Amen, Amen, Amen thank you for sharing this my brother. We shared your video on our channel also. We love working with you to spread inspirational video that will draw mankind closer to God.
Ive been a member of the church of Christ since 1988 and Im surprised that this topic is still being discussed in 2023. Ive read many of the comments, some of which are long and elaborate, some short, some incoherent, and some steeped in emotion. The issue is very simple. Is adultery, fornication divorce and/or remarriage unpardonable sins? No, neither of them are. Since they are not, God can forgive one or both parties if confession is given and forgiveness is requested. God can forgive sin while simultaneously not asking for retribution. Thus one or both parties can get married again no matter the reason for the divorce. This position is in no wise contrary or in conflict with any scriptural teachings on this matter.
AMEN, AMEN, AND AMEN! Bro. Washington. Awesome teaching, I learned so much. Thank you! I read some the comments. I wish the person, who said that you were wrong would challenge you to a debate on this topic. My goodness, if you open the Bible, and followed along with you, you made it so simple. Bless you Bro. Washington.
The churches are not teaching this anymore and it’s causing a huge problem among our young people because they don’t know what the Bible teaches about marriage they only know what the world teaches 😢. It’s a breakdown in our leadership!
If a man is Bound he is not Free , If a man if Free he is not Bound , to make it to be something else is not genuine. Paul says in 1 Cor. 7:12 ......But to the Rest SPEAK I, NOT THE LORD, that means that Paul covers specific things that Jesus didn't necessarily cover. In 1 Cor. 14:37, Paul writes that if any one considers himself Spiritual or a Prophet, to acknowledge that his writings are THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD. We say that Jesus is in the Old Testament, however you cannot read any passage in the 39 Books that says JESUS CHRIST at all, however we can deduce and understand through Prophecy that Jesus is All over the Old Testament.
The divorce and remarriage for adultery doctrine is based solely on the supposed guilt of the wife in Matthew 5:32 and 19:9. However, the wife, in the above scriptures, is clearly not guilty of fornication because the Jews (that Jesus was speaking to) were still living under the law, and if fornication was discovered, there was a moral obligation to report the offender according to Deuteronomy 22:13-24. The wife, who would have been found guilty of fornication, was subsequently stoned to death, according to the law, which had still governed the Jews up until Christ's death on the cross. The same for a woman caught in adultery, according to Leviticus 20:10. How could a wife, guilty of fornication, or adultery, under the law of Moses, be given a writing of divorcement and be caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her, that is divorced? Jesus is clear, in these examples, that the wife is not guilty of fornication, but is still caused to commit adultery if she marries another man now that she is divorced. This is the only way that Matthew 5:31-32, and Matthew 19:9 keep harmony with Romans 7:2-3, and 1 Corinthians 7:39. Unlike the synoptic gospels of Mark and Luke, which were written to evangelize the Gentiles, Matthew was written to the Jews, and has of 24 characteristics that identify it as intended for the house of Israel. The ancient Jews called the betrothed (engaged) "husband" and "wife" according to Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Matthew 1:18-25, and Luke 2:5-7. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage) was never for fornication or adultery. Allowing those guilty of fornication and adultery to remain living and become a prospect for remarriage was against the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22:13-24 and Leviticus 20:10, which commanded that those who were found guilty of fornication and adultery be put away from Israel, and stoned to death. The law of Moses was not given to the world, only to the Jews. From the exodus, to Christ's death on the cross, the law of Moses governed the Jewish people. Christ's death on the cross caused the Jews to become dead to the law of Moses, so they could be joined to Christ under a New Covenant. This is what Jesus's fulfillment of the law of Moses, including Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage), means. Paul gave several warnings to Christian believers against keeping the ordinances of law of Moses as justification, over following Christ and his commands under the New Covenant with Christ. Keeping the ordinances of the law is no longer possible, for Israel, and that is why Christ prophesied that the temple would be destroyed. These scriptures make it clear that if you choose the law over Christ, that you must keep the whole law: Romans 7:4, Galatians 3:1-9, Galatians 3:10-29, Galatians 4:1-7, Galatians 4:21-31, and Galatians 5:1-15. Being unequally yoked to unbelievers is not a cause for divorce, once two become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, according to 1 Corinthians 7:12-14. Many one-flesh covenant marriages between unbelievers are recognized by God in the scriptures, most notably the marriage covenants between Herodias and King Herod's brother Philip, Potiphar and his wife, Ahab and Jezebel, and Ruth to her deceased husband Mahlon by Boaz when he took her to be his wife. Some are teaching that 1 Corinthians 7:15 implies that those who are abandoned, by an unbelieving spouse, are "no longer bound" in a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The reason this is in conflict is due to the way some translations word it, which gives it an entirely different meaning, and context. 1 Corinthians 7:15, says, "But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace." As you can see, the actual scripture says "not enslaved" which means that the husband or wife is not enslaved to sin with the unbelieving spouse, and is free to worship Christ in peace. Subsequent translations have changed the words to imply that they nullify the marriage covenant, which is not at all the case. The issue that this creates is with 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, which says, "10To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife." As you can see, those who claim 1 Corinthians 7:15 shows the Apostle Paul giving those who are abandoned permission to remarry, do not understand the command that Christ gives is to an abandoned husband, in 1 Corinthians 7:11, and that he "must not divorce" his wife, and his wife is commanded to "remain unmarried or else be reconciled" to her husband. The theory that 1 Corinthians 7:15 nullifies two as being one-flesh, due to one's unbelief, puts the Apostle Paul directly at odds with Christ, and himself, by implying that Paul has issued an opposing command to verses 10-14 in verse 15. Some also teach that 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 is referring to both divorced men and virgin women, and not exclusively to men and women (virgins) who have never been married. This has been falsely taught for some time in churches as referring to anyone who is not currently in a marriage, which, for them, also includes those who are divorced. This is a very false assumption, and puts these verses in a different context, that is at odds with both the teachings of Christ and the apostle Paul. We see Paul refer to virgins, which signifies the unmarried who have never before been wed, which is the proper context here. We see Paul saying clearly that it is good for virgins, which is also speaking to never before wed men here, "that it is good for a man so to be." He goes on to say, "Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife." Who is he referring to here? Men who, like himself, have never married. The word "bound", in these verses, is a clear reference to betrothal (engagement) and not to a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The ancient Jews were considered bound as husband and wife during the betrothal (espousal/engagement) before becoming one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, through consummation. This is affirmed by the context of the term "bound" seen in Numbers 30:14-16. The Jewish couples in ancient Israel, who were betrothed (engaged) were also bound together until death, either by execution for fornication, or by other causes. Then Paul says, "But and if thou marry, thou has not sinned", which is who? The men who had never married in the congregation at Corinth. So he begins with verses 25-26 speaking exclusively to men that have never married. Paul then says, "and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned", which is speaking directly in regard to virgin women who have never been married, within the congregation, not divorced women. Notice that verse 34 says, "There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband." Paul speaks plainly when he says "there is a difference between a wife and a virgin." Paul goes on to say, "But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry." This is speaking of a virgin who has become of age to bear children when it says, "let them marry." This is a clear command, to a single man, who has taken a virgin to be his wife. Paul then says, "Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well." This is referring again to the single man who decides it is better not to marry, but to stay betrothed (engaged), under the present distress, by saying that he "hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin." Paul then says, "So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better", which again means single men, in the congregation, who have betrothed a wife, do well if they marry, and those who choose not to marry their virgin brides do better, under the current climate. For more proper context of the word "bound", let's look further down in this chapter to verse 39, which says, "39The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:39). For so long, these scriptures, between verses 25-38, have been twisted and used to enable divorce and remarriage, by wayward churches and teachers, and have caused many to stumble and to be trapped in unscriptural unions. The use of the woman at the well, in regard to marriage, falsely implies that Christ was endorsing remarriage after a divorce. This teaching is in defiance of Matthew 22:23-28, which shows a woman who had been widowed seven times, and entered into each subsequent marriage without any scriptural conflicts with God's law of marriage (one-flesh covenant) seen in Genesis 2:23-24. Mark 10:1-12 and Matthew 19:1-12 both record Christ's teaching that day beyond the Jordan. There is no mention of the words "fornication", "writing of divorcement", or "divorced" in Mark's Gospel because Mark was not written to the Jews (as Matthew's Gospel was), but to evangelize the Romans, and likewise Luke to evangelize the Greeks, who had no knowledge of the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22 or Deuteronomy 24. All of these facts draw a clear understanding that remarriage after a divorce, under the New Covenant with Christ, is a scripturally false and baseless teaching. Please use wisdom when living in any situation against what the scriptures command.
Good afternoon just want to say it surely is hard to meet a Christian Church of Christ man that's sad 🤣 yes I mean all the wrong people so I'm just going to wait until God send the right one pray for me 🙏 too many issues
The question is Brother Billy, What is meant by putting away when God's Laws for Israel were given in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. (Stoning to death!) That's God's law for the cause of adultery from the beginning. When two Israelites were found in an act of fornication and the woman was not betrothed to another man they simply had to get married and as long as they both lived, the husband could not put her away (stoning). However, from that point, if either of them were caught in the act of adultery, both participants were brought out and stoned to death! So then PUTTING AWAY is plainly defined as stoning! Though Moses plainly understood that, He caved in to the pressures of the men of Israel, to provide them a way to be loosed from a wife they no longer wanted, for causes other than fornication. Thus, when Moses realised they were relentless in their intent, He changed God's meaning of putting away (stoning) and came up with his own meaning of putting away to mean putting her out of thy house via (bill of divorcement). 😠 That gave rise for thousands of divorces to be granted for every cause in Israel, whereby they thought was valid via Moses's discourse by decree...When the question was asked of Jesus, Shall a man put away his wife for every cause, Jesus knew the meaning of putting away (stoning!) When his answer did not satisfy them, they asked "Why then did Moses command to give her a bill of divorcement and put her away? He answered, "For the hardness of thine heart Moses suffered you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it was not so." There was no question as to what they did when one was caught in the act of adultery (having another's spouse) the guilty parties were simply stoned to remove the sin out of Israel... Divorce is man made, and was not written nor endorsed in God's Holy Writ... Jesus fulfilled the Law of God by reminding them of what's written in the Law of God. So then, What is sanctioned for the people of God in the place of stoning? Thanks be to God for forgiveness...😂
Amen! We're not under the law, but Grace and truth! Thank the Lord! If we were under the law, you me, and everybody would be dead. Thank you, Sherian, don't know you, but you're absolutely right!
Jesus spoke on marriage divorce and remarriage and people just don't want to accept what Jesus said, especially if they were the guilty who committed the adultery. David the king committed adultery, with Bathsheba, he got her pregnant, but God was not pleased than the baby was born stillborn dead,then the king had her husband Uriah the hittite murdered in battle along with some other soldiers, then after Uriah's death King David married Uriah's former wife Bathsheba. With all this evil that David did y'all way God still didn't kill King David, but I am supposing there may have been times that David wish that he was dead because he had one son Amnon who raped his sister Tamar then the other boy Absalom killed that son Amnon and try to kill his father then Davids generals killed that son Absalom. So we see that Yahweh God call amnon and Absalom to be killed, but he was very merciful with David and keep in mind all of these evils that were just spoken of happened after David committed adultery which led to a stillborn death and deceit and murder. Suffice it to say that you don't want to try to make it to heaven through ADULTERY. I truly believe that King David the beloved is in heaven or the paradise now even though he committed adultery and murder. But I am not advising you to try to get in heaven after committing adultery deceit and murder like King David did.
Fornication is a an umbrella term for all the immoral sex acts. Adultery, sex between 2 Married persons, or sex between 2 unmarried persons, homosexuality and beastiality are all under that umbrella term Fornication. 1.Cor 5, 6:6:9-12
The scripture in Romans 7 was speaking to those who follow the LAW. Secondly, Paul taught in I Corinthians 7 that a marriage can be dissolved if one person is a non-believer. The third reason can be due to fornication. In Matthew 19, Jesus was responding to a question that was asked by the Pharisees so he was speaking directly to Deuteronomy 24. EVEN if all three occurred, ADULTERY is an ACT , John 8:3, not a STATE so a person can be forgiven for it like any other act of sin.
The Bible states it not the churches. Go read it for yourself and let me know what it says. Remarriage after divorce period according to scriptures is something to look at.
Billy Washington doctrine on M.D. R. Is wrong. I would be more than willing to study with him on this subject as a brother in Christ. Please see the you tube video. Wilsonrdcoc...Henry Stevenson
@@henrystevensoniii5482 - If you have been in the CoC for more than 5 years, you know who Billy is and you know where he is. Why you would comment on him being wrong on the Internet instead of contacting him directly and challenging him to a debate on the topic tells me "you aint serious nor are you ready".
Amen, Amen, Amen thank you for sharing this my brother. We shared your video on our channel also. We love working with you to spread inspirational video that will draw mankind closer to God.

Where is the rest of the marriage sermons? Our younger generation needs to be taught. Proud member of the Church of Christ
everyone needs this.....regardless of age....
Excellent Sermon!! Young folk definitely need to heed what Bro Washington is talkin about!! Especially young singles
Thank You Jesus for this Sermon, and You God for giving me Your Wisdom. bless Bro Washington for speaking Your Word in TRUTH.
Ive been a member of the church of Christ since 1988 and Im surprised that this topic is still being discussed in 2023. Ive read many of the comments, some of which are long and elaborate, some short, some incoherent, and some steeped in emotion. The issue is very simple. Is adultery, fornication divorce and/or remarriage unpardonable sins? No, neither of them are. Since they are not, God can forgive one or both parties if confession is given and forgiveness is requested. God can forgive sin while simultaneously not asking for retribution.

They only said he was wrong because they just found out by scripture that they are living contrary to the word of God
You are truly the man, Humble. Thank you for all of your work...
The churches are not teaching this anymore and it’s causing a huge problem among our young people because they don’t know what the Bible teaches about marriage they only know what the world teaches 😢. It’s a breakdown in our leadership!
GREAT MAN OF GOD
LOVE THIS.
Thank you Jesus!!! And thank you my brother
Very helpful to me and my situation
I CANT. When you know the Truth hearing anything other will bother and vex your spirit.
If a man is Bound he is not Free , If a man if Free he is not Bound , to make it to be something else is not genuine.

I agree with you BUT Christ is the end of the law(Moses law)and we’re living in the Christian age.Christ nailed Moses law to His cross.It’s gone.👍🏾
Amen! We're not under the law, but Grace and truth! Thank the Lord! If we were under the law, you me, and everybody would be dead. Thank you, Sherian, don't know you, but you're absolutely right!
The recording is terrible! Is there a way of reposting with better audio?
This is the audio from a very old tape recorded by their church, so unfortunately no.
Jesus spoke on marriage divorce and remarriage and people just don't want to accept what Jesus said, especially if they were the guilty who committed the adultery. David the king committed adultery, with Bathsheba, he got her pregnant, but God was not pleased than the baby was born stillborn dead,then the king had her husband Uriah the hittite murdered in battle along with some other soldiers, then after Uriah's death King David married Uriah's former wife Bathsheba. With all this evil that David did y'all way God still didn't kill King David, but I am supposing there may have been times that David wish that he was dead because he had one son Amnon who raped his sister Tamar then the other boy Absalom killed that son Amnon and try to kill his father then Davids generals killed that son Absalom. So we see that Yahweh God call amnon and Absalom to be killed, but he was very merciful with David and keep in mind all of these evils that were just spoken of happened after David committed adultery which led to a stillborn death and deceit and murder. Suffice it to say that you don't want to try to make it to heaven through ADULTERY. I truly believe that King David the beloved is in heaven or the paradise now even though he committed adultery and murder. But I am not advising you to try to get in heaven after committing adultery deceit and murder like King David did.
Does God forgive your sins of adultery 20 -30 years before you became a Christian?
Hi just know that God do forgive just try not to keep doing wrong but he forgives and we supposed to do the same thing forgive one another
If you married how can it be fornication it's aldultery
Fornication is a an umbrella term for all the immoral sex acts. Adultery, sex between 2 Married persons, or sex between 2 unmarried persons, homosexuality and beastiality are all under that umbrella term Fornication. 1.Cor 5, 6:6:9-12
A married person having sex with someone other than the spouse is considered formication....
Adult is between married people but fornication covers all who in sexual sin, married or not 🙂
Amen
This I say to you their is no such thing as divorce period.
Roman 7:2 is clear into death do us apart period. It's hard to accept it I know
The scripture in Romans 7 was speaking to those who follow the LAW. Secondly, Paul taught in I Corinthians 7 that a marriage can be dissolved if one person is a non-believer. The third reason can be due to fornication. In Matthew 19, Jesus was responding to a question that was asked by the Pharisees so he was speaking directly to Deuteronomy 24. EVEN if all three occurred, ADULTERY is an ACT , John 8:3, not a STATE so a person can be forgiven for it like any other act of sin.
Some "Chuches of Christ" claim that if someone is divorced because they committed fornication, then they may never remarry.
The Bible states it not the churches. Go read it for yourself and let me know what it says. Remarriage after divorce period according to scriptures is something to look at.

@@henrystevensoniii5482 - If you have been in the CoC for more than 5 years, you know who Billy is and you know where he is. Why you would comment on him being wrong on the Internet instead of contacting him directly and challenging him to a debate on the topic tells me "you aint serious nor are you ready".
@@henrystevensoniii5482 he will debate you, give him a call.
