You're welcome. Thank you for writing me, sister. Naturally, even if your husband believes false teachings, you still need to submit to him, unless he demands you do evil. The Bible teaches women to submit even to ungodly husbands. As far as religious beliefs, the "oneness" belief which denies the Trinity is a more significant error than false tongues, and one which I believe threatens the soul. It is very hard for anyone to leave behind beliefs that they were raised in. It is alright to explain your beliefs to your husband, but if he does not accept them, do not push it. Pray for him. You can also give him good material to read on the topics, or ask a more orthodox man to speak with your husband, if he is willing. I'd be happy to discuss the doctrine with him as well. Show him your godliness with your virtuous behavior, your meek spirit, and by honoring him. That alone can be a teaching tool. Feel free to write me at my e-mail, which is beneath my videos. Blessings.

Much of what you say about the Messianic movement is true. I've met a few others who left over its feminism, or the fact it was thinly-veiled evangelicalism. I respect your movement as long as it is true to all of Scripture, and seeks to live in faith and obedience to the Lord. I will have a look. Thank you.

@@holinessofthebride1935 Yes we are true to scripture. we go by the principle here in Acts 17:11. NAZARENE JUDAISM CREED /STATEMENT OF FAITH WHAT DO WE BELIEVE: We believe in One God, that God is One, as revealed in the Scriptures. "Shema (Hear), O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One." (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29).We believe that all the mitzvot (Commandments) are included in the S’hma. Yehoshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah) Although many use different names We use the name Yehoshua for the Messiah Strongs 2424 2424 Iēsoús - Jesus, the transliteration of the Hebrew term, 3091 /Lṓt("Yehoshua"/Jehoshua, contracted to "Joshua") which means "Yahweh saves" (or "Yahweh is salvation"). what ever you do in your home it sup to you but All who joins must agree to use THIS name YEHOSHUA from the Strongs concordance for the public and in worship as a synagogue. We believe that Yehoshua Ha Natzeret (Jesus The Nazarene) was, and is, Israel’s promised Messiah and the Saviour of Mankind - “the Word [Who] became flesh and dwelt among us” (Yohanan/John 1:14). “He lived as a holy Tsaddik fulfilling without blemish the mitzvot of the Torah. He brings to perfection the human expression of the divine image”. (Isa. 7:14; John 1:14; Gal. 4:4; Heb. 1:1-4; 4:15). We believe the Messiah represents an entity within Israel, and we will resist any attempt to separate Yehoshua from His Jewish people. We believe in the unique calling and role of the Messiah to cause Jewish/Isrealite believers and the Righteous from the Nations to build the Kingdom of G-d together. We believe that the role of Nazarene Judaism in the world is to distribute the light and become a light for the Nations, in order to introduce them to the covenants of Israel through the ultimate light, Messiah our righteousness. We believe in the literal, physical return of Messiah to rule and reign upon the throne of David in Jerusalem. (Zechariah 14; Revelation 19-20) We believe that the Spirit of Yehowah (Ruach Elohim) comforts, teaches, leads, indwells and empowers all whom Yehowah regenerates (i.e. ‘rebirth’ - to be ‘born again’). The Ruach Elohim is the seal and guarantee of the promise of salvation. The Ruach convicts the world of sin, establishes righteousness and judgement (Acts 9:31; 1 John 2:27; John 16:13; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Timothy 1:7). THE SCRIPTURES We go by the canon of the ancient Dead Sea scrolls which is 83 books. We are not protestant who by their tradition have" 66 books "or Catholic 73 books or orthodox 80 books. We believe that the 83 books of Holy Scriptures The Greek Septuagint OR The Hebrew Tanakh, The Jewish Apocrypha, 1 Enoch, jubilees and the New Testament are the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of Elohim (2 Timothy 3:16-17). To properly interpret the meaning of the Holy scriptures, we must remember that it has a Hebrew origin and was written by Jews/ Israelites. This is especially true when reading the Writings of the Apostles (Matt. 5:17‐20). We believe that the Torah is a revelation of the righteousness of Yehowah and a description (along with the rest of Scripture) of the lifestyle of the redeemed community. (Matthew 5:17-19; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). We believe that the Torah is Yehowah's love letter to the Israelite people, which is a binding Ketuvah (marriage contract) today, and until heaven and earth pass away (Matthew 5:18). SIN AND FORGIVNESS We believe that all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of Yehowah. (Romans 3:23) We believe that Yehoshua's death and resurrection accomplished the atonement for all who place their faith in him. Whoever trusts in Yehowah, in His work alone, is made a new creation in Yehoshua, indwelt by the Spirit of Yehowah, and is transferred from the power of darkness into the kingdom of Elohim. (Mark 1:14; Mark 4:11; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 5, 6, Colossians 1:13-14) We believe in justification by faith through the grace of Yehowah Elohim alone, and not by human efforts. One may not earn, merit, or keep this eternal salvation by his own efforts. A new creation is the work of G-d alone. (Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans 8:29-39) THE COVENANTS We believe in the continuity of Yehowah's covenants with the Jewish/Israelite people, the physical people of Israel (Jeremiah 31:35-36). We believe in and celebrate G-d’s Appointed Times. JEW AND GENTILE In Messiah The Acts model. Acts 21:21-24=Jews Acts 21:25=Gentiles. A jew/Israelite is anyone who is jewish by their FATHER or MOTHER and raised Jewish. We do NOT believe one is a jew by their mother alone. A jew has to be more than just one at birth Romans 2:29 is between 2 types of jews. one who is born a jew and doesn't follow obey and follow Elohim and the other is a born jew who obeys Elohim and who's heart belongs to the most high! Romans 2:29 No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by the Spirit. And a person with a changed heart seeks praise from God, not from people. We acknowledge that the body of believers is composed of both Jews and Gentiles who have received Yehoshua the Messiah as the promised Redeemer (Rom. 10:12‐13). The "middle wall of partition" has been broken down and we worship the God of Israel together (Eph. 2:13‐15, Gal 3:6). We believe that the land of Israel belongs to God and He gave it to the Jewish people (the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) to live in and possess (Rom. 11:25‐29). He has recently returned Israel, as prophetically promised, to this land (Isa. 11:11‐12). We believe that all non-Jewish people who trust in Yehoshua are grafted into Israel. While this does not make them Jewish, they are full and equal participants in the covenants of promise. (Ephesians 2:12; Romans 11:11-24; Jeremiah 31:33). We believe that the non-Jewish people that are grafted into the commonwealth of Israel should reflect this in their lifestyle, and commitment to G-d, the Messiah and the Jewish people. Acts 15. And Acts 21:25. We believe physical Circumcision is reserved for Israelites/jews and not for gentiles. Acts 21:21-25. THE "TRINITY" We do NOT use the word "trinity" as it is found Nowhere in scriptures and a Roman Catholic doctrine and there are at least 5 versions of the "trinity". So we are Non-Trinitarian. However we believe in the GODHEAD (divinity) Colossians 2:9. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; Romans 1:20. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device” (Acts 17:29, . 1 Yohanan/John 5:7 because three are who are testifying in the heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these -- the three -- are one; LEADERSHIP We do NOT believe in "rabbis" or even Popes or catholic priests whom many call "father " Matthew 23:8-9! We have ONE Rabbi= YEHOSHUA MASHIACH. We do not believe in women preachers/ or women leadership in the synagogue 1 Timothy 2:12. We believe in head coverings for women and strict modesty for both men and women., We are Not to be like the world. We beileve in plurality of Elders. So we as a Synagogue have elders who are under Rabbi Yehoshua Ha Mashiach.

@@holinessofthebride1935 do you have an email?

I appreciate the lengthy statement. So you believe that the Son and the Spirit are God by nature, as well as the Father? Enoch is definitely not Holy Scripture, and it contains falsehoods. The only historical church I know of which uses it is the Ethiopian church. It was understood to be uninspired by everyone else.

Yes, it is on my channel description and beneath my videos: kodeshkallah@yahoo.com

The teaching is true. I am indeed using the full counsel of God, which includes the New Testament, some of which is different from the Old. In the New Testament, Jesus specifically contrasts His teaching with Moses' teaching on marriage. Jesus' teaching is not the same, although it IS rooted in the Torah, through creation in Genesis. Marriage is joined by God for life, and man may not put it asunder. Remarriage is adultery. That is the biblical teaching. While Jesus and Paul do not specifically refute the law of no return, the new basis they provide for us in marriage relegates it to the past.

@@holinessofthebride1935 Paul and Jesus also do not outright forbid remarriage. Also a central theme of the NT is God’s redemption, forgiveness, and restoration. Paul even says in cases of abandonment that the other person is not bound. Rather than getting hung up on a few verses which some interpret to contradict the OT laws I think it is better to embrace the new creation in Christ and trust the guidance of the Holy Spirit for matters such as this. If it were as serious as you say certainly Paul would have been more clear about it seeing as remarriage is a natural desire and very common occurrence.

Yes, Jesus and Paul do forbid remarriage. They teach not to depart from your spouse. They teach that to remarry while your spouse still lives is adultery. Adultery is a sin, and that sin leads souls to hell. The New Testament even teaches plainly that no adulterer will inherit the kingdom of God. No one is “hung up on” those verses. I and others simply trust in the teachings of Scripture, seek to obey them, and teach others to obey them. They do not seem “to contradict” the Old, but actually are new and different teachings, which you will not find in the OT, except in the principle pointed to by Jesus, of two becoming one flesh. All of Scripture is God breathed, and we do not simply ignore the teachings that sound hard. If we love God, we obey His Word. The theme of redemption and a new creation cannot be perverted as an excuse to keep sinning. Rather, the opposite is true. That redemption and new creation will lead us to DEPART from our sin, and live in holiness. It will lead us to recognize and confess our sins, and then to repent. That is how God’s grace works in us. The New Testament, is full of many clear teachings warning about continuing in sin. It warns of earthly suffering and physical death, and it warns of hell for those living in sin. That means that the theme of redemption is not an excuse to keep sinning. God’s grace will defeat sin in our lives. The new creation is holy.

@@holinessofthebride1935 so the nature of marriage changes after Christ or is everyone who remarried in the OT now in hell? Please point me to the verses that forbid remarriage as a whole. Only thing I can think of is Paul’s instruction not to leave a spouse and remarry, doesn’t touch on the one who was abandoned or cheated on, in fact he says the one who was abandon is not bound indicating they are free to remarry. Also please explain your reasoning for instructing people to leave their second marriage and reunite with their former spouse when this is strongly forbidden in the OT. The NT and OT should not contradict. Seems to me the OT is clearly allowing remarriage and Jesus only addressed it in response to a specific question, Paul also only addressed specific situations. There is no flat command that remarriages are not allowed in the NT. Therefore I can only conclude that is still allowed but the NT provides guidance on how to approach the subject. We have freedom in Christ and He can cleanse and make us new.

Why would everyone in a remarriage in the OT be in hell? You’re not putting a lot of thought into this, and are just jumping anywhere to try and excuse remarriage. Jesus said “Moses permitted you,” so they are not in hell on that basis. I already told you where Jesus and Paul prohibit remarriage; they teach not to put asunder a marriage, that if you are divorced to remain single or reconcile (that’s only two choices there), and they teach that to remarry while your spouse still lives is adultery. Adultery is a sin, and Paul specifically teaches at least twice that NO ADULTERER will inherit the kingdom of God. That is a prohibition, as adultery leads to hell. Remarriage is adultery, so of course you cease your adultery as part of repentance from sin. You do so with a remarriage just as you’d do so with a regular adulterous affair, or with fornication. This is easy. You may indeed return to your covenant spouse now, but you could not in the Old Covenant, because the Old Covenant is passed away, and that teaching was based on a concession to Israel’s hardness. We have a totally new basis today: God’s will from Genesis, that two be joined and made one for life. The Old Covenant has been done away with. Jesus’ teaching is specifically contrasted with Moses’ and is something new. But you don’t really care about whether one can return or not. You just want to find justification for what God prohibits, so you will attack anything you can. The “flat-out” command is that adultery is sin. You don’t want to see that, despite the fact I have told you already. It ruins your day, and you whole doctrine of divorce and remarriage. You Shall Not Commit Adultery. That’s in the Torah, and in the New Testament. Repent, and stop trying to justify what God calls sin.

No, the topic of pedophilia is not covered in any specifics in the Bible. We learn that through natural law, and human development, and we recognize it to be wrong, particularly before pubescence. I don't see anywhere in the Bible in which it gives a minimum age for marriage. That would have been determined culturally. On a cultural level certainly, many marriages would not have been up to the bride's decision, and some would have been. However, leaving it up entirely to the father is not mandated in Scripture at all. In fact, we have the example of one matriarch who married after being asked if she agreed, and she subsequently agreed. We also have the model of God and Israel, then Christ and the Church, in which both "brides" give their consent to the covenant. The Bible gives us some specifics and some standards. It also leaves room for variance, in which godly men and godly communities set the standards. When it comes to marriage I have no problem with marriage in the teens.

God bless.

Bless you. Keep walking faithfully in the Lord.

You're welcome. Keep walking in faithfulness. We need more men and women who will sacrifice their desires for obedience to Christ. God bless you abundantly.

The church is deceiving millions. Thank you for doing the right thing in the Lord. I hope you can make it happen with peace and understanding between both of you.

@holinessofthebride1935 oh no he don't understand and my family doesn't either they think I'm crazy but I come from a family that is remarriage and divorce and I know they know the truth but not willing to do what I am and that's OK they have to work out there own salvation and I will mine with God's grace and help 🙏

Hello, Thanks for visiting me here. My understanding is that "fornication" refers to premarital sex here. That would be an exception for fornication during the betrothal period, which would allow for ending the betrothal (essentially a divorce) and marrying another. It could also refer to discovered fornication on the wedding night, as mentioned in the Torah, and allow for what is essentially an annulment, since the man had been tricked into marriage on the promise his bride was a virgin. That is not the historical approach, but I think it makes the most sense, and ties together with the fact the exception clause only appears in Matthew, which is focused on a Jewish audience. I've seen this view presented no earlier than around four centuries ago, but it's possible it is older.

@@holinessofthebride1935 no. It means you can only separate from your spouse if they cheat on you (c1152). You can also separate from your spouse if they're out of control (c1153). But because it's only by but because let no man put usunder, said putting away is only by ecclesiastical decree. This has nothing to do with annulment.

That is the Roman Catholic approach. However, the word itself is not the word for adultery. The Greek porneia is used most often in reference to either premarital sex or prostitution. It refers to a divorce, but I say it is "in essence" an annulment if used for discovered fornication on the wedding night. That would be a result of deception before the marriage took place. I don't see anything anywhere in the New Testament about divorce for being "out of control," but surely if a spouse were very dangerous, you could separate from them until reconciliation became possible. Either way one interprets it, remarriage is not an option, and the union is truly only ended by death.

I believe it is you who is not dividing the Word correctly. In fact, as I see it, you are not even responding to the topic of the article. You ignore all of the Scripture quoted and referenced in my article. Then you post our own, which are primarily about faith being the means of salvation, which is not in doubt, and which is not the topic of my article. Rather, the topic is that repent in the New Testament means to turn from sin, just as it does in the Old Testament. It is furthermore that repentance necessarily comes along with faith in Christ. These things are clean through many passages of the New Testament from start to finish. The believer repents and believes. If he still lives in sin, he is basically denying Jesus Christ, and can expect punishment. Some of the passages (and we could fine more if we wished): “yet when they come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of those who took them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong, we have committed wickedness'; 1 Kings 8:47 “yet when they come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong, and have committed wickedness'; 2 Chronicles 6:37 Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.” Job 42:6 “They said, ‘Repent now everyone of his evil way and his evil doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and your fathers forever and ever. Jeremiah 25:5 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Repent, turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations. Ezekiel 14:6 “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” says the Lord GOD. “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. Ezekiel 18:30 “He shall not return to the land of Egypt; But the Assyrian shall be his king, Because they refused to repent. Hosea 11:6 NT: John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. Mark 1:4-5 Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:14-15 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. “For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. “But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John 3:18-21 “I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. Luke 15:7 “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Luke 15:32 repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Luke 24:47 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Repent, and believe in the gospel.” “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, Acts 3:19 “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, Acts 17:30 “but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance. Acts 26:20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. Romans 11:20-22 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The LORD will judge His people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:26-31 Revelation chapters 2-3, which includes the following passage and others like it: “Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. “And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. “Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. “I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works. She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” John 8:11 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” John 5:14 Then we have repentance in the Lost Son, in Luke 15: “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! ‘I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, “and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’ “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matthew 7:21-23 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! “For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.” Matthew 12:49-50 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 1 John 3:6 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. 1 John 3:24 While there certainly are more passages like these in Scripture, I believe they suffice to show what the article intends: that repentance commonly means repentance from sin in the New Testament. That this repentance, which is turning from sin and living in obedience to God, is necessarily a part of faith in Christ. Without it, we would not know if someone belonged to Christ or not. To deny this fact is not uncommon in certain church circles, such as among Baptists, some Nondenominational types, and certain Evangelicals. However, we cannot read the Bible, and we cannot read the New Testament, and miss that repentance is necessary, and basically what it entails. Recognizing this fact does not deny that our salvation comes from grace through faith, but rather the two truths are part of the intrinsic whole of faith, as they are a part of the whole teaching of Scripture. Remember, even Romans 8:1, which you cite, finishes with: “who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” It qualifies its prior statement about those who have no condemnation. I hope you can see the truth better now, and that you recognize the value and necessity of repentance. Take care.

@@holinessofthebride1935 every scripture you quoted besides romans is not for or to the body of christ revealed through Paul after his conversion in acts 9 that was all part of the kingdom Gospel for Israel before acts 9 their message was repent be water baptized remain obedient and endure until the end ! our message is trust the death burial and resurection apart from ourselves and we are justified and sealed with the spirit until redemption day ! 2 different messages 2 DIFERENT SETS OF requirements ! you do not rightly divide the truth heck you dont even divide ........

I do not see your point. I recommend going back to the New Testament and just reading from start to finish. There are no two kinds of salvation, one starting in the middle of Acts somewhere. There are no two basic meanings of repentance, one for the first part and one for the second. The meaning of repent is present in the Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Revelation. The fact that repentance comes with salvation is present in the Gospels, Acts, the Epistles, and Revelation. That is the only salvation preached, and it comes together with repentance and belief. That is why the Gospel call is - Repent and believe! Do no further twisting of Scripture trying to force antinomianism into it. The Christian obeys God.

Sure, except fornication is something which occurs before marriage. So that is a separation during the betrothal period, or due to discovered fornication on the wedding night.

Hello John, No I have not done any work on that topic. There are other permanence of marriage videos that do discuss it though.

You're welcome. It's my pleasure, and I care very much about restoring marriage in the Church. Bless you, sister.

If you are coming from the perspective of the Judaizers, which it sounds like, you are outside of the Church, and outside of biblical and historical Christianity. So I honestly do not think you have anything to offer biblically if that is the case. You reject the Bible. That heresy was refuted in the 1st century, and in the pages of the New Testament itself, by the early Church. It excommunicated people like that, and shunned them. The New Covenant is not like the Old. It has differences in teachings. Some teachings are new, others are not. Paul is passing along a tradition of the apostles, as he does elsewhere (2 Thessalonians 2:15), and not anything from Numbers 5, which is way far afield of the chapter. He and other apostles have some harsh words to say about rabbinic tradition in general, as well as about seeking to continue in the law of Moses. Paul tells us what he speaks of in the beginning of his discussion, and not at the end. He teaches women to cover their heads, using the normal word for to cover, and the normal word for head. He teaches men to be uncovered. The natural way to read this is a covering that you put on your head or remove, and this is confirmed by the fact that being covered or uncovered is for prayer and prophecy, meaning unique times, when you would choose to be covered or uncovered. That is also the overwhelming view of the early Church, most of whom understood Koine Greek better than you or I do. Paul makes a comparison of the covering to nature towards the end of his discussion. It would not be normal to define what he means at the end. We see the language of comparison, as he writes, “Does not even nature itself teach . . .” Paul is comparing the covering for prayer to the covering of nature, to show that God even reveals this headship reality in his creation. That’s surely in part why he uses a totally different Greek word to mean covering than he had used earlier. I always study and pray regarding the teachings I give. I also heed the words of others, for wisdom they offer, while also seeking to be discerning. However, if as your comments suggest you are among the Judaizers, you need to repent of this heresy and accept the New Covenant as brought by Christ, and taught in the New Testament. The Church is the New Covenant Israel, and it is not the same as the Old in all things.

Covenant was made by blood not by a government contract! Jesus said leave and cleave and become one flesh union! If we want too be biblical!

That is the truth. That's a big reason for the feminism which we see all over the churches as well. We need pastors who will speak the truth without compromise, and who will lead their flock to be faithful.

Hi, There are two links beneath the video, one leading to the text and including the references, and another leading to a website which has those references and more. I think that is what you are looking for.

If someone is in a marriage which is adulterous, they need to end it. They must not continue in sin. The early Church allowed the couple to remain married, but simply sleep apart, and that became a common way of doing things in the West. However, considering that the marriage itself is a sinful union, and that living together is at the minimum very tempting, and also sends the wrong message, separating and divorcing would be the best option. If there were children from this union, then of course you remain close enough to care for the children as father and mother. God does not hate this, because it ends a sinful union, and not a true marriage. Nor does God hate the ending of a same-sex “marriage,” or the ending of the marriage of a small child. Those are not marriages in the true sense of the word.

Thank you for your comments, brother. It is a hard teaching, but Christ gives us the power to obey.

Yes, something new has come into existence with the New Covenant. I believe this respect for the lifelong nature of marriage reflects not only the new emphasis on forgiveness, but also the continual nature of the bond between Christ and His Church. The permanent nature of marriage, being until death, pictures the permanent nature of our union with Christ. I believe it also reflects the new revelation of the Trinity, so that with the Trinity now fully revealed, marriage can fully picture its relationships. As far as actual civil law in concerned, I do not see an ending of the death penalty for crimes of immorality. However, we should choose to forgive our spouse's adultery.

Yes, you absolutely can. Forgiveness is a necessity in the New Covenant.

People knew that the earth was a sphere many centuries before the Jesuits came along. I'm glad you appreciate my explanation of tongues in this chapter. 1 Corinthians 14 is misused all the time by Charismatics.

Praise God. Thank you for standing with His word.

Hello, I am the one teaching marriage permanence in that video and others. This is my channel. I'm very happy to hear that you respect that marriage is for life. You can reach me at my e-mail: kodeshkallah@yahoo.com, which is also on the channel description. I have a page about marriage at my website here: www.holinessofthebride.com/marriage-of-the-lamb

Nothing in either the context or the original language lends support to divorce and remarriage. It only strengthens that God does not permit those things.

The Bible tells us what to do, certainly, and not someone else. It is the Bible which teaches we may not depart from our spouse, and that what God has joined together, man may not put asunder. We do not look for excuses to ignore that, and to divorce. There is nothing about the sin of adultery which demands divorce, and certainly not remarriage, which is adultery according to the Bible. It is a sin like any other, which can be forgiven. The vast majority of marriages in the past lasted for life in Christian culture, even though adultery was not unheard of. It is true there is some amount of health risk if your spouse is committing adultery in a promiscuous way, but one can avoid this risk without actually divorcing. One can also avoid it without moving out to live elsewhere. So this is not a serious objection to remaining married. Very much gets labeled abuse in our culture which is not. It is hard to take what many people label abuse very seriously, since most of the time it is just some wrong, and it is not something dangerous. Other times, it is not a wrong at all. However, even in the case of serious and dangerous physical abuse, divorce is unnecessary, since merely physically separating takes care of the danger. Nor does it permit remarriage, since one can avoid danger without marrying someone else, and committing adultery. The Bible never teaches one can either divorce or remarry for abuse, nor does it ever come close. It teaches that marriage is for life, and is ended by death. When you marry, you need to know that is the person you will grow old with. You will live your life with that person, raise children together, and then one of you will pass away, and you will be widowed and single. That is marriage, by its very nature. It is defined and created by God, and not by our personality or our circumstances. We need to believe that, and remain with our spouse. Even in cases of severe danger, we can easily separate, without divorce. Clearly this is possible, when we know as a fact most people did it in the past. No excuses. The Church needs to repent of its divorce and remarriage, and end its continual false teachings. It has greatly bloodied the Church and all society through its unfaithfulness. We must be faithful to our marriage covenant, as we are to the New Covenant in Christ.

Thank you for your comment.

The Bible calls on us to judge, and to make a right judgment. The Bible also plainly judges sin and false teachers many times over. As long as the churches allow the violence of divorce, and the adultery of remarriage, and as long as they continue in that year after year, I will also call them out on this wickedness. I will call out people who are living in sin year after year. They do not stop, and I will not stop in what I preach either. I don’t have to be without sin to say what the Bible says: that man may not put marriage asunder, and that to divorce and remarry is adultery. That is what the Bible teaches. No one is without sin, but we all are called to speak the truth, and to rebuke sin. I am not living in sin, nor in sexual sin. I have only been married once, and I will never have another wife, excepting the tragedy that my wife were to die. Are you without sin? Aren’t you judging me? Uh-oh, by your odd standards you then have to shut your mouth. So I guess goodbye.

Yes. I read it every Sabbath as a blessing to my wife, which is a part of Jewish tradition. It's a great passage about a godly homemaker. I absolutely love it. If your intention is to claim that this homemaker is actually a career woman, I have a video and article titled "Proverbs 31 Woman and her Latchkey Kids." It addresses and refutes this common claim. God bless.

Hello, Thank you for your questions. I believe this video series and others I have made deal specifically with that and similar questions regarding divorce. Even in the case of adultery, and ongoing adultery, the marriage bond is not severed. That is because the clear teaching of the New Testament is that marriage is for life, and it is death which severs the marriage bond. To divorce and remarry is adultery according to Scripture, and to marry a divorced person is adultery. Even if a couple has separated, and in certain instances remarried, the bond is still there. It is joined by God and cannot be severed by man. There are some people who teach that the Mosaic prohibition on returning to a divorced and then remarried covenant spouse is still valid today, but I disagree. I see Jesus’ teaching as bringing us to new ground from the Old Covenant view, so a couple may come back together, even if one previously departed and remarried. I have met couples who reunited even after that situation, and I believe in the New Covenant that it is a blessing. However, those who teach you cannot return to your divorced and remarried spouse, would tell you that you need to remain single. I know it is a hard teaching. The disciples clearly knew it was a hard teaching when Jesus gave it. It requires sacrifice and self-control. However, God will give you the grace to live single if you have to do that. Then He can use you greatly as a single soldier for Christ. May you continue to be faithful to the Lord, and walk in His holiness. Bless you.

@@holinessofthebride1935 So, I’m curious if you have heard the perspectives put forth by this Messianic Rabbi, see: czcams.com/video/aVY7S2UOd1s/video.htmlsi=51YuntE81uYfwcl5 I’m also curious how you respond to the teachings of the Apostle Paul where he addressed these issues. I would like to hear your thoughts on these things and appreciate your time, brother. Thanks in advance!

@@JMercCCITLD Thanks. I don't really have time to listen to or reply to a video. If people desperately want to be able to divorce or remarry, they will see whatever they want to see in Scripture, no matter what a stretch it is. I have dealt with all of the New Testament teachings on marriage, from the Gospels and the Epistles, in my videos. If you'd like to ask about a specific passage from Paul, please explain. I will answer.

The Bible is not open to endless interpretations. It communicates God’s truth to us, and it does so in ways nearly any reader can understand. There might be individual questions that require much digging into, but its teachings are not a mystery. We know truth through Scripture, and the fact that some people refuse to accept what it teaches, and the fact it leaves certain areas open for our own applications, does not change that. God’s Word is truth. The Bible was not only written to Jews. Some of it was. Some of it was not. Many of the New Testament books are written to a mixed audience, and some of the Epistles were written to a heavily Gentile audience. There is no sign that Job was written uniquely to Jews either. Some of the prophets, while having a mission to Israel, also prophesied to the pagan nations. Jesus only said He came for the lost sheep of Israel during the travellings of His ministry. He also taught other things. At His resurrection, He taught to go and make disciples of “all nations.” He prophesied, just as Isaiah did, of the light given to Israel also going out to the Gentiles. The Holy Spirit, who is sent by Jesus, and who according to Jesus does not speak a word apart from Him, also taught in Scripture messages for the Gentile churches. In fact, now even books written specifically for Israel are applied to both Jew and Gentile in Messiah, with specific teachings, or at least general principles, being relevant for the church. Paul, speaking broadly of the history of Israel, told the church that these things happened for our admonition, and as examples for us. That is natural, both because there are universals there, and because the spiritual purpose of Israel is continuing in the Church. The fact that there is a cultural setting is not a problem in the Bible. It simply is how God communicated with people. There may be unique applications of that day, and uniquely for that people, but there are also universal moral norms, and continued application of the basic principles. The Judaic setting, and ancient near eastern setting does not change that. We understand Scripture despite any unique cultural details. God can communicate truth that man can apprehend, and He can do so through situations which are not uniquely our own. There are not “45,000 flavors” of Christianity. When we look at the Bible we can discern true and false, and we can recognize many of those flavors are not from Scripture at all. We actually see unity on a great number of doctrines among churches which respect Holy Scripture as the word of the living God, and our only inerrant authority in all things. There are also areas in which God leaves us to decide smaller matters, and there is nothing wrong with that. The same is true when you adhere to any other lesser source of truth. Matters of liturgy which are dogmatic are very few. Much of worship in the New Covenant is not set in stone. It simply needs to contain a few elements which God teaches. There are similarly matters of application of ethics which Scripture never attempts to list, since it does not comprehensively describe all the situations we may find in life. In those instances, we do our best to apply those ethics with what we DO know, with the ethical laws or general principles already there. We simply use our best discernment. Scripture teaches in no uncertain terms our fallen nature, and our need for faith in Christ to have peace with God. It warns of earthly suffering and hellfire for those who are unbelieving, or who continue in sin. It gives us forms of unity with Christ, through our worship, Communion, Baptism, and other experiences. It gives us a consistent and universal set of moral norms which are good for us and for society. No amount of failure or confusion by man changes that. God is true. You can trust in His Word. If you have not already, you must come to know peace with God in Christ. He will forgive you and bring you into His family if you humble yourself and come to Him in repentance.
