Thank you for sound advice on this subject. I was discouraged from the kingdom hall when I saw first hand the amount of men and women who were openly disloyal to their husbands and who committed adultery. Divorce is such a sad process - it should never be entered into lightly - those who are disloyal will be rejected by God. God honours the loyal.

[@chaycontiga7068]

Hi. I currently don't have a permanent Church right now and I am seeking spiritual guidance regarding voiding my marriage. We didn't have a marriage license, we were married in court and we were never married at a church. The documents we used to forgo a marriage license were falsified. But we were married because of these falsified documents. My lawyer says this is a valid reason for our marriage to be voided. But in the eyes of God are we married if we had falsified documents?

[@Jericho-xs3ju]

Maurice… Yeah. Run away from Gino He’s a fraud and a show man. Search Greek translation of the passages that he bases his false teachings on. Then click on the blue letter Bible and it gives you the Greek meaning of the words. You will find the Greek work “G630” has been translated “divorce” when it is actually “send away” which is not divorce. If you look at the law and Old Testament sending away was the men of old just kicking thier woman out without giving them a certificate of divorce without giving her a certificate of divorce. But sending away is not divorce that is why it was commanded to give a certificate of divorce and send away so she was free to re marry. So if someone married or was with a woman was with a woman that was sent away they would be committing adultery because she is still married unless she was given a certificate of divorce. If she was given a certificate of divorce she is no longer married and free to marry.

[@Jericho-xs3ju]

Have you looked at the original Greek. The Pharisees were asking about sending away. Not divorce. If a woman is sent away without a certificate of divorce she is not feee to re marry because she is still married. The geeek reads whoever married one that is sent away commits adultery. It’s not divorce. If you read it the way the text is. There are no contradictions. If you read it as divorce that is inserted by biased translators Paul contradicts Jesus and Jesus contradicts his own law.

[@ajlouviere202]

The divorce and remarriage for adultery doctrine is based solely on the supposed guilt of the wife in Matthew 5:32, and Matthew 19:9. However, the wife in Matthew 5:31-32 is clearly not guilty of fornication because the Jews that Jesus was speaking to were still living under the law, and if fornication was discovered, there was a moral obligation to report the offender according to Deuteronomy 22:13-24. The wife, who would have been found guilty of fornication, was subsequently stoned to death, according to the law, which had still governed the Jews up until Christ's death on the cross. The same for a woman caught in adultery, according to Leviticus 20:10. How could a wife, guilty of fornication, or adultery, under the law of Moses, be given a writing of divorcement and be caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her, that is divorced? Jesus is clear, in these examples, that the wife is not guilty of fornication, but is still caused to commit adultery if she marries another man now that she is divorced. This is the only way that Matthew 5:31-32, and Matthew 19:9 keep harmony with Romans 7:2-3, and 1 Corinthians 7:39. Unlike the synoptic gospels of Mark and Luke, which were written to evangelize the Gentiles, Matthew was written to the Jews, and has of 24 characteristics that identify it as intended for the house of Israel. The ancient Jews called the betrothed (engaged) "husband" and "wife" according to Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Matthew 1:18-25, and Luke 2:5-7. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage) was never for fornication or adultery. Allowing those guilty of fornication and adultery to remain living and become a prospect for remarriage was against the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22:13-24 and Leviticus 20:10, which commanded that those who were found guilty of fornication and adultery be put away from Israel, and stoned to death. The law of Moses was not given to the world, only to the Jews. From the exodus, to Christ's death on the cross, the law of Moses governed the Jewish people. But when Jesus died on the cross, he caused the Jews to be dead to the law of Moses so they could be joined to Christ under a New Covenant. This is what Jesus's fulfillment of the law of Moses, including Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage), means. Paul gave several warnings to Christian believers against keeping the law of Moses over following Christ and his commands under the New Covenant with Christ. Keeping the whole law is no longer possible for those in Israel and that is why Christ prophesied that the temple would be destroyed. These scriptures make it clear that if you choose the law over Christ, that you must keep the whole law: Romans 7:4, Galatians 3:1-9, Galatians 3:10-29, Galatians 4:1-7, Galatians 4:21-31, and Galatians 5:1-15. Being unequally yoked to unbelievers is not a cause for divorce, once two become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, according to 1 Corinthians 7:12-14. Many one-flesh covenant marriages between unbelievers are recognized by God in the scriptures, most notably the marriage covenants between Herodias and King Herod's brother Philip, Potiphar and his wife, Ahab and Jezebel, and Ruth to her deceased husband Mahlon by Boaz when he took her to be his wife. Some are teaching that 1 Corinthians 7:15 implies that those who are abandoned by the unbeliever, are "no longer bound" in a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The reason this is in conflict is due to the way they word it, which gives it an entirely different meaning, and context. 1 Corinthians 7:15, says, "15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace." As you can see, the actual scripture says "not under bondage," which means that the husband or wife is not enslaved to sin with the unbelieving spouse, and is free to worship Christ in peace. Subsequent translations have changed the words to imply that they nullify the marriage covenant, when this is not at all the case. The issue that this creates is with 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, which says, "10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife." As you can see, those who claim 1 Corinthians 7:15 has the Apostle Paul giving permission to remarry do not understand that the abandoned husband in 1 Corinthians 7:11 is expected to also remain unmarried, in order to be reconciled with his wife. The theory that 1 Corinthians 7:15 nullifies two as being one-flesh in marriage puts the Apostle Paul directly at odds with Christ, by implying that he has issued an opposing command. Some also teach that 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 is referring to both divorced men and virgin women, and not exclusively to men and women (virgins) who have never been married. This has been falsely taught for some time in churches as referring to anyone who is not currently in a marriage, which, for them, also includes those who are divorced. This is a very false assumption, and puts these verses in a different context, that is at odds with both the teachings of Christ and the apostle Paul. We see Paul refer to virgins, which signifies the unmarried who have never before been wed, which is the proper context here. We see Paul saying clearly that it is good for virgins, which is also speaking to never before wed men here, "that it is good for a man so to be." He goes on to say, "Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife." Who is he referring to here? Men who, like himself, have never married. The word "bound", in these verses, is a clear reference to betrothal (engagement) and not to a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The ancient Jews were considered bound as husband and wife during the betrothal (espousal/engagement) before becoming one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, through consummation. This is affirmed by the context of the term "bound" seen in Numbers 30:14-16. The Jewish couples in ancient Israel, who were betrothed (engaged) were also bound together until death, either by execution for fornication, or by other causes. Then Paul says, "But and if thou marry, thou has not sinned", which is who? The men who had never married in the congregation at Corinth. So he begins with verses 25-26 speaking exclusively to men that have never married. Paul then says, "and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned", which is speaking directly in regard to virgin women who have never been married, within the congregation, not divorced women. Notice that verse 34 says, "There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband." Paul speaks plainly when he says "there is a difference between a wife and a virgin." Paul goes on to say, "But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry." This is speaking of a virgin who has become of age to bear children when it says, "let them marry." This is a clear command, to a single man, who has taken a virgin to be his wife. Paul then says, "Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well." This is referring again to the single man who decides it is better not to marry, but to stay betrothed (engaged), under the present distress, by saying that he "hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin." Paul then says, "So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better", which again means single men, in the congregation, who have betrothed a wife, do well if they marry, and those who choose not to marry their virgin brides do better, under the current climate. For more proper context of the word "bound", let's look further down in this chapter to verse 39, which says, "39The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:39). For so long, these scriptures, between verses 25-38, have been twisted and used to enable divorce and remarriage, by wayward churches and teachers, and have caused many to stumble and to be trapped in unscriptural unions. The use of the woman at the well, in regard to marriage, falsely implies that Christ was endorsing remarriage after a divorce. This teaching is in defiance of Matthew 22:23-28, which shows a woman who had been widowed seven times, and entered into each subsequent marriage without any scriptural conflicts with God's law of marriage (one-flesh covenant) seen in Genesis 2:23-24. Mark 10:1-12 and Matthew 19:1-12 both record Christ's teaching that day beyond the Jordan. There is no mention of the words "fornication", "writing of divorcement", or "divorced" in Mark's Gospel, because Mark was not written to the Jews (as Matthew's Gospel was), but to evangelize the Romans and Greeks, who had no knowledge of the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22 or Deuteronomy 24. All of these facts draw a clear understanding that remarriage after a divorce, under the New Covenant with Christ, is a scripturally false and baseless teaching. Please use wisdom when living in any situation against what the scriptures command.

So if punishment was death then adultery would not be mentioned as a reason for divorce because it was punished by death. In addition.

I recognize your name from the Blue Letter Bible set of commentaries and listened to your video about the history of Calvary Chapel. Fascinating! I missed Keith Green’s first visit to Calvary Chapel Riverside as I had to work that night. My roommate was floored! I agree that Divorce & Remarriage is a cultural mess and that it is important to rightly divide the Word of God, not to add or subtract what is written or to use one verse to negate another. As a new believer, I had an inkling of what Jesus said on the subject but was confused because when I looked up a verse, it didn’t say what I remembered. When Christian friends started getting divorced (not to mention when I was being pursued by a strikingly beautiful divorcée), I had to dig deeper. By that time, I had been immersed in logic circuit design and knew how to parse what Jesus said by drawing circles, arrows, x’s (who initiated the divorce), A (for Adultery) and /A (for NOT Adultery), spouse 1 & spouse 2, etc. That’s when I began to notice the differences between the gospel accounts of things. I later found this graphic technique useful while teaching Jr. High Sunday School for a few years, comparing and contrasting the gospels, and mapping the OT, prophesy, and Acts. Computer designers historically constructed a Truth Table (its all buried deep in software these days) then transfer each True, False, and Don’t Care entry to a Karnaugh Map, where it can be reduced into simplest terms without losing any defined Truth. When one is defining what is adultery, one isn’t necessarily defining what isn’t. If that was Christ’s intent, he either contradicted himself or the writers of the gospels got something very wrong. Also, if the intent is to define whose fault the divorce was, it doesn’t automatically negate the definition of what is regarded as adultery regardless of fault. I don’t like what I found. It doesn’t seem fair, but we have to assume that what is written is what he meant, it’s for our good, and that if we stand on the rock, we won’t be moved by really bad weather. I invite you to explore those verses using that technique, including those in Romans and 1 Corinthians. It’s also interesting to note the context of Christ’s responses, in particular, what point did he just finish making? Forgive?? Odd, isn’t it?! He gave me guidance to avoid the possibility of being regarded as worse than a demon of hell by adding my human hypocrisy to the sin of impairing the will of God which devils do without apology, that is, the reconciliation of that divorcée with her husband (God is not willing that any should perish, or that I should give her husband another reason to hate God).

My conclusion is anyone that supports remarriage is either in it themselves or know someone close to them who is in it usually family members or their beloved congregants.

While there are people who lived in fornication for years and years before getting saved. Apparently for them it’s simple, you repent and you can start all over, nobody has nothing to say. But if they hear of a divorce, suddenly mercy and forgiveness don’t apply to you anymore! That is called hypocrisy! And God does not show ANY favouritism when it comes to repentance and mercy. If anything, people who slept around their entire life you would think it’s worse than someone who happened to divorce once because of abuse or whatever horrible reasons. Yet, people treat divorcees like some sort of criminals! No redemption for them. Ah the doctrines!!! God is big enough to redeem and forgive ANY sin. He redeemed Paul who was a murderer and cannot redeem someone who divorced because they were abused ???? People are so blind and just like the Pharisees ZERO mercy and obsessed to be right and follow laws they themselves cannot keep up with.

@@ambaonfireforjesus4802 Of course! But look at this , from 1 Timothy chapter 4: The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. “ They forbid people to marry.” First of all these religious people need to understand that not all marriages were unified by God. The Bible says “ whatever God has joined together let no man separate”..How many people go to God before taking this decision? What about unbelievers? Is it not clear that God does not join everyone together? Then a God who has called us to freedom and peace, how can the same God keep us in bondage to people who destroy us or for past mistakes? There is so much religion and so little mercy. I grieve for the young women and men of course who feel guilty and are scared to start a normal life because of religious people. Is it better to lust then? Not to mention someone who is mistreated and abused cannot live a normal life in the Lord. How do you live for God when you are full of worry, mistreat and abuse. God is calling us to freedom. Or how can you reconcile with an unrepenting spouse? It’s beyond the imagination how much torture religious people inflict on people .. I pray to God that these people will be comforted and somebody will tell them the truth so they can live a normal life. ☹️💛

[@momentuminlife4444]

If you are divorced, like I am, 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. God bless.

[@ajlouviere202]

Momentum in Life I would just like to add a few points: The divorce and remarriage for adultery doctrine is based solely on the supposed guilt of the wife in Matthew 5:32, and Matthew 19:9. However, the wife in Matthew 5:31-32 is clearly not guilty of fornication because the Jews that Jesus was speaking to were still living under the law, and if fornication was discovered, there was a moral obligation to report the offender according to Deuteronomy 22:13-24. The wife, who would have been found guilty of fornication, was subsequently stoned to death, according to the law, which had still governed the Jews up until Christ's death on the cross. The same for a woman caught in adultery, according to Leviticus 20:10. How could a wife, guilty of fornication, or adultery, under the law of Moses, be given a writing of divorcement and be caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her, that is divorced? Jesus is clear, in these examples, that the wife is not guilty of fornication, but is still caused to commit adultery if she marries another man now that she is divorced. This is the only way that Matthew 5:31-32, and Matthew 19:9 keep harmony with Romans 7:2-3, and 1 Corinthians 7:39. Please use wisdom when living in any situation against what the scriptures command. The ancient Jews called the betrothed (engaged) "husband" and "wife" according to Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Matthew 1:18-25, and Luke 2:5-7. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage) was never for fornication or adultery. Allowing those guilty of fornication and adultery to remain living and become a prospect for remarriage was against the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22:13-24 and Leviticus 20:10, which commanded that those who were found guilty of fornication and adultery be put away from Israel, and stoned to death. The law of Moses was not given to the world, only to the Jews. From the exodus, to Christ's death on the cross, the law of Moses governed the Jewish people. But when Jesus died on the cross, he caused the Jews to be dead to the law of Moses so they could be joined to Christ under a New Covenant. This is what Jesus's fulfillment of the law of Moses, including Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage), means. Paul gave several warnings to Christian believers against keeping the law of Moses over following Christ and his commands under the New Covenant with Christ. Keeping the whole law is no longer possible for those in Israel and that is why Christ prophesied that the temple would be destroyed. These scriptures make it clear that if you choose the law over Christ, that you must keep the whole law: Romans 7:4, Galatians 3:1-9, Galatians 3:10-29, Galatians 4:1-7, Galatians 4:21-31, and Galatians 5:1-15. The phrase "sexual immorality" being used in Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9, in place of "fornication", creates conflict with what is written about fornication and adultery in Hosea 4:13-14, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, and Galatians 5:19-21. Being unequally yoked to unbelievers is not a cause for divorce, once two become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, according to 1 Corinthians 7:12-14. Many one-flesh covenant marriages between unbelievers are recognized by God in the scriptures, most notably the marriage covenants between Herodias and King Herod's brother Philip, Potiphar and his wife, Ahab and Jezebel, and Ruth to her deceased husband Mahlon by Boaz when he took her to be his wife. Some are teaching that 1 Corinthians 7:15 implies that those who are abandoned by the unbeliever, are "no longer bound" in a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The reason this is in conflict is due to the way they word it, which gives it an entirely different meaning, and context. 1 Corinthians 7:15, says, "15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace." As you can see, the actual scripture says "not under bondage," which means that the husband or wife is not enslaved to sin with the unbelieving spouse, and is free to worship Christ in peace. Subsequent translations have changed the words to imply that they nullify the marriage covenant, when this is not at all the case. The issue that this creates is with 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, which says, "10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife." As you can see, those who claim 1 Corinthians 7:15 has the Apostle Paul giving permission to remarry do not understand that the abandoned husband in 1 Corinthians 7:11 is expected to also remain unmarried, in order to be reconciled with his wife. The theory that 1 Corinthians 7:15 nullifies two as being one-flesh in marriage puts the Apostle Paul directly at odds with Christ, by implying that he has issued an opposing command only four scriptures later. The other false claim that is being widely used is that 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 is referring to a divorced man and a virgin woman who has never been married. This has been taught for some time in churches as to refer to anyone who is not currently in a marriage, including the divorced. This is a very false assumption, and puts these verses in a different context that is at odds with both the teachings of Christ and of Paul. We see Paul refer to virgins, which signifies the unmarried who have never before been wed, which is the proper context here. We see Paul saying clearly that it is good for virgins, which is also speaking to never before wed men here, "that it is good for a man so to be." He goes on to say, "Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife." Who is he referring to here? Men who, like himself, have never married. The word "bound" in these verses is a clear reference to betrothal (engagement) and not to marriage. The ancient Jews were considered bound as husband and wife during the betrothal (espousal/engagement) before becoming one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, through consummation. This is affirmed by the context of the term "bound" seen in Numbers 30:3-7. The Jewish couples in ancient Israel who were betrothed (engaged) were also bound together until death either by execution for fornication, or by other causes. Then Paul says, "But and if thou marry, thou has not sinned", which is who? The men who had never married in the congregation at Corinth. So he begins with the first two verses, speaking exclusively to men that have never married. If they were married, they were bound to a wife, but if they never betrothed or married, or if they were widowed, they were not bound. Paul then says, "and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned", which is speaking directly about virgin women, who have never been married, within the congregation, not divorced women. Notice that verse 34 says, "There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband." Paul speaks plainly when he says "there is a difference between a wife and a virgin." Paul goes on to say, "But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry." This is again speaking of a single, never before wed man, of youthful age, with a virgin bride who has become of age to bear children "let them marry." Paul then says, "Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well." This is referring to the man who decides it is better not to marry, but to stay betrothed (engaged) to his wife, under the present distress, by saying that he "hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin." Paul then says, "So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better", which means that those among the never before wed in the congregation do well if they choose to marry their betrothed virgin, and those who are also never before married do better if they choose not to, under the current climate. For proper context of the word "bound", let's look further down in this chapter to verse 39, which says, "39The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:39). For so long, these scriptures, between verses 25-38, have been twisted and used to enable divorce and remarriage, by wayward churches and teachers, and have caused many to stumble and to be trapped in unlawful unions. The use of the woman at the well, in regard to marriage, falsely implies that Christ was endorsing remarriage after a divorce. This teaching is in defiance of Matthew 22:23-28, which shows a woman who had been widowed seven times, and entered into each subsequent marriage without any scriptural conflicts with God's law of marriage (one-flesh covenant) seen in Genesis 2:23-24. Mark 10:1-12 is the same biblical record of Matthew 19:1-12, which both record Christ's teaching that day beyond the Jordan. There is no mention of the words "fornication", "writing of divorcement", or "divorced" in Mark's Gospel, because Mark was not written to the Jews (as Matthew's Gospel was), but to evangelize the Romans and Greeks, who had no knowledge of the law in Deuteronomy 22 or Deuteronomy 24. All of these facts draw a clear understanding that remarriage after a divorce, under the New Covenant with Christ, is a scripturally false and baseless teaching.

He divorced me and within a very short time, started seeing a “Christian” woman who had just divorced her husband for non-biblical reasons.

@@marcomeyer7545 The marriage covenant is permanent until death of one of the spouses according to Jesus, not divorce according to man. All remarriage is on going adultery every single time they have sex. To Jesus it is no different than if they were having pre-marital sex or homosexual sex. The homosexual must repent and stop having sex. The fornicator must repent and stop having sex or get married to the person who has never been married before. All adultery sends a person to the lake of fire- Revelation 21:8 no matter if you are a believer. Unbelievers is only one category of souls that sin unto death and face eternal torment. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Galatians 5:19-21 have the same warnings. Mark 10 and Luke 16 give no exception or excuse for remarriage. Many claim to be believers, but they don't prove it by repentance and living sexually pure lives. Acts 15 you must abstain from sexual immorality. My deacon husband was having a 2.5 year affair with my best friend at church while four pastors and about 30 choir members knew. The Lord Himself spoke to me to tell me since I had no idea that our marriage wasn't one of the very best in the church. He spoke to me two days after my 22nd wedding anniversary. I began fighting immediately for saving my marriage. Nine months later I became truly born again knowing the Lord personally and repenting of my own sins. My testimony is on my channel. He did not repent and two years later began divorcing me with the church's blessing. We had changed to a megachurch, and I spoke twice with the pastor (Andy Stanley) asking for help, but no. After fighting it as best I could, he got the divorce, married a much younger woman and had a child. They are very involved in the church, and I have been written out of his life with even my three children being part of his new family so they could stay friends with the extended family who all support the adultery. I haven't even lusted in 11 years and never date because I want to be ready to meet Jesus. The adulteress who was going to be stoned was told to "go and sin no more". To repent of a remarriage you must terminate it, move separately and if God makes a way, reconcile with the original spouse. If reconciliation is not possible, you must remain celibate until death ends the marriage. The Bible tells me so. Cadz.net has lots of information on people who repented from adultery in remarriage.

[@ajlouviere202]

@@kayceestewart1733 the divorce and remarriage for adultery doctrine is based solely on the supposed guilt of the wife in Matthew 5:32, and Matthew 19:9. However, the wife in Matthew 5:31-32 is clearly not guilty of fornication because the Jews that Jesus was speaking to were still living under the law, and if fornication was discovered, there was a moral obligation to report the offender according to Deuteronomy 22:13-24. The wife, who would have been found guilty of fornication, was subsequently stoned to death, according to the law, which had still governed the Jews up until Christ's death on the cross. The same for a woman caught in adultery, according to Leviticus 20:10. How could a wife, guilty of fornication, or adultery, under the law of Moses, be given a writing of divorcement and be caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her, that is divorced? Jesus is clear, in these examples, that the wife is not guilty of fornication, but is still caused to commit adultery if she marries another man now that she is divorced. This is the only way that Matthew 5:31-32, and Matthew 19:9 keep harmony with Romans 7:2-3, and 1 Corinthians 7:39. Unlike the synoptic gospels of Mark and Luke, which were written to evangelize the Gentiles, Matthew was written to the Jews, and has of 24 characteristics that identify it as intended for the house of Israel. The ancient Jews called the betrothed (engaged) "husband" and "wife" according to Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Matthew 1:18-25, and Luke 2:5-7. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage) was never for fornication or adultery. Allowing those guilty of fornication and adultery to remain living and become a prospect for remarriage was against the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22:13-24 and Leviticus 20:10, which commanded that those who were found guilty of fornication and adultery be put away from Israel, and stoned to death. The law of Moses was not given to the world, only to the Jews. From the exodus, to Christ's death on the cross, the law of Moses governed the Jewish people. But when Jesus died on the cross, he caused the Jews to be dead to the law of Moses so they could be joined to Christ under a New Covenant. This is what Jesus's fulfillment of the law of Moses, including Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage), means. Paul gave several warnings to Christian believers against keeping the law of Moses over following Christ and his commands under the New Covenant with Christ. Keeping the whole law is no longer possible for those in Israel and that is why Christ prophesied that the temple would be destroyed. These scriptures make it clear that if you choose the law over Christ, that you must keep the whole law: Romans 7:4, Galatians 3:1-9, Galatians 3:10-29, Galatians 4:1-7, Galatians 4:21-31, and Galatians 5:1-15. Being unequally yoked to unbelievers is not a cause for divorce, once two become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, according to 1 Corinthians 7:12-14. Many one-flesh covenant marriages between unbelievers are recognized by God in the scriptures, most notably the marriage covenants between Herodias and King Herod's brother Philip, Potiphar and his wife, Ahab and Jezebel, and Ruth to her deceased husband Mahlon by Boaz when he took her to be his wife. Some are teaching that 1 Corinthians 7:15 implies that those who are abandoned by the unbeliever, are "no longer bound" in a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The reason this is in conflict is due to the way they word it, which gives it an entirely different meaning, and context. 1 Corinthians 7:15, says, "15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace." As you can see, the actual scripture says "not under bondage," which means that the husband or wife is not enslaved to sin with the unbelieving spouse, and is free to worship Christ in peace. Subsequent translations have changed the words to imply that they nullify the marriage covenant, when this is not at all the case. The issue that this creates is with 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, which says, "10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife." As you can see, those who claim 1 Corinthians 7:15 has the Apostle Paul giving permission to remarry do not understand that the abandoned husband in 1 Corinthians 7:11 is expected to also remain unmarried, in order to be reconciled with his wife. The theory that 1 Corinthians 7:15 nullifies two as being one-flesh in marriage puts the Apostle Paul directly at odds with Christ, by implying that he has issued an opposing command. Some also teach that 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 is referring to both divorced men and virgin women, and not exclusively to men and women (virgins) who have never been married. This has been falsely taught for some time in churches as referring to anyone who is not currently in a marriage, which, for them, also includes those who are divorced. This is a very false assumption, and puts these verses in a different context, that is at odds with both the teachings of Christ and the apostle Paul. We see Paul refer to virgins, which signifies the unmarried who have never before been wed, which is the proper context here. We see Paul saying clearly that it is good for virgins, which is also speaking to never before wed men here, "that it is good for a man so to be." He goes on to say, "Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife." Who is he referring to here? Men who, like himself, have never married. The word "bound", in these verses, is a clear reference to betrothal (engagement) and not to a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The ancient Jews were considered bound as husband and wife during the betrothal (espousal/engagement) before becoming one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, through consummation. This is affirmed by the context of the term "bound" seen in Numbers 30:14-16. The Jewish couples in ancient Israel, who were betrothed (engaged) were also bound together until death, either by execution for fornication, or by other causes. Then Paul says, "But and if thou marry, thou has not sinned", which is who? The men who had never married in the congregation at Corinth. So he begins with verses 25-26 speaking exclusively to men that have never married. Paul then says, "and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned", which is speaking directly in regard to virgin women who have never been married, within the congregation, not divorced women. Notice that verse 34 says, "There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband." Paul speaks plainly when he says "there is a difference between a wife and a virgin." Paul goes on to say, "But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry." This is speaking of a virgin who has become of age to bear children when it says, "let them marry." This is a clear command, to a single man, who has taken a virgin to be his wife. Paul then says, "Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well." This is referring again to the single man who decides it is better not to marry, but to stay betrothed (engaged), under the present distress, by saying that he "hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin." Paul then says, "So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better", which again means single men, in the congregation, who have betrothed a wife, do well if they marry, and those who choose not to marry their virgin brides do better, under the current climate. For more proper context of the word "bound", let's look further down in this chapter to verse 39, which says, "39The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:39). For so long, these scriptures, between verses 25-38, have been twisted and used to enable divorce and remarriage, by wayward churches and teachers, and have caused many to stumble and to be trapped in unscriptural unions. The use of the woman at the well, in regard to marriage, falsely implies that Christ was endorsing remarriage after a divorce. This teaching is in defiance of Matthew 22:23-28, which shows a woman who had been widowed seven times, and entered into each subsequent marriage without any scriptural conflicts with God's law of marriage (one-flesh covenant) seen in Genesis 2:23-24. Mark 10:1-12 and Matthew 19:1-12 both record Christ's teaching that day beyond the Jordan. There is no mention of the words "fornication", "writing of divorcement", or "divorced" in Mark's Gospel, because Mark was not written to the Jews (as Matthew's Gospel was), but to evangelize the Romans and Greeks, who had no knowledge of the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22 or Deuteronomy 24. All of these facts draw a clear understanding that remarriage after a divorce, under the New Covenant with Christ, is a scripturally false and baseless teaching. Please use wisdom when living in any situation against what the scriptures command.

Hi David, Been listening to your podcasts for about 9 months as you go through the bible from Genesis. Learning allot and deeply appreciate your ministry. I have a question in regards to your Teaching on Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage. In your video you state that if a Married individual were to divorce (Unbiblical divorce, not in accordance with 1 Corinthians 7 or Matthew 19) and Remarry someone else that it wouldn't be right for them to divorce again as a sign of repentance. You stated that "it would be trying to correct one sin by the committing of another sin". In this video you also state that divorce is only recognised by God if it is done in accordance with biblical reasonings (1Corinthians 7 and Matthew 19 again.) First Question. If unbiblical divorce isnt recognised by God as divorce, does that mean that in Gods eyes this individual is still married? Follow up Question. IF Yes, Can an individual be married to TWO people in Gods sight? If NO, how is it sinful for the person committing the sin to leave their second "Marriage"? I hope this all makes sense. Would appreciate your answer on this one. Thankyou Brandson

[@timsadventures1954]

In deuteronomy 24 God recognizes divorce and a second marriage being binding. God even forbid those married again to return to their first spouse. If you're first divorce is unbiblical and you married again go back to deuteronomy 24 for your answer. If you have remained single by all means reconcile if possible. I don't give advice but it would only make sense that your unbiblical divorce was sinful your second marriage was sinful, but that is where you are and need to repent of your past sins. Nowhere in the bible is there's anything that promotes divorce to repent, nowhere. If its not in the bible it man made and not of God. You then have to ask yourself what is your second divorce going to accomplish? Then recognize that Jesus is in perfect harmony with Moses and the scripture surrounding divorce was to reveal how the pharisees had convoluted the laws God gave Moses. Don't let the supposition of others control your life. Get qualified counseling before making life changing decisions. In peace

@@timsadventures1954 Yes Tim, I know how Jesus felt about Moses and Deuteronomy 24. He over-rode Moses allowance for divorce and remarriage. Whether or not you can or should return to the original spouse would have to be up to the individual. Paul says you should REMAIN SINGLE. Paul backs up Jesus, and says remarriage is active adultery as long as the original spouse is still alive. Romans 7 King James Version 7 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 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 7:39 King James Version 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.. Jesus said WHOSOEVER divorces and remarries commits adultery. I suspect Tim, that you are remarried and your flesh strongly wants to justify your sin in front of other men. Jesus also has words on this. Luke 16 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

[@timsadventures1954]

@@sandylynn2965 Blessings First of all no sin can be justified or fixed by works. I've asked you to show me where Jesus or any of his disciples told anyone remarried to divorce to repent. You have cited romans where Paul is talking about man's relationship with the law. This has nothing to do with divorce or remarriage and is a common error for those trying to justify their made up divorce to repent (DTR) doctrine. Jesus in luke absolutely said whosoever divorces and marries another commits adultery. Jesus also said when a man divorces his wife it causes her to commit adultery. Jesus didn't say when she marries another he said when her husband divorces her. Could it be that historically and biblically that a divorced woman was allowed to marry another? Let me answer this yes historically and scripturally she was allowed to remarry by the law that God/Jesus gave Moses. You can't refute this as it is biblical and historical fact. Jesus never said those married to another must divorce and return to their first spouse. Jesus never said they must be stoned as adulterers. You need to ask yourself then what is the adultery instead of making assumptions filled with your supposition rather than biblical facts,context, and historical precedents. 1. Biblically divorce is lawful 2. Biblically marriage to another is lawful 3. Biblically marriage to another is not prosecuted by stoning. 4. Jesus never said marriage to another IS adultery. 5. Jesus said said one commits adultery if they marry another 6. Jesus said a man causes his wife to commit adultery when he divorces her. Jesus held the man culpable for the adultery caused by him divorcing his wife. Jesus didn't abrogate divorce or marriage to another he astutely stated the cause and of effect of divorce ending a marriage prematurely. Jesus is Jewish and he followed the law and even stated he did not come to change the law not one jot or tittle. You however have Jesus changing the law in direct conflict of the exact words of Jesus. You should be beginning to see in order to make your supposition and doctrine work you must invert the exact words of Jesus. When Jesus said divorce he meant the premature end of a marriage. When Jesus said marries another he meant they married another. You however have the first marriage surviving the divorce so the subsequent marriage didn’t happen. This is called indissoluble marriage which is another unbiblical doctrine supported only by supposition. Supposition is not scripture and watching KZbin videos authored by those using the same supposition is nothing more than spreading fiction rather than fact. I've given you scriptural facts rather than supposition and by all means show me where I've deviated from the exact words of Jesus and historical facts. I then must ask you if you are a poor, blind, amputee as Jesus described in the sermon on the mount? John 5 46-47 exactly contradicts your supposition about Moses. I pray you and your followers can live up to the standards that do not include the finished work of Christ at the cross. .

If a Christian abandons their spouse, they are certainly in sin, and need to repent. If they don't repent, there may come a time when they might be thought of as an Unbeliever. That should never happen quickly, but many believe that at some point, the Lord would allow the faithful spouse to move on in life without being held back by the sin of their abandoning spouse. They should certainly was it for their abandoning spouse to repent, but if that person doesn't repent, it just might mean that... 1. They are backslidden and need to be disciplined by God 2. They may not truly be saved. 1 Corinthians 7:15 seems to point to this. 15 But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace. Also, Jesus said in Matthew 18 of a sinner doesn't repent after being approached by the entire church, that they are to be treated as an Unbeliever. Matthew 18:17. 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. There is great responsibility for both spouses. The one needs to come home. The other needs to wait as long as God leads them to wait, and as they wait, there should be no romantic involvement with anyone else. Hope this helps.

Repentance never changes a sin into a non sin. People who are gifted eternal life in Heaven are sinners too. The difference is that because of their heart, their sin may be covered by the blood of Jesus. You see, Jesus gave His life in order to pay the price for our sin. If we truly desire and seek God, through a repentant and faithful heart, our sins are cast away as far as the east is from the west. God looks inside a person unlike man who can only see the outside. You can look good to everybody around, but God knows your true hearts desire. Repentance means to turn away from sinful acts. This simply means that an act of sin should be repulsive to you. You will still sin in your life because we are weak people, but it should not be a normal thing. If you ask forgiveness from a genuine heart and make every effort to never do that again, God will forgive you.

[@mychannel-gp6nd]

@@timsadventures1954 The Christian world makes this sound like such a simple thing. It really is simple, but not so simple for those who don't know. The first step is to forget everything you think you know about God and how this world works. Once you recognize that you really don't understand but that you want to understand, then you can open your heart to allow room for God to reveal things to you. Don't try to justify things in this world that happen by your own standards. God is far beyond our standards and we often fail to see that. His standards are what we should reach for, not our own. Don't look to others for teaching you. Seeking God is not done through man. Simply start to talk with Him. Go by yourself somewhere and pray. You may not seem to get any answers from God even for a while of doing this but don't give up on Him. Even when it seems you are speaking to a wall or a empty room, stay focused on God. Yes, man can teach God's truth to others if blessed with that, but your learning from what you hear only comes by God's allowance. Start reading God's word. Yeah, yeah,....you can't understand it. That is OK. The word was spiritually written and must be spiritually discerned. That means that your understanding only comes when God reveals it to you, allowing you to understand. Preachers, religious family or friends, famous writings or any type of man's teaching will only mislead or confuse you unless God allows your understanding. Start trying to change your behavior. Your desires, habits, and influence in your life. You are not going to be able to find success yourself, but God only wants to see your true desire. Your success comes through Him. You can never do anything to earn an eternal life in Heaven. That means that your trying to change your behavior does not earn you anything, but your actions reveal your true hearts desire. God wants to see what you really care about. What do you you really desire? This is what the book of James is saying when it says that faith without works is dead. It is not saying that your works earn you any credit, but rather, your works reveal what is truly in your heart. If your works are willfully sinful then your faith is dead. If you truly desire to know Him, knowing in your heart that Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice to pay the sin debt the we people could have never paid, ask Him into your life and ask Him to change you. Seek His will and repent from sinful ways. Remember that even though you may not see a choir of angels singing in the sky, you my not hear any voices from the Heavens, and you my not get a hand shake and a congratulations from Jesus all of a sudden, God has heard you and He knows your heart. Don't let man or man's evil way push you away from God. The prince of this world will tell you that your efforts are for nothing and you will be under attack. If you stand on faith that Jesus has already overcome all and that He will go through the fire with you, then you will have victory in the long run. That victory comes from Jesus.

AJ Louviere answer mine first and we have a deal. In fact, since you’ve refused to answer all my objections, I will just ask one question again to make things more simple. But first, let me return to the Romans 7 passage. This is not a treatise on marriage, divorce and remarriage. It was addressing the Law. The “law” is mentioned 5 times in the first 4 verses and 12 times in the first 12 verses. Under the Law of Moses, the husband had the right to divorce his wife, but the wife had no such rights. She was bound to him for as long as she lived. Paul doesn’t speak about all the laws pertaining to divorce under the law, just one, to make a point about the old Law and the New covenant. In other words, the old law no longer bound the believer in Christ. We now serve in the newness of the Spirit. He was using one aspect of marriage under the Law to make a point about something else. Now back to my question. If this marriage issue carries eternal life and death consequences, where is there one command, one example given to a new believer or the church to leave their current marriage and break up their home? Paul deals with incest and other abuses in the church. The breaking up of a home would certainly merit some discussion and instruction, for there would have been many in second and maybe even third marriages. Ezra brought this up with only 113 being guilty of having married pagan wives. So give me the example or command and you’ve instantly won the argument.

Hi Pastor David, I love Enduring Word and it is my go-to additional reference. I've recommended it to so many people. I'm so blessed by your love for the Lord. Thank you for all the work you put in it. I'm not understanding why according to the explanation on this video, when a man has divorced for unbiblical reasons and remarries another woman, if they are considered in adultery (as God does not recognize their divorce), why is it ok for them to remain in this sin of adultery. What is the meaning of their repentance if they will not turn back 180 degrees to start making their lives right with Christ? If it is to protect the children of the new adulterous marriage, who will protect the children and wife in the abandoned marriage? I am looking at these among other verses: Romans 6:2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?; Hebrews 10:26 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins; Matt 3: 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. Hoping for clarification. Thank you Pastor David.

[@timsadventures1954]

I have had the same questions as you brought forward. This is not advice just my thoughts and should be taken as such. Once divorce has occurred and either party marries again there is no going back to the first spouse as stated in deuteronomy 24. Taking whole counsel of the bible God does not ask us to unravel the results of our sin only to repent and move forward in the lord. We all know that to reconcile would be the best but due to our sinful nature it does not always happen. I praise God every day for sending his son even though we don't deserve this gift. God has promised us in his word to wipe the slate clean if we repent. There is no act or gesture that makes us worthy only the love of our lord and savior. I think the hardest part is the question of why would God want me after the things I have done. How can he still love me and offer me this gift and all I have to do is call upon his name and believe. When it comes to making life changing decisions I think it people seek qualified counseling and not rely upon KZbin self appointed counselor commenters. I do firmly believe more sin does not fix previous sin and some spend their entire lives trying to unravel past sins only to miss out on the life God wants us to live.

[@godgavemeeyestosee]

If a person divorces for any reason, they cannot remarry while the covenant spouse is still alive (Romans 7:2-3 & 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 & 39). If they do, they are committing adultery (Mark 10:11-12 & Luke 16:18). So to repent of adultery, the person must stop committing adultery. This is the same with any sin. To repent of that sin, you must stop committing it (Proverbs 28:13). Many churches wrongly tend to give couples in adulterous marriages a license to stay in their adultery. Sadly, many Christians are committing adultery and many don't know they are. Do not believe anyone who says you can stay in sin because that is not of God. Believe the Bible no matter what anyone says. Also, Christians do not follow the Mosaic law, they follow the law of Christ. Please read Hebrews chapters 7 & 8. Christians can reconcile with their covenant spouses if they have separated from or divorce them (1 Corinthians 7:10-11). The Old Covenant law in Deuteronomy 24:1-4 that allowed the Jews to divorce was refuted by Jesus in Matthew 19:3-8 and Mark 10:2-12. I hope this helps.

Another verse says, "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh shall have mercy (Proverbs 28:13)." Here's another one: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14)."

Read the book of Isaiah, Hosea, etc. See God’s heart there. God’s intention is ALWAYS reconciliation! Marriage is a COVENANT. Jesus said “expect for FORNICATION” which means that the person getting married was not virgen. Remember how serious this was in this culture. KJV 1960 does not say “except for sexual immorality” if you take this as the true, that means you are allowed to divorce even if your partner look another person and desires him/her in the heart, if you watch a Hollywood movie with all the pornography there...

@@philipbuckley759 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.

Solomon had 300 wives and 400 concubines. Just these four men alone were the most blessed of God, and yet all were serial fornicators/adulterers/polygamists. Just putting this out there to give you something to think about. Legalism will be the death of you, just like the Pharisees.
