Great explanation. I always like to see that I remember so I don't keep sinning and I remember what offended God. But God on the other hand forgets completely: Mic 7:19, Heb 8:12 and Heb 10:17 are the verses that come to my mind. Thanks for taking the time to study, record and share these.
Love that example
Thank you
Every day!! Amen
Does that include divorce (my ex wife was unfaithful)? I never had kids with her (she changed her mind and didn't want any). I still wish and hope to have a family one day--- yet there is a large contingent of Christians who believe that all remarriage is permanent adultery, despite the mat 19:9 exception clause.
I discovered that passage back when I chose to divorce. I was sort of an asterisk Christian back then. Fast forward to now, I've become deeply serious about it. Reading the bible cover to cover, reading books by christian authors, praying, watching tons of Christian youtube content, going to church, playing in a praise band.
And now I find out this issue is a "gotcha." Too bad buddy, you have to remain celibate or go to hell, is what I'm being told by some.
No. You are just fine brother. As long as you repent and believe, you are redeemed. I don't recall the verse, but John MacArthur has an awesome video about what you are questioning. Divorce is forgivable and you can date, marry again, or just stay single. Christ does not hold divorce against you. Like the Bible says, just repent and believe.
Costi Hinn or some other preacher will be able to better explain it, but I just wanted to tell you that you are ok.
A lot of Christians also believe that suicide is unforgivable. A lot of Christians believe you can name and claim every worldly blessing that you want. A lot of Christians believe that God helps those who help themselves. Or that depression is sinful. Or that most homeless people don't deserve kindness because they're drug addicts, they ended up on the street by being lazy. Or that you have to wear nice clothes and comb your hair and be quiet in church, but afterward you can resume your life as if church never happened. And the majority of people who call themselves Christian believe that they're saved just by being a decent person and helping their fellow man.
Just keep it in mind, that there are a lot of "cultural and mainstream Christians" who don't trust in Jesus Christ for their salvation.
I think this is part of the reason so many Christians love to put heavy yokes on other people's necks, but will not lift a finger to help them. Because if someone else is a sinner and they're living outside God's will, it makes them feel like a better person by comparison. It "assures them of their salvation". Its a lot like the story of the Pharisee and the tax collector.
If your wife broke the marriage covenant, whether she was unfaithful to you or left you as a nonbeliever, you are released from your obligation to it as well.
Paul said this about unbelieving spouses.
"But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace."
1 Corinthians 7:15
The words that stick out to me are "The brother or sister is not bound." I believe this also applies to the other exception Jesus made in Matthew 19.
If God prohibited you from ever marrying again after someone abandons you, or breaks the covenant with you, that would be bondage. It would be cruel bondage, in fact. You would be held hostage by what the guilty party did to you for the rest of your life.
But when the covenant has been broken, the believer is no longer bound to it. He or she is set free from the marriage that their spouse destroyed. When one party violates the terms of a contract, the contract becomes null and void and the other party is no longer bound by it.
In this case, as it always is with Jesus, mercy triumphs over judgment. The yoke is lifted, the prisoners are released... The Spirit of the Lord has given you freedom. ❤

I am concerned because I accepted a slice of melon that my sister said was soul food and my sister had reptilian eyes. Next many christians said I sold my soul to the devil and am headed for hell. I find this hard to get over and annoyed with my sister even though she only remembers offering the slice of melon.
"Thank you for punishing Jesus instead of punishing me for those sins."" ...Not a good way to say it, friend. That gives a very strange thought. You would not say, for example, "Mom and Dad, thank you for punishing my brother John instead of me. Thats just not a Christian sentiment....maybe cut that from your talk (the rest is good). Christ redeemed us of our Sins but the punishment for our sins is still experienced temporally, albeit lessened, and entirely spiritually forgiven.
The pastor spoke of substitionary atonement, which is orthodox Christian belief. Please read Bible verse Isaiah 53:10.
Jesus is God. God didn’t “punish” Jesus for our sin. God saved us from our sin by his precious blood shed on the cross. The dome it was empty. Jesus resurrected from both His body and His spirit.
