- God hates divorce, and the Bible has nothing even close to good to say about it. So why is no-fault divorce rampant in the Body of Messiah today? Why do believers allow their marriages to be torn apart by it? In this episode, Kevin lays out and explains what the Scriptures actually say about divorce and remarriage, then offers some biblically-based advice for believers who have been divorced, have been involved in remarriage, or are right now contemplating either one.

The Biblically Correct Podcast is a ministry of Perfect Word Ministries. Our goal is to equip both Jewish and Gentile believers in Yeshua through sound, Scriptural exhortation to uphold God’s word as their solely authoritative standard for life in Messiah. Our vision is to provide teachings from a Messianic Jewish perspective that promote Yeshua-centric, scriptural principles and values, and confront unbiblical beliefs that are hostile to the Scriptures. We value the Scriptures-from the Torah to the New Covenant Writings-above all religions and traditions of man, not to disesteem those traditions, but to elevate the perfect word of God.
“Every Scripture is God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for refuting, for setting aright, and for instruction that is in righteousness, so that the man of God may be fully equipped-having been completed for every good act.” -2 Timothy 3:16, MJLT www.mjlt.org

Excellent
How many families could have been saved if they had been given this instruction.
Excellent teaching! This is a very touchy subject and there is so much confusion in the church about remarriage! You are RIGHT that remarriage (except for sexual unfaithfulness) is adultery! Thank you for very clear teaching on this!!!
Praise God! I am grateful. Thanks for the comment!
I left my ex-husband for a man Who I am married to today. Does this mean I am constantly living in sin?
@NikkiFindley-mz8er Possibly. This is addressed in the latter part of the video.
Shabbat Shalom, Kevin. I pray you and the family are well, dear brother. Thank you for the edifying and thought-provoking teaching on a subject which has caused much division within the body of Messiah.
Two questions, if I may, Kevin. If one is living in adultery and repents according to scripture (Teshuvah - to return to that which is righteous), how could one stay in that adulterous relationship? Can a thief/drunkard/liar etc. continue to turn to his sin daily after repentance? (I understand King David and most of the Patriarchs had adulterous relationships, which has always puzzled me).
Secondly, Kevin, do you think non-believers who marry/divorce/re-marry are governed by the same biblical laws, brother, or just believers, those who are in covenant with the Most High? Your time is much appreciated, as always, Kevin. Stay safe and well, dear brother. Sabbath blessings to you and yours. David (UK)
Shabbat shalom, David! To the first question, my understanding, especially after this study, is that marriage is marriage. It is unique in Scripture, therefore divorce after any marriage is still divorce-it would just compound the problem. As you pointed out, we have the adulterous example of David, who married and remained married to Bathsheba. It seems to me that the only thing that can “fix” remarriage after adulterous divorce is repentance. I don’t see Scripture suggesting an alternative. It’s just a messy, messy business. Just consider if the remarriage produced children. That second divorce would be just as destructive as the first.
To the second question, it would seem that unbelievers are bound by the same biblical standard just like they stand in judgment for other sins.
The best solution overall is to be careful who you marry, and avoid divorce, which God hates.
I may do a follow up to this video. You’re not the first to pose these questions. (I posed them to myself as I was preparing this teaching.) Thanks and blessings, brother!
@@perfectwordTV Shalom and blessings, Kevin. Thank you, brother, your time is always appreciated. I agree with you, it is a very messy business indeed. I have often thought about the salvation of King Solomon!!! Sabbath blessings. David (UK)
Shalom! Question: what's your take on John 4v18?
Shalom. Can you please clarify and elaborate on your question? Thanks
@@perfectwordTV Of course 😊
The woman Yeshua is speaking with was married. However, Yeshua says that the husband that she's married to at the time of the conversation ISN'T her husband. The text also says that she's been married 5 times.
So in this case, that do you think Yeshua meant by "The one whom you are with, is not your husband", even though she's "legally" married to him?
@johnpratts2856 Thanks for clarifying. No, she wasn’t “legally” married at the time of the conversation. She was cohabitating with a man to whom she was not married, after having previously been married five times.
@@perfectwordTV Ah! Actually that makes sense. 😌 Thank you for your help! Shalom!
In other translations it says, "in case of fornication". The reason Jesus didn't just say, "in case of adultery"..is because if you cheat on your wife, that IS adultery and if your wife cheats on you, that is ALSO adultery...but Jesus uses the word fornication (sexual immorality), which means ANY immoral sexual act.
That makes me conclude that Jesus meant if the wife or husband commits ANY sexual immorality, that means with an animal or with a minor, it constitutes the right for divorce.
That seems a reasonable understanding. Thanks for the comment.
@@perfectwordTV But also, when does the forgiveness come to play in this case? Are we to divorce or are we to forgive..or perhaps both? We could forgive and still divorce? But, if we forgive our spouse why the need to divorce? It's a conundrum!
Divorce is never required. Forgiveness can help bring healing and keep the marriage together.
Very sound teaching! I wish you would have expounded on the definition of marriage first. Marriage is not the certificate I get from the government. Although marriage is laid out in Genesis, it's still not clear. What about "pre-marital sex" if there is such a thing? (Or is a contradiction in terms) Was not Jacob married to Leah after becoming on flesh (Gen. 29:23) even though presumably the feast ( and possibly vows) we're celebrated with Rachel? Therefore, if one has slept with a girl/boyfriend, are they not married in God's eyes?
Thank you! And yes, they are. That will probably be a “prequel” episode to this one. 😊 Thanks for the feedback!
So. If a Saved man commits adultery on his Saved wife and then they get divorced and the man gets married to the woman he was cheating with and stays married to her then would they not be in perpetual adultery until they get divorced? Repentance would be them not being together anymore. Otherwise even if they are sorry to The Lord they are still in adultery. Is that not so?
Was David in perpetual adultery with Bathsheba? Obviously, Scripture doesn’t speak directly to the scenario as you’ve described it. But marriage is unique and somewhat complicated topic in Scripture. While I agree remarriage is at least initially adulterous, if there is true repentance, and God forgives when we repent, I don’t see how the marriage could be adulterous from that point forward. This is covered in the video.
@@perfectwordTV how do they repent being in an adulterous marriage without divorcing and not marrying again?
How did David repent?
@@perfectwordTV what does repentance mean according to your interpretation?
Psalm 51. What’s yours?
