I came across this today and for a reason!!! This right here is why I stand for my husband and our marriage!! This needs circulated!!! Tired of the "modern" churches acting like it's OK!!! AMEN to all of this!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
You are right to stand for your husband and your marriage but pastors have the problem of marriages which are far from all right and maybe several couples who have divorced. The idea that people can remarry in certain circumstances might not be one you agree with but it's Biblical, historical, practical and has the backing of most evangelical leaders.
@@gofigure_1 What you think that the "loophole" refers to is pure surmising, presumably though it does mean something sexual as in Greek that's the meaning of "porneia". But Jesus refers to the "porneia" himself in what he declares in Matthew 19:9, he needn't have even mentioned it if he considered that divorce should NEVER be allowed. No I am NOT on a second marriage and don't ever wish to be but I stand with the majority of Bible-believing commentators who think that at the very least a spouse who has been abandoned or whose partner has committed adultery should be allowed to get divorced and remarry. I think this is both biblical and pastoral and the kind of compassion Jesus would show to the damaged Until I looked things up on the internet I didn't think any believers ever thought anything else (except Catholics who I expect to count their own handed-down doctrines above the teachings of Scripture)
Adultery and divorce is bad enough already, without trying to change the doctrine of the New Testament church to make things even worse. God knows what He is doing. Excuse me, pardon me, please but one flesh is NOT one flesh any longer in the biblical sense, after two male organs penetrate the same female flesh. Why? Jesus said "TWO shall become one flesh." When THREE becomes one flesh because of immorality that invalidates the covenant as God intended it, with only "TWO as one flesh," hence the option for the defrauded male of the exception found in Matthew in two different places in the Holy Bible. Sorry, but I cannot accept your premise that two is three, and three is two.
Amen we need pastors that don’t want to talk about this ( if this makes them uncomfortable⚡️joke , NOT))), to at least have a special speaker as this man as an evangelist to make the rounds in churches all over the continent , we as believers are slipping on a massive slippery slope
@@cliftonharper5224 if what you’re saying here is true, then why do so many pastors across the country, allow for divorce if the offended spouse takes the Matthew 19:9 defense??
Amen! Many of these false pastors in America don't teach this hard truth. I applaud him for standing on the truth of God's Word! Even a 5 year old can understand this clear and true teaching!
@@estherjones4986 not only in your country sister..also in my country where this teaching is not really taught in churches and most of the pastors have also positive outlook of Divorce Remerriage and they don't look at it as an Adultery..
the innocent party may remarry, as the holy spirit directs....a 19 yr old girl who marries an abuser and gets divorced is free to remarry as the lord directs,,,,she doesnt have to be punished the rest of her life for a mistake she made when she was young. a chronic abuser abandons the marriage
@pegc9889 I feel for that innocent person, but where do you get she is directed by the Holy Spirit to remarry? Jesus and Paul said only the death of a spouse can someone remarry.
Absolutely WOW, great teaching, this is the kind of teaching that needs to be taught. He is on fire 🔥 for God in this message this is TRUE SOUND DOCTRINE which is lacking in the majority of churches. Preach it preacher!!!
First time hearing Pastor Harper... And I say ALLELUIA!!!! ONE AMONG ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF PASTORS WHO, READ THE WORD, HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TEACH CORRECTLY, AND FEAR THE LORD TO TELL THE TRUTH! Thank you Pastor Harper! God bless you sir! I wish that I had sought the Lord more carefully on this matter when I had entered into a second marriage at the age of 28. I wonder what my life would have been had a Pastor taught me correctly . After 32 years of marriage, and even though he left, I urgently pleaded with the Lord "Why?". Within 6 months the Lord answered me through a sister in Christ who boldly told me the truth...that I had been living in an adulterous marriage...then the Lord confirmed and BLESSED me through His Mighty Word! Because this is a Salvation matter, I shudder to think that I would not have entered Heaven, (and been soon raptured), had I not repented. Again, thank you Pastor. I pray that the Lord will help many to understand and repent! Matthew 19:11.
I should clarify.... At 16 years old I was forced to be married by my dad/stepmom due to pregnancy. A week after I turned 17 I gave birth to a beautiful boy. Five years later, due to drug addiction and abuse by my husband, we divorced. I remarried 7 years later. By the Word of God, this was the 32 year adultery that would have caused me to go to hell had I not repented prior to my death. God opened my eyes and I repented.. quit the sin! Thank you Lord Jesus for bringing me closer to my salvation! My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge
Amen. Thank you for fighting for the integrity of God's word. Remarriage while one's spouse is alive is adultery, period. There are divisions in my family over this issue but we know that Christ said He did not come to bring peace, but a sword! God bless you 🙏
Brother, you may think you preach the Word of God. However, I hear no love from you about the ones you speak of as "THEY". Jesus said, "love your neighbour, love as I have loved you". He also spoke about not condemning or you will be condemned. I wo nder what you would say to those of us who have been regularly beaten by a mentally ill husband? Shame on YOU!!
Absolutely my convictions and exactly as I would defend the Word concerning this issue that has been very close to my heart and a great concern for the church of our Lord n Saviour Jesus Christ. Thank you for your boldness Pastor. Therefore let us invest IN OUR MARRIAGES.Make them heaven on earth !!!!

Excellent sermon! Judgment begins with His house first. He will build His church (called out ones!) This is truth being spoken!
“And He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her; and if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”” Mark 10:11-12 AMP
Audultery is the only reason God himself allows for remarriage and … as a widow , problem these days is , people are using pornography as a reason as adultery , that is a mental sickness due to lack of communication of the Lord ( and can be fixed with guidance ) , excuse is not good enough to switch to a new spouse
@@puppetlady599 fornication is the only exception in God’s eye when two are betrothed. He gives us an example of this betrothed fornication in Matthew 1:19 when Jospeh was going to put Mary away privately. They were betrothed, so when he found out she was pregnant he had the right to divorce her according to God. That is why the angel of the Lord came to him to let him know she was carrying the Son of God. We do not betroth in America, so there is no exception, an God gives an example in Mark 6:17-18. Herodias divorced her covenant husband, Phillip, and was married to his brother Herod. John the Baptist told Herod it was not right and not lawful to have his brothers wife. Herod and Herodias were clearly committing adultery, but God still called Herodias Phillips wife. We must understand if we are married to someone, who is not bound to another in marriage, then we are their life long spouse until death see Romans 7:2-3 & 1 Corinthians 7:39.

@@noelle457 If they are each other's first marriage, then neither of them has a right to be remarried, otherwise it would be called adultery, and no adulterer will inherit the kingdom of God.
@@unitedt21 it was their both first marriage, they also have a family together. We also have a family, we have been together for the last 7 years before I gave my life to Christ and realized that I was living in fornication. I told my partener that we needed to repent and do the right thing in the eyes of God. The first wife is still alive and she is still cursing her ex husband for the fact that he left her .... As we were planning the marriage I kept on praying to God to show me guidance about my marriage project... Could this be God talking to me ?
He's bold and did say over and over that God hates divorce. I added it to my playlist that has over 400 videos on divorce and remarriage adultery. The "saving for FORNICATION" isn't adultery though but premarital sex. It's specific to Jewish tradition. Scripture says that marriage is only one man to one woman for life- Genesis 2:24. Covenant is for life- Mark 10, Luke 16:18, Romans 7:1-3, 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 & 39. If the man divorces he is breaking God's command, and remarriage is always adultery unless the wife has died. One flesh is for life. Men who divorce for persistent adultery are going to have to live celibate like Hosea did married to a prostitute. Hosea took his wife back. God put away Israel, but He was wanting her to repent and return, so He did not remarry. He will deal with Israel during the Tribulation. The church is bethrothed to Jesus as the Bridegroom and God the Father giving a bride to His Son. Really the Matthew 19 passage is exactly the same as Mark 10, and FORNICATION is only premarital sex during the Jewish marriage betrothal. Joseph was married to Mary and was going to divorce her for FORNICATION. Lot's two daughters were also married though still virgins, and their betrothed husbands were called sons-in-law. Jesus made it new commands the men would not be able to have multiple wives like they were allowed under Mosaic law, and He said we could reconcile even after divorce or had to stay single. In Malachi 2 there is no exception clause for fornication or adultery. God hates divorce and the man who divorces his wife because He wants godly offspring. All these false teachers like he is rebuking will be going into the Tribulation because of Revelation 2 and 1 Thessalonians 4. The churches need to act on 1 Corinthians 5 and remove divorced and remarried people from their fellowship. The time to repent is now!! JESUS IS COMING!!!
If I ever get divorced I will be sad, but I won't remarry. I will remain unmarried and celibate for the rest of my life! I know that the word celibacy is something many fear, but it is not a death sentence! In fact anyone who is single for any reason needs to be partaking in celibacy!
I agree with all that you said except for the fact that if someone sin they will not be saved. We need to be saved because we are sinners. IF you are saved then you are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
@@aservant2287 How convenient of thee Satan! Cherry picking and using a perversion to prove God a liar. This is what God says! 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. "
Thank you Pastor for teaching this very important truth in Holy scripture! My Pastor teaches there is no sin God does not forgive other than blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Can a Christian live in adulterous remarriage after divorce and expect to reach heaven when they die?
We must repent of sin in order to be forgiven. Repentance means that we will cease from doing sin. In the example you have given me you reference Adultery. They can be forgiven of the adultery but they must dissolve their marriage and return to their respective mates. The sin is the adultery and they cannot continue to sin if they wish to see heaven.
Yes they can be forgiven Only if they repent which means turn away from and leave the adulterous marriage, then will God forgive you. You see We have a part to play in repentance. Don’t let the devil deceive you. We only have one chance on earth to make things right. God will see you through to the end whatever you have to do.

There are many pastors who teach this. Check out Joseph Webb on CZcams and David Pawson. There is a channel called In2theLight She teaches all about divorce and remarriage.
I’ve been having trouble planting myself and my family into a church. So I shouldn’t plant myself if the pastor has been remarried? Thank you for this sermon
1 john 2:4 anyone who says that they know Me and doesn't keep My commandments is a liar and the truth is not in them. If the first wife is still alive run.
That's right. A man could find out his wife had committed fornication prior to their marriage (thus the sheet evidence proving she is a virgin from their wedding night) or the wife might have committed some other sexual sin _after_ the marriage like adultery.
@@boltingpuppies Not all women bleed from their first time. If you go by this then that means only women can be found to be sexually immoral and never men (men's virginity can't be proven) and only women can be filed divorce against. Why would God tell us the only way to divorce someone is something that isn't 100% foolproof? Also, it means even if you choose to forgive someone's past indiscretions prior to the marriage, the other spouse will always hold it over the head of the other spouse to divorce them whenever they want with this easy excuse. That does not sound like the God of the Bible at all. There are major flaws with this. God divorced Israel for her adultery, not her fornication. God didn't find out Israel was worshipping some other god before Him. He divorced over adultery *and* idolatry. If God can divorce over adultery and idolatry, so can we. If you can only biblically divorce over sex prior to marriage, then that would imply that God himself has an unbiblical divorce. 🤔🤔
Porneia is a single person's sex sin. If you're mochieo . Porneia group of words in the bible is used to talk about prostitution or marriages that are unlawful such as marrying family member. If you're married the word used is mocheia. If in matthew why didn't they just say if a man divorces his wife except for fornication they commit adultery? Why nit use adultety instead of fornication? Adultery covers the same range of sex sins as fornication. Adultery covers sex with another person an animal . If you have sex with a beast and yoire married its adultery. Same with fornication
I have a question, hope you will be able to reply... My mom came to the realization of the truth regarding the adultery of "remarrige"... that being said I do still have two questions. First; it keeps saying ...except for adultery... OK, so say there was adultery on one side. Then is the other exempted from the original covenant? As in they can go remarry? And then for the second I would just like to clarify one thing. The truth is unchanging truth and cannot contradict itself. So when we read something in the word that looks like it is contradicting another piece of scripture, that means we do not understand one or the other in context. So with that in mind... My second question; 1Cor.7:11 seems to contradict Deut.24:1-4 unless I understand it correctly that if she herself did not then in the time of divorce had relationship of her own with someone else, then she should reconcile with her husband but if she did have a relationship with someone else in that time, then she is cannot go back to her husband...? Deut. 24:1-4 was also then fulfilled with our Messiah first dying on the cross thus now He can marry idolatrous Israel again. For you are only released for marriage covenant when your spouse pass away. So long way of saying, reconciliation is only possible if the divorced couple didn't have any other relationships outside of their marriage in the time of their "divorce". Hope to hear from you. Blessings!
@Roneldebeer1896 ... Many translations do say 'sexual immorality' but to help with true understanding of the Lords intent, turn to King James which says correctly, 'FORNICATION'. . Further, when understanding the marriage laws that JESUS made clear in Matthew .... Matthew 19:9 & 5:32 "exception" only found in Matthew because it was written to the Jews. (But written also for our benefit). This is not an "exception". ...it says "except for FORNICATION" Remember...this is speaking to the Jewish custom of being betrothed....the Lord gives Joseph and Mary as the example....when Joseph was going to grant Mary a 'secret' divorce from their engagement when he thought she had been unfaithful, the Word 'fornication' (pornea) was used. And this agrees with what we know ... FORNICATION (porneia) is of the unmarried ....adultery (MOICHEIA)is regarding the married. This is an important distinction as it refutes this single scripture which others point to as a reason to divorce. God's Word never permits divorce once married to Covenant spouse. The Betrothal View: ebcelkhorn.com/divorce-and-remarriage-the-major-views-cont/ To address Dueteronomy question: Those who are in Christ Jesus are no longer under Mosaic Law, which by the way, was given to the people of Israel.: 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 The Glory of the New Covenant 7 The old way, with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away. 8 Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life? 9 If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God! 10 In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new way. 11 So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever! 12 Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away. 14 But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. 15 Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand. 16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord-who is the Spirit-makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
So, only divorce if you've been cheated on? And only remarry if your ex-spouse is dead? Otherwise, you are committing adultery? and never have sex again unless you remarry, cause that is fornication? can someone explain?
The Bible implies that abandonment is also cause for divorce; this can be when a verbally or physically abusive spouse refuses to change and a separation must occur. God hates divorce, but we live in a fallen world and people make mistakes. The Lord has sent new spouses into the lives of many divorced Christians, some have been happily remarried for decades, even in ministry. They confess the sin and God FORGIVES❤ They do NOT live in a perpetual state of adultery.
@@pegc9889 You are incorrect Peg. 1 Corinthians 7 is saying that if the unbelieving spouse leaves, let them go...you are not under bondage to try and make them stay. But to make that to mean you can remarry would contradict everything else Jesus said about remarriage. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 10 But for those who are married, I have a command that comes not from me, but from the Lord. A wife must not leave her husband. 11 But if she does leave him, let her remain single or else be reconciled to him. And the husband must not leave his wife. *** GOD DOES PROVIDE A WAY FOR THE ABUSED....ONLY TWO OPTIONS...REMAIN SINGLE OR BE RECONCLED. Mark 10:10-12 10 Later, when he was alone with his disciples in the house, they brought up the subject again. 11 He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. 12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries someone else, she commits adultery.” Luke 16:18 18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. Romans 7:1-3 7 Now, dear brothers and sisters-you who are familiar with the law-don’t you know that the law applies only while a person is living? 2 For example, when a woman marries, the law binds her to her husband as long as he is alive. But if he dies, the laws of marriage no longer apply to her. 3 So while her husband is alive, she would be committing adultery if she married another man. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law and does not commit adultery when she remarries. ***ONLY DEATH ENDS THE MARRIAGE COVENANT...THEN YOU ARE FREE TO MARRY, "BUT ONLY IN THE LORD."
Very simple Adultery breaks covenant and divorce is acceptable especially when no death penalty for adultery for if there was the guilty party would be dead and so the covenant is terminated.if an offended party chooses to forgive God bless them but they are not under law to have to. Otherwise seperate for peace and then be reconciled to ones spouse.... VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND hard to live out. Married is hard Single is hard Life is hard 🙏❤
I have learned that Divorce simply means "separation". A divorce in the State courts does not break God's life-long covenant of marriage. And yes, things were somewhat less complicated, when the guilty parties were stoned for adultery.
Not death only, or do we have a new covenant and put away the adulterous wife and take on a new covenant gentile wife haha no its clear a covenant issevered with unfaithfulness
Their is no where in bible that says adultery dissolves marriage bond. If that were the case all one spouse would have to do is cheat and divorce the innocent partner.
I been trying to tell my wife this for 5 yrs but some people let the devils ways come before God. Millions will end up in hell on marriage alone. I pray people would listen to the true word of God. The sad thing is I have ask preachers to talk to my wife and none will do so. So maybe some day I can find a preacher that will speak the truth to my wife.
Sweet brother, God is the one that will have to speak to her heart and open her heart to receive this truth. I lost count of how many people I have told about God’s truth on remarriage being adultery, if spouse is still alive, and they have rejected it. We must do the most powerful thing God has given us, pray for them.
Yes and just watch. Satan will be ruthless on that first marriage, he wants so badly to wreck it at least in these days. There was a time when people who didn’t profess to be Christian who stayed together but that was before Satan was able to deceive us into believing divorce was ok and then judges and pastors went along with it. But just watch. The 2nd marriage comes along and look at them now. They’re claiming to be saved! Going to church! People smile on them. Pastors invite them with open arms into their churches. Soon they are even taking part and holding offices in the church. Oh terrible deception. Satan does not care if you go to church, not if he already has you. He will even encourage you to become a deacon. Take active part in church and other outreaches. All the while he will rub his hands together and laugh until you are screaming in hell. We have to wake up! Gods word is boss here not American culture. Not “church” culture. Not what everyone else is doing. Don’t be taken in by these remarried people telling you how happy they are. Many of them are in doubts, many of them fear. But since “everyone else” does it, their conscience is quieted somewhat. A lady I know who lost her husband remarried a divorced man and he is very religious (prior to this I don’t know if the lady had any experience with God) but she was reading the Bible and came across those marriage scriptures and she confronted her new “husband” and he laughed it off and made an excuse. She told me this. Quite some time later I acquired a book on the subject and asked her if I could lend it to her. Immediately I could see it in her eyes, that she has been troubled about this ever since we had talked. Yes! She said. I would love to read that book. So take courage, people do think about this but so often they take the fleshly way.
Hey brother the letter kills but the spirit gives life. If you want to fix it, send her an honest letter of how you want to focus on the future and how you plan to help her
No no no! Don't get a divorce! But also realize that the sin which sends you to hell is rejecting the gospel. The Bible says for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The Bible says The wages of sin is death We are all going to die because we have all sinned But the Eternal punishment or your sins is hell when you reject the free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ The sinless Son of God Jesus Christ died in your place on the cross he paid for your sins with his sinless blood He descended first into the lower part of the earth and then he rose from the grave Jesus conquered death and hell for all sinners who would believe the gospel which is the death burial and resurrection of Jesus When you believe the gospel God takes away your sin and gives you the righteousness of Jesus Christ God no longer sees your sin anymore he sees the righteousness of his Son By faith you are born again of the Spirit of God which indwells the believer you are saved by the power of God and you are kept saved by the power of God 1st Peter chapter 1 Ephesians2:8-9 Titus 3:5 Romans 8

No remarriage after a divorce! If any divorce is a sin then what about abandoned spouses? They tried to keep their marriage but if the other spouse abandoned them there is nothing they can do. They must remain single always.
It'I say if they get one teaching wrong then their whole doctrine is incorrect. I tell you it's so hard to find a firm and straightforward teacher in this area
I don't see how grace and forgiveness really means anything, to any sinner, for any sin, if they are held in condemnation. Why would anyone bother with Christianity who need to start their life over? Here's a question for you. An unmarried person guilty of a lesser murder charge finally gets out of jail. They repent and turn their heart to Jesus fervently. They end up getting married. This person doesn't have to be celibate, but someone who has had a failed marriage does?
This Pastor is good; however, Adultery is NOT grounds for divorce Luke 16:18; The marriage covenant is permanent Romans 7:2; Divorce does NOT end a marriage; it might legally but not spiritual with God. Other than that he has almost perfect.
Well it did in the Old Testament, the Matthew 19 passage doesn't have Jesus saying that what was in the law was WRONG just that it was a concession to the hard-hearted. Adultery would under the law allow someone to remarry because the guilty spouse would have been put to death so the innocent party was quite free to remarry. If divorce doesn't end a marriage and it's "spiritual with God" how is a spouse's death any different? I think Paul is being quite practical in 1 Corinthians 7, that believers should not divorce BUT if an unbeliever walks away from the marriage the Christian is free to remarry, they are "not bound" (verse 15). Why do these teachers want good Christian people to be held and bound by the infidelity and abandonment of others?
@@utubemedward1 Problem is when you look at Deuteronomy 24 it's quite clear that divorce DID end a marriage and the wife was free to remarry anyone EXCEPT the original husband! The problem wasn't that Moses was in conflict with God but that the Pharisees of Jesus' time were looking for a loophole beyond what Deuteronomy permits to allow almost free divorce to the disadvantage of women, of course. People are being Pharisees in the opposite direction and trying to say that there can never be divorce and remarriage in any situation and this is simply not what scripture teaches, especially when there is adultery and/or abandonment. I am not alone, most believing pastors and Bible scholars see it this way too and the "hard-liners" bring disgrace to Christ and the church by advocating that remarried couples get ANOTHER divorce!
@@neilmccall5311 Where people are misunderstanding; it ended the engagement to the espoused wife not married wife; if he finds any uncleanliness in her being not a virgin; God said in Genesis not to separate the marriage covenant under any conditions; no exceptions offered. Period.
Put away does not mean divorce. Twisting of God's word is evil. To live under the illogical assumption that a woman should raise children alone is making God unjust and unfair. God does not want a woman abused or controlled simply because she made a mistake.
"Putting away DOES in fact mean "divorce": "It hath been said, Whosoever shall PUT AWAY his wife, let him give her a writing of DIVORCEMENT:" Matthew 5:31 KJV "But I say unto you, That whosoever shall PUT AWAY his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is DIVORCED committeth adultery." Matthew 5:32 KJV Now, for you to DENY that "put away" means "divorce", is to call God a liar.
@@MoonPhaze5 Wow! So you think that verse means "It hath been said, Whosoever shall DIVORCE his wife, let him give her a writing of DIVORCEMENT:" In what language does that make any sense at all? Give him a divorce then give him a written divorce? Why would that not be "It hath been said, Whosoever shall SEPARATE FROM his wife, let him give her a writing of DIVORCEMENT:" Man, the devil has you people doing all sorts of hating for him. And you can't even see it. BTW if you can read, you can look up the Hebrew word "shalach" and the Greek word "apoluo" and notice for yourself you are following man's word not God's Word! No excuses for doing the work of the devil for him. He loves this bondage you slam people into! Stop telling people that God hates them! He hates separation (putting away) because it leads to divorce.
This is legalism..... So if the woman remarries she is now an adulterer, righr? So while remarried to the second husband the first husband dies.. .is she STILL AND ADULTERER?
Hello sister. It's not legalism. It's the Word of God. The time of grace is not the time for licence to sin because God is love. Our Father is also The just Juge, and The Bible declare that The jugement will be according to justice. If the first husband dies, his death does not cancel the initial sin of divorce and remarriage. As for any sinning our life, we have to confess it to God, and He will forgive us. And if we want to stay in that second marriage, we can because the original husband is dead. Sis, we ought to be careful , and try to know God for Who He truly is, to what we think He is. God bless
@@ecolefoyer174 I am glad you said that the death of the husband does not cancel the sin. It is the blood of our saviour that cancels the sin. So whether the first husband is dead or not the efficacy of the blood is still in tact which means the remarriage is ALSO COVERED BY THE BLOOD in a condition of repentance. While the first husband was alive she was considered an adulterer? But he dies and now she is suddenly not an adulterer? Thats NOT biblical! She is free through repentance. Jesus NEVER addressed the woman at the well as an adulterer even though she had 5 husbands and the one she was with now was not her husband. If her remarriage 4+ times was a case of her possibly missing eternal life, wouldnt Jesus point out her "adulteress" condition? We need to stop reading God's word through the lens of legalism and let the Holy Spirit interpret scripture for us. Paul said it remain where you are once you come into the body of Christ 1 Cor. 7:20. The church needs to stop with the legalism and let the Holy spirit help people work out their salvation And sanctification! I know the one true and living God VERY WELL !❤
This guy has it right except for Matthew 5:32; Fornication (Premarital Immorality) while betrothed in Jewish culture; not marital unfaithfulness; Marital Adultery is NOT grounds for divorce unfortunately (Luke 16:18); after the marriage is consumated, there is NO divorce allowed at all. One other thing; Divorce IS Sin; Romans 7:2 The wife must NOT leave the Husband for she is in covenant to him for life; NO EXCEPTIONS. I've been in fights with Pastors over this; I am sick of this divorcing in the church; enough!!!
Hello, What if a woman was taught incorrectly and got a divorce because she misinterpreted the scripture about fornication. In your opinion, is this something that can be repented for as long as she does not remarry?
@@tryingtogetitright6038 Repenting is to reconcile the covenant; if not possible; then you're to remain alone. All this is not my opinion; it is what the KJV and Greek say.
A hard but true fact I guess, it's a bummer for me. Especially when me & my ex wife were not happy & she would never get back with me. I understand I'm just bound to christ until then, however I will also be bound to frustration as I have been the past 4 years.
Never say never. God is a God of the impossible. Stand for your marriage with fasting and prayer. Let God renew you and heal you and ask that He does the same for her. Blessings to you brother. Not your timing but His perfect timing.
Separation is abandonment and is ground for divorce. The Lord has sent new spouses into the lives of many divorced Christians. Ideally, divorce and remarriage should not occur, but we live in a fallen world and we make mistakes. Christians confess the sin and God FORGIVES❤ Remarried couple would NOT live in perpetual adultery.
The Lord has sent new spouses to many divorced Christians, some have been happily remarried for decades, even in ministry. They confess the sin and He FORGIVES❤ They do NOT live in perpetual adultery. It's important to ask the Holy Spirit for a new spouse and let Him guide.
But we are also accountable for WHY we don't know....bibles are free and it's in the Gospels, words in red. Many people say they love Jesus, but are too lazy to read the Word. Once we are aware, we have to repent and sin no more.
So if your spouse commits adultery or remarries after divorce, are you then after spouse remarries another, is it okay to remarry someone else? Or must you remain single for life or reconcile with the adulterous spouse after he finds and seeks Jesus?
This is crazy. Mark 3:29 its not the unpardonable sin & if the reason for divorce is fornication alone. 1 Cor 7:15 if the unbelieving spouse leaves you are free. We are not bound it says. Divorce is only permitted for fornication Jesus said. If a person divorced their spouse for BS reasons like my ex did to me he committed adultery and he makes his wife an adulterer IF divorce is not for fornication. I've been divorced 4 years and celibate. My ex husband is with someone else. He has already been defiled, so on grounds of his fornication, I'm free to marry only in the Lord. Also I married out of the faith as I wasn't close to God then, my marriage was counterfeit from the start. Only in the Lord do things hold together the Bible says. People forget the mass divorce God ordained in Ezra 10. Israeli men had children with these pagan women and God told them to depart. Yes, God hates divorce! Lets also remember divorce is not the unpardonable sin! Theres only 1 sin God won't forgive: blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Granted if the unbelieving spouse is willing to stay with you, you stay married it says in NT.If not you let them go, the verse says we don't know if we can save them. Anyway I've included God in the selection process this time and my true husband's name was revealed after I prayed silently in my mind (as I didn't want Satan answering me) for 9 mo and 27 days & on the 27th day He answered. I now wait for my God ordained spouse. I don't date. In my grief the Lord revealed the state of my then soon to be ex husband by expressing His bewilderment pain frustration and love in His voice for me stated: "HES NOT WORTHY OF YOU!" That was shocking to hear but the most loveliest words God revealed to me. I didn't think so at the time. I was angry. It was after this I kept inquiring for months about who is worthy of me in grieved prayers. God truly is near the broken hearted. Inquire always of the Lord, people like to add or inadvertently add to the scriptures. You want God's understanding and resolution on your personal life--not a fallible human's interpretation. There's no place that states after your unfaithful spouse married someone else you are supposed to wait for them. That's absurd. I know every situation is different they have been people who married other people and then they both of their 2nd spouses leave/cheat and then the two original spouses reconcile years later but not everybody's case is the same that's why I always recommend inquire of the Lord first. Hope you never have to experience divorce, sometimes it feels like I'll always have a sadness in me. I never wanted to experience this. I wish I never selected a spouse and consulted the Lord first! I'm nervous about my God ordained spouse. You know something is of the Lord when what you heard from God comes to pass. That was the answer when I asked in my mind: "Lord, how do I know this is from you?" His Response: "When it comes to pass." That is a Biblical answer. Until then I wait, can't bear the pain of a wrong marriage ever again!
@@leenab7109 thank you for your response! I am new to Christianity and have to learn how to ask God to speak, how to hear God and understand what he said. I have a lot to learn. I really appreciate your explanation.
@@findingtruth9046 No problem I'm still learning myself! God has been silent for three months and I'm having a hard time as I am nervous about what I explained to you. I don't know what it means. Please pray for me :) I need guidance from Him. God Bless you!

People why would you want to do something that God HATES🤔 ASK YOUR SELF WOULD YOU WANNA TAKE THAT CHANCE WHEN IT'S TIME TO MEET CHRIST 🤔...HARD HEARTS🖤
Adultery is not the unforgivable sin. If people use that as an excuse to divorce it is because of their hard hearts. People don’t want to stand for their marriages or forgive but they expect to be forgiven. I am speaking as a person who knows both the darkness of cheating and the pain of being cheated on. Marriage is a covenant from God to represent God’s unconditional love for us. That even undeserved He chooses to love us, not the world’s definition of love (conditional) but His definition in 1 Corinthians 13. It is because of our hard hearts we run straight to divorce instead of a separation where we can allow God to make a way where we see no way. He is either God of the impossible or He is not. I am standing for my marriage now and I pray that God would raise up an army of Godly people who would be able to advice people in God’s way for those who need guidance in marriage hardships. The enemy is targeting marriages because he knows the great threat a Godly marriage is to his dark kingdom. If a Man and Woman raise their children in God’s ways, the devil will not sit back and just let it be. Let’s pray for marriage to be brought back to God’s original plan with NO divorce.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10---Know ye not that the unrighteous SHALL NOT inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Each case is different, the Holy Spirit must guide. But when a spouse commits adultery, the marriage vows are broken. Yes, there should always be forgiveness, but they doesnt mean that the marriage has to continue. Separating from a spouse is a form of abandonment, and scripture seems to give cause for divorce for this. The Lord has sent new spouses into the lives of many divorced Christians. Once they confess the sin, God FORGIVES❤ They do NOT live in a perpetual state of adultery
@@pegc9889 When you start by saying "each case is different", sounds like you are putting your ideas first before God. I can bet you are an Adulterer, since you lie on God by saying that"The Lord has sent new spouses into the lives of many divorced Christians". A true believer is obedient and dares not to sacrifice the truth in order to pursue carnality. Adulterous will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God (I Corinthians 6:9-10).
I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery. --God himself, Jeremiah 3:8
I got married when I considered myself atheist. My then wife wasn’t Christian either. We were not married in a church or by a preacher but a yoruba ceremony. She is now remarried . We are divorced and I am now a follower of Christ. Can I remarry and still be righteous?
@@heavenlychildren5765 That’s what I was thinking. Two non believers cannot enter a covenant with God is what I figured. Thank you. You wouldn’t believe how many ppl I have asked that are afraid to say what you just told me.
Let us go to the Word of God for your answer. Mark 6:17-18 “For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias sake, his brother Phillip’s wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, it is not lawful for thee to have they brothers’s wife.” We know that Phillip, Herodias, and Herod are not Christians and they probably did not get married in a church, but God still expected them to honor what God made as one flesh. Twice John the Baptist told Herod that it was not right for him to be with his brothers wife. Man made rules on marriage that does not come from God. If a man and woman come together in agreement to be husband and wife, and they are not bound to another in marriage, then God makes them one flesh. See Genesis 2:24; Mark 10:5-9; Matthew 19:4-6. In 1 Corinthians 7:39 & Romans 7:2-3 tells us we are bound to our Covenant spouse till death. Jesus tells us in Mark 10:11-12; Luke 16:18; Matthew 19:8-9 that “whosoever” marries someone divorced is in adultery and Romans 7:3 that if you marry someone else, while your spouse is still alive she shall be called an adulterous. This is an eternity issue, because in Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Corinthians 6-11; Ephesians 5:3-5 tells us those who are choosing to live in adultery will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. The world will tell you get remarried it is no big deal, but God tells us you will perish in a second death (lake of fire) for adultery. Who are you going to believe God or man?? The choice is yours and it will effect where you spend eternity. I pray this answers your question.
@@toniadaniels106 Thank you for your interpretation of the scriptures. But for a very serious matter like this, I will take them as they read directly; Mark 10:9 “What therefore God hatch joined together let no man put asunder.” Matt 19:6 “What therefore GOD hath put together…” 1 Cor 7:39 “…only in the Lord” Romans 7:2-3 You pointed out but there is context that you left out which is in verse 1 “For I speak to them that knows the law” This is Paul addressing the church. Also I’m not sure if it’s a matter of context you missed but the story about John being arrested had nothing to do with divorce being the issue as the word or description was never used. The issue was him marrying his brothers wife. Not even sure if they WERE divorced I t sounds as though he just TOOK the poor man’s wife. So as I said I will follow the scriptures as written as I always have, but thank you again.
@@piptheprofit1004 so many self righteous people on here. Do not go by man’s interpretation- fast and pray to the almighty. I was abandoned by my husband and I tried to reconcile, told him that o would even accept his new daughter. He ignored me and basically told me I’ll meet someone new. I have struggled with this issue and have come to same conclusion as you. I’m currently considering marring a godly man we are both equally yoked. When I fast It helps me to see his will not mine. Currently I’m slowly finding out man’s interpretation is indeed flawed. Go to the lord he will always direct you right.
Do what you are supposed to do. Love with the love of God. Forgive and help her. God hasn't stopped loving her neither should you. If she repents God will forgive her so should you. This is the best scenerio.
This is correct! We get only 1 marriage covenant. You don't get multiple marriage covenants. YAH calls Every 2nd marriage adultry. Only death of a spouse breaks that covenant. Then you are free to remarry if and only when a spouse dies! That is the only thing that breaks a marriage covenant

Meat cannot defile us. Jesus specifically said so: Mar 7:18 - "And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; 19 - Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all MEATS? 20 - And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man."
@@choch4075 I agree with resting on Sabbath. It's the only 1 of the 10 commandments that is discarded, but it's the easiest because it's a gift not a burden. You have to do less, not more, lol.
@@acolley2891 The scripture tells us they were eating *'bread'* with unwashed hands (not meat/flesh). The greek word translated as 'meat' actually means 'food'. So eating 'food' without ceremonially washing the hands will not defile you...the body cleans the dirt off of the food and the dirt goes out into the toilette (drought). Food is defined for us in Leviticus 11. Unclean animals are *not food.* At Christ's second coming he is going to destroy believers who are eating unclean animals per Isaiah 65. Not keeping God's commandments is what defiles us (adulteries, coveting, etc.). Eating food (as God has defined food) with unwashed hands does not defile us. That is not what makes us dirty/defiled.
1 Cor 7:10-11-- Although the text of these two verses address the wife, the same applies to the husband. The Holy Spirit, through the apostle Paul, commands that the departing spouse remain unmarried or be reconciled to the other. It is also implied that if either remarries someone other than the first spouse, he/she must return to the first and be reconciled through forgiveness of each other. Then live a life devoted to God and each other. Clif can probably break this down better.
That’s not exactly true. God said that after a divorce, you cannot go back to the first spouse. Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. Deuteronomy 24:4
@@clarkdtalbot, the context of Deut 24:4 is if the wife which had been sent away marries another man and he gives her a bill of divorcement or he dies, the first husband "may not take her again to be his wife." The context is referring to the first husband "putting her away" for some reason other than adultery (which was a common tradition of that time). Adultery in the early history of the nation of Israel was punishable by death, thus the situation here is not one of adultery, but rather for whatever the first husband determined to be any shameful act by her. This was the reason God gave as to why the first husband could not take her to be his wife again. Jesus and Paul both clarify the old law and established a more strict law concerning marriage, divorce, and remarriage.
We live in a time that our society goes against God's instructions on divorce and remarriage. What is worse is that many pastors are not teaching this salvation issue. Because of this sad reality there will soon be many, many people who really thought that they would be caught up to Heaven in the Rapture...including so many pastors ....but they will be shocked....SHOCKED when they realized that they were left behind only to face the Tribulation...the most harsh persecution this world has ever seen. They will be shocked that their pastors did not teach them correctly. How could this be? Is your Pastor teaching that those who are divorced from a first time marriage with a still living spouse are actually in adultery and on their way to Hell? If not, then please read to the end just to see if you might agree with the Word and be saved. FIRST.... WHAT IS A COVENANT MARRIAGE? Matthew 19:6 For this reason, a man will leave his father and his mother and will live with his wife. So they are no longer two but ONE FLESH. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” THEY ARE ONE FLESH! Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. SECOND.... WHAT THE LORD SAYS ABOUT DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE Footnotes: 'except for 'fornication' (greek=pornea') = (NOT MARRIED) The oldest English version is Wycliff and agrees with KJV. Matthew 19:9 Wycliffe Bible 9 And I say to you, that whoever leaveth his wife, but for fornication, and weddeth another, doeth lechery [doeth adultery]; and he that weddeth the forsaken wife, doeth lechery [doeth adultery]. Matthew 19:9 KJV. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. Matthew was written directed to the Jews. We must look at the Jewish audience at the time when this was written to understsnd JESUS' intent. At that time it was Jewish custom to be betrothed, ie... engaged. Scriptures give Joseph and Mary as the example. They were betrothed...In that day the betrothal sealed the commitment prior to the marriage ceremony. When Joseph found that Mary was pregnant, he had it in his mind to "divorce" her privately because he thought she had committed fornication. So, if we go to the Greek translation (New Testiment) we have to look at the intent of the meaning, 'accept for fornication'... What? How can they "divorse" if they had not been married... (fornication is "before marriage" greek fornication= pornea / greek adultery=moicheuó ). So to conclude, it would be easy to understand, (because of the time frame and Jewish culture of that day) that if you found the other to have committed fornication, then yes, God would allow "divorce"....before marriage ceremony. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 10 But for those who are married, I have a command that comes not from me, but from the Lord. A wife must not leave her husband. 11 But if she does leave him, let her remain single or else be reconciled to him. And the husband must not leave his wife. Malachi 2:16 For I hate divorce,” says the Lord, the God of Israel, “and him who covers his garment with wrong,” says the Lord of hosts. “So take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.” Mark 10:10-12 10 Later, when he was alone with his disciples in the house, they brought up the subject again. 11 He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. 12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries someone else, she commits adultery.” Romans 7:1-3 7 Now, dear brothers and sisters-you who are familiar with the law-don’t you know that the law applies only while a person is living? 2 For example, when a woman marries, the law binds her to her husband as long as he is alive. But if he dies, the laws of marriage no longer apply to her. 3 So while her husband is alive, she would be committing adultery if she married another man. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law and does not commit adultery when she remarries. WHAT THE LORD SAYS IS THE CONSEQUENCE OF REMARRIAGE WITH A LIVING COVENANT SPOUSE: Proverbs 14:12 12 There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. Proverbs 6:32 But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, (fornication/sex of unmarried) or who worship IDOLS, or commit ADULTERY, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people-none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. THIS MESSAGE IS HARD TO GIVE TO THIS ADULTEROUS WORLD ...WHO CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS AND THINK THAT THEY ARE SAVED! PASTORS...IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO GIVE THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR FLOCK AND BRING THEM TO REPENTANCE ....SECURING THEIR SALVATION! PASTORS...PLEASE REPENT FOR MARRYING DIVORCED/ REMARRIED PEOPLE!

ALLELUIA!
Scripture clearly teaches: anyone who divorces and remarries while their covenant (original) spouse is still living (with the exception of fornication) is an adulterer or adulteress (Matthew 5:31-32, Matthew 19:3-9, Mark 10:2-12, Luke 16:18, Roman's 7:2-3, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 1 Corinthians 7:10-15, 1 Corinthians 7:39). In addition, scripture clearly teaches in order to receive God's mercy one must repent or they will perish (Luke 13:3). According to Proverbs 28:13, repentance has two elements confessing AND forsaking our sins: "People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess AND turn from them, they will receive mercy." Remaining in an adulterous remarriage is not repentance. The liar has to repent and stop lying; the thief has to repent and stop stealing; the homosexual has to repent and stop committing homosexual acts; and the remarried adulterer and adulteress has to repent and stop committing adultery. Sharing the scriptural truth regarding divorce and remarriage infuriates those who are supposed to be followers of Christ. The words of Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul anger his alleged followers like no other topic. Perhaps it's time to obey Jesus and to begin believing He means exactly what He says. Most importantly, ALL sins are unforgivable without genuine repentance...including remaining in adulterous remarriage. According to the clear, easy-to-understand words of scripture, Jesus most definitely sends unrepentant adulterers and adulteresses to the lake of fire. It's time to confess and forsake adulterous remarriage.
God Picked Paul for a reason Paul was very well versed in the law and spoke different languages, but he spoke as if everyone had his knowledge so we get this 2 Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Do you see that? If we are not stable in scripture we wrestle with Paul's epistles. So if I look at Divorce in Deut.24:1-4 and I don't take into account the following I'm not stable 1. Adultery had it's own law Lev.20:10 2. The process of marriage Deut.22:13-21 3. When women can not be put away Deut.22:19,29 In today's world where people divorce for any reason they can think of, we should keep in mind Romans 7:1-3, Matt.19:9, 1COR.7:10-11, Deut.24:4, 1COR.7:39.
Thank you for that Brother but Jeremiah chapter 3 says Israel Justified itself more than Judah, and that is by returning to God once she was divorced. So once she returned she started to backslide and commit adultery. Look at Deut.24:1-4 and Jeremiah chapter 3 and take note of the pollution. Remember divorce is due to fornication before marriage, not adultery.
Just to be absolutely clear: 'divorce' is *only* in the case of "fornication," not adultery! The way that 'married' people fornicate is during the engagement, and one the wedding night it's determined that they wife is not a virgin; at that point only can the husband 'divorce' his wife, if he so chooses; but after that - he cannot, and there would be adultery if they try to.
Divorce and remarriage was legal for any reason according to levitical law. But according to Jesus a divorced women is an adulterer if she remarries. And a man who chooses to divorce his wife and remarry is an adulterer. So the only innocent is the man whose wife divorced him who remarries.
@@auh2o148 Mathew 19 and Luke 16. 9. `And I say to you, that, whoever may put away his wife, if not for whoredom, and may marry another, doth commit adultery; and he who did marry her that hath been put away, doth commit adultery.` (Matthew, 19) 18. `Every one who is sending away his wife, and marrying another, doth commit adultery; and every one who is marrying her sent away from a husband doth commit adultery. (Luke, 16) So the only exception is a Man may marry if the women chooses to leave him. But men were allowed multiple wives anyways. But... They could not divorce them for another or it would be considered adultery
@@samuelswenson1505 I don't know what translation you're using, but that word "whoredom" should be "fornication." Replace it and reread what I wrote. Anyway, there is separation but NO divorce.
@@auh2o148 Well either way. Jesus said if we desire women we are adulterers at heart. So I'd argue anyone who gets married for any reason is actually an adulterer. So you just have to ask yourself what the lesser of two evils is? To want endlessly? Or to have legally for good reasons?
So if all of this is true, then despite my past adultery, having reconciled to the Lord for almost 3 years now, how is my wife allowed to divorce me now? We’ve been separated since July of 2019 but last week she said she wants to move forward with divorce. Her woke pastor and his wife prayed with her and support her decision. What the heck am I missing here? Her church, I don’t go there any more because they’re woke and fraudulent, have stated from day 1 that she is entitled to divorce because of infidelity as per Matthew 19:9. Somebody please help me get this right? Thanks
I am sorry to hear about your troubles. As we forgive so shall we be forgiven, Matt. 6:12, 14. If you have repented and asked forgiveness I would encourage her to forgive you and take you back. God tells us to learn to be godly and follow the example of Jesus which includes forgiveness. How many times do we sin in our lives and we expect God to forgive us and take us back, His explanation is 7 times 70 in one day. This too is a lesson for us to learn to follow in our relationship with one another. Some like to say that they forgive but don't really want to get back together, I question the sincerity of their forgiveness. How would we fell if God told us that He forgives us but doesn't really want to have a relationship anymore? Explain this to her and I will pray for you.
God tells us to stay unmarried or go back to spouse 1 Corinthians 7:11. I have been standing for my husband for over 5 years and God has blessed me for my obedience.

They’ll happily advise for divorce or abortion simply because they preach that God forgives and he “understands” then they add … “he knows your heart” that’s pure evil .. if I were you .. ask you wife to give you a time to be a husband as a farewell gift .. and that you won’t insist on making her stay . It’s inevitable that women will first divorce in their mind and it’s a matter of days before they carry it out with support from their female herd. I’m almost certain she’s got single friends egging her on. You must pray like your life depends on it
Best thing ever to read on this critical subject is Leslie McFall's thesis THE BIBLICAL TEACHING ON DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE, McFall demolishes every single argument ever made by anybody who tries to defend divorce-remarriage. Millions are on their way to hell for their presumption and lack of love for the Word of God.
Divorce is not a sin and is not explicitly forbidden in the Bible. Divorce can't send a person to hell if A.) it's not even a sin and B.) sins don't send a person to hell. Rejecting Jesus does. This is ridiculous.
God clearly permits remarriage after the death of a spouse and actually encourages remarriage for younger widows (Romans 7:1-3, 1 Corinthians 7:8-9,27-28,39-40; 5:11-16). The only qualification for the remarriage of a widow is that the new spouse must be a Christian (1 Corinthians 7:39, 2 Corinthians 6:14). Modern western churches don’t teach on this at all
The Pharisees were trying to find a legal excuse to divorce a faithful wife. And that's what Jesus addressed. The heart issue. They had adulterous hearts. However, Jesus never addressed the issue of abusive marriages. Nor the issue of abandonment. But Paul did, in 1 Cor 7. If an unbeliever is not pleased to dwell with a believing spouse, and abandons her _(and no believer would, because whoever doesn't provide for his own has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel)_ then she is not under bondage in such a case. 1 Cor 7 is ALL about marriage, divorce, and remarriage. When Paul talks about slavery in the middle of the discussion is STILL about marriage. Because that's the context on both ends of it. There is no worse slavery than being married to an abusive partner. Especially in a "church" that says you have to stay there, even if he sexually abuses the kids! (And yes, a dear friend of mine was in that kind of church!) But Paul says, "If you may be made free, use it rather!" 1 Cor 7:21 This does not mean only separation. It means freedom. God gave a directive in Deut 24: if a man separates from his wife, he is REQUIRED to give her divorce papers! ...WHY? - so she can remarry! Now, the New Testament says the Law is HOLY, AND JUST AND GOOD. Rom 7:12 Paul even said that under the New Covenant, he couldn't have known sin, except by the Law! And 1 John 3:4 says the definition of sin today is "the transgression of the Law." So don't try to tell me the Law didn't have a high enough standard, defining what sin is! The Word of God is forever settled in heaven. What God said once was holy, is forever holy. Including Deut 24! And don't twist Romans 7 to make it say a divorced woman is still married until her ex dies... it isn't talking about divorce. The subject in Romans 7 is how DEATH affects marriage, and how that relates to freedom from sin. It's not talking about divorce at all. Back to 1 Cor 7: have you ever noticed Paul talks to 4 groups of people? And what applies to one group does not apply to another group! He talks to (1) Christians married to Christians, (2) Christians married to unbelievers, (3) the unmarried and widows, and (4) virgins. Each group had separate instructions. The unmarried and widows were a special group who were NOT included in the "virgin" category! Why did Paul group the unmarried and the widows separately? Because they were "used to be married" folks!! This is the divorced group. Remember, divorce was extremely common in the first century, in all cultures. Jewish, Greek, and Romans. They all divorced and remarried a lot! And yet, in all the New Testament, you have NO special instructions telling those who were coming into the church as divorced, that they had to remain single. Why? Because it wasn't an issue! Paul said to divorced people: 1 Cor 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. Thank God. The New Testament does not have a stricter law than the Old. Jesus came to give us freedom. Not more rules.
No 1. 1 Corithians 7. A wife is bound..... So that already overrides your Romans. No 2. It is better to marry than burn with lust. NOT IT IS BETTER TO REMARRY..... JEEPERS.
When Pharisees asked Jesus about Moses they asked about divorce. Jesus did not reply on divorce he talks passed them and takes them back to the beginning. Meaning God set the bar for Marriage Not Moses. We are not under the Mosaic law..
When Moses conceded divorce to hardhearted men he did so for peace sake, just like Paul in 1 Cor.7:15. When Jesus made a reference to this fact (Matthew 19:8) He was not criticizing Moses (as claimed by some), He was actually being critical of hardheartedness. Jesus’ following remarks “but from the beginning it was not so” (8b) revealed to the Pharisees that divorce was foreign to God’s creative design for marriage(4-6). This masterfully exposed the calloused hearts of the Pharisees for wanting to divorce their wives for all kinds of subjective reasons and it revealed to them that they were transgressing God’s will for marriage by prematurely ending it. Divorce then causes an inadvertent consequence for remarriage. In the sermon on the mount Jesus revealed to His covenant people Israel that by divorcing their wives (which were allowed to remarry Deut. 24:2) they were causing them to commit adultery (Matthew 5:32). In the Patriarchal society of Israel men were causing their wives to commit this manner of adultery, that is to commit adultery by defaulting on “the law of her husband” set forth by marriage itself (Romans 7:2b) KJV. Because marriage sets forth the responsibility of lifetime faithfulness, divorce and remarriage will transgress that obligation. Jesus revealed to Israel the consequences of prematurely ending a marriage. In the Patriarchal society of Israel men who initiated divorce were the ones guilty of the ensuing adultery of their former wives when they remarried (Matthew 5:32). This adultery was not the adultery of being unfaithful while married which was punishable by stoning. This adultery happens exactly how Jesus describes it in the text. These TRUTHS are overlooked by “divorce to repent” (DTR) advocates (those who teach that the divorced and remarried should divorce). Jesus is directly speaking of an adultery that’s a result of prematurely ending a marriage. He is not speaking of an adultery that’s a result of Him abrogating (as they claim) the law of Moses. The abrogation supposition changes (adds to) the dialogue between the Pharisees and Jesus. By adding to God’s word it perverts the text. It changes the perception of when this adultery began, how and why the adultery occurs and to whom the adultery was relevant. For most DTR advocates this adultery begins as a result of believing Jesus abolished the Old Testament divorce concession. Thus they believe Jesus changed divorce possibility or made divorce impossible and therefore the teaching of Jesus (for them) is applicable going forward. In other words Jesus’ teachings is not applicable to whom He was speaking historically. It becomes applicable by adding the abrogation supposition, understand? This oversight and addition to Jesus’ teaching is the ground work for even more suppositions that are legalistic in nature. Particularly the “divorce to repent” supposition itself, for they are claiming divorce is necessary for salvation sake. The perception that Jesus changed marriage to being indissoluble is what drives those who advocate DTR. They believe this adultery to be the same as that punished in the law of Moses. But the truth is this adultery was not punished throughout the Old Testament. The adultery Jesus describes happens after the first marriage ends and because it ends prematurely (before death). If one overlooks the retrospective application of Jesus’ words, they cannot account for this adultery in the Old Testament. Therefore they have to account for it some other way, How? By believing abrogation. I cannot over emphasize the problem suppositions cause for this issue. Take a fresh look a the comment threads on any site that deals with divorce and remarriage. You have a spectrum from the licentious all the way to the legalist. But my point is, if you believe abrogation or the abolishment of the divorce concession, you will arrive at the legalistic end of the spectrum. Thankfully there are balanced perspectives also. One way of having a balanced perspective on this issue is recognizing supposition. That’s because supposition drives supposition. For example the false supposition of abrogation produces the false supposition of indissoluble marriage. That false supposition produces the false belief that divorce is no longer effective. That false supposition produces the false belief that the adultery Jesus described is happening in the first marriage. That false supposition produces the false belief that remarriage itself is the adultery, etcetera. If that false supposition is believed, wouldn’t you then suppose that God would want you to repent of your marriage if the marriage itself was the adultery? That’s what DTR advocates are telling those who are remarried. They believe a divorced and remarried person is still married to their first spouse or some would say they are still in a one-flesh relationship with the first spouse. Consequently they READ INTO Jesus’ teachings the idea of “indissoluble marriage” or “indissoluble one-flesh union.” These ideas for them explain the ensuing adultery but they don’t realize they have changed how Jesus described this manner of adultery nor to whom it was relevant. They have overlooked the retrospective indictment Jesus was making against those who divorced throughout the Old Testament. By believing Jesus made the husband/wife relationship indissoluble, they imagine the adultery to be occurring in the first marriage and see remarriage as merely one long case of adultery. By changing Jesus’ words to fit their suppositions they have changed how this manner of adultery occurs from that which Jesus described. Their suppositions misconstrue Jesus’ words, but it all starts when biblical precedents become irrelevant by believing abrogation. Precedents where remarriage resulted in a binding marriage even though it caused a shameful consequence. My post have primarily opposed DTR. That’s because their suppositions have caused so much confusion for this issue by creating a whole new dimension not even in the bible. Their suppositions are a contentious issue for Christendom today while not even being part of New Testament dialogue. Supposing a remarried individual is still married to their first spouse causes much confusion for this issue. My heart goes out to those who are victimized by DTR which exacerbates divorce and destroys families. Conversely, if Jesus’ words are understood contextually He would be understood to be speaking retrospectively about what hard heartedness caused Israel. When this adultery is understood to be happening in the Old Testament the abrogation supposition is proven a lie. Therefore this manner of adultery is not something new, not something happening in the first marriage, thus not that adultery. Therefore not the adultery described by abrogation. We then should realize that biblical precedents were not abolished. When we understand Jesus did not contradict Moses, Moses and Jesus can be and should be read harmoniously. We then understand that even though a shameful consequence occurs because of divorce, remarriages were binding marriages to be honored as such. I should emphasize that both Jesus and God knows that the inadvertent shameful consequence that women experienced when remarried was the fault of their husbands for divorcing them (Matt. 5:32, Deut.24:4). I want to say here that there is often an innocent party in divorce today. I see God’s grace in allowing remarriage in the Old Testament and I’m not for keeping people out of marriage except if they are within the New Testament circumstance in which Paul prohibited it. I want to reiterate my main points in short propositional statements so as to expose supposition. *Miss the retrospective relevance Jesus made to His convent people Israel about adultery and you will account for adultery some other way. DTR does exactly that. *Add abrogation (or the idea) to Jesus’ teachings and you are poised to believe marriages no longer end. *If you believe marriages no longer end you will also believe that the adultery that occurs in remarriage is the same adultery that was punished. *If you believe in indissoluble marriage you will believe in perpetual adultery. *If you believe in perpetual adultery for those remarried you will advocate the “divorce to repent” supposition. *If you advocate the “divorce to repent” supposition you will be legalistic. *If you add rules to the bible for salvation sake, then your own salvation is suspect because you are perverting the Gospel. A legalist by definition is one who adds rules to the bible for salvation sake.
Adultery is one example of fornication. All sexual sin is fornication but not all sexual sin is adultery. Adultery is when sexual sin happens within a marriage.
mr harper. I have been under so much attack on this subject .I was married 40 years ago for 7 years. divorced. Then married for 7 years. another divorce. I was single for 7 years. i was blessed with being born again and committed to god to change my life.I have now been married for 22 years. But i just feel i am in adultry. I have repented, and i know god forgives my sin. But i know i need to get out of the sin. My wife will not let me divorce her.I am so worried about my salvation. Please advise sir. thanks
What you did prior to being born again is covered by the blood of Christ, the word of God and the teaching therein is for believers. It's not a salvation issue either. So being born again you are forgiven and are NOT in adultery and you haven't committed adultery after believing, you have stayed faithful to the woman you have married in Christ. That counts for a lot, stay with her and be the best husband you can.
Amen. Death due us Part. Not Divorce due us part. Man states you can marry your pet duck and divorce it for no reason at all. You can only remarry after divorce if your ex spouse dies. Beyond that you must remain single forever. Amen God Bless
Jesus used the one word FORNICATION as the only exception for divorce. What is FORNICATION? It is UNMARRIED PERSON having a sexual relationship. ONLY AN UNMARRIED PERSON can commit FORNICATION. ADULTERY can only be committed by someone who is MARRIED. Jesus was simply pointing out that the woman was not a virgin BEFORE she got married, she had committed FORNICATION. If this was UNKNOWN to the man BEFORE he married her, he was deceived, and therefore he could divorce her then. This word FORNICATION has been substituted for other words that can be interpreted to include GENERAL SEXUAL MISCONDUCT. This allows for persons to use this as an excuse to say that you can divorce someone for INFIDELITY. This is one of the MANY reasons why I stick with the KING JAMES VERSION of the BIBLE.
Succinctly explained! Despite divorce because of fornication, it still does not mean that the divorcees can go and remarry other people (because the marital covenant still stands). However, they can choose to FORGIVE the fornicator and maintain their marriage instead of divorcing. ONLY death permits one to get remarried.
Does that mean Abraham is not going to be in heaven, Mr. Harper? The Law of Moses was written then...I'm glad Jesus had more love and compassion than you do.
REMARRIAGE IS ADULTERY! There is no way around that. Only DEATH breaks that covenant. What God JOINS TOGETHER let not man (lawyers, parents, family) put not ASUNDER!
Deuteronomy 24:4 is why those who have remarried (rightly or wrongly) should stay remarried. He says that going back to the first spouse is an abomination - quite strong language don’t you think? That’s why elders can endorse that (responding to minute 23:48) Sadly this type of preaching does little to persuade people, shaming those who disagree with you, assuming bad intent, circular logic, and worst of all stating you won’t be saved unless you lead a perfect life you won’t go to heaven (see minute 25:29 - this is preaching a works based religion). We are to uphold the law, that will not save us nor condemn us. He also ignores 1 Cor 7:15 - if someone has been abandoned by a non believer they are free. Free from what? We’re all free in Christ. They are free to remarry. As this preacher would say, there’s no misinterpreting that. The preacher also happens to avoid asking why God hates divorce. Isn’t it because it damages us and those around us? Let us not be so quick to repeat tragedies to somehow atone for past wrongs. There’s also one final error, if marrying another means you’ve committed adultery, doesn’t it then imply that your partner has the right to divorce you anyway? If they have done so, you are then unmarried, and therefore free to remarry.
@@theunveiledchristian6866 You apparently have not read the entire Bible on the subject of divorce. Just because he isn't saying what you want him to say and you haven't read your Bible doesn't mean he's a deceiver. God divorced Israel and made a new covenant with the Gentiles, you know. Is He going to Hell?
Well why don't you read them all first and then get back to me? How do you reconcile Deuteronomy chapter 24, which is what Jesus was referring to when the religious leaders asked if you can divorce for *any cause* which is what men were using in Deut. 24 to excuse frivolous things like divorcing over not liking how she cooks or she isn't as pretty anymore. THIS is what Jesus was addressing, that you can't divorce over dumb stuff. It has to be a breaking of the covenant. You have to read an entire chapter and understand the context rather than lobbing a portion of a scripture at people like a stone. And speaking of stones, Deuteronomy is a book of the Law. It tells you about certain things you should stone people over, including rebellious children, stealing, and adultery (cheating on your spouse). It then goes on to say if you divorce a woman for uncleanness and give her a certificate of divorce, she can go and be another man's wife, which can go on and on into perpetuity, but the Bible says not to remarry a former spouse after such a thing, which it calls an abomination. However, it does not ever call remarriage adultery. It also doesn't ever say to stone someone for remarriage, so how do you reconcile that? How do you reconcile the fact that God divorces Israel for her adultery and makes a new covenant with the Gentiles? You can divorce over sexual immorality and remarry and people say you can't. I'd rather listen to the Bible. God is a God of mercy and forgiveness. He isn't going to punish a poor spouse who's constantly cheated on and tell them they have to sit in that forever if their spouse refuses to repent. Go and read all of your Bible and learn who God is. He is not a legalistic father who expects perfection of us.
@@em77775 why don't you read Malachi 2:13-16 where God told prophet Malachi that HE hates Divorce...why don't you read the new testament where Jesus Christ has taught about Marriage Divorce and being remarried as an act of Adultery..why do you have to keep and focus yourself about Deutronomy 24? I really really sure that you must read those books that I have told you..not only those books but you must also read more books that teach this matter...I don't have to go back a Deceiver like you...God bless you brother
Yes but in the OT there was also provision for divorce, however much God might hate it. We need to distinguish between God's ideal and what God allows either for our hardness of heart or because we're weak. A lot of the replies here have no pastoral heart in them..
@@neilmccall5311 Just because God allows me to sin, that does not make it acceptable for me to do.... ever. For 2500 years prior to Moses, there was no God approved divorce. The Divorce allowed by Moses was for sin management so sin wasn't compounded and made worse. Marriage is until death. Gomer was Hosea's wife no matter who Gomer slept with, lived with and no matter for how long. The Pastors heart should be to honor God and hold people accountable for their sin in a gentle, loving, and firm way. Condoning or enabling sin is never pastoral, but rather it is actually negligent, sinful, idolatrous, and seditious. We are all sinners who must wrestle with our own sinful pride and our frequent compromising and disobedience of God's instructions. Pastor's pride will surface when challenged which is why humility is so important.
Patricia, so that I can make sure to answer your question according to your specific situation, were you and your ex-husband both Christians before/during your marriage?
@@patriciarowland8230 According to Jesus. Yes. But according to Moses. He should be put to death and you would be allowed to remarry. Either way, in your situation I would say you are free to stay married. Or divorce and stay single. But never return to your first husband.
I believe you are free to remarry, you didn't commit adultery, your ex-husband did. But only to another Christian, obviously. However you are now remarried so you should do your utmost to honour the Lord in that marriage.
The same word in 1 Corinthians 7:8 for unmarried (agamos) is the same word used in verse 11. If unmarried (agamos) means never been married then explain why verse 11 says that women who separates from her husband must remain unmarried (agamos)?Why would Paul say that a woman who separates from her husband is now unmarried (agamos) if the word unmarried (agamos) means never been married. Unmarried means that they were married but are now un-married the word virgin in the text is to those who never were married not the word unmarried. The word gamos means wedding or marriage. The word agamos means un-married or a marriage that is undone by divorce. Hence why Paul says in verse 11 of 1 Corinthians 7 that the woman who separates from her husband is now unmarried (agamos). God is not playing word games and he is very straight forward and that is why the word unmarried (agamos) means those who were married and are now unmarried. If it were not so then Paul would not have used the word agamos for the never been married and the woman who is now separated from her husband.
when you do not live under the 'law' of Moses, then you do not live under God's 'law' which makes you a sinner and unredeemed. you sir, are a sinner when you reject God's instructions, the torah, the instructions to life.
Those who are in Christ Jesus are no longer under Mosaic Law, which by the way, was given to the people of Israel. 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 The Glory of the New Covenant 7 The old way, with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away. 8 Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life? 9 If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God! 10 In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new way. 11 So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever! 12 Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away. 14 But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. 15 Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand. 16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord-who is the Spirit-makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
This guy actually believes and he looks like kind and sweet brother in the Lord but he actually believes that the word fornication in this context in Matthew 19 is referring to sex outside of marriage no It’s referring to in this context sexual immorality in general which can be pornography sexual perversion it’s a wide envelope. It’s actually a reference back to Deuteronomy where it says if a man finds uncleanliness and his wife which means sexual immorality in general he can divorce.

1 Corinthians 7:10-11 10 But for those who are married, I have a command that comes not from me, but from the Lord. A wife must not leave her husband. 11 But if she does leave him, let her remain single or else be reconciled to him. And the husband must not leave his wife. *** GOD DOES PROVIDE A WAY FOR THE ABUSED...MAN OR WOMAN...ONLY TWO OPTIONS...REMAIN SINGLE OR BE RECONCLED.
The Lord has sent new spouses into the lives of many divorced Christians; some have been happily married for decades, even in ministry. Ideally, divorce and remarriage should not exist, but we live in a fallen world and people make mistakes. Once the remarried couple confess the sin, God FORGIVES.❤ They do NOT live in a perpetual state of adultery.

Another dark legalist presentation on divorce/remarriage. Yes, there are people who abuse divorce/marriage. But the Lord in Matthew 19:9, allowed an innocent party, after no repentance from a spouse, to divorce and remarry a new Christian partner. These people teach that marriage is all or nothing. I agree that there is too much divorce for non-adultery reasons. However, to say that remarriage is impossible, directly contradicts the Lord's provision. Teachers like these are going to be harshly judged for subjecting innocent parties to a lifetime of hurt and loneliness. They should also read about end-times heresy in I Timothy 4: 1-5. The Apostle Paul said that there would apostasy in the end times of heretical teachings of "forbidding to marry." Look what this teaching has done to the Catholic Church ! The Catholic Church and this guy should really look in the mirror and repent of being a modern-day Pharisee.
How can I you apply the verse "forbidding to marry" to a divorced person's situation? the so called ' divorced' person is STILL married to their covenant spouse in Gods eyes. the person in the remarriage is refusing to honour their marriage covenant. Forbidding to marry= the people who say "the rapture is going to happen, so don't get married." They are wrong because you are allowed to get married if one has never been married or their covenant spouse is dead.
God finds out who the real followers are when he inserts himself between them and their passions. This pastor is following Jesus who you reject as legalistic. Matt 19:9 gives an out if there was never a valid marriage. But pastors lose people if they preach that. So the new interpretation is that adultery all of a sudden invalidates a valid union. It wounds it for sure but what God has joined let no man put asunder.
That is NOT what Jesus is saying in Matthew 19:9! He is speaking of fornication before marriage while betrothed. Like Joseph thought to "put away" or divorce Mary because she was pregnant. He thought she had fornicated while betrothed. Married people don't fornicate, it's always adultery. Once your married, it's a blood covenant until death. "What God has joined let NO MAN separate."
You are terribly deceived. God has allowed Satan to blind your eyes, and stop your ears, because you have hardened your heart against his truth. Your belly is your god.
I came across this today and for a reason!!! This right here is why I stand for my husband and our marriage!! This needs circulated!!! Tired of the "modern" churches acting like it's OK!!! AMEN to all of this!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
You are right to stand for your husband and your marriage but pastors have the problem of marriages which are far from all right and maybe several couples who have divorced. The idea that people can remarry in certain circumstances might not be one you agree with but it's Biblical, historical, practical and has the backing of most evangelical leaders.
@@gofigure_1 What you think that the "loophole" refers to is pure surmising, presumably though it does mean something sexual as in Greek that's the meaning of "porneia". But Jesus refers to the "porneia" himself in what he declares in Matthew 19:9, he needn't have even mentioned it if he considered that divorce should NEVER be allowed. No I am NOT on a second marriage and don't ever wish to be but I stand with the majority of Bible-believing commentators who think that at the very least a spouse who has been abandoned or whose partner has committed adultery should be allowed to get divorced and remarry. I think this is both biblical and pastoral and the kind of compassion Jesus would show to the damaged Until I looked things up on the internet I didn't think any believers ever thought anything else (except Catholics who I expect to count their own handed-down doctrines above the teachings of Scripture)
@@neilmccall5311 Further to this - czcams.com/video/TSctWjChhVA/video.html
Adultery and divorce is bad enough already, without trying to change the doctrine of the New Testament church to make things even worse. God knows what He is doing. Excuse me, pardon me, please but one flesh is NOT one flesh any longer in the biblical sense, after two male organs penetrate the same female flesh. Why? Jesus said "TWO shall become one flesh." When THREE becomes one flesh because of immorality that invalidates the covenant as God intended it, with only "TWO as one flesh," hence the option for the defrauded male of the exception found in Matthew in two different places in the Holy Bible. Sorry, but I cannot accept your premise that two is three, and three is two.

Amen! Many of these false pastors in America don't teach this hard truth. I applaud him for standing on the truth of God's Word! Even a 5 year old can understand this clear and true teaching!
@@estherjones4986 not only in your country sister..also in my country where this teaching is not really taught in churches and most of the pastors have also positive outlook of Divorce Remerriage and they don't look at it as an Adultery..
Here's the truth - czcams.com/video/TSctWjChhVA/video.html
the innocent party may remarry, as the holy spirit directs....a 19 yr old girl who marries an abuser and gets divorced is free to remarry as the lord directs,,,,she doesnt have to be punished the rest of her life for a mistake she made when she was young. a chronic abuser abandons the marriage
@pegc9889 I feel for that innocent person, but where do you get she is directed by the Holy Spirit to remarry? Jesus and Paul said only the death of a spouse can someone remarry.
Thank you for being bold in your preaching of God’s word!
Beautiful teaching of the word of God. Thankyou for this video,it edified me. 🙏
Absolutely WOW, great teaching, this is the kind of teaching that needs to be taught. He is on fire 🔥 for God in this message this is TRUE SOUND DOCTRINE which is lacking in the majority of churches. Preach it preacher!!!

First time hearing Pastor Harper... And I say ALLELUIA!!!! ONE AMONG ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF PASTORS WHO, READ THE WORD, HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TEACH CORRECTLY, AND FEAR THE LORD TO TELL THE TRUTH!
Thank you Pastor Harper! God bless you sir! I wish that I had sought the Lord more carefully on this matter when I had entered into a second marriage at the age of 28. I wonder what my life would have been had a Pastor taught me correctly . After 32 years of marriage, and even though he left, I urgently pleaded with the Lord "Why?". Within 6 months the Lord answered me through a sister in Christ who boldly told me the truth...that I had been living in an adulterous marriage...then the Lord confirmed and BLESSED me through His Mighty Word! Because this is a Salvation matter, I shudder to think that I would not have entered Heaven, (and been soon raptured), had I not repented. Again, thank you Pastor. I pray that the Lord will help many to understand and repent! Matthew 19:11.
Praise YAh for you heeding to his word !
I should clarify.... At 16 years old I was forced to be married by my dad/stepmom due to pregnancy. A week after I turned 17 I gave birth to a beautiful boy. Five years later, due to drug addiction and abuse by my husband, we divorced. I remarried 7 years later. By the Word of God, this was the 32 year adultery that would have caused me to go to hell had I not repented prior to my death. God opened my eyes and I repented.. quit the sin!
Thank you Lord Jesus for bringing me closer to my salvation!
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge
Thank you Lord for preachers of righteousness
Finally truth, sounds so good to hear it, it’s become so rare you almost wonder where it is anymore. Blessings
Good word that needs to be preached and taught.
Amen. Thank you for fighting for the integrity of God's word. Remarriage while one's spouse is alive is adultery, period. There are divisions in my family over this issue but we know that Christ said He did not come to bring peace, but a sword! God bless you 🙏
No it is not - czcams.com/video/TSctWjChhVA/video.html

Thank you for bringing this truth! Thank you.
Praise be to ABBA YHVH (YaHUaH) for the truth that sets free!
Brother, you may think you preach the Word of God. However, I hear no love from you about the ones you speak of as "THEY". Jesus said, "love your neighbour, love as I have loved you". He also spoke about not condemning or you will be condemned.
I wo nder what you would say to those of us who have been regularly beaten by a mentally ill husband? Shame on YOU!!
Absolutely my convictions and exactly as I would defend the Word concerning this issue that has been very close to my heart and a great concern for the church of our Lord n Saviour Jesus Christ.
Thank you for your boldness Pastor.
Therefore let us invest IN OUR MARRIAGES.Make them heaven on earth !!!!
Excellent sermon! Judgment begins with His house first. He will build His church (called out ones!) This is truth being spoken!

“And He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her; and if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.””
Mark 10:11-12 AMP
Audultery is the only reason God himself allows for remarriage and … as a widow , problem these days is , people are using pornography as a reason as adultery , that is a mental sickness due to lack of communication of the Lord ( and can be fixed with guidance ) , excuse is not good enough to switch to a new spouse
@@puppetlady599 fornication is the only exception in God’s eye when two are betrothed. He gives us an example of this betrothed fornication in Matthew 1:19 when Jospeh was going to put Mary away privately. They were betrothed, so when he found out she was pregnant he had the right to divorce her according to God. That is why the angel of the Lord came to him to let him know she was carrying the Son of God. We do not betroth in America, so there is no exception, an God gives an example in Mark 6:17-18. Herodias divorced her covenant husband, Phillip, and was married to his brother Herod. John the Baptist told Herod it was not right and not lawful to have his brothers wife. Herod and Herodias were clearly committing adultery, but God still called Herodias Phillips wife. We must understand if we are married to someone, who is not bound to another in marriage, then we are their life long spouse until death see Romans 7:2-3 & 1 Corinthians 7:39.

We also have a family, we have been together for the last 7 years before I gave my life to Christ and realized that I was living in fornication. I told my partener that we needed to repent and do the right thing in the eyes of God.
The first wife is still alive and she is still cursing her ex husband for the fact that he left her .... As we were planning the marriage I kept on praying to God to show me guidance about my marriage project... Could this be God talking to me ?
He's bold and did say over and over that God hates divorce. I added it to my playlist that has over 400 videos on divorce and remarriage adultery. The "saving for FORNICATION" isn't adultery though but premarital sex. It's specific to Jewish tradition. Scripture says that marriage is only one man to one woman for life- Genesis 2:24. Covenant is for life- Mark 10, Luke 16:18, Romans 7:1-3, 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 & 39. If the man divorces he is breaking God's command, and remarriage is always adultery unless the wife has died. One flesh is for life. Men who divorce for persistent adultery are going to have to live celibate like Hosea did married to a prostitute. Hosea took his wife back. God put away Israel, but He was wanting her to repent and return, so He did not remarry. He will deal with Israel during the Tribulation. The church is bethrothed to Jesus as the Bridegroom and God the Father giving a bride to His Son.
Really the Matthew 19 passage is exactly the same as Mark 10, and FORNICATION is only premarital sex during the Jewish marriage betrothal. Joseph was married to Mary and was going to divorce her for FORNICATION. Lot's two daughters were also married though still virgins, and their betrothed husbands were called sons-in-law. Jesus made it new commands the men would not be able to have multiple wives like they were allowed under Mosaic law, and He said we could reconcile even after divorce or had to stay single. In Malachi 2 there is no exception clause for fornication or adultery. God hates divorce and the man who divorces his wife because He wants godly offspring. All these false teachers like he is rebuking will be going into the Tribulation because of Revelation 2 and 1 Thessalonians 4. The churches need to act on 1 Corinthians 5 and remove divorced and remarried people from their fellowship. The time to repent is now!! JESUS IS COMING!!!
AMEN!!!
My belief too!

If I ever get divorced I will be sad, but I won't remarry. I will remain unmarried and celibate for the rest of my life! I know that the word celibacy is something many fear, but it is not a death sentence! In fact anyone who is single for any reason needs to be partaking in celibacy!

I agree with all that you said except for the fact that if someone sin they will not be saved. We need to be saved because we are sinners.
IF you are saved then you are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Yet, it is the truth. People tend to repent and stay inside the messy mess!!

@@aservant2287Amen💯
Not if you are still in your sin. Jesus also said that the path is narrow. He never hid from us the fact that getting into heaven is not easy.
Thank you Pastor for teaching this very important truth in Holy scripture! My Pastor teaches there is no sin God does not forgive other than blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Can a Christian live in adulterous remarriage after divorce and expect to reach heaven when they die?
We must repent of sin in order to be forgiven. Repentance means that we will cease from doing sin. In the example you have given me you reference Adultery. They can be forgiven of the adultery but they must dissolve their marriage and return to their respective mates. The sin is the adultery and they cannot continue to sin if they wish to see heaven.
Yes they can be forgiven Only if they repent which means turn away from and leave the adulterous marriage, then will God forgive you. You see We have a part to play in repentance. Don’t let the devil deceive you.
We only have one chance on earth to make things right. God will see you through to the end whatever you have to do.

There are many pastors who teach this. Check out Joseph Webb on CZcams and David Pawson. There is a channel called In2theLight She teaches all about divorce and remarriage.
I’ve been having trouble planting myself and my family into a church. So I shouldn’t plant myself if the pastor has been remarried? Thank you for this sermon
Not if his first wife is alive. I would not recommend following an adulterous pastor. Pastors, especially, are to be the "husband of one wife".
Absolutely RUN from anyone teaching God's word in hypocrisy, because they twist the truth into LIES to deceive!!
1 john 2:4 anyone who says that they know Me and doesn't keep My commandments is a liar and the truth is not in them. If the first wife is still alive run.
It's important to note that porneia (Matt 19:9; 5:32) has a wider meaning, not just fornication, but diverse types of sexual immorality/indecency.
Heresy...Repent
@@mustardseedist LOL it's heresy to understand Greek and the original meaning of the original word used in the Bible? OK then 🤣🤣
That's right. A man could find out his wife had committed fornication prior to their marriage (thus the sheet evidence proving she is a virgin from their wedding night) or the wife might have committed some other sexual sin _after_ the marriage like adultery.
@@boltingpuppies Not all women bleed from their first time. If you go by this then that means only women can be found to be sexually immoral and never men (men's virginity can't be proven) and only women can be filed divorce against. Why would God tell us the only way to divorce someone is something that isn't 100% foolproof? Also, it means even if you choose to forgive someone's past indiscretions prior to the marriage, the other spouse will always hold it over the head of the other spouse to divorce them whenever they want with this easy excuse. That does not sound like the God of the Bible at all. There are major flaws with this.
God divorced Israel for her adultery, not her fornication. God didn't find out Israel was worshipping some other god before Him. He divorced over adultery *and* idolatry. If God can divorce over adultery and idolatry, so can we. If you can only biblically divorce over sex prior to marriage, then that would imply that God himself has an unbiblical divorce. 🤔🤔
Porneia is a single person's sex sin. If you're mochieo . Porneia group of words in the bible is used to talk about prostitution or marriages that are unlawful such as marrying family member. If you're married the word used is mocheia. If in matthew why didn't they just say if a man divorces his wife except for fornication they commit adultery? Why nit use adultety instead of fornication? Adultery covers the same range of sex sins as fornication. Adultery covers sex with another person an animal . If you have sex with a beast and yoire married its adultery. Same with fornication
I have a question, hope you will be able to reply...
My mom came to the realization of the truth regarding the adultery of "remarrige"... that being said I do still have two questions.
First; it keeps saying ...except for adultery...
OK, so say there was adultery on one side. Then is the other exempted from the original covenant? As in they can go remarry?
And then for the second I would just like to clarify one thing. The truth is unchanging truth and cannot contradict itself. So when we read something in the word that looks like it is contradicting another piece of scripture, that means we do not understand one or the other in context. So with that in mind...
My second question;
1Cor.7:11 seems to contradict Deut.24:1-4 unless I understand it correctly that if she herself did not then in the time of divorce had relationship of her own with someone else, then she should reconcile with her husband but if she did have a relationship with someone else in that time, then she is cannot go back to her husband...?
Deut. 24:1-4 was also then fulfilled with our Messiah first dying on the cross thus now He can marry idolatrous Israel again. For you are only released for marriage covenant when your spouse pass away.
So long way of saying, reconciliation is only possible if the divorced couple didn't have any other relationships outside of their marriage in the time of their "divorce".
Hope to hear from you.
Blessings!
@Roneldebeer1896 ...
Many translations do say 'sexual immorality' but to help with true understanding of the Lords intent, turn to King James which says correctly, 'FORNICATION'.
. Further, when understanding the marriage laws that JESUS made clear in Matthew ....
Matthew 19:9 & 5:32 "exception" only found in Matthew because it was written to the Jews. (But written also for our benefit).
This is not an "exception". ...it says "except for FORNICATION" Remember...this is speaking to the Jewish custom of being betrothed....the Lord gives Joseph and Mary as the example....when Joseph was going to grant Mary a 'secret' divorce from their engagement when he thought she had been unfaithful, the Word 'fornication' (pornea) was used. And this agrees with what we know ... FORNICATION (porneia) is of the unmarried ....adultery (MOICHEIA)is regarding the married. This is an important distinction as it refutes this single scripture which others point to as a reason to divorce. God's Word never permits divorce once married to Covenant spouse.
The Betrothal View:
ebcelkhorn.com/divorce-and-remarriage-the-major-views-cont/
To address Dueteronomy question:
Those who are in Christ Jesus are no longer under Mosaic Law, which by the way, was given to the people of Israel.:
2 Corinthians 3:7-18
The Glory of the New Covenant
7 The old way, with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away. 8 Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life? 9 If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God! 10 In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new way. 11 So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever!
12 Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away. 14 But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. 15 Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand.
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord-who is the Spirit-makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
HalleluYah!! Where is this preacher located, no one around here is teaching this , the word of God!
Thank you brother 🙏🏽
So, only divorce if you've been cheated on? And only remarry if your ex-spouse is dead? Otherwise, you are committing adultery? and never have sex again unless you remarry, cause that is fornication? can someone explain?
The Bible implies that abandonment is also cause for divorce; this can be when a verbally or physically abusive spouse refuses to change and a separation must occur. God hates divorce, but we live in a fallen world and people make mistakes. The Lord has sent new spouses into the lives of many divorced Christians, some have been happily remarried for decades, even in ministry. They confess the sin and God FORGIVES❤ They do NOT live in a perpetual state of adultery.
@@pegc9889 You are incorrect Peg. 1 Corinthians 7 is saying that if the unbelieving spouse leaves, let them go...you are not under bondage to try and make them stay. But to make that to mean you can remarry would contradict everything else Jesus said about remarriage.
1 Corinthians 7:10-11
10 But for those who are married, I have a command that comes not from me, but from the Lord. A wife must not leave her husband. 11 But if she does leave him, let her remain single or else be reconciled to him. And the husband must not leave his wife.
*** GOD DOES PROVIDE A WAY FOR THE ABUSED....ONLY TWO OPTIONS...REMAIN SINGLE OR BE RECONCLED.
Mark 10:10-12
10 Later, when he was alone with his disciples in the house, they brought up the subject again. 11 He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. 12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries someone else, she commits adultery.”
Luke 16:18
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Romans 7:1-3
7 Now, dear brothers and sisters-you who are familiar with the law-don’t you know that the law applies only while a person is living? 2 For example, when a woman marries, the law binds her to her husband as long as he is alive. But if he dies, the laws of marriage no longer apply to her. 3 So while her husband is alive, she would be committing adultery if she married another man. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law and does not commit adultery when she remarries.
***ONLY DEATH ENDS THE MARRIAGE COVENANT...THEN YOU ARE FREE TO MARRY, "BUT ONLY IN THE LORD."
@@Glory.To.God.In.The.HighestExcatly💯
here we go, with the standard points.....the woman, at the well....no information is given, so no conclusions can be gained....
Very simple
Adultery breaks covenant and divorce is acceptable especially when no death penalty for adultery for if there was the guilty party would be dead and so the covenant is terminated.if an offended party chooses to forgive God bless them but they are not under law to have to.
Otherwise seperate for peace and then be reconciled to ones spouse....
VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND hard to live out.
Married is hard
Single is hard
Life is hard
🙏❤
Not correct. Adultery does not dissolve covenant; death dissolves covenant. Matt 5:32 is divorce betrothed wife for premarital unchastity.
I have learned that Divorce simply means "separation". A divorce in the State courts does not break God's life-long covenant of marriage. And yes, things were somewhat less complicated, when the guilty parties were stoned for adultery.
Wrong. Death only.
Not death only, or do we have a new covenant and put away the adulterous wife and take on a new covenant gentile wife haha no its clear a covenant issevered with unfaithfulness
Their is no where in bible that says adultery dissolves marriage bond. If that were the case all one spouse would have to do is cheat and divorce the innocent partner.
These different Bible translations are causing confusion too
I been trying to tell my wife this for 5 yrs but some people let the devils ways come before God. Millions will end up in hell on marriage alone. I pray people would listen to the true word of God. The sad thing is I have ask preachers to talk to my wife and none will do so. So maybe some day I can find a preacher that will speak the truth to my wife.
Sweet brother, God is the one that will have to speak to her heart and open her heart to receive this truth. I lost count of how many people I have told about God’s truth on remarriage being adultery, if spouse is still alive, and they have rejected it. We must do the most powerful thing God has given us, pray for them.
Yes and just watch. Satan will be ruthless on that first marriage, he wants so badly to wreck it at least in these days. There was a time when people who didn’t profess to be Christian who stayed together but that was before Satan was able to deceive us into believing divorce was ok and then judges and pastors went along with it. But just watch. The 2nd marriage comes along and look at them now. They’re claiming to be saved! Going to church! People smile on them. Pastors invite them with open arms into their churches. Soon they are even taking part and holding offices in the church. Oh terrible deception. Satan does not care if you go to church, not if he already has you. He will even encourage you to become a deacon. Take active part in church and other outreaches. All the while he will rub his hands together and laugh until you are screaming in hell. We have to wake up! Gods word is boss here not American culture. Not “church” culture. Not what everyone else is doing. Don’t be taken in by these remarried people telling you how happy they are. Many of them are in doubts, many of them fear. But since “everyone else” does it, their conscience is quieted somewhat.
A lady I know who lost her husband remarried a divorced man and he is very religious (prior to this I don’t know if the lady had any experience with God) but she was reading the Bible and came across those marriage scriptures and she confronted her new “husband” and he laughed it off and made an excuse. She told me this. Quite some time later I acquired a book on the subject and asked her if I could lend it to her. Immediately I could see it in her eyes, that she has been troubled about this ever since we had talked. Yes! She said. I would love to read that book. So take courage, people do think about this but so often they take the fleshly way.
I prey for ur marriage to be restore in Jesus name. Amen I'm same. Plase in
Hey brother the letter kills but the spirit gives life. If you want to fix it, send her an honest letter of how you want to focus on the future and how you plan to help her
No no no! Don't get a divorce! But also realize that the sin which sends you to hell is rejecting the gospel.
The Bible says
for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
The Bible says
The wages of sin is death
We are all going to die because we have all sinned
But the Eternal punishment or your sins is hell when you reject the free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ
The sinless Son of God Jesus Christ died in your place on the cross he paid for your sins with his sinless blood
He descended first into the lower part of the earth and then he rose from the grave
Jesus conquered death and hell for all sinners who would believe the gospel which is the death burial and resurrection of Jesus
When you believe the gospel God takes away your sin and gives you the righteousness of Jesus Christ
God no longer sees your sin anymore he sees the righteousness of his Son
By faith you are born again of the Spirit of God which indwells the believer
you are saved by the power of God and you are kept saved by the power of God 1st Peter chapter 1 Ephesians2:8-9 Titus 3:5
Romans 8
So why didn't you continue in 1 Corinthians 7:15? What is verse 15 talking about?
Bottom line separation is allowed but no marriage while the first lives. No arguement.

Moral of story NO DIVORCE! 1corinthians 7:27
No remarriage after a divorce! If any divorce is a sin then what about abandoned spouses? They tried to keep their marriage but if the other spouse abandoned them there is nothing they can do. They must remain single always.
Marriages are not indissoluble!!! Here is a deeper dive into the subject - czcams.com/video/N2pC6ZikbYo/video.html
God forgives remarriage, otherwise He wouldnt have sent new spouses to so many divorced Christians❤
No, He didn’t. They decided to ignore God’s words, and follow their feelings instead. Claiming He sent them a new spuse, which He never did.
It'I say if they get one teaching wrong then their whole doctrine is incorrect. I tell you it's so hard to find a firm and straightforward teacher in this area
Yes there is a firm teacher...its called the Holy Spirit...He teaches us God's Word...but we have to read it and pray.
I don't see how grace and forgiveness really means anything, to any sinner, for any sin, if they are held in condemnation. Why would anyone bother with Christianity who need to start their life over?
Here's a question for you. An unmarried person guilty of a lesser murder charge finally gets out of jail. They repent and turn their heart to Jesus fervently. They end up getting married.
This person doesn't have to be celibate, but someone who has had a failed marriage does?
Fornication is sex before marriage.
This Pastor is good; however, Adultery is NOT grounds for divorce Luke 16:18; The marriage covenant is permanent Romans 7:2; Divorce does NOT end a marriage; it might legally but not spiritual with God. Other than that he has almost perfect.
I guess God sinned then in Jeremiah 3:8 when he divorced the house of Israel. He should not have divorced them for their whoring.
Well it did in the Old Testament, the Matthew 19 passage doesn't have Jesus saying that what was in the law was WRONG just that it was a concession to the hard-hearted. Adultery would under the law allow someone to remarry because the guilty spouse would have been put to death so the innocent party was quite free to remarry. If divorce doesn't end a marriage and it's "spiritual with God" how is a spouse's death any different? I think Paul is being quite practical in 1 Corinthians 7, that believers should not divorce BUT if an unbeliever walks away from the marriage the Christian is free to remarry, they are "not bound" (verse 15). Why do these teachers want good Christian people to be held and bound by the infidelity and abandonment of others?
@@neilmccall5311 No, that's not right; Jesus said, from the beginning it wasn't this way; but I tell you .....
@@utubemedward1 Problem is when you look at Deuteronomy 24 it's quite clear that divorce DID end a marriage and the wife was free to remarry anyone EXCEPT the original husband! The problem wasn't that Moses was in conflict with God but that the Pharisees of Jesus' time were looking for a loophole beyond what Deuteronomy permits to allow almost free divorce to the disadvantage of women, of course. People are being Pharisees in the opposite direction and trying to say that there can never be divorce and remarriage in any situation and this is simply not what scripture teaches, especially when there is adultery and/or abandonment. I am not alone, most believing pastors and Bible scholars see it this way too and the "hard-liners" bring disgrace to Christ and the church by advocating that remarried couples get ANOTHER divorce!
@@neilmccall5311 Where people are misunderstanding; it ended the engagement to the espoused wife not married wife; if he finds any uncleanliness in her being not a virgin; God said in Genesis not to separate the marriage covenant under any conditions; no exceptions offered. Period.
Put away does not mean divorce. Twisting of God's word is evil. To live under the illogical assumption that a woman should raise children alone is making God unjust and unfair. God does not want a woman abused or controlled simply because she made a mistake.
"Putting away DOES in fact mean "divorce":
"It hath been said, Whosoever shall PUT AWAY his wife, let him give her a writing of DIVORCEMENT:" Matthew 5:31 KJV
"But I say unto you, That whosoever shall PUT AWAY his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is DIVORCED committeth adultery." Matthew 5:32 KJV
Now, for you to DENY that "put away" means "divorce", is to call God a liar.
@@MoonPhaze5 Wow! So you think that verse means "It hath been said, Whosoever shall DIVORCE his wife, let him give her a writing of DIVORCEMENT:" In what language does that make any sense at all? Give him a divorce then give him a written divorce? Why would that not be "It hath been said, Whosoever shall SEPARATE FROM his wife, let him give her a writing of DIVORCEMENT:" Man, the devil has you people doing all sorts of hating for him. And you can't even see it. BTW if you can read, you can look up the Hebrew word "shalach" and the Greek word "apoluo" and notice for yourself you are following man's word not God's Word! No excuses for doing the work of the devil for him. He loves this bondage you slam people into! Stop telling people that God hates them! He hates separation (putting away) because it leads to divorce.
This is legalism..... So if the woman remarries she is now an adulterer, righr? So while remarried to the second husband the first husband dies.. .is she STILL AND ADULTERER?
Hello sister.
It's not legalism. It's the Word of God.
The time of grace is not the time for licence to sin because God is love. Our Father is also The just Juge, and The Bible declare that The jugement will be according to justice.
If the first husband dies, his death does not cancel the initial sin of divorce and remarriage. As for any sinning our life, we have to confess it to God, and He will forgive us. And if we want to stay in that second marriage, we can because the original husband is dead.
Sis, we ought to be careful , and try to know God for Who He truly is, to what we think He is.
God bless
@@ecolefoyer174 I am glad you said that the death of the husband does not cancel the sin. It is the blood of our saviour that cancels the sin. So whether the first husband is dead or not the efficacy of the blood is still in tact which means the remarriage is ALSO COVERED BY THE BLOOD in a condition of repentance. While the first husband was alive she was considered an adulterer? But he dies and now she is suddenly not an adulterer? Thats NOT biblical! She is free through repentance. Jesus NEVER addressed the woman at the well as an adulterer even though she had 5 husbands and the one she was with now was not her husband. If her remarriage 4+ times was a case of her possibly missing eternal life, wouldnt Jesus point out her "adulteress" condition? We need to stop reading God's word through the lens of legalism and let the Holy Spirit interpret scripture for us.
Paul said it remain where you are once you come into the body of Christ 1 Cor. 7:20. The church needs to stop with the legalism and let the Holy spirit help people work out their salvation And sanctification! I know the one true and living God VERY WELL !❤
@@johnrfrost absolutely ....hence need for His grace through the blood!
This guy has it right except for Matthew 5:32;
Fornication (Premarital Immorality) while betrothed in Jewish culture; not marital unfaithfulness; Marital Adultery is NOT grounds for divorce unfortunately (Luke 16:18);
after the marriage is consumated, there is NO divorce allowed at all.
One other thing; Divorce IS Sin; Romans 7:2 The wife must NOT leave the Husband for she is in covenant to him for life; NO EXCEPTIONS.
I've been in fights with Pastors over this; I am sick of this divorcing in the church; enough!!!
Hello,
What if a woman was taught incorrectly and got a divorce because she misinterpreted the scripture about fornication. In your opinion, is this something that can be repented for as long as she does not remarry?
So God sinned when He divorced Israel? We have a sinful God then.
@@tryingtogetitright6038 yes, 1Corinthians 7:11 tells us stay unmarried or go back to spouse

1 Corinthians 7:27
King James Version
27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
A hard but true fact I guess, it's a bummer for me. Especially when me & my ex wife were not happy & she would never get back with me. I understand I'm just bound to christ until then, however I will also be bound to frustration as I have been the past 4 years.
Never say never. God is a God of the impossible. Stand for your marriage with fasting and prayer. Let God renew you and heal you and ask that He does the same for her. Blessings to you brother. Not your timing but His perfect timing.
Separation is abandonment and is ground for divorce. The Lord has sent new spouses into the lives of many divorced Christians. Ideally, divorce and remarriage should not occur, but we live in a fallen world and we make mistakes. Christians confess the sin and God FORGIVES❤ Remarried couple would NOT live in perpetual adultery.
@@pegc9889 PRAY FOR PEG!
The fallen world clause. Whers that I the bible? Jesus gave an exception it wasn't nothing to do with the world
This message is faulty. Fornication doesn't terminates marriage. It is only an espoused wife that can be divorced based on fornication.
Please remember that "fornication" is what an unmarried person commits...
It's Biblical to remarry, "it is better to marry than to burn"
-Jesus of Nazareth
No, that scripture was written to those unmarried and to widows....it is nit biblical to remarry
No!!
Check out Deuteronomy 24
The Lord has sent new spouses to many divorced Christians, some have been happily remarried for decades, even in ministry. They confess the sin and He FORGIVES❤ They do NOT live in perpetual adultery. It's important to ask the Holy Spirit for a new spouse and let Him guide.
People are only accountable for what you know
But we are also accountable for WHY we don't know....bibles are free and it's in the Gospels, words in red. Many people say they love Jesus, but are too lazy to read the Word.
Once we are aware, we have to repent and sin no more.
So if your spouse commits adultery or remarries after divorce, are you then after spouse remarries another, is it okay to remarry someone else? Or must you remain single for life or reconcile with the adulterous spouse after he finds and seeks Jesus?
This is crazy. Mark 3:29 its not the unpardonable sin & if the reason for divorce is fornication alone. 1 Cor 7:15 if the unbelieving spouse leaves you are free. We are not bound it says. Divorce is only permitted for fornication Jesus said. If a person divorced their spouse for BS reasons like my ex did to me he committed adultery and he makes his wife an adulterer IF divorce is not for fornication. I've been divorced 4 years and celibate. My ex husband is with someone else. He has already been defiled, so on grounds of his fornication, I'm free to marry only in the Lord.
Also I married out of the faith as I wasn't close to God then, my marriage was counterfeit from the start. Only in the Lord do things hold together the Bible says.
People forget the mass divorce God ordained in Ezra 10. Israeli men had children with these pagan women and God told them to depart. Yes, God hates divorce! Lets also remember divorce is not the unpardonable sin! Theres only 1 sin God won't forgive: blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Granted if the unbelieving spouse is willing to stay with you, you stay married it says in NT.If not you let them go, the verse says we don't know if we can save them. Anyway I've included God in the selection process this time and my true husband's name was revealed after I prayed silently in my mind (as I didn't want Satan answering me) for 9 mo and 27 days & on the 27th day He answered. I now wait for my God ordained spouse. I don't date. In my grief the Lord revealed the state of my then soon to be ex husband by expressing His bewilderment pain frustration and love in His voice for me stated: "HES NOT WORTHY OF YOU!" That was shocking to hear but the most loveliest words God revealed to me. I didn't think so at the time. I was angry. It was after this I kept inquiring for months about who is worthy of me in grieved prayers. God truly is near the broken hearted. Inquire always of the Lord, people like to add or inadvertently add to the scriptures. You want God's understanding and resolution on your personal life--not a fallible human's interpretation.
There's no place that states after your unfaithful spouse married someone else you are supposed to wait for them. That's absurd. I know every situation is different they have been people who married other people and then they both of their 2nd spouses leave/cheat and then the two original spouses reconcile years later but not everybody's case is the same that's why I always recommend inquire of the Lord first. Hope you never have to experience divorce, sometimes it feels like I'll always have a sadness in me. I never wanted to experience this. I wish I never selected a spouse and consulted the Lord first! I'm nervous about my God ordained spouse. You know something is of the Lord when what you heard from God comes to pass. That was the answer when I asked in my mind: "Lord, how do I know this is from you?" His Response: "When it comes to pass." That is a Biblical answer. Until then I wait, can't bear the pain of a wrong marriage ever again!

People why would you want to do something that God HATES🤔
ASK YOUR SELF WOULD YOU WANNA TAKE THAT CHANCE WHEN IT'S TIME TO MEET CHRIST 🤔...HARD HEARTS🖤
Paul says yet I say not the Lord.
Adultery is not the unforgivable sin. If people use that as an excuse to divorce it is because of their hard hearts. People don’t want to stand for their marriages or forgive but they expect to be forgiven. I am speaking as a person who knows both the darkness of cheating and the pain of being cheated on. Marriage is a covenant from God to represent God’s unconditional love for us. That even undeserved He chooses to love us, not the world’s definition of love (conditional) but His definition in 1 Corinthians 13. It is because of our hard hearts we run straight to divorce instead of a separation where we can allow God to make a way where we see no way. He is either God of the impossible or He is not. I am standing for my marriage now and I pray that God would raise up an army of Godly people who would be able to advice people in God’s way for those who need guidance in marriage hardships. The enemy is targeting marriages because he knows the great threat a Godly marriage is to his dark kingdom. If a Man and Woman raise their children in God’s ways, the devil will not sit back and just let it be. Let’s pray for marriage to be brought back to God’s original plan with NO divorce.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10---Know ye not that the unrighteous SHALL NOT inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Each case is different, the Holy Spirit must guide. But when a spouse commits adultery, the marriage vows are broken. Yes, there should always be forgiveness, but they doesnt mean that the marriage has to continue. Separating from a spouse is a form of abandonment, and scripture seems to give cause for divorce for this. The Lord has sent new spouses into the lives of many divorced Christians. Once they confess the sin, God FORGIVES❤ They do NOT live in a perpetual state of adultery
@@pegc9889 When you start by saying "each case is different", sounds like you are putting your ideas first before God. I can bet you are an Adulterer, since you lie on God by saying that"The Lord has sent new spouses into the lives of many divorced Christians".

Let us go to the Word of God for your answer. Mark 6:17-18 “For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias sake, his brother Phillip’s wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, it is not lawful for thee to have they brothers’s wife.”
We know that Phillip, Herodias, and Herod are not Christians and they probably did not get married in a church, but God still expected them to honor what God made as one flesh. Twice John the Baptist told Herod that it was not right for him to be with his brothers wife. Man made rules on marriage that does not come from God. If a man and woman come together in agreement to be husband and wife, and they are not bound to another in marriage, then God makes them one flesh. See Genesis 2:24; Mark 10:5-9; Matthew 19:4-6. In 1 Corinthians 7:39 & Romans 7:2-3 tells us we are bound to our Covenant spouse till death.
Jesus tells us in Mark 10:11-12; Luke 16:18; Matthew 19:8-9 that “whosoever” marries someone divorced is in adultery and Romans 7:3 that if you marry someone else, while your spouse is still alive she shall be called an adulterous. This is an eternity issue, because in Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Corinthians 6-11; Ephesians 5:3-5 tells us those who are choosing to live in adultery will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. The world will tell you get remarried it is no big deal, but God tells us you will perish in a second death (lake of fire) for adultery. Who are you going to believe God or man?? The choice is yours and it will effect where you spend eternity. I pray this answers your question.
@@toniadaniels106 Thank you for your interpretation of the scriptures. But for a very serious matter like this, I will take them as they read directly; Mark 10:9 “What therefore God hatch joined together let no man put asunder.”

1 Cor 7:39 “…only in the Lord”
Romans 7:2-3 You pointed out but there is context that you left out which is in verse 1 “For I speak to them that knows the law” This is Paul addressing the church.
Also I’m not sure if it’s a matter of context you missed but the story about John being arrested had nothing to do with divorce being the issue as the word or description was never used. The issue was him marrying his brothers wife. Not even sure if they WERE divorced I t sounds as though he just TOOK the poor man’s wife.

Currently I’m slowly finding out man’s interpretation is indeed flawed. Go to the lord he will always direct you right.
So your spouse cheats on you and comes down with a deadly disease... What are you to do then?

This is correct! We get only 1 marriage covenant. You don't get multiple marriage covenants. YAH calls Every 2nd marriage adultry. Only death of a spouse breaks that covenant. Then you are free to remarry if and only when a spouse dies! That is the only thing that breaks a marriage covenant

@@acolley2891 The scripture tells us they were eating *'bread'* with unwashed hands (not meat/flesh). The greek word translated as 'meat' actually means 'food'. So eating 'food' without ceremonially washing the hands will not defile you...the body cleans the dirt off of the food and the dirt goes out into the toilette (drought). Food is defined for us in Leviticus 11. Unclean animals are *not food.* At Christ's second coming he is going to destroy believers who are eating unclean animals per Isaiah 65.
Not keeping God's commandments is what defiles us (adulteries, coveting, etc.). Eating food (as God has defined food) with unwashed hands does not defile us. That is not what makes us dirty/defiled.
Can anyone here in the comments show me the scripture that instructs a remarriage to depart from one another..????
1 Cor 7:10-11-- Although the text of these two verses address the wife, the same applies to the husband. The Holy Spirit, through the apostle Paul, commands that the departing spouse remain unmarried or be reconciled to the other. It is also implied that if either remarries someone other than the first spouse, he/she must return to the first and be reconciled through forgiveness of each other. Then live a life devoted to God and each other.
Clif can probably break this down better.
That’s not exactly true. God said that after a divorce, you cannot go back to the first spouse.
Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
Deuteronomy 24:4
@@clarkdtalbot, the context of Deut 24:4 is if the wife which had been sent away marries another man and he gives her a bill of divorcement or he dies, the first husband "may not take her again to be his wife." The context is referring to the first husband "putting her away" for some reason other than adultery (which was a common tradition of that time). Adultery in the early history of the nation of Israel was punishable by death, thus the situation here is not one of adultery, but rather for whatever the first husband determined to be any shameful act by her. This was the reason God gave as to why the first husband could not take her to be his wife again. Jesus and Paul both clarify the old law and established a more strict law concerning marriage, divorce, and remarriage.
We live in a time that our society goes against God's instructions on divorce and remarriage.

WHAT IS A COVENANT MARRIAGE?
Matthew 19:6
For this reason, a man will leave his father and his mother and will live with his wife.
So they are no longer two but ONE FLESH.

THEY ARE ONE FLESH!
Genesis 2:24
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
SECOND....
WHAT THE LORD SAYS ABOUT DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE
Footnotes: 'except for 'fornication' (greek=pornea') = (NOT MARRIED)
The oldest English version is Wycliff and agrees with KJV.
Matthew 19:9
Wycliffe Bible
9 And I say to you, that whoever leaveth his wife, but for fornication, and weddeth another, doeth lechery [doeth adultery]; and he that weddeth the forsaken wife, doeth lechery [doeth adultery].
Matthew 19:9 KJV. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Matthew was written directed to the Jews. We must look at the Jewish audience at the time when this was written to understsnd JESUS' intent. At that time it was Jewish custom to be betrothed, ie... engaged.
Scriptures give Joseph and Mary as the example. They were betrothed...In that day the betrothal sealed the commitment prior to the marriage ceremony. When Joseph found that Mary was pregnant, he had it in his mind to "divorce" her privately because he thought she had committed fornication. So, if we go to the Greek translation (New Testiment) we have to look at the intent of the meaning, 'accept for fornication'... What? How can they "divorse" if they had not been married... (fornication is "before marriage" greek fornication= pornea / greek adultery=moicheuó ). So to conclude, it would be easy to understand, (because of the time frame and Jewish culture of that day) that if you found the other to have committed fornication, then yes, God would allow "divorce"....before marriage ceremony.
1 Corinthians 7:10-11
10 But for those who are married, I have a command that comes not from me, but from the Lord. A wife must not leave her husband. 11 But if she does leave him, let her remain single or else be reconciled to him. And the husband must not leave his wife.
Malachi 2:16
For I hate divorce,” says the Lord, the God of Israel, “and him who covers his garment with wrong,” says the Lord of hosts. “So take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.”
Mark 10:10-12
10 Later, when he was alone with his disciples in the house, they brought up the subject again. 11 He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. 12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries someone else, she commits adultery.”
Romans 7:1-3
7 Now, dear brothers and sisters-you who are familiar with the law-don’t you know that the law applies only while a person is living? 2 For example, when a woman marries, the law binds her to her husband as long as he is alive. But if he dies, the laws of marriage no longer apply to her. 3 So while her husband is alive, she would be committing adultery if she married another man. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law and does not commit adultery when she remarries.
WHAT THE LORD SAYS IS THE CONSEQUENCE OF REMARRIAGE WITH A LIVING COVENANT SPOUSE:
Proverbs 14:12
12 There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.
Proverbs 6:32
But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, (fornication/sex of unmarried) or who worship IDOLS, or commit ADULTERY, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people-none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.

Scripture clearly teaches: anyone who divorces and remarries while their covenant (original) spouse is still living (with the exception of fornication) is an adulterer or adulteress (Matthew 5:31-32, Matthew 19:3-9, Mark 10:2-12, Luke 16:18, Roman's 7:2-3, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 1 Corinthians 7:10-15, 1 Corinthians 7:39).
In addition, scripture clearly teaches in order to receive God's mercy one must repent or they will perish (Luke 13:3). According to Proverbs 28:13, repentance has two elements confessing AND forsaking our sins: "People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess AND turn from them, they will receive mercy."
Remaining in an adulterous remarriage is not repentance.
The liar has to repent and stop lying; the thief has to repent and stop stealing; the homosexual has to repent and stop committing homosexual acts; and the remarried adulterer and adulteress has to repent and stop committing adultery.
Sharing the scriptural truth regarding divorce and remarriage infuriates those who are supposed to be followers of Christ. The words of Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul anger his alleged followers like no other topic. Perhaps it's time to obey Jesus and to begin believing He means exactly what He says.
Most importantly, ALL sins are unforgivable without genuine repentance...including remaining in adulterous remarriage. According to the clear, easy-to-understand words of scripture, Jesus most definitely sends unrepentant adulterers and adulteresses to the lake of fire. It's time to confess and forsake adulterous remarriage.
God Picked Paul for a reason
Paul was very well versed in the law and spoke different languages, but he spoke as if everyone had his knowledge so we get this
2 Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Do you see that?
If we are not stable in scripture we wrestle with Paul's epistles.
So if I look at Divorce in Deut.24:1-4 and I don't take into account the following I'm not stable
1. Adultery had it's own law Lev.20:10
2. The process of marriage Deut.22:13-21
3. When women can not be put away Deut.22:19,29
In today's world where people divorce for any reason they can think of, we should keep in mind Romans 7:1-3, Matt.19:9, 1COR.7:10-11, Deut.24:4, 1COR.7:39.
Thank you for that Brother but Jeremiah chapter 3 says Israel Justified itself more than Judah, and that is by returning to God once she was divorced. So once she returned she started to backslide and commit adultery. Look at Deut.24:1-4 and Jeremiah chapter 3 and take note of the pollution. Remember divorce is due to fornication before marriage, not adultery.
excatly💯
This so wrong. In so many ways I don’t even know we’re to start.
Just to be absolutely clear: 'divorce' is *only* in the case of "fornication," not adultery! The way that 'married' people fornicate is during the engagement, and one the wedding night it's determined that they wife is not a virgin; at that point only can the husband 'divorce' his wife, if he so chooses; but after that - he cannot, and there would be adultery if they try to.
Divorce and remarriage was legal for any reason according to levitical law. But according to Jesus a divorced women is an adulterer if she remarries. And a man who chooses to divorce his wife and remarry is an adulterer. So the only innocent is the man whose wife divorced him who remarries.
@@samuelswenson1505 that's what You say, not the scriptures. Enlighten me on the scripture that backs that up.
@@auh2o148 Mathew 19 and Luke 16.
9. `And I say to you, that, whoever may put away his wife, if not for whoredom, and may marry another, doth commit adultery; and he who did marry her that hath been put away, doth commit adultery.`
(Matthew, 19)
18. `Every one who is sending away his wife, and marrying another, doth commit adultery; and every one who is marrying her sent away from a husband doth commit adultery.
(Luke, 16)
So the only exception is a Man may marry if the women chooses to leave him. But men were allowed multiple wives anyways. But... They could not divorce them for another or it would be considered adultery
@@samuelswenson1505 I don't know what translation you're using, but that word "whoredom" should be "fornication." Replace it and reread what I wrote. Anyway, there is separation but NO divorce.
@@auh2o148 Well either way. Jesus said if we desire women we are adulterers at heart. So I'd argue anyone who gets married for any reason is actually an adulterer.
So you just have to ask yourself what the lesser of two evils is? To want endlessly? Or to have legally for good reasons?
So if all of this is true, then despite my past adultery, having reconciled to the Lord for almost 3 years now, how is my wife allowed to divorce me now?
We’ve been separated since July of 2019 but last week she said she wants to move forward with divorce. Her woke pastor and his wife prayed with her and support her decision.
What the heck am I missing here? Her church, I don’t go there any more because they’re woke and fraudulent, have stated from day 1 that she is entitled to divorce because of infidelity as per Matthew 19:9.
Somebody please help me get this right? Thanks
I am sorry to hear about your troubles. As we forgive so shall we be forgiven, Matt. 6:12, 14. If you have repented and asked forgiveness I would encourage her to forgive you and take you back. God tells us to learn to be godly and follow the example of Jesus which includes forgiveness. How many times do we sin in our lives and we expect God to forgive us and take us back, His explanation is 7 times 70 in one day. This too is a lesson for us to learn to follow in our relationship with one another. Some like to say that they forgive but don't really want to get back together, I question the sincerity of their forgiveness. How would we fell if God told us that He forgives us but doesn't really want to have a relationship anymore? Explain this to her and I will pray for you.
God tells us to stay unmarried or go back to spouse 1 Corinthians 7:11. I have been standing for my husband for over 5 years and God has blessed me for my obedience.
Sadly,,, your wife will divorce you unless you bow the knee and fast till God gives you peace..
@@rexpardus2924 can you explain that further
@@johnmagee3292 sadly, the culture of the day is godless and that includes most (paid )pastors , they don’t preach the truth so they offend.. your pastor is wrong ., also his wife had no business in that decision .

They’ll happily advise for divorce or abortion simply because they preach that God forgives and he “understands” then they add … “he knows your heart” that’s pure evil .. if I were you .. ask you wife to give you a time to be a husband as a farewell gift .. and that you won’t insist on making her stay . It’s inevitable that women will first divorce in their mind and it’s a matter of days before they carry it out with support from their female herd. I’m almost certain she’s got single friends egging her on. You must pray like your life depends on it
So many lives have been destroyed by these erroneous teachings on divorce and remarriage.
So many lives have been destroyed from adultery through remarriage after a divorce. I'm living it.
Best thing ever to read on this critical subject is Leslie McFall's thesis THE BIBLICAL TEACHING ON DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE, McFall demolishes every single argument ever made by anybody who tries to defend divorce-remarriage. Millions are on their way to hell for their presumption and lack of love for the Word of God.
Divorce is not a sin and is not explicitly forbidden in the Bible. Divorce can't send a person to hell if A.) it's not even a sin and B.) sins don't send a person to hell. Rejecting Jesus does. This is ridiculous.
God clearly permits remarriage after the death of a spouse and actually encourages remarriage for younger widows (Romans 7:1-3, 1 Corinthians 7:8-9,27-28,39-40; 5:11-16). The only qualification for the remarriage of a widow is that the new spouse must be a Christian (1 Corinthians 7:39, 2 Corinthians 6:14).
Modern western churches don’t teach on this at all
The Pharisees were trying to find a legal excuse to divorce a faithful wife. And that's what Jesus addressed. The heart issue. They had adulterous hearts.
However, Jesus never addressed the issue of abusive marriages. Nor the issue of abandonment.
But Paul did, in 1 Cor 7.
If an unbeliever is not pleased to dwell with a believing spouse, and abandons her _(and no believer would, because whoever doesn't provide for his own has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel)_ then she is not under bondage in such a case.
1 Cor 7 is ALL about marriage, divorce, and remarriage. When Paul talks about slavery in the middle of the discussion is STILL about marriage. Because that's the context on both ends of it.
There is no worse slavery than being married to an abusive partner. Especially in a "church" that says you have to stay there, even if he sexually abuses the kids! (And yes, a dear friend of mine was in that kind of church!)
But Paul says, "If you may be made free, use it rather!" 1 Cor 7:21
This does not mean only separation. It means freedom.
God gave a directive in Deut 24: if a man separates from his wife, he is REQUIRED to give her divorce papers! ...WHY? - so she can remarry!
Now, the New Testament says the Law is HOLY, AND JUST AND GOOD. Rom 7:12
Paul even said that under the New Covenant, he couldn't have known sin, except by the Law! And 1 John 3:4 says the definition of sin today is "the transgression of the Law." So don't try to tell me the Law didn't have a high enough standard, defining what sin is! The Word of God is forever settled in heaven. What God said once was holy, is forever holy. Including Deut 24!
And don't twist Romans 7 to make it say a divorced woman is still married until her ex dies... it isn't talking about divorce. The subject in Romans 7 is how DEATH affects marriage, and how that relates to freedom from sin. It's not talking about divorce at all.
Back to 1 Cor 7: have you ever noticed Paul talks to 4 groups of people? And what applies to one group does not apply to another group!
He talks to (1) Christians married to Christians, (2) Christians married to unbelievers, (3) the unmarried and widows, and (4) virgins.
Each group had separate instructions. The unmarried and widows were a special group who were NOT included in the "virgin" category!
Why did Paul group the unmarried and the widows separately? Because they were "used to be married" folks!! This is the divorced group.
Remember, divorce was extremely common in the first century, in all cultures. Jewish, Greek, and Romans. They all divorced and remarried a lot!
And yet, in all the New Testament, you have NO special instructions telling those who were coming into the church as divorced, that they had to remain single. Why? Because it wasn't an issue!
Paul said to divorced people:
1 Cor 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Thank God.
The New Testament does not have a stricter law than the Old.
Jesus came to give us freedom. Not more rules.
No 1. 1 Corithians 7. A wife is bound.....
So that already overrides your Romans.
No 2. It is better to marry than burn with lust. NOT IT IS BETTER TO REMARRY.....
JEEPERS.
When Pharisees asked Jesus about Moses they asked about divorce. Jesus did not reply on divorce he talks passed them and takes them back to the beginning. Meaning God set the bar for Marriage Not Moses. We are not under the Mosaic law..
When Moses conceded divorce to hardhearted men he did so for peace sake, just like Paul in 1 Cor.7:15. When Jesus made a reference to this fact (Matthew 19:8) He was not criticizing Moses (as claimed by some), He was actually being critical of hardheartedness. Jesus’ following remarks “but from the beginning it was not so” (8b) revealed to the Pharisees that divorce was foreign to God’s creative design for marriage(4-6). This masterfully exposed the calloused hearts of the Pharisees for wanting to divorce their wives for all kinds of subjective reasons and it revealed to them that they were transgressing God’s will for marriage by prematurely ending it. Divorce then causes an inadvertent consequence for remarriage.
In the sermon on the mount Jesus revealed to His covenant people Israel that by divorcing their wives (which were allowed to remarry Deut. 24:2) they were causing them to commit adultery (Matthew 5:32). In the Patriarchal society of Israel men were causing their wives to commit this manner of adultery, that is to commit adultery by defaulting on “the law of her husband” set forth by marriage itself (Romans 7:2b) KJV. Because marriage sets forth the responsibility of lifetime faithfulness, divorce and remarriage will transgress that obligation. Jesus revealed to Israel the consequences of prematurely ending a marriage. In the Patriarchal society of Israel men who initiated divorce were the ones guilty of the ensuing adultery of their former wives when they remarried (Matthew 5:32).
This adultery was not the adultery of being unfaithful while married which was punishable by stoning. This adultery happens exactly how Jesus describes it in the text. These TRUTHS are overlooked by “divorce to repent” (DTR) advocates (those who teach that the divorced and remarried should divorce). Jesus is directly speaking of an adultery that’s a result of prematurely ending a marriage. He is not speaking of an adultery that’s a result of Him abrogating (as they claim) the law of Moses. The abrogation supposition changes (adds to) the dialogue between the Pharisees and Jesus. By adding to God’s word it perverts the text. It changes the perception of when this adultery began, how and why the adultery occurs and to whom the adultery was relevant.
For most DTR advocates this adultery begins as a result of believing Jesus abolished the Old Testament divorce concession. Thus they believe Jesus changed divorce possibility or made divorce impossible and therefore the teaching of Jesus (for them) is applicable going forward. In other words Jesus’ teachings is not applicable to whom He was speaking historically. It becomes applicable by adding the abrogation supposition, understand? This oversight and addition to Jesus’ teaching is the ground work for even more suppositions that are legalistic in nature. Particularly the “divorce to repent” supposition itself, for they are claiming divorce is necessary for salvation sake.
The perception that Jesus changed marriage to being indissoluble is what drives those who advocate DTR. They believe this adultery to be the same as that punished in the law of Moses. But the truth is this adultery was not punished throughout the Old Testament. The adultery Jesus describes happens after the first marriage ends and because it ends prematurely (before death). If one overlooks the retrospective application of Jesus’ words, they cannot account for this adultery in the Old Testament. Therefore they have to account for it some other way, How? By believing abrogation. I cannot over emphasize the problem suppositions cause for this issue. Take a fresh look a the comment threads on any site that deals with divorce and remarriage. You have a spectrum from the licentious all the way to the legalist. But my point is, if you believe abrogation or the abolishment of the divorce concession, you will arrive at the legalistic end of the spectrum. Thankfully there are balanced perspectives also.
One way of having a balanced perspective on this issue is recognizing supposition. That’s because supposition drives supposition. For example the false supposition of abrogation produces the false supposition of indissoluble marriage. That false supposition produces the false belief that divorce is no longer effective. That false supposition produces the false belief that the adultery Jesus described is happening in the first marriage. That false supposition produces the false belief that remarriage itself is the adultery, etcetera. If that false supposition is believed, wouldn’t you then suppose that God would want you to repent of your marriage if the marriage itself was the adultery?
That’s what DTR advocates are telling those who are remarried. They believe a divorced and remarried person is still married to their first spouse or some would say they are still in a one-flesh relationship with the first spouse. Consequently they READ INTO Jesus’ teachings the idea of “indissoluble marriage” or “indissoluble one-flesh union.” These ideas for them explain the ensuing adultery but they don’t realize they have changed how Jesus described this manner of adultery nor to whom it was relevant. They have overlooked the retrospective indictment Jesus was making against those who divorced throughout the Old Testament. By believing Jesus made the husband/wife relationship indissoluble, they imagine the adultery to be occurring in the first marriage and see remarriage as merely one long case of adultery. By changing Jesus’ words to fit their suppositions they have changed how this manner of adultery occurs from that which Jesus described.
Their suppositions misconstrue Jesus’ words, but it all starts when biblical precedents become irrelevant by believing abrogation. Precedents where remarriage resulted in a binding marriage even though it caused a shameful consequence. My post have primarily opposed DTR. That’s because their suppositions have caused so much confusion for this issue by creating a whole new dimension not even in the bible. Their suppositions are a contentious issue for Christendom today while not even being part of New Testament dialogue. Supposing a remarried individual is still married to their first spouse causes much confusion for this issue. My heart goes out to those who are victimized by DTR which exacerbates divorce and destroys families.
Conversely, if Jesus’ words are understood contextually He would be understood to be speaking retrospectively about what hard heartedness caused Israel. When this adultery is understood to be happening in the Old Testament the abrogation supposition is proven a lie. Therefore this manner of adultery is not something new, not something happening in the first marriage, thus not that adultery. Therefore not the adultery described by abrogation. We then should realize that biblical precedents were not abolished. When we understand Jesus did not contradict Moses, Moses and Jesus can be and should be read harmoniously. We then understand that even though a shameful consequence occurs because of divorce, remarriages were binding marriages to be honored as such.
I should emphasize that both Jesus and God knows that the inadvertent shameful consequence that women experienced when remarried was the fault of their husbands for divorcing them (Matt. 5:32, Deut.24:4). I want to say here that there is often an innocent party in divorce today. I see God’s grace in allowing remarriage in the Old Testament and I’m not for keeping people out of marriage except if they are within the New Testament circumstance in which Paul prohibited it. I want to reiterate my main points in short propositional statements so as to expose supposition.
*Miss the retrospective relevance Jesus made to His convent people Israel about adultery and you will account for adultery some other way. DTR does exactly that.
*Add abrogation (or the idea) to Jesus’ teachings and you are poised to believe marriages no longer end.
*If you believe marriages no longer end you will also believe that the adultery that occurs in remarriage is the same adultery that was punished.
*If you believe in indissoluble marriage you will believe in perpetual adultery.
*If you believe in perpetual adultery for those remarried you will advocate the “divorce to repent” supposition.
*If you advocate the “divorce to repent” supposition you will be legalistic.
*If you add rules to the bible for salvation sake, then your own salvation is suspect because you are perverting the Gospel.
A legalist by definition is one who adds rules to the bible for salvation sake.

I have repented, and i know god forgives my sin. But i know i need to get out of the sin. My wife will not let me divorce her.I am so worried about my salvation. Please advise sir. thanks
Stick with your wife , you were not even in Christ when you married the first two.
What you did prior to being born again is covered by the blood of Christ, the word of God and the teaching therein is for believers. It's not a salvation issue either. So being born again you are forgiven and are NOT in adultery and you haven't committed adultery after believing, you have stayed faithful to the woman you have married in Christ. That counts for a lot, stay with her and be the best husband you can.
Study the Greek word apoluo.
So we are under the Law and not Grace?

"Except" for fornication....🤔
Jesus used the one word FORNICATION as the only exception for divorce. What is FORNICATION? It is UNMARRIED PERSON having a sexual relationship. ONLY AN UNMARRIED PERSON can commit FORNICATION. ADULTERY can only be committed by someone who is MARRIED. Jesus was simply pointing out that the woman was not a virgin BEFORE she got married, she had committed FORNICATION. If this was UNKNOWN to the man BEFORE he married her, he was deceived, and therefore he could divorce her then. This word FORNICATION has been substituted for other words that can be interpreted to include GENERAL SEXUAL MISCONDUCT. This allows for persons to use this as an excuse to say that you can divorce someone for INFIDELITY. This is one of the MANY reasons why I stick with the KING JAMES VERSION of the BIBLE.
Succinctly explained! Despite divorce because of fornication, it still does not mean that the divorcees can go and remarry other people (because the marital covenant still stands). However, they can choose to FORGIVE the fornicator and maintain their marriage instead of divorcing. ONLY death permits one to get remarried.

Does that mean Abraham is not going to be in heaven, Mr. Harper? The Law of Moses was written then...I'm glad Jesus had more love and compassion than you do.

@@estherjones4986, God had nothing to do with some so-called "marriages."
Abraham was under the patriarchial law not the law of Moses, get your facts straight before you make comments
Deuteronomy 24:4 is why those who have remarried (rightly or wrongly) should stay remarried. He says that going back to the first spouse is an abomination - quite strong language don’t you think?
That’s why elders can endorse that (responding to minute 23:48)
Sadly this type of preaching does little to persuade people, shaming those who disagree with you, assuming bad intent, circular logic, and worst of all stating you won’t be saved unless you lead a perfect life you won’t go to heaven (see minute 25:29 - this is preaching a works based religion). We are to uphold the law, that will not save us nor condemn us.
He also ignores 1 Cor 7:15 - if someone has been abandoned by a non believer they are free. Free from what? We’re all free in Christ. They are free to remarry. As this preacher would say, there’s no misinterpreting that.
The preacher also happens to avoid asking why God hates divorce. Isn’t it because it damages us and those around us? Let us not be so quick to repeat tragedies to somehow atone for past wrongs.
There’s also one final error, if marrying another means you’ve committed adultery, doesn’t it then imply that your partner has the right to divorce you anyway? If they have done so, you are then unmarried, and therefore free to remarry.

How do you reconcile Deuteronomy chapter 24, which is what Jesus was referring to when the religious leaders asked if you can divorce for *any cause* which is what men were using in Deut. 24 to excuse frivolous things like divorcing over not liking how she cooks or she isn't as pretty anymore. THIS is what Jesus was addressing, that you can't divorce over dumb stuff. It has to be a breaking of the covenant. You have to read an entire chapter and understand the context rather than lobbing a portion of a scripture at people like a stone.
And speaking of stones, Deuteronomy is a book of the Law. It tells you about certain things you should stone people over, including rebellious children, stealing, and adultery (cheating on your spouse). It then goes on to say if you divorce a woman for uncleanness and give her a certificate of divorce, she can go and be another man's wife, which can go on and on into perpetuity, but the Bible says not to remarry a former spouse after such a thing, which it calls an abomination. However, it does not ever call remarriage adultery. It also doesn't ever say to stone someone for remarriage, so how do you reconcile that?
How do you reconcile the fact that God divorces Israel for her adultery and makes a new covenant with the Gentiles?
You can divorce over sexual immorality and remarry and people say you can't. I'd rather listen to the Bible. God is a God of mercy and forgiveness. He isn't going to punish a poor spouse who's constantly cheated on and tell them they have to sit in that forever if their spouse refuses to repent.
Go and read all of your Bible and learn who God is. He is not a legalistic father who expects perfection of us.
@@em77775 why don't you read Malachi 2:13-16 where God told prophet Malachi that HE hates Divorce...why don't you read the new testament where Jesus Christ has taught about Marriage Divorce and being remarried as an act of Adultery..why do you have to keep and focus yourself about Deutronomy 24?

Yes but in the OT there was also provision for divorce, however much God might hate it. We need to distinguish between God's ideal and what God allows either for our hardness of heart or because we're weak. A lot of the replies here have no pastoral heart in them..
@@neilmccall5311 Just because God allows me to sin, that does not make it acceptable for me to do.... ever. For 2500 years prior to Moses, there was no God approved divorce. The Divorce allowed by Moses was for sin management so sin wasn't compounded and made worse. Marriage is until death. Gomer was Hosea's wife no matter who Gomer slept with, lived with and no matter for how long. The Pastors heart should be to honor God and hold people accountable for their sin in a gentle, loving, and firm way. Condoning or enabling sin is never pastoral, but rather it is actually negligent, sinful, idolatrous, and seditious. We are all sinners who must wrestle with our own sinful pride and our frequent compromising and disobedience of God's instructions. Pastor's pride will surface when challenged which is why humility is so important.

@@samuelswenson15051corint. 7. A wife is bound is to remain UNmarried or reconcile to husband. NOT EX husband.
The same word in 1 Corinthians 7:8 for unmarried (agamos) is the same word used in verse 11. If unmarried (agamos) means never been married then explain why verse 11 says that women who separates from her husband must remain unmarried (agamos)?Why would Paul say that a woman who separates from her husband is now unmarried (agamos) if the word unmarried (agamos) means never been married. Unmarried means that they were married but are now un-married the word virgin in the text is to those who never were married not the word unmarried. The word gamos means wedding or marriage. The word agamos means un-married or a marriage that is undone by divorce. Hence why Paul says in verse 11 of 1 Corinthians 7 that the woman who separates from her husband is now unmarried (agamos). God is not playing word games and he is very straight forward and that is why the word unmarried (agamos) means those who were married and are now unmarried. If it were not so then Paul would not have used the word agamos for the never been married and the woman who is now separated from her husband.
when you do not live under the 'law' of Moses, then you do not live under God's 'law' which makes you a sinner and unredeemed. you sir, are a sinner when you reject God's instructions, the torah, the instructions to life.
Those who are in Christ Jesus are no longer under Mosaic Law, which by the way, was given to the people of Israel.
2 Corinthians 3:7-18
The Glory of the New Covenant
7 The old way, with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away. 8 Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life? 9 If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God! 10 In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new way. 11 So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever!
12 Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away. 14 But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. 15 Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand.
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord-who is the Spirit-makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
This guy actually believes and he looks like kind and sweet brother in the Lord but he actually believes that the word fornication in this context in Matthew 19 is referring to sex outside of marriage no
It’s referring to in this context sexual immorality in general which can be pornography sexual perversion it’s a wide envelope.
It’s actually a reference back to Deuteronomy where it says if a man finds uncleanliness and his wife which means sexual immorality in general he can divorce.
He wasn't there to minister to the Samaritans which are half-jewish the same thing Jesus was he was half-jewish his dad was God remember he related to these people stayed with him several days and many believed on him why would he go several days and preach the gospel and convert them if that's not what the case was remember the letter of the law Killers but the spirit giveth life got to be baptized in the Holy Ghost have a full understanding of what the spirit was saying cuz it's written under the divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit
when my ex threw a coffee table on me and crushed my face may be time to leave
Yes seperation get to safety NO biblical grounds for divorce.
1 Corinthians 7:10-11
10 But for those who are married, I have a command that comes not from me, but from the Lord. A wife must not leave her husband. 11 But if she does leave him, let her remain single or else be reconciled to him. And the husband must not leave his wife.
*** GOD DOES PROVIDE A WAY FOR THE ABUSED...MAN OR WOMAN...ONLY TWO OPTIONS...REMAIN SINGLE OR BE RECONCLED.

You're wrong
No he's not. You just want to look for permission to live in sin
The Lord has sent new spouses into the lives of many divorced Christians; some have been happily married for decades, even in ministry. Ideally, divorce and remarriage should not exist, but we live in a fallen world and people make mistakes. Once the remarried couple confess the sin, God FORGIVES.❤ They do NOT live in a perpetual state of adultery.

Another dark legalist presentation on divorce/remarriage. Yes, there are people who abuse divorce/marriage. But the Lord in Matthew 19:9, allowed an innocent party, after no repentance from a spouse, to divorce and remarry a new Christian partner. These people teach that marriage is all or nothing. I agree that there is too much divorce for non-adultery reasons. However, to say that remarriage is impossible, directly contradicts the Lord's provision. Teachers like these are going to be harshly judged for subjecting innocent parties to a lifetime of hurt and loneliness. They should also read about end-times heresy in I Timothy 4: 1-5. The Apostle Paul said that there would apostasy in the end times of heretical teachings of "forbidding to marry." Look what this teaching has done to the Catholic Church ! The Catholic Church and this guy should really look in the mirror and repent of being a modern-day Pharisee.
How can I you apply the verse "forbidding to marry" to a divorced person's situation?
the so called ' divorced' person is STILL married to their covenant spouse in Gods eyes.
the person in the remarriage is refusing to honour their marriage covenant. Forbidding to marry= the people who say "the rapture is going to happen, so don't get married." They are wrong because you are allowed to get married if one has never been married or their covenant spouse is dead.
God finds out who the real followers are when he inserts himself between them and their passions. This pastor is following Jesus who you reject as legalistic. Matt 19:9 gives an out if there was never a valid marriage. But pastors lose people if they preach that. So the new interpretation is that adultery all of a sudden invalidates a valid union. It wounds it for sure but what God has joined let no man put asunder.
That is NOT what Jesus is saying in Matthew 19:9!
He is speaking of fornication before marriage while betrothed. Like Joseph thought to "put away" or divorce Mary because she was pregnant. He thought she had fornicated while betrothed.
Married people don't fornicate, it's always adultery. Once your married, it's a blood covenant until death.
"What God has joined let NO MAN separate."
You are terribly deceived. God has allowed Satan to blind your eyes, and stop your ears, because you have hardened your heart against his truth. Your belly is your god.
