David Pawson. Just to say you are wrong about Jesus not talking about homosexuality. Sex is only between a man and a woman to be fruitful and have children. It is technically true that Jesus did not specifically address homosexuality in the Gospel accounts; however, He did speak clearly about sexuality in general. Concerning marriage, Jesus stated, “At the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh[.]’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate” (Matthew 19:4-6). Here Jesus clearly referred to Adam and Eve and affirmed God’s intended design for marriage and sexuality. For those who follow Jesus, sexual practices are limited. Rather than take a permissive view of sexual immorality and divorce, Jesus affirmed that people are either to be single and celibate or married and faithful to one spouse of the opposite gender. Jesus considered any other expression of sexuality sinful. This would include same-sex activity. Also, are we to believe that any and every action is good unless Jesus specifically forbade it? The goal of the Gospels was not to give us a comprehensive list of sinful activities, and there are many obvious sins that are not found in the “red letter” section of the Bible. Kidnapping, for example. Jesus never specifically said that kidnapping was a sin, yet we know that stealing children is wrong. The point is that Jesus did not need to itemize sin, especially when the further revelation contained in the Epistles removes all doubt as to homosexuality’s sinfulness. Scripture is clear that believers are to have nothing to do with sexual immorality: “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body” (1 Corinthians 6:18). Sexual immorality, whether same-sex activity or otherwise, is a sin against a person’s own body. It is important to note that sexual immorality, including same-sex activity, is listed alongside other sins in Scripture, indicating that God does not rank one sin as worse than another. While the consequences of some sins are greater than others, Scripture often simply lists sins side by side. For example, Jesus said, “Out of the heart come evil thoughts-murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander” (Matthew 15:19-20; see also Romans 1:24-31)

[@sukiliskeselina4553]

I think he was making the point that Jesus didn't specifically say homosexuality is a sin. He did say that divorce and remarriage is a sin. David isn't excusing or allowing homosexuality, he is just focusing on divorce right now. He says in other places that homosexuality is a sin.

If you are divorced, like I am, please do not be deceived, as I once was, into believing that God permits a divorced person to remarry while they have a living covenant spouse. False teachers have been preaching a false doctrine for 500 years, claiming that your spouse’s adultery or abandonment breaks the one-flesh marriage covenant. The Word of God is clear that only death breaks the covenant. Jeremiah Chapter 3 reveals that, although God divorced Israel, she remains his wife and He will take her back when she repents of her adultery. God’s idea of divorce is to put away one’s spouse if they are unfaithful or abusive, but to remain alone and unattached, leaving room for reconciliation if they repent. Only death breaks the one-flesh marriage covenant, which is between two previously unmarried or widowed people. Any other marriage is considered unrepentant adultery in God’s eyes. Genesis 2:23-24 (KJV) 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Matthew 5:32 (KJV) 32 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 19:4-9 (KJV) 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. (Please note that there are over 20 characteristics which prove that the Book of Matthew was written to the Jews, who were still observing the Jewish betrothal (engagement) described in Deuteronomy 22:13-21, which was a one to seven year time of testing to see if the woman (who was referred to as “wife” during the betrothal) would remain faithful. A wedding contract (ketubah) would be signed at the beginning of the betrothal period, but there was no one-flesh permanent marriage covenant until the groom showed up to consummate the marriage. During consummation, the woman lay on a cloth, and the blood on the cloth from the breaking of the hymen was called her “tokens of virginity.” If she could not produce the tokens of virginity, she was put away and then stoned to death. In Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9, where the phrases “saving for the cause of fornication” and “except it be for fornication” are used as the only reason for putting away, this refers to what could be done only up to the wedding night, if the woman had been unfaithful during the betrothal. But, if the woman was able to produce the tokens of virginity, he could not put her away all his days. You do not see the phrases “saving for the cause of fornication” nor “except it be for fornication” in Mark and Luke, because Mark and Luke were written to the Gentiles, who did not observe the Jewish betrothal. Today, any previously unmarried, or widowed, man and woman who say wedding vows to each other and then consummate their vows are in a one-flesh covenant until one of them dies, even if they divorce-in which case, they are to remain unmarried or else be reconciled. Please note, also, that Jesus did away with stoning to death and also set the bar high for forgiveness when he forgave the adulterous woman in John 8:10-11, which says, “10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”) Mark 10:2-12 (KJV) 2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. Luke 16:18 (KJV) 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 7:2-3 (KJV) 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 (KJV) 10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 1 Corinthians 7:39 (KJV) 39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (KJV) 9 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. As you can see, remarriage after divorce, while one still has a living covenant spouse is deemed unrepentant adultery in God’s eyes, and becomes a salvational issue. The only way to repent of this sin is to stop living in it, by going through legal channels to divorce the person whom God does not recognize as your covenant spouse, and to remain alone as long as your first spouse (covenant spouse) is still living.

I am divorced, by my own fault, I have been married 3 times to my first wife twice and my second wife once, I am now living to myself, the wife of my youth is done and I do not blame her. All you have to do is search the scriptures on what is considered adultery and you will find out the New Testament teaching on marriage and divorce. Mat 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: Mat 5:32 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. Mat 19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? Mat 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, Mat 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Mat 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Mat 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? Mat 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. Mat 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. Mar 10:2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. Mar 10:3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? Mar 10:4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. Mar 10:5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. Mar 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. Mar 10:7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; Mar 10:8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. Mar 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Mar 10:10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. Mar 10:11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. Mar 10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. Luk 16:18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

The point of controversy for me is the idea that a woman can be put away and given a certificate of divorce by her husband. If she isn't able to remarry, why even the mention of this certificate? If her former husband takes another wife, is the first wife to remain unmarried in the hope that the second wife will die and the first will be reunited with her husband? That makes no sense.

The key question here is not about a certificate of divorce - its whether marriage is a contract ...which can be broken ...or a covenant that remains until death ?

So, what is my next step? My first marriage was supposed to be a Christian marriage..it was in my eyes anyway. However, several months after, I discovered my husband only went to church to pick up other women, a practice he did before and after marriage. I chose to divorce him for several reasons, all of which I discovered after the marriage, that was purposely hidden from me prior to the marriage: 1) he was a chronic fornicator, 2) he was an avid adulterer, 3) he was a child abuser and molester, 4) he was a murderer of his parents, 5) he was a wife beater, 6) he was a paranoid schizophrenic with tendencies to psychosis. I could list more, but suffice it to say he was horribly unsuitable as a husband, and I had a child to bring up. I did remarry 13 years later, after church counseling, but apparently, this was a grievous SIN. So, what is my next step? After taking it all to the Lord in prayer and repentance, is there more action to take? My new husband is disabled and cannot do without me. He's also a baptised Christian, although not as strong in Christ as I wish him to be. We are working on that. But what is MY next action? Is there more I need to do?

Divorce and remarriage is not likened to the unforgivable sin, nor is it like taking the mark of the beast. One could be living in adultery by being in a new marriage outside of the 1st and actual covenant. However, in repentance with the former spouse and God, its possible God can renew in the new marriage? But (a big but), if one has this sort of knowledge and tests God by divorcing again, well, then, its possible one is mocking Him at that point. And God wont be mocked.

LUKE 16 18 Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery. If Jesus say that is Adultery ... then .. is Adultery 1 Corinthians 6:9 9 Or 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 men,

@@marcelolt most are not your words, but you're trying to make a case God doesnt forgive in an event of a remarriage. If a husband and wife come to Christ in their marriage, yet get divorced within a short span, knowing little about Jesus words on the subject, yet remarry and have a strong conviction of their previous divorce and are repentant, can you make a case God cannot renew both their covenants in their new marriage? Can you make a case God cannot and will not forgive? Can you be bold enough to speak on His behalf and liken it to blaspheming the Spirit that which is unforgivable? If I were you, I woildnt be so "bold" to try to make that case.

Elizabeth J Drake was it a first marriage or widowed for you both? If so, I am so sorry! But if you, like my fake “ex”, actually had a first covenant spouse already (or your partner did) than the marriage you speak of was a fake even if your first spouse left you and you had no kids together. I know because my fake ex goes around to churches speaking of her “stand” for my return to her and our uncovenant 5 kids together. These churches are the kind that believe marriages are only covenant if between believers or between a believer and an unsaved spouse that has stayed with them. So you can see how I try to carefully give my sympathy. As I said I will be in tears if your marriage is covenant.😞 but I rejoice that it ended if it was not.

The Bible speaks in several places with regards to the sanctity of the womb. Psalm 139:13 says: "For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb." This verse explains that God is indeed creating humans in the womb, NOT just when we're born. In Jeremiah 1:5, God says: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." This verse shows that God has a plan for us even before he creates us in the womb. For man to thwart God's plan through the killing of His creation is an abomination. Similarly, God tells Isaiah that He formed him from the womb too: Isaiah 44:24: Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: "I am the LORD, who made all things, who stretched out the heavens alone, who spread out the earth -- Who was with me? In Luke 1:43-44, Elizabeth, the cousin of Mary says: “And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy." It is really sad that so many women kill their own children. It would seem that the prophecy of Jesus has indeed come true in this age: Luke 23: 29 “For behold, the days are coming when they will say, `Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck!” God sees the unborn and Children and that he has a plan for everyone before they are born. The 5th commandment (You shall not kill)

David doesn't support abortion or say the the bible doesn't talk about babies in the womb. He said that Jesus never specifically stated abortion as a sin (which it is). He just said the people ignore what Jesus clearly said about marriage while fighting over other things.

[@sukiliskeselina4553]

Yet God told His people in Ezra to divorce their foreign wives. Because they weren't covenanted to them. If you marry someone for the first for both of you, than God covenants you. Anything after that is adultery (unless one of you die). Divorcing from an adulterous remarriage isn't sin. It is repentance.

@@devipriyaaugustine4387 I think it mostly depends on what God tell the one repenting to do. Generally, I see an adulterous husband or wife who had a child with the other man/woman take the child with them to their covenant spouse. But ultimately it is about what God says to do. If they are listening to God, then whatever they are told to do will be good because God is good.

@@edwardgingerwillis7181 In this video he explicitly states that you should repent and ask the lord Jesus for direction. The problem with divorce is that its not the parents who end up truly suffering, its the children. God may very well release you from that covenant but that would be the exception not the norm. What if you divorce your spouse because they are a drug addict and they come clean and repent, they spend there time earnestly praying to be reconciled to their former spouse and children. All the while you have brought a new guy into your children's lives, they dont like him and want there real family back. I've seen this very situation, I've also seen a husband and wife with five children from 17 to 2 divorce and leave the church. The two oldest left the the state and live with relatives, the dad hasnt been seen since, the 2nd oldest, a boy who wanted to be a pastor is now a drug addict. In two years the family went from being grounded with sure futures to losing all hope. That is the sad reality of divorce that its champions in the church dont realize. Its mostly born of selfishness and its the equivelent of setting off a nuclear bomb in the lives of you and your children. It cannot be your go to, it must be the exception and not the rule.

Who may I ask usually says this until ? Are you aware of Davids personal family circumstances, where Davids teaching directly impacts his loved ones. David was a man of principle - he practiced what he preaches whatever the personal cost. There are three ways to approach controversial topics - 1. start with what the Bible says ........2. Ask what is acceptable in today's culture ....... 3. what makes logical sense for specific people and circumstances ?.... David always took what the Bible says as the Truth ..........no matter how unpopular that may be. And in Davids personal circumstances it carried great personal cost for him in this life

You couldn’t be further from the truth Mr. Pawson. This is what happens when people take the Bible literally and refuse to make use of the brains that God has given them and the evidence as it presents itself. I’ve seen people who realise that their partner was not for them after all, divorced and remarried, and both couples are having wonderful lives with beautiful children. The Bible as you know Mr. Pawson has been edited many times down the ages, and as recently as when the King James Version was being formulated. God does not interfere when someone wilfully changes the Bible, as he has given everyone free will, but readers are expected to use their intelligence and common sense to glean the truth from from the forest of words. You have failed to do, and hence teach ridiculous things to the public. Just take a step back and ponder on all the wrong you are doing.

Either you believe the bible is true or you don't. If you don't believe the bible is true, then don't bash him for believing it to be true. Some versions are much better translations than others, but the original Greek and aramaic manuscripts have been miraculously preserved for over 2000 years. You are right, the bible has been edited throughout the years, and gone through a lot of translations. In fact, the "exception clause" we have today in Matthew is not in the original greek. It doesn't say "except for fornication", it says "not for fornication." If we argue that we can't trust the bible because of translations, or because we shouldn't take the words of Jesus literally, as they are, then it becomes a great big cherry tree that we can cherry pick what we do like and leave what we don't. Say "this part is literal, but this part isn't". That is how you get very false beliefs and preachings.
