of God spells out time and time and time again that we are to be willing to 'hate our mother, father, son, daughter, even ourselves....for His sake' - We must be willing to abandon all sin... At the same time, if we are married, we are bound to that marriage regardless of circumstances - no matter what they are - for the sole glory of God and to obey and please Him alone. Feeling unloved in the marriage....Find your rest in Christ. Feeling abused in some way? Get the church involved! Get the PASTORS involved. Seek the LORD and trust in Him, even unto death. The very men and women of scripture suffered all things - Brutalization, jail, even death....Who are WE to say we 'deserve better' or we 'shouldn't be anything but happy'.... It's a tough world - Trust me, I know - and yet Christ promises to never leave nor forsake us... But we say, "Sorry, God! I have had enough from this marriage. I don't deserve this...! I want MORE out of life. I want to be happy! And I want to be TREATED BETTER!".... How sickening - If Christ can't bring us joy in the midst of ANY sorrows and if we can not truly rely on Him to give us strength to survive through the hardest and coldest and most horrific of things - even the most horrific of marriages - then we simply can not claim to be OF Him. I can't claim to LOVE Christ and yet abandon my marriage for life any more than JESUS can say, "I forgive you but I won't welcome you into Heaven"... In the past couple years I have seen "christian" marriages - close friends and families - break up over things that simply will NEVER be Biblical reasons.... The brokenness and disdain and horror left in their wake is simply more evil than anything going on IN the marriages.... How SICKENING to believe that we can take things into our own hands.....RIP APART what GOD Himself says shall NOT be....and then turn around and expect to be perceived as a DISCIPLE of the LIVING GOD. PHEW - That's the short version of my response to this. lol
Justin Try understanding this issue from it's historic biblical unfolding. Jesus was speaking to His covenant people Israel, they were divorcing because of their hard hearts. Consequently they were defaulting on their responsibility to "cleave" or stay married (Matthew 19:5). Jesus was revealing to Israel that by not fulfilling their obligation to be faithful to each the other until death, it caused them to commit adultery. This pastor and John Piper don't believe Jesus contradicted Moses, that's an unnecessary presumption. Therefore reading them congruously would mean that Israel was being unfaithful to their former spouse (Matthew 5:32 "causeth her to commit adultery") while entering a binding marriage. The men of Israel having caused their wives to be defiled by releasing them to marry another were prohibited from ever remarrying them (former wife) Deuteronomy 24:4. A congruous understanding of Moses and Jesus would mean that although both of them revealed a shameful consequence followed remarriage, the marriage was a binding marriage. Do you deny the biblical fact that a second marriage was a binding marriage? Would the God you believe in ever affirm homosexual marriage?
Grace to you, Justin First of all know I’m not arguing against God’s heart for marriage. I fully agree that His will for marriage is lifelong. My disagreement with you revolves around remarriage. Historically (in the Old Testament), were remarriages binding marriages even though it caused a shameful consequence? Did Jesus teach that remarriages were no longer binding because a shameful consequences ensued? You are presuming He did, I do not. Although I agree we are under the New Covenant, no one should maintain that Old Testament TRUTH is obsolete. There are prophecies yet to be fulfilled about the earthly reign of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Old Testament is necessary to a proper understanding of New Testament Truth. Would you maintain that “thou shall not kill” is obsolete? Hebrews 8:13 speaks to the fact that the Old Covenant sacrificial system, the Levitical priesthood and such are obsolete, not the Truths found throughout the Old Testament. If you jettison Old Testament Truth you will not understand the New Covenant. Justin writes, “I disagree with your statement that a second marriage is a binding biblical fact.” Deuteronomy 24:1-4 establishes the biblical FACT that a binding marriage followed divorce even though a shameful consequence ensued. Do you still disagree with this biblical fact? Justin writes, “In this NEW covenant, things are explained at the heart level. Lust is not just a physical action but mental as well, murder is not just a physical action but mental as well.” I can only assume from this statement that you are saying that lust and murder did not occur mentally in the Old Testament. I can assure you it did. This is not new truth for the New Testament but rather Old Testament truth that had been overlooked by a people who believed they were innocent of adultery and murder if they had not committed the physical act. When Jesus spoke these things in the sermon on the mount (Matt. 5) I assure you it was relevant to whom He was speaking. Jesus revealed to His covenant people Israel that they were in essence adulterers and murderers. This truth certainly applies to the New Testament also, but it is not some truth obsolete to the Old as you seem to imply. Justin writes, “Moses permitted something BECAUSE of their hardness of heart. Jesus points out that it was not always this way and takes them back to the beginning and original heart of marriage. What is the original heart of marriage? What God puts together let no man separate! If Jesus calls a relationship adultery, then it's adultery. I wouldn't advise ever staying in an adulterous relationship. Name another example in scripture where a sin is only a since ONCE, and then it's ok to keep doing it? That's like saying you stole a million dollars, but you repented so now you can keep it. You got remarried while your spouse was living so Jesus calls that adultery but now it's ok. This is just nonsense logic in my opinion.” The reason it’s nonsense logic to you is because you don’t limit yourself to what Jesus actually said. You disregard biblical precedents and you interject supposition into the text. You instead reword what Jesus said to fit your supposition. For instance, Jesus never said the “relationship is adultery” or “the marriage is adultery,” but rather He said divorce and remarriage caused them to commit adultery, just like it caused defilement in Deuteronomy 24:4. But the marriage was spoken of as a marriage, a husband wife relationship even in light of the consequence. You are presuming that Jesus meant more than He said, you are speaking for God where God has not spoken. When one accepts the truth of WHO Jesus is speaking to and it’s relevance to them, they will then understand it’s retrospective implications. Jesus was revealing to Israel that they were committing this manner of adultery by prematurely ending their marriages. His only solution for this adultery was for them to stop separating the one-flesh union (Matthew 19:6). Once you understand this manner of adultery had been occurring throughout the Old Testament, you will understand Jesus’ reference to the beginning was to expose the “why” of that fact. Why had Israel been committing adultery in this manner? Because (as Jesus explains) marriage sets forth the responsibility to “cleave” (v.5) or stay together. Jesus revealed to His covenant people that by divorcing their spouse they were transgressing their responsibility to be faithful to each the other until death. Divorce and remarriage is another way of committing adultery, but the end result was they had enter another marriage and forbidden to reconcile the former (Deuteronomy 24:4). The consequence (defilement or adultery) did not negate the second marriage nor it’s responsibilities. It is your view that speaks beyond Christ, it is your view that presumes the consequence (adultery) is not a one time event. You are presuming that this adultery cannot be repented of while honoring one’s present marriage. If we limit ourselves to what the bible actually says and read Moses and Jesus congruously we will conclude that remarriage caused both a transgression and a transference of marital responsibility. Therefore remarriage resulted in a binding marriage as biblical precedents reveal. No one in either Old or New Testament instructs the “divorce to repent” supposition. Moses, Jesus nor Paul taught that the consequence invalidated the second marriage. Again I would encourage you to understand this issue from it's historic biblical unfolding. Don’t presume your suppositions are true. If you have to pit one biblical writer against the other you are on the wrong path.
Neal Doster Neal please help me. I divorced my first husband and wasnt faithful. We were not really Christians and I had not dedicated my life to Christ. My pastor said since there was no hope of reconciliation and because when a man looks at another woman with lust that is the same as committing adultery. My first husband was verbally abusive and neglected me in all ways and he didn't cheat but he flirted alot and was seeing another woman supposedly not sleeping with her . I left . I dedicated my life to Christ and have never cheated on my current husband. I am terrified of going to hell because I got remarried. I am under the impression I am allowed because my 1st husband emotional abandoned me and because he was talking to another woman. I could use any guidance. I feel like I have peace but at the same time I do have some concerns. Any advice appreciated. There are some folks that say I am going to hell because I'm in "perpetual adultery"?! Prayers please and advice. Thank you. Also do you read from KJV?
Read the Scripture. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 is about divorce and remarriage. The passage tells us that a man or woman cannot return to a former spouse and marry him or her if the former spouse had subsequently married another person. Here is the passage, Deuteronomy 24:1-4 If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, 2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, 3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, 4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
Amen brother Amen you got the scriptures ON POINT except for the last part. You cannot stay in an adulteress marriage. You are either to reconcile with your first spouse or remain unmarried.
There are wives that are praying that they're husband return the second marriage is illegal so the wife can pray for a miracle to happen nothing absolutely nothing is impossible for God if we pray according to his will he hears us so we will pray that they will come back and that is according to God's will he wants the marriage to be restored the first marriage
@@alice4him945 The first marriage is defiled after a 2nd marriage occurs. They can only remarry if no other marriage has occurred after the 1st marriage.
This video went on and on to prove everything and suddenly at the end made a statement at the end (stay together with your second spouse) with no supporting scripture. Or did i not understand it?

David Pawson didn't understand grace. We are all sinners, divorced or not - our sins will spoil our fellowship with God until we repent, but our salvation is purely about putting our faith in the cross
Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed . Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife, but even if you do marry, you have not sinned. ( 1 Corinthians 7 : 27, 28 )
Yeah the modern day Pharisees don't like those scriptures. Flies in the face of their judgmentalism. Nor do they care for : "For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment." James 2:13.
The proper rendering of loose in thay context means never married not divorced. He preempts that verse with the fact a woman is bound for as long as she lives and finishes along the same way.
He's right. ALL SIN must be repented of. You must turn away from the sin, not STAY in an adulterous marriage. Hellfire is real for those who don't repent and leave the adulterous marriage. If I can't do anything else, I'm telling you read, 💥👉🏽Divorce and Remarriage: What the Church DIDN'T Tell You!👈🏽💥 Oh. It will knock your socks off!! My jaw was on the floor after reading. You won't have any questions left after. Your eyes will be WIDE open‼‼
@@sounddoctrine3032I agree with you guys and I'd like to subscribe to your channel I'm looking for other watchmen on the wall I live in California, can't even find people to fellowship anymore and even churches are in apostasy, he doesn't make sense he says at the end of the video that if you didn't know that it was a sin you are not accountable well actually this video keeps you accountable and lets you know the truth so now that we know we have to do something with it and that would be to repent!
so... I know I robbed the bank, and I'm really sorry about that, but I'm keeping the money, and I'm having a big redemption party at my house.. oh... and I can afford two fatted calves!
@Kevin Hillier no, you didnt you ignored my point went back to yours and proved you are a troll with no intent on having an intellectual discussion.... thanks for playing
Where does it say it’s Gods will for a spouse to stay in the second marriage? Once you know the truth, you must repent and turn from your sin. God hast called me to stand and pray for the restoration of my marriage. If a spouse is bound until death, what you say at the end is not correct.
This Pastor for 16 minutes was on point with the scriptures. Divorce and remarriage while your original spouse is still alive is adultery according to the Bible. Around the last minute of the Pastor's teaching he dismantled his whole argument by saying the Second marriage is honorable by God and you can stay in it. WHAT THE DEVIL? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Let's remember god says "no sin is greater than the other" so all you so call " righteous" people in the comments talking about how much of a sin it is to remarry I hope yall never committed any sin in your life... remember- " there is only one lawgiver and one judge, he who is able to live and to destroy..but who are you to judge your neighbour?" ....Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
He is consistent until he says to stay in a remarriage, cuz they didn't know better. Really? Scripture for that?? Where is God's grace to get out of adultery and live a chaste life in this instance??? Mind blowing conclusion.....
Paul Brown His last conclusion for staying in a remarriage is NOT Scriptural. Would he say the same of a gay or lesbian couple who just got saved??? They should stay together because they entered into an homosexual relationship in ignorance! Really?
If this is true.. Then would this in essence nullify the santification of Jesus Christ as our Saviour by giving Himself on the cross for sin past, present and future... Would it not?
Hey brother, A viewer of mine made me aware that this video was on my divorce and remarriage adultery playlist, and I had missed what he said at the end to remain in the adulterous relationship. I deleted it. Wanted to say hello, and I hope that you are excited about Jesus' return. Maranatha.
Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever. If a spouse leave you and marry another. Scripture forbids you taking them back. God even calls it an abomination because it brings sin on the land. God doesn’t want disease on his people. Deuteronomy 24:4 I’m in this situation I understand I can’t marry till death but I can’t take them back either according to scripture.
@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlwaysyou're not supposed to stay in the adulterous relationship correct? He says at the end of this video that if you did not know you're supposed to stay in the marriage well this video makes you accountable and makes you know the truth so I don't know what he's talking about!
I was with you until the end. Do not say according to old testament scripture ' Do not return to your spouse. ' That's old testament. New testament says be single or RECONCILE. That means go back to your spouse if possible: BUT if not remain single. Even when God divorced isreal after isreals repeated adultery, God said "should a husband take but a defiled wife? YET I say return to me Isreal "JERIMIAH 3.1 kjv
My husband divorced me because he fell in lust with a younger woman. He cheated on me and divorced me. I didn't want the divorce even after what he did to me! So now your saying I am destined to be alone for the rest of my life because of what he did?! I don't accept that. I was innocent and a faithful and good wife who stayed married for 28 years through physical abuse emotional abuse and his cheating. I forgave him every time. Now what am I to do?
Its very hard I know, Take it to prayer. Remember life here on earth is smaller or shorter then a single grain of sand on the beach compared to eternity.
Dad Nova It is so hard and its all so new. My divorce was just final on January 2. I have prayed on it and will continue to do so. It's confusing because some videos say it's misinterpreted? I need to get in and read it myself, but I am a horrible Bible reader. I'd do better listening rather than reading. I appreciate your comment and thank you for being so understanding. God bless you ❤️
Brother you were spot on right until about 16:00. Repentance requires turning from the sin and not staying in it. What if a man were married to a man (in ignorance) and then comes to Christ, is he ok to stay in that be auze he wasn't a believer when he entered that life?
Wow !! Everything was good until the end where you say that those who are remarried ignorantly can stay in the marriage !?!?!? Please say you re kidding?? You will perish because you teach people to live in adultery , if you're a car thief and you turn to Christ three days after stealing s car then you obviously have to return the car ..... Same with wives
So many comments as how you will go to hell and so few regarding grace and salvation without even considering a persons circumstances. Christ has over and over again shown his love for us and yet there are some who ignore this and tell people they are going to hell for their poor life choices. Why didn't Jesus pick the pharisee's as his disciples rather than ones less perfect in the eyes of men? The victims of divorce are not perfect and their personal salvation is not determined by anyone other than our Lord and savior regardless of the comments of the many white washed tombs out there. My prayer is that all will know we serve a just and loving God and that never changes regardless of martial status. Be kind to those in need especially them that are suffering physically or any kind of loss to include divorce. Heaping guilt on those that have failed is not the answer and to threaten loss of salvation when you are not the final say is putting yourself in a position of judgment. To cite scriptures and disregard all circumstances surrounding them and to whom the audience is will reap only a partial or inaccurate understanding.
So according to you then everyone who says "Jesus" is basically going to heaven and nobody is going to hell, not adulterers, murderes, liars, nobody. Smh 🤦♂️ Ok, keep telling yourself that
@@philarevolutionarywarriorp8295 " And such were some of you... but you are sanctified... washed.. cleansed" We are all sinners remarried or not. If we sin the Lord will discipline us, but faith in the work of the cross is what brings about eternal life
@RhondaAllott Blessings Neal doster goes into great detail about the misunderstandings of the teachings of Jesus. You will find his detailed comments on many channels, including standing strong for marriage . Jesus himself says it all in john 5 46, and these youtube self-proclaimed experts throw out the very words God gave Moses in deuteronomy 24 1-4 trying to justify their unbiblical teachings. May you find peace in your journey
I was in total agreement with you, until you contradicted yourself at the end of the video. You said that God sees all remarriages as adultery, and there are no exceptions, But at the end of your video, you gave an exception. This is contrary to Christ teachings. I was married to a man who had been married twice. After he died, God began revealing to me that I had been living in adultery, and if I had died, I would have gone into eternal damnation with satin and his demons. As the scriptures say, the only exception to remarriage is death. The only way to be forgiven is to repent and turn away from your sin. I encourage you to study Ezra 10:10-11. The devil is very clever in distorting the meaning of God’s word, so please pray for clarity and understanding. Let God’s Word have the final say!
My wife cheated, she refused to stop, and she divorced me. I plan to remarry with ZERO guilt. I’m not sure what Bible you use, but my Kjv quoted Jesus as saying adultery is grounds for divorce. You have to go through an incredible amount of mental gymnastics to say that remarrying is not allowed after adultery.
I was where you were. I was in a heap on deception for 5 months as I was planning to remarry. Pray and fast earnestly about this. After divorce, we either remain unmarried or reconcile. After crying out to God to clean my heart, I’ve realized divorce is unforgiveness. My hubby cheated on me too. But God’s grace is sufficient. Don’t gamble with your salvation ❤
*WARNING: THE DUDE STARTS TO SHORT CIRCUIT AT **15:37**.* He is claiming that if God commands us not to marry our neighbor's wife and we disobey, then He suddenly changes His mind and starts commanding us to stay married to her. This is the description of a false god.
Lol @the dude starts to short circuit. You are absolutely right @DanielJohn2300. It's like a game of baseball where you make it pass all 3 bases and right before you get to home plate, you run backwards and put yourself right back to first base lol
Although well educated in the Scriptures, I'm still unsure of the Lord's will concerning remarriage. It seems that God's grace is sufficient for all our sins...except divorce.
The glaring error that so many are making is assuming that everyone who gets married was joined together by God🤦🏾 You can be anything and get forgiveness and get a new start in Christ, except a bad marriage. My former husband remarried. So now what? 🤔 Not SO!!!
I was with you all the way until the last 2 minutes. What sin can we repent of and continue doing? A thief repent, but continue stealing? The second marriage isn’t a marriage at all. The covenant marriage is always the marriage in the eyes of God so everything else is adultery. Anyone in adultery must stop it and repent.
Please go to 15 minutes of this video. The information is incorrect. Please read the Bible for your self people and Pray to God for answers. God bless you in Jesus name.
He is right. There is no such thing as divorce in the NT Church. Jesus condemned it and said it can actually cause divorce, even if the one who divorces his wife does not remarry. He "forces her into adultery"
He spent the whole video making the case that the 1st marriage can only be separated by death & at the end contradicts all the scriptures he quoted! Yikes!
I studied this more in depth and I do believe what you’re saying is false. Yes, it’s true that remarriage is discouraged, but not just remarriage, any marriage because of the difficult situation in Corinth, the persecution. You misuse what Jesus said about Moses giving a certificate of divorce. Jesus did not contradict Moses but contrary, he clearly said that who teaches even the smallest commandment will be called great in God’s kingdom. A divorce is allowed under the law although clearly not an ideal. Paul never said a woman should remain single after a divorce. In 1 Cor 7:11 it says that if a woman is divorced she should remain unmarried or should reconcile with the man. Unmarried is often translated single, but this is not the same. Unmarried just is the term for all who are not married, but the term virgin is used to explicitly say she never was married. Paul clearly says she’s now unmarried but not a virgin anymore. Now, Paul clearly said, if you are in the category of an unmarried person, you can remarry because it’s better to marry than to burn with desire and thus being tempted by Satan. Unmarried usually in that chapter refers to people who have been married before but through death or divorce are now single again. However a difference has to be made between divorced and put away. A husband is not allowed to put away his wife. Putting away means abandonment. A woman cannot remarry if there is no certificate of divorce and thus is tempted to commit adultery. Any man who marries her also commits adultery because she still is legally bound to her husband. Yes, Jesus taught the ideal, that once a couple is married they should remain together because they are one flesh. But hardness of heart in our society unfortunately causes lots of issues in a marriage that calls for divorce. God himself even divorced Israel, giving her a letter of divorce. Jesus said that grounds of divorce is ‘pornea’, which is fornication, not strictly adultery, and can include all kinds of things that make a marriage unbearable. Also someone who does not honour the Word of God, who claims he’s a Christian but beats his wife or torments her emotionally, clearly is not obeying the commandment to love her, can be treated as an unbeliever if he listens to no one, not his wife nor the elders.
Thanks for this wonderful and very clear teaching on Divorce and remarriage, though I'm not really convinced on the last statement you have.i will just select those with scripture basis not the ending part..this is what I've been waiting for...☺️..God bless you brother
Yep The Video Was Great But The Last Statement Threw Me Off I Don't Think We Can Use Ignorance As A Defense In Any Case Of Sin It Does Say In The Bible My People Parish For A Lack Of Knowledge
So what say of this scripture? Deuteronomy 24:1-5 KJV 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. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord : and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
Grace everlasting, I was very impressed with your video up until the last minute or so where you completely contradicted yourself. I humbly object to your final point as I already see in the comments others have also noted. You were running the race so well until the very end why the big switch? Ironically you backed up all your previous statements with scripture but the last point of saying God sanctions the adulterous marriage you provide no scripture. I wanted to give you an illustration to hopefully change your position. In today's society we probably all can agree the homosexual marriage lie is prevalent and being taught to our kids even in elementary. If the Lord should tarry another 20 years and some of these youth enter homosexual marriages in ignorance as it had been taught all there life, would you still tell that Couple since they did it in ignorance that it's not ideal but God still sanctions there abominable homosexual marriage and they should actually stay together per the scriptures? I hope this helps you brother see where your logic leads to. With love in Christ. Enoch
Staying in the second marriage while your ex spouse is still alive means the two are still in adultery true Repentance is to turn away from sin. Yes they can be forgiven but they must divorce.
Deuteronomy 24:1 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. 24:2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. 1 Corinthians 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 7:28 But 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.
After 44 years of marriage, my wife, without saying a word, ran off with another man. She came back in three months wanting a "Reconciliation" but it was far too late. I divorced her, was single for five years, met another woman who was everything my first wife was not. After dating for a couple of years, I again married. We are now in out seventh year of marriage. Couldn't be happier.

This was good, but the last part where you say those who got into second marriages because they did not know the scripture are given grace really confuses me. They did not know that they were committing adultery, and now that they know the truth must they still continue in sin so that grace may abound? I believe that God calls us to repentance and repentance means turn and do what is right. As sad and painful as it is, it is the truth and this is where true love and obedience to God is really challenged. God is no respecter of persons. He doesn’t change His word because we didn’t know the scripture. Yes we didn’t know because of our ignorance concerning His word, and now that we know that we had been leaving in sin what do we do? Through knowledge the righteous shall be delivered Proverbs 11:9. If that was a wicked way before the eyes of God , then we must turn away from our wicked ways. Please help me understand. 🙏🏽🥲
I agree with you his last part was not backed up by scripture. The state of adultery is different than a one-time occurrence . If one remains a bank robber you've got to stop robbing banks. You don't get to stay in the state that you're in. If the first legitimate marriage has not ended in death that means it's still a covenant marriage. That will only end in death. And God will give you the grace to live in that situation also. Too bad because that was an excellent explanation up until that point. Now I can't share this with others as I too would be leading them astray. God have mercy on him.
It's sad when we hold to a certain view that gives us a sense of holiness and righteousness but in order to do so we have to ignore or conflate conflicting scriptures. On this topic as with any other you must study THE ENTIRETY OF SCRIPTURES and then harmonize.
100%. There are scriptures that say to "believe" and leave out "repent", that doesn't mean we don't need to repent, as an example. We need to read the other scriptures and see what else is commanded. There are grounds for remarriage that would not be considered adultery, but within the lines of God's word, it's narrow but it's there.
I'm confused... you mentioned how every 2nd marriage is adultry. But you said if out of ignorance you are in a 2nd marriage then you are not in adultry and it's ok to stay in that 2nd marriage! Huge contradiction my friend! That's wrong! Jesus said " my people parish from lack of knowledge! You still have to repent from that 2nd marriage brother... spouse is still alive! Only death breaks a marriage covenant.
Luke 16:18 was misquoted by saying divorce, when in the King James version of the Bible it says "put away". In the Greek, the word is "apoluo" means to separate from or send out(without being divorced). In other words, that verse is saying Whosoever separates(without being divorced)from his wife, and marries someone else, he commits adultery. And whoever marries a woman that's put away(without being divorced)from her husband, commits adultery. Many Bible versions uses the word divorce when the King James version has the word "put away"(Luke 16:18; Matthew 19:9; Mark 10:11,12)which is NOT the same as the word divorce. Divorce(Greek) is apostasion Divorce(Hebrew) is keriythuwth Put away(Greek) is apoluo Put away(Hebrew) is Shalach. The Old testament language was Hebrew/Aramaic. The New testament language was Greek. In Malachi 2:16, God does not say he hates divorce(as so many translations state), but God says he hates the "putting away"(separation without being divorced). The Israelites separated(without being divorced)from their wives and married foreign women which God had told them not to do. This left the wives uncared-for and they couldn't marry because they were still married to their husbands. In the book of Ezra chapters 9 & 10, it tells of the lsraelites joined themselves to the foreigners which was an abomination to God; Ezra confesses these sins into God; they made a covenant to "put away"(separate from)these foreign wives and children because these marriages were unlawful in God's eyes. These men were still married to their wives. There are 3 stages of how a lawful divorce mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy 24:1 is carried out: 1) the husband must write out a divorce certificate. 2) husband must put the divorce certificate in the wife's hand. 3) husband must put wife out and send her away. This divorce certificate provided evidence that the woman was lawfully divorced, and she could go and become another man's wife (Deut. 24:2). Also, it protected her from accusations. Jesus said He came to do his father's will. He didn't change God's law on divorce and remarriage. In fact Jesus reiterated it in Matthew 19:9. Many Believers have been told that if they're divorced then they can't get married as long as their spouse is alive, but if the spouse dies, they are free to marry. How can you have a spouse when you're not married? God, in His Word has provided for divorce and remarriage (Deuteronomy 24:1-4), and Jesus didn't change God's moral laws but he did do away with the ceremonial laws. Just because it's provided doesn't mean that you're to jump from partner to partner just because.......... Marriage should be taken seriously and it takes work on the part of both parties involved. If we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us (John 14:26), and if we study(2Timothy 2:15), and get an understanding (Proverbs 4:7), then we won't be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14). All that I've stated can be found in the word of God. Search for yourselves. May the Lord open the eyes, ears, and heart of all who desires to know His truths.
There is no scripture that says if one didn’t know the scripture opposing remarriage before remarrying is forgiven. He or she is living in ADULTERY period !!!
Here it is, not a sin to remarry: 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 King James Version (KJV) 27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 28 But 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.re it is, it's not a sin to remarry:
Erik Sloan David or Abraham or Jacob wouldn’t be welcome in your fellowships. David’s way of divorce was to kill the husband and God blessed his marriage to Bathsheba and their heir became king of all Israel.Marriage is to be taken very seriously and the law says thou shalt not but grace says your forgiven and don’t sin anymore
Thanks for courage to stand on truth. But except for the last part. I believe a marriage is a marriage whether it’s prior to being a believer or while being a believer. A sin is a sin. It doesn’t matter if you sinned during the time without the knowledge of scripture or sinned as a believer. God bless.
@@garvinsmith4555 wrong. Only death of a spouse can free a person from the covenant of marriage. That’s why he instructs a wife to not divorce. If so, remain unmarried or reconcile to her husband.
God doesn’t punish the victim, Jesus said if a man divorces his wife,( except for immorality) he’s an adulterer. If his wife has committed adultery, he can divorce her and marry another. If a man commits adultery, divorces his wife, she is not an adulterer, she can remarry. You are putting burdens on others that you cannot bear yourself. Remarriage is not the unforgivable sin. Even looking at a woman and lusting after her makes a man an adulterer. There are not too many people that are not guilty of that. You lack understanding and compassion,and have limited Gods promise to forgive. Their innocence definitely makes a difference.
I could use some prayers and guidance. 10 years ago, I was not fully living for Christ....had knowledge but still much sin... and I was not very wise. I married a foreign woman here in the U.S. after meeting her in her country and revisiting her several times. I brought her here on a fiancee visa and against better judgement, I married her at LAST minute before she would have to go back....waited the full 1 year requirement because we just were not getting along once she got here. We joined church together and started growing in Christ, but we both had issues. Well, we separated after 1 year marriage. I never got divorce, but just started process. Have not been in touch this whole time and dont know where she is (U.S. or elsewhere). I heard recently she has a child now and is/was with someone else. I also had a child. I am completely repentant and changed now but not with anyone. My question is....do I complete divorce or just stay at married status? Doing everything now to live 100% for Christ and this truly concerns me. Thank you.
Definitely praying for you and your situation. Seek God is this question you have. I would say do everything you can to make it work with the woman you married. If she chooses not to work it out then let her leave. I would seek counsel on what to do next. Definitely pray and ask God if you are allowed to remarry. Jesus Christ states that the only way divorce is acceptable is due to sexual immorality. I am still not sure if one is able to marry if he or she is a victim of sexual immorality. I hope this helps some. Seek Jesus for the answer for he is the way, the truth and the life. God bless you @GlobalVenture Associates
@@crwnofenlightenment Thank you for your prayers. Very much appreciated. The scripture is very clear...neither party is allowed to marry after divorce, as long as the other is living. Although your state marriage contract is dissolved through the courts, in God's eyes, you are still one flesh with your spouse under the marriage covenant that the two of you estsblished with God. I have come to terms with that aspect. Was just wondering if I should complete divorce. As I understand it much better now, we both have valid cause for divorce. We both have a child, therefore we both committed adultery while married but separated, which is grounds for divorce. I don't know for sure, but do not see a reconciliation happening....especially if she is with someone else with kid now. It isn't something I desire, at least. Remember, there has been ZERO communication for 10 years. Who knows? Miracles do happen.
I was hoping to help you and you helped me. We helped each other. Look at the way God works. And you are more than welcome. We are supposed to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you for your response. May Jesus give you both peace.
Yes sir this topic is very difficult.. Being separated gives me peace of everything. Its not easy, its painful but thanks much for the grace of GOD. Though remarriage bothering me, the bible always gives me the right guidance regarding this matter. I guess, being single after separation is a great opportunity to be more intimate to JESUS CHRIST. I'VE WASTED A LOT FOR HIM AND I SINCERELY REGRET THAT. I don't know what will tommorow brings but what I believe is He have a good plan for me. To every person with same experienced like me, kindly please pray for each other that the LORD'S will in our lives must be fulfill. Not our desire but his will.
this teaching is controversial, because christians only want acept things on bible that are convenient for them, this biblie teaching upset people that is already remarried cause this comfront there sin, and not all are able to obey what bible really is saying.
I agree with everything he teaches up until he FOLDS when it comes to those who HAVE transgressed God’s teachings on marriage. He gives “permissions” to remain in adultery where scripture in no way does. Jesus never changes His declaration/label of the relationship He calls adultery......yet this pastor does.....smh. I came to my “hard” view through intense study! I have MANY remarried people in my family--even professing Christians, so my present view is not pleasant to say the least. However, I will not compromise the Truth to avoid the “blow back”. Jesus said what He said.......and He didn’t change it even when speaking in PRIVATE with His disciples (Mk 10:10-12). Also, Jesus did NOT make allowances for “ignorance”. Sin is sin, whether we see it as such when we do it or not. If this is the reasoning of this pastor, what about GAY people who are legally married......and then they are born again? Does he teach THEM to stay in their unions? Or does he teach that God joins adulterous relationships as One Flesh, but not homosexual ones?
Jesus forgives sins by his sacrifice on the cross. He didnt condemn the woman at the well with 5 husbands. Yes he said your first husband. What did Jesus do? He stayed with them for a few days. All those that are condemming will be condemned by God. There is nothing even murder which Christ can't forgive. All i see is hypocrites here which God does not dwell inside.These people Reminds me of the stoning of Mary Magdella. He who is without sin cast the first stone?? There is lots of stones of self righteous people here. We all know where they are going((
jhon rambo , study to show thyself approved comes to mind here doesn't it brother! Problem is not many and me being one up until recently was prideful and believed the same twisted scripture or misinterpreted scripture cause of you go back to the original Greek you will see that there is a major error with what this gentlemans teaching. i believe he really does mean well as i also did but i was ignorant as he also is. Apoluo and apostacion are two different things.
This is what I believe, even though my church does not teach this. Thank you for producing this video. But those already remarried may not engage in conjugal relations as it is adultery.
@sylviahofer, I have been celibate for over12 years. I want to do whatGod said. You have to make up your mind that you will follow Christ. That means, denying one’s flesh. Because I understand intimacy the way God said, I will honor it. Do I feel lonely sometimes, yes, but my reward is in Heaven not here on earth. God bless you.
I agree with everything taught but not you should remain in a adulterous marriage to keep your promise to them. Adultery sends you to hell. So, why stay in an adultery covenant if the 1st marriage is a covenant and cannot be broken accept for death of your spouse? Your promise is not to man or the 2nd marriage but your promise should be to God and to honor covenant with God in your 1st marriage to either reconcile or stay seperate. We are Gods bride. He did not remarry and create a new people he stayed seperate and reconciled to us because he is not a man that he should lie against his covenant to us nor repentant to us for remarrying. Only satan is the author of all lies and confusion (remarriage). If you are in a remarriage and choose to stay in it you are of satan and the truth is not in you. Repentance is not just words but instead actions. This means if you repent for adultery or fornication turn away from it or await hell fire.
Many in the comment section seem to fall over the last part of the video, where he says that if you are already remarried, you have to stay in that marriage. Many say that you have to separate from that person, because you live in adultery, which I understand. But I remember a scripture in the Bible stating that if you are already remarried, you can NOT go back to your first partner after the second divorce. I can't remember in which book of the bible this is mentioned., I think it is in Deuterenomy.
Christian are not under the Law, so Deut 24:1-4 does not apply to Christians. We follow what Jesus said and what the Apostle Paul wrote about divorce and remarriage. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 says that covenant spouses who divorce can be reconciled.
The second marriage was still adultery, but if the second husband dies, the wife is not to return to the first husband because she has been defiled after becoming another man’s husband.
I believe in God's grace more than mere circumstances that have destroyed my life. Is it my fault that my spouse chose alcohol over me, threw us into deep financial debts, abused me and was addicted to porn too ? We have no right to be self righteous. Jesus himself challenged the rules of the Jews, that's how change was brought about. We need to understand the context Jesus was talking in. He spoke at a time when women were at a serious disadvantage if divorced. He knows the pain I suffered through my marriage, and I also know the doors and opportunities he has opened for me after I healed. God's love and grace is more important than anything.
Matthew 19:9 clearly states that EXCEPT on the grounds of fornication. That means if the other spouse cheats you can divorce him/her and marry to someone else without committing a sin.
If your wife cheats on you, then she commits adultery, not fornication. Also, you don't have to put away an adulterous wife; she leaves on her own. The "except for fornication" clause means that if you take a wife, only to find out that she is not a virgin, then you may put her away for fornication and marry another. Except for that case, your wife is your wife for as long as you live and you may not put her away. But if she puts you away, for no fault of your own, then there is no scripture forbidding you from marrying a second wife in polygyny.
No it don't. When you can explain to me how a married couple commit fornication then you may have a point, but they can't and you need to study and pray and ask God what that meant in Matthew 19:9. And it is not what you think.
DanielJohn2300 adultery is a kind of fornication, as homossexuality is, or bestiality. Yahoshua was talking to Torah followers. They could easily understand what he was talking about, because the definition of fornication was given in Torah. He was explanaining that a men could not divorce for any reason, because the farisees where teaching that someone could get divorced for unreasonable things, sutch as salty dinner, in example. Since sex is marriage, in God's eyes, the only cause of divorce is betraying that covenant. That is why, also, the reason Yhwh divorced the Ten tribes of the northern Kingdom of Israel.
DanielJohn2300 I believe that scripture means that if you put away your wife because you want to cheat put her into a situation where she will commit adultery and any man that marries her will commit adultery as well as she does.
So, most astute nenita gao-ay....After 44 years of marriage, my 1st wife, without breathing a word, ran off with a former friend. After a couple of months, she did return, but it was far too late and I divorced her a couple of years later. Was I supposed to welcome her back with open arms? Thirteen years ago, while on a solo motorcycle trip, I met the woman who would become my 2nd wife and we have now been married over 10 years. She is everything my first wife wasn't, including being intelligent. Handsome la de dah Mel
@@nenitagao-ay5561 For some reason I just saw this for the 1st time. My 2nd wife is a 'no-nonsense' former Australian and is so many things my frist wife wasn't...including being smart and is a former grade school teacher in AU. Two days ago, we celebrated (together) my 65th High School graduation.....big turnout. I can hardly believe so many of my former classmates have made it into their early 80's.
I can’t find the passage that says adultery is a worse sin than lying and stealing or pride. We all sin/sinned and are forgiven. There is Gods perfect will and then there are sinners. God hates all sin but forgives because of His love for us. We are not perfect, we cannot be perfect. Expecting another to be as ‘good’ as ourselves is can be the sin of judging others. Each man must work out their own salvation with the Spirit of God. If this message is correct then we are all going to hell.
What about them not living for Christ before and during their marriage but after divorce they were led and found the Most High thus living for Christ? Doesn't the word say that we become new creatures therefore all sins have been removed?
Based on the truth that when we first repent of our sins we become newborn (with a fully new spirit), I believe a person who has become a Christian immediately cancels all his old covenants since he has died in Christ. Then when he is born again he is allowed to have a new marriage if he has been divorced before the time of his new birth. Once you are newborn, God makes all things new. So you may either stay in a new mutual covenent with your current spouse if he accepts to live with you as a Christian (why not try to save the family if you love them) or you are free to have a new covenant with your new spirit and marry another single believer only. The new covenant in both cases is until death.
I really like your presentation. That's good indeed. The word of God must be explained properly as you just did. Thanks so much for this topic of remarriage. I was intending to marry a divorce woman but now, l will not go ahead. It is really important to put God first. His laws are important for our days today living
It is ok to divorce and remarry if your spouse committed adulery. Jesus speaking in Mt 10:19 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery NOTICE: EXCEPT FOR THE CAUSE OF FORNICATION, they use the word fornication instead of adultry because the word for fornication not only means adultry but means ALL sexual activity out side of Gods ordained purpose of marriage of one man and one women. So after Jesus states except for fornication He then goes on to say "And shall marry another committeth adultery" So Jesus is clearly discussing the fact of remarrying in this scripture which He clearly states is adultery, EXCEPT FOR FORNICATION
“NOT UNDER “BONDAGE” BUT STILL BOND BY GODS MARRIAGE LAW!!! If the unbelieving depart..... let him depart. A brother or sister is not under the bondage of servitude [Greek word Douloo] because of the separation, but should intercede for the salvation of the departed one, praying for his/her salvation and for reconciliation. A Testimony from a Sister in Christ : Quote : But just to be clear, here is something I recently discovered: I finally looked up the Greek and compared what Paul said about a woman being bound to her husband as long as he lives (1 Corinthians 7:39), and how when the unbelieving spouse leaves, the other spouse is not 'bound' in such circumstances (1 Cor. 7:15). Did you know that 'bound' is two different Greek words in these verses? 1 Corinthians 7:39 A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord. 'bound' is the Greek verb 'deo' deó: to tie, bind Original Word: δέω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: deó Phonetic Spelling: (deh'-o) Short Definition: I bind Definition: I bind, tie, fasten; I impel, compel; I declare to be prohibited and unlawful. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin a prim. verb Definition to tie, bind NASB Translation bind (7), binding (1), binds (2), bound (23), imprisoned (4), prisoners (1), put...in chains (1), tied (4). Now, in 1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. 'bound' is the Greek word 'douloo' 1402. douloó ► Strong's Concordance douloó: to enslave, bring under subjection Original Word: δουλόω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: douloó Phonetic Spelling: (doo-lo'-o) Short Definition: I enslave Definition: I enslave. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 1402 doulóō - enslave (passive, "become enslaved"), focusing on the status of being a bond-slave. In contrast to the other verb-form of the same root (1398 /douleúō), 1402 (doulóō) stresses the results (effects) of enslavement. That is, what automatically goes with belonging to another. See 1401 (doulos). So there is a difference between the bond between a husband and wife (for life) and this being 'bound' or 'under bondage'. So I am still bound to my husband (married in God's eyes, no matter what man says), but not under bondage to him. He does not rule over me, but I am not free to marry someone else because he is still my husband. It is interesting that Paul says these two things in the same chapter First he says the believer is not 'bound' under the circumstance of their unbelieving spouse leaving them, and then he says that a wife is 'bound' to her husband as long as he is still living. It seems to contradict, but it doesn't. It's a different word. - Ricky B Pual says 1 Corinthians 7:10 10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11 But if she does, she Must Remain Unmarried OR else Be Reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. Then sandwiched in is Corinthians 7:15 a very unclear verse that Paul says “now I speak and NOT the Lord” and it gives no permission to remarry you have to add that to it, where all other verses do talk about remarrying. 1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace 1 Corinthians 7:39 “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 whom she wishes, only in the Lord.” Now Paul goes back to saying they are bound for life!!!!! So is Paul is bi polar? No. It is a different word. And the Greek says HAS not BEEN enslaved. “Not Bound”, No, HAS not been enslaved ( PAST TENSE! ) Written so that a spouse would not be conflicted to obey the husband and follow his pagan religion and honor her husband over following Jesus. Just like the movie “The Case For Christ” in which the husband gives an ultimatum “It is either me or your Jesus, which is it going to be?” This shows you are to pick your savior Jesus. Kehillah in Corinth I 7:14-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) 14 For, [T.N. following the principle of bikkurim], the ba’al who is an Apikoros is mekudash b’Ruach Hakodesh (set apart as holy in the Ruach Hakodesh) by the isha, and the isha who is an Apikoros likewise by the Ach b’Moshiach; otherwise, your yeladim(children) are tema’im (unclean); but now they are tehorim (clean). [MALACHI 2:15] 15 But, if the one who is an Apikoros(apostate- a person who renounces a religious or political belief or principle) separates and departs, let the separation occur; the Ach b’Moshiach(brothers in Moshiach) HAS not been enslaved(past tense), or the Achot b’Moshiach(sister in Moshiach) in such cases; but Hashem ('the Name’)- is used to refer to God, particularly as an epithet for the Tetragrammaton, when avoiding God's more formal title, Adonai ('my master’).)has given you a kri’ah b’shalom(calling peace). 16 For how do you know, isha(woman), if you will not bring your basherter (destined mate), your ba’al(Husband), to Yeshu’at Eloheinu (the Salvation of our G-d)?
Adopt. My cousin wanted to marry but did not find men willing to commit to marriage. She was not willing to be the perpetual girlfriend. She adopted and is a very happy mom of a child she got without fornicating.
At 35 you are still young you can still marry and have your own kids Never stop believing in God. Nothing is impossible with Him. Walk by faith not by sight my sister! 🙏🏽
Why does he say divorce is permitted in "repeated"cases of adultery?? Where in the Bible does the word "repeated" come up? It just says ADULTERY. Why is he adding, is this his own version of when divorce is permitted?
Yes, I understand but the commandment says "Thou shalt not commit adultery". Period. Not "Multiple times" or "repeatedly". It is up to the innocent spouse to decide whether or not they want to remain in the marriage. Adding to the Word of God is not necessary, it just seems he has a personal agenda to really be one-sided about things.
Callie Ballie There are several conservative views on divorce and remarriage. This pastor believes all remarriage is prohibited, even if the divorce had grounds in adultery. Other pastors believe remarriage is allowed if the unbeliever wishes to divorce a believer or was preceded by adultery. Still other pastors add to scripture by teaching that those remarried can’t be forgiven unless they leave their present spouse. They generally don’t make a distinction in the marriage from the adultery it caused. The best way to interpret this issue is to understand it from it’s historic or chronological unfolding. That way you see what the bible allowed and if divorce and remarriage actually was prohibited later. This issue flows from Moses to Christ to Paul. If your view has them contradicting each other, you don’t have the right view.
True. While he doesn’t get the exception right (Matt. 19:9) or the “no longer bound” (1 Cor. 7:15), he is to be commended for not adding the “divorce to repent” supposition to scripture. By the comments left there seems to a few people upset with him for not interjecting it into God’s Word.
The Scriptures tell us that God no longer winks at ignorance, you did very well with Scriptures or ( GODS WORDS+ up till the end of this video, You need to redo this & speak GODS truth in every Word, Even the end!
The passage you're referring to is found in Acts 17:30. In this context, Paul is comparing the One true God to all the pagan gods that surround him. He is telling folks that it is time to accept Jesus. This is not a verse about varying opinions on the topic of marriage, divorce and remarriage.
The divorce and remarriage for adultery doctrine is based solely on the supposed guilt of the wife in Matthew 5:32, and Matthew 19:9. However, the wife in Matthew 5:31-32 is clearly not guilty of fornication because the Jews that Jesus was speaking to were still living under the law, and if fornication was discovered, there was a moral obligation to report the offender according to Deuteronomy 22:13-24. The wife, who would have been found guilty of fornication, was subsequently stoned to death, according to the law, which had still governed the Jews up until Christ's death on the cross. The same for a woman caught in adultery, according to Leviticus 20:10. How could a wife, guilty of fornication, or adultery, under the law of Moses, be given a writing of divorcement and be caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her, that is divorced? Jesus is clear, in these examples, that the wife is not guilty of fornication, but is still caused to commit adultery if she marries another man now that she is divorced. This is the only way that Matthew 5:31-32, and Matthew 19:9 keep harmony with Romans 7:2-3, and 1 Corinthians 7:39. Unlike the synoptic gospels of Mark and Luke, which were written to evangelize the Gentiles, Matthew was written to the Jews, and has of 24 characteristics that identify it as intended for the house of Israel. The ancient Jews called the betrothed (engaged) "husband" and "wife" according to Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Matthew 1:18-25, and Luke 2:5-7. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage) was never for fornication or adultery. Allowing those guilty of fornication and adultery to remain living and become a prospect for remarriage was against the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22:13-24 and Leviticus 20:10, which commanded that those who were found guilty of fornication and adultery be put away from Israel, and stoned to death. The law of Moses was not given to the world, only to the Jews. From the exodus, to Christ's death on the cross, the law of Moses governed the Jewish people. But when Jesus died on the cross, he caused the Jews to be dead to the law of Moses so they could be joined to Christ under a New Covenant. This is what Jesus's fulfillment of the law of Moses, including Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage), means. Paul gave several warnings to Christian believers against keeping the law of Moses over following Christ and his commands under the New Covenant with Christ. Keeping the whole law is no longer possible for those in Israel and that is why Christ prophesied that the temple would be destroyed. These scriptures make it clear that if you choose the law over Christ, that you must keep the whole law: Romans 7:4, Galatians 3:1-9, Galatians 3:10-29, Galatians 4:1-7, Galatians 4:21-31, and Galatians 5:1-15. Being unequally yoked to unbelievers is not a cause for divorce, once two become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, according to 1 Corinthians 7:12-14. Many one-flesh covenant marriages between unbelievers are recognized by God in the scriptures, most notably the marriage covenants between Herodias and King Herod's brother Philip, Potiphar and his wife, Ahab and Jezebel, and Ruth to her deceased husband Mahlon by Boaz when he took her to be his wife. Some are teaching that 1 Corinthians 7:15 implies that those who are abandoned by the unbeliever, are "no longer bound" in a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The reason this is in conflict is due to the way they word it, which gives it an entirely different meaning, and context. 1 Corinthians 7:15, says, "15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace." As you can see, the actual scripture says "not under bondage," which means that the husband or wife is not enslaved to sin with the unbelieving spouse, and is free to worship Christ in peace. Subsequent translations have changed the words to imply that they nullify the marriage covenant, when this is not at all the case. The issue that this creates is with 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, which says, "10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife." As you can see, those who claim 1 Corinthians 7:15 has the Apostle Paul giving permission to remarry do not understand that the abandoned husband in 1 Corinthians 7:11 is expected to also remain unmarried, in order to be reconciled with his wife. The theory that 1 Corinthians 7:15 nullifies two as being one-flesh in marriage puts the Apostle Paul directly at odds with Christ, by implying that he has issued an opposing command. Some also teach that 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 is referring to both divorced men and virgin women, and not exclusively to men and women (virgins) who have never been married. This has been falsely taught for some time in churches as referring to anyone who is not currently in a marriage, which, for them, also includes those who are divorced. This is a very false assumption, and puts these verses in a different context, that is at odds with both the teachings of Christ and the apostle Paul. We see Paul refer to virgins, which signifies the unmarried who have never before been wed, which is the proper context here. We see Paul saying clearly that it is good for virgins, which is also speaking to never before wed men here, "that it is good for a man so to be." He goes on to say, "Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife." Who is he referring to here? Men who, like himself, have never married. The word "bound", in these verses, is a clear reference to betrothal (engagement) and not to a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The ancient Jews were considered bound as husband and wife during the betrothal (espousal/engagement) before becoming one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, through consummation. This is affirmed by the context of the term "bound" seen in Numbers 30:14-16. The Jewish couples in ancient Israel, who were betrothed (engaged) were also bound together until death, either by execution for fornication, or by other causes. Then Paul says, "But and if thou marry, thou has not sinned", which is who? The men who had never married in the congregation at Corinth. So he begins with verses 25-26 speaking exclusively to men that have never married. Paul then says, "and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned", which is speaking directly in regard to virgin women who have never been married, within the congregation, not divorced women. Notice that verse 34 says, "There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband." Paul speaks plainly when he says "there is a difference between a wife and a virgin." Paul goes on to say, "But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry." This is speaking of a virgin who has become of age to bear children when it says, "let them marry." This is a clear command, to a single man, who has taken a virgin to be his wife. Paul then says, "Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well." This is referring again to the single man who decides it is better not to marry, but to stay betrothed (engaged), under the present distress, by saying that he "hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin." Paul then says, "So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better", which again means single men, in the congregation, who have betrothed a wife, do well if they marry, and those who choose not to marry their virgin brides do better, under the current climate. For more proper context of the word "bound", let's look further down in this chapter to verse 39, which says, "39The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:39). For so long, these scriptures, between verses 25-38, have been twisted and used to enable divorce and remarriage, by wayward churches and teachers, and have caused many to stumble and to be trapped in unscriptural unions. The use of the woman at the well, in regard to marriage, falsely implies that Christ was endorsing remarriage after a divorce. This teaching is in defiance of Matthew 22:23-28, which shows a woman who had been widowed seven times, and entered into each subsequent marriage without any scriptural conflicts with God's law of marriage (one-flesh covenant) seen in Genesis 2:23-24. Mark 10:1-12 and Matthew 19:1-12 both record Christ's teaching that day beyond the Jordan. There is no mention of the words "fornication", "writing of divorcement", or "divorced" in Mark's Gospel, because Mark was not written to the Jews (as Matthew's Gospel was), but to evangelize the Romans and Greeks, who had no knowledge of the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22 or Deuteronomy 24. All of these facts draw a clear understanding that remarriage after a divorce, under the New Covenant with Christ, is a scripturally false and baseless teaching. Please use wisdom when living in a situation against what the scriptures command.
Dear Pastor, You referred to Luk16:18 "For example, a man divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery. And if anyone who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery" This verse is plainly stated and understood. But I have two real life events and appreciate your comments please. Case #1 How about this case, where a woman and man, they were legally married in church and after sometime the woman just abandoned her husband and left the country without any notice thus reconciliation on the part of the husband was not possible. Now the husband remarried again in church, would he be considered as committing adultery? Case #2 This couple was legally married in a church and I was called to be a witness to their wedding. After approx 3 years the woman filed for a divorce in a civil court for "irreconcilable differences" and the court approved their divorce. The woman proceeded to marry a Muslim man but after sometime the man remarried an unmarried Christian woman in church. Would they be committing adultery as well? Thank you.
Your life should be focused of doing what pleases the Lord; not on what pleases you. Jesus paid the ultimate price (His life) so that we could have salvation. So, when you become a true born-again believer in Christ, you are no longer your own, but you are Christ's. "For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s (1 Corinthians 6:20)". Living for Jesus and obeying His word is worth it. We only live on this earth a very short time compared to eternity. "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us (Romans 8:18)."
You don't have to remain single for the rest of your life simply because your former husband did not honor his marital vows. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you are not free to remarry, including the person in this video.
@@dh605x Your husband by behavior may not be a believer, he has abandoned you. You are free to remarry but in the Lord and with understanding, if they are divorced, their circumstances, if it was on biblical grounds. There is much to consider but you are free to remarry, read the word, study and see God.
Wow yall are rolling on law?? Christ is the law in the flesh. Yes marriage should be for life, but things do happen. Some of you are lifting marriage above murder or in the same category as blasphemy of the holy spirit...you negate grace and mercy. What was the point of marriage??? So that a man and woman escape sin...fornication. So according to most of you a person finds themselves divorced and no they are not like Paul in fact 99% of the population isnt like Paul. So that means they are in a perpetual sin state of thinking and longing for intimacy but cannot for THE REST OF THEIR LIVES??? HELLO?? Christ stated if you think it..you have already committed the sin.....so theres no path for the person???? And no I dont condone divorce.
Nobody is lifting marriage above any sin but what we are saying that you must turn from all your sin murder and what have you. so that includes adultery. You people somehow think that god will excuse adultery and let you continue in that sin and be saved, but I have to turn from murder, stealing, lying and everything else. This is the price you pay for heaven. You have to deny yourself and pick up your cross and follow Christ. Do you know what deny yourself means? And on your 99%, the bible say few will make it to heaven.
J Harting, I could back up what you said here with scripture, but right here you are just using common sense. Amazing. Can we call what's taught here "will worship?" Or Pharasitical?
Ok , Then what about a spouse gets a divorce from you after 25 years of marriage, then 6 years later wants to get back with you? Is this the only person you are allowed to marry? Sounds like the answer would be Yes! I worked hard to stay married but gave up when for the third time asked for the divorce! I finally agreed! I was hurt once the divorce papers came in. How can this happen to me? Now after a few years reconsiliation comes up and I am surprised! I thought it was over and even brought up the problems during a conversation. Seems that I was missed and finally appreciated after being with others on dates. No one like me! I do care and like this person as a friend not as a spouse. I can forgive but have some trouble with forgetting the issues I had. Hurt feelings and to some degree emotional abuse. I want companionship and marriage but not sure if this would be a case of hurt me once shame on you, hurt me twice shame on me! Trust is an issue! We do get along but is that only because I don't have to deal with any issues anymore? Concerned that things will go back to the old ways of living. So the death of this person is my only hope? This is terrible! I don't want anything to happen like that and I am there when help is needed and vice versa. I get lonely from time to time and desire the bond between a man and woman. I feel doomed to being single for the rest of my life or married to someone who may or may not be good for me. We are both healthy and active. Our ages are 70 and 62. I know we are up in age and our companionship possibilities are getting smaller as the years continue. I have watched my mother remain single after the divorce from my dad. She is still alive and my dad died 20 years ago. She is alone and needs family to keep her feeling loved and appreciated. We don't always have a lot of extra time to visit her. Is that my end? I hope not!
According to Deut 24 you are not to remarry someone who already was with another spouse. I disagree though about how you are taught to remain single. Your spouse ended reconciliation when she got with another person. You are free to remarry, only in the Lord.
@@lastone2145 Well my ex hasn't married anyone else but wants to get back with me!. I am missed and finally appreciated! Not interested in rekindleing those fires again due mostly to lack of trust on my part mostly. Just remembering the low parts of our relationship has me concerned about future events possibly. Not that I hate just I lack trust and no desire. Again, the message here still sounds like I am suppose to forgive(thats fine) and forget(this is hard) and get remarried if I want to be married. Do you have any other piece of scripture releasing me of my situation?
@@denisng174 Remarriage to a former spouse you can't trust is certainly not mandatory. Remarriage to someone else is something you will have to pray about. Choosing who is the issue. I see people end up remarrying a different person too much like what caused their first divorce. There needs to be a clearing of yourself in any event that there is no longer something spiritual attached that attracts the wrong kind of person. I'd seek counsel and prayer about what your future holds and how to get closer to the Lord. I almost ended up with the wrong person, but the Lord told me to break up and I did. He later told me He had someone else for me. My first marriage is going to be my last because through God's leading I found the right person. I had to be led because none of this is simple. Been married for 42 years now. In my case I do believe God joined us together. We did have problems about 4 years into it, but God led us and helped us heal. What I can tell you that shows the teaching like this video to be scripturally unsound is to explain context and tense of verb. Plus they are adding to the word when they say you are in continual adultery if you remarry after divorce. Here it is: The term "living in adultery" or "still married in the eyes of God" is a Catholic doctrine that came about in the 15th century. This interpretation was never found in any of the church father's writings or before the 15th century. The Catholic Church wanted to decide who gets to be married or not (divorced). What about abuse, gambling, addictions, physical abuse and threats? Jesus always took the side of the oppressed. Jesus always appealed for the ideal but recognized the real. Remaining married is always right but it is not always best. Sometimes divorce is the "lesser of the two evils." God even divorced Israel: "I observed that it was because unfaithful Israel had committed adultery that I had sent her away and had given her a certificate of divorce" (Jeremiah 3:8). Even if someone divorces for the wrong reason and later realizes the error and repents, divorce is sin, but not unpardonable. Now for the position that Matthew 19:9 is talking about "continuing" to commit adultery: In the original, written in Greek you have to note context. For example: "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure, buried in a field that a man found and reburied. Then in his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field" (Matthew 13:44; emphasis added). He does not continue to buy a field. It cannot be said that the man kept on buying the field. This is a common use in the Greek. In this verse: "Send her away because she cries out after us" (Matthew 15:23; emphasis added), the situation involves the continual tense: "she continues to cry out." In 1 John 1:7, "But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses (continually cleanses) us from all sin," what we have in Greek is known as the "gnomic" present, and the limits of time on both sides of this type are not defined. It is known as a general truth and continuity is not under consideration here. As in Matthew 7:17, "every good tree produces good fruit...," there is no reference to time. Thus, we might read that "every time the incident of divorce occurs" it is one act of sin (one isolated act of sin) and there is no continuation. If you have been divorced, it is a one-time sin, not continual. You committed it, you are forgiven, and you move on. This is teaching I copied but do not necessarily believe divorce is always a sin. But even if you are discussing this with the ultimate legalist, you can certainly take this stand about forgiveness. Good teaching here: ruclips.net/video/aVY7S2UOd1s/видео.html You can't go wrong learning from balanced teaching where they know the original languages. (sorry so long an explanation)
so the part where he said if you are married now after a divorce and you were not explained this or did not know ..you do not have to leave your spouse....I don't know about that..if I were anyone I would be seeking God's counsel through His word..rather than leaning on my own understanding...
How about it's a difference of interpretation. Agree to disagree. You have doctrine taught here that takes things out of context, reads only part of the text, ignores the O.T. Examples? I'd give them to you if you really wanted to know.
Jesus forgives sins by his sacrifice on the cross. He didnt condemn the woman at the well with 5 husbands. Yes he said your first husband. What did Jesus do? He stayed with them for a few days. All those that are condemming will be condemned by God. There is nothing even murder which Christ can't forgive. All i see is hypocrites here which God does not dwell inside.These people Reminds me of the stoning of Mary Magdella. He who is without sin cast the first stone?? There is lots of stones of self righteous people here. We all know where they are going((
Lol. Truth. Sad but true. Convince yourself you're not in hell. That is so real. Funny to read in the comments but a very hard and sad truth for a lot of people
Everyone is saying they agree with him until the ending statement. However, God will not hold you accountable for your sins if you did not know it was a sin. So, in the case of remarried couples that find God later in life, are they to divorce as well. I wonder 🤔
To all the psychopaths saying he's wrong at the end, think about what you're saying for two seconds. The man said if the couple divorced and remarried IN IGNORANCE of what the scriptures say, then they are not bound to abandon their current relationship. He's paraphrasing Acts 17:30 where it says God overlooks what we did BEFORE WE WERE AWARE of the truth, but from this point on commands us to discontinue sinning. Why would God's solution to divorce and remarriage be ANOTHER divorce? How much pain do you self-centred bigots want a couple to go through? Its disgusting that so many people honestly think the solution to suffering is more suffering. When Jesus forgave prostitutes, He never told them "ok now I want you to go back and undo all your harlotry, go and un-sleep with all the men you slept with". He told them "go and sin no more". That is to say what's done is done but from this point in you are a new creation in Me, don't abuse that fact. Don't cause unnecessary pain for people already heavy laden with guilt. The bible is not telling them they need to have a second divorce. It's telling them yes they were wrong to have had the first, but now make your second marriage work. God have mercy on our conceited hearts.
Chris L STUDY THE WORD! DON'T JUST READ IT AND CHERRY PICK. Ask for revelation! God told the adulterer "GO AND SIN NO MORE!" NOT go and keep sinning. With that mentality then there will be no sacrifice at all.
Steven James you misunderstand! That does not means there is no more Law! Christ does not contradict Abba nor himself. Matthew 5:17-19. Since all prophecy concerning Christ is not fulfilled the Law remains! Christ being the end of the Law means if you are renewed in Christ, The Holy Spirit now guides you by Grace to keep the commandments! For that is the Love of God 1 John 5:3. Any who say otherwise is a Liar 1 John 2:3-7
You are not the true believer because the bible say go and sin no more. If you truly repent (which means turning from that sin) you won't stay in the remarriage if your first husband/wife is alive. Why you all think that you can turn from all other sins, but God is going to make an exception to adultery and let me stay in it against his word and still go to heaven. It is not going to happen.

Thank you for this message. I am going through a divorce because my beautiful wife of 32 years left me for another weasel/man and I have looked over and over for a loophole to remarry. I found nothing and believe the church is flooded with adulterous remarriage. Muchas gracias
I'm sorry for your loss and I know how you feel but your wife has now become an adulterous because she's marrying another man while you're still living so God does not honor what she's doing she will be living in a state of adultery everyday until she repents and leaves that second marriage
Read all the Word. Deut 24 for example. Then recognize what the original greek actually says in the N.T. The bible never contradicts itself. When it seems to it's mis-translation. Look up verses where there are tools to see the original wording. (blueletterbible.org) Many times "let go" and divorce were interchanged when they weren't supposed to be. Dig in and you'll learn.
Very much agreed with LA Stone. We must go back to the Greek and Hebrew meanings. The verses are so much different when applied correctly.
Doug ,me too 20 years 3 children ,my wife never wanted to seek biblical counseling walked out on me too messing around with different men and seeing these knuckle head guys driving cars we had together , I'm still going THROUGH the pain of my family being destroyed but I found no answer for me to remarry but just listen to God word and rejoice in my trials ..there no way around it
In order to understand this subject Hermenuetics must be applied. You must understand who Jesus was talking to, how he was answering the questions, and the state of the Jewish culture on marriage at that time. You also have to look at the original translations. Jesus was addressing the pharisees because they were putting there wives away for reasons that were ridiculous like not cooking right. Plus two individuals had just divorced their spouses to marry each other. The pharisees were trying to trick Jesus into commenting on that issue. Thus why John was beheaded.
I know many single individuals who got divorced and were not looking whatsoever and God sent godly man or woman into there life, they got remarried and have some of the most wonderful relationships and ministry.
Remember David committed adultery then married Bathseba, Hoshea married a prostitute, Moses married an Ethopian woman, the women at the well Jesus forgave, five husbands, and he did not say go back to your first.
I found this out to be true by experience. I was cursed to leave my wife and remarry another. I lost my family, lost my children, lost my ministry, lost my job. Now 11 years later, God drove out my second spouse and 8 years later brought my first wife and 2 additional sons back into my life. I have learned to listen to God's Spirit to the "T" from this point on.
Brother @Steve Oosterhof, can we talk a bit further on this please?
What a beautiful testimony brother!
@@kinaxixe God is good.
@@BeardedGalaxy God is good.
Additional sons??? Means from another man?
My wife divorced me. She is believing but has not given her life to Christ and become a new creation. I am committed to walking in celibacy, I can't date or take on a different spouse. While I wish I was married and had a wife that was born again and loved me, but I will take on this responsibility and enjoy my bride relationship with my spouse Jesus. It has brought me closer to God since he has more than made up with love and growth in my relationship with my Abba father. I only hope Jesus has a plan for me to walk in greater boldness since I no longer have to answer to my spouse. I no longer have to worry about her or her needs.
It is ok to divorce and remarry if your spouse committed adulery Jesus speaking in Mt 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Also again in Mt 10:19 NOTICE: except for the cause of fornication, which is actually all sexual activity out side of the marriage of one man and one women. Adultery is a reason according to Jesus
@@raymondmitchell6 I read that verse as except for the cause of formication, CAUSETH her to become an adulteress (means he does not CAUSETH her to commit adultery because fornication is already there in the marriage)
Ian L doing right
Brother, you do not have to live by these rules of men. The Bible is clear...If your spouse abandons you, you are not under bondage.
@@DerrickH1969 That's right not under bondage also,
Luke 20:35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come & in the resurrection from the dead no longer marry, or are given in marriage, & can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection.
Revelation 21:8 ... ALL liars - they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulphur. This is the second death.
When two become one flesh in marriage, it can only be broken through death. If you remarry you are not married in God's eyes but you are an adulterer. Romans 6:1-2, "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2v. God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"
In order for you not to commit adultery, you must divorce your current spouse and remain single until your original spouse dies. I was married for 20 years and my ex-wife committed adultery on me. We went to counseling but she wouldn't do her share of the work to keep our marriage together. I have been divorced for over 6 years. She remarried 2 years ago. I started trying to date after 3 years of being divorced and wonder why relationships never would work out. Now I know. The Lord was trying to save my soul from going to hell because an Adulterer can not inherit the Kingdom of God. I have prayed for the "Gift" that the Apostle Paul said that he was given by God to remain unmarried. Believe me, it is a gift that can only come from God. Blessings
Ivory Perry III Amen hallelujah...me too facing the same thing,i been 6 years divorce of my ex husband because he getting remarry to another women...iam just waiting for God's word.until this minute i did not dare to have a relationship with a man.iam always getting afraid how if i commit sin with that way
Dewi Sonita, Amen my Sister-In-Christ. I pray for reconciliation on your behalf, but If your husband chooses to marry another woman then my prayer for you is Grace from God to remain unmarried until His return. Marriage is not worth your soul in hell. Walking with Jesus Christ in the New Jerusalem will be worth it all in the end. Blessings.
Ivory Perry III Amen...please put me in your prayer dear brother in Christ,so my faith will not going fate,and i will pray for your faith also...Jesus Christ blessing us,Amen.
Dewi Sonita, Amen you are in my prayers. Receive God's grace to help you through your dark times. He brings light to our dark situations.
Ivory Perry III Amen hallelujah,glori be to God,,,thanks a lot brother,,,Jesus christ bless you
Once married, always married until death do us part, without exception. This applies to all human beings.
at the 16 Minute mark you fully undid everything you just said, for 15 minutes. John the Baptist called for the King to divorce his brothers wife, Paul said do not even associate with the man who married his fathers wife. Scripture calls for the end of adultery marriage, and end the relationship. What you are saying, is continue in the adultery, this is contrary to what scripture teaches.
AMEN
This.
You're confused!!!!!
@JC Clinton who do you follow? You follow Christ and miss your way by wandering off following Him. And you come to your senses and still want to stay in the path where you lost your way?
You are absolutely right. You can't keep on sinning by staying in adultery. You must repent and stay single and chaste or if God makes a way, reconcile with the covenant spouse. I mistakenly had this one on my divorce and remarriage adultery playlist. My channel has done many videos about the permanence of marriage and divorce and remarriage is adultery unless the first spouse is dead. Jesus is Lord, and any day He will rapture His bride/church. Maranatha.
Wait a minute. When a person becomes aware of the sin, should they not repent of it and STOP it a.s.a.p.? Seems to me a remarriage after divorce, while previous spouse is still alive, must be annulled or voided so as to put an end to the continuous adultery.
You would be correct ma am.
Amen
Amen
Preach it, my friend 🙌
@Susan Ann Brunt how about when Jesus said in Matthew 5:32
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Jesus made an exception, not only death but if your spouse commited adultery
The lack of the cultural and historical context in the understanding of Mosaic / Talmudic / New Testament teachings concerning marriage, the divorce certificate, adultery, and remarriage is why sophomoric teachings like this fall flat. Most people don't realize that there were two Jewish schools of thought on this subject when Jesus was physically on Earth. One school saying a man can divorce his wife for any reason and the second saying the only reason was due to sexual immorality or "adultery". The point of contention being the issuance of a "certificate of divorce" by the first husband which allowed the woman to legally remarry. If the second husband divorced her or died she could not remarry the first husband. Jewish law. Jewish tradition.
Since most western Christians have little to no contextual understanding of the bible and simply believe the bible was "written to them" , their time, their cultural viewpoint (American), their understanding of scripture is imprecise. Not understanding that the bible is a Jewish book about a Jewish messiah, coming to the Jewish people, the people of and under the law. The majority of what Christ taught was directed at the people who would ultimately reject him. Christ fulfilled the requirements of the law. Completely. You either believe this or you don't.
For the Church marriage is a union reflective of the relationship between Christ and the Church in the context of the Church age. It is a union meant for procreation and a way of escaping sexual immorality. It is meant for life because we are to flee all sin for life. It is however not perfect because we aren't perfect. Religious dogmatism does not equal personal holiness. Judgement without mercy is also condemned. James 2:13.
Do you lie? Do you repeatedly lie? Will you go to hell for repeatedly lying? Do you steal? Do you repeatedly steal? Will you go to hell as a Christian for stealing? Do watch pornography? Do you repeatedly watch pornography? Will you go to hell as a Christian for repeatedly watching pornography?
The last time I checked there's only one unforgivable sin and it's not "remarriage". Who really has the hard hearts law givers?
Robert Floyd, Yes! Finally some common sense brother. If people would just look at the Greek meanings in these verses and keep things in context then they could put this issue to bed. Thank you for your voice of wisdom!
So are you saying that the new testament was written only to and for Jews?You make some generalisations that need to be looked at more carefully, although some of the new testament is gender specific , private letters, historical fact , ETC, there are many directives on how gentiles should conduct themselves ..... would you have us believe that the statements about , "Marriage , Divorce, Fornication , Adultery. and remarriage and its effects , are covered by, as you put it....."The last time I checked there's only one unforgivable sin and it's not "remarriage". Who really has the hard hearts law givers?".( I haven't seen that scripture)It reads like unless you commit the "Unforgivable sin"......you cant go to the "Lake of Fire"?
No one is saying that remarriage is an unforgivable sin. He is saying that JESUS taught that it is a sin and ought not to be done. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
@@FreedomsNurse Please help ‼ I was married for 25 years. My unbelieving abusive cheating lying ex husband left divorced me and married someone else.

What about the scripture that says if an unbeliever leaves you you are not bound to them ? Please comment! Thanks Gina 🙏🙏🙏
@@ginagregg6642 Death is the only thing that breaks the marriage covenant. Read Romans 7:2-3 and 1 Corinthians 7:39. If you remarry before your covenant spouse dies, you will be committing adultery (Mark 10:11-12 & Luke 16:18). If an unbeliever leaves, you are still married to them and are not free to remarry. Many people have made untrue assumptions that 1 Corinthians 7:15 allows the abandoned spouse to remarry because they were looking for a way to remarry, yet in the same chapter in verse 39, it says that only death sets someone free from the marriage thus allowing them to remarry. 1 Corinthians 7:15 means that you are not bound to try to force the unbelieving spouse to remain married to you if that person wants to leave you. You are to do the peaceable thing and let that person go if that is what he/she wants to do. Trying to force the person to stay is not a peaceful thing to do. Please focus on drawing close to the Lord. He can fill any loneliness in your life if you let Him. I know because He has given me joy and peace as a live in obedience to His Word.
This was music to my ears until the very end. You really have a way with words and you were really explaining it very thoroughly and very nicely until the end. How did you get such a deep revelation on marriage but you don't understand that a remarriage is adultery? At what point does the person cheating turn that relationship into a holy marriage blessed by God just because they said a vow? Running up to the altar while committing adultery doesn't qualify you for marriage, it just confirms your ignorance of God's word. All they did was make a vow to keep committing adultery. You cannot state that divorce is wrong and then turn around and say but if you're remarried you're good. I don't know if you're a real Pastor. You sound like you're trying to confuse the flock and keep people on the road to hell in my opinion.
I thought the same thing he explained it so clearly and well till near the end then he blew up everything. so sad
You are spot on I am in this situation and am working to get out of this marriage. While the person I am now married to does not want it to end I know beyond a doubt that this is wrong. My fist hush is now deceased his first wife is still very much alive. I did not know about this when I married him. But I know now and want out.
@@diannewalker8725 Praise God for revealing this Revelation to you. I know in our day and age a lot of people don't think twice about dating and marrying a divorced person, it's so commonplace.

@@tawanaharris4600 We all have to discern the word of God by seeking His wisdom. For example, if a young man/woman got married and divorced at the age of 20 are you saying that they are to remain unmarried for the rest of their life?
Paul said that’s it’s better to marry than to burn in passion. Paul also said that in order to be an elder in the church you have to be a husband of only one wife. Paul had to address this matter because Jewish law allowed for a husband to have more than one wife.
God is looking at our hearts and not based on the law. For example, most people would say that King David is in heaven and I believe that as well however, David had several wives but God never accused him of committing adultery until he took another man’s wife.
We all have to discern the Bible correctly because if we don’t we can mistakenly place people back under the law and not grace.
You need to leave the second person you married and remain single. Repentance is not continuing in adultry which leads to hell.
Yeah I was surprised when I heard him say this at the end I agree with you I agree with the word
I agreed with you about everything until the very end when you said that the remarried spouse's should stay together because I for one believe that God does not want divorce and remarriage so if I'm praying for my husband to come back to me the second marriage is not a legal marriage so I'm praying that God will help my husband to repent come back to God and come back to me. ? ...see?
I agree with you Alice. Standing for our marriage is honorable and right before God, hoping for restoration. A remarriage while the spouse is still living is adultery.
He is referring to Abraham and hagar. The angel told her to return to her mistress .the law back then if a man lay with her that was single her food and clothing he shall maintain and he shall not put her away as long as he lives deut 22. V 28-29
alice4him945 You are wrong,and he is right. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 is about divorce and remarriage. The passage tells us that a man or woman cannot return to a former spouse and marry him or her if the former spouse had subsequently married another person. Here is the passage,
Deuteronomy 24:1-4 If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, 2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, 3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, 4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

*At **15:19** He said Jesus calls ALL remarriages adultery. But then he contradicts himself and said at **15:45** concerning people that are already remarried, if they done so in ignorance, or if the scripture was not explained to you, no that God does not consider you to be in adultery. You are not required to return to your first spouse, and in fact should not according to instruction of scripture....*
*I totally disagree with that because the only thing that end a marriage is death, and if your first spouse is alive, Paul said if you be married to another you are committing adultery, and that goes for whether you knew it or not, and he was correct when he said Jesus calls ALL remarriages adultery, ALL remarriages would include if you remarried before you heard the truth, it's still adultery and one must get out of that adulterous second marriage or they are still in sin,*

I couldn't help but notice that near the end of this teaching, when the everlasting "grace" of MAN took over, the use of scripture abruptly ceased. What a sad ending to an otherwise sound and accurate teaching.
Messiah's Words First I know very sad he almost had it correct he should have just stuck with scripture
What you guys reality mean is this pastor didn’t add to scripture like you two do. This type of interpretation is called eisegesis - the interpretation of a text (as of the Bible) by reading into it one's own ideas.
No where in the bible does it teach the “divorce to repent” supposition. Nowhere!!!!!
I understand how you get your deduction but no writer of scripture came to that conclusion, only those who add to scripture do.
Neal Doster are you serious you can't see that clear contradiction at the end. It was no need for him to correctly say way scripture says and then at the end go against it pointless and causes confusion.
@ Servant Arphaxad
On the point you’re making this pastor didn’t contradict scripture, he contradicted your supposition.
Neal Doster be honest come on now really
Agree with general consensus below. There is no ground for remarriage unless the covenant is broken on death. Doctrines of devils creeped in towards the end. You also negated to touch on the importance of repentance throughout. Seek Jesus for clarity brother. We do not serve a God of confusion. God bless.
That's what I say!!
@Paul Ruffin You are using Deuteronomy 24 as your basis, and that doesn't apply in these cases, because it refers to him leaving her because of an "issue of uncleanness". That is not the case when an adulterous partner leaves the innocent spouse and remarries someone and commits adultery. Now if both parties are already remarried, I can see how it may be better to keep it that way because the innocent party moved on already, and they are at peace. But if they are praying for God to turn their spouses heart back to their covenant marriage, then it would be wrong to punish the innocent party and say No you cant go back to her. Insanity!
Paul Ruffin the Lord didn’t expect a second marriage for any whether free or bound so they have to separate and REPENT !!!
He is preaching to match his very own situation. He is so determined to be right , his message isn't seasoned with the Holy Spirit. I bet you if his wife divorces him tomorrow, his message will change
Where are the biblical grounds that says one should stay in the second marriage? So then are you saying God will change his law because of ignorance?
Your question starts from false supposition. When divorce was conceded so was the right of remarriage (Deut. 24:2). The first marriage was prohibited from being reconciled (v.4). The second marriage was a binding marriage to which absolutely no one from scripture instructs to be dissolved, NO ONE in either Testament.
What "law" are you referring to?
Jason Peters God says that he doesn't change so people will continue to believe that they can divorce their spouse so basically trade in chicken for turkey.
@@dorneeeuring6103 Did you even read Deut 24?
You must remember Jesus didn't come to change the law he came to fulfill it so if God is against divorce so is his son is us as a people that are continuing to allow adultery to take place in the church and if you are pastor and you marry somebody that has a living spouse you sending that person to hell and you going right with them for marrying them
@@lastone2145 yes I read it but Moses wrote that Moses isn't God God never made divorce if you would have made it you would have said so in the beginning after he constituted marriage so even if you get out of a marriage you can't we married unless your spouse dies no exceptions
All good up until the advice on second (3rd, 4th, etc. marriage), once it is revealed to a man, woman or couple that they are in a state of adultery because of divorce and remarriage, they must repent, they must uncouple. Repentance without restitution makes a mockery of the whole concept of repentance. Try preaching that in today's churches!
It is always possible the original (covenant) marriage can be restored (I've seen it happen and it is awesome to behold), if not God will give grace to enable a single and Holy life. Once your eyes are open to this truth, God requires decision and action!
You missed the Lord’s point. Remarriage never was the adultery. Jesus was criticizing divorce and He did so by revealing what it caused for remarriage. God had not forced singleness on Israel even though they inadvertently committed this manner of adultery. Divorce is the primal cause because it prematurely ends a marriage therefore staging remarriage to violate the “faithfulness until death” responsibility. Jesus taught that divorce causes one to commit adultery when they remarry, not the marriage is the adultery. The focal point of criticism was on divorce. This manner of adultery is a two factor or two cause adultery, not one factor. Remarriage causes adultery because of divorce. That was the Lord’s point and that is why He admonished Israel to stop separating the one-flesh union (Matt. 19:6). That was His only instruction on this issue. Jesus did not teach that more divorce was the answer to this predicament. Neither did anyone else in scripture.
Agreed!
Nice opinions, but you need Scripture to back up your opinions. They "must uncouple," where is that found in the Bible? "Repentance without restitution makes a mockery of the whole concept of repentance." Where is that in the Bible? Nowhere in the Bible does it say you have to have to correct every wrong committed once repentance occurs. All interesting opinions, but that is all they are, man's opinions. Nowhere do we ever read of God telling someone to break up a marriage. There are so many opinions flowing around, but very little Bible.
GordonJensenVideos that's because these weak minded preachers are caught up in the flesh and is leading alot of people to hell teaching that God will bless an adulterous marriage. You'll get thrown out of churches for preaching against sin. What are these people going to church if they're going to be Sinners anyway
@@martin9410 Is it that hard to understand that repentance carries a change of mind ? A turning away ? It is the basic concept of the Bible , isn't it ?

you talk 99% the truth but at the end the one 1% you lie which affects the 99% true. you can't remain in a remarried unions that God call adultery. how can God bless a remarried that he call adultery even you dont know the scripture before ???? you're a preach that bring people's to hell instead of the kingdom of heaven. God grace doesn't cover sin otherwise i remain in my sin and have the hope to go heaven. we have the grace of God when we have sin and we need to ask God for forgiveness and repent and turn away from that sin.
Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound, God forbid. This man is a liar.
He spoke the truth up to the end and if you offend in one point you are quilty of all. He is a deceiver.
He does say at the end ONCE you have the knowledge then you are accountable. So then you are ok in the remarriage. That is how i took it anyway.
listen, i was so disappointed at this message at the end. I pray for this teacher Lord, I pray that the spirit of truth will minister to him and he will repent for misleading people. Everything else he mentioned was on point, except the end............ hope he addresses it sometime soon. Peace 🙏
@@samanthajohnson5958 that is exactly how I felt. Very inconsistent with what he teaches throughout the whole message, that if the cheating spouse remarries he is not allowed to return to the innocent spouse whom he may have children with as well. She is at home standing and waiting and praying for her husband to come to his senses and this preacher is stating that he CANT return to her. He is implying that the adulterous marriage is more binding than the covenant marriage. That is just wrong!!!
He ruined it at the end by compromising. How can he says that?! Stay in your remarriage. The Lord will see you through, you should be separated but also provide for your children from that adulterous remarriage of course. You are in ignorance no longer even if you were in the first place. Yes, it's hard teaching and the disciples said that was it not better therefore not to get married. So sad to let it down at the end, if he's a pastor maybe he is afraid half his church will leave.......
Absolutely correct! You cannot teach that marriage is PERMANENT, then when you come to those who disobeyed (through ignorance or willfully--scripture NEVER addresses that), completely go against all you previously taught on the marriage covenant. Sigh........
You are right there is nothing to say if you repent and then remain in the sin it is ok. Repent means walking away from the sin anything else is delusion.
A man that divorces his wife, and his divorced wife marries another man it is an abomination to the Lord for that man to marry her again.
@@macc0827 where does it say this?
earlydawn8183 Wouldn't it be hurtful to leave your second spouse and caused him to fall if you leave him. He has been good to you and suddenly you want to leave. Do you know going back to your first husband is detestable to the Lord?
Deuteronomy 24:1-4 is about divorce and remarriage. The passage tells us that a man or woman cannot return to a former spouse and marry him or her if the former spouse had subsequently married another person. Here is the passage,
Deuteronomy 24:1-4 If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, 2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, 3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, 4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
This man is in error where he is telling people they can stay in an adulteress marriage if they are in that state once they receive the knowledge of the truth. Everything he said prior to that means nothing with his ending. He contradicts his own self. God is not the author of confusion. If he means no remarriage while first husband/wife lives, he means that, and if you are in an adulteress marriage you have to come out to be right with God, because the bible say NO adulterers or adulteress will inherit the kingdom of God. What happen to the part of the bible that say go and sin no more? You think god makes exceptions only for adultery. No he does not!!! Stop teaching this heresy or you shall receive the GREATER CONDEMNATION!
Separation and divorce is a very sad situation in any family.💔💔
I had no choice my husband no longer wanted to be married, I tried, was abused,emotionally and physically, he cheated,drank alot then drugs and eventually I left .Went back to work due to threats of kidnapping my 2 year old and stalking, harassing...I divorced him ...he said he didn't want to be married he was on drugs mocked GOD and has nothing to do with our son who is 17.....but I know I must stay single until death. I agree the end is wrong
Melissa Mckinney he’s not saying that you should remarry. However, if you were remarried for the reasons such as first husband’s desertion, adultery or such, or you remarried in ignorance, not knowing the Scriptures, then you should not divorce again but remain in your new marriage.
And I agree with that.
Read also Deuteronomy 24:
““When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out from his house, and she leaves his house and goes and becomes another man’s wife, and if the latter husband turns against her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her to be his wife, then her former husband who sent her away is not allowed to take her again to be his wife, since she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the LORD, and you shall not bring sin on the land which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance.”
Deuteronomy 24:1-4 NASB
My ex husband found Alcohol, drugs, and that he was abusive,and adulterous....also we did attend church as a family....although did not know the verses such as this...he started mocking GOD I just have found no Scriptures in my situation that allows for remarriage

The second marriage is NOT a marriage - It's literally as much a marriage as me saying I 'choose' to be female and therefore I am...
It's simply not a fact.
How POWERFUL a witness to the might of God and the HEART of that believer if they said to their NEW 'partner', "I m truly sorry for the pain and the emotional destruction this causes....But CHRIST is my ultimate goal and I MUST obey at ALL COSTS..." and leave the relationship.
The Word of God spells out time and time and time again that we are to be willing to 'hate our mother, father, son, daughter, even ourselves....for His sake' - We must be willing to abandon all sin...
At the same time, if we are married, we are bound to that marriage regardless of circumstances - no matter what they are - for the sole glory of God and to obey and please Him alone.
Feeling unloved in the marriage....Find your rest in Christ.
Feeling abused in some way? Get the church involved! Get the PASTORS involved. Seek the LORD and trust in Him, even unto death.
The very men and women of scripture suffered all things - Brutalization, jail, even death....Who are WE to say we 'deserve better' or we 'shouldn't be anything but happy'....
It's a tough world - Trust me, I know - and yet Christ promises to never leave nor forsake us...
But we say, "Sorry, God! I have had enough from this marriage. I don't deserve this...! I want MORE out of life. I want to be happy! And I want to be TREATED BETTER!"....
How sickening -
If Christ can't bring us joy in the midst of ANY sorrows and if we can not truly rely on Him to give us strength to survive through the hardest and coldest and most horrific of things - even the most horrific of marriages - then we simply can not claim to be OF Him.
I can't claim to LOVE Christ and yet abandon my marriage for life any more than JESUS can say, "I forgive you but I won't welcome you into Heaven"...
In the past couple years I have seen "christian" marriages - close friends and families - break up over things that simply will NEVER be Biblical reasons....
The brokenness and disdain and horror left in their wake is simply more evil than anything going on IN the marriages....
How SICKENING to believe that we can take things into our own hands.....RIP APART what GOD Himself says shall NOT be....and then turn around and expect to be perceived as a DISCIPLE of the LIVING GOD.
PHEW -
That's the short version of my response to this. lol
Justin
Try understanding this issue from it's historic biblical unfolding. Jesus was speaking to His covenant people Israel, they were divorcing because of their hard hearts. Consequently they were defaulting on their responsibility to "cleave" or stay married (Matthew 19:5). Jesus was revealing to Israel that by not fulfilling their obligation to be faithful to each the other until death, it caused them to commit adultery.
This pastor and John Piper don't believe Jesus contradicted Moses, that's an unnecessary presumption. Therefore reading them congruously would mean that Israel was being unfaithful to their former spouse (Matthew 5:32 "causeth her to commit adultery") while entering a binding marriage. The men of Israel having caused their wives to be defiled by releasing them to marry another were prohibited from ever remarrying them (former wife) Deuteronomy 24:4.
A congruous understanding of Moses and Jesus would mean that although both of them revealed a shameful consequence followed remarriage, the marriage was a binding marriage.
Do you deny the biblical fact that a second marriage was a binding marriage?
Would the God you believe in ever affirm homosexual marriage?
Grace to you, Justin
First of all know I’m not arguing against God’s heart for marriage. I fully agree that His will for marriage is lifelong. My disagreement with you revolves around remarriage. Historically (in the Old Testament), were remarriages binding marriages even though it caused a shameful consequence? Did Jesus teach that remarriages were no longer binding because a shameful consequences ensued? You are presuming He did, I do not.
Although I agree we are under the New Covenant, no one should maintain that Old Testament TRUTH is obsolete. There are prophecies yet to be fulfilled about the earthly reign of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Old Testament is necessary to a proper understanding of New Testament Truth. Would you maintain that “thou shall not kill” is obsolete?
Hebrews 8:13 speaks to the fact that the Old Covenant sacrificial system, the Levitical priesthood and such are obsolete, not the Truths found throughout the Old Testament. If you jettison Old Testament Truth you will not understand the New Covenant.
Justin writes, “I disagree with your statement that a second marriage is a binding biblical fact.”
Deuteronomy 24:1-4 establishes the biblical FACT that a binding marriage followed divorce even though a shameful consequence ensued. Do you still disagree with this biblical fact?
Justin writes, “In this NEW covenant, things are explained at the heart level. Lust is not just a physical action but mental as well, murder is not just a physical action but mental as well.”
I can only assume from this statement that you are saying that lust and murder did not occur mentally in the Old Testament. I can assure you it did. This is not new truth for the New Testament but rather Old Testament truth that had been overlooked by a people who believed they were innocent of adultery and murder if they had not committed the physical act. When Jesus spoke these things in the sermon on the mount (Matt. 5) I assure you it was relevant to whom He was speaking. Jesus revealed to His covenant people Israel that they were in essence adulterers and murderers. This truth certainly applies to the New Testament also, but it is not some truth obsolete to the Old as you seem to imply.
Justin writes, “Moses permitted something BECAUSE of their hardness of heart. Jesus points out that it was not always this way and takes them back to the beginning and original heart of marriage. What is the original heart of marriage? What God puts together let no man separate! If Jesus calls a relationship adultery, then it's adultery. I wouldn't advise ever staying in an adulterous relationship. Name another example in scripture where a sin is only a since ONCE, and then it's ok to keep doing it? That's like saying you stole a million dollars, but you repented so now you can keep it. You got remarried while your spouse was living so Jesus calls that adultery but now it's ok. This is just nonsense logic in my opinion.”
The reason it’s nonsense logic to you is because you don’t limit yourself to what Jesus actually said. You disregard biblical precedents and you interject supposition into the text. You instead reword what Jesus said to fit your supposition. For instance, Jesus never said the “relationship is adultery” or “the marriage is adultery,” but rather He said divorce and remarriage caused them to commit adultery, just like it caused defilement in Deuteronomy 24:4. But the marriage was spoken of as a marriage, a husband wife relationship even in light of the consequence. You are presuming that Jesus meant more than He said, you are speaking for God where God has not spoken.
When one accepts the truth of WHO Jesus is speaking to and it’s relevance to them, they will then understand it’s retrospective implications. Jesus was revealing to Israel that they were committing this manner of adultery by prematurely ending their marriages. His only solution for this adultery was for them to stop separating the one-flesh union (Matthew 19:6). Once you understand this manner of adultery had been occurring throughout the Old Testament, you will understand Jesus’ reference to the beginning was to expose the “why” of that fact. Why had Israel been committing adultery in this manner? Because (as Jesus explains) marriage sets forth the responsibility to “cleave” (v.5) or stay together. Jesus revealed to His covenant people that by divorcing their spouse they were transgressing their responsibility to be faithful to each the other until death. Divorce and remarriage is another way of committing adultery, but the end result was they had enter another marriage and forbidden to reconcile the former (Deuteronomy 24:4). The consequence (defilement or adultery) did not negate the second marriage nor it’s responsibilities.
It is your view that speaks beyond Christ, it is your view that presumes the consequence (adultery) is not a one time event. You are presuming that this adultery cannot be repented of while honoring one’s present marriage. If we limit ourselves to what the bible actually says and read Moses and Jesus congruously we will conclude that remarriage caused both a transgression and a transference of marital responsibility. Therefore remarriage resulted in a binding marriage as biblical precedents reveal. No one in either Old or New Testament instructs the “divorce to repent” supposition. Moses, Jesus nor Paul taught that the consequence invalidated the second marriage.
Again I would encourage you to understand this issue from it's historic biblical unfolding. Don’t presume your suppositions are true. If you have to pit one biblical writer against the other you are on the wrong path.
Neal Doster Neal please help me. I divorced my first husband and wasnt faithful. We were not really Christians and I had not dedicated my life to Christ. My pastor said since there was no hope of reconciliation and because when a man looks at another woman with lust that is the same as committing adultery. My first husband was verbally abusive and neglected me in all ways and he didn't cheat but he flirted alot and was seeing another woman supposedly not sleeping with her . I left . I dedicated my life to Christ and have never cheated on my current husband. I am terrified of going to hell because I got remarried. I am under the impression I am allowed because my 1st husband emotional abandoned me and because he was talking to another woman. I could use any guidance. I feel like I have peace but at the same time I do have some concerns. Any advice appreciated. There are some folks that say I am going to hell because I'm in "perpetual adultery"?! Prayers please and advice. Thank you. Also do you read from KJV?
The last part is unscriptual and will lead many to hell!!

he has one of, if not the best teaching, on this subject....
I thought it was good until the last part. Got disappointed! Yes David Pawson’s teaching on this subject is very clear. 👍
Use the Bible rather
David Pawson didn't understand grace. We are all sinners, divorced or not - our sins will spoil our fellowship with God until we repent, but our salvation is purely about putting our faith in the cross
Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed . Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife, but even if you do marry, you have not sinned. ( 1 Corinthians 7 : 27, 28 )
Yeah the modern day Pharisees don't like those scriptures. Flies in the face of their judgmentalism. Nor do they care for : "For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment." James 2:13.
The proper rendering of loose in thay context means never married not divorced. He preempts that verse with the fact a woman is bound for as long as she lives and finishes along the same way.
@@meadowbrooks4041 so "Are you never married from a wife?" You're clutching me thinks. But grace and mercy to you.

@@sounddoctrine3032I agree with you guys and I'd like to subscribe to your channel I'm looking for other watchmen on the wall I live in California, can't even find people to fellowship anymore and even churches are in apostasy, he doesn't make sense he says at the end of the video that if you didn't know that it was a sin you are not accountable well actually this video keeps you accountable and lets you know the truth so now that we know we have to do something with it and that would be to repent!
I don't want to be stuck in eternal blackness for all eternity! Come out of whatever it is!!
so... I know I robbed the bank, and I'm really sorry about that, but I'm keeping the money, and I'm having a big redemption party at my house.. oh... and I can afford two fatted calves!
Lol
@Kevin Hillier have you read Ezra 10?
@Kevin Hillier no, but I know who can....
happy trolling
@Kevin Hillier no, you didnt
you ignored my point went back to yours and proved you are a troll with no intent on having an intellectual discussion....
thanks for playing
@Kevin Hillier I'm done with you... you wanted to troll and didn't want to engage in an actual conversation until now...
I no play with you
Where does it say it’s Gods will for a spouse to stay in the second marriage?
Once you know the truth, you must repent and turn from your sin. God hast called me to stand and pray for the restoration of my marriage. If a spouse is bound until death, what you say at the end is not correct.
Excatly💯
This Pastor for 16 minutes was on point with the scriptures. Divorce and remarriage while your original spouse is still alive is adultery according to the Bible. Around the last minute of the Pastor's teaching he dismantled his whole argument by saying the Second marriage is honorable by God and you can stay in it. WHAT THE DEVIL? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Let's remember god says "no sin is greater than the other" so all you so call " righteous" people in the comments talking about how much of a sin it is to remarry I hope yall never committed any sin in your life... remember- " there is only one lawgiver and one judge, he who is able to live and to destroy..but who are you to judge your neighbour?" ....Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
He is consistent until he says to stay in a remarriage, cuz they didn't know better. Really? Scripture for that?? Where is God's grace to get out of adultery and live a chaste life in this instance??? Mind blowing conclusion.....
Paul Brown His last conclusion for staying in a remarriage is NOT Scriptural. Would he say the same of a gay or lesbian couple who just got saved??? They should stay together because they entered into an homosexual relationship in ignorance! Really?
Agreed it is a bizarre mind-blowing conclusion after such a eloquent job before that.
God no longer winks at sin but calls us to repent
If this is true.. Then would this in essence nullify the santification of Jesus Christ as our Saviour by giving Himself on the cross for sin past, present and future... Would it not?
Exactly! We are all sinners, divorced or not. Saved by faith not " good" behaviour
You are required to return to your first covenant that is only broken by death!!!
You can remain single
Hey brother, A viewer of mine made me aware that this video was on my divorce and remarriage adultery playlist, and I had missed what he said at the end to remain in the adulterous relationship. I deleted it. Wanted to say hello, and I hope that you are excited about Jesus' return. Maranatha.
Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever. If a spouse leave you and marry another. Scripture forbids you taking them back. God even calls it an abomination because it brings sin on the land. God doesn’t want disease on his people. Deuteronomy 24:4 I’m in this situation I understand I can’t marry till death but I can’t take them back either according to scripture.
Return to an abusive marriage? God FORGIVES divorce/remarriage like He does everything else.
@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlwaysyou're not supposed to stay in the adulterous relationship correct? He says at the end of this video that if you did not know you're supposed to stay in the marriage well this video makes you accountable and makes you know the truth so I don't know what he's talking about!
I was with you until the end. Do not say according to old testament scripture ' Do not return to your spouse. ' That's old testament. New testament says be single or RECONCILE. That means go back to your spouse if possible: BUT if not remain single. Even when God divorced isreal after isreals repeated adultery, God said "should a husband take but a defiled wife? YET I say return to me Isreal "JERIMIAH 3.1 kjv
My husband divorced me because he fell in lust with a younger woman. He cheated on me and divorced me. I didn't want the divorce even after what he did to me! So now your saying I am destined to be alone for the rest of my life because of what he did?! I don't accept that. I was innocent and a faithful and good wife who stayed married for 28 years through physical abuse emotional abuse and his cheating. I forgave him every time. Now what am I to do?
Its very hard I know, Take it to prayer. Remember life here on earth is smaller or shorter then a single grain of sand on the beach compared to eternity.
Dad Nova It is so hard and its all so new. My divorce was just final on January 2. I have prayed on it and will continue to do so. It's confusing because some videos say it's misinterpreted? I need to get in and read it myself, but I am a horrible Bible reader. I'd do better listening rather than reading. I appreciate your comment and thank you for being so understanding. God bless you ❤️
@@Texasgrrl77How are you doing now?
Brother you were spot on right until about 16:00. Repentance requires turning from the sin and not staying in it. What if a man were married to a man (in ignorance) and then comes to Christ, is he ok to stay in that be auze he wasn't a believer when he entered that life?
You are right. Repentance is to leave the sin, and go and sin no more. Maranatha.
Wow !! Everything was good until the end where you say that those who are remarried ignorantly can stay in the marriage !?!?!?
Please say you re kidding?? You will perish because you teach people to live in adultery , if you're a car thief and you turn to Christ three days after stealing s car then you obviously have to return the car .....
Same with wives
So many comments as how you will go to hell and so few regarding grace and salvation without even considering a persons circumstances. Christ has over and over again shown his love for us and yet there are some who ignore this and tell people they are going to hell for their poor life choices. Why didn't Jesus pick the pharisee's as his disciples rather than ones less perfect in the eyes of men? The victims of divorce are not perfect and their personal salvation is not determined by anyone other than our Lord and savior regardless of the comments of the many white washed tombs out there. My prayer is that all will know we serve a just and loving God and that never changes regardless of martial status. Be kind to those in need especially them that are suffering physically or any kind of loss to include divorce. Heaping guilt on those that have failed is not the answer and to threaten loss of salvation when you are not the final say is putting yourself in a position of judgment. To cite scriptures and disregard all circumstances surrounding them and to whom the audience is will reap only a partial or inaccurate understanding.
So according to you then everyone who says "Jesus" is basically going to heaven and nobody is going to hell, not adulterers, murderes, liars, nobody. Smh 🤦♂️
Ok, keep telling yourself that

Neal doster goes into great detail about the misunderstandings of the teachings of Jesus. You will find his detailed comments on many channels, including standing strong for marriage . Jesus himself says it all in john 5 46, and these youtube self-proclaimed experts throw out the very words God gave Moses in deuteronomy 24 1-4 trying to justify their unbiblical teachings.
May you find peace in your journey
I was in total agreement with you, until you contradicted yourself at the end of the video. You said that God sees all remarriages as adultery, and there are no exceptions, But at the end of your video, you gave an exception. This is contrary to Christ teachings. I was married to a man who had been married twice. After he died, God began revealing to me that I had been living in adultery, and if I had died, I would have gone into eternal damnation with satin and his demons. As the scriptures say, the only exception to remarriage is death. The only way to be forgiven is to repent and turn away from your sin. I encourage you to study Ezra 10:10-11. The devil is very clever in distorting the meaning of God’s word, so please pray for clarity and understanding. Let God’s Word have the final say!
Excatly
My wife cheated, she refused to stop, and she divorced me. I plan to remarry with ZERO guilt. I’m not sure what Bible you use, but my Kjv quoted Jesus as saying adultery is grounds for divorce. You have to go through an incredible amount of mental gymnastics to say that remarrying is not allowed after adultery.
Amen....just make CERTAIN you don't marry another sexually immoral woman!
I was where you were. I was in a heap on deception for 5 months as I was planning to remarry. Pray and fast earnestly about this. After divorce, we either remain unmarried or reconcile.
After crying out to God to clean my heart, I’ve realized divorce is unforgiveness. My hubby cheated on me too. But God’s grace is sufficient.
Don’t gamble with your salvation ❤
This man speaks with forked tongue .Read your Bible and BELIEVE what it says.Beware of smooth talkers.
Amen. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
*WARNING: THE DUDE STARTS TO SHORT CIRCUIT AT **15:37**.* He is claiming that if God commands us not to marry our neighbor's wife and we disobey, then He suddenly changes His mind and starts commanding us to stay married to her. This is the description of a false god.
AMEN! And he probably really think he is right. He probably in an adulteress marriage why he ended like that?
Lol @the dude starts to short circuit. You are absolutely right @DanielJohn2300. It's like a game of baseball where you make it pass all 3 bases and right before you get to home plate, you run backwards and put yourself right back to first base lol
Clearly it is "An exception rule" in
Matthew 19:9 Please read it and understand. God Bless!!
Spot on until the end the serpent slides in
Lord help us 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤲… The adversary came kill steal and destroy.
In plain sight, WOW 😮
Although well educated in the Scriptures, I'm still unsure of the Lord's will concerning remarriage. It seems that God's grace is sufficient for all our sins...except divorce.
God's grace does not allow us to continue in sin. Please read Romans 6:1-2. If we are to be forgiven for our sins, we must also forsake them.
The glaring error that so many are making is assuming that everyone who gets married was joined together by God🤦🏾
You can be anything and get forgiveness and get a new start in Christ, except a bad marriage. My former husband remarried.
So now what? 🤔
Not SO!!!
I was with you all the way until the last 2 minutes. What sin can we repent of and continue doing? A thief repent, but continue stealing? The second marriage isn’t a marriage at all. The covenant marriage is always the marriage in the eyes of God so everything else is adultery. Anyone in adultery must stop it and repent.
Please go to 15 minutes of this video. The information is incorrect. Please read the Bible for your self people and Pray to God for answers. God bless you in Jesus name.
He is right. There is no such thing as divorce in the NT Church. Jesus condemned it and said it can actually cause divorce, even if the one who divorces his wife does not remarry. He "forces her into adultery"
@@SaanichtonMinistries he's wrong in saying that if people remarried after a divorce that they can remain in their adulterous union.
He spent the whole video making the case that the 1st marriage can only be separated by death & at the end contradicts all the scriptures he quoted! Yikes!
Exactly the kind of diatribe we are warned to ignore
I've been remarried for 40 years my former wife still lives,her husband died.I wouldn't remarry her for any reason.
I studied this more in depth and I do believe what you’re saying is false. Yes, it’s true that remarriage is discouraged, but not just remarriage, any marriage because of the difficult situation in Corinth, the persecution. You misuse what Jesus said about Moses giving a certificate of divorce. Jesus did not contradict Moses but contrary, he clearly said that who teaches even the smallest commandment will be called great in God’s kingdom. A divorce is allowed under the law although clearly not an ideal.
Paul never said a woman should remain single after a divorce. In 1 Cor 7:11 it says that if a woman is divorced she should remain unmarried or should reconcile with the man.
Unmarried is often translated single, but this is not the same. Unmarried just is the term for all who are not married, but the term virgin is used to explicitly say she never was married. Paul clearly says she’s now unmarried but not a virgin anymore. Now, Paul clearly said, if you are in the category of an unmarried person, you can remarry because it’s better to marry than to burn with desire and thus being tempted by Satan. Unmarried usually in that chapter refers to people who have been married before but through death or divorce are now single again.
However a difference has to be made between divorced and put away. A husband is not allowed to put away his wife. Putting away means abandonment. A woman cannot remarry if there is no certificate of divorce and thus is tempted to commit adultery. Any man who marries her also commits adultery because she still is legally bound to her husband.
Yes, Jesus taught the ideal, that once a couple is married they should remain together because they are one flesh. But hardness of heart in our society unfortunately causes lots of issues in a marriage that calls for divorce. God himself even divorced Israel, giving her a letter of divorce.
Jesus said that grounds of divorce is ‘pornea’, which is fornication, not strictly adultery, and can include all kinds of things that make a marriage unbearable. Also someone who does not honour the Word of God, who claims he’s a Christian but beats his wife or torments her emotionally, clearly is not obeying the commandment to love her, can be treated as an unbeliever if he listens to no one, not his wife nor the elders.
Thanks for this wonderful and very clear teaching on Divorce and remarriage, though I'm not really convinced on the last statement you have.i will just select those with scripture basis not the ending part..this is what I've been waiting for...☺️..God bless you brother
Same for me. The last statement isn't biblical.
Yep The Video Was Great But The Last Statement Threw Me Off I Don't Think We Can Use Ignorance As A Defense In Any Case Of Sin It Does Say In The Bible My People Parish For A Lack Of Knowledge
So what say of this scripture?
Deuteronomy 24:1-5 KJV
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. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord : and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
Grace everlasting, I was very impressed with your video up until the last minute or so where you completely contradicted yourself. I humbly object to your final point as I already see in the comments others have also noted. You were running the race so well until the very end why the big switch? Ironically you backed up all your previous statements with scripture but the last point of saying God sanctions the adulterous marriage you provide no scripture. I wanted to give you an illustration to hopefully change your position. In today's society we probably all can agree the homosexual marriage lie is prevalent and being taught to our kids even in elementary. If the Lord should tarry another 20 years and some of these youth enter homosexual marriages in ignorance as it had been taught all there life, would you still tell that Couple since they did it in ignorance that it's not ideal but God still sanctions there abominable homosexual marriage and they should actually stay together per the scriptures? I hope this helps you brother see where your logic leads to. With love in Christ.
Enoch
Marriage is only between a Man and a Woman. Jesus would never covenant a homosexual marriage.
I think that case is different because God created man and woman to be together
Staying in the second marriage while your ex spouse is still alive means the two are still in adultery true Repentance is to turn away from sin.
Yes they can be forgiven but they must divorce.
Deuteronomy 24:1 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. 24:2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. 1 Corinthians 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 7:28 But 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.
After 44 years of marriage, my wife, without saying a word, ran off with another man. She came back in three months wanting a "Reconciliation" but it was far too late. I divorced her, was single for five years, met another woman who was everything my first wife was not. After dating for a couple of years, I again married. We are now in out seventh year of marriage. Couldn't be happier.

This was good, but the last part where you say those who got into second marriages because they did not know the scripture are given grace really confuses me. They did not know that they were committing adultery, and now that they know the truth must they still continue in sin so that grace may abound? I believe that God calls us to repentance and repentance means turn and do what is right. As sad and painful as it is, it is the truth and this is where true love and obedience to God is really challenged. God is no respecter of persons. He doesn’t change His word because we didn’t know the scripture. Yes we didn’t know because of our ignorance concerning His word, and now that we know that we had been leaving in sin what do we do? Through knowledge the righteous shall be delivered Proverbs 11:9. If that was a wicked way before the eyes of God , then we must turn away from our wicked ways. Please help me understand. 🙏🏽🥲
I agree with you his last part was not backed up by scripture. The state of adultery is different than a one-time occurrence . If one remains a bank robber you've got to stop robbing banks. You don't get to stay in the state that you're in. If the first legitimate marriage has not ended in death that means it's still a covenant marriage. That will only end in death. And God will give you the grace to live in that situation also. Too bad because that was an excellent explanation up until that point. Now I can't share this with others as I too would be leading them astray. God have mercy on him.
It's sad when we hold to a certain view that gives us a sense of holiness and righteousness but in order to do so we have to ignore or conflate conflicting scriptures. On this topic as with any other you must study THE ENTIRETY OF SCRIPTURES and then harmonize.
100%. There are scriptures that say to "believe" and leave out "repent", that doesn't mean we don't need to repent, as an example. We need to read the other scriptures and see what else is commanded. There are grounds for remarriage that would not be considered adultery, but within the lines of God's word, it's narrow but it's there.
I'm confused... you mentioned how every 2nd marriage is adultry. But you said if out of ignorance you are in a 2nd marriage then you are not in adultry and it's ok to stay in that 2nd marriage! Huge contradiction my friend! That's wrong! Jesus said " my people parish from lack of knowledge! You still have to repent from that 2nd marriage brother... spouse is still alive! Only death breaks a marriage covenant.
Luke 16:18 was misquoted by saying divorce, when in the King James version of the Bible it says "put away". In the Greek, the word is "apoluo" means to separate from or send out(without being divorced). In other words, that verse is saying Whosoever separates(without being divorced)from his wife, and marries someone else, he commits adultery. And whoever marries a woman that's put away(without being divorced)from her husband, commits adultery.
Many Bible versions uses the word divorce when the King James version has the word "put away"(Luke 16:18; Matthew 19:9; Mark 10:11,12)which is NOT the same as the word divorce.
Divorce(Greek) is apostasion
Divorce(Hebrew) is keriythuwth
Put away(Greek) is apoluo
Put away(Hebrew) is Shalach. The Old testament language was Hebrew/Aramaic. The New testament language was Greek.
In Malachi 2:16, God does not say he hates divorce(as so many translations state), but God says he hates the "putting away"(separation without being divorced). The Israelites separated(without being divorced)from their wives and married foreign women which God had told them not to do. This left the wives uncared-for and they couldn't marry because they were still married to their husbands. In the book of Ezra chapters 9 & 10, it tells of the lsraelites joined themselves to the foreigners which was an abomination to God; Ezra confesses these sins into God; they made a covenant to "put away"(separate from)these foreign wives and children because these marriages were unlawful in God's eyes. These men were still married to their wives.
There are 3 stages of how a lawful divorce mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy 24:1 is carried out:
1) the husband must write out a divorce certificate.
2) husband must put the divorce certificate in the wife's hand.
3) husband must put wife out and send her away.
This divorce certificate provided evidence that the woman was lawfully divorced, and she could go and become another man's wife (Deut. 24:2). Also, it protected her from accusations.
Jesus said He came to do his father's will. He didn't change God's law on divorce and remarriage. In fact Jesus reiterated it in Matthew 19:9.
Many Believers have been told that if they're divorced then
they can't get married as long as their spouse is alive, but if the spouse dies, they are free to marry. How can you have a spouse when you're not married?
God, in His Word has provided for divorce and remarriage (Deuteronomy 24:1-4), and Jesus didn't change God's moral laws but he did do away with the ceremonial laws.
Just because it's provided doesn't mean that you're to jump from partner to partner just because..........
Marriage should be taken seriously and it takes work on the part of both parties involved.
If we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us (John 14:26), and if we study(2Timothy 2:15), and get an understanding (Proverbs 4:7), then we won't be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14). All that I've stated can be found in the word of God. Search for yourselves.
May the Lord open the eyes, ears, and heart of all who desires to know His truths.
Self righteousness won't sanctify anyone
Well ypu got it right except it never says divorce n new testament. It does way pit away
It makes sense then that their is no exception for divorce
where's the scripture to back those last comments brother???
1 Corinthians 6 9-11
There is no scripture that says if one didn’t know the scripture opposing remarriage before remarrying is forgiven. He or she is living in ADULTERY period !!!
Here it is, not a sin to remarry: 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 King James Version (KJV)
27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28 But 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.re it is, it's not a sin to remarry:
Amen sister. Speak the truth.
Erik Sloan David or Abraham or Jacob wouldn’t be welcome in your fellowships. David’s way of divorce was to kill the husband and God blessed his marriage to Bathsheba and their heir became king of all Israel.Marriage is to be taken very seriously and the law says thou shalt not but grace says your forgiven and don’t sin anymore
Thanks for courage to stand on truth. But except for the last part. I believe a marriage is a marriage whether it’s prior to being a believer or while being a believer. A sin is a sin. It doesn’t matter if you sinned during the time without the knowledge of scripture or sinned as a believer.
God bless.
Paul did allowed divorce but in accordance with the law of the land
@@garvinsmith4555 wrong.
Only death of a spouse can free a person from the covenant of marriage.
That’s why he instructs a wife to not divorce. If so, remain unmarried or reconcile to her husband.
@@truthhurts6145 I think you misunderstood me, I hold firmly to the permanance view!
God doesn’t punish the victim, Jesus said if a man divorces his wife,( except for immorality) he’s an adulterer. If his wife has committed adultery, he can divorce her and marry another.
If a man commits adultery, divorces his wife, she is not an adulterer, she can remarry.
You are putting burdens on others that you cannot bear yourself.
Remarriage is not the unforgivable sin. Even looking at a woman and lusting after her makes a man an adulterer. There are not too many people that are not guilty of that.
You lack understanding and compassion,and have limited Gods promise to forgive.
Their innocence definitely makes a difference.
I could use some prayers and guidance. 10 years ago, I was not fully living for Christ....had knowledge but still much sin... and I was not very wise. I married a foreign woman here in the U.S. after meeting her in her country and revisiting her several times. I brought her here on a fiancee visa and against better judgement, I married her at LAST minute before she would have to go back....waited the full 1 year requirement because we just were not getting along once she got here. We joined church together and started growing in Christ, but we both had issues. Well, we separated after 1 year marriage. I never got divorce, but just started process. Have not been in touch this whole time and dont know where she is (U.S. or elsewhere). I heard recently she has a child now and is/was with someone else. I also had a child. I am completely repentant and changed now but not with anyone. My question is....do I complete divorce or just stay at married status? Doing everything now to live 100% for Christ and this truly concerns me. Thank you.
Definitely praying for you and your situation. Seek God is this question you have. I would say do everything you can to make it work with the woman you married. If she chooses not to work it out then let her leave. I would seek counsel on what to do next. Definitely pray and ask God if you are allowed to remarry. Jesus Christ states that the only way divorce is acceptable is due to sexual immorality. I am still not sure if one is able to marry if he or she is a victim of sexual immorality. I hope this helps some. Seek Jesus for the answer for he is the way, the truth and the life. God bless you @GlobalVenture Associates
@@crwnofenlightenment Thank you for your prayers. Very much appreciated. The scripture is very clear...neither party is allowed to marry after divorce, as long as the other is living. Although your state marriage contract is dissolved through the courts, in God's eyes, you are still one flesh with your spouse under the marriage covenant that the two of you estsblished with God. I have come to terms with that aspect. Was just wondering if I should complete divorce. As I understand it much better now, we both have valid cause for divorce. We both have a child, therefore we both committed adultery while married but separated, which is grounds for divorce. I don't know for sure, but do not see a reconciliation happening....especially if she is with someone else with kid now. It isn't something I desire, at least. Remember, there has been ZERO communication for 10 years. Who knows? Miracles do happen.
I was hoping to help you and you helped me. We helped each other. Look at the way God works. And you are more than welcome. We are supposed to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you for your response. May Jesus give you both peace.
@@crwnofenlightenment Amen, brother!
How could it be God's will when remarrage is a continual of adultery ? You're last comments contradict what you have said so far .
Yes sir this topic is very difficult..
Being separated gives me peace of everything. Its not easy, its painful but thanks much for the grace of GOD.
Though remarriage bothering me, the bible always gives me the right guidance regarding this matter.
I guess, being single after separation is a great opportunity to be more intimate to JESUS CHRIST. I'VE WASTED A LOT FOR HIM AND I SINCERELY REGRET THAT. I don't know what will tommorow brings but what I believe is He have a good plan for me. To every person with same experienced like me, kindly please pray for each other that the LORD'S will in our lives must be fulfill. Not our desire but his will.
this teaching is controversial, because christians only want acept things on bible that are convenient for them, this biblie teaching upset people that is already remarried cause this comfront there sin, and not all are able to obey what bible really is saying.
The reason it's controversial is because of what some believe the bible says but doesn't. This is where the conflict arises.
AMEN!!!
I agree with everything he teaches up until he FOLDS when it comes to those who HAVE transgressed God’s teachings on marriage. He gives “permissions” to remain in adultery where scripture in no way does. Jesus never changes His declaration/label of the relationship He calls adultery......yet this pastor does.....smh. I came to my “hard” view through intense study! I have MANY remarried people in my family--even professing Christians, so my present view is not pleasant to say the least. However, I will not compromise the Truth to avoid the “blow back”. Jesus said what He said.......and He didn’t change it even when speaking in PRIVATE with His disciples (Mk 10:10-12). Also, Jesus did NOT make allowances for “ignorance”. Sin is sin, whether we see it as such when we do it or not. If this is the reasoning of this pastor, what about GAY people who are legally married......and then they are born again? Does he teach THEM to stay in their unions? Or does he teach that God joins adulterous relationships as One Flesh, but not homosexual ones?
Jesus forgives sins by his sacrifice on the cross. He didnt condemn the woman at the well with 5 husbands. Yes he said your first husband. What did Jesus do? He stayed with them for a few days. All those that are condemming will be condemned by God. There is nothing even murder which Christ can't forgive. All i see is hypocrites here which God does not dwell inside.These people Reminds me of the stoning of Mary Magdella. He who is without sin cast the first stone?? There is lots of stones of self righteous people here. We all know where they are going((
jhon rambo , study to show thyself approved comes to mind here doesn't it brother! Problem is not many and me being one up until recently was prideful and believed the same twisted scripture or misinterpreted scripture cause of you go back to the original Greek you will see that there is a major error with what this gentlemans teaching. i believe he really does mean well as i also did but i was ignorant as he also is. Apoluo and apostacion are two different things.
This is what I believe, even though my church does not teach this. Thank you for producing this video. But those already remarried may not engage in conjugal relations as it is adultery.
Like that's gonna happen...
They need to repent and LEAVE the relationship and get a divorce.
@sylviahofer, I have been celibate for over12 years. I want to do whatGod said. You have to make up your mind that you will follow Christ. That means, denying one’s flesh. Because I understand intimacy the way God said, I will honor it. Do I feel lonely sometimes, yes, but my reward is in Heaven not here on earth. God bless you.
I agree with everything taught but not you should remain in a adulterous marriage to keep your promise to them. Adultery sends you to hell. So, why stay in an adultery covenant if the 1st marriage is a covenant and cannot be broken accept for death of your spouse? Your promise is not to man or the 2nd marriage but your promise should be to God and to honor covenant with God in your 1st marriage to either reconcile or stay seperate. We are Gods bride. He did not remarry and create a new people he stayed seperate and reconciled to us because he is not a man that he should lie against his covenant to us nor repentant to us for remarrying. Only satan is the author of all lies and confusion (remarriage). If you are in a remarriage and choose to stay in it you are of satan and the truth is not in you. Repentance is not just words but instead actions. This means if you repent for adultery or fornication turn away from it or await hell fire.
Excatly💯 he is deceiving Thousands of people
Every sexual intercourse with the so called 2nd marriage remains continous adultery. People do not realise The road is narrow
Many in the comment section seem to fall over the last part of the video, where he says that if you are already remarried, you have to stay in that marriage. Many say that you have to separate from that person, because you live in adultery, which I understand. But I remember a scripture in the Bible stating that if you are already remarried, you can NOT go back to your first partner after the second divorce. I can't remember in which book of the bible this is mentioned., I think it is in Deuterenomy.
You are referencing Deut 24
@@lastone2145 Ok thanks.
Christian are not under the Law, so Deut 24:1-4 does not apply to Christians. We follow what Jesus said and what the Apostle Paul wrote about divorce and remarriage. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 says that covenant spouses who divorce can be reconciled.
The second marriage was still adultery, but if the second husband dies, the wife is not to return to the first husband because she has been defiled after becoming another man’s husband.
I believe in God's grace more than mere circumstances that have destroyed my life. Is it my fault that my spouse chose alcohol over me, threw us into deep financial debts, abused me and was addicted to porn too ? We have no right to be self righteous. Jesus himself challenged the rules of the Jews, that's how change was brought about. We need to understand the context Jesus was talking in. He spoke at a time when women were at a serious disadvantage if divorced. He knows the pain I suffered through my marriage, and I also know the doors and opportunities he has opened for me after I healed. God's love and grace is more important than anything.
1 Corinthians 7:11
Matthew 19:9 clearly states that EXCEPT on the grounds of fornication. That means if the other spouse cheats you can divorce him/her and marry to someone else without committing a sin.
If your wife cheats on you, then she commits adultery, not fornication. Also, you don't have to put away an adulterous wife; she leaves on her own. The "except for fornication" clause means that if you take a wife, only to find out that she is not a virgin, then you may put her away for fornication and marry another. Except for that case, your wife is your wife for as long as you live and you may not put her away. But if she puts you away, for no fault of your own, then there is no scripture forbidding you from marrying a second wife in polygyny.
No it don't. When you can explain to me how a married couple commit fornication then you may have a point, but they can't and you need to study and pray and ask God what that meant in Matthew 19:9. And it is not what you think.
DanielJohn2300 adultery is a kind of fornication, as homossexuality is, or bestiality. Yahoshua was talking to Torah followers. They could easily understand what he was talking about, because the definition of fornication was given in Torah. He was explanaining that a men could not divorce for any reason, because the farisees where teaching that someone could get divorced for unreasonable things, sutch as salty dinner, in example. Since sex is marriage, in God's eyes, the only cause of divorce is betraying that covenant. That is why, also, the reason Yhwh divorced the Ten tribes of the northern Kingdom of Israel.
earlibee there are no outs in marriage except for death
DanielJohn2300 I believe that scripture means that if you put away your wife because you want to cheat put her into a situation where she will commit adultery and any man that marries her will commit adultery as well as she does.
Thank you Pastor, your teaching is very clear. No remarriage after divorce. And divorce is not recommended to anyone.
So, most astute nenita gao-ay....After 44 years of marriage, my 1st wife, without breathing a word, ran off with a former friend. After a couple of months, she did return, but it was far too late and I divorced her a couple of years later. Was I supposed to welcome her back with open arms?
Thirteen years ago, while on a solo motorcycle trip, I met the woman who would become my 2nd wife and we have now been married over 10 years. She is everything my first wife wasn't, including being intelligent.

Two days ago, we celebrated (together) my 65th High School graduation.....big turnout. I can hardly believe so many of my former classmates have made it into their early 80's.
@@em77775 There is an old saying...."For every door which closes, TWO more open." I do believe that is what happened to me.
I can’t find the passage that says adultery is a worse sin than lying and stealing or pride. We all sin/sinned and are forgiven. There is Gods perfect will and then there are sinners. God hates all sin but forgives because of His love for us. We are not perfect, we cannot be perfect. Expecting another to be as ‘good’ as ourselves is can be the sin of judging others. Each man must work out their own salvation with the Spirit of God. If this message is correct then we are all going to hell.
What about them not living for Christ before and during their marriage but after divorce they were led and found the Most High thus living for Christ? Doesn't the word say that we become new creatures therefore all sins have been removed?
Based on the truth that when we first repent of our sins we become newborn (with a fully new spirit), I believe a person who has become a Christian immediately cancels all his old covenants since he has died in Christ. Then when he is born again he is allowed to have a new marriage if he has been divorced before the time of his new birth. Once you are newborn, God makes all things new. So you may either stay in a new mutual covenent with your current spouse if he accepts to live with you as a Christian (why not try to save the family if you love them) or you are free to have a new covenant with your new spirit and marry another single believer only. The new covenant in both cases is until death.
Does that mean I need to remmary my wife? Or any covenant with God is gone?
That is what ypu said.
I really like your presentation. That's good indeed. The word of God must be explained properly as you just did. Thanks so much for this topic of remarriage. I was intending to marry a divorce woman but now, l will not go ahead. It is really important to put God first. His laws are important for our days today living
Yayyyy God's proud of you
According to what he said at the end ypu can remmary a divorced person. Just claim ignorance
I notice how he constantly says .. I BELIEVE ! Well I believe this guy is a fool .
Well for 1500 years everyone was a fool. This remarriage thing is pretty new. But he is wrong on telling the remarried to stay togyher in adultery.
It is ok to divorce and remarry if your spouse committed adulery. Jesus speaking in Mt 10:19 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery NOTICE: EXCEPT FOR THE CAUSE OF FORNICATION, they use the word fornication instead of adultry because the word for fornication not only means adultry but means ALL sexual activity out side of Gods ordained purpose of marriage of one man and one women. So after Jesus states except for fornication He then goes on to say "And shall marry another committeth adultery" So Jesus is clearly discussing the fact of remarrying in this scripture which He clearly states is adultery, EXCEPT FOR FORNICATION
“NOT UNDER “BONDAGE” BUT STILL BOND BY GODS MARRIAGE LAW!!!
If the unbelieving depart..... let him depart. A brother or sister is not under the bondage of servitude [Greek word Douloo] because of the separation, but should intercede for the salvation of the departed one, praying for his/her salvation and for reconciliation.
A Testimony from a Sister in Christ :
Quote :
But just to be clear, here is something I recently discovered:
I finally looked up the Greek and compared what Paul said about a woman being bound to her husband as long as he lives (1 Corinthians 7:39), and how when the unbelieving spouse leaves, the other spouse is not 'bound' in such circumstances (1 Cor. 7:15). Did you know that 'bound' is two different Greek words in these verses?
1 Corinthians 7:39 A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.
'bound' is the Greek verb 'deo'
deó: to tie, bind
Original Word: δέω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: deó
Phonetic Spelling: (deh'-o)
Short Definition: I bind
Definition: I bind, tie, fasten; I impel, compel; I declare to be prohibited and unlawful.
NAS Exhaustive Concordance
Word Origin
a prim. verb
Definition
to tie, bind
NASB Translation
bind (7), binding (1), binds (2), bound (23), imprisoned (4), prisoners (1), put...in chains (1), tied (4).
Now, in 1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
'bound' is the Greek word 'douloo'
1402. douloó ►
Strong's Concordance
douloó: to enslave, bring under subjection
Original Word: δουλόω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: douloó
Phonetic Spelling: (doo-lo'-o)
Short Definition: I enslave
Definition: I enslave.
HELPS Word-studies
Cognate: 1402 doulóō - enslave (passive, "become enslaved"), focusing on the status of being a bond-slave. In contrast to the other verb-form of the same root (1398 /douleúō), 1402 (doulóō) stresses the results (effects) of enslavement. That is, what automatically goes with belonging to another. See 1401 (doulos).
So there is a difference between the bond between a husband and wife (for life) and this being 'bound' or 'under bondage'.
So I am still bound to my husband (married in God's eyes, no matter what man says), but not under bondage to him. He does not rule over me, but I am not free to marry someone else because he is still my husband.
It is interesting that Paul says these two things in the same chapter
First he says the believer is not 'bound' under the circumstance of their unbelieving spouse leaving them, and then he says that a wife is 'bound' to her husband as long as he is still living. It seems to contradict, but it doesn't. It's a different word. - Ricky B
Pual says
1 Corinthians 7:10
10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11 But if she does, she Must Remain Unmarried OR else Be Reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
Then sandwiched in is Corinthians 7:15 a very unclear verse that Paul says “now I speak and NOT the Lord” and it gives no permission to remarry you have to add that to it, where all other verses do talk about remarrying.
1 Corinthians 7:15
But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace
1 Corinthians 7:39
“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 whom she wishes, only in the Lord.”
Now Paul goes back to saying they are bound for life!!!!!
So is Paul is bi polar? No. It is a different word. And the Greek says HAS not BEEN enslaved.
“Not Bound”, No, HAS not been enslaved ( PAST TENSE! ) Written so that a spouse would not be conflicted to obey the husband and follow his pagan religion and honor her husband over following Jesus. Just like the movie “The Case For Christ” in which the husband gives an ultimatum “It is either me or your Jesus, which is it going to be?” This shows you are to pick your savior Jesus.
Kehillah in Corinth I 7:14-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
14 For, [T.N. following the principle of bikkurim], the ba’al who is an Apikoros is mekudash b’Ruach Hakodesh (set apart as holy in the Ruach Hakodesh) by the isha, and the isha who is an Apikoros likewise by the Ach b’Moshiach; otherwise, your yeladim(children) are tema’im (unclean); but now they are tehorim (clean). [MALACHI 2:15]
15 But, if the one who is an Apikoros(apostate- a person who renounces a religious or political belief or principle) separates and departs, let the separation occur; the Ach b’Moshiach(brothers in Moshiach) HAS not been enslaved(past tense), or the Achot b’Moshiach(sister in Moshiach) in such cases; but Hashem ('the Name’)- is used to refer to God, particularly as an epithet for the Tetragrammaton, when avoiding God's more formal title, Adonai ('my master’).)has given you a kri’ah b’shalom(calling peace).
16 For how do you know, isha(woman), if you will not bring your basherter (destined mate), your ba’al(Husband), to Yeshu’at Eloheinu (the Salvation of our G-d)?
Doesn't this make anyone sad? I'm 33, have no children yet and have desire still😭
Adopt. My cousin wanted to marry but did not find men willing to commit to marriage. She was not willing to be the perpetual girlfriend. She adopted and is a very happy mom of a child she got without fornicating.
At 35 you are still young you can still marry and have your own kids Never stop believing in God. Nothing is impossible with Him. Walk by faith not by sight my sister! 🙏🏽
@@zay4474 Thanks for this please be praying for that for me. My name is Caitlin.
Why does he say divorce is permitted in "repeated"cases of adultery?? Where in the Bible does the word "repeated" come up? It just says ADULTERY. Why is he adding, is this his own version of when divorce is permitted?
Many pastors add this because they want to emphasize that forgiveness is central to Christian living.
Yes, I understand but the commandment says "Thou shalt not commit adultery". Period. Not "Multiple times" or "repeatedly". It is up to the innocent spouse to decide whether or not they want to remain in the marriage. Adding to the Word of God is not necessary, it just seems he has a personal agenda to really be one-sided about things.
Callie Ballie
There are several conservative views on divorce and remarriage. This pastor believes all remarriage is prohibited, even if the divorce had grounds in adultery. Other pastors believe remarriage is allowed if the unbeliever wishes to divorce a believer or was preceded by adultery. Still other pastors add to scripture by teaching that those remarried can’t be forgiven unless they leave their present spouse. They generally don’t make a distinction in the marriage from the adultery it caused. The best way to interpret this issue is to understand it from it’s historic or chronological unfolding. That way you see what the bible allowed and if divorce and remarriage actually was prohibited later. This issue flows from Moses to Christ to Paul. If your view has them contradicting each other, you don’t have the right view.
That is obvious, but it doesn't mean he is correct.
True. While he doesn’t get the exception right (Matt. 19:9) or the “no longer bound” (1 Cor. 7:15), he is to be commended for not adding the “divorce to repent” supposition to scripture. By the comments left there seems to a few people upset with him for not interjecting it into God’s Word.
The Scriptures tell us that God no longer winks at ignorance, you did very well with Scriptures or ( GODS WORDS+ up till the end of this video, You need to redo this & speak GODS truth in every Word, Even the end!
The passage you're referring to is found in Acts 17:30. In this context, Paul is comparing the One true God to all the pagan gods that surround him. He is telling folks that it is time to accept Jesus. This is not a verse about varying opinions on the topic of marriage, divorce and remarriage.
The divorce and remarriage for adultery doctrine is based solely on the supposed guilt of the wife in Matthew 5:32, and Matthew 19:9. However, the wife in Matthew 5:31-32 is clearly not guilty of fornication because the Jews that Jesus was speaking to were still living under the law, and if fornication was discovered, there was a moral obligation to report the offender according to Deuteronomy 22:13-24. The wife, who would have been found guilty of fornication, was subsequently stoned to death, according to the law, which had still governed the Jews up until Christ's death on the cross. The same for a woman caught in adultery, according to Leviticus 20:10. How could a wife, guilty of fornication, or adultery, under the law of Moses, be given a writing of divorcement and be caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her, that is divorced? Jesus is clear, in these examples, that the wife is not guilty of fornication, but is still caused to commit adultery if she marries another man now that she is divorced. This is the only way that Matthew 5:31-32, and Matthew 19:9 keep harmony with Romans 7:2-3, and 1 Corinthians 7:39.
Unlike the synoptic gospels of Mark and Luke, which were written to evangelize the Gentiles, Matthew was written to the Jews, and has of 24 characteristics that identify it as intended for the house of Israel.
The ancient Jews called the betrothed (engaged) "husband" and "wife" according to Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Matthew 1:18-25, and Luke 2:5-7.
Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage) was never for fornication or adultery. Allowing those guilty of fornication and adultery to remain living and become a prospect for remarriage was against the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22:13-24 and Leviticus 20:10, which commanded that those who were found guilty of fornication and adultery be put away from Israel, and stoned to death.
The law of Moses was not given to the world, only to the Jews. From the exodus, to Christ's death on the cross, the law of Moses governed the Jewish people. But when Jesus died on the cross, he caused the Jews to be dead to the law of Moses so they could be joined to Christ under a New Covenant. This is what Jesus's fulfillment of the law of Moses, including Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage), means. Paul gave several warnings to Christian believers against keeping the law of Moses over following Christ and his commands under the New Covenant with Christ. Keeping the whole law is no longer possible for those in Israel and that is why Christ prophesied that the temple would be destroyed. These scriptures make it clear that if you choose the law over Christ, that you must keep the whole law: Romans 7:4, Galatians 3:1-9, Galatians 3:10-29, Galatians 4:1-7, Galatians 4:21-31, and Galatians 5:1-15.
Being unequally yoked to unbelievers is not a cause for divorce, once two become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, according to 1 Corinthians 7:12-14. Many one-flesh covenant marriages between unbelievers are recognized by God in the scriptures, most notably the marriage covenants between Herodias and King Herod's brother Philip, Potiphar and his wife, Ahab and Jezebel, and Ruth to her deceased husband Mahlon by Boaz when he took her to be his wife.
Some are teaching that 1 Corinthians 7:15 implies that those who are abandoned by the unbeliever, are "no longer bound" in a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The reason this is in conflict is due to the way they word it, which gives it an entirely different meaning, and context. 1 Corinthians 7:15, says, "15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace." As you can see, the actual scripture says "not under bondage," which means that the husband or wife is not enslaved to sin with the unbelieving spouse, and is free to worship Christ in peace. Subsequent translations have changed the words to imply that they nullify the marriage covenant, when this is not at all the case. The issue that this creates is with 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, which says, "10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife." As you can see, those who claim 1 Corinthians 7:15 has the Apostle Paul giving permission to remarry do not understand that the abandoned husband in 1 Corinthians 7:11 is expected to also remain unmarried, in order to be reconciled with his wife. The theory that 1 Corinthians 7:15 nullifies two as being one-flesh in marriage puts the Apostle Paul directly at odds with Christ, by implying that he has issued an opposing command.
Some also teach that 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 is referring to both divorced men and virgin women, and not exclusively to men and women (virgins) who have never been married. This has been falsely taught for some time in churches as referring to anyone who is not currently in a marriage, which, for them, also includes those who are divorced. This is a very false assumption, and puts these verses in a different context, that is at odds with both the teachings of Christ and the apostle Paul. We see Paul refer to virgins, which signifies the unmarried who have never before been wed, which is the proper context here. We see Paul saying clearly that it is good for virgins, which is also speaking to never before wed men here, "that it is good for a man so to be." He goes on to say, "Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife." Who is he referring to here? Men who, like himself, have never married. The word "bound", in these verses, is a clear reference to betrothal (engagement) and not to a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The ancient Jews were considered bound as husband and wife during the betrothal (espousal/engagement) before becoming one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, through consummation. This is affirmed by the context of the term "bound" seen in Numbers 30:14-16.
The Jewish couples in ancient Israel, who were betrothed (engaged) were also bound together until death, either by execution for fornication, or by other causes. Then Paul says, "But and if thou marry, thou has not sinned", which is who? The men who had never married in the congregation at Corinth. So he begins with verses 25-26 speaking exclusively to men that have never married. Paul then says, "and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned", which is speaking directly in regard to virgin women who have never been married, within the congregation, not divorced women. Notice that verse 34 says, "There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband." Paul speaks plainly when he says "there is a difference between a wife and a virgin." Paul goes on to say, "But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry." This is speaking of a virgin who has become of age to bear children when it says, "let them marry." This is a clear command, to a single man, who has taken a virgin to be his wife. Paul then says, "Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well." This is referring again to the single man who decides it is better not to marry, but to stay betrothed (engaged), under the present distress, by saying that he "hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin." Paul then says, "So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better", which again means single men, in the congregation, who have betrothed a wife, do well if they marry, and those who choose not to marry their virgin brides do better, under the current climate. For more proper context of the word "bound", let's look further down in this chapter to verse 39, which says, "39The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:39). For so long, these scriptures, between verses 25-38, have been twisted and used to enable divorce and remarriage, by wayward churches and teachers, and have caused many to stumble and to be trapped in unscriptural unions.
The use of the woman at the well, in regard to marriage, falsely implies that Christ was endorsing remarriage after a divorce. This teaching is in defiance of Matthew 22:23-28, which shows a woman who had been widowed seven times, and entered into each subsequent marriage without any scriptural conflicts with God's law of marriage (one-flesh covenant) seen in Genesis 2:23-24.
Mark 10:1-12 and Matthew 19:1-12 both record Christ's teaching that day beyond the Jordan. There is no mention of the words "fornication", "writing of divorcement", or "divorced" in Mark's Gospel, because Mark was not written to the Jews (as Matthew's Gospel was), but to evangelize the Romans and Greeks, who had no knowledge of the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22 or Deuteronomy 24. All of these facts draw a clear understanding that remarriage after a divorce, under the New Covenant with Christ, is a scripturally false and baseless teaching. Please use wisdom when living in a situation against what the scriptures command.
Dear Pastor, You referred to Luk16:18 "For example, a man divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery. And if anyone who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery" This verse is plainly stated and understood.
But I have two real life events and appreciate your comments please.
Case #1 How about this case, where a woman and man, they were legally married in church and after sometime the woman just abandoned her husband and left the country without any notice thus reconciliation on the part of the husband was not possible. Now the husband remarried again in church, would he be considered as committing adultery?
Case #2 This couple was legally married in a church and I was called to be a witness to their wedding. After approx 3 years the woman filed for a divorce in a civil court for "irreconcilable differences" and the court approved their divorce. The woman proceeded to marry a Muslim man but after sometime the man remarried an unmarried Christian woman in church. Would they be committing adultery as well? Thank you.
I don’t want to be single forever 😭 my ex husband put me through a lot. I just cry because of the thought of reconciliation with him.
1 Cor. 7:15
B C pray for him, it’s a spiritual warfare!
Your life should be focused of doing what pleases the Lord; not on what pleases you. Jesus paid the ultimate price (His life) so that we could have salvation. So, when you become a true born-again believer in Christ, you are no longer your own, but you are Christ's. "For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s (1 Corinthians 6:20)". Living for Jesus and obeying His word is worth it. We only live on this earth a very short time compared to eternity. "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us (Romans 8:18)."
You don't have to remain single for the rest of your life simply because your former husband did not honor his marital vows. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you are not free to remarry, including the person in this video.
@@dh605x Your husband by behavior may not be a believer, he has abandoned you. You are free to remarry but in the Lord and with understanding, if they are divorced, their circumstances, if it was on biblical grounds. There is much to consider but you are free to remarry, read the word, study and see God.
Wow yall are rolling on law?? Christ is the law in the flesh. Yes marriage should be for life, but things do happen. Some of you are lifting marriage above murder or in the same category as blasphemy of the holy spirit...you negate grace and mercy. What was the point of marriage??? So that a man and woman escape sin...fornication. So according to most of you a person finds themselves divorced and no they are not like Paul in fact 99% of the population isnt like Paul. So that means they are in a perpetual sin state of thinking and longing for intimacy but cannot for THE REST OF THEIR LIVES??? HELLO?? Christ stated if you think it..you have already committed the sin.....so theres no path for the person???? And no I dont condone divorce.
Nobody is lifting marriage above any sin but what we are saying that you must turn from all your sin murder and what have you. so that includes adultery. You people somehow think that god will excuse adultery and let you continue in that sin and be saved, but I have to turn from murder, stealing, lying and everything else. This is the price you pay for heaven. You have to deny yourself and pick up your cross and follow Christ. Do you know what deny yourself means? And on your 99%, the bible say few will make it to heaven.
J Harting Christ came to fulfill the law not change it. There are no outs in marriage but death. Adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God.
All unrepentant sin is unpardonable.
J Harting, I could back up what you said here with scripture, but right here you are just using common sense. Amazing. Can we call what's taught here "will worship?" Or Pharasitical?
@@lastone2145 I call it rabbinic Judaism. To remain in a remarriage is Moses' precept.
Ok , Then what about a spouse gets a divorce from you after 25 years of marriage, then 6 years later wants to get back with you? Is this the only person you are allowed to marry? Sounds like the answer would be Yes! I worked hard to stay married but gave up when for the third time asked for the divorce! I finally agreed! I was hurt once the divorce papers came in. How can this happen to me? Now after a few years reconsiliation comes up and I am surprised! I thought it was over and even brought up the problems during a conversation. Seems that I was missed and finally appreciated after being with others on dates. No one like me! I do care and like this person as a friend not as a spouse. I can forgive but have some trouble with forgetting the issues I had. Hurt feelings and to some degree emotional abuse. I want companionship and marriage but not sure if this would be a case of hurt me once shame on you, hurt me twice shame on me! Trust is an issue! We do get along but is that only because I don't have to deal with any issues anymore? Concerned that things will go back to the old ways of living. So the death of this person is my only hope? This is terrible! I don't want anything to happen like that and I am there when help is needed and vice versa. I get lonely from time to time and desire the bond between a man and woman. I feel doomed to being single for the rest of my life or married to someone who may or may not be good for me. We are both healthy and active. Our ages are 70 and 62. I know we are up in age and our companionship possibilities are getting smaller as the years continue. I have watched my mother remain single after the divorce from my dad. She is still alive and my dad died 20 years ago. She is alone and needs family to keep her feeling loved and appreciated. We don't always have a lot of extra time to visit her. Is that my end? I hope not!
Denis Ng you can not re marry someone to which you've divorced. It's a sin in God's eyes!!!! You can marry someone else and have it not be a sin!!!
According to Deut 24 you are not to remarry someone who already was with another spouse. I disagree though about how you are taught to remain single. Your spouse ended reconciliation when she got with another person. You are free to remarry, only in the Lord.
@@lastone2145 Well my ex hasn't married anyone else but wants to get back with me!. I am missed and finally appreciated! Not interested in rekindleing those fires again due mostly to lack of trust on my part mostly. Just remembering the low parts of our relationship has me concerned about future events possibly. Not that I hate just I lack trust and no desire. Again, the message here still sounds like I am suppose to forgive(thats fine) and forget(this is hard) and get remarried if I want to be married. Do you have any other piece of scripture releasing me of my situation?
@@denisng174 Remarriage to a former spouse you can't trust is certainly not mandatory. Remarriage to someone else is something you will have to pray about. Choosing who is the issue. I see people end up remarrying a different person too much like what caused their first divorce. There needs to be a clearing of yourself in any event that there is no longer something spiritual attached that attracts the wrong kind of person. I'd seek counsel and prayer about what your future holds and how to get closer to the Lord. I almost ended up with the wrong person, but the Lord told me to break up and I did. He later told me He had someone else for me. My first marriage is going to be my last because through God's leading I found the right person. I had to be led because none of this is simple. Been married for 42 years now. In my case I do believe God joined us together. We did have problems about 4 years into it, but God led us and helped us heal. What I can tell you that shows the teaching like this video to be scripturally unsound is to explain context and tense of verb. Plus they are adding to the word when they say you are in continual adultery if you remarry after divorce. Here it is:
The term "living in adultery" or "still married in the eyes of God" is a Catholic doctrine that came about in the 15th century. This interpretation was never found in any of the church father's writings or before the 15th century. The Catholic Church wanted to decide who gets to be married or not (divorced). What about abuse, gambling, addictions, physical abuse and threats? Jesus always took the side of the oppressed. Jesus always appealed for the ideal but recognized the real. Remaining married is always right but it is not always best. Sometimes divorce is the "lesser of the two evils." God even divorced Israel: "I observed that it was because unfaithful Israel had committed adultery that I had sent her away and had given her a certificate of divorce" (Jeremiah 3:8). Even if someone divorces for the wrong reason and later realizes the error and repents, divorce is sin, but not unpardonable.
Now for the position that Matthew 19:9 is talking about "continuing" to commit adultery: In the original, written in Greek you have to note context. For example: "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure, buried in a field that a man found and reburied. Then in his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field" (Matthew 13:44; emphasis added). He does not continue to buy a field. It cannot be said that the man kept on buying the field. This is a common use in the Greek. In this verse: "Send her away because she cries out after us" (Matthew 15:23; emphasis added), the situation involves the continual tense: "she continues to cry out." In 1 John 1:7, "But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses (continually cleanses) us from all sin," what we have in Greek is known as the "gnomic" present, and the limits of time on both sides of this type are not defined. It is known as a general truth and continuity is not under consideration here. As in Matthew 7:17, "every good tree produces good fruit...," there is no reference to time. Thus, we might read that "every time the incident of divorce occurs" it is one act of sin (one isolated act of sin) and there is no continuation. If you have been divorced, it is a one-time sin, not continual. You committed it, you are forgiven, and you move on.
This is teaching I copied but do not necessarily believe divorce is always a sin. But even if you are discussing this with the ultimate legalist, you can certainly take this stand about forgiveness.
Good teaching here: ruclips.net/video/aVY7S2UOd1s/видео.html
You can't go wrong learning from balanced teaching where they know the original languages. (sorry so long an explanation)
@@lastone2145 Thank you! I appreciate your help. I believe your right. makes sense!
so the part where he said if you are married now after a divorce and you were not explained this or did not know ..you do not have to leave your spouse....I don't know about that..if I were anyone I would be seeking God's counsel through His word..rather than leaning on my own understanding...
convince yourself that while your in adulteress marriage your ok with God then when your cast into Hell convince yourself your not there
Amen. I like that.
Amen it's a fact that alot of people are on their way to hell and there is no way out.
How about it's a difference of interpretation. Agree to disagree. You have doctrine taught here that takes things out of context, reads only part of the text, ignores the O.T. Examples? I'd give them to you if you really wanted to know.
Jesus forgives sins by his sacrifice on the cross. He didnt condemn the woman at the well with 5 husbands. Yes he said your first husband. What did Jesus do? He stayed with them for a few days. All those that are condemming will be condemned by God. There is nothing even murder which Christ can't forgive. All i see is hypocrites here which God does not dwell inside.These people Reminds me of the stoning of Mary Magdella. He who is without sin cast the first stone?? There is lots of stones of self righteous people here. We all know where they are going((
Lol. Truth. Sad but true. Convince yourself you're not in hell. That is so real. Funny to read in the comments but a very hard and sad truth for a lot of people
100% Biblical until the end.
WOW 😯 he sure did get it totally wrong at the end!!! Don’t understand how he managed to come up with that idea???
His desire to please the masses.
He said if you did it in ignorant its ok,But what about when u know better you do better and repent
@@millychap7849 Willful or ignorance, it's still a sin. Obviously willful sin is way worse.
Everyone is saying they agree with him until the ending statement. However, God will not hold you accountable for your sins if you did not know it was a sin. So, in the case of remarried couples that find God later in life, are they to divorce as well. I wonder 🤔
All people are under gids law. Doesn't matter If you're Christian or not.
To all the psychopaths saying he's wrong at the end, think about what you're saying for two seconds. The man said if the couple divorced and remarried IN IGNORANCE of what the scriptures say, then they are not bound to abandon their current relationship. He's paraphrasing Acts 17:30 where it says God overlooks what we did BEFORE WE WERE AWARE of the truth, but from this point on commands us to discontinue sinning. Why would God's solution to divorce and remarriage be ANOTHER divorce? How much pain do you self-centred bigots want a couple to go through? Its disgusting that so many people honestly think the solution to suffering is more suffering. When Jesus forgave prostitutes, He never told them "ok now I want you to go back and undo all your harlotry, go and un-sleep with all the men you slept with". He told them "go and sin no more". That is to say what's done is done but from this point in you are a new creation in Me, don't abuse that fact. Don't cause unnecessary pain for people already heavy laden with guilt. The bible is not telling them they need to have a second divorce. It's telling them yes they were wrong to have had the first, but now make your second marriage work. God have mercy on our conceited hearts.
You are not a true believer..... Christ forgives all are sinners but when we repent we are forgiven even when there is remarriage.
Chris L
STUDY THE WORD! DON'T JUST READ IT AND CHERRY PICK.
Ask for revelation!
God told the adulterer "GO AND SIN NO MORE!" NOT go and keep sinning. With that mentality then there will be no sacrifice at all.
Tamara Carlson you are living under law and if so, Christ has become of none effect to you whoever you are.
Tamara Carlson For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Romans 10
Steven James you misunderstand! That does not means there is no more Law! Christ does not contradict Abba nor himself. Matthew 5:17-19. Since all prophecy concerning Christ is not fulfilled the Law remains! Christ being the end of the Law means if you are renewed in Christ, The Holy Spirit now guides you by Grace to keep the commandments! For that is the Love of God 1 John 5:3. Any who say otherwise is a Liar 1 John 2:3-7
You are not the true believer because the bible say go and sin no more. If you truly repent (which means turning from that sin) you won't stay in the remarriage if your first husband/wife is alive. Why you all think that you can turn from all other sins, but God is going to make an exception to adultery and let me stay in it against his word and still go to heaven. It is not going to happen.
