Everyone is lowly in comparison to Christ.

Great message and biblically accurate.. after this message and all your studying you still say you had a 1 night stand committing immorality, actually it's adultery. 7th commandment thoe shall not commit adultery. Not immorality.. adultery far more serious it's the breaking of a covenant... immorality is a general term for sexual sin but adultery specific to a person who is married.. also it wasn't a mistake it was intentional and deliberate against your wife. A mistake is going to the gas station putting the 91 octane in your tank when you meant to put 87.. you are minimizing your sin you committed against God and your wife. I assure you there's a reason Jesus uses the word adultery not immorality in his messages on this sin..

Good video and you are definitely right it's the people with the itchy ears that don't want to hear the truth they cannot accept it that's why they should have never got married in the first place they should have stayed single all of their lives it's nice that you opened up and spoke to truth you can tell that you're very sorry for what you have done to your family and now you see the truth I know the video is 9 years old I hope you didn't make back with your wife can you fix the marriage to change from your Waze I do agree it is very important to repent but there is a lot of CZcamsrs and pastors they just leave it at that yes repentance is very important but you're also supposed to turn away from your sin the deceptionist you can repent and continue in your sin you are forgiven I'm not sure how they came up with that another lie from the enemy you will be forgiven you just need to stop you need to turn away from not sin just like you have done and never do it again God bless

There are multitude of people nearly 60% of people who have been devorced because of Abusement, Cheating by their spouse and because of the unbelieving Spouse so some they remained single all the life after devorce but some they married the believer spouse after getting devorced from the unbelieving Spouse.... So what you say they are ending up in hell because of their second Merriage..

Brother, this is an anointed video. I am that much convicted of the truth. Thank you.

I believe the reason remarriage is wrong is because the only one you should need is Jesus Christ. Often times people who remarry are afraid to be alone they deny that God has been with them there whole lives

it seems to be usual that people, who find themselves, in your situation, try to justify it....thanx you for staying true, to the Word..

the teaching is not boring, it is informative....

isnt it amazing that the key word, in the whole debate is a term that no one seems to be able to define, correctly....especially in the light of the example of Joseph and Mary...

is commits adultery.....akin....is committing adultery.....would one be clearer, on the duration of this sin....a one time event, vs a continuous event...

what is the definition of fornication, and why was this terms meaning changed to sexual immorality?

Thank you for your honesty and being transparent. And the word of God is for those that truly want to live for the Lord and not for their own selfish desire. Peace🌻

What if you dont get married in a church. Or if you marry a girl with kids and she was never married

Who is the true wife? The wife at age 18 and neither of you were saved during the marriage? Or the second wife where both of you were saved later in the marriage? I have always wanted to know this.

marriage, divorce, and remarriage....the biggest open secret, of the day.....as you have already stated....

1 Cor 7....as you probably already know the term is enslaved....and the verb tense is worth studying...also...

if someone had a proper definition of fornication it seems that this subject would be....put to bed, so to speak....

fornication, not sexual immorality....check on Erasmus and the changing of this term.....from fornication to sexual immorality.....

is fornication, not different, than adultery....?

No such thing as fornication within divorce. Jesus was speaking to Jews in Matthew thats not even a book written to Christians. No divorce as it is a covenant until death do you part. If you get upset you have to take that up with God. Matthew is not even to Christians. Mark tells you and Luke tells you stay single or go back to your spouse if you are not dead less you be an adulterer

I believe if you read everything Jesus said, you should stay married.

What you said just said this is what I’ve been screaming but no one wants to listen

Isn’t it awesome to have brothers everywhere!

Your awesome brother whoa!

Excuse me, could you please give us an update. Are you still waiting to reconcile with your wife?

Remarriage while your original spouse is alive (if you were their original spouse) is adultery. Repentance requires STOPPING THE SIN and SINNING NO MORE - thus getting out of the adulterous remarriage. We would not say a homosexual marriage is okay if they continue to stay married, neither is an adulterous remarriage okay by staying in it. This is how God feels about divorce: "And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the Lord , the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord , and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?" Malachi 2:13‭-‬17 KJV Only the book of Matthew contains the "except for fornication" permission to divorce, as only the book of Matthew was specifically written for the Jews and the Jewish culture understood that this "fornication" meant sexual unfaithfulness in the betrothal/engagement period (not after the marriage was consummated by sexual union between the husband and wife). An example of this is shown where Joseph wanted to DIVORCE the mother of Jesus, Mary, before they had consummated their marriage as it appeared that she had been unfaithful as she was pregnant prior to having sex with Joseph. "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together (sexually), she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS." - Matthew 1:18‭-‬25 KJV (Jesus speaking) "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication (the Greek word "porneia"), causeth her to commit adultery (the Greek word "moicheia") and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." - Matthew 5:31‭-‬32 KJV (Jesus speaking) "I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." - Matthew 19:9 KJV Note no fornication clause in the rest of the gospels, because it was specifically written to the gentiles which did not have the strict betrothal customs like the Jews: (Jesus speaking) "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." - Luke 16:18 KJV (Jesus speaking) "And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery." - Mark 10:11‭-‬12 KJV The ONLY permission for remarriage is the death of the original spouse: (Paul speaking) "For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man." - Romans 7:2‭-‬3 KJV Lastly, abandonment by a spouse does not allow remarriage to another. You must either reconcile or stay unmarried. (Paul speaking) "And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage (to perform the marital duties - this does not allow remarriage) in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" - 1 Corinthians 7:10‭-‬16 KJV John the Baptist took the divorce and remarriage adultery so serious, that he lost his head over it via decapitation by Herod: "But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife." Mark 6:16‭-‬18 KJV Of all the laws in the Old Testament, Paul emphasized only four - and abstaining from sexual immorality (which is what remarriage is while your original spouse is alive) is one of them: (Paul speaking) "For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well." Acts 15:28‭-‬29 KJV Having children in an adulterous remarriage does not make it any less important to exit that adulterous remarriage as shown in Ezra 10 where they the people had to repent (stop being a part of) unlawful marriages, some of which resulted in offspring ("All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children." Ezra 10:44 KJV). Staying in an adulterous remarriage can take you to hell: (Paul speaking) "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such WERE some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." 1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬11 KJV

In Jeremiah 3 God is directly referring to Deuteronomy 24 - it is referring to God putting Israel, His wife, away. And he goes AGAINST Deut. 24 and tells her to come back to Him - even after she then "becomes another man's": 'They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the Lord .' Jeremiah 3:1 KJV In the SAME chapter, God gives her a bill of DIVORCE: "And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also." Jeremiah 3:8 KJV Still in the same chapter, AFTER God has given her a bill of divorce, He states that he is STILL married to her - the bill of divorce therefore did not nullify their marriage: "Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord ; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:" Jeremiah 3:14 KJV Jeremiah 3 shows that God is not following Deuteronomy 24's divorce law - because He does not have a hard heart. That law applied to the Israelites, who had hard hearts, under Moses' leadership. Jesus also says that this law in Deuteronomy 24 was given for those under Moses due to their hard hearts. He clearly says that He does not give us that permission - we are not to have hard hearts, but we are to forgive our husbands/wives and wait for them to repent and reconcile with them when they sin against us. "He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." Matthew 19:8‭-‬9 KJV "Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.” Matthew 18:21‭-‬35 NKJV (note that this chapter is the chapter directly before Jesus' teaching of divorce due to hardness of heart) Praise God that He does not divorce us and marry another. When He puts us away or divorces us, He waits for us to repent and reconcile with Him. Praise God that His heart is not hard. Beg God to give you a heart of flesh to forgive your covenant husband/wife, 490 times (seventy times seven times), lest He not forgive you on Judgment Day for your trespasses against Him, which I assure you are much, much greater than 490. Divorce with adulterous remarriage is for the hard hearted. Woe to you if you counted amongst the hard hearted on Judgment Day: "But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;" Romans 2:5 KJV A hard heart is evidence that the Spirit of God is not in that person: "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26 KJV

Bless you brother for boldly declaring the Truth. I greatly appreciate your solemn warning and pray Our Father continues to strengthen and establish you as a man of God.

How come you people don’t just teach how bad marriage really is? “Jesus answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭20:34-35‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ www.bible.com/bible/114/luk.20.34-35.nkjv People should be avoiding marriage altogether. You can’t suffer divorce if you never marry.

I am 31 years old and was remarried... by the strength of the Lord as I was shown the truth of this scripture by my second husband..we came out of adultery which is committing adultery and as the Lord shares 1Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites .... our Lord says DO NOT BE DECEIVED.. many teach it is okay to divorce and remarry but by the Word of God it obviously is not. Another MAJOR misconception is that baptism is only ‘an outward showing of an inward change’ the Bible specifically mentions MANY times that baptism in the name of Jesus if for the remission of sins: Mark 16:15-18 Mark 1:4 Matthew 28:18-19 Acts 2:38-41 Acts 8:36-39 Acts 10:47-48 Acts 16:30-34 1Corinthians 6:11 Romans 6:3-4 Ephesians 4:5-6 1Peter 3:20-21 I pray that even 1 person reads this and researched what the Bible REALLY says about baptism. Repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Praise the Lord! If you have anymore questions please reply to me also a brother in Christ whose channel is called ‘TheWordProphet’ channel would be helpful. Be blessed as you continue in His word in Jesus name

I have watched many videos about divorce and remarrying but all what they have in common is they are addressing it as what Jews wanted it of those days. Either as sin or not sin. Yet on a contrary Jesus addresses tue same issue by the law by himself. Haven't seen any video addressing the same issue of divorce and remarrying under Grace through Christ Jesus. Most of us bible scholars have taught most of these topics superceeding what Jesus really taught during his time. If sin was known to man through the law, what did Grace do then, if divorce and remarrying is sin as well. This means we the Gospel preachers infact are not preaching the Gospel but the law of Moses mixing it with a little drop Grace to superimposse righteousness to the saints of God. For example most scriptures will be deleted out of the Bible and in a disguise we are telling Jesus you have no idea wat you saying here, like Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. Matthew:12:31 The Bible says we are given a Spirit of peace and liberty. If you have no peace in you and no liberty in you yet the bible says all things are knew in Christ, the old I gone, then what we are preaching about divorce and remarrying is not a biblical concept it's our own view. Secondly when Jesus taught about this topic it wasn't yet a new covenant, but most of us we preach and teach as if it was already a new one. Let me ask a question, if marriage was Paramount in the kingdom of God, why did Jesus frankly say, in heaven there's no marriage. This brings us back to the point that says that says flesh and blood will not inherit the kingdom of God. Thirdly, if we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, why should we get married under the LAW. The law is the only way you can get married and attain a certificate of marriage. This implied certificate of marriage is a certificate of divorce on Deuteronomy 24. Unless the church starts to marry under Grace, we shapp not have divorce anymore. But as long us we mix a little law and a little Grace , this means what Jesus taught was something far different from what we teach today. So for being adultery is because by law many never attained it legally and by law to u were still married. Jesus taught the Jews thought their law not outside the law. Why??!, He said even just a mere look at the woman and feel for her it's adultery, that means before God divorcing is alot if it was based on adultery as well. So unless the church stops mixing a little law and a little Grace we shall be preaching something different.

I'm surprised no one is mentioning Hosea. The Lord commanded him to marry Gomer, a prostitute. My husband left me for another. He came back and we were going to counseling. Out of the blue he stopped counseling and left again for another woman. The Lord has told me that I am married still. He commanded me to wear my ring to show I am married. I look around and there are so many people getting remarried even in the church. I had a pastor tell me that I am free in God's eyes. I feel left out but the Lord was very clear about my waiting. He gave me the scripture Perfect patience produces perfect works. It has been 5yrs and there is a divorce about to go through in December '19. I know God will restore, He is just. He also told me vengeance is His. It has not been easy. I'm struggling to pray. Struggling with anger, unforgiveness, and biterness. Staying married for the Lord. Please pray for my family. To God be the Glory.

After hearing your testimony I now understand why people like you teach this. You need this to be true for your marriage to be restored. I’m sorry you messed up brother. But guess what, sin has consequences. Sometimes it ends relationships. They are sometimes a permanent end. Move on. You are better off, according to Jesus in Matt. 19:10 staying single and not marrying. Forget about restoring your marriage and condemning others and move on. Teach God’s love and mercy, and leave this nonsense to God to teach each one as needed. God can do it better and convict as needed. Whereas because your testimony is shattered no one can rightly take you seriously as unbiased. You are jaded. This sounds like nothing more than a club you are using to get your way in your former, yes that’s right I said FORMER spouse. Let it go. Leave it to God, because you sound like a child who didn’t get their way.

So my takeaway from these teachings is that we as Christians should forgive our spouses, and then if they refuse to stop committing adultery then we kill them so we can be free to remarry.

The Pharisees posed a legal question to Jesus (Matthew 19:3. Mark 10:2). Choosing not to deal with this issue from the law, Jesus instead appealed to God’s creative design for marriage (Matthew 19:4-6, 8b). Marriage was created to be lifelong, because of hard hearts it was allowed to prematurely end (v.8). Accepting the tension that creates is part of understanding this issue. That’s because Jesus is explaining to the Pharisees the inadvertent consequence of prematurely terminating a marriage. Jesus’ counter argument against those who were defending divorce for every reason (Matt. 19:3) was a rebuke of their hard hearts (v.8). He revealed to them that divorce staged one to commit adultery by default, defaulting on God’s creative design for marriage (Matthew 19:4-6,8b). Jesus explains that marriage sets forth the obligation to CLEAVE (v.5), therefore having an inherent obligation of lifetime fidelity. In other words when a man and woman enter into marriage they are inherently obligated to a lifetime of fidelity to each the other. What would happen if the obligation of fidelity is inadvertently violated (by divorce and remarriage)? The answer, the adultery Jesus described. The simple truth Jesus revealed to Israel about this way of committing adultery is properly comprehended by knowing that God created the intimacy of marriage between husband and wife to be sanctified for them exclusively. The catch 22 of terminating the first marriage and constituting another is that it violates in principle the exclusivity set forth by the first, thus causing the adultery in the manner Jesus described. Divorce and remarriage throughout Israel’s history produced both a transgression and a transference of marital obligation. This is the dilemma it caused Israel then and the Church today. It is the very dilemma Jesus described. But the dilemma turns into an enigma when biblical precedents are dismissed. Or to put it another way, by believing this adultery occurs because the first marriage isn’t terminated. Thus causing even more false suppositions to abound.

THANK YOU.😭 THANK YOU for speaking the Truth. I am repenting from an Adulterous ReMarriage and it's extremely painful but nothing is more painful than hurting God through my Sin. Please continue sharing. ..your helping to Save People from a Eternity that there is no escape from torment.

Tim Power why are we not under grace, dosnt God forgive All sin

In these Last Days of the Church Age it's so easy to find churches that will feed you lies as truths with regards to the marriage covenant. Only corrupt and perverted churches teach that it's perfectly fine to remarry after divorce, especially if you're not the one who cheated. Churches that make up the Bride of Christ do not teach this lie that originated in the pit of hell. They teach the Truth of the Lord Jesus Christ. "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.” [Mark 10:11,12] When a man and a woman make a covenant before God to marry until death, it means exactly that. Only the death of one of them can dissolve the marriage covenant. The covenant they both make before God is inscribed on their very souls. If the man commits adultery against his wife or visa versa the marriage covenant will be defiled but not dissolved. Men and women don't enter into a marriage covenant on the understanding that they'll dissolved it if one or both of them commit adultery. Christian Couples really need to pay more attention to the vows they're making before God on their wedding Day. Because the sin of adultery cannot break the marriage covenant, but can only defile it, the Lord told the married woman, who was caught in the act of adultery to: "...go and sin no more.” [John 8:11] In other words, the Lord told her to stop defiling her marriage covenant but instead to remain faithful to her own husband. The "fornication clause" many are using as an excuse to remarry only applied to betrothed wives in Jewish times! A betrothed couple waited for about a Year before they consummated their marriage. If within that Year the betrothed wife commited fornication, the betrothed husband could "divorce" her to marry someone else. This is what Joseph wanted to do when he thought Mary had committed fornication not adultery. "Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery..." [Matt.19:9] After a marriage has been consummated, if a spouse then commits adultery, a separation, not divorce, is permitted. If the spouse repents, however, a reconciliation must be sought. If he or she doesn't repent and goes off to marry someone else, the innocent spouse must remain unmarried and continue to pray for a reconciliation. This may or may not happen. "Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife." [1 Cor.7:10,11] "But if the unbelieving spouse separates himself, let him be separated. In circumstances like these, the brother or sister is not enslaved - God has called you to a life of peace." [1Cor.7:15] This is another verse many Christians use to support remarriages. They're reading into the text something that is not there. The brother or sister not being enslaved simply means that the brother or sister are no longer able to function in the capacity as a husband or a wife any longer, because their respective spouses have chosen to leave. For we get married to be enslaved, in a good sense, to our spouses! "And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness...present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness...But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God" [Rom.6:18,19,22] Being enslaved to our spouses means being a slave of righteousness for holiness. It means being a slave of God. You really have to twist the Scriptures to conclude that not being enslaved means you're free to remarry if your spouse leaves. This is confirmed to not be the case. For in the very next verse Paul places the responsibility of saving the spouse who has left in the hands of the husband or wife, who are to remain unmarried. "For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?" [1 Cor.7:16] A husband or a wife cannot pray with a pure heart before God, for the salvation of a spouse who has left, if they're committing adultery, in an unlawful marriage, with someone else. What so many Christians don't realize is that the Lord Jesus Christ is using the marriage covenant to separate the wheat from the chaff in the Church before the Rapture. This is why it's so important for Christians to choose their spouses very very carefully. Because, unlike the World, we have only one chance to get it right. And if we blow it we may have to spend the rest of our lives alone in order to remain within God's perfect will.

Levticus 18:16 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife; it is your brother's nakedness. Leviticus 20:21 If a man takes his brother's wife, it is impurity.1 He has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless. This is what the problem was with John and Herod. John said to Herod “it is not LAWFUL to have your BROTHERS wife. This is about the law. Not divorce and remarriage.

The problem with everyone teaching this, it is essentially teaching that Jesus changed the law of Moses. But that cannot be true at all because the words from Jesus’ very mouth was that not a stroke of the pen would pass from the law until it was finished (his death, burial and resurrection). So if Jesus HIMSELF declared that not one jot of the law would pass, then we can’t teach that he did change the law, LOL. The PROBLEM that was happening was that the Pharisees abused the law. They plainly asked him if Moses commanded divorce for ANY reason. The law clearly did not allow divorce for any reason. It was an abuse of the law. Dumping wives for ANY cause. Which is essentially the same as cheating. He did NOT change the law. False teaching. Wicked. Tearing up homes. Hate was always murder. Lust was always adultery. These aren’t NEW laws but exposing hypocrites and how their hearts were far from keeping the law. Yes God hates divorce. Yes from the beginning the plan was lifelong fidelity. But there are exceptions for an innocent spouse.

A simple correction on your reading of the sermon of the mount where you mistakenly think Jesus is setting a higher law than the mosaic law (the Old testament as you said).Technically your interpretation is the Anabaptist error. Jesus did not say "it is written but I say..." but "You have heard it was said by them of old" that was the oral interpretations of the rabbis NOT the Mosaic law. Jesus was actually correcting their interpretation of Moses not establishing a higher or stricter law. Mathew 5: 18 makes that explicit. Jesus said nothing new in addition to Moses in that sermon. He just corrected their Rabbinic misinterpretations. As an aside.. it means the sermon on the mount is the Torah not the new covenant written upon men's hearts by the Spirit. You need to readjust your understanding in light of this. Anabaptist interpretation is in error. Something you need to be cautious about quoting Heth and Wenham since Heth famously has renounced his position and has adopted a more traditional protestant view and he lists his reasons and errors. equip.sbts.edu/publications/journals/journal-of-theology/sbjt-61-spring-2002/jesus-on-divorce-how-my-mind-has-changed/ I've been down that same rabbit hole as you some years ago. A lot of the Christian writers are blinded to taking the words as they are within the Jewish culture rather they follow the Greek Church Fathers who were from a culture where marriage was monogamous and they applied the same rules to a man as the Torah applied to a woman. It might be the way we also read the scriptures in a post feminist world but it's not the 2nd Temple Jewish world Jesus spoke to. It doesn't take much time to see all the scriptures against remarriage are in reference to a woman, it's the Greek Church father's who are responsible for interpreting them as applicable to both woman and men. Paul understood this in 1 Corinthians 7:11 saying simply that a man is not to divorce his wife, but to the woman he says if she does separate or divorce let her remain single. Paul fails to repeat this instruction to the woman in reference to the man..because he is Jewish not Greek. The same is true in 1 Corinthians 7:39 and Romans 7:2. It's the biggest blind spot in the divorce remarriage debate. To my knowledge there is only one book that deals with it (William Luck). I don't agree with hiis case but value his boldness. Rather than dividing Greek words and creating a modern rabbinic debate you need remember as Christians we have the person of the Holy Spirit who writes his laws upon our hearts and as Romans 7:6 says " we serve in newness of Spirit not oldness of letter" .If that's true then Christians who consistently walk in the power of the Spirit generally in their lives will have a clear conscience about these matters in their own lives (Romans 9: 1) Perhaps witbout the same ability to announce a general rule separate from life in the Spirit.

excellent video.

Keep teaching the truth about divorce and remarriage. It is adultery.

My bible in proverbs 18:22 says he who finds a wife finds a good thing. Not what you said it says.

So since I married a divorced woman should I divorce her?

well....it seems that you are not letting your life experience dictate your theology....as many seem to do..

if this teaching is correct....can anyone say Matthew 7.21

1 Cor 7 15 the word is enslaved....not bound....
