- There are more and more Christians teaching and believing wrong and destructive things about what the Bible says on marriage, divorce, and remarriage. In this video David Guzik examines these wrong beliefs and answers them from the Bible.
Read the complete Enduring Word Bible Commentary by David Guzik here: enduringword.com/ - บันเทิง
I have stayed single after being divorced 15 years ago but have so much joy and freedom to love Jesus more and more each day. ❤
That's wonderful, but only SOME are given the gift of celibacy. I'm definitely not.
I have a Christian friend who married and divorced three times before she got serious with her walk with Christ. She said one of the most profound things I have heard on this delicate subject we all need to take to heart.
"Had I known what the bible teaches about the commitment of marriage I would have done two things:
#1 ) I would have taken my time and prayerfully sought God's will in seeking a husband.
#2) Once married I would have worked a lot harder at making my marriage work.
do it now....follow the teaching, of the Bible....there is no...pass...for being or having been ignorant....
I can relate to your friend and totally understand....but still wonder if that's enough to make it right.
@@Kee_Is_Blessed143 The grace and forgiveness of God, accepted by faith in the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ, are sufficient to forgive ALL sin. That includes unBiblical divorce and remarriage. I hope you will listen to the whole message given by Pastor Guzik and accept by faith what the Word teaches on this subject.

Well said! He paid for all sin, and if we can't be forgiven for an unbiblical divorce, what about all the other sins?
Can I be remarried through the church after a divorce of a biblically divorce?
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.
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?
Many Thanks for that I am very grateful for your teaching. You teach with Love in your heart and that is clearly visible. God bless
dont let this....love....trump holiness....

Don't let doubt and disbelief trump faith.
@@timsadventures1954 you are trying to be something, but it dont work....
@@timsadventures1954 huh.....are you remarried....

I'm trying to insure people don't listen to unqualified TH-cam commenter counselor's such as yourself. I'm sure there are plenty of sites you can go to that they would put little 🙏 hands and tell you great guy you are. They might even take your one line advice. Those that look for the whole counsel of scriptures tend to come here and other sites like it. It is unfortunate that you are too insecure and unable to understand what is being said. However you could solve the whole thing by producing the scriptures where Jesus told those remarried to divorce to repent. Courage and honesty would be admitting you can't find it and it is not biblical. Just one line will do.
Thank you David, really difficult to sift through all the teachings out there and live a life pleasing to the Lord. God bless you
And blessings on you!
Yeah.... The spirit of antichrist is now ruling most churches.
I really appreciate this teaching on "Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage." I was taught wrong in this area of life and was glad that you gave correct biblical counseling on this topic. Everything you said regarding the 9 wrongful teachings is exactly what I was taught. I praise God for you. This has been truly a blessing and encouragement. There has been a tremendous burden released from me with this teaching. Praise the Lord! Glory to God in the Highest!
This man has no idea what he's talking about.
You were taught correctly and biblically. This guy is wrong and misguided at best
Don't listen to this guy.
Watch Gino jennings
@@dorisokai4064 Gino Jennings is correct on this issue but not a good example to point people to concerning a real, abiding in Christ preacher
David Guzik seems to forget what Jesus said in Matthew 19 .....Therefore they are NO MORE two but one. Say that again Jesus....Therefore they are NO MORE two but one so what God has joined LET NO MAN including ourselves put asunder.
Absolutely NOWHERE in the scriptures can you find Jesus or the apostles telling anyone about remarriage. Matter of fact they strongly oppose it.
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.
That’s been my encounter everytime I come across this issue with professing believers.
Follow Jesus Follow Jesus one will save themselves much grief if they just listen to Jesus.
All i can say is thank you for bringing this out so clearly. May God grant me wisdom to do that which is right in his sight.
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Blessings!
Thank you so much. Found this "by accident" today when a friend is actually seeing a pastor about divorce!
I wonder how many people are going to be in hell because they SOUGHT out a man instead of GOD HIMSELF. Does your "friend" not have a King James Bible?
Thank you David, for this sound, biblical teaching. Ot has been a blessing to me and I pray to many others.
Can I also recommend Mike Winger's teaching and research on this subject. God bless these men of God.
It gave me peace from the burden that other gives me. God bless you. Teach more brother
Psalm 23:3 He restores my soul. Blessings as you follow Jesus!
Yes others are more condemning
Thank you So much for taking the time on this
Well done David. Answers a lot of questions thanks. Yes we really need to read the "whole" counsel of God on this. And yes God definately provides "forgiveness" when we confess our sins and repent. Gods grace is great. Lets always remember God is a God of compassion, slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness". God loves us dearly and has provided a way we can get forgiveness. Lets go for it and confess our sins and receive His forgiveness and then we can rest in peace and go on serving our wonderful God right where we are now!
So beautiful too many pastors teach gloom and doom as if Jesus did not come and die for our sins thank you for the clarity we all know that we are trying to do better and be more obedient towards God’s will and this helped so much
Did Jesus come to take away the need for repentance?
AJ Louviere He came to do away with the law that our fathers could not keep that was too hard for earth he asked that we believe and have faith in him that God sent him for our sins
@@benstiller3872 ok, so we agree that no one should be keeping Deuteronomy 24:1-4.
@@ajlouviere202
No radishes
@@ajlouviere202 Jesus when speaking to the Pharisees in Matthew did not contradict the OT provisions for divorce either. To say otherwise is heretical
I truly appreciate this teaching right here because when I hear people speak on this and say the things you said what are wrong teachings I felt condemned and not convicted.
By God’s Grace I will now be listening to ur teachings my brother.
In these end times I believe the WORD and only the WORD OF THE LORD
Hello and thank you very much for this work. Is there a script of this lecture? If yes where can I download it and for how much? Thanks again!
Laskarides, there is not at this point. Thank you for your interest in Enduring Word! Many Blessings to you.
@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord can I leave my husband so I can find a more wealthy man. Jesus died so I can do this??? That’s what his blood is for?
@@kayceestewart1733 that is what he is teaching, but not what Jesus taught which is remarriage after a divorce is adultery.
@@ajlouviere202 I know the Kent guy is a false preacher.
@@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.
Thanks Pastor David, this teaching has given me a clearer understanding of what the bible says about marriage, divorce and remarriage.
In respect you should teach Geno Jennings about this subject. He's telling my wife to divorce me to save her soul. Can you give some advice please?
Geno Jennings is a big, fat mess !!!@@mauricedelbe6894 Run, flee and avoid the misuse of the Bible by the monster Geno Jennings. Listen to Pastor David, do well, and prosper !!!! Have your wife listen to Pastor David !!!
David is very humanistic in this interpretation he is wrong
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.
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.
Thank you Pastor David. This teaching is so helpful.
Praise the Lord, thank you Pastor for clearing out some issues, as many advice of divorce and remarriage issues this days is same as Pharisees mentality and it sends many people in condemnation and suffering to the point of brinks of depression. And they couldn’t see where is the mercy and grace of God in their situations.
Show us the scriptures where Jesus allows remarriage after a divorce.
AJ Louviere Watch and LISTEN to the whole recording and he does numerous times! 🤷♀️
@@janejulian1 I'm not talking about what the man in this video says, I'm talking about the words of Christ.

Rye or wheat?
Absolutely, there is Mercy and there is Grace. The Love of God sees all our situations and thank God, HE will judge in the end. Not David Pawson.
My “Christian” husband divorced me after having an affair with a married employee of his (the woman happened to be married to a pastor). When found out , he got down on his knees and begged his other staff to forgive him. Never, not once did he show any godly sorrow or genuine repentance to me. He divorced me and within a very short time, started seeing a “Christian” woman who had just divorced her husband for non-biblical reasons. They fully knew they were not free to marry, but married [outside the church] anyway. Now they tout their blessings from God and seek to show the world (via Facebook videos) that they are so devout and devoted to Christ. I am left betrayed and blindsided. I can’t wrap my head around this and it’s been 5 + years. Where is the justice in this? Where was God? Now you say that even in their continued sexual sin (adultery) they shouldn’t be expected to divorce to right their wrong?
Their "marriage" is not a marriage. It is Adultery. Just because it is legal, civilly, doesn't mean God recognizes it.
They are definitely not serving Christ since he makes it clear that even the wife, who is innocent, is caused to commit adultery as a divorced woman, and whosoever marries her that is divorced commits adultery with her, and should remain unmarried.
My husband did the same thing, and it is on-going adultery that will send him to hell. If he were to repent, he must get a divorce from the illegal marriage and then I have the choice to reconcile with him or not. I have been 11 years keeping my vows without him here in my 37 years. I have a playlist of over 120 videos with the correct doctrine and testimonies.
@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways but acc. to this video he must repent before God but does not have to divorse the new women? But aren't you biblically free to remarry? He already broke to marriage covenant through remarrying another women.? Or am I wrong
@@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.
Incidentally I had finished watching David Pawson where he made a clear exposition on this question. I had never listened to David Pawson but he made more sense to me. Those of you interested should listen to David Pawson and draw a conclusion. One thing I know is, "judge not that ye may not be judged" is a spiritual principles governing the universe. If therefor you are under Grace through divorce and remarriage, extend the same grace to others under a different type of failing
@A Person there are a lot more....because he says the Bible uses three tenses about salvation...past, present, and future....those, who endure, to the end, will be saved.....for example....

Thank you so much for such a thorough and insightful Biblical presentation. It has helped me so much. God bless you.
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.
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.
Herod and Phillip wife union was not a legal marriage according to John the Baptist that is why John lost his head, John warned them and they didn't like it.
Num.30:1 too.
Thank you for this Truthful, descriptive post. Holy Spirit inspired for sure. 🙏
Very concise and to the point, great job 👏
So good Pastor Guzik! Thank you. Cleared up a lot of questions for me. 🙏
I really appreciate ur theologically sound teaching and I feel strongly that a number of God’s teachers r unfortunately ignorant of this sensitive issue and continue to bring guilt and condemnation on believers through their faulty and twisted interpretations of the scripture. I pray the continued wisdom and revelation of the scriptures,through the Holy Spirit upon u.Again I say.Sound and balanced teaching.Blessings 😅😅
Can you get simpler than Mark 10:11-12. Can you allow Satan to twist that. How do you get around marriage again if your wife or husband is alive?
Thank you so much for your perspective that brought me much clarification to the subject I was struggling with
I'm so glad! Blessings in His name.
Didn't Paul said that a wife is bound by the law to her husband until he's dead and that she's only free to remarry when her husband is dead? NOT DIVORCED
Exactly
Now I understand why some churches are not discussing this very sensitive and deep topic.
He just took a hour to explain all of this. Stop bringing more confusion to other people. All the answers are in the bible. God wants the marriage to be and to last and not separate but he also forgive us of our sins if we truly repent from our hearts.
@simon..
If she is legally divorced he is no longer her husband
Paul is using that an example about how the law works
@@normasoto4332 Amen
So what if I divorce my wife and then remarry knowing that as soon as I remarry all I will have to do is confess and ask for forgiveness and be able to stay with the new woman that I am married to? What do you call that?
serial polygamy....
Great point Stas
Called the fruit of an unbeliever, like those in Matthew 7 who say "Lord, Lord" yet Jesus says he never knew them. We needn't worry that people abusing God's laws will get away with it in the end. Being a Christian includes becoming born again, a new creation with new desires (2 Cor 5:17). Psalm 94:9 "He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?" Jezebel had Naboth falsely accused of blasphemy & executed 1 Kings 21. Does that mean God's law on the death penalty was unjust? No, but we needn't fear wicked people will escape God's judgment as we see in 2 Kings 9... and ultimately hellfire.
Adultery
It’s called adultery
thank you for this teaching- I have had many questions about this for some time and its comforting to know what God's word says about it.
Wonderful, thank you for sharing this kind comment. Blessings in His name.
David g….
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.
@@Jericho-xs3ju Yes, I have studied the original Greek, and we have arrived at different conclusions. Let's be gracious to one another and disagree agreeably.
Adultery is defined in scripture as a man taking another man’s wife. So serous that it was punished by death. So if punishment was death then adultery would not be mentioned as a reason for divorce because it was punished by death.
In addition. Paul would contradict Jesus and Jesus would contradict the law of Moses. Which is the law of God.
If you read it as it written. To send away not divorce there are no contradictions
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).
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
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

Brandson, do not listen to Tim's Honda. He is telling you to hang your Eternity on Deuteronomy 24. But Tim is blind, most likely from his own remarriage adultery, his heart is hard and and he doesn't actually believe God when God says remarriage while your original spouse is still alive is active adultery. Brandson, do you know what happened to all those Israelites who got divorces and remarried under Moses? They were all DESTROYED, Right at the edge of the promised land. They enjoyed their sin for a season, like we all do, but In the End, it cost them dearly. If you have any doubts, go read Jude 5.
'5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.'
Deuteronomy 24 is a really shaky verse to hang your Eternity on. It didn't end well for them.

Read John 5 46-47 to find out how Jesus felt about Moses. Will you find for me where Jesus or any of his disciples told anyone to divorce to repent.
One whom marries another commits adultery rather than it being adultery. I myself do not listen to those that can not support their doctrine with actual scriptures. Those promoting divorce to repent are making up their own laws rather than a reliance on scriptures.
God is holy and immutable and the Pentateuch is actual inspired by God scriptures. I hang my eternity upon the finished work of Christ at the cross not TH-cam commenter supposition.
By the way I urge people to seek qualified counseling rather than listening to self appointed TH-cam commenter counselor's like yourself.
@@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.

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 TH-cam 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.

Brilliant and compassionate teaching David! Well done and thankyou for sharing this ✝️🙏
Glory to God. Thankyou Pastor this video. God bless you.
Are you saying God bless you because you want to get remarried? Just asking? If so work with what the Lord Jesus said in Mark 10:11, 12. God is the judge, not David Guzik.
My situation is quite different a little bit. My wife and I are both believers but she abandoned me, can i get a divorce in as much as she's a believer?
You would do well to pray that she would repent. Keep yourself pure, and do not be with another woman. Pray that she would surrender to the Lord and that God would restore the marriage.
Unless she divorces you, or abandons you after a long time, you would do well to stay married and pray for reconciliation. You would be wise to speak to your own pastor on this and receive counsel from him, and be accountable to him, and receive his prayers. May the Lord restore your marriage.
Thank you for stepping out there me posting your beliefs on this topic. I want more than anything for my ex husband to divorce the woman he left me for. He never slowed down when he reconnected with her and I feel like is waking up to the treacherous thing he did.
I didn’t hear anything here to address that… unless I missed it. Rejoice Marriage Ministries is encouraging me that is marriage is illegitimate.
Anyway… it you see this I would appreciate your prayers for God’s best for me.
LeighAnn - if he is your first, original Covenant husband then the advice you got from Rejoice Ministry is right. He is in an Adulterous AFFAIR not a remarriage. I'd suggest searching Pastors Joseph Webb, Steven Wilcox and Mike Gorrie here on TH-cam for CORRECT Bible teaching on this matter. God bless 🙏

Thank you for putting so clearly what I have been trying to explain to my father for years. I will send this onto him.
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.

AJ is a professional copy and paste artist. He makes these long winded responses in hopes someone will think he knows what he is talking about. When he could not answer if God is holy that told me everything I needed to know.
Only an atheist would be afraid to answer that question and it tells you where his doctrine comes from. I do believe he has issues with grandeur and needs treatment and not from TH-cam self appointed counselors like himself.

They get very upset when I ask them for their credentials, where their ministry is, and where people that take their advice can reach them. One of them even asked how dare I ask her those questions and, education is not needed to counsel people. So much for their credibility but unfortunately there are people that listen to these trolls.

I think I saw one of her videos and no one could convince her to give it more thought. Then all the trolls come out and tell her what a saint she is and she eats it right up. I feel sorry for her family. The trolls have her convinced she was never really married the second time and is still married to her first husband. So much for deuteronomy 24.
Thank you for this!!!
Best teaching about this topic that i have heard .
Today i learnt of a Lady, whose husband was domestically violent to her and her children for many years... it was only until he cheated on her that she divorced him. she waited til then because she knew that domestic violence would not be accepted by the people of her church. if she divorced him before he cheated, would she be in sin? Surely God would not look favorably on a man who beats his wife and children.
go figure....violence is not an exception, of this issue...separation, yes, divorce and remarriage....no...
A man leave his father and mother and cling to his wife and become one. With that being said ... domestic abuse is not clinging to wife in my opinion. Also, becoming one in a marriage is not two sided. Emotional abuse breaks a person down after a period of time. Will a Godly person treat another in an abusive way??? I simply could not take it anymore. I did not want my daughter to think marriage should be that way. He is married to his sixth wife. Yes, you read that correctly.... 6th wife. Someway, somehow, he found a way to Biblically justify each marriage in his mind. Evil spirited man had a smear campaign ready for anyone that would listen. Repeatedly told lies and turned family and friends against me.
Anyone care to respond to this post????

Pastor, are you divorced?
I studied the word on this subject, l am in the midst of a divorce for a second time, l had confirmation in my spirit l was on solid biblical grounds, but strong teachings from pastor Gino Jennings on this subject cast a doubt..as he teaches the opposite...l thank the Holy Spirit for guiding me to this teaching....peace confirms JESUS presence. Thank you
Thank you for this video..and i agree this teaching is very legalistic and so are some of the people . I'm a single women of GOD who was married and divorced before I was SAVED and he abused me physically and cheated on me several times. I have people tell me I NOW have to reconcile back with him ( who is still on drugs ) or stay single the rest of my life. We are living in the last days and this is a crazy doctrine, I pray people really FIND THE TRUTH ♡!♡!♡
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.
@@yhwhal WOW AMEN 🙏 spot on . This is religious people who cannot live what they preach. They act like there is no repenting from adultery . The murderer of Christians Paul repented and his sins were forgiven. The murderer is not still a murderer, same with the adulterer, he's no longer in adultery. What they don't say is UNREPENTANT ADULTERERS DONT MAKE IT TO THE KINDGOM. ALONG WITH ALL THE REST that reuse to repent and accept Jesus.. Jesus said MANY false teachers in last days
@@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. ☹️💛
You are given wrong advice, it is not scriptural. Romans chapter 7, death, Mathew chapter 19 spouse has sex outside the marriage, 1Corinrhians chapter 7, desertion.
VERY IMPORTANT and HELPFUL teaching!
Glad you think so! Blessings
I appreciate the teaching and all the time and effort you put into this. I have one concern, what if a believer abandons another believer? I can never find teaching on that.
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.
how many times is he os she allowed to divorce and repente under your view point
70 x 7
1st Corinthians 7:15 gives no allowance for a believing spouse to divorce a spouse who has abandoned the marriage. It only states that the believing spouse is no longer bound to maintain the marriage relationship. It calls the abandoned spouse to peace. In fact verse 16 goes onto state that the peaceful spouse may possibly win their spouse to the Lord. Paul later in that same chapter, said to remain as you are called.
Keep reading he also says art thou loosed from a wife seek not a wife ,but if thou marry thou has not sinned! And if s virgin marries she has not sinned!!! 1 cor 7:27-28
@@resistancelucayanmayolook at the context? Paul is speaking to widows and virgins.. The only way to be loosed from a spouse is by death! (Romans 7:2-3 & 1st Corinthians 7:39).
@@brianhemmert9394 you are not understanding at all. So let me guess is deut ch 24 was the spouse loosed from death also ? Also there are biblical grounds for divorce, adultery is very clear grounds
@@resistancelucayanmayo you are twisting scripture. If you read it it clearly says that if you are married do not seek to be loosed. It also clearly is saying that getting married is not wrong. If we apply this using the whole Bible we know that this can not be speaking to divorced people because in Matthew 5: 32 it clearly states to marry someone who has been divorced is committing adultery. So the only way the way you are saying would work is if you say Matthew is wrong. That would make the entire Bible untrustworthy. You can not just take one verse and run with it. You have to take the Bible as a whole
@@IronSharpensIron127 your ignorant there is no twisting scripture here so thats go to Deuteronomy ch 24 and that's see if what it says here shall we or let me guess are you one of those Christians that think the old testament been done away ?🤔
When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance
Let me guess am I twisting scripture again ?🤨
Thanks, David. I like your concession point explanation that recalling God's grace allows room for repentance and opportunities to live in peace with one another. Wonder if your narrative can reconcile with the book written by David Pawson as well as David Instone-Brewer on the same subject matter?
The CLEAREST teaching on the subject by far..!! Thanks Pastor David..!
You are very welcome, may God bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine upon you.

I understand the biblical reasons for divorce but where is written that you can remarry wether biblical reasons or not? Maybe I missed it but I have not found it in the bible. Are we just assuming one can remarry if biblical.
First Corintians 7 gives a list
@Douglas except for fornication, not adultery. It's simple...those who are not yet one-flesh in a covenant of marriage commit fornication, and those who are one-flesh commit adultery.
@Douglas why does Matthew use the words fornication, and adultery in Matthew 5:32, and Matthew 19:9? Why not use adultery, if it is in reference to sex outside of the marriage bed, after two become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage?
@Douglas you are not understanding the context of Matthew as the only gospel of the 4 written for the Jews who were following the law in Deuteronomy 22. Do you dispute that a betrothed (engaged) virgin was referred to as a wife during the betrothal period?
Sir
You have the right to marry regardless of a bible. A Lawful right, which is from the Lawgiver ...its a birthright.
Erasmus changed the original
Text on Matt 5:32 ‘Not even for’...there is NO exception clause. A careful study of original text is needed. Matt 19:18 deals with the hardness of heart (OT), we have been given a new heart in Christ. Deuteronomy 24 is mainly a judgment for the husband to not abuse the sending away of wife and therefore cannot take her back....we need to think through!
I have read Tyndale, Geneva, Coverdale and KJV 1611 and they all said fornication not sexual immorality. This very word is what's causing the problem. When people seek to modernize the holy scriptures, they do more harm than good.
@@sharmaineknowles4329 Yes that's correct. The Bishops Bible, Wycliffe Bible and original American Standard all also use the correct Word- FORNICATION. The Pastor in this video gives false allowances to people by appealing to their feelings and emotions. He will have an eternal price to pay lest he Repents. 🔥
The glass house of what I am hearing so far is easily shattered by one simple command that we are not to break apart what God has put together.
Hello pastor david, i have a question to you, backhome im married with my unbeliever husband and i was a new believer by heart that time, im a battered wife so i abandoned him since 2005 and now 2021 someone is want to marry me and he is a widow ( his wife died 2016) is God allow me to remarry? My husband has a girlfriend and he is saying to me he still love me and he wants me to comeback. What is God want me to do? I appreciate your advice thank you...
As I said in the video, every individual situation has its own complexities and characteristics, so I am hesitant to give “final” answers in a few words over a TH-cam comment. What is really best is to discuss this with a pastor or wise believer who really understands what the Bible says, the situation in your life, and who can ask the right questions. Having said that, in the way you describe the situation, it sounds to me that your husband has given grounds for divorce in that he, as an unbeliever, has abandoned both the marriage and you, his wife (according to 1 Corinthians 7). It may also be true that he has not remained faithful to his marriage vow since separating from you in 2005 - if so, that gives an “double” grounds for divorce. Again, from the way you state the situation I would say that you have Biblical grounds for divorce, and once that is granted you are free to marry in the Lord, as I said in the video.
@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord thank you pastor I understand what you say ito our situation i think that was he did he gave me way to do it. Thank you for giving me an inspiration to do the right thing. Bless you pastor David.
@@auntiefathica2437 Dear Sister, if you remarry while your covenant spouse is still alive you will be committing adultery (Mark 10:11-12; Luke 16:18; Roman's 7:2-3). You are to remain unmarried or to reconcile with your covenant husband (1 Corinthians 7:10-11). If you cannot reconcile with your covenant husband, then you are to remain unmarried. Adultery is a sin that will prevent you from inheriting the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 & Galatians 5:19-21). Please do not gamble with your soul by getting remarried to someone else while your covenant husband is still alive.

Bro. David, this is the best teaching I've ever heard in my life, on this subject. I'm 69 years old and about heard everything man has said about Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage. I have even seen Chuches split over it. You are speaking God's truth! May God continue to use you for His Glory, and Bless you!
By Gods Grace GODS WORD wonderfully explained 🙏🏻
Deuteronomy 24:1 Divorce was allowed during the betrothal period. If the betrothed spouse was found to have committed fornication. "Just as Joseph was going to put Mary away." However if the couple were in a legal binding consummated marriage, and adultery had taken place, Jewish law stated that it was a crime punishable by death.
Adultery was never an allowance for divorce. Allowing someone who was found guilty of fornication (before or during betrothal), or adultery (during the marriage), were not allowed to receive a certificate of divorce in order to be married to another. They were brought before the elders of the city and stoned to death.
@@ajlouviere202
Living with a woman was allowance for divorce wasn't it AJ?
Very sound, precise and good teaching. Thanks a lot.
Pastor, I would like to ask if I divorced my husband unbiblical and then he remarried with other woman, can I remarried or remain single
Pastor, I trust you know and love the Lord greatly. I am wondering why Jesus would say in Romans 7:2-3 that a woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives, and if during this time she is remarried to another man, she shall be called an adulteress? Is not this the Holy Spirit's instruction saying that even though remarried, she will still be called an adulteress? If so, is adultery an act or a state? And what about the contradicting verses in Matthew leaning towards everyone who remarries, even a divorcee, commits adultery? Nowhere in the Bible does it say something is a sin, and then that same behavior stops being a sin after a period of time, like lying etc. Thank you for your thoughts. This is a hard topic and it brings up many emotions on both sides of the issue.
In Romans 7, the Apostle Paul used the illustration of marriage as an example of a person who was trying to be right with God through obedience to the Law. If that person dies, they are no longer bound to the Law. Death breaks that obligation. If a man dies, his widow is free to remarry. Death has brought a breaking of the relationship.
If a person is married, and then goes to marry someone else, that is adultery.
Here's the commentary on Matthew 5:31..
I hope that this helps.
Causes her to commit adultery: An illegitimate divorce gives place to adultery because God doesn’t recognize the divorce, and sees a new relationship as bigamous. It is possible for a person to have a divorce that is recognized by the state, but not by God. If that person goes on to marry someone else, God considers that relationship adultery because He sees them as still married.
Thank you David, this has really helped a horrible, horrible issue thats been put on me which I've been wrestling with.

Thank you. My prayer is that i dont listen to your message and feel redeemed because of my choices but rather live right where i am. This has been a thorn in my side for years. My partner is divorced but i was never married. Ive always felt like i was sinning. Breaking up his relationship. I even encouraged him to go back. He said even if we were not together he would never go back. I have asked pastors to help out. They would not marry us because:
. Im not sure how to deal with your (our) situation.
. He must go back to his wife
. Its sin
. Refered to other institutions for guidance which i didnt belong to
. We dont interfere, its your choice.
I have also listened to other youtubes. I hope i am not accepting your message as a way to appease my ways.

@@vtoerien6724 amen
David if we repent of something and remain in it, it is not repentance. Mat 3:8 Produce fruit worthy of repentance. It is not just a confession of the mouth, but a turning away from the sin. My wife left me for another man in our church, slept with him, then married him, they told God they were sorry and promised never to do it again, and still reman married to this day. Are they forgiven or are they still living in adultery?
This pastor has it all wrong and unfortunately will be stumbling many.
I'm confused. So what must the man do biblically?
Mat 3:8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 2 Cor 7:10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but wordly sorrow brings death. /// Saying I"m sorry to God holds no weight. Christians living as the world using grace as a disguise to live as the world brings death. Grace reigns through righteousness, death reigns through sin. When we repent we come out of, not stay into. What is your dilemma?
MikeCly, I have the same situation. 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. 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.

*Supposed Perpetual adultery clause (Luke 16:18)(Matt. 5:31-32):
a. Herod Philip married Herodias. When Herod Antipas visited his brother, he wanted Herodias for a wife for himself. So Herod Antipas divorced his own wife, and married Herodias. She, of course, had to divorce Herod Philip first. The Jewish law does not permit such behavior (Lev. 18:16; 20:21). John the Baptist
continually said this was wrong. When he did this, he made Herodias very angry. So Herod Antipas ordered John's arrest & beheading. (Mark 6:14-28)(Matt. 14:1-11)
b. Therefore, the supposed perpetual adultery clause comes from a misunderstanding of Jesus’ words in Luke, who in protest of Herod Antipas, he condemned the relationship as adulterous which means that he rejected the legitimacy of the marriage because he stole his brother’s wife, which violates commandments 6,7, and 9.
c. Besides this shameful laxity, the Pharisees had never had the courage to denounce the adulterous marriage and disgraceful divorce of which Herod Antipas had been guilty.
Pastor D We do not live under Jewish Law, we live under the teachings of Christ!
“Comes from a misunderstanding”. Sounds like it comes from a right understanding. “He rejected the legitimacy of the marriage… which violates commandments 6, 7, and 8’. Exactly?
I appreciated your teaching. One question i would like to ask. 1 Cor.7:15 - speaks about an unbeliever abandoning a marriage. What if a believer walks away from a marriage and refuses to be reconciled to their mate- even if the mate repents . Scripturally is the "abandoned" mate under bondage?
If you are referring to a Christian mate that has been abandoned by a Christian spouse, then that abandoned Christian should not date or plan on re-marriage unless the spouse who left them divorces them and marries someone else.
We should do everything we can to allow God to bring reconciliation to the marriage. This would include remaining available for reconciliation. Being available for reconciliation would be difficult of the abandoned spouse was romantically involved with someone else. It would be impossible of the abandoned spouse was remarried.
God is always looking for us to reconcile whenever it is possible.
I hope that this helps.
Q: this question is double faceted (maybe more than double).
A woman desires to be a Pastor. She’s divorced and remarried. I believe from Scripture that she’s unqualified, on several levels, from leading a “church”. Why do you believe anybody would attend? Puzzled in Michigan.
repent means admit the sin, quit the sin....if you steal, and repent, do you keep what you stole....
If you kill someone and admit the sin. How can you quit it when you can’t take back what you have done?!?! Come on!!! This is terrible theology. Lol
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.
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 TH-cam 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.
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.

Please share the scripture where Jesus told those remarried to divorce to repent. I have not been able to find it and it would help a great deal if you can produce it. If divorce and remarriage is the same as any sin let's see. A murderer repents do they have to bring their victim back to life to be forgiven or can they repent and be forgiven. A person gets divorced and repents of their sin are they forgiven? Washed clean like the murderer? Neither one is washed clean? How far is east to the west ? Do the scriptures lie and we should listen to you? An unwed woman gets pregnant should she get a abortion to repent of her sin since she would not be forsaking her sin any other way? Is God holy and immutable? Where do you get Jesus changed the laws God gave Moses? Didn't Jesus exactly say he did not come to change the law? Didn't Jesus show the true morality of the law? I've got so many unanswered questions and not one of the divorce to repent people have been able to adequately answer them. Hopefully you will be different. Please share where your ministry is, when you got your degree in theology, where you can be reached for those that take your advice, where did you get your certification to counsel people? If you needed a heart transplant would you go to a qualified surgeon with facilities and read the bible or to someone with no qualifications that said they read the bible on TH-cam? These are important questions and since you are handing out advice don't you think people should know whom they are getting advice from?
@@timsadventures1954 Adultery is a sin, so everywhere in the Bible where it says to forsake sin, that includes adultery and adulterous marriages, too. Jesus told the woman caught in adultery to go and sin no more (John 8:11). nThat meant she had to forsake, quit, leave her sin of adultery. 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)." Here's a passage of scripture that says adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 9:9-10). Galatians 5:19-21 also say that adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God. I hope this helps.

You failed to share anything I asked for so for everyone's knowledge.
1. Nowhere in the bible does Jesus tell those remarried to divorce to repent. It is your supposition that requires this.
2. You didn't answer if God is holy and immutable. So you are either an atheist or it doesn't work with your doctrine. Either way that is on you.
3. Since you are counseling people you didn't include any of the pertinent information. Everyone should then realize you have no qualifications or formal training to counsel anyone.
4. You didn't explain how these who repent are not forgiven. Everyone needs to realize you have no scripture backing your claims only supposition.
5. Your example of the woman caught in adultery was it because she was married a second time? Was she single with a married man? Was she married with a single man? Let's investigate. Did the accuser's state you are in your second marriage and that's adultery? No they didn't only your supposition has that happening.
6. You didn't answer if one commits a sin they remain in after they repent? Does this mean the divorced person remains in their sin until reconciled? Does the murderer remain a murderer after they repent unless they bring their victim back to life? Go ahead feel free to counsel God on whom is forgiven.
7. Since you are so sure those remarried are adulterers continually why didn't Jesus state exactly this? This goes back to my first question that you avoided.
8. Is the pentateuch suspect and deuteronomy 24 is not God's word? God didn't ask for your permission before he made the laws?
Now instead of avoiding the questions and being deceptive answer them honestly.
I hope this helps you realize you were asked very direct questions that you failed to answer.
God has truly used you to bring clarity on this man of God
Thank you for this comment and for your support. God be with you.
Shalom. Thanks for the Biblical TEACHING CONCERN MARRIAGE.. KEEP ON. MALAYSIA.
how does one even use the term spouse....when the teaching, of Scripture, labels this relationship to be adultery....
Because they are workers of iniquity. No real love for Christ and his blood shed in this.
Because Jesus used the term "spouse." When He was talking with the woman at the well, He used the term "husband." Was He wrong?
porneia.....check how the definition had been changed, by Erasmus and promoted by Luther...
Follow what the bible says,if it is telling me that if i got divorced i can not get married again,i wont force that man to come back, I'll let him go and thank you for what this has taught me❤
Great message 💥👌
Very clear teaching according to scripture. Thank you
Clearly wrong that is.
According to scripture?
Not accurate teaching unfortunately
I agree with you.
The hardness of heart for not not forgiving is no forgiveness. You are so wrong. This is Jesus not David.
what is repentence.....or when does repentence change a sin, into a non sin....
Will you explain the gospel of Paul and what we are to do to recieve salvation through Christ?
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.
@@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.
@@mychannel-gp6nd
Thank you for your response.
I ask you to not assume what anyone's faith is or is not.
I do agree with much of what you have said however we have all had those that teach us throughout life.
To assume teachers are not needed is not an accurate statement. How did you get your basic learning tools such as reading, writing, and math?
Many have said the holy spirit has led them and many times it is just the opposite of another holy spirit led person. Do we no longer need to gather together to discern? So we do need teacher's and we need to gather to help us discern. Jim Jones who claimed God told him to go to Ghana led his followers to their demise.
Those that refuse to learn anything from those that know more have a problem with pride and should address this sin.
I do agree with much of what you said but TH-cam is full of those that claim to be led by the holy spirit. Those that are led by the holy spirit will show it through their actions and heart not by the internet or by saying so.
Blessings
I got married and few years later than I got divorce from my first husband but 9 years later I got married 2 and time in church so did thst marriage count
I got divorrc second and went back to my first husband
God bless you and your ministry, I have a simple question, can I remarry since my wife left and divorced me and now is living with children with another man. Can I remarry?
So sorry to hear about your circumstances.
May the Lord strengthen you as you go through this.
1 Corinthians 7:12-15 tells us this...
12 But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. 13 And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. 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.
Paul says that you are free to re-marry, but only to a Christian.
But, you are also free to wait to see if your wife will repent and come back to you.
Seek the Lord through prayer.
If she is not married to this other man, then she may come back to you.
But you are not bound to wait for her, unless you feel that God wants you to wait and to pray for reconciliation.
I hope that this helps.
This is a very caliente topic!
God intended marriage to be till death depart them away or separate and stay single. It is cleared!
See God’s example with His people, after Israel went astray, He separates from Israel but never divorced it. He never went to look for another nation to Call Himself Husband of that other nation . 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...
Metaphysical nonsense.
Amen
First, the marriage covenant is not unconditional, if it was there would be no need for vows. Marriage would be no matter what you have to put up with it. Jesus clarified this and straightened out the pharisees abuse of the laws God gave Moses.

Where is the scripture I have asked for repeatedly? Afraid to admit, or is your sinful arrogance in the way of the truth?
What bible are you reading? Marriage Is a covenant and can only be broken by death. You are teaching humanism from Erasmus and Luther.
I hope you are not a pastor because you are going to lead many a stray.
Lourens you are so right. It's completely sad that there are 4 ,COUNT THEM- 4 Places in scripture which descriptfully say remarriage after divorce while your Covenant spouse is still alive is ADULTERY! [Mark 10:9-12, Luke 16:18, Matthew 5:32, Romans 7:2-3] and yet "supposed" men of God completely ignore them and promote divorce and worse, remarriage after (to someone else)
People be warned : there are MANY famous preachers and evangelists teaching this. James 3:1 applies to them. There are also "supposed" Christian celebrities (even a former baseball star that's now writing books and has a so called "ministry" while on his 3rd wife) that are in DIRECT DEFIANCE of the Holy Word of God. Don't be fooled. These are Not Christ followers. Be like the Bereans and trust NO MAN but search the scriptures to see if each thing is true - Acts 17:10-11.

Jacob had two wives and fathered the 12 tribes of Israel through four different women. Abraham fathered Ishmael through Sarah's slave. David fathered Solomon through the rape of Bathsheeba.

So very clear. Great job.
I would encourage you to do your own homework.
There are very clear warnings in the Bible in trusting in man and not in Him.
Ok...answer this...does Jesus not say in Matthew 5:32 "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?" What is so difficult to understand about this scripture? The woman in this case is not guilty of fornication during Jewish betrothal which is the Mosaic Law that is clearly outlined in Deuteronomy 22:13-21. This man being a pastor should also know that Matthew was written to the Jews (Romans 1:16), and is the first of the synoptic gospels with over 20 specific characteristics that speak directly to a Jewish audience. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees that were preaching like the man in this video who believe that hardness of hearts that caused divorce and remarriage was ok. Jesus reaffirms the one-flesh covenant when he says to the Pharisees "Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 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? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 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" (Matthew 19:4-8). Also this man is in error by teaching from the Old Covenant Law regarding David when Jesus addresses the Pharisees in Luke 16 as seen here: "And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 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.
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery" (Luke 16:14-18). Jesus clearly is telling the Pharisees that the Law and the prophets were until John the Baptist began preaching the coming of the kingdom. Preaching on divorce and remarriage from the Old Covenant is serious error because it denies the authority of Christ. This man is mocking the scriptures and scoffing at those who are following the scriptures and not man's interpretation. To further prove this man is teaching falsely is the way he takes 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 out of context in an attempt to apply it to divorce and remarriage when the entire chapter of 2 Corinthians 6 is about ministry from beginning to end. What he is not telling you is that Paul already dealt with the topic of divorce and remarriage in his first letter to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 7. He is admitting that we need to divide the word and allow it to affirm other scriptures but either does not yet know that 2 Corinthians 6 is speaking specifically about ministry or deliberately ignores it in order to justify remarriage after a divorce. It should be simple but we have teachers like the man in this video sowing confusion and preaching to itchy ears. Another proof that he is teaching falsely is by telling you that 1 Corinthians 7:15 disolves a one-flesh covenant but is not telling you that Jesus is speaking through Paul by commanding a departing spouse to "remain unmarried or else be reconciled" just 4 scriptures above in 1 Corinthians 7:11. This man is literally teaching that Paul overruled Christ and says that the brother or sister is no longer "bound", but that is not what the actual scripture says. Here is the actual scripture, "But 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" (1 Corinthians 7:15). The phrase "not under bondage" means slavery to sin against God by force with an unbelieving spouse, not a release from the one-flesh covenant as this man is suggesting. The word bondage always refers to slavery not marriage. The Word is clear. Matthew is written to the Jews first and was speaking on betrothal found in Deuteronomy 22:13-21, but clearly proves Luke 16:16 true in John 8:11 by forgiving the adulteress. By telling her to sin no more he is telling her to repent and return to her covenant husband just as God commanded Hosea to take back Gomer. The matter of being equally yoked in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 is regarding ministry, not marriage. This is easily proven by 1 Corinthians 7:12-14 where the unbeliever accepts that the believing spouse has found faith but wishes to remain and not hinder their beliefs. Many also falsely use the woman at the well as an excuse to remarry but this is easily explained by Matthew 22:23-24, where Jesus is being told of a similar situation where a widow marries 7 brothers, each after the previous brother dies. This both legitimizes and reaffirms the one-flesh covenant as well as the nature of Jesus's acknowledgement of the 5 husbands of the Samaritan woman, as well as the illegitimacy of the 6th man. If the 5 husbands were not covenant husbands then Jesus would not have acknowledged that they were. Please do your own research and be like the Bereans when it comes to this important and critical topic and seek the real truth because I can testify that in doing so you will definitely find it. God bless.
Thank you
@Douglas "whosoever marries her that is divorced commits adultery" (Matthew 5:32).
@Douglas what I previously failed to do, and what you are failing to do, is to understand why Matthew 5:32 says that the now innocent wife, who has not been charged with fornication, is going through a divorce which caused her to commit adultery if she remarries, and why it says that whosoever marries her that is divorced commits adultery with her. When you consider that the teaching that Jesus did that day on the coast of Judea beyond the Jordan recorded in Matthew 19:1-12, is also recorded in Mark 10:1-12, and unlike Matthew's Gospel, Mark's Gospel does not include any cause of fornication or mention divorce, as seen in Deuteronomy 22, and Deuteronomy 24. This is evidence that Matthew was written specifically for the Jews as it continually makes references to the Law of Moses. People are beginning to understand that the cause of fornication, and subsequent divorce only seen in Matthew, is directly linked to the laws that governed Jewish betrothal (engagement) and marriage in Deuteronomy 22:13-21, and Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage) respectively.
When you are able to see clearly that the only time adultery is mentioned in these verses is after divorce is mentioned, and those who have made it through consummation into a one-flesh covenant of marriage are not able to divorce and remarry, unlike those who were following Deuteronomy 22:13-21, as Joseph was purposing to put Mary away, during the time of betrothal. The scriptures in Matthew 1:18-25, and Luke 2:5-7 prove that the cause of fornication was not after two consummate into one-flesh but the betrothal period prior to the wedding night where the betrothed were to consummate their pledge into a one-flesh covenant of marriage.
This man in this video, David Guzik, knows that the entire doctrine of remarriage after a divorce is based on the supposed guilt of the wife in Matthew 5:31-32, and Matthew 19:9. He knows that she is not being charged, or found guilty of fornication in these verses. He also knows that she is not caused to commit adultery because she was previously found guilty of fornication, and that was because the penalty for fornication, prior to becoming one-flesh in a covenant of marriage on the wedding night, was stoning to death according to Deuteronomy 22:13-24. He knows that any wife being charged, and found guilty of fornication, would not be given a writing of divorcement in order to become another man's wife in accordance to Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage), but would be taken before the elders of the city, and if she could not produce the tokens of her virginity, she would be stoned to death outside of her father's house. How can an espoused wife, who is guilty of fornication, be given a writing of divorcement and set free to remarry? That would have been a total violation of the law in Deuteronomy 22:13-24. Now that it is obvious that the wife in Matthew 5:31-32 is proven not to be charged, or found guilty of fornication in these verses, she is being caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her as a divorced woman who was innocent of any previous marital violations. Do not listen to this man, or any other that so blatantly twists the scriptures. Remarriage after a divorce is a false doctrine that puts many souls in jeopardy.
To AJ you cite the sermon on the mount as defining divorce and remarriage in its entirety. Let's now go to the previous verses and make them define how to handle sin . So AJ do you have all of your body parts? We know the answer don't we AJ. Your ignorance of scripture and context is apparent and it is my prayer no one listened to your unjustified nonsense. When the testaments are taken out of harmony you end up with man made remedies. In the world of AJ the new testament was written before Jesus came. Then in his world the disciples made up their own law's and they never heard of Moses. Do not take advice from self appointed TH-cam counselors seek qualified counseling before making life changing decisions.
Romans 7:1-6
How do you interpret Romans 7:2?
Paul was using the illustration of marriage as an example of a person before and after being a Christian. A woman is under the authority of her husband as klong as he is alive, but death ends that arrangement. That is an illustration of the unsaved person being under the authority and expectations of the laws of God, which we can never keep. The fact that we fail to obey God's laws leaves us in the condition of being guilty before God.
But if we "die" to the law, and become "born again" by God's Spirit, we are no longer under the obligation and demands of God's Laws. Being born again doesn't mean that we don't want to obey God's laws, but it does mean that we are not accepted by God only if/when we obey God's laws perfectly.
So we "die" to one system of trying to approach God and are born into another system whereby God makes us righteous by faith through faith in Jesus Christ. Hope this helps! Blessings!
Just as Christs atonement (death burial and resurrection) set us free from the penalty of sin (law) one is unbound or set from from a covenant spouse upon death. This is a perfect analogy!
Dear Mr. Guzik, answer me one question sir. Why did John the Baptist lose his head?
@Last Minute Prayer, yes and according to Mr. Guzik all Herod had to do is repent and ask God to forgive and Herod could continue on in his adulterous marriage? My understanding of repentance, we must discontinue our sinful behavior and turn back to God, such as the prodigal son.
@Last Minute Prayer where in scripture do we see Gods approval of remarriage after divorce?
John the Baptist was against it because it was considered incest. Had it just been for remarriage there were many more cases he could have protested.
@@timsadventures1954 the law stated that if a man dies, his brother would take his widow as wife and raise up his name through having children. This is not the same as incest because the brother is dead.
