GREAT message of truth! We need more videos like this, the church and Pastors need to repent of giving divorce as option. Thank you for spreading the truth about marriage covenant.
This video answered my questions and gave me peace in my spirit. My husband has been gone for over a year and has started a new life. I was searching for a way to divorce. I searched the scriptures and watched many videos and yours was the only one I found that lined up with the word. Thank you so much. I pray for my husband and his girlfriend everyday and I will keep my vows to GOD and my husband until death do us part.
Jesus never said that only death can separate the marriage. but in Matthew 5 : 32a, 19 : 9a Jesus says to all married men : Except for fornication/sexual immorality of Wife, husband allows to separate or divorce his unfaithful wife and he can remarry (of course a woman who never been married or virgin) When a wife commits sex with other man, she has separated from her husband and she is defiled, she is not wife no more.. But to all married women, NO EXCEPTION. a wife does not allow to divorce her husband even though.he is fornication, abusive, abandon her. But in 1 Cor 7 : 11 Lord commabd : if a wife is depart from her husband let her remain unmarried or.be reconciled to husband. she is free to remarry only if her husband dies. Husband is separated from marriage if his wife is naturally dead and sexual immorality. Wife is separate from marriage only if her husband died.
Yes, because what sin dies of old age. Yes, because it is easier to not follow God's word. To do as you please and claim to be in christ is the broad way. The narrow way is leaving the sin and living in the word.
This is one of the most truthful and honest teaching on this topic I've heard! I'm grieving for some friends in Christ who's had spouses walk away from them, and it's prompted a deep need to seek out the scripture on who to support and council them in what they now must do. personally my husband and I have already decided (though we know would never divorce) that we'd not ever remarry. This was before I studied and found the the word does not condone remarriage to the believer. thank you for sharing and I pray many more will seek the scriptures and not mans laws and knowledge instead of God's truth! God bless
Thank you for this message!! I pray that God blesses your family for the truth you put out there. It's this message that is so watered down in the church that causes so much blindness, but PTL you and your wife stand firm on HIS teachings no matter how hard or uncommon they are. :) God bless!!!
God is amazing. I was an adulterer and fostered that atmosphere in my home and to my wife. I was met by God and if changed my heart. Now i have the opportunity to wait and stand for my marriage as she has divorced me and started a new relationship. And God has so humbled me so i can't say anything. I have no credibility! I get to pray and wait! I am honored to live as God does for us.
I stopped this video at 1 min. and 38 seconds. I did that so I could say this, the maker of this video just said the same exact thing God said when he spoke it by the spirit through his son Jesus.
What if my wayward spouse (Alexis) divorced me after all of 7 months of separation and praying? If she were to divorce me, THEN what should I do? I am praying for her to come home and be MY wife and a mother to our children. PRAY FOR US AND FOR HER PLEASE!
I am so sorry this is happening Charles...I am praying for you and for her. This is where I stand on this issue (see video link at the end of this message). You need to pray and fast as to what the Lord wants you to do - listen to different understandings on what the scriptures say concerning this issue. God be with you, brother. Divorce...Does Jesus Allow Remarriage?
If I were in your shoes, I would publicly broadcast her as an adulteress and humiliate her until either she comes back or I even just get sent to the chair.
John that will never work. You can't humiliate someone into loving you or doing the right thing. I'll be honest with you, not everyone will get a restored marriage and they need to be ok either way. I prayed for my marriage to be restored and it wasnt. It took him 13 years to even reach out to me an apologize. He does not want to get back together and neither do I but th apology was nice.
As we get in the end times, there will be a huge number of people who are left behind because they did not believe in keeping pure in marriage and they led others into adultery/remarriage. Good news though, I gave this instruction to a woman a couple of years ago and she actually listened and acted. She has been remarried to her first husband after 21 years of divorce!!!! Thanks for how you have remained faithful to the truth these years when "educated" church men would say you are wrong and that this is legalism. NOT. I have some of your videos on my playlist of over 40 videos, but there are a lot of others on there too, including some who have written books (David Pawson and Tim Webb) and those who have radio programs too. You have made sure that your doctrine is true! Now we know [without any doubt] that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully and appropriately, 9 understanding the fact that law is not enacted for the righteous person [the one in right standing with God], but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for [a]kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers-and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted. 1 Timothy 1 3 For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold, 4 and will turn their ears away from the truth and will wander off into myths and man-made fictions [and will accept the unacceptable]. 2 Timothy 4 Thanks for your courage. I pray that those who watch these videos will repent!
My husband and I are in the middle of divorce and it's not by my choice I have asked him several times to stop and work on our marriage and he refuses his heart is extremely hard and and he is so deceived I'm praying for God to break his hard heart and break his will and that God will do whatever it takes to bring my husband to repentance and back to our marriage
Even Jesus' disciples said that it's better not to get married. Jesus advised people to stay in life-long singleness like him. I think more people like myself should follow his wisdom in this matter. It's not that hard to to be a life-long virgin, everybody.
AMEN we always must minister to people to be READY AND WAITING TO RECONCILE true covenant marriages if we teach anything else we are on the side of keeping covenant spouses apart..
People are so anxious to marry. Falling in love is easy, but then the infatuation wears off and the covenant vows are betrayed. Other than an illegal marriage - or possibly an unequal yoking between a Christian and a lost - but if they had children, then the nuclear family is busted, and if there’s a remarriage, then it’s generally worse for the children and their identities get confused.
It is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, as Jesus said no one comes to the Father except by him. When you blaspheme the Holy Spirit .you deny Jesus as Lord/God. So there's no way for you to talk to or have a relationship with God....no salvation.
If both my first spouse and I remarried other people can we ever go back and remarry each other again or is that an abomination? (Jeremiah 3:1) I am open to remarrying my original spouse I just want to make sure it is not a sin to reconcile after marrying someone else. Do I need to remain unmarried? Please someone clarify this for me. Thank you!
You may want to fast and pray about this, there is a verse in Deut, Im paraphrasing, but Im sure you can find this verse, however it says something like that if the man puts away his wife, and she marries another, she commits adultery, and if her original husband goes on to marry someone else, and then he later puts her away and wants to be reconciled back to his original wife, then they both defile the marriage bed, its an abomination to the Lord.. meaning, God does not recognise it as a Holy Union, it is defiled... We are in the Last days, God is calling us out of all sin, so becareful, if your in adultry come out of it.. we are on the brink of the Great Tribulation... we need to get our houses in order... Ps: Dont take the MicroChips or the Vaccines (666 warning - They are DNA altering) and you will lose your soverignty (rev 13), stay vigilant, because things are happening rapidly.
we need to instill in our kids that even if they marry the anti Christ, it is covenant if it is a first time marriage and can never be sin to be repented of #remarriageisadultery
Huh? The Anti-Christ? I dont understand your comment, I know God says to not be un-equally yoked to an unbeliever, but you have to remain in that marriage unless the unbelieving spouse leaves the believer...However you comment has thrown me off... you need to be more specific with your expression, to marry the Anti-Christ is a bit much, God doesn't approve marrying satan, like in Genesis, the fallen angels mixed their seed with women, this is forbidden. please use examples that people can relate too, this is such a horrible example.
Thank you for the video. Im in agreement with your Biblical position. Quick question, we have ZERO churches in my city that preach against divorce and remmarige. Do I still attend those churches? The Bible speaks against aiding the hand of the enemy...
If ONLY Adam and Eve had never eaten the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, there would be no commands to take up your cross, die, annihilate the body, be perfect as God Himself is perfect (as in perfectly obey to the very letter, without fail, without stumble, without fall, every single one of the 1,663 commandments between Genesis 1:1 and Revelation 22:21), etc. And saying it was God's plan for Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit is the equivilant of saying that man was never made for the Earth, and neither was the Earth ever made for man; the Earth was built to be eternally forbidden to the human race, and it shall be even easier for the cruise ship MV Harmony of the Seas to pass through the eye of a fish hook than for a human to enter eternal life and skip Hell.
let's go to the beginning, in Genesis 2: 20-25 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found an help meet for him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. The NT confirms that in 1 Corinthians 11:8-9 For man is not of the woman, but woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man. Going back to Genesis 2: 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one FLESH. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Unfortunately, many marriages end up in divorce without seeking nor searching the scriptures in the Old and New Testament to find out how unpleasant the answers for loopholes and accommodations to please the flesh will be. We start with Mathews 5:31-32; 19:3-9, Mark 10:1-12; and Luke 16:18 Jesus, commanded man (AND NOT WOMAN) the only grounds to put away his wife was for the cause of fornication. (AND the only scriptural mentioning a wife is found in 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 where we have Paul giving adivce and regulations concerning MARRIED CHRISTIANS: And unto the married, I command, yet not I, but the lord, let not the WIFE DEPART from her husband: But if she DEPART, let her remain UNMARRIED or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife) That can easily be understood to mean a caution to the born again husband or wife who would want to depart from the unbelieving husband or wife is further explained in verses 12-16. Going back to what Jesus was answering the Pharisees and scribes was reaffirming the exact law Moses suffered man in the Gospels and to do away with "for any and every cause" man was exercising, but from the beginning it was not so. Sadly, Man was divorcing his wife for many unfounded dissatisfying and unhappy reasons. They had twisted and distorted the truth in Deuteronomy 24:1-3 "When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it came to pass that she hath found no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some UNCLEANNESS in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife:" That was easily misinterpreted by husbands who conveniently believed to mean "for any or every cause." Today, the very same thing is being practice between husband and wife divorcing "for any and every cause." Congregations filled with illegal marriages becuse ministers avoid preaching about divorce to avoid losing pupils; RUclips, podcasts, and books filled with indept analysis, many assertions are not dogmatic, with plenty of historical perspectives from a variety of differing theologians and scholars who are too confusing filled with doubt, that don't seem to have an answer available to us. However, UNCLEANNESS is well defined in Numbers 5:19, (in fact, read from verses 11-31, The law of jealousy): And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to UNCLEANNESS with ANOTHER instead of thy HUSBAND, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse." Although, Moses law of divorce was allowing a wife to remarry to avoid the hardships a wife endured and forced into like committing adultery, cursed, or killed, and not "for any and every cause" man had tempted Jesus with, it was an unpleasant answer for divorcing his wife, that was not originally in God's will. Again, the only biblical ground in the NT for the wife to be put away and allowed to remarry without committing fornication while her husband remains alive is a devoted believing wife's work of faith and labor of love for Jesus, that the unbelieving husband rejects and wants nothing to do with, and decides to divorce her can be found in 1 Corinthians 7: 10-16. Other than that, there are no scriptural grounds [where Jesus gives a wife a right to (if her husband commits fornication) to put him away (nor for abandonment nor for abuse as is in some unfortunate cases today). All we have is If she does depart she must remain unmarried]-not one scriptural. Our Lord Jesus knew a wife is bound to the law of her husband till he dies and her curse; thy desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rule over thee. In fact, there are no provisions for a wife to have the rights to divorce her husband! Reread and search the scriptures. Women don't be deceived! Proverbs 6: 34-35 For Jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou gives many gifts. AND Numbers 5: 29-31 This is the law of JEALOUSIES, when a WIFE goeth ASIDE TO ANOTHER instead of her husband, and is DEFILED; Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her ALL THIS LAW. Then shall the man be GUILTLESS from INIQUITY, and this woman shall BEAR HER INIQUITY. Man is clearly given provisions to divorce his wife if she commits fornication to dissolve the marriage covenant, and the only arguable debate many have is who is endorsed or qualified to remarry without committing adultery. Many argue only the innocent and meaning, the HUSBAND, but not the guilty in this case, the WIFE. Matthew 5: 31-32 and 19:3-12 Jesus said unto them, whomsoever shall put away his wife, (saving for the cause of) or except it be for fornication, (causeth her to) or shall marry another, committeth adultery: and (whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commiteth) or whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. Our Lord and Savior meant, except for fornication one must not divorce his wife; except for fornication, if one puts away his wife he causes her to commit adultery; and except for fornication dissolving a marriage, one who marries her that is put away commits adultery. Consequently, avoid divorce "for any and every cause" which is clearly illegal.
Please realize that the "Fornication" referred to by Christ in Matthew 5 ,and 19 is describing the Jewish betrothal period BEFORE MARRIAGE. Matthew 1:18-25 confirms this. As does John 8:41. So after ANY COUPLE is officially married, there are NO biblical grounds for divorce.
QUESTION!!! I am a Christian and left my husband for abuse and he cheated years before. I since have had a partner and know I should be married, but he also is abusive. I wanted to go back to the first husband, but my kids told me they would not speak or have anything to do with me if I did. I am So Sorry for all of this. Satan has destroyed, but I have belief in God. However, my ex will have notheing to do with me. What should I do?
Sister you should follow Jesus and he will lead you out of the adultery that you're in with this new guy and remain as you are single and pray your husband repents and turns to God. You're not alone sister there's others like you I'm one and I can tell I've had complete peace from obeying God on this matter. Praise God
Thank you brother, God bless you for your words and God keep using you for his purposes! You encouraged us to follow obey the word of God like Jesus teach us , thank you, and God bless you and your family!
Am getting out of my adulterous remarriage. Please pray for us & our 2 children (previous marriages) & our grandchild. Want to set the right example for them & others. May our testimony be a wonderful one of Jehovah's power & forgiveness & restoring past wrongs that will win many for our Blessed Lord & Redeemer Christ Jesus. Giovanni, Angela, Trinity, Dalten & Ronan 😢🙏☝😇 Bless u for leading us back to His path. Keep seeking & learning from the Holy Spirit. May He be your family's constant companion. This is hard & there are many many tears. I really hope your beautiful family prays for us. You def are in our prayers as well. 🙏😢🙏
@@philipbuckley759 Thank you for that Mr. Buckley. I've stayed in my marriage since that post. Been seeking The Father hardcore ever since. I'm still back and forth on whether or not to stay but if I'm honest I want to bail out cuz it's hard. We've really been through it and even now I'm facing possible eviction and the car is broke down. Husband has been out of state for months now trying to make ends meet. I appreciate your comment sir. Came at just the right time to be sure. I'd appreciate your prayers and please know I'm lifting you and your family up to Him right now. May The Almighty bless you abundantly. Being honest isn't easy and so many get offended and argue nowadays. I thank you for your courage... really needed to hear this today. I'm so grateful.
As a matter of fact Jesus did tell us to do something that hard, when it comes to marriage. And if you have sex with a person of the opposite sex, then guess what? You are married to them. Marriages are failing because of the sin of pride. Pride is a sin that opens the door to all kinds of other sins, while blinding the person who has it to the effects of their actions and even how they use other people's actions. It's as if they can justify their own sin, by somebody else's sins. Unforgiveness is part of what pride produces. It's the opposite of love. Also you are barred from taking them back if they marry another, as my ex-wife did. Forgiveness for the hurt that she caused me was, and is, an uphill battle. I am not there yet, as I still find little pockets of pain and unforgiveness, from time to to time. I repent, then start the process of forgiving and it is a process. I would love to hear you tackle that issue. When the divorcing spouse remarries, and the other remains single. I believe it is where belief meets living it out in real life.
What if the Wayward spouse is denying everything and lying,what if he or she the Wayward spouse has departed from the Believing spouse and sees the Believing spouse twice a year,then what if the Wayward spouse tells lies when the believing spouse asks are they cheating and the unbelieving spouse denies this even when they are being disloyal,and they tell lies!Surely if they visit the believing spouse every 6 months to see the children yet the other 6 months that they depart yet they the Wayward spouse are still married to the believer,surely the believer can Divorce as "the unbelieving spouse has departed and only visits every 5/6 months,surely the believer is "no longer bound,surely the believer who is abandoned for 5/6 months at a time 'is no longer bound"can the believer file for divorce in this instance?
God does hate divorce, but there have been many instances where He has sent a new spouse into a divorced person's life. As long as they confess the sin, God forgives; they don't live in perpetual adultery.
@@choch4075 There are many people, including myself who don't believe that it's PERPETUAL adultery, God forgives all sin. 3 Biblical grounds for divorce and remarriage: adultery, abandonment, chronic verbal or physical abuse. No one should jump into divorce; time, therapy, and God's guidance are needed. Mike Winger has a very good teaching on divorce and remarriage.
Love doesn’t require you to put your life at risk for a spouse who refuses to stop sleeping with other men, and random strangers and refuses to get tested for STDs. That’s not love. That’s co-dependence. Love is sometimes tough. Love sometimes asks for things that seem difficult. So nope. You don’t understand love. You don’t understand divorce and you don’t understand forgiveness. Because I forgave her harlotry regardless of her refusal to change, but our marriage relationship was over. Marriage requires fidelity. You can’t have fidelity with some people. She remarried a few weeks after our divorce. I gave them a wedding gift, and wished them a successful relationship. Our divorce was only an acknowledgment of our broken relationship. And you marriage permanence preachers don’t and won’t understand some circumstances aren’t reparable because one party doesn’t want to live under the rules of marriage.
@@AnnaLifts11 because I’m not tasked with being a minor prophet. Because I’m not holding my life out as any kind of model for anyone unless it’s what not to do. Because God has put me in or allowed relationships with people incapable of love. Because I freely admit I never learned to love. I learned codependency. Codependency isn’t love. Codependency is control and manipulation, the polar opposite of love. So Gods plan for me, partly my fault, and partly God’s plan makes me both unwilling and unable to express love, give love, or receive it. Love must be learned by experience. I’ve never had a relationship with anyone other than God, not based on usefulness. So now I know this. It was a hard and painful lesson. But since I can’t love anyone else, I don’t expect anyone else to love me either. This includes my ex wife. I can offer more reasons, but I think that’s enough reasons why I’m not like Hosea. I trust God, and only God. However much I may care about people I will never know how to love in the agape sense. So since I’m not a child, and married poorly my opportunity to learn it has come and gone. Now I work until I die, alone, and unloved, as God intended for my life.
@@AnnaLifts11 additionally the pastor asked us if we had a conditional or unconditional relationship. I didn’t even pause before saying it was conditional based on fidelity. If she cheated or I cheated, either party had the right to request a divorce. It was written into our vows, and completely laid out ahead of time. I’ve never had an unconditional relationship. I’ve never understood why anyone would want or prefer them. I still don’t.
@@johnborland7865 ... but God loves you with unconditional love. He forgives you each and every time you stumble and fall away. You’re supposed to love your wife like Christ loves the church. And God would never give up on the church. Ever. It’s easy to love someone when they meet your conditions. True love is loving someone unconditionally meaning no matter what they do, how far they fall away you know that God loves them more than you do and will reconcile them back. Watch “don’t give up on your marriage” by Voddie Bachaum. You’d be better off cutting off your arm than giving up on your wife.
@@AnnaLifts11 what part of I’ve no concept of unconditional love confuses you? I still don’t understand why anyone would want love without conditions from fallen people, and yes I recognize I’m also fallen and sinful. This does nothing to mitigate it, in fact it cements the concept. I can’t receive or express love without condition. I place no values on such things from other sinners. I understand everything in life between people as a contractual and transactional. Since I’ve never experienced the transaction of unconditional like be, I don’t want it. I don’t trust it. It just sounds like a fools gambit. I’d rather die alone and unloved as God intended for me. I’ll experience love in heaven. Until then I have my work. I don’t need anything, but my work and my service.
This is for ones who want to justify there adultery's. There is a reason why there are two words used. Fornication is sex before the actual marriage or while in the betrothal period. If a person went into the wife the night of the marriage and found out she was not a virgin he was permitted to put her away and it was called fornication. Now if an individual cheats with another individual and they are married both the married person and the one who is not the spouse were supposed to be stoned to death and it was called adultery because they were fully married. That is why Jesus said except for the case of fornication. I think Jesus made it pretty clear. If you are going to put your spouse away for Adultery you better be prepared to follow the old testament law and stone them to death. But i would have you look at Hosea. He had Hosea take an adulterous wife and he would have had recourse to use the Old Testament law and have her stoned to death. I feel sorry for the people who choose to justify themselves and to make Gods word fit into their lifestyle instead of making themselves fit into Gods word. God told Hosea that he had to see how God felt about his people committing spiritual adultery against him. I don't know but with this divorce rate the way it is i feel God is telling people in these days we are living in that this is how he feels about his creation these days.
+Jeff Watry An adulterous WIFE and her lover had to be put to death . Please don't add to the Bible. Adulterous wives and non virginal brides . The BIBLICAL definition of adultery has nothing to do with a husband 'cheating 'on wife ( this is NO biblical language at all). Now , if a MAN has a wife who is sexually immoral (that is what Jesus said , he never talked about a husband at all ) , Jesus said that he could put HER away and marry another one . Why did he say that ? Is it because a man cannot have sex again with a wife who has commited adultery ? Would it be a sin for the husband to touch a defiled wife ? Looks like it .
I think this might be requiring more than God requires. Besides the passages in Matthew, I Corinthians 7 also seems to indicate that if an unbelieving spouse leaves, the believer is not enslaved.
It is all gender specific and specific to believers/or a believer with an unbeliever that stays. When they are both unbelievers they are unsanctified and even the children are unholy, as Paul says in I Corinthians 7. Does that sound like it is joined by God? No. Marriage is a picture of Christ and the church not Christ and the world.
I will stand on 1 Corinthians 7 and wait for my wayward spouse. No matter how hard being obedient to Gods word is more important. We are called to live holy and show the love and forgiveness God has shown us. God bless you and your family for standing on Gods word.
Ok....in Deut 24 it is stated that God hates it when a person divorce and marry another person and divorce again and go back to the first marriage !!!!!! This gives the impression that for adultery you can divorce the guilty person and remarry but then Jesus answer them.... ! I pray that God will give more wisdom on this matter.
Amen bro....these people are decieved....their own engineered holiness without righteous judgement of each situation so they paint everyone with the same brush.
No I haven't yet....iam very jaded and cautious and making sure any potential spouse is truly IN THE Lord...as Christianity is in apostasy as a whole like Israel was in many generations. Plus many potential women who profess Christ do not know the faith as they should and their role as per Scriptures so I may be single until I die up to Jesus. I tell people to fight for their marriage and pray and not just move on...wait on the Lord and ask Him.
***** And what exactly is the faith? Since most women don't know it. It appears to me that you are not totally informed by the Spirit but by obtained knowledge.

ANY first for both or widowed marriage is joined by God!!! So yes if two of the worst people in the world marry or if your saintly child marries the worst person, YES it counts!! It is not sin!!! Think!!! Would God join sin?????no!!!! So no covenant one flesh marriage is EVER sin!! Yes even if two human sacrificing satanists wed! It’s just facts!
***** Do you think it is okay for a spouse to divorce the wayward spouse just for legal reasons? I still am remaining faithful to her but I want to see my son and may not be able to have custody rights without divorcing her. I love your videos, it seems like a lot of people are in the dark about the Lord's will. Most people think that divorce and remarriage are acceptable under alomst any reason, especially divorce. This should wake them up!
Douglas, in short, I would say no. In Malachi the Bible talks about divorce and says how much God hates it and how it 'covers ones garments with violence'. That means basically this, as gruesome as it sounds. Imagine yourself taking someone, killing them, the blood pouring on their coat, and then you take that blood filled coat on and wear it around for the rest of your life. That's how God looks at divorce (from a lawful marriage, divorce from an unlawful marriage would be looked upon as 'repentance' as it was in Ezra 10). I would pray to God for some other means to be able to have custody, or see Him. God ordains the ends, but He also ordains the means. We want to use His means to get to His ends. God bless you!
thanks. in the state of Florida a mother has automatic custody of child/whereever the mother lives. me and her are legally separated from a domestic dispute. just wondering, why would it be wrong if I still am honoring my commitment to her and my marriage and my son if I'm only doing it to get legal justification to see my only child. my perception of the prophet Malachi is that he was saying God hates the heart behind the divorce. it's not the divorce itself because surely divorcing from a illegitimate spouse would be biblical. i think my situation would fall under this category of legal divorce, I am only undoing our legal status as married. i would think God honors marriages that havent been confirmed by the government yet. i think it is all about the believers personal vow to God, to selflessly honor your spouse through marriage. marriage in the sight of a govrnenment is mostly a legal action, that is why they allow people to get divorced with little to no reason whatsoever and also legitmize(sp) immoral unions (homosexual marriage) God has been good to us all! I am just hoping and praying for a good relationship with my son...i love him so much and miss him...is name is actually Ezra. thank you for responding. youve got a subscriber right here! God bless...
Matt 5:31-32 1 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 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. KJV Bill of Divorcement means NOTHING to God.
i think understand. correct me if I am wrong but God is concerned about our heart and actions. a divorce is just a piece of paper. God is not pleased with the "putting away" or abandonment of spouses...right? i am still in love with my spouse and want to stay in it...i am only wanting a divorce for legal reasons.....finances, child custody, etc....
Douglas Carnegie God Divorced Israel, and will reunite with her when she repents. In my opinion, you could get a legal divorce so you can be the Dad God intended you to be
"Adultery" is a breach of a contract; any contract. But, adultery WITH fornication is breach of a marriage contract. If the wife wants out of the marrige the husband is to grant the divorce and return to her her dowrey to help her out until she finds another husband. As per Statute Deuteronomy 17:17 Judah is not to accumulate wives. Therefore, all other tribes (except Levite Priests who may have only one wife) may have many wives. The code of Cana'an law defeats all of the Law set out in the Constitution written in Heaven and passed on to Moshe. The children stay with the father for obvious reasons
Isabelle M You are correct! What I may have been thinking of was what some commentator was talking about possibly from Leviticus 21; "13 " 'The woman he marries must be a virgin. 14 He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or a woman defiled by prostitution, but only a virgin from his own people, Here it speaks of a women as opposed to women as is contemplated per Deut. 17:17?
+Pat Rick As to your reference to Deuteronomy 17:17...it actually says that "he must not take MANY wives. Lots of the faithful men of the old testament had more than one wife. The bible doesnt restrict men to one wife in the new testament either, as near as I can tell or have ever read. Please don't use the reference about deacons- it was for deacons, for practical reasons. The prohibition of more than one wife appears to be limited to man's laws.
While in the beginning God's pattern for marriage was that it would be permanent but then sin entered the world and as we go into the old testament and even Jesus quoted that in the beginning it was God's design that it would be permanent but because of man's heart hardening people did get divorced. I am familiar with all the NT passages myself being a pastor of a church for many years and a Christian of 50 years this teacher does misquote some things e.g 1 Corinthians 7 where Paul has been asked a simple question which was asked by new Christians. They asked Paul if it was still ok to be married to an unbeliever or would God now want them to separate. Paul said no stay with it for the reasons that he explained. Sadly many preachers use this passage as an answer for all types of marriage and divorce situations but it can not be used in such a way. Here is not the time for a big teaching but nearly every video I watch on this teaching many even go on to say that if you got married again then you are an adulterer and the marriage should cease. Jesus was asked if a man can put away his wife for "any" reason, any being an important word here where Jesus goes on to refer to God's original intention before sin. Jesus said that adultery would allow a man or woman to divorce. We see King David commit adultery and God forgives him and we see many Christians divorce because sometimes people just don't get on with each other and the marriage fails. When two Christians separate it is a sinful deed just like any sin being no more or less than any sinful deed. When we are saved our sinful nature is changed and we have a new nature but we are still going to do at times a sinful deed and miss the mark because we are still in the flesh. God knows this and the bible says that when we miss the mark that God is faithful and just to forgive our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This is the one truth that ALL these preachers fail to comfort the saints with that God forgives and when he does we are free to move on and marry again. Many preachers just make these laws and many now live confused about what God thinks and many left violent marriages or marriages that were so horrific that they could not stay. Does God then punish you for the rest of your life and make you live alone when he knows that he meets every human need through your husband or wife. No, no ,no, God is a God who forgives and allows us to move on but many say no he doesn't forgive divorce. Well then God doesn't forgive any sinful deed then. No God forgives and if you are reading this looking for answers because you are remarried or divorced know that God didn't want you to fail but if you confess to God that you missed the mark ( sinned) he is faithful to forgive and don't let anyone tell you otherwise because God's word is the authority and God forgives. Deuteronomy 24 : 1-4 exposes this video teaching and those like it as false because it teaches us that God forbids people to go back and marry previous husbands and wives after they have married someone else. God does not contradict himself and scripture itself shows that this preacher and others are teaching a lie.
Thank you for that explanation and understanding of the scriptures. I have often had many discussions regarding this topic with other Christians, I have remarried myself, my wife left me for another man and eventually divorced me 2years later after separation, I was so heart broken, I didn't want what she wanted but she was adamant that she had made up her mind and in that time being so depressed I gave her what she wanted which was for me to sign the papers. Note that all this happened before coming to the knowledge of truth. I remarried 3years ago after being single for a long time, during those years of being single I was dead in sin, I was lonely and would always meet people and keep them away. I have come to realise that the only person that could fill that emptiness is Christ alone, even as I remarried it is Christ who gives life and therefore he should always be what I think about all the time, how I ought to be as a husband to my wife, and how I ought to be as a father to my children, its all in being submissive to the will of God that men will have true joy and give thanks to God alone. lately, I have seen many post on my fb page from a few people regarding remarriage and what they were stating is that I'm practically living every day dishonouring God and if I don't go back to my 1st wife then I'm not a true Christian and don't take his word seriously. I thought about this and wanted to seek God regarding this, they were saying regardless if I have children with this person now you must obey his words. I told them you do realise what your saying is for me to go back to my ex wife, explain to my wife now and children why I am doing this and leaving them, breaking her and my kids hearts and say all the best? Can you imagine the heart ache and pain I would cause from making such a choice and then I also thought "God is not the author of confusion". I realise that I have made a mistake and sinned against God for what I did but will God forgive me for this? Does God only pardon some sins and says I will not pardon you for this one or that one? Once again, I thank you for what you explained in your comments, I'm still seeking God for his wisdom and understanding so that his spirit of truth confirms all things :)
Hi Garus, Thank you for your comment. I am 60 and was born into a Christian home and have known God from a very young age. I have posted my other comment on various videos as I see that preachers leave people in terrible bondage with this teaching and they themselves have no idea of who God is and his Grace but just teach legalism and not the truth which makes us free. They all leave out the forgiveness of God and seem to think that he doesn't forgive people when a marriage fails which is something that makes me see that they learn doctrine but never really know God. We are under a new covenant which shows the Grace of God and yet preachers drag the OT laws into their teachings and put the saints in bondage. I have been a Christian more than 50 years and the church teaches out of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and not from the tree of life and the church mostly is bound by good and evil teaching ( legalism ) and not life itself. Garus while we are not under Moses law he did give us a window to see how God thinks about things and it is very important for you to read Deuteronomy 24: 1-4 which teaches us that God forbids a man or a woman to go back and remarry a wife after someone else has been married to her which completely exposes these videos as false teaching right there. These preachers have never had to go through what you have been through and so are not looking for God in their experience but are just looking for doctrine to tell the saints and so leave them in terrible sadness and confused. God in his word never and I say never contradicts himself and if you hear a teaching but there are verses like Deut 24 that contradicts the teaching then you know that these preachers are teaching falsely. The truth makes you free and so don't listen to those around you who are caught in a lie. When we are saved we receive and new nature that joins us to God in union to him ( Book of Romans ) but our flesh still has that old nature with which we battle and we all and always will at times miss the mark and God knows that and it is why Jesus sacrifice has paid for our past, present and future sins ( Deeds ) that we will do. God has promised to forgive every time we miss the mark and can only turn away from us if we renounce the his Holy Spirit from our lives. He hasn't anything in his plan for people who renounce him and so their in Jesus sacrifice no forgiveness was paid for. I have never heard of anyone renouncing the love of God. My friend God is in you and at work in your life and he has forgiven you and moved you on into a new life with your sins forgiven. Make no mistake that 1 John 1:9 says that our God is faithful and just to forgive us of our missing the mark and he cleanses us from how it tainted us and in his sight we are righteous like him. You friend in him Andrew
Thank you Andrew, it is Gods will that I want to do. It grieved me as it should, knowing how God is serious about marriage because the world makes a mockery of Gods union between a man and a woman, divorcing, in and out of marriages. I have said to them exactly what you have just explained to me, the Holy Spirit was flooding my mind with passages I've read as I was getting to a point where I wasn't sleeping well pondering on this subject. I know Christ has forgiven me for my past, present and future sins (as you have mentioned also) as I know I am tied to my filth, only Gods spirit fills man and regenerates him. And we boast in his goodness and glorify God. Thank you so much for taking the time out to reply, blessings Andrew :)
I don't know why people like you make this kind of videos....the videos that I want to watch are testimonies of divorced people who are living single now to glorify GOD....you are married, you have a wife....I don't know why you talk about this...you cannot relate to the suffering of many people who cannot remarried.
Capuli Capuli You only want to hear what your flesh wants to hear, remarriage is adultery. You will burn in hell if you remarry. You can only remarry if your spouse dies. If u love God enough you will obey no matter if that means sacrificing your fleshy desires. Your temporary desires will lead you straight to hell
Linda Lonsbury You will go to hell for going against Gods word. These people are spreading truth, Satan is using you to spread lies. Give me a clear verse where it says u can remarry prove your point? You're spreading venom with your lies repent.
Hyacinth Hollenssee Your 2nd marriage was sin look at Mark 10, Romans 7 , luke 16 verse 18, Corinthians 7 verse 10. You can only remarry if you're a widow.Dont listen to that lady in the comments she knows nothing. Shes saying it's okay to remarry when Jesus says its adultery. Follow the word of God not these professing so called Christians who like twisting the word of God. Men will lead you to hell.
They are making these videos out of love. Please understand, true suffering was staying in an adulterous remarriage and listening to 90% of churches say repent but stay married. I divorced 1 1/2 months ago after much back & forth between what I knew the Holy Spirit was showing me (my remarriage was adultery), and what the Church was twisting the scripture to say. If you belong to the Kingdom of God, ask him through fasting and prayer like I did, he will show you the truth & you will only find true peace and joy when you obey. The "suffering" you describe by remaining single may be because you are not focusing on the things of God. Please seek truth, get alone with The Bible, pray & fast. He will show you! Focus on serving others, reading the Word and seeking truth. You will see it's not so much suffering as renewing our minds. Remember we have an enemy who hates us and wants us to be lulled to sleep so we are rendered useless for the Kingdom of God. We must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling, if grace covers unrepentant sins, why would God say work out our salvation with fear & trembling? These are some things I had to ponder while in my remarriage and thinking God would be ok with it right? I'm under grace, right? That teaching has led me to commit many sins thinking, it's ok.. I'm under grace, I'll just say sorry... I was so deceived... Gods word means what it says. He is a Holy God who sacrificed his only Son for my sins. I now desire to walk in a way pleasing to him, not man. Look up all the verses on what happens if we don't obey Jesus commandments. It will open your eyes to the lie of once saved always saved. As I believed for 46 years of my life and lived like the world. What did I have to fear? Again, I was so deceived.. pls study it out.. through the Bible, not man.
Just want to know...My x had affairs, we are divorced for almost 7 years...he is going to remarry...so must I remain unmarried? I prayed a lot, even made decrees...would like clarification on this...thank you ~ PS...he even told me that he never made a promise in church to remain with me till death do us part...how do I fight against words like this??
justin6241983 matt 5:17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Did you know God was a divorcee? Read about it in Jeremiah. I am an expert in the ways of God. Anyone who wants to know the difference between right and wrong, come ask me! Anyone who wants peace in their life - that kind from God, must be in God's will. Anyone who wants to know God's will on a situation, let them come and ask me. I am a judge from God. Godly judgment is mercy concealed. Farewell
+M Krafts Please can you answer this question for me please ? Can a husband still take her wife back after she has commited adultery ? I mean he has to forgive her , ok but can he still have sex with her without being in sin himself ? I think about the story of David and his concubines . When these women were defiled by Absolom , the Bible makes it clear and insists that he did not know them anymore ( ok , he had other women , no need to divorce) .
Isabelle M Deut 24:1-4 says: If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the LORD. Do not bring sin upon the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance. I know you already know about this commandment. However, its important to note that this commandment says "if he writes her a divorce and sends her away". This may not seem like an important part but its important when you look at husbands who did not send their wife away but instead the wife left on her own free will or was taken away. There are cases where a wife was guilty of adultery but the husband did not divorce her and instead remained with her. We know that Yah is married to Israel and Israel committed many adulteries. Yet Yah remained faithful to her and did not send her away immediately. Likewise, Hosea was married to a woman who was committing adulteries and yet Hosea remained with her. Again, King David's first wife was Milcah. When David was a fugitive, Milcah was given to another man without David's permission. So when King David was placed on the throne he sent for his wife Milcah to be returned to him and her husband was following and weeping along the whole way. Finally it was said about David, that David did all things right in the sight of Yahuah save the matter with Uriah the Hittite. I can go into a little more detail but I'll conclude here. There is a difference between being righteous before God and being clean. A man who sleeps with a another man's wife is unrighteous. But a man who sleeps with his own wife, even though she committed adultery, is unclean. Righteousness is like the difference between a diamond and a lump of coal. Yah wants us to be diamonds. But Yah is a master jewelcrafter. He desires finely cut and clean diamonds that are placed in settings of gold and silver. This is to be clean before Yah and to be holy. Yah does not allow coal into His house. All coal will be cast out of the window. But those dirty and uncut diamonds, though they be in His house, will remain in the lowly places and they will never see Yah's face or behold His majesty. Only those diamonds that are finely cut, washed, and placed in pure silver and gold will be close to Yah's face. They will be like a frontlet between His eyes or a jewel around His neck, resting above His heart. And He will guard those jewels like He guards His own face and His own bosom. Any unclean man who wants his prayers to be heard must fast and be clean before he approaches Yah. Lastly, there is a way that a righteous man can be unclean and there is a way that his uncleanness can be attributed to him as unrighteousness. This happens if the man is not ashamed of his uncleanness, but holds his head high before God, not fearing God's commandments. If a man does not feel shame for his wife living in adultery then that mans uncleanness also becomes unrighteousness. Because the man did not fear God in his heart and did not feel shame for his uncleanness. But if that man feels shame for his wife and he does not make themselves a leader of a church or a minister or a leader of prayers, but instead he holds his head in shame and supplicates before God with fasting in order to show respect to his uncleaness, then that same man will be considered clean before Yahuah and his cleanness of heart will purify his marriage. And Yah will hear his prayers in a time of fasting and abstaining from sexual relations.
M Krafts Thank you very much for your answer. What you say about the difference between unrighteous and unclean is very interesting and certainly a critical point. But you say that a husband can take an adulterous wife back in the defiled marriage bed in order to fix it all ..but you also said that he will be unclean everytime he will go to his wife ? Is that what God wants for him ? I mean , how do you explain that Christ allows a man to put away his wife on the ground of sexual immorality and marry another one (undefiled )? And also (I'm sorry if I ask too many questions but I asked my husband and as he was not sure he preferred not to answer rather than say something wrong) , how do you explain that David did not know his defiled concubines anymore?
Isabelle M A husband can "mikveh" his wife because of his love. The spirit is greater than the flesh. The marriage is made pure only after the necessary spiritual mikveh (baptism). Once the marriage is made pure then they will no longer be unclean. But if the woman continues in her adulteries then she remains unclean and furthermore she is unrighteous. Whenever a person is sick they must be mikveh'd. When they are sick with sin there must be a spiritual mikveh. A washing must take place. A mikveh is a rebirth. The spirit rules over everything. It is the law and the law is the spirit. In order for a person to become healed or cleansed, he must be reborn. There must be a mikveh. But you cannot just force a mikveh or do one according to your will. It must be done according to the spirit. According to the law. For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin. - Rom 7:14 When Naaman had leprosy he underwent a mikveh 7 times. When Israel left egypt they were mikveh'd by the red sea. Before Yahuah married her she was mikveh'd. Before the Messiah started the new covenant with the disciples they were mikveh'd by the holy spirit. And indeed they were mikveh'd in body as a testimony to the community. But the outward mikveh only symbolized the inward. So then, what I am telling you is that a husband's strong love makes it possible to mikveh an adulterous wife. But a husband has to love her deeply. Regarding the concubines, I'll say this, in the hebrew text the word "wife" is isht or isha. For isht, the last hebrew letter is the tav which is the letter meaning "covenant". But for isha the last letter is hey which means a revealing or "anything can happen". In all of the scriptures a man can have many wives. But in the hebrew a man will only have one isht. He can have many ishas but he will never have more than one isht. This is the woman of covenant. David's concubines were ishas. He did not posess a relationship with them strong enough to produce a mikveh. Only a husbands strong and devoted love to a specific woman can mikveh her. And she can only be mikveh'd if she repents and if the husband and wife go through the days of fasting that I mentioned. But repentance is the main thing. Nothing ever changes in the spirit without there first being some type of mikveh or rebirth. Until that happens a person will always be sick or unclean. Fasting is also a mikveh. This is the purpose of it. Because people become unclean in the world. But Yah is holy, holy, holy. If anyone wants to have their prayers heard, then they will have to mikveh their life and supplication in accordance with their uncleaness. Nowhere in the bible is it commanded that a man must divorce his wife if she commits adultery. It only permits divorce because the marriage is indeed defiled. But what I'm telling you about the mikveh is the deeper part of Yah's heart. Under certain conditions a husband has the authority and power to mikveh his wife (isht) before God.
Isabelle M This is why its commanded that a man who divorces his wife and she remarries, he cannot take her back. Because she is no longer an isht to him. He canceled the covenant by his authority. Furthermore, her sin came about because of his decision. So then to take her back would defile him.

I pray for my husband and his girlfriend everyday and I will keep my vows to GOD and my husband until death do us part.
check David Pawson.....
Update?
Amen! Marriage is not a light thing. It's till death do you part. If you go through the New Testament there are no loopholes.
Jesus never said that only death can separate the marriage.
but in Matthew 5 : 32a, 19 : 9a Jesus says to all married men : Except for fornication/sexual immorality of Wife, husband allows to separate or divorce his unfaithful wife and he can remarry (of course a woman who never been married or virgin)
When a wife commits sex with other man, she has separated from her husband and she is defiled, she is not wife no more..
But to all married women, NO EXCEPTION.
a wife does not allow to divorce her husband even though.he is fornication, abusive, abandon her.
But in 1 Cor 7 : 11 Lord commabd : if a wife is depart from her husband let her remain unmarried or.be reconciled to husband.
she is free to remarry only if her husband dies.
Husband is separated from marriage if his wife is naturally dead and sexual immorality.
Wife is separate from marriage only if her husband died.

This adultery is marriage position is a very very popular position. Are you sure this isn't the broad way ?
Yes, because what sin dies of old age. Yes, because it is easier to not follow God's word. To do as you please and claim to be in christ is the broad way. The narrow way is leaving the sin and living in the word.
@@missinsanelogic are you saying that remarriage, is adultery....
This is one of the most truthful and honest teaching on this topic I've heard!
I'm grieving for some friends in Christ who's had spouses walk away from them, and it's prompted a deep need to seek out the scripture on who to support and council them in what they now must do.
personally my husband and I have already decided (though we know would never divorce) that we'd not ever remarry. This was before I studied and found the the word does not condone remarriage to the believer.
thank you for sharing and I pray many more will seek the scriptures and not mans laws and knowledge instead of God's truth!
God bless
Thank you for this message!! I pray that God blesses your family for the truth you put out there. It's this message that is so watered down in the church that causes so much blindness, but PTL you and your wife stand firm on HIS teachings no matter how hard or uncommon they are. :) God bless!!!
God is amazing. I was an adulterer and fostered that atmosphere in my home and to my wife. I was met by God and if changed my heart. Now i have the opportunity to wait and stand for my marriage as she has divorced me and started a new relationship. And God has so humbled me so i can't say anything. I have no credibility!

I am so sorry this is happening Charles...I am praying for you and for her. This is where I stand on this issue (see video link at the end of this message). You need to pray and fast as to what the Lord wants you to do - listen to different understandings on what the scriptures say concerning this issue. God be with you, brother. Divorce...Does Jesus Allow Remarriage?
If I were in your shoes, I would publicly broadcast her as an adulteress and humiliate her until either she comes back or I even just get sent to the chair.
John that will never work. You can't humiliate someone into loving you or doing the right thing. I'll be honest with you, not everyone will get a restored marriage and they need to be ok either way. I prayed for my marriage to be restored and it wasnt. It took him 13 years to even reach out to me an apologize. He does not want to get back together and neither do I but th apology was nice.

Please read the parable of the prodigal son...
As we get in the end times, there will be a huge number of people who are left behind because they did not believe in keeping pure in marriage and they led others into adultery/remarriage.

Thanks for how you have remained faithful to the truth these years when "educated" church men would say you are wrong and that this is legalism. NOT. I have some of your videos on my playlist of over 40 videos, but there are a lot of others on there too, including some who have written books (David Pawson and Tim Webb) and those who have radio programs too. You have made sure that your doctrine is true!
Now we know [without any doubt] that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully and appropriately, 9 understanding the fact that law is not enacted for the righteous person [the one in right standing with God], but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for [a]kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers-and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted. 1 Timothy 1
3 For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold, 4 and will turn their ears away from the truth and will wander off into myths and man-made fictions [and will accept the unacceptable]. 2 Timothy 4

My husband and I are in the middle of divorce and it's not by my choice I have asked him several times to stop and work on our marriage and he refuses his heart is extremely hard and and he is so deceived I'm praying for God to break his hard heart and break his will and that God will do whatever it takes to bring my husband to repentance and back to our marriage
amen...
Even Jesus' disciples said that it's better not to get married. Jesus advised people to stay in life-long singleness like him. I think more people like myself should follow his wisdom in this matter. It's not that hard to to be a life-long virgin, everybody.
Can you type the scriptures please. I am so grateful I am not married in fear of finding myself in this bad situation of a wife leaving me.
@@hayward6788 Matthew 19.10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”
AMEN we always must minister to people to be READY AND WAITING TO RECONCILE true covenant marriages if we teach anything else we are on the side of keeping covenant spouses apart..
Amen!
People are so anxious to marry. Falling in love is easy, but then the infatuation wears off and the covenant vows are betrayed. Other than an illegal marriage - or possibly an unequal yoking between a Christian and a lost - but if they had children, then the nuclear family is busted, and if there’s a remarriage, then it’s generally worse for the children and their identities get confused.
How does annulment make God forget that a marital vow was mad?
That's where I disagree with the Catholic Church. When vows are made, it can't be undone unless one party dies.
it has to sound strange to call the RCC on a false teaching, but the Bible does not seem to support the idea of an annulment...
May someone tell me what is the unforgiven sin as per gospel, is it divorce and remarriage or is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?
It is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, as Jesus said no one comes to the Father except by him. When you blaspheme the Holy Spirit .you deny Jesus as Lord/God. So there's no way for you to talk to or have a relationship with God....no salvation.
Does God really want you to continue in your sin? Of course he doesn't. What is required? Repentance is, to turn from the sin. Go and sin no more!
when does....forgiveness.....change a sin, into a non sin.....
If both my first spouse and I remarried other people can we ever go back and remarry each other again or is that an abomination? (Jeremiah 3:1) I am open to remarrying my original spouse I just want to make sure it is not a sin to reconcile after marrying someone else. Do I need to remain unmarried? Please someone clarify this for me. Thank you!
You may want to fast and pray about this, there is a verse in Deut, Im paraphrasing, but Im sure you can find this verse, however it says something like that if the man puts away his wife, and she marries another, she commits adultery, and if her original husband goes on to marry someone else, and then he later puts her away and wants to be reconciled back to his original wife, then they both defile the marriage bed, its an abomination to the Lord.. meaning, God does not recognise it as a Holy Union, it is defiled... We are in the Last days, God is calling us out of all sin, so becareful, if your in adultry come out of it.. we are on the brink of the Great Tribulation... we need to get our houses in order...
Ps: Dont take the MicroChips or the Vaccines (666 warning - They are DNA altering) and you will lose your soverignty (rev 13), stay vigilant, because things are happening rapidly.
the Bible gives two options, remain single, or reconcile....so, if one can not reconcile, the only option would be....to remain single.....
what is your recommendation to the already divorced, and remarried....separate, or remain, as they are....
I’m the one waiting for the wayward spouse . I love him like I love Christ so I know I will never remarry.
we need to instill in our kids that even if they marry the anti Christ, it is covenant if it is a first time marriage and can never be sin to be repented of #remarriageisadultery
Huh? The Anti-Christ? I dont understand your comment, I know God says to not be un-equally yoked to an unbeliever, but you have to remain in that marriage unless the unbelieving spouse leaves the believer...However you comment has thrown me off... you need to be more specific with your expression, to marry the Anti-Christ is a bit much, God doesn't approve marrying satan, like in Genesis, the fallen angels mixed their seed with women, this is forbidden. please use examples that people can relate too, this is such a horrible example.
@@jesusreturning3003 probably this is for emphasis....when one is married....er....they are married....
Thank you for the video. Im in agreement with your Biblical position. Quick question, we have ZERO churches in my city that preach against divorce and remmarige. Do I still attend those churches? The Bible speaks against aiding the hand of the enemy...
that is a very good question.....if you find an answer share it....
If ONLY Adam and Eve had never eaten the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, there would be no commands to take up your cross, die, annihilate the body, be perfect as God Himself is perfect (as in perfectly obey to the very letter, without fail, without stumble, without fall, every single one of the 1,663 commandments between Genesis 1:1 and Revelation 22:21), etc. And saying it was God's plan for Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit is the equivilant of saying that man was never made for the Earth, and neither was the Earth ever made for man; the Earth was built to be eternally forbidden to the human race, and it shall be even easier for the cruise ship MV Harmony of the Seas to pass through the eye of a fish hook than for a human to enter eternal life and skip Hell.
let's go to the beginning, in Genesis 2: 20-25 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found an help meet for him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. The NT confirms that in 1 Corinthians 11:8-9 For man is not of the woman, but woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man. Going back to Genesis 2: 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one FLESH. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Unfortunately, many marriages end up in divorce without seeking nor searching the scriptures in the Old and New Testament to find out how unpleasant the answers for loopholes and accommodations to please the flesh will be. We start with Mathews 5:31-32; 19:3-9, Mark 10:1-12; and Luke 16:18 Jesus, commanded man (AND NOT WOMAN) the only grounds to put away his wife was for the cause of fornication. (AND the only scriptural mentioning a wife is found in 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 where we have Paul giving adivce and regulations concerning MARRIED CHRISTIANS: And unto the married, I command, yet not I, but the lord, let not the WIFE DEPART from her husband: But if she DEPART, let her remain UNMARRIED or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife) That can easily be understood to mean a caution to the born again husband or wife who would want to depart from the unbelieving husband or wife is further explained in verses 12-16. Going back to what Jesus was answering the Pharisees and scribes was reaffirming the exact law Moses suffered man in the Gospels and to do away with "for any and every cause" man was exercising, but from the beginning it was not so. Sadly, Man was divorcing his wife for many unfounded dissatisfying and unhappy reasons. They had twisted and distorted the truth in Deuteronomy 24:1-3 "When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it came to pass that she hath found no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some UNCLEANNESS in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife:" That was easily misinterpreted by husbands who conveniently believed to mean "for any or every cause." Today, the very same thing is being practice between husband and wife divorcing "for any and every cause." Congregations filled with illegal marriages becuse ministers avoid preaching about divorce to avoid losing pupils; RUclips, podcasts, and books filled with indept analysis, many assertions are not dogmatic, with plenty of historical perspectives from a variety of differing theologians and scholars who are too confusing filled with doubt, that don't seem to have an answer available to us. However, UNCLEANNESS is well defined in Numbers 5:19, (in fact, read from verses 11-31, The law of jealousy): And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to UNCLEANNESS with ANOTHER instead of thy HUSBAND, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse." Although, Moses law of divorce was allowing a wife to remarry to avoid the hardships a wife endured and forced into like committing adultery, cursed, or killed, and not "for any and every cause" man had tempted Jesus with, it was an unpleasant answer for divorcing his wife, that was not originally in God's will. Again, the only biblical ground in the NT for the wife to be put away and allowed to remarry without committing fornication while her husband remains alive is a devoted believing wife's work of faith and labor of love for Jesus, that the unbelieving husband rejects and wants nothing to do with, and decides to divorce her can be found in 1 Corinthians 7: 10-16. Other than that, there are no scriptural grounds [where Jesus gives a wife a right to (if her husband commits fornication) to put him away (nor for abandonment nor for abuse as is in some unfortunate cases today). All we have is If she does depart she must remain unmarried]-not one scriptural. Our Lord Jesus knew a wife is bound to the law of her husband till he dies and her curse; thy desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rule over thee. In fact, there are no provisions for a wife to have the rights to divorce her husband! Reread and search the scriptures. Women don't be deceived! Proverbs 6: 34-35 For Jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou gives many gifts. AND Numbers 5: 29-31 This is the law of JEALOUSIES, when a WIFE goeth ASIDE TO ANOTHER instead of her husband, and is DEFILED; Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her ALL THIS LAW. Then shall the man be GUILTLESS from INIQUITY, and this woman shall BEAR HER INIQUITY. Man is clearly given provisions to divorce his wife if she commits fornication to dissolve the marriage covenant, and the only arguable debate many have is who is endorsed or qualified to remarry without committing adultery. Many argue only the innocent and meaning, the HUSBAND, but not the guilty in this case, the WIFE. Matthew 5: 31-32 and 19:3-12 Jesus said unto them, whomsoever shall put away his wife, (saving for the cause of) or except it be for fornication, (causeth her to) or shall marry another, committeth adultery: and (whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commiteth) or whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. Our Lord and Savior meant, except for fornication one must not divorce his wife; except for fornication, if one puts away his wife he causes her to commit adultery; and except for fornication dissolving a marriage, one who marries her that is put away commits adultery. Consequently, avoid divorce "for any and every cause" which is clearly illegal.
Please realize that the "Fornication" referred to by Christ in Matthew 5 ,and 19 is describing the Jewish betrothal period BEFORE MARRIAGE. Matthew 1:18-25 confirms this. As does John 8:41. So after ANY COUPLE is officially married, there are NO biblical grounds for divorce.
@@philarevolutionarywarriorp8295 excatly
How do you know that Fornication doesnt mean all sexual sins?
one thing is it would be redundant......the other is what is the situation with Joseph and Mary....
If going by the betrothal for the exception clause, then everyone should be enforcing engagements as covenant, too. Because it says 'Whosoever'.
amen...
QUESTION!!! I am a Christian and left my husband for abuse and he cheated years before. I since have had a partner and know I should be married, but he also is abusive. I wanted to go back to the first husband, but my kids told me they would not speak or have anything to do with me if I did. I am So Sorry for all of this. Satan has destroyed, but I have belief in God. However, my ex will have notheing to do with me. What should I do?
Sister you should follow Jesus and he will lead you out of the adultery that you're in with this new guy and remain as you are single and pray your husband repents and turns to God. You're not alone sister there's others like you I'm one and I can tell I've had complete peace from obeying God on this matter. Praise God
as harsh, as it seems, the Bible makes two provisions.....remain single, or reconcile.....
Deuteronomy 22:13-30 says I am not to take her back if her second marriage fails. Are you teaching something different?
That was the old Covenant. Jesus reset the New Covenant. Read Mark 10:7-12, Luke 16:18, 1 Corinthians 7:39, Romans 7:2-3

Good word!! Amen
Thank you so much for this truth!
As a matter of fact Jesus did tell us to do something that hard, when it comes to marriage. And if you have sex with a person of the opposite sex, then guess what? You are married to them. Marriages are failing because of the sin of pride. Pride is a sin that opens the door to all kinds of other sins, while blinding the person who has it to the effects of their actions and even how they use other people's actions. It's as if they can justify their own sin, by somebody else's sins. Unforgiveness is part of what pride produces. It's the opposite of love. Also you are barred from taking them back if they marry another, as my ex-wife did. Forgiveness for the hurt that she caused me was, and is, an uphill battle. I am not there yet, as I still find little pockets of pain and unforgiveness, from time to to time. I repent, then start the process of forgiving and it is a process.
I would love to hear you tackle that issue. When the divorcing spouse remarries, and the other remains single. I believe it is where belief meets living it out in real life.
What if the Wayward spouse is denying everything and lying,what if he or she the Wayward spouse has departed from the Believing spouse and sees the Believing spouse twice a year,then what if the Wayward spouse tells lies when the believing spouse asks are they cheating and the unbelieving spouse denies this even when they are being disloyal,and they tell lies!Surely if they visit the believing spouse every 6 months to see the children yet the other 6 months that they depart yet they the Wayward spouse are still married to the believer,surely the believer can Divorce as "the unbelieving spouse has departed and only visits every 5/6 months,surely the believer is "no longer bound,surely the believer who is abandoned for 5/6 months at a time 'is no longer bound"can the believer file for divorce in this instance?
the term is enslaved.....words, have meanings, so lets get the correct meaning...eh...
God does hate divorce, but there have been many instances where He has sent a new spouse into a divorced person's life. As long as they confess the sin, God forgives; they don't live in perpetual adultery.
@@choch4075 There are many people, including myself who don't believe that it's PERPETUAL adultery, God forgives all sin. 3 Biblical grounds for divorce and remarriage: adultery, abandonment, chronic verbal or physical abuse. No one should jump into divorce; time, therapy, and God's guidance are needed. Mike Winger has a very good teaching on divorce and remarriage.
Love doesn’t require you to put your life at risk for a spouse who refuses to stop sleeping with other men, and random strangers and refuses to get tested for STDs. That’s not love. That’s co-dependence. Love is sometimes tough. Love sometimes asks for things that seem difficult. So nope. You don’t understand love. You don’t understand divorce and you don’t understand forgiveness. Because I forgave her harlotry regardless of her refusal to change, but our marriage relationship was over. Marriage requires fidelity. You can’t have fidelity with some people. She remarried a few weeks after our divorce. I gave them a wedding gift, and wished them a successful relationship. Our divorce was only an acknowledgment of our broken relationship. And you marriage permanence preachers don’t and won’t understand some circumstances aren’t reparable because one party doesn’t want to live under the rules of marriage.
.... read Hosea. God commanded Hosea to marry, pursue, and forgive Gomer. If he did that for their marriage why would yours be different ?
@@AnnaLifts11 because I’m not tasked with being a minor prophet. Because I’m not holding my life out as any kind of model for anyone unless it’s what not to do. Because God has put me in or allowed relationships with people incapable of love. Because I freely admit I never learned to love. I learned codependency. Codependency isn’t love. Codependency is control and manipulation, the polar opposite of love. So Gods plan for me, partly my fault, and partly God’s plan makes me both unwilling and unable to express love, give love, or receive it. Love must be learned by experience. I’ve never had a relationship with anyone other than God, not based on usefulness. So now I know this. It was a hard and painful lesson. But since I can’t love anyone else, I don’t expect anyone else to love me either. This includes my ex wife. I can offer more reasons, but I think that’s enough reasons why I’m not like Hosea. I trust God, and only God. However much I may care about people I will never know how to love in the agape sense. So since I’m not a child, and married poorly my opportunity to learn it has come and gone. Now I work until I die, alone, and unloved, as God intended for my life.
@@AnnaLifts11 additionally the pastor asked us if we had a conditional or unconditional relationship. I didn’t even pause before saying it was conditional based on fidelity. If she cheated or I cheated, either party had the right to request a divorce. It was written into our vows, and completely laid out ahead of time. I’ve never had an unconditional relationship. I’ve never understood why anyone would want or prefer them. I still don’t.
@@johnborland7865 ... but God loves you with unconditional love. He forgives you each and every time you stumble and fall away. You’re supposed to love your wife like Christ loves the church. And God would never give up on the church. Ever. It’s easy to love someone when they meet your conditions. True love is loving someone unconditionally meaning no matter what they do, how far they fall away you know that God loves them more than you do and will reconcile them back. Watch “don’t give up on your marriage” by Voddie Bachaum. You’d be better off cutting off your arm than giving up on your wife.
@@AnnaLifts11 what part of I’ve no concept of unconditional love confuses you? I still don’t understand why anyone would want love without conditions from fallen people, and yes I recognize I’m also fallen and sinful. This does nothing to mitigate it, in fact it cements the concept. I can’t receive or express love without condition. I place no values on such things from other sinners. I understand everything in life between people as a contractual and transactional. Since I’ve never experienced the transaction of unconditional like be, I don’t want it. I don’t trust it. It just sounds like a fools gambit. I’d rather die alone and unloved as God intended for me. I’ll experience love in heaven. Until then I have my work. I don’t need anything, but my work and my service.
excellent presentation.....thanx......
This is for ones who want to justify there adultery's. There is a reason why there are two words used. Fornication is sex before the actual marriage or while in the betrothal period. If a person went into the wife the night of the marriage and found out she was not a virgin he was permitted to put her away and it was called fornication. Now if an individual cheats with another individual and they are married both the married person and the one who is not the spouse were supposed to be stoned to death and it was called adultery because they were fully married. That is why Jesus said except for the case of fornication. I think Jesus made it pretty clear. If you are going to put your spouse away for Adultery you better be prepared to follow the old testament law and stone them to death. But i would have you look at Hosea. He had Hosea take an adulterous wife and he would have had recourse to use the Old Testament law and have her stoned to death. I feel sorry for the people who choose to justify themselves and to make Gods word fit into their lifestyle instead of making themselves fit into Gods word. God told Hosea that he had to see how God felt about his people committing spiritual adultery against him. I don't know but with this divorce rate the way it is i feel God is telling people in these days we are living in that this is how he feels about his creation these days.
+Jeff Watry
An adulterous WIFE and her lover had to be put to death . Please don't add to the Bible.
Adulterous wives and non virginal brides .
The BIBLICAL definition of adultery has nothing to do with a husband 'cheating 'on wife ( this is NO biblical language at all).
Now , if a MAN has a wife who is sexually immoral (that is what Jesus said , he never talked about a husband at all ) , Jesus said that he could put HER away and marry another one .
Why did he say that ? Is it because a man cannot have sex again with a wife who has commited adultery ? Would it be a sin for the husband to touch a defiled wife ? Looks like it .
I think this might be requiring more than God requires. Besides the passages in Matthew, I Corinthians 7 also seems to indicate that if an unbelieving spouse leaves, the believer is not enslaved.
Read those verses again with a concordance. You are misguided. The video maker is Correct
not being enslaved, is not akin to not being bound....
It is all gender specific and specific to believers/or a believer with an unbeliever that stays. When they are both unbelievers they are unsanctified and even the children are unholy, as Paul says in I Corinthians 7. Does that sound like it is joined by God? No. Marriage is a picture of Christ and the church not Christ and the world.
Amen and thank you for the TRUTH
I will stand on 1 Corinthians 7 and wait for my wayward spouse. No matter how hard being obedient to Gods word is more important. We are called to live holy and show the love and forgiveness God has shown us. God bless you and your family for standing on Gods word.
I would not be willing to wait forever for a wayward spouse.
And there is a perfect example of hard heartedness and stubbornness against God and His Word
the only alternative is to live a life, of sin....
Ok....in Deut 24 it is stated that God hates it when a person divorce and marry another person and divorce again and go back to the first marriage !!!!!! This gives the impression that for adultery you can divorce the guilty person and remarry but then Jesus answer them.... ! I pray that God will give more wisdom on this matter.
MDR Question #3. Does Deut 24:1-4 Forbid The Return of a Former Spouse?
Amen bro....these people are decieved....their own engineered holiness without righteous judgement of each situation so they paint everyone with the same brush.
***** Did you remarry?
No I haven't yet....iam very jaded and cautious and making sure any potential spouse is truly IN THE Lord...as Christianity is in apostasy as a whole like Israel was in many generations. Plus many potential women who profess Christ do not know the faith as they should and their role as per Scriptures so I may be single until I die up to Jesus. I tell people to fight for their marriage and pray and not just move on...wait on the Lord and ask Him.
***** And what exactly is the faith? Since most women don't know it. It appears to me that you are not totally informed by the Spirit but by obtained knowledge.
It is all gender specific and specific to believers/or a believer with an unbeliever that stays. When they are both unbelievers they are unsanctified and even the children are unholy, as Paul says in I Corinthians 7. Does that sound like it is joined by God? No. Marriage is a picture of Christ and the church not Christ and the world.
amen
ANY first for both or widowed marriage is joined by God!!! So yes if two of the worst people in the world marry or if your saintly child marries the worst person, YES it counts!! It is not sin!!! Think!!! Would God join sin?????no!!!! So no covenant one flesh marriage is EVER sin!! Yes even if two human sacrificing satanists wed! It’s just facts!
Very true. Hebrews 13:4 confirms this, along with Genesis 2:23-24 and Ephesians 5:25-33.
***** Do you think it is okay for a spouse to divorce the wayward spouse just for legal reasons? I still am remaining faithful to her but I want to see my son and may not be able to have custody rights without divorcing her. I love your videos, it seems like a lot of people are in the dark about the Lord's will. Most people think that divorce and remarriage are acceptable under alomst any reason, especially divorce. This should wake them up!
Douglas, in short, I would say no. In Malachi the Bible talks about divorce and says how much God hates it and how it 'covers ones garments with violence'. That means basically this, as gruesome as it sounds. Imagine yourself taking someone, killing them, the blood pouring on their coat, and then you take that blood filled coat on and wear it around for the rest of your life. That's how God looks at divorce (from a lawful marriage, divorce from an unlawful marriage would be looked upon as 'repentance' as it was in Ezra 10). I would pray to God for some other means to be able to have custody, or see Him. God ordains the ends, but He also ordains the means. We want to use His means to get to His ends. God bless you!
thanks. in the state of Florida a mother has automatic custody of child/whereever the mother lives. me and her are legally separated from a domestic dispute. just wondering, why would it be wrong if I still am honoring my commitment to her and my marriage and my son if I'm only doing it to get legal justification to see my only child. my perception of the prophet Malachi is that he was saying God hates the heart behind the divorce. it's not the divorce itself because surely divorcing from a illegitimate spouse would be biblical. i think my situation would fall under this category of legal divorce, I am only undoing our legal status as married. i would think God honors marriages that havent been confirmed by the government yet. i think it is all about the believers personal vow to God, to selflessly honor your spouse through marriage. marriage in the sight of a govrnenment is mostly a legal action, that is why they allow people to get divorced with little to no reason whatsoever and also legitmize(sp) immoral unions (homosexual marriage) God has been good to us all! I am just hoping and praying for a good relationship with my son...i love him so much and miss him...is name is actually Ezra. thank you for responding. youve got a subscriber right here! God bless...
Matt 5:31-32
1 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
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.
KJV
Bill of Divorcement means NOTHING to God.
i think understand. correct me if I am wrong but God is concerned about our heart and actions. a divorce is just a piece of paper. God is not pleased with the "putting away" or abandonment of spouses...right? i am still in love with my spouse and want to stay in it...i am only wanting a divorce for legal reasons.....finances, child custody, etc....

Linkowski Family : Did you say you're living in an adulterous marriage ?
+al dixon No, he did not say that.
yes straight away save your soul from hell
"Adultery" is a breach of a contract; any contract. But, adultery WITH fornication is breach of a marriage contract. If the wife wants out of the marrige the husband is to grant the divorce and return to her her dowrey to help her out until she finds another husband. As per Statute Deuteronomy 17:17 Judah is not to accumulate wives. Therefore, all other tribes (except Levite Priests who may have only one wife) may have many wives. The code of Cana'an law defeats all of the Law set out in the Constitution written in Heaven and passed on to Moshe. The children stay with the father for obvious reasons
+Pat Rick
Can you give me the reference where it is said that Levite priests couldonly have one wife ?
Thank you.

High; do a word search; levites one wife kjv and it ought to take you to where you want to go ...
Pat Rick
I did it but found nothing except Judges 19 , the passage where a levite's wife is assaulted and killed.
Isabelle M
You are correct! What I may have been thinking of was what some commentator was talking about possibly from Leviticus 21; "13 " 'The woman he marries must be a virgin.
14 He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or a woman defiled by prostitution, but only a virgin from his own people,
Here it speaks of a women as opposed to women as is contemplated per Deut. 17:17?
+Pat Rick As to your reference to Deuteronomy 17:17...it actually says that "he must not take MANY wives. Lots of the faithful men of the old testament had more than one wife. The bible doesnt restrict men to one wife in the new testament either, as near as I can tell or have ever read. Please don't use the reference about deacons- it was for deacons, for practical reasons. The prohibition of more than one wife appears to be limited to man's laws.
Im sorry too much crap going on in life to be perfect mind numbing stress inducing God! J
While in the beginning God's pattern for marriage was that it would be permanent but then sin entered the world and as we go into the old testament and even Jesus quoted that in the beginning it was God's design that it would be permanent but because of man's heart hardening people did get divorced. I am familiar with all the NT passages myself being a pastor of a church for many years and a Christian of 50 years this teacher does misquote some things e.g 1 Corinthians 7 where Paul has been asked a simple question which was asked by new Christians. They asked Paul if it was still ok to be married to an unbeliever or would God now want them to separate. Paul said no stay with it for the reasons that he explained. Sadly many preachers use this passage as an answer for all types of marriage and divorce situations but it can not be used in such a way. Here is not the time for a big teaching but nearly every video I watch on this teaching many even go on to say that if you got married again then you are an adulterer and the marriage should cease. Jesus was asked if a man can put away his wife for "any" reason, any being an important word here where Jesus goes on to refer to God's original intention before sin. Jesus said that adultery would allow a man or woman to divorce. We see King David commit adultery and God forgives him and we see many Christians divorce because sometimes people just don't get on with each other and the marriage fails. When two Christians separate it is a sinful deed just like any sin being no more or less than any sinful deed. When we are saved our sinful nature is changed and we have a new nature but we are still going to do at times a sinful deed and miss the mark because we are still in the flesh. God knows this and the bible says that when we miss the mark that God is faithful and just to forgive our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This is the one truth that ALL these preachers fail to comfort the saints with that God forgives and when he does we are free to move on and marry again. Many preachers just make these laws and many now live confused about what God thinks and many left violent marriages or marriages that were so horrific that they could not stay. Does God then punish you for the rest of your life and make you live alone when he knows that he meets every human need through your husband or wife. No, no ,no, God is a God who forgives and allows us to move on but many say no he doesn't forgive divorce. Well then God doesn't forgive any sinful deed then. No God forgives and if you are reading this looking for answers because you are remarried or divorced know that God didn't want you to fail but if you confess to God that you missed the mark ( sinned) he is faithful to forgive and don't let anyone tell you otherwise because God's word is the authority and God forgives. Deuteronomy 24 : 1-4 exposes this video teaching and those like it as false because it teaches us that God forbids people to go back and marry previous husbands and wives after they have married someone else. God does not contradict himself and scripture itself shows that this preacher and others are teaching a lie.
Thank you for that explanation and understanding of the scriptures. I have often had many discussions regarding this topic with other Christians, I have remarried myself, my wife left me for another man and eventually divorced me 2years later after separation, I was so heart broken, I didn't want what she wanted but she was adamant that she had made up her mind and in that time being so depressed I gave her what she wanted which was for me to sign the papers. Note that all this happened before coming to the knowledge of truth. I remarried 3years ago after being single for a long time, during those years of being single I was dead in sin, I was lonely and would always meet people and keep them away. I have come to realise that the only person that could fill that emptiness is Christ alone, even as I remarried it is Christ who gives life and therefore he should always be what I think about all the time, how I ought to be as a husband to my wife, and how I ought to be as a father to my children, its all in being submissive to the will of God that men will have true joy and give thanks to God alone. lately, I have seen many post on my fb page from a few people regarding remarriage and what they were stating is that I'm practically living every day dishonouring God and if I don't go back to my 1st wife then I'm not a true Christian and don't take his word seriously. I thought about this and wanted to seek God regarding this, they were saying regardless if I have children with this person now you must obey his words. I told them you do realise what your saying is for me to go back to my ex wife, explain to my wife now and children why I am doing this and leaving them, breaking her and my kids hearts and say all the best? Can you imagine the heart ache and pain I would cause from making such a choice and then I also thought "God is not the author of confusion". I realise that I have made a mistake and sinned against God for what I did but will God forgive me for this? Does God only pardon some sins and says I will not pardon you for this one or that one? Once again, I thank you for what you explained in your comments, I'm still seeking God for his wisdom and understanding so that his spirit of truth confirms all things :)
Hi Garus, Thank you for your comment. I am 60 and was born into a Christian home and have known God from a very young age. I have posted my other comment on various videos as I see that preachers leave people in terrible bondage with this teaching and they themselves have no idea of who God is and his Grace but just teach legalism and not the truth which makes us free. They all leave out the forgiveness of God and seem to think that he doesn't forgive people when a marriage fails which is something that makes me see that they learn doctrine but never really know God. We are under a new covenant which shows the Grace of God and yet preachers drag the OT laws into their teachings and put the saints in bondage. I have been a Christian more than 50 years and the church teaches out of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and not from the tree of life and the church mostly is bound by good and evil teaching ( legalism ) and not life itself. Garus while we are not under Moses law he did give us a window to see how God thinks about things and it is very important for you to read Deuteronomy 24: 1-4 which teaches us that God forbids a man or a woman to go back and remarry a wife after someone else has been married to her which completely exposes these videos as false teaching right there. These preachers have never had to go through what you have been through and so are not looking for God in their experience but are just looking for doctrine to tell the saints and so leave them in terrible sadness and confused. God in his word never and I say never contradicts himself and if you hear a teaching but there are verses like Deut 24 that contradicts the teaching then you know that these preachers are teaching falsely. The truth makes you free and so don't listen to those around you who are caught in a lie. When we are saved we receive and new nature that joins us to God in union to him ( Book of Romans ) but our flesh still has that old nature with which we battle and we all and always will at times miss the mark and God knows that and it is why Jesus sacrifice has paid for our past, present and future sins ( Deeds ) that we will do. God has promised to forgive every time we miss the mark and can only turn away from us if we renounce the his Holy Spirit from our lives. He hasn't anything in his plan for people who renounce him and so their in Jesus sacrifice no forgiveness was paid for. I have never heard of anyone renouncing the love of God. My friend God is in you and at work in your life and he has forgiven you and moved you on into a new life with your sins forgiven. Make no mistake that 1 John 1:9 says that our God is faithful and just to forgive us of our missing the mark and he cleanses us from how it tainted us and in his sight we are righteous like him. You friend in him Andrew
Thank you Andrew, it is Gods will that I want to do. It grieved me as it should, knowing how God is serious about marriage because the world makes a mockery of Gods union between a man and a woman, divorcing, in and out of marriages. I have said to them exactly what you have just explained to me, the Holy Spirit was flooding my mind with passages I've read as I was getting to a point where I wasn't sleeping well pondering on this subject. I know Christ has forgiven me for my past, present and future sins (as you have mentioned also) as I know I am tied to my filth, only Gods spirit fills man and regenerates him. And we boast in his goodness and glorify God. Thank you so much for taking the time out to reply, blessings Andrew :)
what do u mean put away?
In he bible put away means divorce.
Late response.
This is the truth
AMEN!
I don't know why people like you make this kind of videos....the videos that I want to watch are testimonies of divorced people who are living single now to glorify GOD....you are married, you have a wife....I don't know why you talk about this...you cannot relate to the suffering of many people who cannot remarried.
I am and I will not do it again am of Christ my eyes is on Christ God can fill your emptiness he help you control the feelings of this body
Capuli Capuli You only want to hear what your flesh wants to hear, remarriage is adultery. You will burn in hell if you remarry. You can only remarry if your spouse dies. If u love God enough you will obey no matter if that means sacrificing your fleshy desires. Your temporary desires will lead you straight to hell
Linda Lonsbury You will go to hell for going against Gods word. These people are spreading truth, Satan is using you to spread lies. Give me a clear verse where it says u can remarry prove your point? You're spreading venom with your lies repent.
Hyacinth Hollenssee Your 2nd marriage was sin look at Mark 10, Romans 7 , luke 16 verse 18, Corinthians 7 verse 10. You can only remarry if you're a widow.Dont listen to that lady in the comments she knows nothing. Shes saying it's okay to remarry when Jesus says its adultery. Follow the word of God not these professing so called Christians who like twisting the word of God. Men will lead you to hell.
They are making these videos out of love. Please understand, true suffering was staying in an adulterous remarriage and listening to 90% of churches say repent but stay married. I divorced 1 1/2 months ago after much back & forth between what I knew the Holy Spirit was showing me (my remarriage was adultery), and what the Church was twisting the scripture to say.
If you belong to the Kingdom of God, ask him through fasting and prayer like I did, he will show you the truth & you will only find true peace and joy when you obey. The "suffering" you describe by remaining single may be because you are not focusing on the things of God. Please seek truth, get alone with The Bible, pray & fast. He will show you! Focus on serving others, reading the Word and seeking truth. You will see it's not so much suffering as renewing our minds.
Remember we have an enemy who hates us and wants us to be lulled to sleep so we are rendered useless for the Kingdom of God. We must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling, if grace covers unrepentant sins, why would God say work out our salvation with fear & trembling? These are some things I had to ponder while in my remarriage and thinking God would be ok with it right? I'm under grace, right? That teaching has led me to commit many sins thinking, it's ok.. I'm under grace, I'll just say sorry... I was so deceived... Gods word means what it says. He is a Holy God who sacrificed his only Son for my sins. I now desire to walk in a way pleasing to him, not man.
Look up all the verses on what happens if we don't obey Jesus commandments. It will open your eyes to the lie of once saved always saved. As I believed for 46 years of my life and lived like the world. What did I have to fear? Again, I was so deceived.. pls study it out.. through the Bible, not man.
Just want to know...My x had affairs, we are divorced for almost 7 years...he is going to remarry...so must I remain unmarried? I prayed a lot, even made decrees...would like clarification on this...thank you ~ PS...he even told me that he never made a promise in church to remain with me till death do us part...how do I fight against words like this??
Louisa Pretorius, let the bum leave go on with your life. You're10,000 times better off without him even if you remain single the rest of your life.
Pray!!! That's how you fight
unfortunately the Bible makes no provision, for someone in your situation.....ergo, there is no innocent party....
Thank God ill neverc have more children
😂😂😂😂😂😂

Deut 24 4 it is an Abomination to take back your remarry your ex wife.
justin6241983 matt 5:17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
How do you reconcile that with 1 Corinthians 7:10-11??
I'll tell you how - NEW COVENANT.
if that is true, then the option, available, is to remain single....
Did you know God was a divorcee? Read about it in Jeremiah.
I am an expert in the ways of God. Anyone who wants to know the difference between right and wrong, come ask me! Anyone who wants peace in their life - that kind from God, must be in God's will. Anyone who wants to know God's will on a situation, let them come and ask me. I am a judge from God. Godly judgment is mercy concealed. Farewell

Please can you answer this question for me please ?
Can a husband still take her wife back after she has commited adultery ? I mean he has to forgive her , ok but can he still have sex with her without being in sin himself ?
I think about the story of David and his concubines . When these women were defiled by Absolom , the Bible makes it clear and insists that he did not know them anymore ( ok , he had other women , no need to divorce) .
Isabelle M Deut 24:1-4 says:
If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the LORD. Do not bring sin upon the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
I know you already know about this commandment.
However, its important to note that this commandment says "if he writes her a divorce and sends her away". This may not seem like an important part but its important when you look at husbands who did not send their wife away but instead the wife left on her own free will or was taken away.
There are cases where a wife was guilty of adultery but the husband did not divorce her and instead remained with her.
We know that Yah is married to Israel and Israel committed many adulteries. Yet Yah remained faithful to her and did not send her away immediately. Likewise, Hosea was married to a woman who was committing adulteries and yet Hosea remained with her. Again, King David's first wife was Milcah. When David was a fugitive, Milcah was given to another man without David's permission. So when King David was placed on the throne he sent for his wife Milcah to be returned to him and her husband was following and weeping along the whole way.
Finally it was said about David, that David did all things right in the sight of Yahuah save the matter with Uriah the Hittite.
I can go into a little more detail but I'll conclude here. There is a difference between being righteous before God and being clean. A man who sleeps with a another man's wife is unrighteous. But a man who sleeps with his own wife, even though she committed adultery, is unclean.
Righteousness is like the difference between a diamond and a lump of coal. Yah wants us to be diamonds.
But Yah is a master jewelcrafter. He desires finely cut and clean diamonds that are placed in settings of gold and silver. This is to be clean before Yah and to be holy.
Yah does not allow coal into His house. All coal will be cast out of the window. But those dirty and uncut diamonds, though they be in His house, will remain in the lowly places and they will never see Yah's face or behold His majesty.
Only those diamonds that are finely cut, washed, and placed in pure silver and gold will be close to Yah's face. They will be like a frontlet between His eyes or a jewel around His neck, resting above His heart. And He will guard those jewels like He guards His own face and His own bosom.
Any unclean man who wants his prayers to be heard must fast and be clean before he approaches Yah.
Lastly, there is a way that a righteous man can be unclean and there is a way that his uncleanness can be attributed to him as unrighteousness. This happens if the man is not ashamed of his uncleanness, but holds his head high before God, not fearing God's commandments. If a man does not feel shame for his wife living in adultery then that mans uncleanness also becomes unrighteousness. Because the man did not fear God in his heart and did not feel shame for his uncleanness. But if that man feels shame for his wife and he does not make themselves a leader of a church or a minister or a leader of prayers, but instead he holds his head in shame and supplicates before God with fasting in order to show respect to his uncleaness, then that same man will be considered clean before Yahuah and his cleanness of heart will purify his marriage. And Yah will hear his prayers in a time of fasting and abstaining from sexual relations.
M Krafts
Thank you very much for your answer.
What you say about the difference between unrighteous and unclean is very interesting and certainly a critical point.
But you say that a husband can take an adulterous wife back in the defiled marriage bed in order to fix it all ..but you also said that he will be unclean everytime he will go to his wife ?
Is that what God wants for him ? I mean , how do you explain that Christ allows a man to put away his wife on the ground of sexual immorality and marry another one (undefiled )?
And also (I'm sorry if I ask too many questions but I asked my husband and as he was not sure he preferred not to answer rather than say something wrong) , how do you explain that David did not know his defiled concubines anymore?
Isabelle M A husband can "mikveh" his wife because of his love. The spirit is greater than the flesh.
The marriage is made pure only after the necessary spiritual mikveh (baptism).
Once the marriage is made pure then they will no longer be unclean.
But if the woman continues in her adulteries then she remains unclean and furthermore she is unrighteous.
Whenever a person is sick they must be mikveh'd. When they are sick with sin there must be a spiritual mikveh. A washing must take place.
A mikveh is a rebirth. The spirit rules over everything. It is the law and the law is the spirit. In order for a person to become healed or cleansed, he must be reborn. There must be a mikveh.
But you cannot just force a mikveh or do one according to your will. It must be done according to the spirit. According to the law.
For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin. - Rom 7:14
When Naaman had leprosy he underwent a mikveh 7 times.
When Israel left egypt they were mikveh'd by the red sea. Before Yahuah married her she was mikveh'd.
Before the Messiah started the new covenant with the disciples they were mikveh'd by the holy spirit. And indeed they were mikveh'd in body as a testimony to the community. But the outward mikveh only symbolized the inward.
So then, what I am telling you is that a husband's strong love makes it possible to mikveh an adulterous wife. But a husband has to love her deeply.
Regarding the concubines, I'll say this, in the hebrew text the word "wife" is isht or isha. For isht, the last hebrew letter is the tav which is the letter meaning "covenant". But for isha the last letter is hey which means a revealing or "anything can happen".
In all of the scriptures a man can have many wives. But in the hebrew a man will only have one isht. He can have many ishas but he will never have more than one isht. This is the woman of covenant.
David's concubines were ishas. He did not posess a relationship with them strong enough to produce a mikveh. Only a husbands strong and devoted love to a specific woman can mikveh her. And she can only be mikveh'd if she repents and if the husband and wife go through the days of fasting that I mentioned. But repentance is the main thing.
Nothing ever changes in the spirit without there first being some type of mikveh or rebirth. Until that happens a person will always be sick or unclean.
Fasting is also a mikveh. This is the purpose of it. Because people become unclean in the world. But Yah is holy, holy, holy. If anyone wants to have their prayers heard, then they will have to mikveh their life and supplication in accordance with their uncleaness.
Nowhere in the bible is it commanded that a man must divorce his wife if she commits adultery. It only permits divorce because the marriage is indeed defiled. But what I'm telling you about the mikveh is the deeper part of Yah's heart. Under certain conditions a husband has the authority and power to mikveh his wife (isht) before God.
Isabelle M This is why its commanded that a man who divorces his wife and she remarries, he cannot take her back. Because she is no longer an isht to him. He canceled the covenant by his authority. Furthermore, her sin came about because of his decision. So then to take her back would defile him.

I'd rather crucify Jesus again no more suffering NO MORE!!!
