Thank you for this. RUclips is plagued with videos promoting horrendously bad teaching on this subject, particularly the Marriage Permanence Heresy. Those false teachers rewrite 1 Corinthians 7 in a manner fit for a George Orwell novel.
If anybody reading this comment, please pray for my cousin Vaughn, because he has cancer, and doctors put steroids in his brain, because he has tumors! Please and thank you.
Really great break down Pastor Doug. This was a just about the exact same conclusion I saw. This teaching doesn’t violate the law of Moses which many are ignorant of. And it doesn’t violate the nature and character of God as displayed from Genesis to Revelation.
Some people make it sound like no matter what the ex husband does it doesn’t matter if he sexually abused a minor his wife still supposed to stay single or go back to him only way for her to marry again is when he passes on. I was like dang that sounds so unfair on so many levels. I imagine situations like this happen more than we know.
It's contract law and always was. If one party violates the contract, it's VOID. Period. It's not a "covenant for life" if there is ANY way to get out of it - adultery or otherwise. It clearly has terms and conditions and one of them is that HOLY MATRIMONY should be a strand of THREE cords connecting two people to God and to each other. When any ONE of those is broken, the contract is VOID. How can two walk together if they are not agreed? Paul does NOT obligate the spouse of an unbeliever to be a eunuch the rest of their life. In this chapter, he points out that it might be easier, but also admits that not all have the grace for it and if they can't be alone, then it's NOT A SIN to marry. EVEN IF you didn't want to, but found yourself LOOSED.
Brother, you forgot to mention one important fact. Look at Paul's words: To those who are married ... To the others ... The implication is that Paul sees "the others", that is, those married to unbelievers, as not really married in the sense that the first group of people are married.
Thank You for this. This clears up a lot. I still have a couple more questions. You mentioned Darius has more specific insight on divorced people. Do I find that on this channel? Can u provide that link please? Thank You again, God bless
And wasnt paul talking about virgin men and women in 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 and telling those men who chouldnt stay virgin and singel for rest of their life that is not a sin if you cant be celibate and single even though its better for you but if you marry you have not sinned? What about jesus apostles says ”His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.”
Yes, and that is still the case. If the contract is in force, then you are bound by it. But the Bible (God/Moses) allowed for divorce in Deuteronomy and remarriage was allowable, was not a sin and happened regularly. Jesus said that in the beginning - in the Garden of Eden - it was not so and that's not the ideal. But we're in a fallen world now and hard hearts are a real thing. Moses allowed for that - and God endorsed it and protected women's rights by requiring a bill of divorcement, not just verbally "putting away" so that they had no protection and he could lie, have them stoned and keep their stuff. A wife is bound because they are STILL MARRIED. Same thing now, if you just abandon someone, just separate, and then remarry it's BIGAMY and adultery. Paul is NOT talking about someone that was given a bill of divorcement and yet is bound. Jesus did NOT come to change one jot or tittle of what Moses laid out. But two Christians should NEVER go that way, they should forgive and make up. They should try to get back to what it was like in the Garden. But sometimes a person is abandoned by an unbeliever and it clearly says they are NOT in bondage, they are RELEASED. It is not the heart of Jesus for an unbeliever to control the rest of a believers life and happiness.
@fotm1 I appreciate your response to my comment and your input on this matter. However, my concern with your stance is that Jesus said in Matthew 5:32 KJV, that the put away woman is divorced, so it appears the putting away is actually referring to her being divorced and both Matthew 5:32 & Matthew 19: 9 says that fornication was the only grounds for putting away or else if you marry another you commit adultery and so does the woman if she married another and so does the person that marries her.
@@NothingButBiblicalTeachingsThe statement made in 1 Corinthians would be a statement according to the law of Moses. In the law it states that the marriage comes to an end through death or divorce, Deut 24:1-4. In 1 Cor 7:39 the word dead is koimaō. This word means to sleep. It’s the same word Jesus used to describe Lazarus to the disciples. When Jesus used this word the disciples did not think Lazarus was dead, they thought he was resting. John 11:11-12 (KJV) 11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. The word that means dead as in having died physically is nekros which is where we get the term necromancer from. So Paul used a word that does not mean literal death. It’s a figurative death, like I’m dead tired.
@@NothingButBiblicalTeachings Under the law of Moses a woman that committed adultery was killed as well as the man. The word Jesus used in that passage is porneia and not moicheuō which is the word for adultery. Porneia does not necessarily means sexual activity as that word was associated with uncleanness and idolatry. Acts 15:20 (KJV) But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood. “A woman who transgresses the Jewish religion, that is, encourages her husband to violate religious commandments and more, may lose her right to her Ketubah.” The ketubah was the marriage agreement where her divorce payment was agreed upon before betrothing as required by Moses. This is explained in Duet 24:1. Jesus was quoting the law of Moses. Do a google search on how a woman could lose her ketubah payment. Just keep in mind now a days under modern law they don’t kill the wife for adultery.

This is the best teaching I've heard on marriage, divorce and remarriage...
Thank you for this. RUclips is plagued with videos promoting horrendously bad teaching on this subject, particularly the Marriage Permanence Heresy. Those false teachers rewrite 1 Corinthians 7 in a manner fit for a George Orwell novel.
Thank you for your videos on this. I had someone tell me I had to divorce my husband or I was going to burn in Hell.
Pastor Doug please make more of these kinds of videos, this was very informative
Will try. Took a full day.
Have been praying for some answers on this topic THANK YOU brother 🙏♥️

Seems good and true. Other than believing in deliverance as so few of us do anymore, I can't find the reason(s) why this man is attacked so much.

Can I contact the man who.makes these videos? I feel I need to talk to him about something that I feel in my heart.
In regards to 1 corinthians 7:39 paul says The wife was bound as long as her husband LIVES, NOT put away as you said.

@fotm1 Good morning sir, would you mind replying to my last comment because I want your insight on what I showed from those two scriptures?
