The 9 points explained in this video are:
1. It Is Wrong To Believe That The Marriage Bond Can Only Be Broken By Death.
2. It Is Wrong To Teach That Every Remarriage After A Divorce, While The Divorced Partner Still Lives, Is Adultery.
3. It Is Wrong To Teach That If Someone Remarries After An Unbiblical Divorce That Their Only True Repentance Is To Divorce Their Current Spouse.
4. It Is Wrong To Teach That The Only Obedient Option For A Divorced Person Is To Either Remarry Their Divorced Spouse Or Live Celibate In Singleness.
5. It Is Wrong To Teach That Luke 16:18 And Mark 10:11-12 Cancel Out What God Says About Marriage And Divorce In The Full Counsel Of His Word.
6. It Is Wrong To Teach That If One Is Sinned Against In Marriage By Sexual Immorality The Only Godly Option Is For Them To Forgive, Reconcile, And Remain Married.
7. It Is Wrong To Teach That God Does Not Allow Divorce And Subsequent Remarriage In The Case Of Abandonment By An Unbelieving Spouse.
8. It Is Wrong To Believe That “Fornication” Or “Sexual Immorality” As Jesus Used The Term In Matthew 19:8-9 Refers Only To Sexual Sin Outside Of The Marriage Bond, And Not To Adultery Or Unfaithfulness In Marriage.
9. It Is Wrong To Regard The Teachings Or Traditions Of Men As The Law Of God Or To “Put A Fence Around The Law” For The Supposed Sake Of God’s Glory.

I have stayed single after being divorced 15 years ago but have so much joy and freedom to love Jesus more and more each day. ❤

God does not recognize Divorce expect for Fornication unfaithfulness between two single persons who are engaged / espoused.
Remarriage for abandonment is a doctrine of Men and a wresting of the scripture.
Divorce and remarriage was not permitted in many countries around the world only wealthy person were able to do so, until governments started to change laws to allow for it., this is where the confusion is if the law had not been changed all this wrestling of the scripture would not be possible.
God is not the author of confusion. But this is confusing and leading unlearned people astray

ADULTERY is a sin unto death.
Very good teaching and explanations on this very sensitive topic. I see you're getting destroyed in the comments by many who disagree with you, so kudos for having the courage to put this out there.
Thank you for rightly dividing the word on this subject. This is the most truthful teaching I have heard on the matter.
I divorced after 25 years of physical and emotional abuse. My husband bragged about being unfaithful many times but because of our five children I hung in there. When 3:were teenagers I reached my limit, and divorced my husband. He remarried a month after our divorce.
I would have loved to remarry but the Lord told me No, that He would be my husband. The reason He gave me is because I would be inclined to devote myself to a husband and not to God
I have remained single now 31 years. It really has been easier than the previous 25 years .
God is a wonderful husband ❤️🙏🕊️
Yes, he is.

You may not add a dot or a tittle to scripture. Divorcing for fornication is permitted to a Jewish audience or those engaged. Fornication is pornea. Marital sexual infidelity cheating on your spouse is Adultery or Moichea. Two different words my friend. Marriage is for life and Adultery is not grounds for divorce in marriage.
If so, then God himself didn’t have grounds to divorce Israel for their adultery.
@@wolfgangsebastian8357has God remarried another, or has He reconciled with Israel?
@@byronallen29 who said anything about remarriage? The issue is God divorced because of adultery.
I have a Christian friend who married and divorced three times before she got serious with her walk with Christ. She said one of the most profound things I have heard on this delicate subject we all need to take to heart.
"Had I known what the bible teaches about the commitment of marriage I would have done two things:
#1 ) I would have taken my time and prayerfully sought God's will in seeking a husband.
#2) Once married I would have worked a lot harder at making my marriage work.
do it now....follow the teaching, of the Bible....there is no...pass...for being or having been ignorant....
I can relate to your friend and totally understand....but still wonder if that's enough to make it right.
@@Kee_Is_Blessed143 The grace and forgiveness of God, accepted by faith in the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ, are sufficient to forgive ALL sin. That includes unBiblical divorce and remarriage. I hope you will listen to the whole message given by Pastor Guzik and accept by faith what the Word teaches on this subject.

Well said! He paid for all sin, and if we can't be forgiven for an unbiblical divorce, what about all the other sins?
Can I be remarried through the church after a divorce of a biblically divorce?
What bible are you reading? Marriage Is a covenant and can only be broken by death. You are teaching humanism from Erasmus and Luther.
I hope you are not a pastor because you are going to lead many a stray.
Lourens you are so right. It's completely sad that there are 4 ,COUNT THEM- 4 Places in scripture which descriptfully say remarriage after divorce while your Covenant spouse is still alive is ADULTERY! [Mark 10:9-12, Luke 16:18, Matthew 5:32, Romans 7:2-3] and yet "supposed" men of God completely ignore them and promote divorce and worse, remarriage after (to someone else)
People be warned : there are MANY famous preachers and evangelists teaching this. James 3:1 applies to them. There are also "supposed" Christian celebrities (even a former baseball star that's now writing books and has a so called "ministry" while on his 3rd wife) that are in DIRECT DEFIANCE of the Holy Word of God. Don't be fooled. These are Not Christ followers. Be like the Bereans and trust NO MAN but search the scriptures to see if each thing is true - Acts 17:10-11.

Jacob had two wives and fathered the 12 tribes of Israel through four different women. Abraham fathered Ishmael through Sarah's slave. David fathered Solomon through the rape of Bathsheeba. Solomon had 300 wives and 400 concubines. Just these four men alone were the most blessed of God, and yet all were serial fornicators/adulterers/polygamists. Just putting this out there to give you something to think about. Legalism will be the death of you, just like the Pharisees.
@@philarevolutionarywarriorp8295 is Matthew 19:9 out voted?
Remarriage IS adultery. Not my words, but God’s.
Luke 16:18
Mark 10:11-12
Romans 7:3
1 Cor. 6:9-10
The exception clause in Matt. 19:9 is regarding divorce only, NOT remarriage. The pharisees question was regarding divorce, not remarriage.
Further, Jesus was answering their question in response to Moses’s law, not God’s law. Moses made the law because of hard hearts. God never approved that, and it was not so from the beginning.
Mark and Luke specifically state remarriage is adultery. The apostle Paul confirms this in. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11.
Remarriage is the opposite of what God wanted in the case of the Israelites and Hosea and Gomer.
The church teaches that remarriage is justified after infidelity but that is not so. Remarriage is pursued in order to appease one’s own desires. Itching ears twist the scripture (Matt. 19:9) in order to serve self.
Paul was not speaking for himself when he stated that one is bound until death 1 Cor. 7:39.
Reconciliation is what God desires. That is what true forgiveness is.
Excatly💯
Didn't Paul said that a wife is bound by the law to her husband until he's dead and that she's only free to remarry when her husband is dead? NOT DIVORCED
Exactly
Now I understand why some churches are not discussing this very sensitive and deep topic.
He just took a hour to explain all of this. Stop bringing more confusion to other people. All the answers are in the bible. God wants the marriage to be and to last and not separate but he also forgive us of our sins if we truly repent from our hearts.

If she is legally divorced he is no longer her husband
Paul is using that an example about how the law works
@@normasoto4332 Amen
If you are divorced, like I am, do not be deceived, as I once was, into believing that God permits a divorced person to remarry while they have a living covenant spouse. False teachers have been preaching a false doctrine for 500 years, claiming that your spouse’s adultery or abandonment breaks the one-flesh marriage covenant. The Word of God is clear that only death breaks the covenant. Jeremiah Chapter 3 reveals that, although God divorced Israel, she remains his wife and He will take her back when she repents of her adultery. God’s idea of divorce is to put away one’s spouse if they are unfaithful or abusive, but to remain alone and unattached, leaving room for reconciliation if they repent. Only death breaks the one-flesh marriage covenant, which is between two previously unmarried or widowed people. Any other marriage is considered unrepentant adultery in God’s eyes.
Genesis 2:23-24 (KJV)
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Matthew 5:32 (KJV)
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Matthew 19:4-9 (KJV)
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
(Please note that there are over 20 characteristics which prove that the Book of Matthew was written to the Jews, who were still observing the Jewish betrothal (engagement) described in Deuteronomy 22:13-21, which was a one to seven year time of testing to see if the woman (who was referred to as “wife” during the betrothal) would remain faithful. A wedding contract (ketubah) would be signed at the beginning of the betrothal period, but there was no one-flesh permanent marriage covenant until the groom showed up to consummate the marriage. During consummation, the woman lay on a cloth, and the blood on the cloth from the breaking of the hymen was called her “tokens of virginity.” If she could not produce the tokens of virginity, she was put away and then stoned to death. In Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9, where the phrases “saving for the cause of fornication” and “except it be for fornication” are used as the only reason for putting away, this refers to what could be done only up to the wedding night, if the woman had been unfaithful during the betrothal. But, if the woman was able to produce the tokens of virginity, he could not put her away all his days. You do not see the phrases “saving for the cause of fornication” nor “except it be for fornication” in Mark and Luke, because Mark and Luke were written to the Gentiles, who did not observe the Jewish betrothal. Today, any previously unmarried, or widowed, man and woman who say wedding vows to each other and then consummate their vows are in a one-flesh covenant until one of them dies, even if they divorce-in which case, they are to remain unmarried or else be reconciled. Please note, also, that Jesus did away with stoning to death and also set the bar high for forgiveness when he forgave the adulterous woman in John 8:10-11, which says, “10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”)
Mark 10:2-12 (KJV)
2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Luke 16:18 (KJV)
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Romans 7:2-3 (KJV)
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
1 Corinthians 7:10-11 (KJV)
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
1 Corinthians 7:39 (KJV)
39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (KJV)
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
As you can see, remarriage after divorce, while one still has a living covenant spouse is deemed unrepentant adultery in God’s eyes, and becomes a salvational issue. The only way to repent of this sin is to stop living in it, by going through legal channels to divorce the person whom God does not recognize as your covenant spouse, and to remain alone as long as your first spouse (covenant spouse) is still living.
God bless.
Momentum in Life I would just like to add a few points:
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. Please use wisdom when living in any situation against what the scriptures command.
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.
The phrase "sexual immorality" being used in Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9, in place of "fornication", creates conflict with what is written about fornication and adultery in Hosea 4:13-14, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, and Galatians 5:19-21.
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 only four scriptures later.
The other false claim that is being widely used is that 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 is referring to a divorced man and a virgin woman who has never been married. This has been taught for some time in churches as to refer to anyone who is not currently in a marriage, including the 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 of 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 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 30:3-7. 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 the first two verses, speaking exclusively to men that have never married. If they were married, they were bound to a wife, but if they never betrothed or married, or if they were widowed, they were not bound. Paul then says, "and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned", which is speaking directly about 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 again speaking of a single, never before wed man, of youthful age, with a virgin bride who has become of age to bear children "let them marry." 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 to the man who decides it is better not to marry, but to stay betrothed (engaged) to his wife, 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 means that those among the never before wed in the congregation do well if they choose to marry their betrothed virgin, and those who are also never before married do better if they choose not to, under the current climate. For 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 unlawful 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 is the same biblical record of Matthew 19:1-12, which 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 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.
Herod and Phillip wife union was not a legal marriage according to John the Baptist that is why John lost his head, John warned them and they didn't like it.
Num.30:1 too.
Thank you for this Truthful, descriptive post. Holy Spirit inspired for sure. 🙏
Very concise and to the point, great job 👏
My ex attempted to murder me. I had to flee so that I and my child would not be killed. It’s unbelievable that people are still viewing my divorce as unbiblical. He also had an affair and people were saying I needed to be reconciled to him when God says adultery breaks the marriage covenant.
The Bible does not teach adultery is grounds for divorce unless you are reading one of those modern translations. I believe you did the right thing leaving an unsafe situation but that does not mean you are free to remarry.
@@wendymtzc The Bible does teach it is grounds for divorce. All Jews know this, and is why Jesus gives the exception of divorce in the case of sexual immorality. Also the reason why Joseph quietly planned to “put away” or divorce Mary for being pregnant. Sexual immorality definitely is grounds for divorce and is the main exception given in scripture.
@@wendymtzcalso you are wrong. If you get a divorce under unbiblical reasons, and do not repent of sins, and you remarry, then that is sin. Remarriage is not the sin, divorce is the sin. If you are divorce under biblical reasons, then you are free to remarry. Because even if you remain single , your spouse may get remarried so you both are accountable for placing your spouse in an adulterous situation. Divorce is the sin, because remarriage in an unbiblical divorce is the product of divorce. To say people are not free to remarry after biblical divorce and hang the belief of “continuous adultery” over the head of remarried Christians is unbiblical. Divorce is NOT the unpardonable sin, neither is adultery. Both can and are forgiven. Bible verse of the matter is to admonish brothers and sisters to come back and reconcile and fix their marriage as Christians and not just get divorced and marry whomever.
@@palee8928 sexual immorality is not the exception but fornication, which is sleeping with someone before you are married, the newer translation change words in order to teach all this nonsense, we can agree to disagree
@@palee8928 remarriage is adultery as clearly stated in scriptures, you can believe whatever you want though
You can get divorce if your spouse committed adultery, abused or leaves you but you cannot remarry. 1 Cor 7:10-11 makes this very clear. Your spouse might repent and come back. Separate, dont divorce. Jesus never say you can remarry, Jesus says just the opposite that if you divorce and remarry your living in adultery (Mark 10:11-12, Luke 16:18). Matt 5:32 ,19:9 Jesus says except for fornication you committed adultery, why does Jesus use two different words? Fornication is sex before marriage like Mary and Joseph, Joseph was going to put ger away. They weren't married yet or Jeses would have said except for adultery you committed adultery. Sexual immortality replace formication in some translation but could mean porn or thinking about it, thats not what Jesus said. Jesus used two different word. Jesus never allowed for divorce but Moses did because of the hardnest of heart( unbelievers). Romans 7:2-3 says only death breaks the marriage covenant. You even say it in your wedding vows.
It's amazing that the Lord has mercy on us.
Read Matthew 19 9 in the King James bible. The word is fornication not adultery. Married people cannot commit adultery, only single people. This scripture applies only to the Jewish betrothal period. This was the situation when Joseph suspected Mary had committed fornication when he discovered she was pregnant.
So you never address scripture and what Jesus says that if you divorce and remarry you are in adultery(Matt 5:32, 19:9, Mark 10:11-12, Luke 16:18, Romans 7:2-3, 1 Cor 7:10-11. You can divorce or separate but you cannot remarry. Fornication or sexual immorality is not adultery, Jesus used the word fornication for a reason it was the engagement period. Have you been remarried? God will punish anyone living in adultery! Sexual immorality can mean porn or even thinking about adultery, that makes no sense. The word Jesus used in Matt 19:9 is fornication and is the engagement period. You cannot stay in adultery and think God will bless you and not punish ongoing sin. David was in adultery but God punished him 4 fold for it. David lost his first born son, his daughter was raped by his step son, the step son was murdered by Absalom and Absalom tried to kill David and take the throne. 2 marriages have higher divorce rates and affect the kid for life.
The first thirteen minutes (your first point) is a pretty poor strawman. We don't believe divorce doesn't break the bonds of marriage. We believe that question is actually irrelevant because Jesus taught very clearly that anyone that divorces and marries another is committing adultery: Matthew 5:31-32. Yes, divorce is sometimes permitted, but remarriage always causes us to be committing adultery. That's the simple straightforward teaching of Jesus: It has been said... Moses allowed because of the hardness of your hearts... but I say unto you... It's the classic teaching pattern of Jesus and of the whole transition from the law of Moses to the heart-based commands of Jesus.
The second point raised a legitimate question for me. Matthew 19:19 phrases the teaching of Jesus in a subtly (but important) different way than Matthew 5:31-32, Luke 16:18, and Mark 10:11-12. I take the majority position, but this is an issue that bears further study. However, David fails to address this discrepancy, which is disappointing as that's actually the key issue.
The third point is a bunch of attempts to apply disparate Biblical principles and human reasoning to contradict the simple, straightforward teachings of Jesus that anyone who marries a divorced person is committing adultery every time they have sex with them.
Fourth point, see third point.
As for hermeneutics, it is you who is failing in basic logic. It's an insulting strawman to suggest that we are ignoring the rest of the Bible's teaching on marriage and divorce. We are taking those into account, but you're just taking them into account illogically. Just because God makes allowance for divorce in the NT in cases of sexual immorality and an unbelieving spouse, that doesn't change the teaching of Jesus that when you have sex with a divorced woman (whether you married her or not) you are committing adultery.
If one imitates your use of absurd sin scenarios to prove your point (saying it's better to murder your spouse than divorce because murder can be forgiven), which basically says that our view of D&R encourages murder over divorce, one would notice that your view encourages someone who wishes to divorce their partner, but has no Biblical reason, they can just commit adultery and then have a legitimate reason to Biblically divorce and marry someone else. Clearly your view leads to moral confusion. (Said very dryly.)
Furthermore, you consistently ignore 1 Cor. 7:10-11 which specifically says that if a spouse is abandoned by their unbelieving spouse, they must remain unmarried OR be reconciled to their original spouse, which is perfectly consistent with Jesus' teaching that one who remarries after any divorce is committing adultery. YES, the NT makes allowance for divorce and the severing of the marriage bond in certain circumstances, but 1 Cor. 7:10-11 and Matt. 5:31-32 makes it clear that you must remain celibate and that if you choose to remarry and have sex with your new wife, you are committing ongoing adultery.
I found this video disappointing because it mostly doesn't address the actual pertinent Biblical questions.
I have a question I would like you to answer. Is the wife in Matthew 5:32 guilty or innocent of fornication?
Hans Mast - bottom line is this false teacher is described in 2 Timothy 4:3-4.
Also, you have to look at the early churches, too, who spoke Greek. They have the position of till death do you part.
You can't repent for committing adultery with your new spouse and continue in that relationship. You must "forsake that sin" in order to be forgiven. Proverbs 28:13, Job 11:14, Isaiah 55:7, Ephesians 4:22. I know you mean well, but what I am seeing in your lesson here is that it is only your opinion that it is okay to remarry after divorcing due to adultery. Please show us specific scripture to support that you can remarry after divorcing due to adultery. Thanks.
Thank you for sound advice on this subject. I was discouraged from the kingdom hall when I saw first hand the amount of men and women who were openly disloyal to their husbands and who committed adultery. Divorce is such a sad process - it should never be entered into lightly - those who are disloyal will be rejected by God. God honours the loyal.
Hi. I currently don't have a permanent Church right now and I am seeking spiritual guidance regarding voiding my marriage. We didn't have a marriage license, we were married in court and we were never married at a church. The documents we used to forgo a marriage license were falsified. But we were married because of these falsified documents.
My lawyer says this is a valid reason for our marriage to be voided. But in the eyes of God are we married if we had falsified documents?
Many Thanks for that I am very grateful for your teaching. You teach with Love in your heart and that is clearly visible. God bless

I'm trying to insure people don't listen to unqualified RUclips commenter counselor's such as yourself. I'm sure there are plenty of sites you can go to that they would put little 🙏 hands and tell you great guy you are. They might even take your one line advice. Those that look for the whole counsel of scriptures tend to come here and other sites like it. It is unfortunate that you are too insecure and unable to understand what is being said. However you could solve the whole thing by producing the scriptures where Jesus told those remarried to divorce to repent. Courage and honesty would be admitting you can't find it and it is not biblical. Just one line will do.
Mark 10:11-12, Luke 16:18, Romans 7:2-3, 1Cor 7:10-11. Jesus says if you divorce and remarry you are in adultery. You go against scripture and Jesus. There are always consequences to sin. Second marriages have higher divorce rates and abuse of children is very high. How many people are remarried in your church? Sexual immortality is a different word than adultery. Jesus used two different words for a reason in Matt 5:32,19:9. Sexual immortality can be looking at porn or thinking adultery. Jesus was talking about the betrothed period like Mary and Joseph. Jesus said it's adultery to remarry, your wicked for twisting scriptures. What if you divorce and remarry and your former spouse gets right with the Lord and wants to restore the marriage like 1 Cor 7:10-11 says? You can't repent of sin if you stay in it. That's not repentance.

David, here is the problem. Probably 80% of divorces are not for Biblical reasons. By the way, a pastor that has been divorced shows his personal life is not under control. Your teaching does not follow Scripture.
You have shared some bold statements.

This is a very caliente topic!
God intended marriage to be till death depart them away or separate and stay single. It is cleared!
See God’s example with His people, after Israel went astray, He separates from Israel but never divorced it. He never went to look for another nation to Call Himself Husband of that other nation . Read the book of Isaiah, Hosea, etc. See God’s heart there. God’s intention is ALWAYS reconciliation! Marriage is a COVENANT.
Jesus said “expect for FORNICATION” which means that the person getting married was not virgen. Remember how serious this was in this culture.
KJV 1960 does not say “except for sexual immorality” if you take this as the true, that means you are allowed to divorce even if your partner look another person and desires him/her in the heart, if you watch a Hollywood movie with all the pornography there...
Metaphysical nonsense.
Amen
First, the marriage covenant is not unconditional, if it was there would be no need for vows. Marriage would be no matter what you have to put up with it. Jesus clarified this and straightened out the pharisees abuse of the laws God gave Moses.
You are teaching a very false doctrine which is not scriptural you are adding your opinion to scripture

Thank you David, really difficult to sift through all the teachings out there and live a life pleasing to the Lord. God bless you

False 😢
I don't appreciate this teaching on marriage, divorce, and remarriage. What brother Guzik needs to understand is this, divorce was granted to the people of God under the old covenant because of the hardness of their hearts. And it was for this reason only. Because out of their hardened heart came sexual immorality. And Jesus dealt with this when he removed the heart of stone and replace it with a new heart, a heart of flesh. Out of this new heart should come love, forgiveness, and compassion. This means anyone who chooses divorce still possesses the heart of stone. By removing the heart of stone and replacing it with a heart of flesh the lord made it very clear that his people should have no reason at all to divorce. ever again.
“He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 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. Matthew 19:8-9 KJV.....first off the book of Matthew was written for the Jews not the gentiles, if you are married to your wife how could she fornicate, if she has sex outside of the marriage is called adultery not fornication. So this verse is clearly is referring to before marriage. If a husband found out after he married his wife that she had had sex and was not a virgin he could legal divorce by the law. My brother David I pray you do more praying and studying on this topic before you begin to teach.
AMEN I second that
victor amen
Amen I third it!
How do you guys feel about God divorcing Israel? Was he wrong?
@@critical_mass6453 if God is the foundation of this whole entire universe. Then it literally impossible for God to have any wrong, evil, or unjustness in his character. Hence why he says that “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19 KJV......So him divorcing Israel was just and fair, but even still he still brought Israel back, he never found a new spouse right?
I do not think that your teaching here is biblically sound. Please study the passages again and rightly divide the Word of truth and understand the whole counsel of God. that says "remarriage while the spouse is still alive is adultery." God's design for marriage is for life. It is a covenant. It is a one flesh union. Though if someone suffers from a divorce because reconciliation and forgiveness cannot be attained, then both spouse should remain single.
Excatly he is false.

A married man with children is unjustly jailed for a crime he did not. His wife divorces him and remarried. Many years later DNA evidence clears him. What is this man to do? I believe the Bible allows for him to re-marry. The wife should not divorce her new husband and leave those new children from that union. God does allow for divorce and remarriage.
Matthew 19 9 is wrongly translated as adultery or sexual immorality' in modern translationa. In all older translations the word is fornication. This is because Matthew was written to the Jews. That is why it begins with a genealogy.. Fornication can only be committed by single people.. it applies to the Jewish betrothal period. The betrothal period was regarded as almost marriage. Joseph thought Mary had committed fornication. The word in the greek is not adultery.
Romans 7 1-3 is clear that only death ends a marriage..

My “Christian” husband divorced me after having an affair with a married employee of his (the woman happened to be married to a pastor). When found out , he got down on his knees and begged his other staff to forgive him. Never, not once did he show any godly sorrow or genuine repentance to me. He divorced me and within a very short time, started seeing a “Christian” woman who had just divorced her husband for non-biblical reasons. They fully knew they were not free to marry, but married [outside the church] anyway. Now they tout their blessings from God and seek to show the world (via Facebook videos) that they are so devout and devoted to Christ. I am left betrayed and blindsided. I can’t wrap my head around this and it’s been 5 + years. Where is the justice in this? Where was God? Now you say that even in their continued sexual sin (adultery) they shouldn’t be expected to divorce to right their wrong?
Their "marriage" is not a marriage. It is Adultery. Just because it is legal, civilly, doesn't mean God recognizes it.
They are definitely not serving Christ since he makes it clear that even the wife, who is innocent, is caused to commit adultery as a divorced woman, and whosoever marries her that is divorced commits adultery with her, and should remain unmarried.
My husband did the same thing, and it is on-going adultery that will send him to hell. If he were to repent, he must get a divorce from the illegal marriage and then I have the choice to reconcile with him or not. I have been 11 years keeping my vows without him here in my 37 years. I have a playlist of over 120 videos with the correct doctrine and testimonies.
@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways but acc. to this video he must repent before God but does not have to divorse the new women? But aren't you biblically free to remarry? He already broke to marriage covenant through remarrying another women.? Or am I wrong
@@marcomeyer7545 The marriage covenant is permanent until death of one of the spouses according to Jesus, not divorce according to man. All remarriage is on going adultery every single time they have sex. To Jesus it is no different than if they were having pre-marital sex or homosexual sex. The homosexual must repent and stop having sex. The fornicator must repent and stop having sex or get married to the person who has never been married before. All adultery sends a person to the lake of fire- Revelation 21:8 no matter if you are a believer. Unbelievers is only one category of souls that sin unto death and face eternal torment. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Galatians 5:19-21 have the same warnings. Mark 10 and Luke 16 give no exception or excuse for remarriage.
Many claim to be believers, but they don't prove it by repentance and living sexually pure lives. Acts 15 you must abstain from sexual immorality. My deacon husband was having a 2.5 year affair with my best friend at church while four pastors and about 30 choir members knew. The Lord Himself spoke to me to tell me since I had no idea that our marriage wasn't one of the very best in the church. He spoke to me two days after my 22nd wedding anniversary. I began fighting immediately for saving my marriage. Nine months later I became truly born again knowing the Lord personally and repenting of my own sins. My testimony is on my channel. He did not repent and two years later began divorcing me with the church's blessing. We had changed to a megachurch, and I spoke twice with the pastor (Andy Stanley) asking for help, but no. After fighting it as best I could, he got the divorce, married a much younger woman and had a child. They are very involved in the church, and I have been written out of his life with even my three children being part of his new family so they could stay friends with the extended family who all support the adultery. I haven't even lusted in 11 years and never date because I want to be ready to meet Jesus. The adulteress who was going to be stoned was told to "go and sin no more". To repent of a remarriage you must terminate it, move separately and if God makes a way, reconcile with the original spouse. If reconciliation is not possible, you must remain celibate until death ends the marriage. The Bible tells me so. Cadz.net has lots of information on people who repented from adultery in remarriage.
someone steals money....if they confess the sin.....who keeps the money...
You really need to hear what he is saying rather than only hearing your preconceived ideas. When you take the bible out of context having verses canceling verses you end up with man made fixes for sin. Your example of stealing.... let's say the thief repents and gets killed before he can give back what was stolen. Will he be forgiven? Your idea of repentance and being forgiven is man made and not from God. None of us deserve his grace yet God sent his son for all of us. Did you forget? Since you are playing God answer if the thief will be forgiven. Tough question? How about leaving the judgement to God and move on with your life.

Can I get a divorce if my spouse commits adultery? Never!
Can I get a divorce if my spouse is abusive to me? No!
Can I get a divorce if I no longer love my spouse? Absolutely not!
Can I get a divorce if my spouse has abundant me? No, you can't!
So, under what circumstances can I get a divorce? Absolutely none. The Bible is absolutely clear; only death can't dissolve a marriage In God site! Our only option is to separate from our spouse and stay single. If things get better between our spouse and us soon, we can get back together! (1 Corinthians 7:10-11, Bible.
But what about the exception in Matthew 5:31-32 and Matthew 19:1-9? There is no exception in Matthew’s gospel: Once you are married, you are married for life. The exception in Matthew has nothing to do with people who are already married.
*Supposed Perpetual adultery clause (Luke 16:18)(Matt. 5:31-32):
a. Herod Philip married Herodias. When Herod Antipas visited his brother, he wanted Herodias for a wife for himself. So Herod Antipas divorced his own wife, and married Herodias. She, of course, had to divorce Herod Philip first. The Jewish law does not permit such behavior (Lev. 18:16; 20:21). John the Baptist
continually said this was wrong. When he did this, he made Herodias very angry. So Herod Antipas ordered John's arrest & beheading. (Mark 6:14-28)(Matt. 14:1-11)
b. Therefore, the supposed perpetual adultery clause comes from a misunderstanding of Jesus’ words in Luke, who in protest of Herod Antipas, he condemned the relationship as adulterous which means that he rejected the legitimacy of the marriage because he stole his brother’s wife, which violates commandments 6,7, and 9.
c. Besides this shameful laxity, the Pharisees had never had the courage to denounce the adulterous marriage and disgraceful divorce of which Herod Antipas had been guilty.
Pastor D We do not live under Jewish Law, we live under the teachings of Christ!
“Comes from a misunderstanding”. Sounds like it comes from a right understanding. “He rejected the legitimacy of the marriage… which violates commandments 6, 7, and 8’. Exactly?
Where in the Bible permitted you to divorce and remarriage
All remarriages after the death of a spouse are considered valid, while all remarriages after the divorce of a spouse are deemed invalid. These two statements encompass the entirety of Jesus’ teachings on divorce and remarriage.
Btw David, in 1 Cor7 paul did not say tht after an unbelieving spouse leaves, the believing spouse can remarry.
Romans 7:1-6
Hes a false teacher
some valid points with lots of hyperbole and human emotion injected. Not good.
What sin was committed by leaving a second "marriage" that was not ordained by God. The second "marriage" was not ordained if the first was before God in a church. The suffering, Its just the aftermath of hurt feelings caused by the sin of not abiding in your true marriage Covenant with God. The potential for hurt does not relieve the requirement for repentance and Reconciliation.
To say that one must leave a homosexual Union, but it's okay to stay in , what is best classified as, an adulterous Union, is not consistent logic.
To murder a woman's husband to gain a wife, is murder, for the purpose of gain. True Repentance of that murder would require one to leave that which was gained by the murder.
The legalistic Stance of the unnamed Church regarding pastors and divorce is irrelevant to any arguement here. That is just an attack on that denomination implying they are stupid and illlogical.
You can't steal money and then ask forgiveness and repentance but not return the money. it's called reconciliation. Reconciliation is required for repentance whenever possible.
Excatly
Ok...answer this...does Jesus not say in Matthew 5:32 "That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery?" What is so difficult to understand about this scripture? The woman in this case is not guilty of fornication during Jewish betrothal which is the Mosaic Law that is clearly outlined in Deuteronomy 22:13-21. This man being a pastor should also know that Matthew was written to the Jews (Romans 1:16), and is the first of the synoptic gospels with over 20 specific characteristics that speak directly to a Jewish audience. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees that were preaching like the man in this video who believe that hardness of hearts that caused divorce and remarriage was ok. Jesus reaffirms the one-flesh covenant when he says to the Pharisees "Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so" (Matthew 19:4-8). Also this man is in error by teaching from the Old Covenant Law regarding David when Jesus addresses the Pharisees in Luke 16 as seen here: "And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery" (Luke 16:14-18). Jesus clearly is telling the Pharisees that the Law and the prophets were until John the Baptist began preaching the coming of the kingdom. Preaching on divorce and remarriage from the Old Covenant is serious error because it denies the authority of Christ. This man is mocking the scriptures and scoffing at those who are following the scriptures and not man's interpretation. To further prove this man is teaching falsely is the way he takes 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 out of context in an attempt to apply it to divorce and remarriage when the entire chapter of 2 Corinthians 6 is about ministry from beginning to end. What he is not telling you is that Paul already dealt with the topic of divorce and remarriage in his first letter to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 7. He is admitting that we need to divide the word and allow it to affirm other scriptures but either does not yet know that 2 Corinthians 6 is speaking specifically about ministry or deliberately ignores it in order to justify remarriage after a divorce. It should be simple but we have teachers like the man in this video sowing confusion and preaching to itchy ears. Another proof that he is teaching falsely is by telling you that 1 Corinthians 7:15 disolves a one-flesh covenant but is not telling you that Jesus is speaking through Paul by commanding a departing spouse to "remain unmarried or else be reconciled" just 4 scriptures above in 1 Corinthians 7:11. This man is literally teaching that Paul overruled Christ and says that the brother or sister is no longer "bound", but that is not what the actual scripture says. Here is the actual scripture, "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 7:15). The phrase "not under bondage" means slavery to sin against God by force with an unbelieving spouse, not a release from the one-flesh covenant as this man is suggesting. The word bondage always refers to slavery not marriage. The Word is clear. Matthew is written to the Jews first and was speaking on betrothal found in Deuteronomy 22:13-21, but clearly proves Luke 16:16 true in John 8:11 by forgiving the adulteress. By telling her to sin no more he is telling her to repent and return to her covenant husband just as God commanded Hosea to take back Gomer. The matter of being equally yoked in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 is regarding ministry, not marriage. This is easily proven by 1 Corinthians 7:12-14 where the unbeliever accepts that the believing spouse has found faith but wishes to remain and not hinder their beliefs. Many also falsely use the woman at the well as an excuse to remarry but this is easily explained by Matthew 22:23-24, where Jesus is being told of a similar situation where a widow marries 7 brothers, each after the previous brother dies. This both legitimizes and reaffirms the one-flesh covenant as well as the nature of Jesus's acknowledgement of the 5 husbands of the Samaritan woman, as well as the illegitimacy of the 6th man. If the 5 husbands were not covenant husbands then Jesus would not have acknowledged that they were. Please do your own research and be like the Bereans when it comes to this important and critical topic and seek the real truth because I can testify that in doing so you will definitely find it. God bless.
Thank you
@Douglas "whosoever marries her that is divorced commits adultery" (Matthew 5:32).
@Douglas what I previously failed to do, and what you are failing to do, is to understand why Matthew 5:32 says that the now innocent wife, who has not been charged with fornication, is going through a divorce which caused her to commit adultery if she remarries, and why it says that whosoever marries her that is divorced commits adultery with her. When you consider that the teaching that Jesus did that day on the coast of Judea beyond the Jordan recorded in Matthew 19:1-12, is also recorded in Mark 10:1-12, and unlike Matthew's Gospel, Mark's Gospel does not include any cause of fornication or mention divorce, as seen in Deuteronomy 22, and Deuteronomy 24. This is evidence that Matthew was written specifically for the Jews as it continually makes references to the Law of Moses. People are beginning to understand that the cause of fornication, and subsequent divorce only seen in Matthew, is directly linked to the laws that governed Jewish betrothal (engagement) and marriage in Deuteronomy 22:13-21, and Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage) respectively.
When you are able to see clearly that the only time adultery is mentioned in these verses is after divorce is mentioned, and those who have made it through consummation into a one-flesh covenant of marriage are not able to divorce and remarry, unlike those who were following Deuteronomy 22:13-21, as Joseph was purposing to put Mary away, during the time of betrothal. The scriptures in Matthew 1:18-25, and Luke 2:5-7 prove that the cause of fornication was not after two consummate into one-flesh but the betrothal period prior to the wedding night where the betrothed were to consummate their pledge into a one-flesh covenant of marriage.
This man in this video, David Guzik, knows that the entire doctrine of remarriage after a divorce is based on the supposed guilt of the wife in Matthew 5:31-32, and Matthew 19:9. He knows that she is not being charged, or found guilty of fornication in these verses. He also knows that she is not caused to commit adultery because she was previously found guilty of fornication, and that was because the penalty for fornication, prior to becoming one-flesh in a covenant of marriage on the wedding night, was stoning to death according to Deuteronomy 22:13-24. He knows that any wife being charged, and found guilty of fornication, would not be given a writing of divorcement in order to become another man's wife in accordance to Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage), but would be taken before the elders of the city, and if she could not produce the tokens of her virginity, she would be stoned to death outside of her father's house. How can an espoused wife, who is guilty of fornication, be given a writing of divorcement and set free to remarry? That would have been a total violation of the law in Deuteronomy 22:13-24. Now that it is obvious that the wife in Matthew 5:31-32 is proven not to be charged, or found guilty of fornication in these verses, she is being caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her as a divorced woman who was innocent of any previous marital violations. Do not listen to this man, or any other that so blatantly twists the scriptures. Remarriage after a divorce is a false doctrine that puts many souls in jeopardy.
To AJ you cite the sermon on the mount as defining divorce and remarriage in its entirety. Let's now go to the previous verses and make them define how to handle sin . So AJ do you have all of your body parts? We know the answer don't we AJ. Your ignorance of scripture and context is apparent and it is my prayer no one listened to your unjustified nonsense. When the testaments are taken out of harmony you end up with man made remedies. In the world of AJ the new testament was written before Jesus came. Then in his world the disciples made up their own law's and they never heard of Moses. Do not take advice from self appointed RUclips counselors seek qualified counseling before making life changing decisions.
The KJV allows for divorce for one reason only. That is fornication.
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.
Here is an example from the bible, Mary and Joseph were betrothed. A betrothal was an agreement/contract to marry. Mary was found with a child before they consummated their union. This would be an example of fornication ( sex without being married). Joseph was in his right to give her the writing of divorce. He was going to put her away privately, but we all know what happened after that. Thus, here is a perfect example of exercising Matthew 19.
He already explained that. Jesus was talking about divorce in marriage not in a contract to marry, betrothal.
Dave teaches God permitted divorce because of the hardness of their heart. Wrong! Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied , "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard, but it was not this way from the beginning.
Frankly speaking, this speaker is teaching the wrong things. This is a typical of a false teachers. They say yes to the clear teaching of the Scripture and yet trying to reinterpret it. It is like saying, Yes, it is true, but... Hahahahaha...Rev. Dr. Mangapul Sagala.
So what if I divorce my wife and then remarry knowing that as soon as I remarry all I will have to do is confess and ask for forgiveness and be able to stay with the new woman that I am married to? What do you call that?
serial polygamy....
Great point Stas
Called the fruit of an unbeliever, like those in Matthew 7 who say "Lord, Lord" yet Jesus says he never knew them. We needn't worry that people abusing God's laws will get away with it in the end. Being a Christian includes becoming born again, a new creation with new desires (2 Cor 5:17). Psalm 94:9 "He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?" Jezebel had Naboth falsely accused of blasphemy & executed 1 Kings 21. Does that mean God's law on the death penalty was unjust? No, but we needn't fear wicked people will escape God's judgment as we see in 2 Kings 9... and ultimately hellfire.
Adultery
It’s called adultery
Deuteronomy 24:1 Divorce was allowed during the betrothal period. If the betrothed spouse was found to have committed fornication. "Just as Joseph was going to put Mary away." However if the couple were in a legal binding consummated marriage, and adultery had taken place, Jewish law stated that it was a crime punishable by death.
Adultery was never an allowance for divorce. Allowing someone who was found guilty of fornication (before or during betrothal), or adultery (during the marriage), were not allowed to receive a certificate of divorce in order to be married to another. They were brought before the elders of the city and stoned to death.
@@ajlouviere202
Living with a woman was allowance for divorce wasn't it AJ?
This man is misleading. A false teaching. It’s all his own interpretation. There is no slightest sorrow/burden of God in this teaching rather inviting believers to a broad way.
Erasmus changed the original
Text on Matt 5:32 ‘Not even for’...there is NO exception clause. A careful study of original text is needed. Matt 19:18 deals with the hardness of heart (OT), we have been given a new heart in Christ. Deuteronomy 24 is mainly a judgment for the husband to not abuse the sending away of wife and therefore cannot take her back....we need to think through!
I have read Tyndale, Geneva, Coverdale and KJV 1611 and they all said fornication not sexual immorality. This very word is what's causing the problem. When people seek to modernize the holy scriptures, they do more harm than good.
@@sharmaineknowles4329 Yes that's correct. The Bishops Bible, Wycliffe Bible and original American Standard all also use the correct Word- FORNICATION. The Pastor in this video gives false allowances to people by appealing to their feelings and emotions. He will have an eternal price to pay lest he Repents. 🔥
Today i learnt of a Lady, whose husband was domestically violent to her and her children for many years... it was only until he cheated on her that she divorced him. she waited til then because she knew that domestic violence would not be accepted by the people of her church. if she divorced him before he cheated, would she be in sin? Surely God would not look favorably on a man who beats his wife and children.
go figure....violence is not an exception, of this issue...separation, yes, divorce and remarriage....no...
A man leave his father and mother and cling to his wife and become one. With that being said ... domestic abuse is not clinging to wife in my opinion. Also, becoming one in a marriage is not two sided. Emotional abuse breaks a person down after a period of time. Will a Godly person treat another in an abusive way??? I simply could not take it anymore. I did not want my daughter to think marriage should be that way. He is married to his sixth wife. Yes, you read that correctly.... 6th wife. Someway, somehow, he found a way to Biblically justify each marriage in his mind. Evil spirited man had a smear campaign ready for anyone that would listen. Repeatedly told lies and turned family and friends against me.

Only can marry a virgin or widows

18:45 there is no such thing as a biblical divorce. You are dead wrong and should be extremely careful to speak for God, especially on this topic.

I'm a single women of GOD who was married and divorced before I was SAVED and he abused me physically and cheated on me several times. I have people tell me I NOW have to reconcile back with him ( who is still on drugs ) or stay single the rest of my life. We are living in the last days and this is a crazy doctrine, I pray people really FIND THE TRUTH ♡!♡!♡
While there are people who lived in fornication for years and years before getting saved. Apparently for them it’s simple, you repent and you can start all over, nobody has nothing to say. But if they hear of a divorce, suddenly mercy and forgiveness don’t apply to you anymore! That is called hypocrisy! And God does not show ANY favouritism when it comes to repentance and mercy. If anything, people who slept around their entire life you would think it’s worse than someone who happened to divorce once because of abuse or whatever horrible reasons. Yet, people treat divorcees like some sort of criminals! No redemption for them. Ah the doctrines!!! God is big enough to redeem and forgive ANY sin. He redeemed Paul who was a murderer and cannot redeem someone who divorced because they were abused ???? People are so blind and just like the Pharisees ZERO mercy and obsessed to be right and follow laws they themselves cannot keep up with.
@@yhwhal WOW AMEN 🙏 spot on . This is religious people who cannot live what they preach. They act like there is no repenting from adultery . The murderer of Christians Paul repented and his sins were forgiven. The murderer is not still a murderer, same with the adulterer, he's no longer in adultery. What they don't say is UNREPENTANT ADULTERERS DONT MAKE IT TO THE KINDGOM. ALONG WITH ALL THE REST that reuse to repent and accept Jesus.. Jesus said MANY false teachers in last days
@@ambaonfireforjesus4802 Of course! But look at this , from 1 Timothy chapter 4:
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.
“ They forbid people to marry.”
First of all these religious people need to understand that not all marriages were unified by God. The Bible says “ whatever God has joined together let no man separate”..How many people go to God before taking this decision? What about unbelievers? Is it not clear that God does not join everyone together? Then a God who has called us to freedom and peace, how can the same God keep us in bondage to people who destroy us or for past mistakes?
There is so much religion and so little mercy. I grieve for the young women and men of course who feel guilty and are scared to start a normal life because of religious people. Is it better to lust then?
Not to mention someone who is mistreated and abused cannot live a normal life in the Lord. How do you live for God when you are full of worry, mistreat and abuse. God is calling us to freedom. Or how can you reconcile with an unrepenting spouse? It’s beyond the imagination how much torture religious people inflict on people ..
I pray to God that these people will be comforted and somebody will tell them the truth so they can live a normal life. ☹️💛
You are given wrong advice, it is not scriptural. Romans chapter 7, death, Mathew chapter 19 spouse has sex outside the marriage, 1Corinrhians chapter 7, desertion.
how many times is he os she allowed to divorce and repente under your view point
You cannot ignore GOD’S truth in the Bible, do what you want, tell GOD “ I’ve been doing this sin for years so GOD deal with it. I’m coming to heaven whether you like it or not. GOD I don’t agree with what you are saying. It’s not popular and no one here agrees with it” …. GOD will say, HE never knew you. SMH
I understand the biblical reasons for divorce but where is written that you can remarry wether biblical reasons or not? Maybe I missed it but I have not found it in the bible. Are we just assuming one can remarry if biblical.
First Corintians 7 gives a list
@Douglas except for fornication, not adultery. It's simple...those who are not yet one-flesh in a covenant of marriage commit fornication, and those who are one-flesh commit adultery.
@Douglas why does Matthew use the words fornication, and adultery in Matthew 5:32, and Matthew 19:9? Why not use adultery, if it is in reference to sex outside of the marriage bed, after two become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage?
@Douglas you are not understanding the context of Matthew as the only gospel of the 4 written for the Jews who were following the law in Deuteronomy 22. Do you dispute that a betrothed (engaged) virgin was referred to as a wife during the betrothal period?
Sir
You have the right to marry regardless of a bible. A Lawful right, which is from the Lawgiver ...its a birthright.
This guy is a wolf in sheep's clothing
Remarriage after divorce from a covenant marriage is adultery no matter why the divorce occurred. If you divorce from a covenant marriage you have the option of remaining unmarried or reconciling with your spouse.
@Dennis where do you see the word contract in the bible, in Hebrew or greek?
@Dennis And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
1 Corinthians 7:10-11 KJV
Not my interpretation, that's the word of God. If you believe God is double minded or contradicts himself, you have the wrong God.
@Dennis And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Luke 16:17-18 KJV
Also not my interpretation, but the word of the Lord
@Dennis Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
Romans 7:1-3 KJV
Once again the word of the Lord. No wiggle room. Jesus is holy and as such we who are called by his name must be holy as he is holy.
Brother you are in error with this teaching. What is written in scripture about divorce and remarriage is plan. Those who have the spirit of God, God will give understanding.

I studied the word on this subject, l am in the midst of a divorce for a second time, l had confirmation in my spirit l was on solid biblical grounds, but strong teachings from pastor Gino Jennings on this subject cast a doubt..as he teaches the opposite...l thank the Holy Spirit for guiding me to this teaching....peace confirms JESUS presence.

My wife left me for another man in our church, slept with him, then married him, they told God they were sorry and promised never to do it again, and still reman married to this day. Are they forgiven or are they still living in adultery?
This pastor has it all wrong and unfortunately will be stumbling many.
I'm confused. So what must the man do biblically?
Mat 3:8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 2 Cor 7:10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but wordly sorrow brings death. /// Saying I"m sorry to God holds no weight. Christians living as the world using grace as a disguise to live as the world brings death. Grace reigns through righteousness, death reigns through sin. When we repent we come out of, not stay into. What is your dilemma?
MikeCly, I have the same situation. My deacon husband was having a 2.5 year affair with my best friend at church while four pastors and about 30 choir members knew. The Lord Himself spoke to me to tell me since I had no idea that our marriage wasn't one of the very best in the church. He spoke to me two days after my 22nd wedding anniversary. I began fighting immediately for saving my marriage. Nine months later I became truly born again knowing the Lord personally and repenting of my own sins. He did not repent and two years later began divorcing me with the church's blessing. We had changed to a megachurch, and I spoke twice with the pastor (Andy Stanley) asking for help, but no. After fighting it as best I could, he got the divorce, married a much younger woman and had a child. They are very involved in the church, and I have been written out of his life with even my three children being part of his new family so they could stay friends with the extended family who all support the adultery. I haven't even lusted in 11 years and never date because I want to be ready to meet Jesus. The adulteress who was going to be stoned was told to "go and sin no more". To repent of a remarriage you must terminate it, move separately and if God makes a way reconcile with the original spouse. If reconciliation is not possible, you must remain celibate until death ends the marriage. The Bible tells me so.

Yeah. Run away from Gino He’s a fraud and a show man.
Search Greek translation of the passages that he bases his false teachings on. Then click on the blue letter Bible and it gives you the Greek meaning of the words. You will find the Greek work “G630” has been translated “divorce” when it is actually “send away” which is not divorce. If you look at the law and Old Testament sending away was the men of old just kicking thier woman out without giving them a certificate of divorce without giving her a certificate of divorce. But sending away is not divorce that is why it was commanded to give a certificate of divorce and send away so she was free to re marry. So if someone married or was with a woman was with a woman that was sent away they would be committing adultery because she is still married unless she was given a certificate of divorce. If she was given a certificate of divorce she is no longer married and free to marry.
Have you looked at the original Greek. The Pharisees were asking about sending away. Not divorce. If a woman is sent away without a certificate of divorce she is not feee to re marry because she is still married. The geeek reads whoever married one that is sent away commits adultery. It’s not divorce. If you read it the way the text is. There are no contradictions. If you read it as divorce that is inserted by biased translators Paul contradicts Jesus and Jesus contradicts his own law.

Absolutely NOWHERE in the scriptures can you find Jesus or the apostles telling anyone about remarriage. Matter of fact they strongly oppose it.
My conclusion is anyone that supports remarriage is either in it themselves or know someone close to them who is in it usually family members or their beloved congregants.
That’s been my encounter everytime I come across this issue with professing believers.
Follow Jesus Follow Jesus one will save themselves much grief if they just listen to Jesus.
Lol @22:25 “this would be to ignore the principle of 1 Cor 7 to remain where you are when you are called!” Yes, that’s definitely what Paul had in mind. If you’re committing adultery when you become a Christian, you should keep committing adultery! It’s funny how he’s not concerned with this principle when it comes to remarrying after a divorce, that’s fine of course, no need to be concerned with staying where you are. But if you’re thinking about ceasing from adultery, now that’s the time he really wants to be concerned about this principle! People please do not listen to this man.
Thank you so much. Found this "by accident" today when a friend is actually seeing a pastor about divorce!
I wonder how many people are going to be in hell because they SOUGHT out a man instead of GOD HIMSELF. Does your "friend" not have a King James Bible?
Hi Pastor David, I love Enduring Word and it is my go-to additional reference. I've recommended it to so many people. I'm so blessed by your love for the Lord. Thank you for all the work you put in it. I'm not understanding why according to the explanation on this video, when a man has divorced for unbiblical reasons and remarries another woman, if they are considered in adultery (as God does not recognize their divorce), why is it ok for them to remain in this sin of adultery. What is the meaning of their repentance if they will not turn back 180 degrees to start making their lives right with Christ? If it is to protect the children of the new adulterous marriage, who will protect the children and wife in the abandoned marriage? I am looking at these among other verses: Romans 6:2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?; Hebrews 10:26 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins; Matt 3: 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. Hoping for clarification. Thank you Pastor David.
I have had the same questions as you brought forward. This is not advice just my thoughts and should be taken as such. Once divorce has occurred and either party marries again there is no going back to the first spouse as stated in deuteronomy 24. Taking whole counsel of the bible God does not ask us to unravel the results of our sin only to repent and move forward in the lord. We all know that to reconcile would be the best but due to our sinful nature it does not always happen. I praise God every day for sending his son even though we don't deserve this gift. God has promised us in his word to wipe the slate clean if we repent. There is no act or gesture that makes us worthy only the love of our lord and savior. I think the hardest part is the question of why would God want me after the things I have done. How can he still love me and offer me this gift and all I have to do is call upon his name and believe. When it comes to making life changing decisions I think it people seek qualified counseling and not rely upon RUclips self appointed counselor commenters. I do firmly believe more sin does not fix previous sin and some spend their entire lives trying to unravel past sins only to miss out on the life God wants us to live.
If a person divorces for any reason, they cannot remarry while the covenant spouse is still alive (Romans 7:2-3 & 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 & 39). If they do, they are committing adultery (Mark 10:11-12 & Luke 16:18). So to repent of adultery, the person must stop committing adultery. This is the same with any sin. To repent of that sin, you must stop committing it (Proverbs 28:13). Many churches wrongly tend to give couples in adulterous marriages a license to stay in their adultery. Sadly, many Christians are committing adultery and many don't know they are. Do not believe anyone who says you can stay in sin because that is not of God. Believe the Bible no matter what anyone says.
Also, Christians do not follow the Mosaic law, they follow the law of Christ. Please read Hebrews chapters 7 & 8. Christians can reconcile with their covenant spouses if they have separated from or divorce them (1 Corinthians 7:10-11). The Old Covenant law in Deuteronomy 24:1-4 that allowed the Jews to divorce was refuted by Jesus in Matthew 19:3-8 and Mark 10:2-12. I hope this helps.
@@godgavemeeyestosee
Please share the scripture where Jesus told those remarried to divorce to repent. I have not been able to find it and it would help a great deal if you can produce it. If divorce and remarriage is the same as any sin let's see. A murderer repents do they have to bring their victim back to life to be forgiven or can they repent and be forgiven. A person gets divorced and repents of their sin are they forgiven? Washed clean like the murderer? Neither one is washed clean? How far is east to the west ? Do the scriptures lie and we should listen to you? An unwed woman gets pregnant should she get a abortion to repent of her sin since she would not be forsaking her sin any other way? Is God holy and immutable? Where do you get Jesus changed the laws God gave Moses? Didn't Jesus exactly say he did not come to change the law? Didn't Jesus show the true morality of the law? I've got so many unanswered questions and not one of the divorce to repent people have been able to adequately answer them. Hopefully you will be different. Please share where your ministry is, when you got your degree in theology, where you can be reached for those that take your advice, where did you get your certification to counsel people? If you needed a heart transplant would you go to a qualified surgeon with facilities and read the bible or to someone with no qualifications that said they read the bible on RUclips? These are important questions and since you are handing out advice don't you think people should know whom they are getting advice from?
@@timsadventures1954 Adultery is a sin, so everywhere in the Bible where it says to forsake sin, that includes adultery and adulterous marriages, too. Jesus told the woman caught in adultery to go and sin no more (John 8:11). nThat meant she had to forsake, quit, leave her sin of adultery. Another verse says, "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh shall have mercy (Proverbs 28:13)." Here's another one: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14)." Here's a passage of scripture that says adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 9:9-10). Galatians 5:19-21 also say that adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God. I hope this helps.

You failed to share anything I asked for so for everyone's knowledge.
1. Nowhere in the bible does Jesus tell those remarried to divorce to repent. It is your supposition that requires this.
2. You didn't answer if God is holy and immutable. So you are either an atheist or it doesn't work with your doctrine. Either way that is on you.
3. Since you are counseling people you didn't include any of the pertinent information. Everyone should then realize you have no qualifications or formal training to counsel anyone.
4. You didn't explain how these who repent are not forgiven. Everyone needs to realize you have no scripture backing your claims only supposition.
5. Your example of the woman caught in adultery was it because she was married a second time? Was she single with a married man? Was she married with a single man? Let's investigate. Did the accuser's state you are in your second marriage and that's adultery? No they didn't only your supposition has that happening.
6. You didn't answer if one commits a sin they remain in after they repent? Does this mean the divorced person remains in their sin until reconciled? Does the murderer remain a murderer after they repent unless they bring their victim back to life? Go ahead feel free to counsel God on whom is forgiven.
7. Since you are so sure those remarried are adulterers continually why didn't Jesus state exactly this? This goes back to my first question that you avoided.
8. Is the pentateuch suspect and deuteronomy 24 is not God's word? God didn't ask for your permission before he made the laws?
Now instead of avoiding the questions and being deceptive answer them honestly.
I hope this helps you realize you were asked very direct questions that you failed to answer.
I disagree with you. Read again Genesis 2. Don t think as the pharisians! God hate divorce! See in Malachie ! The divorce is come with an hard heart and sin!
You should teach one only marriage and shouldn t teach false doctrines . At the beginning it wasnt also says Jesus!
what is repentence.....or when does repentence change a sin, into a non sin....
Will you explain the gospel of Paul and what we are to do to recieve salvation through Christ?
Repentance never changes a sin into a non sin. People who are gifted eternal life in Heaven are sinners too. The difference is that because of their heart, their sin may be covered by the blood of Jesus. You see, Jesus gave His life in order to pay the price for our sin. If we truly desire and seek God, through a repentant and faithful heart, our sins are cast away as far as the east is from the west. God looks inside a person unlike man who can only see the outside. You can look good to everybody around, but God knows your true hearts desire. Repentance means to turn away from sinful acts. This simply means that an act of sin should be repulsive to you. You will still sin in your life because we are weak people, but it should not be a normal thing. If you ask forgiveness from a genuine heart and make every effort to never do that again, God will forgive you.
@@timsadventures1954 The Christian world makes this sound like such a simple thing.
It really is simple, but not so simple for those who don't know.
The first step is to forget everything you think you know about God and how this world works. Once you recognize that you really don't understand but that you want to understand, then you can open your heart to allow room for God to reveal things to you.
Don't try to justify things in this world that happen by your own standards. God is far beyond our standards and we often fail to see that. His standards are what we should reach for, not our own. Don't look to others for teaching you. Seeking God is not done through man. Simply start to talk with Him. Go by yourself somewhere and pray. You may not seem to get any answers from God even for a while of doing this but don't give up on Him. Even when it seems you are speaking to a wall or a empty room, stay focused on God. Yes, man can teach God's truth to others if blessed with that, but your learning from what you hear only comes by God's allowance.
Start reading God's word. Yeah, yeah,....you can't understand it. That is OK. The word was spiritually written and must be spiritually discerned. That means that your understanding only comes when God reveals it to you, allowing you to understand. Preachers, religious family or friends, famous writings or any type of man's teaching will only mislead or confuse you unless God allows your understanding. Start trying to change your behavior. Your desires, habits, and influence in your life. You are not going to be able to find success yourself, but God only wants to see your true desire. Your success comes through Him. You can never do anything to earn an eternal life in Heaven. That means that your trying to change your behavior does not earn you anything, but your actions reveal your true hearts desire. God wants to see what you really care about. What do you you really desire? This is what the book of James is saying when it says that faith without works is dead. It is not saying that your works earn you any credit, but rather, your works reveal what is truly in your heart. If your works are willfully sinful then your faith is dead.
If you truly desire to know Him, knowing in your heart that Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice to pay the sin debt the we people could have never paid, ask Him into your life and ask Him to change you. Seek His will and repent from sinful ways.
Remember that even though you may not see a choir of angels singing in the sky, you my not hear any voices from the Heavens, and you my not get a hand shake and a congratulations from Jesus all of a sudden, God has heard you and He knows your heart. Don't let man or man's evil way push you away from God. The prince of this world will tell you that your efforts are for nothing and you will be under attack. If you stand on faith that Jesus has already overcome all and that He will go through the fire with you, then you will have victory in the long run. That victory comes from Jesus.

Thank you for your response.
I ask you to not assume what anyone's faith is or is not.
I do agree with much of what you have said however we have all had those that teach us throughout life.
To assume teachers are not needed is not an accurate statement. How did you get your basic learning tools such as reading, writing, and math?
Many have said the holy spirit has led them and many times it is just the opposite of another holy spirit led person. Do we no longer need to gather together to discern? So we do need teacher's and we need to gather to help us discern. Jim Jones who claimed God told him to go to Ghana led his followers to their demise.
Those that refuse to learn anything from those that know more have a problem with pride and should address this sin.
I do agree with much of what you said but RUclips is full of those that claim to be led by the holy spirit. Those that are led by the holy spirit will show it through their actions and heart not by the internet or by saying so.
Blessings
Are you unrepentant while remarried?
Yes, if your first spouse is still alive.
Thank you for this teaching. I am a widow. I have often thought about this.
The woman at the well had been married 5 times and was living with a man who wasn't her husband. Jesus did not tell her to return to husband #1, #2, #3, #4 or #5. Certainly ONE of those previous husband's was still living. He also didn't condemn her to hell. Why did He stop and offer her "living water" if her choices already doomed her soul? Because they didn't. If He can offer salvation to a 5 time divorcee then maybe we need to do the same.
So beautifully expressed and explained, echoing the true Spirit of Christ Jesus our Lord. Thank you for sharing this, God be with you!
The bible says repent and forsake his sin...
I'm in a situation where I'm about to get remarried and iam holding off bc of what Gods word says
So if a unmarried woman gets pregnant she should get a abortion as remedy for her sin of fornication? If she has the baby and keeps it won't she be living in sin? Now it all makes sense we are able to be forgiven by our acts and the grace of God even though we don't deserve it has nothing to do with it.
@@timsadventures1954 1Getting up, He went from there to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan; crowds gathered around Him again, and, according to His custom, He once more began to teach them.
2Some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was lawful for a man to divorce a wife. 3And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?” 4They said, “Moses permitted a man TO WRITE A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her AWAY.” 5But Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. 6“But from the beginning of creation, God MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE. 7“FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, 8AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9“What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”
10In the house the disciples began questioning Him about this again. 11And He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her; 12and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery” (Mark 10:1-12).
@@ajlouviere202
Well well it's AJ that can't explain the context of the scripture he quotes. Where is the scripture I have asked for repeatedly? Afraid to admit its not there? The only thing standing between you and knowledge is your sinful arrogance.
@@timsadventures1954 do you use the baby as an excuse to be in adultery......
Dear Mr. Guzik, a Calvary distinctive "If the plain sense makes sense seek know other sense!" The New testament teachings on divorce and remarriage is always in a negative (sinful) connotation.(Why did John the Baptist lose his head)? Except for Matthews exception clauses (19:9; 5:32) the new testament passages are all in agreement with each other. If Jesus had intended marriage to be a contract and not a covenant (until death) he would have stated that clearly. Why doesn't Matthew state adultery instead of fornication? If you do a historical study of the Jewish betrothal period (as with Mary and Joseph) you will see that the word fornication in Matthew is completely consistent with Joseph putting Mary away. God gave Israel a writ of divorce for her spiritual harlotry (adultery) but God never took another spouse. In fact God expressed that Israel was still his wife and longed for her to return to him. This is consistent with Gods great grace and our relationship with him. Does God discard us when we sin and seek another?
Exactly!
Very well said!
Did you even listen to his sermon? He addresses these. We shouldn't cut out verses we don't understand... We can't be like the Jehovah Witnesses who reject Jesus as God because of verses which clearly indicate Jesus being man too.
@@JonathanColegrove By listening to the sermon we learn of a man twisting scripture to justify divorce and remarriage after said divorce.. He lies and tries desperately to reword certain scriptures to find loopholes that clearly Aren't there. I suggest you watch again and read you BIBLE as you do (preferably KJV, ASV, OR TLB, because other modern versions are False). Maybe you'll see the Wolf in sheep's clothing that the rest of us see.
@@philarevolutionarywarriorp8295 great rebuttal thanks Brother 😊
I will hear your video like numerous others I have listened to but my personal experience was that God told me not to marry a divorced woman as would be sin and told me to read and understand the so called exception to remarriage in Mathews gospel -I found there was none but was talking about fornication before marriage not adultery as that's what the word means.
The greek word 'porneia' was used, which is a broad term for any kind of sexual sin. In the Greek Septuagint version of Hosea, the word 'porneia' was used all throughout the book to describe Hosea's prostitute wife committing sexual sins against Hosea AFTER Hosea had already married the prostitute.
The word 'porneia' without a doubt means any kind of sexual sin, and the Greek version of Hosea proves that this kind of sexual sin can be committed against a married spouse.
The only reason people accidentally think this is talking about unmarried people is because the KJV translated the word 'porneia' to the word fornication in English, which is a different word than adultery. It's a KJV translation issue. The original greek does not use a word meaning sex before marriage. This is proven by its use in the book of Hosea in the Septuagint version of the Old Testament.
@@TJMcCarty
Negative.
Hosea was told by God to first marry a prostitute with children of fornication then to be with a married woman who has another sex partner.
In the book of Hosea, the LXX is clear that Israel was both compared to a prostitute as well as an adulteress.
Israel had many lovers of false gods so to speak from multiple nations so best compared to a prostitute rather than a adulterer
even though both are mentioned as Israel is likened to Gods wife.
God likens Israel to both a adulterer and a prostitute using the words "go a whoring", or "play the whore" even though she was married in a sense to God as Israel didnt commit adultery to just one nation but to many nations.
This is why Hosea first had a prostitute as wife then also was with a married women.
Fornication or sexually immorality as you like to call it is not a general term but means sex before marriage.
Hosea makes this very clear:
Hosea 4:14 (LXX) - And I will not visit upon your daughters when they shall commit fornication (πορνεύσωσι - pornea),
nor your daughters-in-law when they shall commit adultery (μοιχεύσωσιν - molchai)
Though you, Israel, play the harlot...
So here a married woman if she have sex with multiple people all the time plays the whore even though she is actually married.
In reality its multiple adulteries but playing the whore explains it better. Note - its "playing" the whore as in acting like
without actually being one...this should be obvious.
To say Pornea covers all sexual sins contradicts multiple scriptures in the New Testament where both words are
mentioned in the self same sentence - meaning they are not the same thing and one does not cover the other one.
So good Pastor Guzik! Thank you. Cleared up a lot of questions for me. 🙏
