“When is divorce permissible?” www.equip.org/audio/when-is-divorce-permissible/

The other video is a different situation then what we spoke of here but you were severely lacking in understanding there as well, a terrible showing to be sure and I'm sure you'll see my comment there as well. These vids I've seen so far are misleading and not biblically accurate, something you will be judged for harshly especially since you consider yourself a teacher of sorts.
I have university credits for theology and the Bible and I am far more careful with what I say as I will face greater consequences since I am a teacher as well. I would seriously reconsider what you're doing and take down the vids that are speculation on your part cause God forbid you influence anyone the wrong way. They will receive a false peace but it will lead to judgement for you as well as who you're counseling.
This is incorrect. The one and only way that someone can remarry after divorce is if widowed. Romans 7, Luke 16:18 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 make this clear. Anyone who is divorced with a living covenant spouse is not able to date someone new or marry again until they pass away. God told me to leave my 9 yr relationship when I prayed to Him about it after being reborn. The "exception" is twisted today. Matthew 19 is Jesus clarifying and magnifying the law. He was asked if DIVORCE was allowed for any reason. His answer was no. Remarriage wasnt even brought up. He gave one reason for divorce and that was the word for single sexual immorality ! He didn't use the term for married people cheating on each other, adultery. He was refwreing to like Mary and Jospeh who were betrothed before their more complex marriage ceremonies were fulfilled. Since she was pregnant before they were together, Jospeh considered putting her away. THIS is what it's referring to? How do I know? See Matthew 5 and dig into the original translation where it mentions a "word of" fornication...they weren't seen as pure before the marriage was finished. Research ancient Jewish weddings which have two parts with a gap between.

First, God would Never put it on your heart to leave your lady after 9 years even if she was a worldly woman, I'm sure if your honest, you even know the scripture pertaining to this.
Remarriage is not possible only for widows? Not shocking at this point but very incorrect.
Matthew 5 31:32
31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
@@someoneofgods2620
Matthew 19 9
9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
@@someoneofgods2620 You are wrong. You are speaking of what’s called “The Betrothal View,” which correctly understands the exception in Matthew 5:32 as a “set aside.” However, thats because different words, parektos logou porniea, are used for the exception than those used in Matthew 19:9, which uses me epi porneia, for the exception - which is an actual EXCEPTION.
Furthermore, when the Apostle Paul says that if the unbeliever leaves, the newborn Christian is to let them leave and that they are “no longer under bondage,” he means it:
“But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through [h]her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 15 Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace.
I Corinthians 7.
Why is he able to say that? Because the new believer is, in fact, “a new creation.” In other words, what you were previously bound by no longer applies. Why? Because you’re a new creation.
Therefore, if the Lord truly instructed you to leave your unbelieving husband- and I assume it was for good reason- you are, in fact, free to date or even remarry, “only in the Lord.” Why? Because you’re a new creation. Old things have passed away, and that includes the marriage you contracted as an unbeliever. In other words, you are, in fact, a new creation. Otherwise, Paul wouldn’t have said that if the unbeliever leaves, let them leave. You are not under bondage in such a situation.
I hope this is helpful✨
I'm never getting into a relationship again and getting married because Christians can't answer a simple question 🙄. So it's better I just remain single, with a broken heart, God is closer to the broken hearted 💔
I understand believe me...
@@kateleurs5012 That's why it's important a woman even if married, has her own. IMO. If not a career, atleast a decent job. Don't be too over reliant on a man. There needs to be scenarios/plans that you can support yourself and/or children incase you know, life happens. Including a death.This isn't 70+ years ago where women needed to be marry or she would be in trouble. Not trying to be mean not show compassion, just think better decision making can go a long way. Sometimes it's not wise to have children either. But people who can barely afford them, keep having them.
@@kateleurs5012 There's no different arguments when it comes to the word of God. Seems like some on these channels are confused cause of people opinions. As believers, we don't follow opinions of man. God's word is rather clear on this subject. The problem is humans get into their emotions/flesh.
@leighholding1397 I feel the exact same way in the middle of separating and divorcing the divorced man I married…. I was deceived…. I am torn apart and have not eaten for a week I only cry…. As I am looking for an apartment so I can move out… even thoughts of self harm keep arising…. Since God wants me all to himself I hope he’s ready for the weeping and wailing for the next few years at least because he’s demanding that I leave so I know I must do it….. but my heart isn’t even broken it’s deeper than that I am in a very dark place please pray for me
@@tyrianadomasin3594 wow..I understand, they say it's like the death of a loved one divorce can be.... yes... cry it all out, take one day at a time. Don't rush the process... you will get some job's friends with their own life support but hang in there.... one day you'll be able to look back and laugh at the whole thing.
Godly repentance is not to just feel sorry, but to forsake and turn away from that sin and not to continue or stay in it.
exactly. So many people miss that point.
That's exactly how I see it! If one continues to live knowingly in that same sin, staying married, then it doesn't get washed clean. You can divorce the second and life alone for Christ, then that is repentance and turning from sin!
Precisely!
Did God forgive David? And did not he stay with Bethsheba?
@@andreamichelle1 In that time, multiple wives were allowed.
This the worst teaching on marriage, divorce and remarriage I've ever heard. You should not be teaching on this topic at all. Why on earth can you not undo your adulterous remarriage, but you could undo your covenant marriage? When you repent of our sin you should also turn your back on that sin, not try to make the best of it. How about the homosexual who becomes a born again Christian, can such a person repent but continue to live in a homosexual relationship?
Anyone who marries someone else while their covenant spouse is still alive is an adulterer and will not make it into the kingdom of Yahweh.
AMEN!!!! You are in point! This man should not be teacher. He will be accountable for the words he has spoken and leading people into committing adultery
Thank you sister in Christ. If you follow Jesus you will work in the spirit of truth
What if that person now has multiple children with them now?
@@Redeemedentertainment The children born out of an adulterous marriage, are non covenant children and are a testimony of your sin. It says in God's word that children are a blessing from the Lord, but only if they are born to a covenant husband and wife, not children out of wedlock. You are commanded to turn away from your sin, meaning you have to leave that marriage and so called family and either be united to your covenant spouse or live by yourself, those are the options. You need to look after and support your covenant children, not those you had with your adulterous husband/wife. God is a good God and he will take care of the non covenant children. Please read Genesis :21:10. It may be hard to do, but it's the right thing to so. So if you truly want to follow God, you will do according to His commandments and you will be blessed. Hope this answers your question. Be blessed.
For me, I am remarried to a wife that is remarried, and I guess by your estimation, I am going to hell, but when I die, Christ is going to say, he is mine and I will have no condemnation because there is, therefore, no condemnation in Christ Jesus. Just so you know, no one is righteous and we are all depraved and morally corrupt because of our sinful nature.
Remember when the devil tempted Jesus, he said if you are the son of God, turn these stones into bread. Well, yes he could. He could have made that desert into a donut shop, but it was not God's will for him to do so. Satan does the same thing now and says, you are not good enough, you need to prove your righteousness when that isn't so. Instead, we need to trust in Jesus and look to him alone for our salvation since we are justified by faith alone by the blood atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. That is it and nothing more. Anything added to faith is works, and that is the gateway to the eternal flame. I will pray for you, that you turn from your prideful heart and your devilish teachings and that you find love for others and share with them the real gospel of Christ, which is the following:
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:16-18
And I thank my LORD Jesus Christ for humbling himself and living a sinless life and shedding his blood and dying on the cross for me and saving me although I am a depraved sinful person. Here is another little parable that you should remember when you get on your high horse and start exalting yourself as you are now.
Luke Chapter 18:9-14
9And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Go and sin no more... What Hank thinks that means is confess your sin once, then keep doing that sin faithfully?
Right! You have to divorce the second marital spouse (or third or fourth etc )and turn from your inequity.
All the marriage passages are gender specific
So if you are looking for harsh rules, start there
There is no verse saying that it is sin to marry a divorced man
absolutely error being taught here. John the Baptist lost his head for the adulterous marriage of Phillips wife. The Bible even calls her Phillips wife despite the divorce
Incorrect. John said Herod was not to have his brothers wife. That is straight from the mosaic law. Read Leviticus 18 and 20. It was unclean to have your living brothers wife. Not one word was said to Herod about divorce.
@@seiliwennam as long as that divorced mans wife has died that’s ok. If she’s still living then it’s perpetual adultery. Also, if the mans committing adultery then so is the woman. Mark 10:9-12 addresses both men and women 😏
this doesn't make sense... if remarriage is a sin, and you can keep the marriage "as long as you repent" is akin to:
I robbed the bank, but I'm really sorry about that, but I'm keeping the money and having a redemption party at my new mansion and I can now afford 2 fitted calves!
Exactly....
He's a wicked man. Sending people to hell with his false doctrine. You are right we must confess and forsake our sin
I do not deny God's love and mercy. Please read Deuteronomy 24. It does not classify a woman's 2nd marriage as adultery. It just says she cannot go back to her 1st husband.
edit: Yes, this is Old Testament. Yeshua even magnified the Law and ushered in the New, Spiritual Covenant. Even if we are lustful in our hearts and minds it is adultery.
We ALL fall short. Only God saves. My rest and trust is in God. Not in myself. I am staying in my marriage, and I'm fine with God's jurisdiction and sovereignty. God knows me through and through in the context of my life and choices. I'm not hiding from God.
@@KristiMusicVideos that's old testament. We are a new testament church. Just like in the old testament people were stoned. New testament does not allow that to happen now. So you must go by new testament. It says very clearly and plainly remarriage is adultery under any circumstances if the first living spouse us alive.
@@KristiMusicVideos you may not have picked up on my satirical response...
the teaching here is... YOU CANNOT REMARRY.
but if you did, you can simply "repent" and remain in your marriage.
which is NOT what repentance looks like.
The answer given leaves out the entire concept and required act of repentance. It basically makes the whole answer moot.
NO, you don't move forward in the sin as described here as that is not a Godly example of marriage, but a continued act of adultery. This is all in scripture however this man doesn't cite any scripture related to the issue. Run fast and run far from this man. Romans 7:2-3, 1 Cor. 7:39, Luke 16:18, Mark 10:11-12.
You are right on. This man isn't even reading the comments and concerned with being a false teacher. Jude 1:4 says he is denying the Master and Lord Jesus Christ! I have a playlist with over 120 videos with correct teaching and testimonies of people who repented and removed themselves from adulterous remarriages. I was looking for more to add, but like this one, there are a lot of false teachers. If you have some time to check out my playlist, I would appreciate any others that you know of to add. God bless you.
You need to repent..but leave the marriage...because it is adultery........repent and leave second marriage..if you dont leave...you are living in adultery and you can go to hell.
Marshall you are right! This is plain false teaching. There is no true repentance- no change of mind and no change of direction. So I guess this answer requires God to change His mind and His standard to accommodate the sin. ( according to this mans hogwash) This guy isn’t rightly dividing the Word of God.
@@Declaringthendfromthebeginning Show me where the Bible calls a marriage to another while one's spouse is still living permissible. You won't have to have someone give an answer to your question because you will have found the answer yourself.
@@Declaringthendfromthebeginning can a thief continue to steal and not sin?, Can a liar continually lie and not sin? Can someone who commits adultery, then repent only to keep on living with and sleeping with the other adulterer? It's not a tough concept... Repentance is not saying "sorry" or feeling bad about something. It's a change of heart, mind and direction away from sin. Sin doesn not stop being sin because one repents, and it doesn't cease to be sin after any amount of time.
Pray for those in second marriages. That the blind would see..
All divorce and remarriage is not sin just like all killing is not murder
@@seiliwennam Wrong- Jesus said, "Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery adultery," Luke 16:18.
That declaration is unconditional
@@michaelmakinney20 the wording is put away, meaning to separate. The act of adultery in this scenario is the husband defrauding his wife by putting her away in order to take another wife. Exodus 21:10-11 is the applicable reference within the Law for this. As for divorcing a wife because she was caught in adultery, Deuteronomy 24:1-4 is the applicable reference within the Law for this. A man's only lawful cause for divorcing his wife is if she commits adultery. However, disrespect by a wife against her husband is a failure on the wife's part to be her husband's helpmeet. Any female that disrespects her husband does not deserve the status or identity of a wife for the remainder of her life.
Oh does “everyone “ (with the pronouns this is”he”) divorcing their wife or are some being divorced BY their wife? It do you consider all divorced people guilty of divorce?!
@@davidgooley8940 You are simply wrong but too wrong for me to carefully cut through all your weeds of misunderstanding. A man and woman become husband and wife as one flesh in God's sight, because of something, a covenant, God does for them as their Father in heaven, not because of anything they, themselves, do or don't do. That Fact is what makes Christ's straightforward declaration that "Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery," Luke 16:18, so telling, which, as stated, is either true or false, since it comes to with no qualifications.
Especially repugnant in that light is the perverse notion that if a woman doesn't provide her husband w a sufficient amount of respect, she isn't, somehow, his wife.
Check yourself, before you wreck yourself, Mr. Gooley.
Scripture clearly teaches anyone who divorces and remarries while their covenant spouse is still living (with the exception of fornication) is an adulterer or adulteress (Matthew 5:31-32; Matthew 19:3-9; Mark 10:2-12; Luke 16:18; Romans 7:2-3; 1 Corinthians 7:10-15; 1 Corinthians 7:39).
Additionally, scripture clearly teaches in order to receive God's mercy one must repent or they won't inherit the kingdom of Heaven (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Luke 13:3).
God saves anyone who genuinely repents. Repentance has two elements: Confessing AND forsaking our sins.
Proverbs 28:13, says: "He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses AND forsakes them will have mercy."
Remaining in an adulterous remarriage is not repentance.
The liar has to repent and stop lying; the thief has to repent and stop stealing; the homosexuals have to repent and stop committing homosexual acts; and the adulterers and adulteresses (including those in adulterous remarriages) must repent and stop committing adultery.
Sharing the scriptural truth about divorce and remarriage infuriates people who are supposed to be followers of Christ. Jesus's words regarding this issue anger his alleged followers like no other topic. Perhaps, it's time to obey Jesus Christ, and to begin believing He means what He says.
Most importantly, ALL sins are unforgivable without repentance...including remaining in adulterous remarriages. According to the clear, easy to understand words of scripture: Jesus most definitely sends unrepentant adulterers and adulteresses to the lake of fire.
Randy Nethery the exception was if she was stoned to death, Deut. 22 if he couldn't prove it, then he had to remain married.. this is why the precept was written.. to show both, if either remarried.. they would be adulterer.. Like 16:17@18..Mark 10:3-12..Rom 7:1-5..The one flesh law wasn't done away with.. 1Corin.7:39..1Corin.6...Ephes 5:31..1Corin.7:10@11..Hebrew 9:10 only carnal parts of the mosaic law was done away... moral and civil was established Rom. 3:31...1Tim.1:8-10..James 1:25..James 2..rom. 8..1John 3:3-12...going forward into a second marriage if the first is yet alive... is practising adultery.. James 4:4@5....
@@darlenegarza2235
I wholeheartedly agreed with you.
Randy, that is very well said! I talk about this subject in so many of my videos, and you hit the bullseye. The church is lying to people.
Your sins are forgiven, now go and sin no more. It's clear to me that you are NOT to continue in a second marriage if the first spouse is still alive. I completely disagree with this video. It would be considered adultery, thus .. sinning. My brother and I have argued this one a bit. He's remarried and was granted a "clear conscience" by the pastors at his church since he and his new wife became Christians AFTER they both had divorced their first spouses. I have been married and divorced twice (once to a pedophile and philanderer, the second to a man who couldn't leave his mommy to cleave unto his wife ... I'd have never married either had I known ... even dating 3 years can't tell you everything about someone). How I'd love to find that "right" spouse ... someone to do daily Bible studies with ... but I understand that unless my exes die (not likely) that I'm to remain single. My brother and I profoundly disagree on this point ... but we also profoundly disagree on the Sabbath. I want to honor my Lord and Creator. Staying single and worshiping on the Sabbath are instrumental in doing so.
But you’re married. So if you divorce the person you are in the adulterous marriage with isn’t that also a sin?
If God forgives then we are washed clean. When we are born again we are new creatures. Jesus specifically points out sin that cannot be forgiven.
By the perpetual adultery after forgiveness doctrine, you believe God will forgive you if murder your spouse but if you divorce and remarry then you have to practice perpetual atonement. The Blood is greater than any sin. Even a unrighteous divorce.
Amen!!!
I wonder why we ask questions that GOD already gave us answers to? Marital vows: Til death do you part, we turn around and ask: Can I get a divorce? Lol!
@@creativechristiancontent
So I guess you should be wise and truly get to know who you'll marry cause it's the second most important covenant in the Bible. You could divorce if you wish it but you cannot remarry into a lifestyle that causes you to sin for as long as you're with your spouse.
Also, if he hits you you are to tell your elders at the church and they will intervene and if that doesn't work, you can biblically call the cops. Don't act as if someone is saying you have to stay there and take it till you die. Lol
If you were a Christian and married a nonbeliever and he hits you well then you made a good up. Take responsibility for your life and live according to the word.
@@creativechristiancontent she's ignorant and her idea is myopic. People like her are the ones that tell domestic violence victim to stay married till they get killed. This kind of people will cover up for their husband if they sleep with a minor or their children just to stay married. Since remarrying takes you straight to hell like some comments I read here, what about cheating spouse that are still married but committing adultery.
@@belive6707 Would you forgive a man that sleeps with your daughters and niece. Would you forgive a paedophile, really! Would you advice your daughter to go back to a man that beats her all the time and even knock out a pregnancy that almost took her life. Would you wait 10yrs for a man that deserted his family and moved to another country to start a new family. If you advise that a cheating pastor's wife forgives her husband, why can't people under these circumstances I have listed move on with their lives too. If God can forgive a cheating spouse, why is a divorced woman a bigger sinner.
@@viov1975 I bet you haven't seen pastors that hit their wives. The domestic violence in church is swept under the carpet. The emotional abuse some of these church folks go through is alarming. Don't be deceived that believers don't hit women.
@@FERESE
No one said they don't get physical, but the law helps anyone in that situation, God doesn't force anyone to stay and take the abuse.
Also, a number that's vastly understated in abusive relationships is where the man gets the beating but won't report it because the system is geared for the woman.
Some thoughts: Does sin occur once? Is there some sin which is continual? Not talking about committing daily sin over and over such as taking drugs, getting drunk, viewing pornography, etc. Can you undo sin you have committed? Is there any sin you can't repent from? The question is, if you have been married, get divorced and remarry; is that a one-time sin or is that a continual sin? Is there such a thing as continual sin? May you be forgiven of that sin? Is that a special sin that can’t be forgiven? Should you divorce a second time? If you do is that a sin also? I ask you, does God pick and choose what sins He forgives? Or does God forgive all sin if true repentance has taken place? What does scripture say? I implore some of you to remove the plank from your own eye before removing the speck from your brother’s eye. You be the judge.
Getting "divorced" from the Adultery partner isn't a Sin because, if you abandoned a Spouse to "wed" someone else, that other person isn't really your spouse. God Doesn't Honor Explicit, Definitive Sin. He Wouldn't Have Said It's Adultery if it was negotiable. It doesn't magically cease being Adultery after demonic vows are spoken, no more than it would cease to be Adultery if done in secret, with no vows, behind the back of a Spouse one was still living with. To say otherwise is like saying theft ceases to be theft if you can manage to get your neighbour's property out of his house and into your own. Yahweh El Elyon Presented The Example Via Hosea & Gomer, And Yeshua Jesus The Christ Mightily Reaffirmed This. Herodias was an Adulteress, even if her original husband was disreputable. If a "divorce" isn't Scriptural, it isn't recognized by God. These debates have happened since before St. Augustine's time, and his view on it was categorical, as was that of our Lord Yeshua Jesus Christ. A troubled relationship can be a valid reason for a spouse distancing, even distancing via moving out, from the other spouse, but always with the Prayer for and spirit for Reconciliation. If the spouse goes from distancing for whatever form of rehabilitation, and goes from creating space to forming new relationships with other people, that is Adultery: it doesn't matter whether they call themselves "divorced" or anything of the sort, it and any subsequent relationships are Adulteries. Consider John The Baptist and the wicked Herodias. At no point does the Bible suggest that her 1st and true Husband was a good person: indeed, all we know about that family suggests he was certainly wicked, NEVERTHELESS, her "remarriage" to his brother was Adultery, and John rightly Rebuked it... her response to that Rebuke tells us all we need to know about the truly evil and unrepentant state of her heart.
No gods word is judge.
His word is clear.
The Lord has sent new spouses into the lives of many divorced christians. The remarried couple confess the sin and God FORGIVES❤- they do NOT live in perpetual adultery. There are well known teachers/evangelists (men and women) who have been happily remarried for decades, and God has blessed their lives and their ministries. If they were living in perpetual adultery, I don't see how they could have been blessed by God, He would have judged them.
The Lord sent new spouses into the lives of many divorced Christians?? Where in the Bible does it say that?? Give me scripture and verse or else take that LIE straight back to whatever pit in Hell you found it.@@pegc9889
In the Greek it is a single sin and not for sex but for the marriage
I think he missed the question.
He's responding to the question as if the question was: "can the sin that is committed when a person first gets remarried be forgiven?" But that wasn't the question. The question was, "the sin of adultery that's committed when a person first gets remarried, is the sin just initially? or is it a continued state of adultery?"
Jesus said "commits", and the Apostle Paul said "she shall be called an adulteress, but if her husband be dead she is no adulteress though she be married to another man". This very clearly shows that marriage after divorce is a state of adultery, unless the previous covenant of marriage (one-flesh) has ended in death.

Repentance means that you forsake your sin
Everyone knows that. But that's not the issue. The issue is, is a remarriage relationship a continual state of adultery? or is it just initially sin when you enter remarriage but now being married, is it no longer sin?
@@kpballa1009 yes according to the Bible remariage is a continual state of sin in the case that in your first marriage your ex was your first husband/wife and you were his or her first wife/husband read Roman 7 : 1 to 4 Mark and Luke read what Jesus said about that I will not tell you to read Mathew because the exception in Mathew doesn't concern you has nothing to do with your case unless the Holy Spirit gives you tge understanding of the exception in Mathew you'll be confused that is why there is confusion in the church, God bless you as you are reading
God's grace and mercy sustains us all. There's no one that is completely sinless. I've seen several remarried couples living God blessed lives. My flesh would love to condemn my ex wife. However, my spirit wants her forgiven and blessed. I must let her off the hook. God lets each one of us off the hook, too. He's forgiven me. I'm far from living a perfect life. Let it go.
@@leonseva4980 you can apeace your conscience with that but the truth remains the same, those who are in Christ Jesus are already perfected in Christ we have the identity of Christ, and grace doesn’t covers our sins the grace of God teaches us to deny ungodliness it teaches to live righteously not to continue in sin, read your bible cery well but don't read it upside down read it with the understanding
@@biblicaltruth4595 too much Truth for you?
I do not agree with this video! If you sin, you should repent of your sins and not continue with your sins! Married after divorce (especially if you divorce for the wrong reasons!) Is adultery and no adulterer will inherit the kingdom of God!
No sinner will inherit the Kingdom of God. That includes you.
Unless you're Jesus.
Preach!!! God Doesn't Honor Explicit, Definitive Sin. He Wouldn't Have Said It's Adultery if it was negotiable. It doesn't magically cease being Adultery after demonic vows are spoken, no more than it would cease to be Adultery if done in secret, with no vows, behind the back of a Spouse one was still living with. To say otherwise is like saying theft ceases to be theft if you can manage to get your neighbour's property out of his house and into your own. Yahweh El Elyon Presented The Example Via Hosea & Gomer, And Yeshua Jesus The Christ Mightily Reaffirmed This. Herodias was an Adulteress, even if her original husband was disreputable. If a "divorce" isn't Scriptural, it isn't recognized by God. These debates have happened since before St. Augustine's time, and his view on it was categorical, as was that of our Lord Yeshua Jesus Christ. A troubled relationship can be a valid reason for a spouse distancing, even distancing via moving out, from the other spouse, but always with the Prayer for and spirit for Reconciliation. If the spouse goes from distancing for whatever form of rehabilitation, and goes from creating space to forming new relationships with other people, that is Adultery: it doesn't matter whether they call themselves "divorced" or anything of the sort, it and any subsequent relationships are Adulteries. Consider John The Baptist and the wicked Herodias. At no point does the Bible suggest that her 1st and true Husband was a good person: indeed, all we know about that family suggests he was certainly wicked, NEVERTHELESS, her "remarriage" to his brother was Adultery, and John rightly Rebuked it... her response to that Rebuke tells us all we need to know about the truly evil and unrepentant state of her heart.

I have never been married before but the person I am interested in has been married before. His ex wife divorced him. That ex wife was previously married before him as well. Am I allowed to marry him now bc his initial marriage was not a covenant marriage due to it being adultery bc the wife was still married to her original husband in Gods eyes? Please help
We confess and forsake our sins. If your still having sex with the second wife while your first spouse is alive its adulterous regardless of what this mere man says. Turn to the bible.
Scripture says if you divorce you should reconcile to your wife or remain single.
End of debate
yes amen...
Agree 💯.% with you.This guy does not know what he is talking about
@@grant2149 I uploaded a video on this subject a few days ago. It was really on my heart.
@@letstalkbiblewithshun.s 👍 new sub
@@grant2149 thanks
First I have studied this subject out with much prayer.
Second,
The Scripture teaches that one can separate.
This is know as the law of separation found in:
1 Corinthians 7:15 KJV
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.
Here is where most get the idea that they are free to remarry but all it says is >[IF]< they leave let them because God doesn't want you arguing or fighting.
Third,
If you do get a divorce you are to remain unmarried or be reconciled to your spouse because only death breaks the covenant of marriage. This is evident because an adulterer would have been stoned to death if found out.
1 Corinthians 7:10-11 KJV
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 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
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.
Romans 7:2-3 KJV
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. 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.
Fourth,
Jesus said
Mark 10:11-12 KJV
And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Luke 16:18 KJV
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Fifth,
When Paul says
1 Corinthians 7:8-9 KJV
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
The unmarried are not the divorced. They are people who have never had a spouse or ones that no longer have a living spouse because only death breaks the covenant. This is the reason widows are also spoken of.
Sixth,
The Apostles had trouble with this doctrine and after Jesus told the Pharisees what God's original purpose was, they asked him in private.
Read Mark 10:10-12 after Mark 10:2-9
Mark 10:2-9 KJV
And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Mark 10:10-12 KJV
And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
As you can plainly see, Jesus clarified God's standard of marriage.
We do well to remember that God created marriage in the Garden of Eden and at that time man did not die. Meaning that marriage was lifelong/forever.
And yes in
Matthew 5:32 and 19:9 it states the "Fornication clause", but this was referring to the Jewish custom of the 1 year betrothal period.
Jewish tradition treated that time as a contracted marriage, and you would have to get a bill of divorce if you found your spouse to of had sex before marriage see .
Deuteronomy 22:13-21
I.e.
Your fiancee cheats on you before the "I do" and you find out you can call off the wedding/marriage.
Joseph, Mary's fiancee was going to do this until God stopped him.
Matthew 1:18-20 KJV
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was >>>[espoused]>[before they came together][husband][put her away privily]
Amen. This is exactly what the Bible says and is exactly what God means. God will not excuse anyone for committing adultery. If you are divorced and in a remarriage and your covenant spouse is still alive, you are committing adultery. There is only one way to quit adultery and that is to stop committing adultery.
John Ruiz yup the famous let them go a bro or sister in no longer under bondage they think it’s permission to remarry nope god has callled us to peace means that you are no longer under the hinderances of the unbeliever nagging u bout not wanting to go to church etc that you let that person go but u still aren’t free to marry aslong as the unbeliever or believe lives this applies to all humanity even if one gets married in a budest temple it’s for life marriage is a Covenant for all humans
@@godgavemeeyestosee what about Acts 10:43? Are we to ignore, diminish, or not recognize this part of scripture??
@@philarevolutionarywarriorp8295 As Christians we do not ignore scripture. When we truly believe in Christ for the remission of our sins, we will also obey Him. In John 14:15, Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments." If we are His, we must obey Him (1 John 2:1-6).
Amen! This is 100% accurate. I am a living testimony. I divorced my husband in 2003 and have remained on my own and brought up my son all by the grace of God. As for my husband he is now battling mental health issues.
So I have a friend (believer) who was emotionally neglected/physically neglected (no sex)/often treated badly by the husband for his gain. She filed for divorce after many years of attempted reconciliation. She was not Christian when they first got married. Is this woman not allowed to remarry now even though she was essentially trapped in this bad marriage for so long?
General principles applicable to your question are outlined in this article… www.equip.org/articles/biblical-grounds-for-divorce-and-remarriage/
Your friends particular circumstance is best dealt with in the context of a healthy well-balanced church. A caring Christian community can help the dating couple deal with the previous divorce (or divorces) and weigh out all the extenuating circumstances, and the couple along with the pastor can determine the best course of action on remarriage.
I can recommend you to a man who bring my husband back within two days after two years separation. ..

My understanding per the teaching of St. Paul is that as along as a non believering husband is willing to live with a believing Christian wife, she should stay in the marriage 1 Corithians 7:13. I suppose the question is to discern what is meant by willing to remain right! If the nonbeliever is ridiculing and or abusing the Christian wife is that really a cooperate spirit indicating willingness to remain or a provocative spirit noting an attempt to divide upon divorce? Probably if you haven't done it yet is to cry out to GOD for a fresh new anointing of the Holy Spirit to able able to return much kindness unto your enemy thus dumping fire onto their head. Perhaps to change him. Romans12:20. For a season perhaps s the Holy Spirit leads.However if not proceed as lead to to protect yourself. A video I listened to recently brought that to my intention by a divorced remarried Christian man formerly in ministry that was abused by a supposedly Christian wife that was really worldly. She abused and ridiculed him and eventually divorced him. Many in the church scorned his testimony as one denoting remarriage into adultry. However his story actually changed my fix theology on the matter! 😞 I don't have the link to share.
There are no documents whatsoever in the first 1500 years of Christianity that permitted remarriage.. The simple reading of the Bible verses concerning remarriage cannot be understood any other way than that Jesus plainly indicated no divorce/no remarriage. The early Christians all spoke, and if they could read, Koine Greek. They did not need to go to a Greek lexicon in order to figure out what a word or phrase meant. That was their spoken language. They understood Jesus plainly taught no divorce/no remarriage.
Although there were many points of difference theologically in the 1st 1500 years of Christianity, all Christians agreed that marriage was permanent-divorce and remarriage forbidden.
How was it that ever since the humanist Erasmus (Henry VIII influenced by him), in the 16th century, who opened the door to the possibility of divorce, although that view was a minuscule consideration that no churches embraced until the 20th century. In the later half of the 20th century divorce became easier.
The Internet is filled with websites that will confirm a person’s desire to remain in an adulterous marriage, what Jesus would call an adulterous marriage, with many proof texts from the Bible.
Unfortunately, church history is not on their side. These are novel, that is, new, interpretations of the word of God has clearly stated and what 2000 years of church history has believed. Marriage, whether before conversion or after, is indissoluble until the death of one of the partners.
The view I hold was the majority view for 2000 years-now a scant 6% of pastors preach what I preach.
If I were to preach the prevailing doctrine concerning divorce remarriage I would have nothing to lose.
However, if a pastor were to preach what I preach, which I’m convinced based on the historical; and plain meaning of the Bible passages that I gave you, and the way that for 2000 years Christians have interpreted it, that that pastor would find himself with the very, very small congregation.
If a pastor of a large mega-church began to preach the historical doctrine concerning the permanency of marriage held for 2000 years of its history , his church would end up being a handful of people with a very large mortgage to pay-guaranteed!
Jesus said the way was narrow that leads to eternal life and FEW there be that find it.
What does that mean?
People who want to find information that would support their opinion that sodomite marriage is not a sin, or that the sodomite lifestyle is not an abomination, can find many websites of “pastors” and theologians with lots of degrees following their names that can give them Bible verses, proof text, etc. to confirm their belief that the sodomite lifestyle is accepted by the Lord Jesus Christ.
There is a great falling away.
According to recent polls, Evangelical Millennials consider the sodomite lifestyle to not be a sin, and that the “old fogeys” in the church just don’t have the “understanding” they do.
They believe, as does the Emergent Church, that we should change and adapt to the culture we live in, and seek to have newer and fresher understanding and interpretation of what they consider bigoted Bible texts that old folks cling to.
The Baby Boomers likewise embraced remarriage in the same way. While the baby boomers started getting divorced in the 1960s, and those were primarily nonbelievers, as my parents were the only divorced couple in our church when they got divorced in the early 1960s when I was 4 years old.
Divorce was never heard of in our culture except in the rare occasion of movie stars, as divorce was a very expensive expenditure. Unbelievers were divorced who could afford it. Most people could not afford a divorce. California opened up the door for “no-fault “divorces. The divorce rate skyrocketed in the 80s with the advent of no-fault divorces.
The church was silent during this period. In my estimation, it was the love of money, not the love for truth, that kept pastors silent.
The fear of loss of members and money is a pretty powerful motivation to keep quiet about issues that are controversial, as divorce became prevalent. I am a pastor, I know!
Pastors did not want to lose the money nor the members by preaching against divorce. There was no council like there was in Jerusalem (Acts 15) to discuss the issue in the 80s in the light of the historical teaching of the permanency of marriage and remarriage being forbidden.
Even today, when was the last time you heard a sermon in church about covetousness being idolatry, and the Bible states that no idolater will make it into the kingdom of heaven, as Paul the apostle taught?
Modern pastors, especially mega-pastors, do not preach against sin and sins that will cause their congregants to find themselves outside the kingdom of God and the outer darkness as Jesus warned about.
Jesus, in the beginning of the book of Revelation:
Revelation of John 3:5: He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Modern christians have their proof texts and all whole slew of “Bible scholars” that prove their point that the sodomite lifestyle is permissible, and even blessed by God. They would just consider you an old guy that’s behind the times and not having a true understanding of the new Bible interpretations that permit sodomite marriage.
Ken Wilson, a vineyard pastor, from Ann Arbor Michigan, has written a book where he now teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ accepts sodomites and sodomite marriage.
We are in the last days, people are being deceived and deceiving. These people will not make it into the kingdom of heaven. This is the great apostasy the Bible warned about.
The divorce/remarriage issue is no different.
2000 years of church history forbade this, now the modern church of the West has come to a different conclusion than what the early church taught, and their understanding that Jesus did not make the rules “easier” in the sermon on the Mount but presented a call from discipleship which was based on on obedience to his teachings.
Even the 70, when they learned the hard teachings of Jesus, the Bible says, walked no more with him. Jesus turned to the 12 disciples and asked if they were interested in leaving also. The apostle Peter replied, “where else would we go, Lord, only you have the words of eternal life.”
35 years ago I visited this issue with my friends, and without studying, I told them since they were new creations in Christ, and old things passed away, therefore their marriage/divorce didn’t matter, since now they were saved. Number 1, I was not a the pastor at the time, I was a 22-year-old kid with an opinion that was not rooted in what the Bible taught, an opinion derived from my own limited reasoning.
If marriage is not valid before conversion, then anything and everything Jesus said about “adultery” would make no sense since no one was actually married. If marriage is only legitimate when performed in a church, as a Christian, then everybody that is not born again are not really married. It would be impossible to commit adultery since they’re not really married in God’s eyes.
According to the Bible marriage is ordained by God. Genesis. Believers and unbelievers can be married. A conversion experience does not delegitimize nor nullify any former contracts, covenants, agreements, or relationships.
A divorced father cannot refuse to pay child support to his children based on his recent conversion, by saying that he is a, “new creation in Christ-old things are passed away” therefore with that type of logic he would no longer be responsible for his children.
He would declare that he is not the same person as he was before his conversion therefore he is not obligated to pay child support-using that kind of logic.
A newly converted Christian cannot e-mail his mortgage company and declared that since he is a “new creation in Christ-old things have passed away”, the person he was before has died and therefore is not obligated to pay his mortgage-he is convinced that the “old man” was buried in baptism, and that included the “old man’s” mortgage.
Jesus in Matthew 24 warned that it was possible for Christians to be deceived. He warned of a falling away. Paul also said that the Antichrist would not the revealed on till there was a “Great Falling Away” of Christians from the faith.
In Matthew chapter 7, Jesus addresses people who are convinced that their successful ministries are proof of their relationship with the Lord Jesus, and so much that they declare “Lord, Lord”. These are not men who were unbelievers, these were people who were obviously in some type of ministry, of which Jesus does not negate their statements of demons cast out, prophecies made, and miracles done. Jesus doesn’t say that the miracles were illegitimate. The prophet Balaam prophesied true things, because he himself was false that did not disqualify what he prophesied that was true.
A successful ministry, according to Jesus, is no guarantee of one’s salvation. That is a very daunting and frightening thing. One can do many mighty miracles, lead many people to Jesus, all of which are legitimate miracles and legitimate salvation-just as Judas did miracles when he was sent out with the other disciples to preach.
Judas was a legitimate disciple-even his being a disciple of the Lord Jesus was not a guarantee of his salvation-and we know that Judas went to hell.
Matthew 7:21: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 7:22: On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty work
Mensajes para el Remanente Matthew 7:21-22 is saying that the ones who stand before Christ in heaven and say I did many works in your name he will say I did not know you depart from me. Because that person was self righteous and thought their works were getting them into heaven. Grace through faith is the only way. Not by perfect obedience nor by works.
Mensajes para el Remanente I whole heartily agree with 100% of everything you said. About Divorce and remarriage and about "Works" Jesus requires. Salvation is BY GRACE but it REQUIRES the WORK of REMAINING OBEDIENT to Christ.
After you come to Christ, He cleanses you from sin. And this cleansing is a daily thing it becomes a lifestyle of hearing His voice and obeying His guidance to remain free of sin. Because sin will keep people from entering heaven. Jesus NEVER TAUGHT grace only, He taught OBEDIENCE just as God taught in Genesis and Exodus.
If you lie without repenting of lying, you will go to Hell no matter how much grace you claim to have
You can replace lying with any sin unto death and if the sin is not repented of, then you will be lost.
The problem is EVERYBODY thinks their right. They think they know the truth. But Jesus said "I am the Truth"
If you don't seek Christ
If you don't follow Christ
How can you expect to go where Christ is
I feel like I wrote this but I didn't I'm copying this to my notes

@@keithhicks3358
No one but you are condemning yourself if you live a lifestyle that causes you to sin as long as you are with the new spouse. Jesus said only in the case of adultery can one remarry and if you go against that you are an adulterer and the word says there will be no adulterer's in heaven end of story.
No one here is saying this to condemn you, they say it to make you aware of the situation so you can avoid it and be able to get to heaven. God bless
@@viov1975 I thought that there is no remarriage for any reason. If they commit adultery against you you can divorce but still no remarriage. This is what I thought.
@@grateful1929
No, Jesus said if someone divorces and remarries not only do they commit adultery but their new spouse commits adultery as well, unless you were cheated upon, then you're ok.
There are two exceptions that will allow you to divorce and remarry.
1. As we discussed, if you know 100% they cheated on you. Not if you have a strong feeling they did, this must be a sure thing.
2. If you became a believer and you were already married and your significant other wants a divorce. Then you are unbound.
This must not have been meant for me to listen to cause I turned it on and played all the way through yet I didn't hear a single word🙍
It was a doctrine of demons he taught so thats good
@@womanatwellworshiptheFather agreed. This guys a false teacher denying scripture. Half or more professing believers will not enter the narrow gate as they’re living in adultery. In his view, I can murder daily and still go to heaven.
Even if Humpty Dumpty can't be put together again, God can restore a broken or even resurrect a dead marriage. The caller needs to return to his only real marriage and leave his non covenant relationship. God does not honour the second relationship. If your first spouse is alive, you are living in sin with the second person. Those who commit adultery do not make it to the Kingdom of Heaven. Repent and turn away from your sin.
Anton Lever so then you’re implying someone can lose their salvation if they’re remarried and do not get another divorce to correct it? So then repentance means you have to do a work like divorce to be saved? So then that is a works based salvation and not a grave based salvation right?
So God does NOT honour a second marriage????? So what will you do with this passage??
Deuteronomy 24:1-2 (KJV)
1 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.
Divorce and remarriage is NOT sin. Putting away a spouse and not giving them a bill of divorce and marrying another is sin. Divorce and remarriage is NOT.
Even Paul who was chose by Christ, tells us this.
What will you do with this passage???
1 Corinthians 7:27-28 (KJV)
27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
So now are you going to stand there and continue to tell me that God does not honour a second marriage???
Is the Word of God in error? Is the Word of God right or you????

Not good advice. 👎. “Moving forward” is not the same as repentance, which means to go in reverse.
You cannot steal a car, ask forgiveness for stealing, and continue to drive the stolen car. You cannot repent for stealing a car and still drive it. No forgiveness without repentance! Give the car back. Give the spouse back. You cannot be married to someone else's spouse while the first spouse is alive, this is the clear teaching of Jesus understood for 2000 years until the middle of the 20th Century.
There are several problems with your analogy. First you can't compare a car to a human being. We can buy and sell cars, but hopefully don't want to buy and sell human beings. Humans should not be property. Let's use another more accurate analogy: If I intentionally or unintentionally cut off your arm, can I just give you a new one? No, the damage has been done. However, I can repent and vow never to hurt another human being again. When one has destroyed a person or family by divorce, that hurt cannot be undone, but we can vow never to break covenant again. If I sin and become pregnant out of wedlock, would true repentance include the killing of the baby that is as the result of that sin?
If I sin by marrying again, is repentance the committing of the sin of divorcing again and breaking and destroying another family?
You say, "You cannot be married to someone else's spouse while the first spouse is alive, this is the clear teaching of Jesus understood for 2000 years until the middle of the 20th Century." But is this true? There was certainly one branch that went that way. Paul alludes to it, "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith...forbidding to marry."
Have you studied church history? My research has proven different than yours. Those in the first few hundred years of the church didn't even agree with each other on this issue. There were several that taught, contrary to what you stated, that you could remarry after a divorce. In fact, some early "church fathers," were even opposed to remarriage, even if the spouse had died. So your comment that this was "understood for 2000 years..." I would have to disagree with.
What about Acts 10:43??
@jeff h What did the thief do? He didn't repent of his sins (too late for that anyway). What he did do was acknowledge that Jesus was indeed the Messiah and pleaded for mercy, which the Lord granted.
@jeff h he Clearly repented in his heart, The Lord obviously read his heart and realized that if given more time the CRIMINAL (he was no mere thief, they weren't crucified and the original language is correctly translated "hardened criminal"- so he was AT LEAST an armed robber, probably worse) would have completely repented and followed Jesus.
@@martin9410 what did Zacchaeus do? What did Jesus declare after his repentance?
“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery. Luke 16:18
So this shows that even the innocent wife is committing adultery if she remarries.
Danny S yes u nailed it don’t listen to mans opinions only way to be white as snow is to dissolve the remarriage by getting back with your rightful spouse this man is leading people to hell
s h yes sir those who live as eunuchs for the kingdom applies to the divorced that know they can’t remarry until there divorced spouse dies they choose salvation over pleasing the flesh
Danny you are speaking the Truth. Many people (including PREVIOUSLY myself )can't handle the Truth bc it interferes and conflicts with their feelings.

@@antoniogutierrezjr3175 yes, Brother and I would add God forgives all sin that is repented of. A thief must stop stealing and return what was stolen, to be forgiven. If you've taken another one's spouse in adultery and remarriage you must repent to be forgiven.
@s h I like that explanation
Verses please.
Yeah, this is wrong. Hank is old, rich, and famous. He just don’t give a crap at this point.
This was horrible. There is eternal judgment involved with marriage and this guy shrugged it off like you only ate a grape at the grocery store.
Speaking of which, let me go to the other extreme to those folk who act as if there is NO FORGIVENESS for these people. Let’s pick up at the grape analogy. If I eat a fruit I did not pay for, I stole and I have to digest it and will also use the energy from that same fruit to try to repay the one I stole from, but the person will never be able to get back that exact fruit I took. Same way with remarriage sometimes. Some stuff you just can’t take back, especially when most of the church is ignorant about the subject. Most people are guilty of the sin of ignorance not the sin of rebellion.
All I tell folk is really make sure you have an answer from God, because you will be lost if your sins have not been purged by the blood of Christ.
Some folk have to plain and simple be made new and walk from a clean slate. Some things can not be undone.
A lot of these teachers know that, but they preach hard judgment on the sin that they don’t struggle with and at the same time have an excuse for the sin they can’t get over.
Preach!!! God Doesn't Honor Explicit, Definitive Sin. He Wouldn't Have Said It's Adultery if it was negotiable. It doesn't magically cease being Adultery after demonic vows are spoken, no more than it would cease to be Adultery if done in secret, with no vows, behind the back of a Spouse one was still living with. To say otherwise is like saying theft ceases to be theft if you can manage to get your neighbour's property out of his house and into your own. Yahweh El Elyon Presented The Example Via Hosea & Gomer, And Yeshua Jesus The Christ Mightily Reaffirmed This. Herodias was an Adulteress, even if her original husband was disreputable. If a "divorce" isn't Scriptural, it isn't recognized by God. These debates have happened since before St. Augustine's time, and his view on it was categorical, as was that of our Lord Yeshua Jesus Christ. A troubled relationship can be a valid reason for a spouse distancing, even distancing via moving out, from the other spouse, but always with the Prayer for and spirit for Reconciliation. If the spouse goes from distancing for whatever form of rehabilitation, and goes from creating space to forming new relationships with other people, that is Adultery: it doesn't matter whether they call themselves "divorced" or anything of the sort, it and any subsequent relationships are Adulteries. Consider John The Baptist and the wicked Herodias. At no point does the Bible suggest that her 1st and true Husband was a good person: indeed, all we know about that family suggests he was certainly wicked, NEVERTHELESS, her "remarriage" to his brother was Adultery, and John rightly Rebuked it... her response to that Rebuke tells us all we need to know about the truly evil and unrepentant state of her heart.
This is confusing beyond belief to me. My exes both left me for other men, betraying me in nearly every possible way. How am I supposed to please God? Marry? Stay single?
The issue of spousal abandonment/adultry with respect to divorce and remarriage is addressed here… www.equip.org/articles/biblical-grounds-for-divorce-and-remarriage/ The question of whether or not it is best for you to remarry is one best dealt with in the context of a healthy well-balanced church under the care of a biblically grounded community of Christian leaders.
@@BibleAnswerMan I read the article. Over all it was very sound biblically, but it stated that it took four parties to enact a marriage and four parties to dissolve a marriage. I don't find this to be true biblically. The article suggests it takes the husband, wife, church and state to dissolve and enact a marriage. Actually, it three parties, the husband, wife and state. "Church" is so loosely defined nowadays. Are we speaking about the worldwide church or a manmade denomination? Certainly manmade churches may provide spiritual counsel, but it still takes 3 parties to dissolve and enact a marriage. For instance, If a couple is married by a justice of the peace without the influence of the church, it is still a marriage. And to break up such a marriage in most cases is still wrong regardless of the fact that the church was absent in its origins.
They committed adultery against you and broke covenant. Paul said in 1 Corthinians 7 that if you've been "released from a wife," if you choose to marry, "you have not sinned." It's really up to you. If you feel more comfortable and at peace by remaining single, do so. Or if you choose to marry, do so. Just a word of advice: since this has happened twice, you might want to spend a lot of time in prayer (which you probably already have) and take your time (no rush). Wait upon the Lord.
I'm in the same boat. First ex was a pedophile and a philanderer. Second had an Oedipus Complex ... Mama was his sweetheart. They didn't have carnal relations, but he couldn't leave Mama and cleave unto his wife (me). After praying and praying, and reading my Bible through, I can only say that it is right and good to stay single. Anything else would be committing adultery. With the mess (Covid) that we're in now, it's a good time to pull out the Good Book, study hard, bring Christ to those around you ... and stay pure. He isn't long on coming
I hear you brother. My wife and I met in our church 30 years ago which should be a very good basis for a Christian marriage. But over time, God was left out of our relationship and marriage and the vine withered because it wasn't watered with His truth and love. Inevitably, human nature with all its weaknesses and sin took over and the marriage dissolved. It was really on life support for a very long time but I felt it was only I trying hard to keep it alive. Eventually I was made to leave and she subsequently divorced me. My two teenage daughter's have also been so influenced to refuse any contact with me and only my son has stayed in touch. She entered a relationship with a guy in her office as well as throwing the dice on Tinder. She is now in a serious relationship with a non-Christian and She sees no harm in remarriage.
BUT...I have fought this in my heart and my head, that it seems so wrong that I must be the one to remain single. Slowly God has brought me to a place of acceptance as hard as it is. Submission brings peace. Truth is truth and if changed is no longer truth. As much as I havent wanted to admit it, its clear what the truth is regarding this: only the death of one partner allows remarriage.
All true Christians face a cost and test of faith. Nobody will enter heaven without the struggle of going against our human nature. Jesus himself had the ultimate cost to pay against the desire to save his flesh. The Message is to deny yourself.
As I've already said, I struggle every day with this but know that for me to be right with God on the last day means laying aside my own thoughts and reasonings now. We will see very clearly then that obedience was the only choice to make...
He answered the question as a true false prophet
Excatly
My former wife after 18 years of marriage committed adultery. She was also not interested in any form of Christian belief and told me I should find someone that is from the church.
Its been 6 years now and I have not been with anyone ever since.
I know he gave me permission to divorce her but If i remarry again with someone else , is that commiting adaultry if the women I'm interested in someone divorced because her former husband committed adaultry.
I love scripture and I want to do the honorable thing and I also understand , it's not good for a man to be alone. I have a good support of Godly friends but it's not the same as having your own spouse where you can share intimacy not only physically but mentally as well.
Can you please respond with scripture as I struggle with this.
It would be impossible to give the green light on remarriage to any TH-cam user. This is the sort of thing that is best handled within the context of a healthy well balanced church.
Some questions you have to grapple with include: Is reconciliation with former spouses possible? Is marriage to the other possible, and both in the relationship are divorced, the previous marriages have been formally dissolved?

Hosea 3:1 & 4
If you have been single and celibate, you have done the correct thing. What she does is irrelevant. Read 1 Corinthians 7 to see that you are to remain single or reconcile with her, and she likewise. Neither of you can get God to give you a true second marriage with another partner, so you are stuck being single or with her.
What about if I am divorced for adultery and since have a relationship of 9 years with the same man he is my life partner where do you go from there? Ex-husband is remarried.
In Mark 10:11-12 and Luke 16:18, Jesus clearly lets us know that whoever divorces and remarries commits adultery. Romans 7:2-3 and 1 Corinthians 7:39, let us know that only death frees a person from his/her marriage; not divorce. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 says that if a person divorces, he/she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to his/her spouse. You cannot marry another person, if your covenant spouse is still alive and expect to be in God's will. If you remarry, you will be committing adultery. "So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called am adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man (Romans 7:3)." Adultery is a sin and it will keep you from entering heaven. Please read 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. Your soul is worth more than an adulterous marriage. The word of God says what it means and means what it says. Trust in the Lord Jesus and live for Him with your whole heart in reverence and obedience. If you love Jesus, you will keep His commandments (1 John 2:3-6). The Lord said, "Be holy for I am holy (1 Peter 1:16)."
I think you know the answer very well and are only asking the question because you're hoping to read something that gets your conscience clear. The true answer is that one cannot remarry unless the spouse dies. You can divorce, but you cannot get remarried.
Acts 10:43
You are still married to first man. His adultery did not force God to break your bond. That he is falsely remarried changes nothing. Your new man is no life partner as you already pledged your life to your first husband and anything you do with said man is adultery.
@@znhait you can remarry if adultery occurred god divorced israel
Every answer that man gives is not of God. The reasoning for tiptoeing around the question, is because men had no scriptures to back up a second marriage that's acceptable to God other than formal spouse dying. (Rom 7:2)
However, if someone is divorce and they wishes to remarry they are allowed to remarry their divorced spouse only 1Cor7:11.
No where in the entire bible is there a loophole to be with another not even if you marry them. Jesus said we'll be in an adulterous marriage even if we divorced the previous spouse. Matt 5:32
Be careful to hear the truth and pray that God through His Holy Spirit reveal truth to us. Deception seems right, when that's what everyone around us are doing. But let God be the truth and every man be a liar. Hear Him

*Amen soldier!*
So you get married under God and then you decide to divorce, a sin against God, and then you marry again, but you know you did wrong divorcing and remarrying, and you want God’s forgiveness, and the way this man (can’t bother to know his name) tells you to do is to start “forgetting the past and try to live in God’s grace.” Wow. What a great way to have people be unaccountable for their errors and get people condemned. Good job! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I don't believe it condemns people to live under grace...it actually upholds the Gospel in its unadulterated form.
Asking for forgiveness implies recognition of having done something wrong. We already know we're forgiven even so. We realize that even if we continue to sin we are still forgiven. It is Living Water for those who thirst. That's the good news, and it transforms a person from the inside out.
We are at the mercy seat, and we know who God is.
God is ALWAYS faithful, even when we are not. God wants us to rest in God's hand and trust in God's jurisdiction over our needs. If we again start trusting only ourselves instead of God and basing our salvation on our own deeds (say, by divorcing a second spouse)...we are adulterating the Gospel.
@@KristiMusicVideos God (the bridegroom) is faithful even when we are not, but you need to understand that one needs to return to him. Same with marriage. If you are married by the Church, and you divorce which is not permissible unless the marriage was never valid to begin with, you need to return to your spouse in order to be ok with God, otherwise living with another is simply adultery.
@@victor382 that's not necessarily true. That which you call the church, for example, may not be the true Church. In my heart I'm not convinced the marriage was valid to begin with.
@@victor382 I am not convinced that my current marriage is adultery.
@@victor382 I returned to God in 2000, and I have nothing to hide from God. Whether or not I remain in my marriage is up to God. I rest in that. There is too much I don't know in the context of my life.
Returning to God means placing complete trust in God. It's restful there.
This is still confusing, which way do you go
What if you got divorced and married another person? Do you have to divorce the second husband ?
God sees the adulterous remarriage as sin and not a marriage at all....it’s like asking if a homosexual marriage should divorce each other.....
Proverbs 28
13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Rawmiga Wanessa if you want to be in relationship with God... Isaiah 56:1-9
...
Yes, you are not joined by God in this false second marriage. You remain joined to first husband.
technically the second "marriage" is not a marriage at all to begin with.
You mustn't continue conjugal relations because that is adultery. Romans 7:2-3
When we take this approach, it would be tempting for christians to fall into adultery, knowing that God will forgive them and their new marriage blessed by God. I don't think so. God forgives but he won't bless a marriage that has come out of adultery. It's not a "get out of jail free ticket card"
You have a deep misunderstanding of God's grace. Do these abuses take place with God's grace? Of course. Notice Romans 6:1-2, "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it." Notice a couple of things here:
1. Did Paul try to change their theology on grace? They thought to themselves, "Hey since we are saved by grace, we can keep on sinning as much as we want. It will show God's wonderful grace just that much more!" No, he didn't try to change their concept of grace, but rather attempted to shame them for such a non-christlike attitude. He schools them and says, "May it never be..." Then he urges these saved believers to follow the Spirit and live a life worthy of the gift of eternal life that they've already received. Yes, some people will abuse that grace, but that grace is still grace. You may disagree, but Paul would argue with you.
2. You said, "God forgives but he won't bless a marriage that has come out of adultery..." and yet we have evidence where He did. When David married Bathsheba, after adultery, deceit, and murder, they lost their first child, but God blessed them with Solomon who was allowed to build the temple and even composed some of God's Word. Your comment is not biblical, but purely a subjective opinion.
3. You say, "It's not a "get out of jail free ticket card'" Isn't that exactly what we have regarding our salvation? Paul, quoting Old Testament Scripture says in Romans 3, "There is none righteous, not even one." Isn't our salvation the ultimate "get out of jail free ticket card?" We deserve death. We deserve punishment. It's sad, but sometimes believers do abuse God's grace, just like those in Corinth did. They will receive discipline from the Lord and quite possibly lose some of their rewards in Heaven.
What if you divorce the spouse that committed adultery/fornication against you (which in Mathew Jesus clearly allows) are you free to remarry another then?
PhilaRevolutionaryWarrior PA how do you see it?
@@martin9410 I see it as the Word of God states over and over... divorce is NEVER preferred by God EVEN when adultery/fornication has taken place and we are expected to forgive the transgressing spouse and keep our vows of Till death do us part and remain married
PhilaRevolutionaryWarrior PA I do agree that if all possible to stay together.
IS REMARRIAGE AFTER DIVORCE A CONTINUAL STATE OF ADULTERY?
ABSOLUTLY YES.
FORNICATION IS SEX'S SIN BEFORE MARRIED, SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS SEX'S SIN IN MARRIED, ADULTERY IS SEX'S SIN IN REMARRIED AFTER DIVORCE.
JESUS LORD SAYS THESE WORDS ONLY TO MEN WHO ARE HUSBANDS ( IN MATTHEW 5 : 32A)
EVERYONE DIVORCES HIS WIFE, EXCEPT FOR SEXUAL IMMORALTY, AND MARRIES ANOTHER WOMAN, HE COMMITS ADULTERY.
THESE WORDS HAS TWO MEANING
1. A HUSBAND IS NOT ALLOWED TO DIVORCE HIS WIFE IF SHE HAS NO SEX IMMORALITY.
2. A HUSBAND IS ALLOWED TO DIVORCE HIS WIFE IF SHE HAS SEX IMMORALITY,,THEN HE MARRIES ANOTHER WOMAN (NEVER BEEN MARRIED OR VIRGIN AS WELL)
LORD SAYS THESE WORDS TO WOMEN WHO ARE WIFE (MARK 10 : 11) A WIFE IS NOT ALLOWED TO DIVORCE HER HUSBAND ( IT HAS NO EXCEPTION),,IF SHE DIVORCES HIM, THEN REMARRIED ANOTHER MAN COMMITS ADULTERY.
IT CONTAINS TWO STATEMENTS :
1. A WIFE IS NOT ALLOWED TO DIVORCE HIS HUSBAND WHO IS FAITHFUL.
2. A WIFE ALSO IS NOT ALLOWED TO DIVORCE HER HUSBAND THOUGH HE HAS IMMORALITY SEX, ABUSIVE, LEFT HER.
BUT IF SHE HAS TO DIVORCE HIM, SHE REMAIN UNMARRIED OR RECONCILED TO HER HUSBAND . SHE IS BOUND TO HEF HUSBAND AS LONG AS HE LIVES BUT IF HE DIES, SHE IS FREE TO REMARRY BUT WITH A BELIEVER (1 COR 7 : 10, 11, 39 LORD COMMAND)
LORD SAYS THESE WORDS TO ALL MEN (MATTHEW 5 : 32B, 19 : 9B, LUKE 16 : 19B)
EVERYONE (SINGLE MAN, DIVORCEE, WIDOWED MAN) MARRIES A WOMAN WHO IS DIVORCED, HE COMMITS ADULTERY.
YEAH THE SCRIPTURES IS VERY CLEARLY
BUT SOME OF CHRISTIAN PEOPLE INCLUDE PASTOR ADDING OR CHANGE THE SCRIPTURE THAT A WIFE CAN REMARRIAGE IF HER HUSBAND HAS SEX IMMORALITY , ABUSIVE, LEFT HER
My father divorced my mom after 38 years of marriage and remarried a home wrecking Jezebel and get this...he still considers himself a Bishop of the Lord. What a disspointment my father is and I'm afraid he will be lost. I only pray that God holds me up when he does pass away in adultery because it will be a second heartbreak for me because I know he will go down into an unsanctified grave and will not make the first resurrection when Jesus comes back.
I was a secret drunk and commitess adultery in my marriage. My wife divorced me. 7 yrs later I've been thru alot and turned to scriptures to lead my life, in repentance and guidence. My x wife has a live in boyfriend. I feel I cant remarry and want to honor God but I struggle with lust and companionship. Any and all advice needed. Please.
This is why the orthodox church allows remarriage in cases like this. I would say there are too many over zealous Roman Catholics in this forum. I would say to the over Zealous worry about your own sins because Im sure there are many than busying yourself with others sins. If Christ did not condemn the Samaritan woman who had 5 husbands the the one she was living with not even her husband. He was less judgmental than many so called Christians posting stupid stuff on this video. Catholics have changed their stance so many times on issues you cant keep up. God sees the human heart and dysfunctions man cannot see and will judge us based according to the knowledge he has vs mans opinion. While the church fathers are most important they are not infallible in their teaching.
Pray about it. No one is worth you going to hell
Reconciliation
Pray and ask the Lord to guide you ... I wouldn't put too much stock I'm the opinions of man because they are both limited and biased... May the grave of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you
The question never got answered. Hank assumed they were repentant. What if there was no repentance, is it continual adultery? They will always be an adulterer in the courts of man per Romans 7:2,3 even after there is repentance. It would be similar to someone who has committed a crime like murder. IF they repent there is forgiveness but they will always be labeled a murderer in the courts of man, however in the courts of heaven IF they repent their sins are as if they never committed them. The KEY is always IF they ask for forgiveness and acknowledge the sin.
Repentance is forsaking the sin by not killing again.

You need faith to go on in him. Jesus spoke to me from a cloud in the sky so continue on in the teaching of the Holy Spirit for they will all be taught by God. Reading the scriptures daily.
Isn’t the main thing when a person covets having another spouse to pursue supposed greater fulfillment? When a married person takes the liberty to act in intimate talk and relating to another? So that they are moving away from their covenant partner?
Why did you leave out repentance? Jesus said, "Except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. Repentance requires changing. You cannot say you have repented while continuing in your adulterous lifestyle.
So essentially asking the remarried to divorce, thus committing another sin? Does that not seem strange?
When in those last moments of death, the robber, a hardened criminal said forgive me and have mercy on me, he was told.youll be with me in paradise. If that man had lived he could have never robbed another soul. The woman who washed his feet with her hair, she did nothing to deserve forgivness and wept because he gave her the grace to be forgiven and to stand where she was and give her choices to him and live right, set free and broken from the chains that bound her. It is the tears of the heart full of sorrow he seeks... mot the Pharisees being good enough by making all the right actions...
Jesus calls the remarriage adultery (Mark 10:11-12 & Luke 16:18). People call the remarriage a marriage. People must decide if they are going to believe in what Jesus calls the remarriage or believe in what people call the remarriage. When a person believes what Jesus calls remarriage (He said it is adultery) and divorces from the remarriage, the person is separating him or herself from an adulterous relationship. An adulterous relationship is sin. The person is leaving (divorcing from) the sin of adultery and is also divorcing from a remarriage that people view as a legitimate marriage when, according to the Bible, it is not. No sin is committed by leaving an adulterous relationship. It is a sin to stay in the adultery. If the person does not leave the adulterous relationship he or she remains in sin. Keep in mind that when a person believes that the remarriage is a marriage, they are in error because Jesus calls the remarriage adultery. I hope this answers your questions.
Adultry is committed by a woman that has been turned out without divorce papers. You need to study more on the times... If you have the paper, all is well but sad.
@@mommysexchange That is under the Law. It is not what Jesus said. See Mark 10:11-12 and Luke 16:18. We are to obey Jesus.
That isnt how it was worded in hebrew... it is quite amazing how the translation could be off in the slightest and cause such a rip.
"If marriage is symbolic of Christ and the Church and the husband repudiates and divorces his wife without a biblical reason (adultery) then why is that woman still bound to a husband that is clearly not acting as Christ would? Does it mean that Christ is equally cruel with his bride? Is that the picture we as Christians are supposed to give others about marriage?" These are a few questions I have been asked by Muslims when they attack Christianity...another one is that "Jesus clearly sees unjustly divorced women as "damaged goods" since she is considered an adulterer if she remarries which is something that in Jesus' time would have given the woman protection." I find their arguments irrefutable by what I read in the Biblical text, and it is actually, sad.

God is the creator of the universe and everything in it. He is the one who made His own laws. Mankind is in the condition he is in because of sin. If man was sinless from the beginning and continued in that state, there would never have been any divorce and, therefore, no remarriage while the covenant spouse is still living. We live in a fallen world because of disobedience to God. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He will not change His law to suit man because man chose to be disobedient. Likewise, if you are a parent with children, you have certain rules that you have for your children to follow. Some of those rules are non-negotiable. For example, you may tell the child to never steal from you. If the child choses not to follow your non-negotiable rule, do you change it to suit the child. You do not say to the child, "OK, since you do not want to keep my rule of not stealing from me, I will change it to allow you to steal from me." This is a scenario that is highly unlikely to occur. God has laws that are non-negotiable. The only reason why people are seeking ways around His laws is because they do not what to follow them.

There is nothing in the Scriptures that suggests a person who divorces (for all the wrong reasons) then remarries is in perpetual adultery. Advising the divorcee who divorced for all the wrong reasons and remarried to divorce the current spouse and either try to reconcile with their first ex-spouse or remain single simply exacerbates the problem. A person may have divorced for all the wrong reason. A person may have remarried without justification. Still, since the person is already remarried, the person is to work on making the current marriage work, as opposed to dissolving another marriage covenant. One can neither unscramble an egg, nor defuse a bomb that has already exploded; rather, one can only move forward in keeping the current marriage covenant they have established.

ShreddedWheat305 the Bible also says don’t divorce quite clearly so are you supposed to divorce again in order to stop sin. That’s sinning in order to stop sin. It’s redundant? I agree with what he’s saying. Work on the remarriage you are in and beg for forgiveness
The Bible is clear; Reconcile (to your first covenant living spouse) or remain single. If an unbeliever departs from you, you may divorce and live separately, but to remarry while the first spouse is still alive will always be adultery. Repent, people!
The caller does not understand the passage in Luke 16:8, and neither does this guy who answered him.
Jesus did not say it was a sin to divorce and remarry. Jesus was addressing putting away.
There is a difference! The Israelite's were putting their wives away but NOT divorcing them. By doing this the woman was not allowed to go and be the wife of another man because she was still the wife of the man
who put her away but did not divorce her.
So Jesus was say if a man PUT AWAY his wife and marry another commits adultery, and if the wife who was
put away but not divorced marries another man she commits adultery, because she is still married to the
other man. No divorce had take place.
Jesus said the only exception to putting away a wife and marrying another woman was if the wife was
unfaithful to him. In the case of adultery a man was not required to give the woman a bill of divorce because
it was viewed as divorce when the woman cheated on the man. No bill/writing of divorcement was needed in an adultery case. And so the unfaithful woman was divorce from her husband because of her unfaithfulness and the man could put her away without it being sin, and remarry if he so desired and not be committing
adultery.
Deuteronomy 24:1-2 (KJV)
1 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.
You must understand the difference between putting away and divorce.
God hates putting away. He never said he hated divorce. If this were the case then God sinned when he
divorced Israel, giving Israel a bill of divorce.
The reason God hates putting away is due to the fact if binds the woman to have to live her life alone, not
being able to remarry and have a husband to care for her.
Jeremiah 3:6-8 (KJV)
6 The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
7 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Did God sin by divorcing Israel??????? NO!

Perfect obedience and works do not grant salvation.
Romans 4:1-8 New King James Version (NKJV)
Abraham Justified by Faith
4 What then shall we say that Abraham our father[a] has found according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was [b]accounted to him for righteousness.” 4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted [c]as grace but as debt.
David Celebrates the Same Truth
5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, 6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered;
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”
This is salvation through the gift of Faith in Jesus Christ. After salvation comes sin no more or something worse may happen to you. John 5:14.

If you don’t put away someone without having a certificate of divorce and marry someone else then you are still legally married to that person and committing adultery.Read the King James Bible Matthew 5:32.There is a difference between divorce and put away king James explains it differently

But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”
You are already married to your first spouse. A ceremony would just be a public way to demonstrate that you are. You would also be seen legally to be married. You don't need a new wedding, but you should do so and make your vows ones of continuing to keep your original vows.
The Bible says whosoever that means man saved or unsaved the first word says divorce is his wife, and marries another so the first one says divorce that alone is saying then to extend it and marry another so how do you think you can get away with doing that and get in another marriage and think that God is okay with it
very big problem with what was said. It is not enough to only confess your sin. you need to repent.
Preach!!! God Doesn't Honor Explicit, Definitive Sin. He Wouldn't Have Said It's Adultery if it was negotiable. It doesn't magically cease being Adultery after demonic vows are spoken, no more than it would cease to be Adultery if done in secret, with no vows, behind the back of a Spouse one was still living with. To say otherwise is like saying theft ceases to be theft if you can manage to get your neighbour's property out of his house and into your own. Yahweh El Elyon Presented The Example Via Hosea & Gomer, And Yeshua Jesus The Christ Mightily Reaffirmed This. Herodias was an Adulteress, even if her original husband was disreputable. If a "divorce" isn't Scriptural, it isn't recognized by God. These debates have happened since before St. Augustine's time, and his view on it was categorical, as was that of our Lord Yeshua Jesus Christ. A troubled relationship can be a valid reason for a spouse distancing, even distancing via moving out, from the other spouse, but always with the Prayer for and spirit for Reconciliation. If the spouse goes from distancing for whatever form of rehabilitation, and goes from creating space to forming new relationships with other people, that is Adultery: it doesn't matter whether they call themselves "divorced" or anything of the sort, it and any subsequent relationships are Adulteries. Consider John The Baptist and the wicked Herodias. At no point does the Bible suggest that her 1st and true Husband was a good person: indeed, all we know about that family suggests he was certainly wicked, NEVERTHELESS, her "remarriage" to his brother was Adultery, and John rightly Rebuked it... her response to that Rebuke tells us all we need to know about the truly evil and unrepentant state of her heart.
Mat 5:32, Mat 19:9, you can't live in an udulterous. Relationship and just ask for forgiveness. You must repent of that relationship. That means end that relationship! Painfull yes but what is the end result? No adulterers will make in the kingdom of god.
As much as I'd like to believe I can choose to remarry after my wife divorced me and now lives an adulterous life, I cannot in clear conscience do it. I have fought this in my heart and mind but gradually God reveals that submission brings peace.
Worshipping in spirit and truth WILL cost our flesh and its desires. Nobody who calls themselves a Christian will cruise into heaven. Its across the will of our nature.
Truth is truth, and if even changed a little is no more truth. Better to pay the cost now than later eternally...

If a man commits adultery against his wife and divorces her, Years later recommits his life to Christ and repent of his adultery is he still allowed to remarry another who is a strong Christian? Yes or no?
Did Jesus says i should leave my wife and children and go search for my youth wife who is now maybe married and a mother.
I notice that nobody here is willing to answer this question, which has been asked several times.
This brought me peace!
False teaching
It can bring peace, but it won’t help you. One can believe many things that are comfortable for ones sin, that doesn’t mean it’s true and that God accepts it.
This teaching is pure and simple heresy. As a confessing Christian, if you get remarried for any other reason then adultery Jesus said you become an adulterer end of story. How do you confess of your sin, repent of it and then take up a lifestyle of sin knowingly that causes you to repeat it over and over. It's no different than any other sin in the way that you commit it, repent and not repeat it. Can you truly repent of a sin you willingly commit to doing as a lifestyle choice? I think not!
Jesus said if you do this you are an adulterer and the word says there will be no adulterer's in heaven. Old age like this man does not mean wisdom so for your sake, believe Jesus not him.

Honor God through an adulterous marriage? Wow! I believe Jesus meant what he said. Remarriage is adultery when your first spouse is alive.
It is good to hear from Jesus in this.
I have never read anywhere in the entire New Testament of an "adulterous marriage." That term is foreign to the New Testament. How come there is not one mention, not one command, not one example in the New Testament church of anyone being told to leave their spouse regardless of which marriage it is. And how do two wrongs make things right? How can sinning by divorcing again and breaking yet another vow be Christlike and wholesome? It's not about somehow honor "God through an adulterous marriage," rather it's about repenting of the breaking of vows and covenants and doing your best, never to do it again. Why wasn't remarriage adultery in the Law of Moses? We know that adultery was a stoning offense, yet remarriage wasn't seen as such.

DO NOT BELONG TO THE WORLD.
@@martin9410 You are correct in stating that you will not find the term "adulterous marrriage" in the New Testament. Jesus straight out called it adultery, so the remarriage is not a marriage in God's eyes. Please study Mark 10:1-12 and Luke 16:18 where Jesus said that if a man or woman divorces his/her spouse and marries another he/she is committing adultery. Adultery is a sin and it is not marriage. To forsake a sin, you must stop committing the sin. When. a person divorces and gets "married" to another person while the covenant spouse is alive, that so-called "marriage" is adultery even if people recognize it as a marriage; Jesus does not. Therefore, to quit the sin of adultery, the person has to severe the adulterous relationship. The Bible does not have to spell out what you must do to quit the sin of adultery. When Jesus told the woman caught in adultery to "go and sin no more," He did not have to tell her to stop having sex with a man who was not her husband. The woman knew what caused the adultery and she knew what she had to do to stop it. You also mentioned that if the "remarried" person divorces, he/she would be committing another sin. That is not true because in God's eyes the remarried person is not in a marriage, but is committing adultery. The divorce is for the purpose of untying a legal "marriage" in the eyes of the law; not the untying of a "covenant marriage" in the eyes of God. To answer your final question about why remarriage was not adultery under the Law of Moses, Jesus addresses this in Mark 10:1-12. He said that Moses permitted divorce because of the hardness of the heart and then Jesus explained what God had intended for marriage from the beginning. In other words, Jesus was bringing us back to God's intention for marriage which was one man married to one woman for life. That is why Jesus said that if a man/woman divorces his/her spouse and marries another, he/she is committing adultery. We as Christians are not under the Law of Moses. We follow the commands of Jesus. He came to fulfill the Law. Divorce and remarriage while the covenant spouse is alive is adultery and adultery is a sin. To be forgiven of any sin, we must quit the sin. We cannot continue to practice the sin and expect God to forgive us for something we have no intentions of giving up.
@@godgavemeeyestosee You said, "so the remarriage is not a marriage in God's eyes." I read your texts (in fact I've read all the passages on the subject, both old and new testaments), And I see nothing about "in God's eyes." Nowhere in the New Testament is a command given, an example given, or even advice that says to the early church that one should leave their present spouse if remarried and sin again by divorcing (breaking another vow). It's just not there.
The passages you cite in Mark 10 for instance is in reference to the Pharisees who thought they weren't committing adultery if they just divorced their wife in order to marry another. Jesus said that the act of divorcing in order to marry is still adultery.
You say, "When. a person divorces and gets "married" to another person while the covenant spouse is alive, that so-called "marriage" is adultery even if people recognize it as a marriage; Jesus does not." Would have to respectfully disagree. Never read of a "covenant spouse" in the New Testament. Jesus was still under the Law of Moses and observe it prior to his resurrection. He would not have changed the marriage laws. The Law of Moses was extremely clear that there were different reasons for divorce and remarriage that did not involve adultery (for that was a stoning offense). Even the priests were not allowed to marry "divorced women or widows," even though the rest of the Jewish population could.
You say, "Therefore, to quit the sin of adultery, the person has to severe the adulterous relationship." I totally agree. However a marriage is not an adulterous relationship.
The example you refer to in John 8 is a different case and doesn't apply here. There is not even the indication that the man she was involved with, that they were both married to other people. One may have been and the other not. We don't know. The point being that the man she was having sex with, she was not married to, in the eyes of God or in the eyes of men. If she had been married in the eyes of God, the Jewish men wouldn't have challenged Jesus about it. And of course to repent, one should not have sex outside of their marriage.
Your answer to my objection about the law of Moses is a weak one. You quoted that Moses "permitted divorce" because of hardness of heart. We still have that today. Also, though Moses "permitted" it, God would have never allowed and sanctioned that sin be Ok under certain circumstances. God doesn't work that way.
You say, "That is why Jesus said that if a man/woman divorces his/her spouse and marries another, he/she is committing adultery." It's not "committing adultery," it's having "commit adultery." It's not a continuous action once a marriage has been enacted.
You say, "Divorce and remarriage while the covenant spouse is alive is adultery and adultery is a sin." Again, I don't read of a "covenant spouse," that term is foreign to the New Testament. There is no proof or example that what you say is true. Show me one marriage or remarriage in the Bible where this is true.
You conclude, "To be forgiven of any sin, we must quit the sin. We cannot continue to practice the sin and expect God to forgive us for something we have no intentions of giving up." I agree with that statement, but not in the context in which you mean. I agree with the truth of your comment, however we would disagree with what repentance is once the sin has been committed and a home, family, relationship has already been broken and irreparable. Repentance is not sinning again by divorcing once again and breaking another vow and another home and being a repeated vow breaker. Repentance is by a change of mind and a willingness from this point forward to not break vows, to be faithful, to not break up any more homes or families. This is true repentance in this case.
Obviously, you're not going to change your mind and neither will I. However, I used to believe exactly as you until my eyes were opened and I studied every passage in the Bible on the topic, in its context, and in its historical relationship. So further dialogue is fruitless and hopeless.
What do say to the churches and the people who say even if you have ten kids and have been with the second wife for 25 years, the only way to be forgiven is to divorce your second wife, break up the family, and stay single. I would like to hear you're thoughts because there are a lot of people who believe this.
Grace to you
Those individuals are creating a solution from falsely believing that Jesus taught that divorce and remarriage is "ineffective" events. Thus (for them) those remarried are 'supposedly" sleeping with someone that isn't their spouse. Often adding "in God's eyes" to qualify that theory because that theory is the opposite of what Jesus actual said. So from their suppositional beliefs this becomes "perpetual adultery" instead of the one time "commits adultery" of Jesus' teaching.
Conversely, In Jesus' teaching the adultery is the inadvertent consequence of divorce being conceded. Jesus is making an observation from Israel's history where divorce had been conceded (Matthew 19:8a) and remarriage graciously allowed. Thus Jesus is speaking of actual events where one spouse had supplanted another. They were then obligated to their present spouse and NOT their former.
The difference between the two perspectives is "divorce" and "marries another" (as spoken by Jesus) are events that actually changed marital status. Blessings

forgiven is forgiven period.
With God, forgiven is forgiven if you quit the sin. Jesus told the woman caught in adultery that He did not condemn her and He also told her to go and sin no more.
Forgiveness is based on repentance. You cannot steal a car, ask forgiveness for stealing, and continue to drive the stolen car. You cannot repent for stealing a car and still drive it. No forgiveness without repentance! Give the car back. Give the spouse back. You cannot be married to someone else's spouse while the first spouse is alive, this is the clear teaching of Jesus understood for 2000 years until the middle of the 20th Century.

GETTING A DIVORCE TO REPENT ON A REMARRIAGE IS AN ATTEMPT TO DO MORE THAN JUST CONFESS TO BE WASHED (1 John 1:9-10), AS INSTRUCTED, BUT NOW YOU ARE TRYING TO ATONE FOR YOUR SIN, and you can only ATONE for your sins by BLOOD WHICH IS WHAT CHRIST DID FOR YOU 2000 YEARS AGO AND THIS MUST BE YOUR FAITH.

"For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make ATONEMENT for the sins of the people."

Remarriage After Divorce?
Consecutive polygamy (as many husbands or wives as you like but only one at a time) is now an accepted norm in contemporary society. Hardly surprising, since the social, legal, moral and financial restraints holding marriages together for a lifetime have been steadily eroded in a relativist age where anything goes.
What is surprising is that divorce and remarriage are becoming as common inside the church as outside, even among Christian leaders and especially in the Evangelical stream. Believers have been outspoken about such issues as abortion and homosexuality though their Lord Jesus said nothing about either. He did say quite a lot about the subject of this book but there is either a reluctance to take his teaching at face value or an eagerness to enlarge his ‘exception’ until it becomes the rule.
This teaching primarily appeals to those for whom the Bible is the final authority in all matters of belief and behaviour, especially those who preach to, teach and counsel others. David Pawson believes that the church should be leading the world uphill rather than following the world downhill.

At no point does the Bible suggest that her 1st and true Husband was a good person: indeed, all we know about that family suggests he was certainly wicked, NEVERTHELESS, her "remarriage" to his brother was Adultery, and John rightly Rebuked it... her response to that Rebuke tells us all we need to know about the truly evil and unrepentant state of her heart.
@@gibranlewis7300 Amen and Amen!
Remarriage is Adultery when your first spouse is still alive. Romans 7:2,3, Luke 16:18, Matthew 5:31-32, 1 Cor 6 & 7.
I have read portions of the bible before and don't recall the verse based on the sin of remarriage. Nor I remember if I've ever read it. I have committed adultery and in my first marriage we used the body for pleasure. After baptism I felt cleansed but committed to adultery again when I was looking for a new relationship. I pray the Lord for forgiveness and also pray for the woman with whom I was. The unholy relationship of pleasing the body dragged on me til recently. My wife and I have been in a healthy marriage. I was back into the world when I married her. But never one day I've forgotten my life belongs to Jesus. I remember the Lord's sayings- for every sins we committed there will be good after repentance. I am a lot stronger now. These last few days the Lord has sent me so many warnings to repent my sins and get back to follow Jesus. I have never felt such powers in me as I do now. I thank God for everything he's done for us to get us together to this day for He is gathering his children before His return. Let's maintain what we have, where we are and who we're with and pray for them in the name of Jesus. I have been prepared enough through my life and today I have never felt so closer to God spiritually than before. In Jesus name I will continue praying for more of our brothers and sisters to commit themselves for the time is real close. It's an emergency state that they know Jesus is coming for us. Amen.
thank you for reading
Yes it is if you have a living spouse
This answer is 100% correct! Most people don't marry the person that God intended for them. What about the marriages in scripture that God hated (Ezra 9)? I was molested by my ex-step dad for years and when my mom went to the church, they told her to stay with him and the abuse continued. They misused the scriptures. Remarriage in the old testament was not considered adultery. Now it is and it must be repented of. It's amazing how this is the only sin that people will tell others that they need to "undo" and not lay at the cross or seek God about. How do you unkill someone or unsteal something or untell and confess every lie you've ever told? If we really want to get scriptural let's talk about how marriage is consummated by sex. Read about in the story of Jacob. So technically, if you've had more than one sexual partner, you've bonded yourself spiritually to all of those individuals in "marriage".
The woman at the well five husbands and one unmarried
Did jesus rebuke
No he had a more important message
Did jesus deny peter when he denied
Thrice
Yet he said he who denies me I will deny him
There are exceptions to the rule
Even david was still saved after his sin!
I'm thinking i will just stay unmarried. Im 36 and i dont want a woman who has been divorced. Of course i would love to find a wife, but it seems almost impossible to find a woman that hasn't been divorced that is around my age. Im getting too old to be chasing younger women now
@NathanStone87 Wise self-insights.
Perhaps better for you if you don’t have lust problems
This man is a liar. If you are the 1st husband to your 1st wife, she is yours until death do you part. The new relationship is not marriage but adultery as long as you are in that relationship. You must repent of and forsake that relationship, remain unmarried or reconcile to your covenant spouse.
It is all gender specific and specific to believers/or a believer with an unbeliever that stays. When they are both unbelievers they are unsanctified and even the children are unholy, as Paul says in I Corinthians 7. Does that sound like it is joined by God? No. Marriage is a picture of Christ and the church not Christ and the world.
@@seiliwennam when was the marriage covenant established, in the beginning correct? Do Adam and Eve represent believers or all of mankind? Is it just believers that received the curse or all of mankind? Jesus nor Paul ever limits the marriage covenant God establishes between believers only.
Yes, Adam and Eve were believers and they were even sinless in the beginning. They were virgins who knew God and wed for life. Is that an ideal that most live up to?
Paul does tell us. He says that when one becomes a believer in a marriage then the marriage is sanctified. What was it before? It says their children are now holy. What were they before?
Where do see God making covenants with unbelievers? Only when there is a believer in the mix who has made a bad choice. The Bible even says in John 9 that God doesn’t even hear the prayers of sinners.
@@seiliwennam where does this say their marriage isn't marriage? Where does this say they are fornicating and need to repent and go their separate ways or get married? since one is a believer and the others not wouldn't they be unequally yoked and we'retold not to be? Jesus says WHOSOEVER divorces his wife, whosoever encompassing mankind as a whole not limited to believers as was in the garden Adam literally meaning mankind. Covenant of marriage established for all of mankind
When did I say a marriage isn’t marriage?! You do realize that Jesus also used the word marries about adultery?? Yes, there are man’s covenants. One can get married and have children and it’s not joined by God which is what we see in I Corinthians 7 when Paul says that even the children were unholy.
Do you say we must all follow betrothal? Why not? Is it not written to everyone?
Do you say that women must be virgins or widows to not sin if they marry? Why not? Aren’t those the only women that Paul said could marry and not sin in I Corinthians 7?
There are tons of people on here that do nothing but put stumbling blocks in front of Christians and make it harder for them to get to heaven. They are acting no different than the Pharisees. They are religious and can’t even keep the laws they make for others to abide by to get to heaven. Ladies and Gentlemen Jesus brought Grace. Grace isn’t a license to sin but you do not have to earn it or it would never be Grace.
Brother Dustin the same people saying remarriage is adultery forget that Jesus also says that if you look at anyone lustfully commits adultery. Everyone has done that at some point in their lives so everyone has struggled with adultery.
Jesus brought grace and He is also the same one that said divorce and remarriage is adultery. Those are His words. See Mark 10:1-12 and Luke 16:18.
Scripture clearly teaches anyone who divorces and remarries while their covenant spouse is still living (with the exception of fornication) is an adulterer or adulteress (Matthew 5:31-32; Matthew 19:3-9; Mark 10:2-12; Luke 16:18; Romans 7:2-3; 1 Corinthians 7:10-15; 1 Corinthians 7:39).
Additionally, scripture clearly teaches in order to receive God's mercy one must repent or they won't inherit the kingdom of Heaven (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Luke 13:3).
God saves anyone who genuinely repents. Repentance has two elements: Confessing AND forsaking our sins.
Proverbs 28:13, says: "He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses AND forsakes them will have mercy."
Remaining in an adulterous remarriage is not repentance.
The liar has to repent and stop lying; the thief has to repent and stop stealing; the homosexuals have to repent and stop committing homosexual acts; and the adulterers and adulteresses (including those in adulterous remarriages) must repent and stop committing adultery.
Sharing the scriptural truth about divorce and remarriage infuriates people who are supposed to be followers of Christ. Jesus's words regarding this issue anger his alleged followers like no other topic. Perhaps, it's time to obey Jesus Christ, and to begin believing He means what He says.
Most importantly, ALL sins are unforgivable without repentance...including remaining in adulterous remarriages. According to the clear, easy to understand words of scripture: Jesus most definitely sends unrepentant adulterers and adulteresses to hell.
Baloney. We are telling you things you don't want to hear so as to make your chances of going to heaven greater. You commit adultery if you create a false but legal second marriage while your first wife lives. That's God's law. Deal with it and stop whining about people being mean to you.
Yea but when you sin you must confess AND TURN AWAY from your SINS!
@La-bq6jj Amen.🙏
The bible is clear, that divorcing a spouse and then remarrying is adultery. I expect that all of you have adjusted your soul winning technique's as you are going door to door, spreading the good news. Step one, knock on the door. Step 2 Ask them if they died today, would they go to heaven? Step 3, find out if they are divorced and remarried... if yes, call them a perpetual adulterer and tell them they must divorce their current spouse in order to surely make it to heaven. Step 4. If you feel like it also share the gospel. Explain how Jesus died for the sins of the world....well, all except the one that your currently living in.
I know I am being a bit facetious. But I am interested in what the responses would be. Do you withhold this information, just to get them "kind of saved"? Then when they show up to church, hit them with the rest, admitting that they are probably still going to hell? How do you introduce the gospel to someone in this category? To me it would not be loving to leave out something that could damn them to hell. How does your church do it?
Again, there is no debate that divorcing and remarriage is a sin. The debate I see is centered around whether or not it's perpetual sin and what repentance looks like. It also crosses over into "grace based salvation" (Jesus's sacrifice alone) or "works base salvation" (Jesus's sacrifice + what I do). Then it crosses into "eternal salvation" (Can't lose your salvation) and "the need for salvation daily" (Can lose salvation, but can also get it back if you do XYZ). These are BIG debates going on right now.
Just an interesting side note. Jesus says to the woman at the well (who had 5 husbands and the one she was currently with was not her husband). John 4:10If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
It's just interesting to me that before pointing out that she has been married 5 times (Jesus uses the word husbands so I am assuming) he would have given her "living water" if she only asked. Nothing about straightening up her life, and undoing the tangled web of sin. She just needed to ask for it. For those who doubt what living waters is, it's explained in John 7:37-39 (The Holy Ghost). From my understanding the Holy Ghost is evidence of eternal salvation... maybe there are differing opinions? Why is Jesus offering salvation without asking for evidence of "repentance"? These are merely questions I have.
I feel like I need to put a disclaimer here: AGAIN I AM NOT ARGUING THAT DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE IS OK. IT'S NOT. DONT DO IT.
Wrong
Hear what the Spirit of God says....please. " Behold I have set before thee Life and Death...choose Life" . So Repent (turn around).
Thank God there are those that really inquire to know God's will...that's the moving of His Spirit because you are His child. Please fast, pray, seek God's face and be willing to obey. Your reward is eternity my Sisters and Brothers.
Hosea 3:1 & 4
Acts 10:43
Marriage is an institution which God invented for the entire human race. It is a CIVIL institution, meant for all people, not just for those who are believers. A marriage between a man and a woman is what the state says it is, civil authority being constituted by God (e.g., Rom.13:1-7). If a man or a woman is married, then that man or woman is married. If a man or a woman has not married, then they are not married. It seems ridiculous to have to say that, but videos and other fly-by-night internet "experts" make it necessary to do so.
What the Bible says about marriage in a nutshell (for scriptures, see the links):
1) Better to stay single.
2) But if you do marry, better to stay married.
3) But if you do divorce, better not to remarry.
4) But if you do remarry, better not to divorce.
The last point is usually the operative one in all such discussions, because there are actually individuals out there in cyberspace who are ACTUALLY counseling married people to divorce (because for some reason or other the marriage doesn't meet their legalistic standards). The Bible gives no excuse for divorce except for adultery, even in cases where it is clear that the two individuals involved were not concerned with what the Bible had to say about all this when they got married. Influencing people who are married to get divorced when they otherwise would not do so, especially from self-righteous motives, may not be the most evil thing in the world . . . but in my opinion it makes the top ten short-list.
Is remarriage adultery? If a man divorces his wife for no other reason than selfishness and forces her out of his house, then marries another, that ACT of remarriage is an ACT of adultery. But in the passages in question, our Lord does NOT tell the Pharisees to divorce their new partners. The wrong they have done is the wrong they have done. The sin they have committed is the sin they have committed. What about sin? Can it be forgiven? If it could not, we would all be on our way to hell. Every sin was paid for by Jesus Christ and is forgiven (in the case of believers) in the same way: confession (1Jn.1:9).
Sex outside of marriage is wrong, illicit and sinful. And believers need to deal with all sin the same way: confess to the Lord. Mind you, we never "get away" with anything. Christ paid the penalty, and we need to always keep that signal fact in mind. We are forgiven when we confess, but our Father deals with us as sons, and what father would not tan the hide of a son who did something very foolish and very dangerous? Sex outside of marriage (and porneia of all sorts) is very dangerous -- which is why we are told to "flee" it (1Cor.6:18) . . . but it is NOT "marriage". Marriage is marriage.
What Jesus said is if you divorce and remarry you are committing adultery. If Jesus recognized the remarriage as a marriage in His eyes, He would not have said the remarried persons were committing adultery. Adultery is a sin in both the old and new testaments. Anyone calling themselves a Christian, must stop sinning.
Civil authorities cannot override God's law. If they could, we could all pay them money to forgive our sins or to change what is sin into what is holy.
The passage to the Pharisees is not about new partners following a marriage. That is a misreading that ignores what Jesus Says in Mark and in Luke, and also ignores the entire preaching oJohn The Baptist against Herodias. Preach!!! God Doesn't Honor Explicit, Definitive Sin. He Wouldn't Have Said It's Adultery if it was negotiable. It doesn't magically cease being Adultery after demonic vows are spoken, no more than it would cease to be Adultery if done in secret, with no vows, behind the back of a Spouse one was still living with. To say otherwise is like saying theft ceases to be theft if you can manage to get your neighbour's property out of his house and into your own. Yahweh El Elyon Presented The Example Via Hosea & Gomer, And Yeshua Jesus The Christ Mightily Reaffirmed This. Herodias was an Adulteress, even if her original husband was disreputable. If a "divorce" isn't Scriptural, it isn't recognized by God. These debates have happened since before St. Augustine's time, and his view on it was categorical, as was that of our Lord Yeshua Jesus Christ. A troubled relationship can be a valid reason for a spouse distancing, even distancing via moving out, from the other spouse, but always with the Prayer for and spirit for Reconciliation. If the spouse goes from distancing for whatever form of rehabilitation, and goes from creating space to forming new relationships with other people, that is Adultery: it doesn't matter whether they call themselves "divorced" or anything of the sort, it and any subsequent relationships are Adulteries. Consider John The Baptist and the wicked Herodias. At no point does the Bible suggest that her 1st and true Husband was a good person: indeed, all we know about that family suggests he was certainly wicked, NEVERTHELESS, her "remarriage" to his brother was Adultery, and John rightly Rebuked it... her response to that Rebuke tells us all we need to know about the truly evil and unrepentant state of her heart.
Romans 4:13-25 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Promise Granted Through Faith
13 For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect, 15 because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.
16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be [a]sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all 17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed-God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, 24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
And than and only than will you have real peace.....🙏
Remarriage was graciously allowed for women put away by their husbands (Deut. 24:2). Unfortunately there was an unintentional consequence even for them. But we have every reason for practical purposes to discriminate between the innocent and guilty parties of divorce!! That’s because Jesus does exactly that. Jesus indicts the men of that Patriarchal society with the culpability of their former wives transgression (Matthew 5:32). “causeth her to commit adultery” (KJV) or “makes her the victim of adultery” (NIV) is an indictment against the former husband. The former husband CAUSED her to commit adultery in the manner Jesus described. Do you understand where Jesus places the blame for this way of committing adultery?
When Deut 24 is properly understood God prohibited the men of that Patriarchal society from reconciling with their former wives because they were the one’s responsible for her being defiled in the second marriage (v.4). By divorcing their wives they were releasing them to marry another. From a congruent knowledge of Moses and Jesus’ teaching you should be able to determine that divorce and remarriage caused both a transgression and a transference of marital obligation. One marriage ended and another one was constituted. Therefore marital obligations were transferred to the present spouse. Divorce and remarriage supplanted one spouse for another. This is the context for Jesus' teaching on the matter.
Don't follow someone who tells you more divorce is God's will for you!! Honor your present marriage. It is never referred to as an "adulterous relationship" in God's Word. Jesus reminded his covenant people Israel that divorce caused remarriage to cause them to commit adultery. Yes, there was a negative consequence to terminating the first marriage, that was Jesus' point. He gave them a reason to stay married, but He nor anyone else in scripture required the present marriage be dissolved. That is the remedy of a legalistic thinker. One who doesn't look to biblical history where remarriage resulted in a binding marriage, but rather makes up a new requirement based on the false teaching that the first marriage really wasn't dissolved. That just happens to be the very opposite of what Jesus said.
The fact that this way of committing adultery was the inadvertent consequence of divorcing one spouse and marrying another did not changed the fact that divorce and remarriage were effective events in God's Word. After remarriage a woman was responsible to her present husband, not her former. Her former husband was not allowed to reconcile with her (Deut. 24:4). In God's Word remarriage had both legal and moral obligations. It resulted in a subsequent covenant of marriage to which those who entered where bound. The point I’m making is remarriage resulted in a moral obligation of faithfulness to the present husband/wife. No one but Moses gave instruction to an “after remarriage” circumstance, understand?
Don't follow those who make up a new requirement for repentance. While terminating one marriage and constituting another inadvertently causes one to be unfaithful to their former spouse as Jesus taught (Mark 10:11), the second marriage was none the less a binding marriage in God's Word. Unfaithfulness to the present spouse only results in MORE unfaithfulness. Read Moses and Jesus' teaching congruous, not as if Jesus opposed Moses.

I don't interpret Jesus and Moses contradictory as you seem to in order to draw your imaginary suppositions. Secondly everyone that uses the Herod and Herodias example (like you're doing) don't even know the actual law that John the Baptist rebuked then for!!!
Please prove you know the actual law by referring to it.
@@nealdoster8556 "Moses gave you this precept because of the hardness of your hearts": Our Lord Yeshua ( Jesus ) Christ. He Doesn't Say "God gave you this precept", He Says Moses gave it. Moses relayed the Laws Of God, but not with The Perfect Understanding Of Christ The Messiah. And I know exactly what law John was Rebuking and it WASN'T the "not marry your brother's wife" part, because that in itself is still an Adultery reference, just remphasized relating to families: we know this because men were actually REQUIRED to marry the wives of their brother if their brother died and left no children and left a widow who was still of childbearing age ( Onan wasn't punished for "masturbating", he was punished for withdrawing from his brother's widow in disobedience to God and refusing to give her his seed for the continuing of his brother's household ). Thus, it wouldn't make any sense for John to critique Herodias just on the basis of, "they''re brothers": had the other brother been dead, it wouldn't have mattered, and indeed Herod would have had an obligation to wed Herodias. But the brother, the Original Husband, lived, and so the relationship was Adultery and made more offensive by the fact that it was Adultery against a literal brother. "It is against God's Law for you to be having your brother's Wife", present tense, as in she was still the Wife of the other brother and original Husband In God's Sight: the same would have been true had he not been Herod's brother. See also the Word Through The Prophet Malachi : " The Lord Was Witness To your Covenant with the Wife of your youth, with whom you have dealt treacherously. YET she is thy Wife". One of the meanings of yet, as translated, is still. She IS thy Wife, not she "was" thy Wife.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Your interpretation has Jesus against the law of Moses which Jesus made sure no one understood Him to be against. Secondly the seed was given to a dead brothers wife, not a brother who was still alive (which Philip was). Thirdly you DIDN'T share the law Herod broke according to John, so please do so without making one up again.
Fourthly, It always amazes me that individuals from your camp ALWAYS have to use a verse of scripture where SUPPOSELY it's saying the first marriage didn't end. We're supposed to read that INTO the text so we can claim it's there by using our imagination. Even at the expense of other verses where divorce terminates the relationship. So please share with any readership where the inspired writer is directly making the argument that divorce does not end a marriage. Can you find one passage where it is actually making that claim (without having to liberally interject it INTO the text?
Your argument isn't persuasive, it has way to many contradiction to what is actually TRUE in God's Word. Blessings

Everyone needs to go back and undo all the sin they committed then. Because if they don’t then everyone will go to hell. Basically all the people saying go and divorce your second wife and remarry your first wife is saying that God’s Grace doesn’t cover all sin. Only the ones you go back and fix. Which means then it isn’t grace but works that saves you.
We need to repent and turn away from whatever sin we've repented of. For example if one gets saved and was once in a same sex relationship which is against God's law, would you not expect that person to stop their homosexual behaviour? It's the same with adulterous marriage. All the time that you are in that relationship even after repentance, you are still living in sexual sin. Romans 6:1 says "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?" God forbid...
Anton Lever that would be incorrect. King David remained in his marriage to Bathsheba because he made a covenant with God when he married her. If he were to have divorced her he would be committing another sin of divorce which in turn would cause her to commit adultery if she remarried. His repentance never included him to divorce Bathsheba. I see that you have a wrong view of repentance. God never honors a marriage between a homosexual couple so that isn’t comparing apples to apples.
Exactly, funny how God didn't command David to divorce Bathsheba....

Satan is very deceptive
Jesus offers NO EXCEPTIONS on divorce and remarriage
....
Did you know the Book of Matthew was circulated among the Jews and the Book of Mark and Luke was circulated among the Gentiles
In The Book of Mark and Luke Jesus offers no exception whatsoever
In the Book of Matthew Jesus said that a Jewish man who is betrothed to a virgin and if he finds out she's not a virgin "before" they're married he can put her away. This is why he used the term "fornication".
....
Also if you're relying on a modern translation of the Bible you are being deceived by Satan
Did you know the NIV Bible has omitted so many scripture that it's enough to fill 33 small books of the Bible. Did you know places in the NIV that were omitted dealt with worshipping Jesus Christ the blood of Jesus and very important scriptures. Did you know the same company that prints the NIV Bible and most modern Bible translations also produces the Satanic Bible. It comes from the SAME company FACT.
Did you know that ALL PASTORS allowing divorce and remarriage COMPLETELY IGNORE the book of Mark and the book of Luke were Jesud offers NO EXCEPTIONS.
Don't die in your sins
Repent and leave the adulturous affair
Your remarriage is in fact Adultury
Repent of this adultury
Did you know the scripture says what God has joined together no man can put asunder
When you made a covenant till death do you part to the person that was never marry your first wife or husband the GOD recorded your covanant in heaven and joined you as ONE FLESH. No "man" can undo this ONE FLESH that God performed in Heaven.
Jesus said, many will say unto me Lord Lord and Jesus said He will say Depart from me, you worker of iniquity.
The word of God is not popular today and man has tried to redefine God's word for centuries
God defines a marriage as a man with one or more wives (provided each wife has never been married or is widowed)
God will not allow a man to divorce his wife and marry another woman because the man is symbolic of God and the wife is symbolic of isreal.

If the man he just advised takes his false teaching and dies in adultery this "Bible Answer MAn" will be held accountable by God on Judgement day. This world is full of false prophets. If you divorce and remarry you commit adultery and as long as you remain in that unsanctioned false marriage you live in a perpetual state of adultery. If you die in that second marriage while your first living spouse is still alive...to HELL you will go.
It absolutely is unless the first spouse is dead
You must take all scripture together
There is NO divorce clause
It’s misrepresented scripture
In Matthew it’s speaking of pornia or fornication an UNMARRIED sin
If a women or man committed ADULTERY back then they were stoned to death you certainly wouldn’t need a bill of divorcement
Fornication during betrothal was the only so called “exception”
When you give your life to God he forgives and forgets your divorce and all your sins because you become a new person in Christ. You have a new beginning. Then If you get married again you should not get divorced because you know that it would not be right in God's eyes. You can be separated but can not get married again until your husband dies.
No. Uriah was a Hittite, and God Was Wrathful on his behalf, even against David The King. God Does Forgive, but the divorce isn't the Sin, the Adulterous "remarriage" is the Sin. God Doesn't Honor Explicit, Definitive Sin. He Wouldn't Have Said It's Adultery if it was negotiable. It doesn't magically cease being Adultery after demonic vows are spoken, no more than it would cease to be Adultery if done in secret, with no vows, behind the back of a Spouse one was still living with. To say otherwise is like saying theft ceases to be theft if you can manage to get your neighbour's property out of his house and into your own. Yahweh El Elyon Presented The Example Via Hosea & Gomer, And Yeshua Jesus The Christ Mightily Reaffirmed This. Herodias was an Adulteress, even if her original husband was disreputable. If a "divorce" isn't Scriptural, it isn't recognized by God. These debates have happened since before St. Augustine's time, and his view on it was categorical, as was that of our Lord Yeshua Jesus Christ. A troubled relationship can be a valid reason for a spouse distancing, even distancing via moving out, from the other spouse, but always with the Prayer for and spirit for Reconciliation. If the spouse goes from distancing for whatever form of rehabilitation, and goes from creating space to forming new relationships with other people, that is Adultery: it doesn't matter whether they call themselves "divorced" or anything of the sort, it and any subsequent relationships are Adulteries. Consider John The Baptist and the wicked Herodias. At no point does the Bible suggest that her 1st and true Husband was a good person: indeed, all we know about that family suggests he was certainly wicked, NEVERTHELESS, her "remarriage" to his brother was Adultery, and John rightly Rebuked it... her response to that Rebuke tells us all we need to know about the truly evil and unrepentant state of her heart.

@@angelmd43 The divorce isn't the Sin, Angela, the Adultery one commits after the divorce is the Sin. Marriage is not for Christian's only. Recall what Joseph said to Potiphar's Wife. Recall the wrath of God, even against his beloved David, for the Adultery committed against Uriah the Hittite. God Created Marriage For ALL People. When Yeshua ( Jesus ) Christ Says the "remarrying" Spouse Commits Adultery, He Uses the terms man, woman, Husband and Wife: He does NOT qualify "believing Spouse", nor "believer", nor "brother" nor "sister", terms He Uses To Distinguish The Faithful from heathens in other areas. Marriage is NOT a Sin, Thus Becoming New In Christ DOES NOT erase your Original Marriage!!! It CAN erase the Sins of Adultery you have committed against God and your Original Spouse, but you have to STOP the Adultery: a subsequent "marriage" is NOT valid while the Original Spouse lives, otherwise Jesus wouldn't have Commented On The Subject in the first place. John The Baptist didn't tell Herod and Herodias "repent of your past Sins, follow Christ, and enjoy your sex together", he Declared "It Is Against God's Law for you to be having ( present tense ) your brother's Wife ( also present tense )." What you are suggesting is equivalent to saying I can go steal someone's car, give my life to Christ while driving away in it, and then keep it because "I'm new, so the robbery "didn't" happen."
LIAR
It's very hard to find a pastor that can actually answer this question!
look up pastor Gino Jennings on TH-cam
No he doesn't give the full picture only for his likeness
@@ferghussmith1759 look up the BIBLE....NOT GINO. It is already written.
Many pastors aren’t going to teach the truth on this subject because many of them are in the sin of adultery themselves and half of their congregation. They are appealing to the flesh of men rather than the truth of God. This is just another teaching that will lead many people to be deceived in the Great Falling Away.
Permission to divorce is not permission to remarry!
I know what this caller is up to because the same thing happened to me and I can hear it in his voice.
His wife is divorcing him and whether he remarries or not, he is relegated to live out a life in adulterous guilt and shame even though he didn't want the divorce at all.
One more woman or 100 more women it doesnt matter. I pray in the name of Jesus to take the thoughts of wanting a relationship with a woman and the desire for intimacy away from me for ever but it doesn't work so it just adds to my shame and that in turn adds to my sin.
Its hopeless bro I'm sorry
Pray for the wife's repentance.
does someone who divorce an exampke of forgiveness. ? NO. THEN SHE OR HE REMARRIES THEN ASKS God to forgive them. HANK YOU ARE VERY WRONG IN THIS DISCERNMENT ONLY DEATH BREAKS A VOW...PERIOD
This teaching is pure and simple heresy. As a confessing Christian, if you get remarried for any other reason then adultery Jesus said you become and adulterer end of story. How do you confess of your sin, repent of it and then take up a lifestyle of sin knowingly that causes you to repeat it over and over. It's no different than any other sin in the way that you commit it, repent and not repeat it. Can you truly repent of a sin you willingly commit to doing as a lifestyle choice? I think not!
Jesus said if you do this you are an adulterer and the word says there will be no adulterer's in heaven. Old age like this man does not mean wisdom so for your sake, believe Jesus not him.
Is there more grace for murder ( and remain in an adulterous marriage like King David) than remarriage? Should the innocent spouse wait in hopes that their cheating/ abusive ex spouse dies or get killed? Is the innocent spouse condemned by the other spouses’ sin? Is not God, Love? Did He not come to give us life more abundantly? Are we not under Grace? Has God put every marriage together? Does God have a covenant with unbelievers?
I think many of you need to know the God that you say you serve. Too many making up their own laws and interpretation of scriptures and condemning others. This is what Religion, Legalism and Lack of Old and New Testament Context, does. I Thank God for a relationship with Christ and the indwelling of the HolyGhost, and trust no man’s opinions!
If a robber kills someone, but is then immediately shot dead after turning the gun on those attempting to arrest him, will he be forgiven without repentance? Not according to the scriptures. If you steal something from someone, and ask for forgiveness but keep what you have taken, how are you not still a thief? The same applies to adultery.
This is why the church is in the state that it’s in.. this is not bible repentance.. God does not honor a second marriage if the covenant spouse is alive. God never breaks a covenant and neither does adultery.. in the Old Testament you would have been stoned for adultery. No you cannot unscramble eggs and neither can you be joined to someone else while the first spouse is still alive.. please read 1 Corinthians 7
You literally did not answer his question at all
If you believe a person has to divorce their spouse from their second marriage to be saved then these same people have to ask themselves have they had sex outside of marriage? Are they married to the first person they had sex with? If not then they must divorce their spouse and remarry the first person they had sex with. As long as that person hasn’t had sex again with someone else. If so then they must divorce their current spouse and remain in a state of celibacy. Because when you have sex for the first time you become one with that person. That’s what the Bible says. Let me put it this way. Paul says we have died to the law and no longer remain a slave to it. That isn’t a license to sin but it means you are under Grace not under the Law.
Why was John the Baptist beheaded? Perhaps if Herod had told John “… you can’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again and I repented” then John would have changed his mind and said “Oh, then that’s ok, I was wrong, it IS lawful fro you to have your brother Philip’s wife.” Hank, don’t rely on human logic, that detail is in the Bible for us for a simple reason, remarriage is adultery as long as the first spouse is alive. YOU will be judged for leading people astray as a teacher.
