Get ready for a rant done in the spirit of humility and love. ( I originally left this comment on Part 4 but think it needs to be on this part also).
I had held out hope that this ministry would get this subject right but, like most all other ministries, it has failed on this subject and is now accountable for leading people down the ‘shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven’ road by promoting adulterous unions. Not only that, but they are promoting the destruction of children. In Malachi 2:14-16, Yah specifically answers why he hates divorce and he ultimately says that it’s because He seeks Godly offspring. Do you hear what Yah is saying? So what is it about divorce that lends to ungodly children? THIS IS A HUGE QUESTION THAT MUST BE ANSWERED! If you teach by lesson, example or persuasion, that divorce & remarriage is allowed when 1st spouses are still living, it may be better that a millstone is hung around your neck and you are thrown into the sea than to promote something that Yah HATES & says will lead to ungodly offspring!
WHY ARE THESE VERSES NOT TAUGHT & CONSIDERED??
Instead, this and other ministries, call our earthly example of salvation, (Yah’s divine institution of marriage), a CONTRACT when Yah specifically calls it a COVENANT (Mal. 2:14) One is circumstantial and the other is permanent. Misuse of these important words along with statements found in this teaching like “God INTENDS for marriages to last a lifetime”, “divorce is a last resort”, “Yeshua says basically that marriage is INTENDED to be a life-long commitments", - are dangerous statements and equivalent to calling Yah and Yeshua liars!
Understand this simple truth -> YAH CANNOT LIE. If 2 people, who have never been married before, PROMISE the ‘until death’ VOWS that constitute a marriage COVENANT, then Yah witnesses that and could NEVER EVER stand witness to the same vow down the road to another person while the ‘TIL DEATH covenant spouse is still alive. IT’S simply IMPOSSIBLE…unless you believe Yah can lie. If you believe that, then you can believe he is a promise breaker too.
Read Gal 3:14-17! These verses speak of Yeshua redeeming us for the sake of a promise! V14 tells us that even a duly established covenant between humans cannot be added to or undone and how that human covenant is an example of the promise spoken to Abraham of Yeshua and how the law which came 430 yrs later (v17) does not change Yah’s covenant or promise. These verses stand as witness against false remarriage.
Yah’s people MUST understand the difference between a contract & a covenant. To say a marriage covenant can end for anything other than death is to teach against the Galatians example and ultimately suggest that Yah would pretend that a previous vow was never said (making him a liar). This is how children become ungodly; they follow in the end-time 2nd Timothy 3 examples that they see allowed and the teaching of a god that doesn’t keep his word nor expect it from his people. This is the example we give them when we allow treachery.
There are so many clear verses concerning divorce and remarriage and only a couple questionable ones. These questionable verses (like Deut 24) need to be held up to the light of the multiple clear verses that say divorce is adultery. Instead, people hang on to the belief that Yah is somehow ok with unforgiveness, treachery, adultery, unfaithfulness, unkindness, abandonment, but only as long as it pertains to divorce; then it’s ok. I beg you to acknowledge how Yah & Yeshua both removed themselves from Moses’ statement in Deut 24! Yah says in Jer 3:1 “THEY say, …BUT I SAY return again to me”- “RETURN” (v 12) - “Return for I am MARRIED to you”- “RETURN” (v22) Isaiah 50:1 “Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce…?” In Matt 19, Yeshua gave a complete answer to the Pharisees who were trying to trip him up but they continued by asking why then did MOSES command…and Yeshua said, (v8) MOSES PERMITTED you to divorce your wives, BUT SINCE THE BEGINNING IT IS NOT THIS WAY”. Yah & Yeshua said it was MOSES who allowed this, but that it was not their way. Until the past 70-100yrs this & the other clear verses have been easy to understand, but with many new mistranslations & the evil of the end times, the sin of divorce is rampant and itchy ears need to hear that it is ok. Now they take Yeshua’s ‘except it be for fornication’ statement and massacre it to mean He allows sin for sin. Yah forbid!
You see, to believe this, you have to believe that Yah & Yeshua would ultimately be saying that as long as there is sin (adultery) it’s ok to sin (divorce & abandon your family). IF you sin, THEN you can get out of your marriage. How dumb do you think Yah is that he would put this kind of allowance on a covenant??? Any unhappy spouse would only have to sin against their marriage themselves OR maneuver their spouse to cheat on them because THEN they qualify for the GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD and can divorce their unfaithful spouse. LUDICROUS to believe that the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob would EVER give sin as an allowance for promise breaking or put man’s carnal nature in charge of it. It scares me to think how many believing people think Yah would allow that.
These are the last days. Run from evil and from anyone who tells you that Yah allows it. Study this subject like your eternity & that of your children depends on it. It is not hard to see the beauty of the marriage covenant and that beauty is in its permanency. Many clear verses support that and, in the mindset of a faithful Elohim, it is possible to rectify any apparent discrepancy.
I love this ministry and have been a monthly financial supporter for many years, but I warn you to ask, seek & knock when it comes to their teaching on this especially as it is not exhaustive and has left out key scriptures & scriptural examples. That is dangerous and can lead many astray. I wish they had never touched this subject and I will pray that they will come to Yah’s truth about this and remove it.
Are you in a covenant marriage and considering divorce? For the sake of truth and your children’s eternity, don’t do it! Let the perfect fruits of the Ruach guide you to strengthen your marriage.
Are you divorced from a covenant marriage? Don’t seek another spouse for this will cause you to be in adultery. Reconcile or remain single.
Consider the children who are watching. They cannot trust a treacherous covenant-breaking Elohim and that is what divorce allowance teaches them.
I agree with you and I didn´t realize what you say about how ungodly children are reared; it´s by example. That is so true!
Those with the false doctrine on remarriage are saying essentially that Jesus' literal words are advisory and not authoritative, but that Moses' divorce allowance is what should be taken literally instead. However, they don´t want to follow the law of Moses where it says to stone people who've been sexaully inmoral. They want those divorces and annulled marriages over Jesus' words!
Except Jesus explicitly states you can divorce but only due to sexual immorality? This was another teaching showing the true spiritual meaning of the commandment, not just one being able to throw away his wife for whatever shallow reason.
@ Sony L. I totally agree with what you have said from the beginning to the end. YAH blesses you and yours.
But please I have some questions: 1. What is a covenanted marriage ?? It is church wedding or state wedding?? Please let have biblical answers.
2. If a man has not paid dowry on a woman but had state marriage (registry) with her, and have parted from the lady to marry another woman having children with her, please in this case what can the lady do?? Even the lady has well had gotten married to another man with children too. Please Godly advise will be very appreciated
Thank you
@@kylefields177 Please read that chapter in full, breaking down each answer given by Yahusha. He answered their question, but they continued to try and trip him up. His statement concerning 'sexual immorality' (porneia G4202) refers to the Jewish/Israel engagement & marriage customs and it is included in the Matthew rendition because this book was written specifically to the Jews/Israel. Please study the root words given for fornication and adultery. Yahusha was very specific about the words he used. Adultery can only mean sexual sin inside of marriage. Fornication represents all sexual sins. When used together, in the same sentence, they have specific meaning. Fornication, when used with the word adultery, does not mean adultery. In those instances, it refers to pre-martial sexual sin. I hope this helps and makes sense. ❤
@@endisnearbeholdhecometh2589 All praises to Yahuah through his son, Yahusha Ha’Mashiach! Thank you for your kind words and questions.
With Yah’s help I will do my best to answer you in as few words as possible, but I implore you to seek the guidance of Yah’s Ruach to lead you in his truth and direction for your specific situation.
Malachi Ch 2 is rich in discussion and example of covenants and it is there that we find Yah calling marriage a covenant (v14) created by himself (v15), and his reasoning is also found in v.15 (that he might seek Godly offspring). The church and state and their traditions have nothing to do with the creation of a marriage. They may facilitate it and record it but the covenant is all Yah’s and is made in the promises/vows that are taken. When Adam accepted Eve and stated that acceptance as future reason for man to leave his parents and cleave to his wife, there was no witness but Yah alone (Gen 2:24). The joining of one flesh was instituted in creation and is therefore a covenant choice for all of mankind. There are many different wedding & ceremony traditions in the different cultures (including dowries, etc) but the promise/vows are what constitutes a covenant. This is why it is imperative that we teach our children not to vow or make promises in their life without fully understanding the justifications of that (Mt 5:33-38). The, “I promise…” sentence is casually used in all aspects in life, but the Word speaks against this (Eccl 5:2-6, Prov 10:19, Prov 20:25, James 5:12). The church or state cannot make you married. They can record it and make it ‘legal’ but the institution is Yah’s alone.
It is very difficult to give advice to your second question without knowing the full history of all involved. Because of that I will carefully state that if the couple in the first mentioned relationship had never been married before they married each other, then their marriage is a covenant only ended by death. Any subsequent marriage, although legal by the state/church, does not constitute a marriage in the eyes of Yah and therefore is an adulterous relationship. (Mt 19:9 & 5:31-32 directed to the Hebrew culture of the time -conversely, Luke 16:18, Mark 10:11-12, also Romans 7:1-3).
The death of John the Baptist brought about by Herod Antipas & Herodias is a great example of the proof of marriage being permanent even for the gentiles -(Matt 14:3-11, Mark 6:16-28, Luke 3:19,20) - John was killed because he rebuked their marriage because they both had been divorced.
A covenant study is also recommended.
I understand the weight of this topic and truly empathize with those who find themselves outside the will of the Almighty when it comes to their relationships. Those with children will have an even harder time dealing with these issues. Because this response is already lengthy, I can only encourage you that a parent who chooses to walk in repentance and truth is the greatest chance that children will have to walk that way themselves. Leave behind the ways of the Gentiles (Eph 4:17-19, 1 Pet 4:3) that (through their own ignorance or sin) have been taught to us from generations past and restore the ways of Yahuah, for adulterers will not inherit the Kingdom (1 Cor 6:9, Eph 5:5, Rev 21:8) Again, every situation is sensitive and different, and only Yah’s Ruach can best guide you in the steps you should take to turn from sin and walk in his ways.
(Numbers 6:24-26)
Thank you for taking the full Bible into careful consideration, not just a few of the scriptures, as some do and have brought great bondage and confusion to many. Todah Rabah!
I'm enjoying the serious I'm in total agreement with everything you said. I'm looking forward to your fourth and final video.YeHoVaH Shalom to you
Thank you so very much for this teaching!! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
They use to stone adulterers that time in the day. Sexual immmorality is outside of marraige. Marraige covenant is till death, stoning to death used to be the answer for adultry, not divorce.
God himself divorced Israel in marriage
Excatly. Except it be for fornication is the real word and that was for Jews. There is No divorce. Even if a wife depqrts remain single or reconcile with husband... Not ex husband only death breaks the covenent
@@grant2149 God divorced for ADULTERY (see Jeremiah 3 and Deut 24). A man can divorce for this reason (if she continues in her sin, or she married another Deut 24) and marry again a never before married woman or widow. This is supported by Deuteronomy 24, 1 Corinthians 7 and Matthew 19:9. A woman can not divorce. She can seperate from her husband and remain unmarried or reconcile (1 Corinthians 7 and Romans 7:2) if she remarried she Jesus said she would comitt adultery and the man that marries her will comitt adultery too (see all gospels and Romans 7:2).
@@maunder01 God said further down return onto me for i am your HUSBAND only death ends a covenent.
No remarriage.
I will agree to disagree with you.
@@grant2149 that is for the woman not the man. Jesus gave the man allowance to divorce and remarry this is supported by Matthew 19:9, Deut 24 and 1 Corinthians 7. Of course their is grace and Yah illustrated that in Jer 3.
I’m looking forward to listening to part 3. Thanks for your ministry.
this is part 3 already
I look forward for more eye opening teachings. Thanks much. Lennox Dawkins
In minute 15:40 and 20:27, you state that Jesus said divorces are only allowed in cases of adultery. If people who committed adultery faced the death penalty, how could they be divorced at all, let alone be remarried?
I just want to say that I'm soooo happy your doing this series! I was hoping you would do this since you guys are amazing at explaining the bible. I married very young with a narcissistic abuser. I met him at age 15 and he was 29. What I now know to pretty much be a podophile! He sexually abused me, beat me up and I was even hospitalized a few times. I finally go the courage to leave him when my son was born because i knew if I'd stay my son or I would end up dead. I really want to know if my first husband this monster abuser - does God truly consider this person my husband ? I got remarried a few years later whom I consider my real husband he was good to me, we both gave our lives to Christ and married in a Christian church. Unfortunately we were in our early 20's and we ended splitting up as well. He later passed away at 36 years old. I'm 39 about to be 40 years old this year and I don't date or put myself out there because of the uncertainty of whether it's ok to re-marry again. I dont want to disappoint God but I really would like to find a Christian husband to love and serve the lord with and grow old together. I'm very interested to see what your thoughts on this very important topic. God bless you and your ministry.
G-R-E-A-T perspective as usual. Scriptural, unbiased and with credible contextual references. I am now better placed to give advice to other Christians about this matter. It has been kinda difficult b4 now. Thanks, 119. Shalom shalom shalom, from the Arabias- you are reaching wide.
119 is in error on this topic.
Thank you. I learned a lot. 🙏❤️
I think most of ya'll are missing the point of divorce. We should've be seeking about how to get divorced but how to stay married and committed to your spouse and YAH. The most high hates divorce! Marriage to him and marriage to your spouse are the same thing. You've made a covenant with your spouse, made vows to your spouse, and likewise with your heavenly Father. Honor both. Divorce shouldn't been an option unless someone is 8n violation of scriptural grounds for divorce. Malachi 2:14...Because the LORD was witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. 15Did he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union? And what was the one God seeking?Godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and let none of you be faithless to the wife of your youth. 16“For the man who does not love his wife but divorces her, says the LORD, the God of Israel, covers his garment with violence, says the LORD of hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless.”
Absolutely, divorce is permitted. But not reccomend or commanded.
We Are comanded to love our spouse.
And the wife then could remarry
Tough subject to take on. So many are looking for loopholes to justify behavior that pleases their flesh. Great job 119 for taking on this subject!
Where is it a sin to please ones flesh by having more than one wife or concubine for that matter?
@@jameshayden8789 Adam was given Eve. Cain was the 1st to take 2 wives. Nothing but hardship came for those who had 2 or more wives. If you keep His Way, hardship is minimal. If you do not, hardship is increased. Sin means separation from The Most High and His Way. He doesn't view sin as some things being worse than others. There are things that separate us and things that do not. In a marriage relationship with one of the opposite sex, pleasing the flesh is not necessarily a sin. Outside of that however, it is not the way the Most High intended, therefore it separates you from His Way/Him and thats what causes it to be sin.
@@jameshayden8789 Scripture says a man is to leave his family and become ONE flesh with a woman, not with many women.
119 is playing into the flesh with this teaching just like most do , saying Paul teaches remarriage when he does not, he's teaching separation and hopefully reconciliation.
@@1erinjames It is never stated that having more than one wife is a sin in Tanakh. If anything it is encouraged by God Himself. In Deut 21 God makes a provision for having two wives and in 2 Samuel says that He would have blessed David with more wives if he had simply asked for them.
There is no indication that "nothing but hardship" was the outcome of having more than one wife. There was however trouble for those who had married foreign wives and for those who had committed adultery with the wives of other men.
Check out these verses that are in a positive light:
Gen_25:6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
2Sa_12:8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.
2Ch 11:21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)
2Ch 11:22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
2Ch 11:23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
2Ch 24:2 And Joash did that which was right in the sight of YHWH all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
2Ch 24:3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
2Ch 24:4 And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of YHWH.
Divorce was only allowed for fornication not adultery. Fornication meaning during the betrothal. Which was a Jewish custom that is why Joseph was going to put Mary away because she was with child and he had yet to be with her it was for fornication. A betrothal is basically the engagement. Because they considered them to already be husband and wife even though the marriage was not actually a marriage as of yet during the engagement it was their custom. We know that adultery is not grounds for divorce especially when we are told in the scriptures that we are to forgive over and over we are to forgive. The scriptures do not give an allowance for remarriage as long as the spouse is still living of that first Covenant marriage. Even if you were in an abusive situation or a horrible horrific situation whatever the case may be you could separate or if you did get a divorce you were to remain unmarried or reconcile to that spouse we are not given a green light to remarry . In Jeremiah 3 we see that even our creator gave Israel a certificate of divorce but a few versus down he is telling them that he is still their husband he is still married to them and just like with them he didn't go looking for another bride He is wanting them to return to him he didn't go looking for another to replace them. This is a picture of a faithful promise Covenant keeping God . As I stated earlier adultery is not grounds for a divorce because Messiah himself said that even if you look upon another to lust after them you have already committed adultery in your heart so if that's the case everybody could be getting a divorce because everyone is guilty of this at some point or another in their life everybody would be getting a divorce. As far as Paul saying that we are not bound he's not talking about giving you a green light to remarry he's simply saying that you are no longer bound by marital duties but you are still considered their spouse until the death of that spouse Paul would not have given a green light to remarry and then at the end of all of that say in verse 39 that the wife is bound to the husband until death. Even the disciples understood The Binding Covenant agreement that marriage was there was no way out except in the engagement the betrothal that is why they said if it is this way between a man and his wife it is better to not even marry they understood that this was a lifelong binding agreement. We can also look at it this way you made vows you made a covenant you made promises to this person even in most people's vows they say till death do you part well you went and got a divorce nobody died and now you're marrying another now you become a liar. And even if your spouse has not held up to their end of the Covenant meaning they were cheating they are not treating you in a manner that is right you are still going to be held responsible for your end of the Covenant your vows that you made. And some may not have been wise in their choice for a spouse but regardless until that person dies until one of you dies in Father's Eyes that is your spouse. As far as Deuteronomy 24 , Jeremiah 3 and Matthew five addresses this the scriptures are clear that it was because of man man's Wicked sinful heart that divorce was ever even an option but Messiah tells us that if we divorce and we remarry while that's spouse is living it is adultery.🙏❤ I want to add that this applies to the believer and the unbeliever. There are many teaching that whatever we did before coming to Messiah does not count or matter this is false what was sin before you came to the truth is sin even after you come to the truth. This is why Paul said in First Corinthians if you are married to an unbeliever do not seek a divorce . 🙏❤
yep. That is a hard pillow to swallow but it is what it is. This part 3 of these series, did not explain quite clearly things concerning marriage; Paul clearly says in Romans 7 that as long as one the spouses is alive, the marriage is still on before Elohim's eyes. But i quite enjoyed this teaching thou. Remarriage is not allowed for the believer.
Correct.
The window for a lawful divorce ends when the marriage is consummated.
When Jesus returns, there will be a divorce of many who profess to be Christians but did not follow Christ. Jesus will respond ‘I never knew you’. - Matt 7:21-23
The marriage supper of the Lamb as described in Revelation is the consummation of the marriage of Christ with his church. This will be for eternity.
Yes! So many people miss this because they're not familiar with ancient Hebrew customs, plus they'd rather follow the ways of the world which are more appealing to the flesh. Only the gospel according to Matthew contains the so-called "exception clause" because it was written for the Messianic Jews, and originally written in Hebrew. Deuteronomy 24:1, as written, only tells a man he cannot take back his betrothed wife once he had sent her away with a bill of divorcement and she had become another man's wife.
Adultery is divorce and remarriage. Fornication is sexual immorality. Betrothal is considered marriage. Fornication is no only in betrothal.
Deu 22:23 If there be a damsel that is a virgin betrothed unto a man, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
Deu 22:24 then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die: the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife; so thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.
Deu 22:25 But if the man find the damsel that is betrothed in the field, and the man take hold of her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with her shall die.
Thank you ,i listen to this 4times
You should have read Jesus' word twice instead. The Lord is pretty clear.
..this series gives much to comptemplate and should be completely ingested (which includes counsel) to properly ratify any course of action.

I was abused and I'm getting divorced. I feel God lead me to leave. I know now it was right. Thank you for this.
That's fine but Jesus didn´t tell you to remarry though. It is written; don´t be deceived.
I believe you were right in this. Divorce exists for this very reason: to be rid of spouses who refuse to honor their marital vows. You don't have to get married again, but you have that option. Anyone who tells you otherwise is promoting false doctrine.
@@senderoestrecho9142agree
@@dh605x no where does it state in scripture that a woman can divorce. She can seperate from her husband and remain unmarried or reconcile. (1 Corinthians 7 and Romans 7:2). No where does it say she can remarry. To do so would be committing adultery and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery - Jesus is very clear in the gospels regarding this!
@@maunder01 Have you not read Deuteronomy 24:1-4? If getting married again was adultery, then how is the scenario described in these four verses possible? In case you are wondering how the Old Testament is relevant, refer to Matthew 5:17-18 and Luke 16:17.
And what makes you think anyone who is divorced needs some special permission to remarry? You are either married or you are not. See 1 Corinthians 7, verses 9, 15, and 28.
The comments here has way more research behind it than the video itself! 😅 Interchanging Sexual immorality and adultery in the video seems like schoolboy errors. I pray that if you are willing, that God will lead us all to His truth.
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.
God divorced Israel for ADULTERY
This is an excellent and thorough explanation of Yah's word. All praise to the Most High!
@AJ Louviere what do when already in your second marriage? Do you divorce or stay married
@@Ghost88831 Luke 13:1-5
@@ajlouviere202 ok thanks what do 1 Timothy 4 verse 3 means about forbidden to marry in the latter time
We'll sure be within our rights to send away a wife who commits adultery... that would be scriptural and ok. However, will it not be better if we first try to clean the dirt rather than just claim our right? How about separate from her and fast and pray for her... try to cleanse and then strengthen her against that weakness rather than do a 'gotcha'?
Your heart aligns with God in Jeremiah 3. Some husband's may have just been through too much and choose divorce, and God understands that too as He did same.
Shalom. I have enjoyed 119's teachings since I first came into “The Whole Truth” over 7 years ago and they have helped me understand that Yahusha preached Torah and to understand Shaul better. Thank you for those teachings. However, in all brotherly love in Mashiach Yahusha, I must strongly disagree with you on this teaching brothers.
There are 4 accounts of Yahusha preaching this subject in the Besorah, 2 in Mattithyahu and 1 each in Marqos and Lucas. The preachings in Mattithyahu were for a Jewish audience and this is why the misinterpreted word porneia (fornication) was used, and in the preachings in Marquos and Luqas were for the Gentiles which is why there is no exception given because the Gentiles would misunderstand the Hebrew betrothal process so they both said, plain and simple, that divorce and remarriage is committing adultery. Why did Yahusha not order the woman caught in adultery to be stoned? The reason is because the man was not there as well. If the Parashiym had brought the man with the woman, Yahusha would have had to tell them to take them before the elders, then a trial would have had to have taken place and if they were guilty on the testimony of two witnesses, both would have had to be stoned and the two witnesses would have had to cast the first stones, this is why Yeshua said he who is without sin, cast the first stone. The Parashyim were all guilty of the sin of not bringing the man with them. If Yahusha would not have done this if the man had been brought with the woman, He would have been guilty of sin for breaking the Torah and Yahusha would have still been in that borrowed tomb. The same holds true for any other sexual sin that can be done in marriage, the person(s) would have been stoned if they were found guilty so divorce would not be necessary and the partner would have been dead so it would meet the requirement until death doeth part. The only definition of sin that fits porneia in this instance is fornication, and fornication is sexual immorality before marriage, just like Yoceph (Joseph and Mary) was going to put Miryam away privately because he was a good man which is a whole other teaching and this precedent was set in the 38th chapter of Bere'shiyth (Genesis). The only way divorce and remarriage are allowed is if the man finds his betrothed pregnant with child as did Yoceph or when Yahudah found Tamar pregnant and she was betrothed to Shelah. The instances in Mark 10:11-12 and Luke 16:18 are "stone" cold clear that if you divorce and remarry it is adultery and you will be living in adultery and we know that adulterers shall not enter into the kingdom of Elohiym. Why do you think Yahusha never married? He could have had His choice of brides. He didn't marry because He was already marrtied and had divorced His wife and He had to die on that cross on Calvary to take the punishment for His adulterous wife, you and I, so that His own commandment of "till death do you part" was fullfilled and He could remarry His chosen bride from the beginning, adam (man), us..... I truly implore everyone, to not take my word on this subject or anyone's word, but test everything as 119 always says. This is a very weighty matter and if you are considering divorce or are divorced and considering remarriage, please, please test everything that you hear or read on this subject, please.
Even though I strongly disagree with this teaching, I still thank you very much for all of the teachings that you have done and I am sure that you will continue to do.
Shalom.
Patrick thanks for sharing. I want to say I whole heartedly love Yahuah. I’m just coming into the knowledge of truth. It’s been a year for me. I’ve read somethings and I’m still searching the scriptures. My truth is I was married not knowing or being taught the weight of marriage or understanding of what marriage is (while in tradition church/Christianity). I got married (in 2012) and I was miserable and was being treated bad. I was being mentally abused and taken advantage of. I couldn’t even visit my family. I only saw them 2x when I was married. I remember having one packet of noodles in the cabinet to eat, I cooked them for him and pretended like I ate so that he could have a full stomach. I gave everything I had and I was working alone while he said Yahweh told him not to work, which I later found out was not word. I was working part time trying soo hard to care for him. I begged and pleaded for him to help me, I sincerely prayed for him as much as possible. I fasted and prayed. He would come home from where I don’t know because he didn’t work and ignore me literally acted like I wasn’t there. I cried so many nights begging for even just simple rendering of love. At night, I would just close my eyes sayig I didn’t want to live anymore. I just couldn’t understand why he was doing what he was doing. I had given all I had in every way I could. but in the mist of the abuse, I committed one act adultery. I was so heartbroken and sickened that it happened that I cried and cried. I cried and cried and cried. I went to him and told the truth. After telling him the truth, things didn’t get better. We even went to our pastor and I told him and I wanted my marriage to work. My ex husband didn’t want our marriage to work and left me with bills and a broken heart. He left and I never saw him again that day. I asked Yahuah for forgiveness and I believe in my heart he forgave me. I’m saying this to say, that experience taught me so much. We all have things that happened to us but the word of Yahweh stays the same. He knows and can feel what we experienced. It may not feel good knowing that I could never get re-married or have a chance to have at least one child because of the divorce but all I know is I love Yahweh and I just want to make him happy.
@@smiler5134 Hello Smile :-) Sorry for the slightly delayed response. I am glad to hear that you whole heartedly Love Yahuah and I love Yahuah and Yahusha as my All and All also. It is a real blessing that you have come into the Knowledge of The Whole Truth! Praise YHWY for that!!! Take your time and as you grow in Truth, be like the Beran's - Acts 17:11These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Thank you for sharing your story, know that you are not alone in this. Your story, instead of being out of the ordinary for marriages today, it is the normal, unfortunately. Sexual sin is one of the places that the enemy attacks us the hardest. It is the first commandment that Yahuah gave Adam and Eve (maybe second command but that's for another conversation). Yah told them, male and female, to be fruitful together and multiply. It is one of the most beautiful gifts He gave us, to have a partner and the two become one flesh, and then have a family by the covenant that He set forth! His covenant is so important to Him that after He divorced Israel, instead of remarrying, He chose to take the punishment, death, for His adulteress wife, us, so that He wouldn't break His own Torah, so that He could remarry us when He returns! How deep is that Love?? We cannot even comprehend!
Man is appointed once time to die, then the judgement. We are also appointed one time to marry and until death does them part, anything else is sin. It really is that simple. I have studied this subject for over 30 years and as time progresses, the enemy has blinded the church and now it is hard to find anyone that says it is sin if you have a living spouse and divorce them, then you are free to remarry and this is what Yahuah and Yahusha want. We have to be married if we want to have “lawful” sex, right? This is usually where most people only listen to their heart and lust of their flesh and do what they want and they use every scripture that they can to justify it. But Yahusha said that we must come to Him as little children and how can little children understand this? Yahusha tells us plain and simple in Mark and Luke, which were preachings on the subject for everyone who was not raised in Hebrew culture and didn't understand the only time that you can get a divorce, and that is before the two become one flesh, during the betrothal process. All of the other verses on the subject are misunderstood and people use them to argue their position. The simplicity in understanding this subject for the way that Yahusha intended it to be understood can be found in Matthew's last account of this teaching. After Yahusha had finished the teaching/preaching to the Pharisees, His disciples said:
10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
If the disciples understood the teaching this way, and if we are to be Yahusha's disciples and hopefully His bride, then this is the way we should understand it. It really is that simple.
As I stated earlier, this is one of the strongest ways our enemy attacks us, adultery, fornication, lust and other sexual sins. I, we, have to battle this every day in the society in which we live and it is a very hard battle and we loose that battle a lot, but are we suppose to accept this and choose to live in sexual immorality, out of covenant with Yah and Yahusha? No! We are to fight everyday and we cannot fight if we choose to remarry with a living spouse. If we remarry with a living spouse, we have chosen in our heart to disobey Yahusha and choose someone else to love/lust and throw out the person who loves us the most, loves us more than anyone ever has or ever will, Has chosen us, as His bride for eternity and paid the ultimate price for the bride He loves so much. Yahusha died for His bride, took her sin and paid the ultimate ransom for her!!!
I hope this has helped. 119 has a good teaching on this subject called “The Lost Sheep”. The love story that will be told about us for eternity is the greatest one the world has ever seen, or will ever see! This is not our home, we are only passing through on our way to eternity, waiting to be reunited with Yahushua! May Yah bless you and keep you.
Shalom

@@ServantofYahusha74 why would Yah state that divorce can only be in the betrothal period for fornication if He himself divorced Israel for ADULTERY in the marriage?
Paul is not teaching about divorce and remarriage in the text about being married to an unbeliever. He is talking about separation, that's why the text talks about reconciliation and you can't reconcile a marriage if one is remarried. The only reason you can divorce and remarry is if your wife commits fornication as Jesus commanded. Also there is no mention of a woman divorcing her husband and remarrying only the man for the woman's fornication, the text says a woman is bound to her husband AS LONG AS HE LIVES. There is only one reason for a man to divorce and remarry, fornication. The only other reason for remarriage is death of the spouse. There is only one reason a woman can remarry and that is death of her spouse. Everything else is only in reference to separation and reconciliation or stay single and serve the Lord alone. That's why it is one of the ten commandments, thou shalt not commit adultery, because it is that serious , it's a covenant , let no man tear asunder what God has joined together, except for fornication!!!! As Jesus Christ commanded. Adam and Eve as it was from the beginning. If you can't take your marriage covenant seriously then don't get married , as the apostles said it's better to not marry then , they said this because it was a serious binding covenant with no way out except for death or in the man's case death or his wife commits fornication. If you can't be faithful in marriage you won't be faithful in anything. Where do you think modern wedding vows came from ? The bible!!! TILL DEATH DO US PART and nobody takes this vow seriously anymore including Christians.
💯 Correct. It is plain and simple in Scripture. Except death remarriage. But yet you will still find people trying and using loopholes for remarriage. And yes fornication. People keep using adultery Jesus used 2 diffrent words in one sentence yet people are going against Jesus. Anyway well done speaking truth.
@@grant2149 amen brother. Yes it is sad and dangerous business. No adulterers will enter the Kingdom.
@@christophermannino8627 Amen
Paul is clearly speaking of divorce. He says “Let not the wife DEPART from her husband. But and if she DEPART, let her remain UNMARRIED…”
The fact that it says “unmarried” (not married) signifies that “depart” is referring to divorce.
Then it says “let not the husband PUT AWAY (divorce) his wife.”
@@QueMari he's not speaking about condoning divorce and remarriage, he's speaking against it and telling to only separate if needed and hopefully reconcile. Paul agrees with Jesus Christ 100% and just expands the teaching of Christ further into more situational detail. He's speaking that if you depart to remain single because he knows what Jesus Christ taught about remarriage, that it is adultery.
Could you please test the Trinity doctrine sometime? Would be great to get your informed persepective on that too.

I hope you can expound on the "unbeliever" as some church/cult use this as argument against those who have left their church/cult but who have not really turned away from God.
Hi! You can leave a church and still be a believer. You are the "temple". If you go to a church, you are "assembling" with others. So if you leave the church, you are still the "temple", you haven't turned away from God. An unbeliever is someone who rejects Yeshua/Jesus as Messiah. A believer who is married to an unbeliever is unequally yolked. When Yeshua/Jesus was talking to the pharisees saying "destroy this temple and I will rebuild it in three days, but they did not understand that he was talking about the temple of his body".
@@lisettenwilford3009 thanks. It is a good reminder. It's just that there are personality cults out there that pretend to be "the only true Church of God" and uses verses to "disfellowship" people just because they're waking up to the truth about the group and their so-called 'prophet', and then label them as "unbelievers."
I’m going to stick with what Yeshua Messiah said. Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery. Romans 7:3 - So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man. Matthew 5:32 - But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. And as far as the law and Yeshua dying - HE may marry another upon resurrection - and we died with HIM - so this scripture explains how we can now be betrothed to HIM - Romans 7:4 - Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God. --I think your understanding is off. No offense but what you say that divorced people are free to remarry is not what is taught to us in GODS Word unless the other spouse dies - And finally this is what Yeshua Messiah said concerning Moses who allowed divorce - Yeshua is correcting this to us in Matthew 19:7-9 - Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?” 8Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart; but it was not this way from the beginning. 9Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman, commits adultery.”… I think you misunderstand what’s being taught in the Torah on this subject. 💕
The word Yeshua used there was, whoever puts away his wife and marries another. Not "divorces".
There is a big difference between putting away and divorcing.
Jesus says do not marry a put away woman.
Correct. Only one reason for the man to divorce and remarry, his wife's fornication. Otherwise if your wife is alive you are bound for life no matter what the circumstances are. You can separate but must remain alone. The woman is bound as long as her husband lives, period. She can separate but must remain alone. Most can't accept what the bible actually teaches and its patriarchal structure.
Where is it prophesied that a messiah would "correct" what God has spoken? Isn't the messiah supposed to teach Torah as it is written without adding or subtracting from it?
James Hayden Yeshua Messiah did not add to it - rather HE corrected their misunderstanding of it - they were adding to it and subtracting from Gods Commandments in the Torah - they were creating mens traditions. For instance Matthew 15 - read it in context - 1Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 2“Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” 3He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your TRADITION? 4For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 5But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”- 6then he need not honor his father or mother.’ Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: 8‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. 9And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”There are many examples HE corrected them on and their adding and subtracting from the Torah. Today it continues among the Jews and their Talmud as well as in the Christian denominational churches with all their man made traditions - as you are well aware of I’m sure. BY THE WAY - Yeshua was GOD in the flesh - HE is the Torah. HE is the WORD. (John 1:1-3,10,14) - In beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. HE was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him. 💕
@@jameshayden8789 he didn't correct what God has spoken he taught the perfect way from the beginning that came before Moses being given commandments because of the hardness of people's hearts. Jesus Christ taught on marriage as it was from the beginning one man and one woman for life , he was pointing to Adam and Eve. So he didn't correct anything he taught the original command from the garden.
Hi. Thank you very much for these teachings. I have two questions. What if one’s believing husband continues to be involved in sexual relationships with people other than his wife? With unmarried women? Or if the wife did the divorcing? I have heard some say the wife cannot divorce the husband. Is it permissible for a woman to divorce her husband if her husband refuses to honor their covenant?
Did your covenant with him state that he would be faithful only to you? I made sure mine did.
I am looking forward to their 4th teaching where (hopefully) a lot of our questions will be answered.
Hi, I was reading through your comment and these scriptures came to mind in Exodus 20 verses 14 and 17. The laws were given to Moses by the most high to give to the people. All were instructed to abide by the laws not just the woman but the man also. Verse 14 is very plain. "Thou shall not commit adultery". Verse 17 deals with coveting anything your neighbor has including your neighbors wife. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.” So with that being said I believe your neighbor has a strong case against her husband in the court of YAH. Not only has he coveted or desired someone who isn't his wife but he acted upon his desire. Yahushua forbids this. James 1:13Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. He's in direct violation of the Torah. There are two people in a marriage and both are responsible for their conduct.
@@cyohe8643 even if the covenant didn't state it, we are bound by YAHs covenant. Sexual immorality is wrong, covetousness is wrong, and adultery is wrong. If the person you marry doesn't agree with that then you're marrying the wrong person.
One last point. The references to these scriptures are for all and not just men and women but for all. There are women adultresses too. Proverbs 6:26For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. Verse 29So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. Verse 32But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
In that case, God said Himself that you may divorce without feeling guilty. It your husband that keeps on making God's Holy institution a joke....so that makes him an unbeliever, and that's another reason why someone can get divorced, because we christians can not be unequally yoked....
When Paul says if an unbeliever leaves then you are free, isn't he adding to the Torah?
Ben jij, net als ik, opzoek naar de waarheid, en heb jij vragen over bijbel? Dan raad ik je aan om het youtube kanaal: B’nee emet te bezoeken.
Are all marriages joined together by God?
What if the unbelieving spouse left but didn’t divorce. Is the believer free to file themselves and still marry down the road or are they to wait on their unbelieving spouse to file before they are free?
Very good question.
Paul does a good job summerizing the Torah instruction on this matter in 1 Cor 7.
15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called youb to live in peace."
You are not bound to a broken marraige contract. Ask for final divorce so you both can live in peace.
There is no allowance to remarry, period, until your spouse dies. It's easy to read, but hard to accept.
@@senderoestrecho9142 Nonsense! You are either married or you are not, and a divorce ends the marriage. As for an allowance to remarry, Deuteronomy 24:2 makes it very clear that there is one. So does 1 Corinthians 7:9, which applies to people who are unmarried for any reason. Jesus also made it very clear that nothing in His words changes the Law (Matt 5:17-18, Luke 16:17).
@@dh605x are you a jew under the old testament that was for Israel alone or are you a person who entered the covenant that came into play after Jesus' resurrection? Make up your mind. Jesus said He fulfills the law, but He most certainly superseded the law of Moses with the law of Christ, aka law of Grace which is why jews today are going around in circles, not able to get atonement for their sins, without a temple. Jesus fulfils the law because He confirms everything prophesied about Him; he isn´t saying by "fulfiil": "now, you go and do everything in the law of Moses, please". Of course He isn´t going to rub out the law of Moses from existence because whoever tries to justify himself through doing the law of Moses will find he or she can´t and it will point them to the Saviour. That´s its purpose. Plus they WILL be judged for not keeping all of it and that means absolutely everyone trying to keep it won´t make it. Jesus still has other prophecies to fulfil about Himself and so He came to fulfil the law, yes, but didn´t say it´s for you to keep. Get it? The bible says, in fact, if you try to keep it, claiming to know Christ, that you must keep ALL of it and you won´t be saved therefore because you are making a mockery of the cross and why the Lord went through what He did for us at Calvary, not to mention rising from the dead. So moving on to Deuteronmy, then, are you okay with stoning people today, as a christian? would you stone your friend's child for disobeying their parents? Because you do realize that the bible teaches you must do all the law of Moses if you want to keep ANY of it at all, so if you like holding remarriage celebrations, as an example, for people after their divorce and are going to Deuteronmy for justification for them remarrying, then read a couple of chapters before that chapter and get your stones ready, friend; don´t be a hypocrite okay. Stone your friend's wife for committing adultery if that what she did, and then your friend can be a widower and, Bob´s your uncle, free to remarry for two completely different reasons! Obviously I am being sarcastic.
As for 1 Cor 7: 9......do you thnk the Holy Spirit inspired that verse, as well as verse 39 and everything inbetween? Because I don´t see any contradiction whatsoever. What about verses 10 to 11 where Jesus commands that you can only reconcile or stay as you are after you've separated?....was that Holy Spirit inspired to you? I don´t see any contradiction whatsoever there either. No, no contradiction in the entire bible, let alone chapter 7 of 1 Corinthians. Verses 8 and 9, friend, are NOT talking to divorced/separted people but to never married and people who are widowed. In Greek the word for unmarried is "agamos" which is in whereas for the married (even the verb 'to marry) it´s "gameo" and there is NO mention once about divorcees in the entire chapter 7. The only categories in that chapter are unmarried: virgins and/or never married, and married people. So where are you going to shove the divorcees, friend? You can´t put them with the virgins (parthenos) and widows. They have living spouses!!!! And is the Holy Spirit nuts to say what it says in verses 10 and 11 and verse 39, not to mention Romans 7: 1-3 that there´s no chance for remarriage? Because you are just ignoring these verses seeing they don't line up with your beliefs. The enemy has blinded you, friend, wake up. People are going to hell every day because they died in a remarriage, every day sleeping with someone else´s spouse, someone else's "one flesh" that God said man cannot undo, and thinking he/she belonged to them. Sad.
@@senderoestrecho9142 What happens if you do remarry after a divorce? Do you lose your salvation? If so, how do you get your salvation back? Does God cast you into the Fiery Notheaven where the demons poke your hiney with flaming hot pitchforks? Or do the demons sit on your face and fart on your nose after eating big bad burritos and hellfire chili?
If so, can you support your assertion? Caution: citing 1 Corinthians 6:9 is not enough. That verse refers to adulterers, not remarried people. If remarriage after divorce is always adultery, it would have never been allowed even under the Mosaic Law. God isn't known for issuing Licenses to Sin.
To the others reading: there is no sin in divorcing someone who is vile, cruel, abusive, dishonest, adulterous, etc. And if you do divorce, there is no restriction on getting married again. God is not unjust. You are not obligated to stay with someone who willfully and flagrantly farts on their marital vows.
If you are at a church and their leadership tells you that you are SOL because marital vows are binding no matter what evil your spouse does, leave that church and never return. Those people are making an idol out of the idea of marriage permanence. Are we supposed to believe God hates divorce more than He hates cruelty, neglect, etc?
Thank you for taking the time and energy to put forth this series. 119 ministries has been very instrumental to me during my walk. Nonetheless, it appears that you have added to the Word when you quoted the Messiah. You considered the Mishnah in your interpretation, but that resource is rabbinic literature not scripture. A compilation of "rabbinic views" do not override the Messiah's words, or the law. The Word seems clear, anyone who divorces and remarries (while their spouse is alive) except for sexual immortality commits adultery. Culture does not always equal law. The world has a long history of doing things based on culture even though the acts maybe in opposition to Yah's law.
And yet, Jesus forgives. The woman at the well, with "5 husbands" Jesus accepts, loves and obviously forgives her mistakes.
@@deelynn8611 This is not a matter of forgiveness. King David was forgiven for adultery and was beloved by the Most-High. My comment is not about judgement, I'm reiterating the Word. Just because we are forgiven doesn't mean the Most-High endorses or agrees with our actions. There are many actions noted in the Bible that go against the Torah. We're supposed to learn from them, not imitate the errors of the past.
The Samaritan woman who had 5 husbands was mentioned to glorify the Messiah and to show her faith, not to glorify or condone her having 5 husbands. Furthermore we don't know if she was widowed or divorced multiple times. Either way, let us not take the Most-High's grace for granted. None of us are without sin, we show our love to the Messiah by keeping his commands as best we can.
@@YAHsKreative I appreciate your zeal... however I must point out, Yeshua did not, and cannot change the law. If he tried to do so, that would disqualify Him from being our Messiah.
The law Clearly states when and How a divorce can be made.
Jesus was clarifying a finer point, not Changing the command.
The Greek word --
(Strong's Number - G630
Greek: ἀπολύω
Transliteration: apoluō
Pronunciation: ap-ol-oo'-o
Definition: From G575 and G3089; to free fully that is (literally) relieve release 6
dismiss (reflexively depart) or (figuratively) let die pardon or (specifically) divorce: - (let) depart dismiss divorce forgive let go loose put (send) away release set at liberty.
KJV Usage: release (17x), put away (14x), send away (13x), let go (13x), set at liberty (2x), let depart (2x), dismiss (2x), misc (6x).)
It Means to put away, in this specific case, Without first giving a letter of divorce. This is how men of that time got rid of thier wives. Somply put them out of the house without an official Disolving of the marraige Contract.
The KJV and ISR Scriptures Both Use the correct Translation For these verses. As you can see of the 60 uses of apoluo it never means divorce, only to put away.
Modern Christianity Added the word divorce to Matt 19:9 as A form of eisogesus.
According to the Text, divorce is permitted in certain cases; it's not commanded. Reconciliation is the goal-a spirit of, "How can we work through this serious breach instead Of looking to get out of marital responsibility.
@@Th3Pr0digalS0n I agree with your comment. I don't believe I said anything to the contrary.

lol Deutoronomy is part of Torah of YHWH (Father)/God. All books of the Bible points to Torah. Here, Yeshua, who is the Messiah, a teacher of Torah/Rabbi, taughr about divorce.
Most christians dont have knowledge about Torah and culture of the Jews. In Matthew, Yeshua was teaching concerning Deutoronomy commandment about divorce.
Watched 4/2/22
You mention the biblical or Torah teaching from Leviticus, in cases where the hisband divorces the wife due to either ( suspecting sexual infidelity or proof that this occurred). How about if that role is reversed, the husband has been unfaithful, has an adulterous affair, and is found out? The wife after giving her husband a chance to recocile, to repair the damage, the husband responds, and after a year, becomes unfaithful again with the same adulterous situation? She then takes it upon herself to throw in the towel, file for divorce. The husband responds by not contesting the divorce, then to add insult to injury, he co-files for ( no-fault) divorce. After 8 months the divorce is finalized. the wife is free, The husband eventually sees the error of his ways, leaves an adulturous relationship with a divorced woman, then leaves the situation. Now, he is single, 3 years, unattached, is on good terms with ex-wife, yet is not reconciled to her. can the husband re-marry again, having given his ex-wife an opportunity to reconcile and she has no interest in re-marrying? It has been a difficult situation since the husband is now "born again", the ex-wife not, but the two now pratice different faiths. It sounds complicated..asking for a friend (not a joke).
@@mrspleasants8529 ...thank you for your reply, although it was the wife that initiated the divorce, the husband, gave up trying to reconcile by contesting. He mutually agreed to move on. So, can the husband ever remarry, an equally yoked woman, who may have been divorced or widowed? Sorry if I am not completely understanding.
@@ConjuntoBuenaMezcla as long as neither party has remarried, a divorced couple can come back together.
But as soon As one marries another, they cannot Return to the marriage Bed.
A single divorced person, is free to marry any other single divorced Person.
BTW GOD considers intercourse As the marraige covenant Act.
If you have bedded another, you are married in His eyes...
Food for thought.
@@Th3Pr0digalS0n ..Thank you, this helps to clarify things , Shalom!
@@ConjuntoBuenaMezclathem how does the father of a seduced vergin refuse to allow the seducer to marry his daughter?
Most people these days grow up without Godly upbringing, and are taught serious dysfunction. I had no idea who I was until i worked thru my upbringing and healed serious issues. I had been married twice, and did not know what i was doing. And it happens all the time. There's no way i could have stayed married, they were both addicts, besides that tho, I outgrew the relationships much that there was nothing there, no grounds for commonality at all. We are missing something in the scriptures Brothers and sisters.

thanks. that doesn't appear on my list of upcoming videos.
I have stated to others that Jesus would allow a divorce if they were in apostasy and not accepting the discipline of the assembly like they were entertaining idolatry or continuing walking in the flesh in Galatians. Paul in Corinthians says to not continue to associate to anyone who calls themselves a Christian and walks antithetical to the faith. This seems to indicate there are other valid Torah reasons. The unbeliever in Paul's words means one who has not made any converted decisions.
Mark 10 proves that men absolutely can commit adultery against THEIR wife as well, unlike your last video teaches.
So let's use wisdom/scriptures to get understanding.
(Psalms 119:104 KJV) Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
Divorce (Deut.24:1) as Jesus made clear is due to fornication/premarital (Matt.19:9)
Divorce could never have been for adultery because a defiled woman could never return to her husband (Deut.24:4) as they are asked to do in 1COR.7:10-11. Sex is marriage but must be between a husband and wife. If we familiarize ourselves with the marriage process in Deut.22:13-21 then we find that if no fornication is found in the woman (Deut.22:19) then he can not put her away all the days of his life which means not even for adultery. That was an example of him hating her but if he loves her, no complaint would be made and in that case they now officially married and he would use Deut.24:1 if she is found to have some uncleanness in her which more than likely means found to be in advance pregnancy (similar to Mary) but we will just say fornication this is why the children are unclean in 1COR.7:14.
In 1COR.7 Paul is addressing fornication, so in verse 10-24, when speaking to married people we fail to realize Paul is is addressing fornication so if speaking to married people about fornication, the topic will be divorce which Jesus explained is the only reason to divorce (Matt.19:9, so 1COR.7:12-16 is dealing with divorce due to fornication and not unbelief. The unbeliever believes in the law taught in the synagogues every Sabbath (Acts.15:21) the thing that was not believed was Jesus and the new commandment not to divorce, and if they do the wife should stay unmarried or reconcile back to her husband (1COR.7:10-11). So the unbeliever who believes in the law (Deut.24:1-4) is going to want a divorce making you free and not held in bondage (1COR.7:15) because by law he can divorce her, for her uncleanness, and she is gonna ask for a divorce from him, so she can leave because she finds no favor in his eyes because he found some uncleanness in her. (Deut.24:1-4))
23:37 I appreciate the work you guys put in but you must be very careful with your interpretation there in Corinthians about if the spouse leaves you are not enslaved any longer I think it's very much error to believe that means divorce for several reasons. One it is contrary to the Torah and 2 when he goes on to say how do you know if you will save your spouse or how do you know if you will save your husband, how would you ever save your spouse or your husband if you divorce them, hes talking separation not divorce, On the contrary if you stayed faithful even though you were separated, so possibly down-the-line you could be reconciled and threw your faith and faithfulness save your spouse 💯❤️📖🗡
When Paul gave an exception for divorce in 1 Cor 7:15, he was drawing from the general principle of Exodus 21:10-11.
In Torah (Exodus 21:10-11), a slave-wife who was neglected/abandoned by husband, by not receiving her marital rights (food, clothing, love, affection & sexual relations) was allowed to “go free”.
Meaning that she was free from the marriage & no longer enslaved to that man, because of his abandonment.
Paul uses this principle in 1 Corinthians 7:15, saying that an abandoned believer is “not under bondage”… (ie, not enslaved) and is free from the marriage.
According to Torah desiring a second wife is not considered "bad motivation". Torah sets the precedent for a man who has two wives and who is going to give his inheritance to his first born. No sin is committed nor is it implied.
King Herod did not commit adultery by divorcing his wife and then marrying a divorced woman or sister in-law if she was legally divorced. While their motivation may have been unbecoming they still had not committed sin. If they had remained married then they would have been committing adultery. Notice that not even Josephus mentions adultery.
Torah observance requires us to follow YHWH and not a man who has an opinion about Torah.
Jesus, in the exception clause, would have used the word for adultery if he specifically meant that that were the exception, but he used the word for fornication and that is between people who are NOT lawfully married to one another. For example, a man and daughter; two people of the same sex; divorcees remarrying, etc etc. THOSE are the exepcion because they are all porneia, despite whatever vows they may have exchanged. God never made them one flesh.
Stop going to the law of Moses for loopholes when Jesus made it clear that under the new covenant, no one can remarry unless their spouse is dead. Paul says the same. John the Baptist was killed for saying the same.
Excatly correct people always use Deut 24 as loopholes. It is sickening the remarriages today that go against Jesus word.
Hosea forgave gomer as she continually committed adultery. Joseph had the authority to forgive Mary had the angel not intervened Forgiveness is always best! Ask yourself do you have a hard heart like the pharisee? Jesus came to take out our stoney heart and replace it with a heart of flesh! Moses added this precept, it was not a direct command from God this was accepted under the Aaronic priesthood, we are now under the Melchisedek priesthood. The kingdom of God is within you. (leo tolstoy) is at hand when will his people respond with a broken and contrite heart? Jesus says from the beginning it was not so. Restore things, back to the way God intended it. (Luke 3:8-14)
So jesus says if you divorce for any other reason other than adultery you are committing adultery if you divorce and remarry. But then Paul says you can divorce your spouse if they consent because of unbelief? Where did jesus say that this was possible? You know, "let no man put asunder"? Where did Paul get the authority to change what jesus said? Same place jesus did when he changed what YHWH has said?
This is equivalent to a biblical "Who's on first" bit.
@@mrspleasants8529 If a woman marries another man without a divorce from her first husband she is committing adultery. Being put away means being divorced. Only divorced women can remarry and not be considered being in adultery. Jesus is adding to Torah by claiming that it is adultery for a man to divorce his wife and marry another woman or that whoever marries the divorced woman commits adultery. Both are false teachings of jesus who has no authority to do so.
Mar 10:11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

YHWH divorced Israel for her adultery and unbelief (Jeremiah 3:8). YHWH issued her a certificate of divorce then scattered Israel. The 10 northern tribes have yet to be regathered. However, YHWH provided a way for Israel to be remarried to YHWH through Yeshua’s death. This is why Yeshua specifically tells the twelve disciples to “go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Matthew 10:6). Jim Staley has a really good teaching on this titled, Identity Crisis.
@@setapart6937 Where does YHWH state that the death of a messiah would be the way Israel could be remarried to God?
Torah gives us no specific definition of what is unclean or unseemingly in Deuteronomy 24. It does not state adultery as the exclusive reason for a divorce. So long as the certificate of divorce (for whatever reason) has been issued both the man and the woman are free to marry another and are NOT COMITTING adultery if they desire to do so. Jesus is adding to or changing what God has already stated as the precedent for the giving of a certificate of divorce.
Adultery is defined as sexual intercourse between a married woman and a man not her husband or a man (who doesn't have to be married) who has sexual intercourse with a married woman. Both are to be stoned and remarriage is not an option. If a married man has sexual intercourse with a woman who is not his wife and who is not married there is no prohibition and stoning is not involved. A divorced woman can remarry and the husband who put her away can also remarry. Not to mention marry a second wife.
Jesus can have an opinion as to how he feels about divorce, but he has no authority to command that remarriage is permitted only after adultery in which case God commands death as the punishment and that remarriage is not possible for the ones who commit it. We are to follow the commandments of YHWH and not the commandments of men.
@@mrspleasants8529 You are correct but as it relates to Deut 24:1 there is no direct or specific definition given as to what that uncleanness or unseemingly thing is. The Hebrew word that is given is er'vah. It is translated as nudity. So what is the nudity that is discovered by the husband of which he finds no favor in her? Any ideas? Let me know.
@@jameshayden8789 The truth is that it is not possible to itemize every sin or offense that would constitute just and reasonable grounds for divorce. If it were possible, the Mosaic Law would have done so.
The NT identifies two explicit grounds for divorce: immorality of a sexual nature, and abandonment by an unbeliever. I am of the position that a ground for divorce is no less valid simply because it isn't explicitly named as such. What if you are abandoned by someone who claims to be a believer? Are you SOL?
I've even heard people claim that the exception in Matt 19:9 applies only to immorality during the engagement period qualifies as a valid ground for divorce! So adultery during marriage would not qualify as a valid ground for divorce! If this doctrine isn't wacky and outlandish, then what is!?
