Thank you sir. This is powerful. Gods matrix is different from man’s matrix . Adulterers will not enter heaven. I pray people repent because God want purity in heaven. Heaven has been polluted once and will not be polluted the second time, this means that Jesus have to die the second time. He will not give up his son the second time. When we water down the scripture we are saying that God will give up his son the second time. He is God his standards are his standards. We need to meditate a lot on that scripture. What Reverend Esiri is saying is true .marriage is a covenant that is why the consequences of breaking the vow is higher .
May God help us all...
Glory to His name forever
Some corrections:
1. Polygamy is not a sin. Abraham and David, who will be in heaven, were granted multiple wives for His purpose: "Have I not given you the wives of your enemies?" Although, today, we are not able to be elders in the church if we have more than one wife, signifying that God has granted it better and more honorable to have only one wife. Anyone with multiple wives must be barred from being an overseer or elder in the church, but they are not within sin because of their wives. Rather, they are responsible for each of their wives.
2. "He must belong to the Lord." "Do not be unequally yoked." Just a couple more verses to signify that we are indeed sinning if we take on marrying an un-believer and indeed, it is not the will of God to marry someone outside the church if you belong to Christ. However, Paul says, "Do not seek to leave," if the unbeliever is willing to hold onto the marriage. They are married. Their children are holy and they belong to each other.
3. When it says, "except for sexual immorality" it is not implying that you can divorce for sexual immorality. It is designating that, if you divorce your wife for any other case but sexual immorality, you are causing her to become an adulterer (which she would only already be if there was sexual immorality), meaning that, if you divorce her, and there has been no sexual immorality, you are now responsible for her sexual immorality, because you have separated her from the only righteous source of her sexuality, which is her husband, which is you. It is not saying "if there is sexual immorality you can divorce" as he states very clearly that "what God has joined together let no man separate" and their reaction is, "But there was a certificate given at one time". meaning they understood his answer to be, "Not for any reason" which was what they had asked. "Can a man divorce his wife for any reason?" Jesus, "Do not let it happen."
4. There is a sin of fornication. There could be no sin of fornication if sex with someone made them married. Therefore, to judge marriage and union on the basis of sexual intercourse is a misstep and not biblical. It seems good, but it is not the way.
The reason the emphasis is on the woman is because of polygamy. Being able to have multiple wives allows for multiple marriages for the man, but not the woman. Hence, the scripture is compelled to appropriately emphasis the woman's role in the faithfulness, because it is not unfaithfulness to have multiple wives. This does not make a man immune from unfaithfulness because of his responsibility with his wife. If he is using another woman to ignore his wife's needs, he is unfaithful. If we can commit adultery in our hearts by looking lustfully on a woman, then men are even more responsible with their time, attention, and consideration of their wives. A man can be faithfully married, courting another woman, and still going to hell because he has not given the proper regard for his wife.
Can you throw more light please.... Some paragraphs, especially the last one.
@@TheREMNANTChannel1 I can try. One at a time.
Polygamy:
God is not against polygamy but uses it to create Israel through Rebekah and Leah. Genesis 29:31 all the way through 30:24.
He rewards David with the wives of his enemies. 2 Samuel 12:8.
However, later on, we are told there are specific conditions for being an elder or overseer in the church, including needing to have multiple children, and only one wife:
Titus 1:6. Timothy 3:1-12.
This sets a precedence that a man should aim to have only one wife and a godly family of kids, because that is what is seen as desirable and the only way he can be allowed to serve in eldership in the church.

Not leaving but also not seeking to marry non-believers:
Paul commands widows they can remarry, but that he must belong to the Lord. He also advises them not to look for a husband if they are beyond a certain age for their own happiness. 1 Corinthians 7:39-40. A Christian widow does not have freedom to marry someone who doesn't belong to the Lord and should not be allowed to marry a non-believer by the church.
1 Corinthians 7:12-17. If you find yourself in a marriage where one person is not a believer, you are not supposed to just leave if they don't want to leave you. But you are supposed to let them leave if they want to, because you may not be able to save them and shouldn't stress out about trying to. This doesn't mean get remarried, but it does mean living at peace. You should not force your spouse to try and stay with you if they do not know Jesus and you do.
"Do not be unequally yoked" It was quoted I think in the video. 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1. It's very important we separate ourselves and our holy, and part of that is not being yoked to an unbeliever, specifically marriage. It is very detrimental to a holy walk if we are in such a bond with someone who doesn't know Jesus. But, again, this is not reason for divorce as already explained. Finding yourself in a marriage with an unbeliever is different than trying to marry an unbeliever, which the church should forbid, seeing as we are commanded not to yoke ourselves unequally with unbelievers.

Going over what Jesus says to about divorce and remarriage:
"Let man not separate." It means don't let it happen. It means the church should do what it can to prevent divorce. We are not to let it happen. We cannot force people to be together. But we can also consider it dishonorable to divorce, shun it, and never help the process.
“Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.” Mark 10:11.
+
“Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery." Luke 16:18.
(It is never said in the scriptures that having multiple wives is a sin. However, there are no scriptural examples of a woman having multiple husbands, except in the case of sin, such as with the woman at the well. "Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.")
Notice that divorce is necessary for marrying another woman to be adultery. This is because God desires reconciliation. Therefore, a man who has a divorced wife, must first reconcile with her, or be guilty of adultery if he marries another while he is divorced. If it were that having two wives is adultery, then people like Jacob, David, and Abraham would be in hell. However, we are told by Jesus that Lazarus was with Abraham in heaven. Therefore, the command of marrying another woman is adultery for a man only as long as he is not reconciled to his present wives/wife.
“It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
+
"I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
Where there is no sexual immorality, divorcing a wife causes her to be a victim of adultery. Why? Because a husband and wife are the only right places for sexual intimacy. Why would divorcing your wife and marrying another not be considered adultery? In other words, why say, "except for sexual immorality"? If the previous verses mean exactly that divorcing and marrying another was adultery, like they seem to say, then predication in this verse saying, "except for sexual immorality" would not be said. It would just be the same with or without sexual immorality. Divorce and remarriage would be adultery, full stop. Yet, because it says, "except for sexual immorality", it is pointing to the idea, not that you can divorce someone for sexual immorality, but, that if you divorce for anything other than sexual immorality, your marriage to another woman is considered adulterous.
Notice though that none of this is advocating that it is lawful to divorce. In saying, "Except for sexual immorality", Jesus isn't saying you can get divorced. He is simply describing the consequence of an act of remarrying or what it causes a woman to become if no sexual immorality is present for the divorce. He says at the beginning, "Do not let it happen." He would not go on to say, "But this is how it can happen." Rather, as Paul stated, "To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife." Jesus does not contradict himself. Divorce is a sin, even when there is sexual immorality.

On fornication and adultery (When are you married?):
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
New King James Version
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [a]homosexuals, nor [b]sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
Fornication is a separate sin to homosexuality and adultery. Therefore, if there can be a sin of sex between people of different genders who are not married, then sex itself would not be what makes a person married. Having sex with an already married person is adultery. Having sex with your husband or wife is not a sin. So in order for fornication to be a sin, in which you will not inherit the kingdom of God, it would have to have no bearing on whether you are married or not. Sex, therefor, should not be a mark of what constitutes a recognized marriage. It is the marriage vow, the cultural practice of the union, that should be the sole provider of legitimate marriage. Sex is what yokes people together, but it is not what makes you married. Being of one flesh is not the same as being married. That's why we have marriages. That's why we make vows. The union is more than just physical or the physical act. What happens if a woman or man loses their sexual organ? Would they no longer be married? Does the marriage cease when sex ceases?
"Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."
He does not say the two will become married. Sex is not marriage. It is the physical yoking, not the spiritual one.
