the interesting thing about one departing is that people say, if one can not reconcile one can remarry.....the Bible offers no such option....if one can not reconcile, one can remain single...

Marriage is a covenant. Divorce does not dissolve the covenant, death does. Remarriage is ONLY for widows period. No matter what the spouse has done in the covenant marriage you can not remarried.

Amen!! Praise God for this simple, clear, and true exhortation!! Simply stating what Jesus said and taught. Not adding or omitting anything!❤️ This encouraged me in my walk with Christ!! Thank you. God bless you!!
Amen !!! I didnt know anything. God called me to stand for my marriage after my husband left. It’s been over 7 years. God told me he will restore our dead marriage. It’s hard and it means dying to yourself again and again. But God will get the glory 🙏🏼 Thank you for speaking the truth. So many are deceived about this subject
i divorced my covenant husband and remarried another. One day God opened my eyes to what I had done (Mark 10:2-12). I was the adulterer. I repented of my sin. I divorced my marriage of adultery and tried to return to my covenant husband. He never remarried. But he would not take me back. I pray that all who were divorced by their covenant spouse, that you will remain single and be like the prodigal son's father and have open arms if and when your spouse returns. Never give up.
Do not go back to your first husband. God calls that an abomination. “her first husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, since she is defiled, for that is abomination before the Lord, and you must not bring sin on the land, which the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance.” Deuteronomy 24:4 MEV
@@Mannygen That is OT. We are not living in that dispensation so all that is not right We are to reconcile or remain single. Please get out of OT AND stay in THE NT.
@@TriciaRP I agree we are under the New Law but do you think God changed His mind about it being an abomination? Please give your NT verse for reconciliation after remarriage.
@@Mannygen Actually the better answer for why you can still go back to your first lawful spouse (wife/husband) after realizing the severity of marriage covenants is because when a man discarded a bride for the sin of fornication, according to the Law (Jewish Law), God allowed that man the right to divorce her because of his expectation of her being a virgin. It was common for people to remain virgins until marriage among God's chosen people in those days, so God, in his perfect justice, acknowledged that it was fraudulent for these Jewish men to get non-virgin wives hence the permitted instantaneous divorce that Jesus made reference to. When the divorce was then issued, in God's eyes it was as though they were never married before. After the man followed through with the divorce, so as for people to not abuse the Law with the justified leeway that God granted the men, the men were also then instructed not to go back to these surprise non-virgin wives especially after knowing the full scope of their non-virgin status. People would be able to technically game the law by committing legal fornication which would then defile the land. As a preventative measure, God made it so that once the Man divorced this non-virgin he would forever be forfeiting his right to ever be her husband in the future. This scenario of the fornication clause is different from people who were lawfully married before God and then later decided to go their separate ways to go remarry other people thereby entering into an unlawful adulterous union. Unlawful adulterous union participants need to forsake their unholy unions and, if possible, return to their first lawful spouses. David was someone, even in the Old Testament, who reclaimed Michal who was his lawful spouse even though she had remarried someone else. Michal was in an adulterous relationship at the time because David was her lawful husband.
@@Mannygen Yes. It is called FORGIVENESS. YOU ARE TO GO BACK TO YOUR FIRST SPOUSE. It is not an abomination if in the NT they tell you to go BACK AND RECONCILE. Why are you using OT LAWS To Tell someone the truth of Now? You are not rightly dividing the word of God and PLEASE DON'T TELL another soul this MESS. PLEASE DON'T try to teach anyone about Marriage if you are that COOKOO
Thank you for your message and yes I believe you are correct as a divorcee living in a sinful relationship I need to leave this relationship. And the bible is very clear that I need to live life as a single person unless God wishes I reconcile with my covenant wife . I very much appreciate that you do include the bible verses so as I can study them myself. As I try to talk to some believers that are remarried I do notice that they do not like to discuss this topic and do seem to be on the verge of anger if I were not to drop it. It’s not that I wish to upset them but to open their hearts to what I see as the correct interpretation of the scriptures which is why I see so many churches try to whitewash the subject of divorce and remarriage.
Of course they get upset, by implication you would calling them adulterers, when they might not be adulterers. You seem to believe that DIVORCE is the unpardonable sin. If a SINNER has DIVORCE on his/her record and comes to saving faith in Jesus, their " Therefore, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; behold, ALL THINGS have become new. OH, all things except that divorce you had, even though God considers you a new creation, the sin of DIVORCE still remains!!...it's absolute ABSURDITY, with ZERO biblical common sense or scripture to support. Mathew 19:8,9, Jesus was rebuking the pharisees for an allowance for divorce for ANY REASON. This was a refutation to what they were doing, this was NOT a " one size fits all " passage for divorce and remarriage. Your going to destroy your life and someone else's because of your lack of understanding and discernment. It's absolutely tragic.
thesin of adulteryremins not divorce. So what if one spouse is a believer and the other is not does the believer go through life without their companion? Jesus used fornication in matthew and no where else. If you are a new creation then you would have t get remnarried. Are your kis stoll yours? Can a homosexual couple get t stay married. Do murders get to continue murdering? Ypu have to repent and turn away from the adulterous relationships and reconcile. How do ypu now when yoire saved,? Just simply accepting jesus and getting dunked? What aboit repentance? Such were some of you.
Remarriage while your original spouse is alive (if you were their original spouse) is adultery. Repentance requires STOPPING THE SIN and SINNING NO MORE - thus getting out of the adulterous remarriage. We would not say a homosexual marriage is okay if they continue to stay married, neither is an adulterous remarriage okay by staying in it. This is how God feels about divorce: "And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the Lord , the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord , and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?" Malachi 2:13-17 KJV Only the book of Matthew contains the "except for fornication" permission to divorce, as only the book of Matthew was specifically written for the Jews and the Jewish culture understood that this "fornication" meant sexual unfaithfulness in the betrothal/engagement period (not after the marriage was consummated by sexual union between the husband and wife). An example of this is shown where Joseph wanted to DIVORCE the mother of Jesus, Mary, before they had consummated their marriage as it appeared that she had been unfaithful as she was pregnant prior to having sex with Joseph. "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together (sexually), she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS." - Matthew 1:18-25 KJV (Jesus speaking) "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication (the Greek word "porneia"), causeth her to commit adultery (the Greek word "moicheia") and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." - Matthew 5:31-32 KJV (Jesus speaking) "I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." - Matthew 19:9 KJV Note no fornication clause in the rest of the gospels, because it was specifically written to the gentiles which did not have the strict betrothal customs like the Jews: (Jesus speaking) "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." - Luke 16:18 KJV (Jesus speaking) "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." - Mark 10:11-12 KJV The ONLY permission for remarriage is the death of the original spouse: (Paul speaking) "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." - Romans 7:2-3 KJV Lastly, abandonment by a spouse does not allow remarriage to another. You must either reconcile or stay unmarried. (Paul speaking) "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. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage (to perform the marital duties - this does not allow remarriage) in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" - 1 Corinthians 7:10-16 KJV John the Baptist took the divorce and remarriage adultery so serious, that he lost his head over it via decapitation by Herod: "But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife." Mark 6:16-18 KJV Of all the laws in the Old Testament, Paul emphasized only four - and abstaining from sexual immorality (which is what remarriage is while your original spouse is alive) is one of them: (Paul speaking) "For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well." Acts 15:28-29 KJV Having children in an adulterous remarriage does not make it any less important to exit that adulterous remarriage as shown in Ezra 10 where they the people had to repent (stop being a part of) unlawful marriages, some of which resulted in offspring ("All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children." Ezra 10:44 KJV). Staying in an adulterous remarriage can take you to hell: (Paul speaking) "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV
In Jeremiah 3 God is directly referring to Deuteronomy 24 - it is referring to God putting Israel, His wife, away. And he goes AGAINST Deut. 24 and tells her to come back to Him - even after she then "becomes another man's": 'They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the Lord .' Jeremiah 3:1 KJV In the SAME chapter, God gives her a bill of DIVORCE: "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." Jeremiah 3:8 KJV Still in the same chapter, AFTER God has given her a bill of divorce, He states that he is STILL married to her - the bill of divorce therefore did not nullify their marriage: "Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord ; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:" Jeremiah 3:14 KJV Jeremiah 3 shows that God is not following Deuteronomy 24's divorce law - because He does not have a hard heart. That law applied to the Israelites, who had hard hearts, under Moses' leadership. Jesus also says that this law in Deuteronomy 24 was given for those under Moses due to their hard hearts. He clearly says that He does not give us that permission - we are not to have hard hearts, but we are to forgive our husbands/wives and wait for them to repent and reconcile with them when they sin against us. "He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." Matthew 19:8-9 KJV "Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.” Matthew 18:21-35 NKJV (note that this chapter is the chapter directly before Jesus' teaching of divorce due to hardness of heart) Praise God that He does not divorce us and marry another. When He puts us away or divorces us, He waits for us to repent and reconcile with Him. Praise God that His heart is not hard. Beg God to give you a heart of flesh to forgive your covenant husband/wife, 490 times (seventy times seven times), lest He not forgive you on Judgment Day for your trespasses against Him, which I assure you are much, much greater than 490. Divorce with adulterous remarriage is for the hard hearted. Woe to you if you are counted amongst the hard hearted on Judgment Day: "But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;" Romans 2:5 KJV A hard heart is evidence that the Spirit of God is not in that person: "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26 KJV
" Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife. But even if you do marry, you have not sinned..." 1 Corin. 7:27,28 Not every marriage that sinners are united in were " God joined together". So a wicked sinner who has a divorce in his/her past, amongst a multitude of sins, repents and becomes born again....his divorce is not forgiven? He is not a " new creation "? " old ways have passed all things have become new"? Not every situation is the same and the Lord weighs the motive.
Thank u so much for stsnding for the truth. So many people do not. Ecpect to have commentd to refute this truth. HOWEVER ler man be made a liar and let the Word ofnGod be true. God bless you Sir.

God is so faithful.your message is the heavenly truth and my heart is so grief for many are falling into the pits from people who are teaching another gospel. God bless you. Continue to Serve and speak this truth and I am doing the same as the Lord is so faithful to deliver
well the good thing, here is that you dont equivocate on the end result.....it is a sin and needs to be vacated.....by leaving that adulterous relationship....
Great message, scripturally clear and to the point. Thank you for being brave to tell the truth that only death breaks the 1 flesh Covenant marriage, all others are adulterous with false pastors encouragement and approval..
Please don’t be scared to be married. God loves for his children to be married and populate the earth. This is why it’s important to be married to a Godly spouse. Pray to God that you will never have any hard heartedness towards your spouse and that your spouse will never have any hard heartedness towards you. Marriage is a beautiful thing. It is society who make it out to seem terrible. None of us will ever be perfect. That’s why love is an action word. It’s not just something you say, but something you choose to do daily. Even if you may be at odds with your spouse. And even then, be quick to reconcile with one another.
This I tell you, you have done well stick to this teaching and no other. I have lot to say to support this belief but I hate texting lol. Wish we could speak outside of this brother as a man who is hurting I understand suffering for christ
This sounds scriptural. But we know there are several cases which puts us on the side of the victim and we tend to say it’s ok if this guy remarries or this woman remarry out of compassion for the victims. However the word of God is taken as is. No buts and No ifs. We trespas the law of God and we are guilty and we should ask for forgiveness and repent of our sins.
@@philipbuckley759 If one is in what God deems as an adulterous remarriage, one is married only in the eyes of the State not of God. Divorcing from the adulterous remarriage in the eyes of the State is repenting in the eyes of God. Forsaking and turning from sin.
This is a teaching that is hard to receive as the Bible stated it would be and for good reason. So many Christian’s are in this situation of the second marriage churches are full of these adulterous remarriages. I’ve confronted a few over this issue and it’s like they just don’t believe the word as it is written and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to help them to understand this. Pastors will never teach on this in any main line denominational church yep all of them. Most of those I’ve confronted on this say we’ll God forgives and my answer is not while you are committing the sin there is no forgiveness for willful sin. When confronting people about this sin be ready to make enemies fast and you’ll also have to have nothing to do with these people after they’ve been warned.
You are correct, and I’ve had people(“Christians”) separate from me over this. And likewise I know that if a brother is named a adulterer or fornicator I can’t even eat with such a one. We certainly couldn’t give someone communion in that condition, and if they refused to repent of a sinful relationship would not welcome them into the congregation
Malachi 2:13-17 'And this is the second thing you do: You cover the altar of the Lord with tears, With weeping and crying; So He does not regard the offering anymore, Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands. Yet you say, “For what reason?” Because THE LORD HAS BEEN A WITNESS BETWEEN YOU AND *THE WIFE OF YOUR YOUTH* (Not new wife or 2nd wife; the wife of your YOUTH!), With whom you have dealt treacherously; Yet SHE IS YOUR COMPANION AND WIFE BY *****COVENANT*****!!!. BUT DID HE NOT MAKE MAKE THEM ONE!!? HAVING REMNANT OF THE SPIRIT? And WHY ONE? HE SEEKS GODLY OFFSPRING!!!!! Therefore TAKE HEED to your spirit, And let none deal treacherously with THE wife of his youth. “FOR THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL HATES DIVORCE, FOR IT COVERS ONES GARMENT WITH ***VIOLENCE***,” Says the Lord of hosts. “Therefore TAKE HEED to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously.” You have wearied the Lord with your words; Yet you say, “In what way have we wearied Him? ” In that you say, “Everyone who does evil Is good in the sight of the Lord , And He delights in them,” Or, “Where is the God of justice?” ***Isaiah 1:15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will HIDE My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I WILL NOT LISTEN.

Thank you for your important video. One question I have...in Matthew 5 v 32 it uses the terms "put away" and "divorce". If they are the same thing why isn't the same word used throughout do you think? I find it rather confusing
Thanks for doing this teaching. I was told so differently by people who are leaders in the kingdom of God. They say, that God told them to remarry. The Lord opened my eyes and ears to see the truth of his words about 2 years ago. Question: Should I worship in a ministry that Pastor/Bishop believes in divorce, even though, I believe and walk in what Jesus teaches?
I would not, as the Bible tells us to not even eat with a man who is a Fornacator 1 Corinthians 5:8-11 KJV - . ⁹ I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: ¹⁰ Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. ¹¹ But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. So if the pastor is teaching that a person can be a adulterer (remarried while spouse is alive) then obviously there would be such in the congregation. But of course take it with the word of God and prayer, to be sure it is true
Remember Jesus said the only reason to divorce is fornication not adultery. Adultery takes place after the marriage and adulterers were stoned not divorced. That's what the confusion was with the Corinthians, Jesus commanded that we not divorce but if we do, remain unmarried or be reconciled, so they were saying what if there is a non-believer who goes by the law and wants to leave? So Paul said let them go. Sex before being married-fornication is the only reason to divorce not adultery but now we are commanded not to divorce or be reconciled.
Jesus NEVER SAID THAT. YOU ARE misinterprete and Adding to the scriptures. Jesus NEVER GAVE another the reason to REMARRY unless you are a widow. That scripture DOES NOT pertain to Married adult's. That is for financee and BETHROTHALS. KJV says NO TO REMARRY
@@TriciaRP Grace and Peace Sis. Please bless me with scriptures so I can learn if I'm in error because I was going off these scriptures Deut.24:1-4 and Matt.19:9, but I could be wrong and don't want to be in error.
@@TriciaRP First you need to learn somethings. We all are learning daily but watch this In 1COR.Chapter 7 Paul is dealing with fornication which is what the people wrote to him about. In 1COR.7:10-24 when talking to married people about fornication the topic will be divorce because Jesus made it clear the only reason to divorce is fornication (Matt.19:9). So Paul now gives us a new commandment (1COR.7:10-11) if the woman has committed fornication don't divorce her, and she should not leave but if she does she should remain unmarried or reconcile back to her husband. Why must she remain unmarried because if she is defiled she can not return to her husband (Deut.24:4). Incase you don't know sex is marriage but it's between a husband and wife. (Genesis 24:67 KJV) And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death. In 1COR.7:15 Paul is still dealing with divorce but it's an unbeliever who was taught the law every Sabbath in the synagogues and a believer in Christ who is willing to follow the new commandment of 1COR.7:10-11. The unbeliever will want to follow the law (Deut.24:1-4) and the believer won't be held in bondage so that makes them free. She will want to leave because after he finds uncleanness in her, she will no longer find favor in his eyes, and he will want to leave because of the uncleanness he has found in her. So still dealing with old Testament but Jesus made things clearer for us, now we know if a woman marries another while her husband is alive she commits adultery unless she was put away for fornication. It's best if she keeps to herself because once she is defiled she can't return to her husband.
Wish I can speak with you on this subject brother. So many people will try to convince you otherwise but they do not know mercy simply they love easy life just walk away
Yes the women jesus said would be an adulterer if anyone remarried her, was abandoned by her husband “without cause” yet Jesus said (she) would become the adulterer if anyone married her Matthew 5:32 KJVS - But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, 👉🏻causeth her 👈🏻to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery

If a man puts away his wife without cause, anyone that marries HER , causes HER to commit adultery. Notice, the husband put her away “without cause” so she was abandoned, yet being the victim does not allow her to remarry. Notice again, she was given a divorce, yet if afterward she marries,SHE is the adulterer. If someone remarries or as Jesus called it(commits adultery) after divorce, they are no longer victims but co-conspirators
1 Corinthians 7:15 15But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace. 💯Not bound. Straight from the Bible.
If you have a concordance, it’s pretty easy to clear up any misinterpretation. The word for bondage in 7:15 is not the same word used for bound in 7:27.
For bondage 1 Corinthians 7:15 Strong's Definition From G1401; to enslave (literally or figuratively): - bring into (be under) bondage X given become (make) servant. Bound 1corinthians 7:27 Phonetic Spelling deh'-o Parts of Speech Verb Strong's Definition A primary verb; to bind (in various applications literally or figuratively): - bind be in bonds knit tie wind. See also G1163 G1189 . Simply put, you are not obligated to perform wifely service if you are separated, but it does not imply you can move on to another relationship. One would have to Eisegete the text, and impose their own interpretation to gather that
Philip Buckley Romans 7:2-3 KJVS [2] For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of a her husband. [3] So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. …
Philip Buckley also it can be both. If a person commits adultery, repents and remains faithful it is a one time act. But as Jesus taught, if a person is married, the divorces , and then continues on to a different relationship then they are in perpetual adultery
@Walking In GOD'S Truth! This is the strongs definition of “law” in the verse. Strong's Definition From a primary word νέμω nemō (to parcel out especially food or grazing to animals); law (through the idea of prescriptive usage) generally (regulation) specifically (of Moses [including the volume]; also of the Gospel) or figuratively (a principle): - law. Notice it’s not just used as the law pertaining to “the law of moses” but also the gospel
@Walking In GOD'S Truth! i’ve read it. And it’s not just speaking of the law of Moses but also the gospel. As per the strongs definition that I have shared in the previous comment. It isn’t just the law of Moses that would call her an adulterous but also Jesus himself who would call her an adulterous. Jesus said you have heard it said(from Moses) But I (Jesus)tell you Anyone who marries a woman who has been divorced causes her to commit adultery
I disagree that the divorce rate in the church is just as high . The reasons are that false teachers and preachers are involved in the sin. They teach tgat adultery abuse addiction and abadonmentare reasons. Then they go further to add baptism and God's grace make it ok
fornication.....can one lock this definition, to sex, among unmarried individuals.....because sexual immorality....a vague term that one would like to use, akin to, but not described as adultery....this seems to be one of the main issues that would differentiate one who would allow remarriage, and one who would not...ala Joseph and Mary....something that happened, during the engagement period, meaning after the covenant is in place this is no longer a Biblical option, for divorce and remarriage...
First of all Jesus said don't call nobody your teacher where Jesus himself is is my teacher and second of all Jesus divorce arena marriage if the spouse is still alive is a one-way ticket to hell
I was hoping you would also include these Bible verses. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 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. 3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; 4 her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
Cry Aloud DIVORCE did NOT come from GOD or MOSES but MAN. The Hebrews learned to divorce during their 400 year plus captivity in Egypt and fine-tuned it to divorce for any cause, even for falling out of love with a wife (Deut. 24:3). God does not condone divorce for adultery, abuse, abandonment, hate or incompatibility. God's word says : “They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He (JESUS) saith unto them, >>Moses>>HARDINESS OF YOUR HEARTS>suffered>but from the beginning it was not so.”SUFFERED
@@CryAloudMinistries It's time to explain this controversial scripture that people use to say you can remarry for abandonment. 1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases : but God hath called us to peace. 1 Corinthians 7:15 doesn't mean your free to remarry, or that the person is not your spouse anymore due to abandonment. I'll tell you why. 1. It would contradict other scriptures such as 1 Corinthians 7:39 that's says your bound for life. 1 Corinthians 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. You can't have one scripture saying your bound till death, and another saying your bound until abandonment. 2. Imagine a woman abandons her husband while being a unbeliever. - imagine the abandoned husband going to a false church, where the pastor is telling him to move on. - The husband listens to the pastor and remarries. - the wife that abandoned him, later on comes to Christ, and she reads the scripture that says she must remain unmarried or go back to her husband. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 A wife must not leave her husband. But if she does leave him, let her remain single or else be reconciled to him. - she goes back to him, but only to find out he has another woman now, and now shes confused because the scripture said she could reconcile but now can't. 3. Let's imagine that it did mean the marriage was over and you were free to remarry. This would only apply to a unbeliever abandoning you, not another believer. 4. So what does 1 Corinthians 7:15 actually mean? When it says "under bondage" in 7:15 it means "enslaved" in greek. Technically this means if the unbeliever departs your not enslaved to the person anymore. Now the word "slave" in the bible also means "servant". Since God has given us duties to carry out for our spouse, we must be a servant to them. But if someone have abandoned us, how can we serve them? That's why we aren't under bondage or "enslaved" in such cases if we have been abandoned. Let's address the rest of the scripture. "but God hath called us to peace." But if the unbeliever departs, we let them depart, since God has called us to live in "peace". Why are we to allow the unbeliever to depart? Because it's unpeaceful to force them to stay with you. Hebrews 12:14 (((Follow peace with all men))), and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: How unpeaceful would it be to force an unbeliever to stay with you? Very unpeaceful! CONCLUSION: God calls us to be slaves to one another in marriage. We must serve one another. When the unbeliever abandons you, you can't be a slave/servant to that person anymore, therefore your not enslaved or "under bondage" In such cases. If the unbeliever wants to depart you let them, because it's unpeaceful forcing them to stay with you, and God has called us to peace. So It's basically saying that your free from carrying out your martial duties to that person because your abandoned. Shared.
Cry Aloud God’s word says : 1 Corinthians 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 1. This is a command from Jesus. 2. Do not leave your husband. 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 3. If you depart, stay single. 4. You can reconcile. 5. You cannot marry anyone else. 6. The husband cannot divorce his wife. 12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 1. If you are a Christian man and your covenant wife is not saved, if she wants to stay with you, stay with her. She is your covenant wife. God honors covenant marriage. Even if you are unequally yoked. 13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 1. If you are a Christian woman and your covenant husband is not saved, if he wants to stay with you, stay with him. He is your covenant husband. God honors covenant marriage. Even if you are unevenly yoked. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 15 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. If you are abandoned, let your unbelieving spouse go. You cannot forcefully serve them. God has called you to peace [not adultery]. Serve the LORD and wait for your covenant spouse, as Jesus waited for you to leave your old sinful life. Below in verse 16, PAUL STILL CALLS THE ABANDONED SPOUSE A SPOUSE. 16 For what knowest thou, O WIFE, whether thou shalt save thy HUSBAND? or how knowest thou, O MAN, whether thou shalt SAVE THY WIFE? -------- 39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. Marriage is binding till death.
I think if we hang onto Jesus' words and consider the gender specific view to what He taught, the scriptures harmonize the best. I think the pronouns matter. If we take Romans 7 for example: the woman is bound as long as her husband lives. Not the man. The teaching that Jesus gave about a man who marries her who is divorced commits adultery. But Jesus didn't say that a woman who married him who is divorced commits adultery. From what I gather from scripture it can be a legitimate marriage if a man comes out of a marriage because of the fornication of his wife to marry a woman that has never been married. Please check me on this.
Also the scripture does say you can depart, but as 1. Cor chapter 7 they are to remain unmarried or be reconciled. Coupled with Roman’s 7 it’s easily concluded that if the spouse remains alive then she’ll become an adulteress
Also considering that God is no respector of persons there is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female. Gods word applies to all unless it is dealing with senecios that themselves are gender specific “to the wives” to the husbands I say” etc.
First of all you're not a teacher Jesus the Christ is the teacher Jesus had called nobody or teacher but him prosperity can also be from Satan worship me I'll give you all of this come on people wake up to the truth discuss you get a lot of money and this and that does it mean it's from God are you reading your Bible are you reading the teachings of Jesus Christ if not you're getting your blessings from Satan
Listen to the devil speak through you. He gave you scriptures and you clearly reject the word. We are all called to be teachers spread the gospel. Do you read your bible?
the interesting thing about one departing is that people say, if one can not reconcile one can remarry.....the Bible offers no such option....if one can not reconcile, one can remain single...

Thank you for speaking the truth. So many are deceived about this subject
i divorced my covenant husband and remarried another. One day God opened my eyes to what I had done (Mark 10:2-12). I was the adulterer. I repented of my sin. I divorced my marriage of adultery and tried to return to my covenant husband. He never remarried. But he would not take me back. I pray that all who were divorced by their covenant spouse, that you will remain single and be like the prodigal son's father and have open arms if and when your spouse returns. Never give up.
Do not go back to your first husband. God calls that an abomination.
“her first husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, since she is defiled, for that is abomination before the Lord, and you must not bring sin on the land, which the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance.”
Deuteronomy 24:4 MEV
@@Mannygen That is OT. We are not living in that dispensation so all that is not right
We are to reconcile or remain single. Please get out of OT AND stay in THE NT.
@@TriciaRP I agree we are under the New Law but do you think God changed His mind about it being an abomination? Please give your NT verse for reconciliation after remarriage.
@@Mannygen Actually the better answer for why you can still go back to your first lawful spouse (wife/husband) after realizing the severity of marriage covenants is because when a man discarded a bride for the sin of fornication, according to the Law (Jewish Law), God allowed that man the right to divorce her because of his expectation of her being a virgin. It was common for people to remain virgins until marriage among God's chosen people in those days, so God, in his perfect justice, acknowledged that it was fraudulent for these Jewish men to get non-virgin wives hence the permitted instantaneous divorce that Jesus made reference to. When the divorce was then issued, in God's eyes it was as though they were never married before. After the man followed through with the divorce, so as for people to not abuse the Law with the justified leeway that God granted the men, the men were also then instructed not to go back to these surprise non-virgin wives especially after knowing the full scope of their non-virgin status. People would be able to technically game the law by committing legal fornication which would then defile the land. As a preventative measure, God made it so that once the Man divorced this non-virgin he would forever be forfeiting his right to ever be her husband in the future.
This scenario of the fornication clause is different from people who were lawfully married before God and then later decided to go their separate ways to go remarry other people thereby entering into an unlawful adulterous union. Unlawful adulterous union participants need to forsake their unholy unions and, if possible, return to their first lawful spouses. David was someone, even in the Old Testament, who reclaimed Michal who was his lawful spouse even though she had remarried someone else. Michal was in an adulterous relationship at the time because David was her lawful husband.
@@Mannygen Yes. It is called FORGIVENESS. YOU ARE TO GO BACK TO YOUR FIRST SPOUSE. It is not an abomination if in the NT they tell you to go BACK AND RECONCILE.
Why are you using OT LAWS To Tell someone the truth of Now? You are not rightly dividing the word of God and PLEASE DON'T TELL another soul this MESS. PLEASE DON'T try to teach anyone about Marriage if you are that COOKOO
Thank you for your message and yes I believe you are correct as a divorcee living in a sinful relationship I need to leave this relationship.
And the bible is very clear that I need to live life as a single person unless God wishes I reconcile with my covenant wife .
I very much appreciate that you do include the bible verses so as I can study them myself.
As I try to talk to some believers that are remarried I do notice that they do not like to discuss this topic and do seem to be on the verge of anger if I were not to drop it. It’s not that I wish to upset them but to open their hearts to what I see as the correct interpretation of the scriptures which is why I see so many churches try to whitewash the subject of divorce and remarriage.
Of course they get upset, by implication you would calling them adulterers, when they might not be adulterers. You seem to believe that DIVORCE is the unpardonable sin. If a SINNER has DIVORCE on his/her record and comes to saving faith in Jesus, their " Therefore, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; behold, ALL THINGS have become new. OH, all things except that divorce you had, even though God considers you a new creation, the sin of DIVORCE still remains!!...it's absolute ABSURDITY, with ZERO biblical common sense or scripture to support.
Mathew 19:8,9, Jesus was rebuking the pharisees for an allowance for divorce for ANY REASON. This was a refutation to what they were doing, this was NOT a " one size fits all " passage for divorce and remarriage. Your going to destroy your life and someone else's because of your lack of understanding and discernment. It's absolutely tragic.
thesin of adulteryremins not divorce. So what if one spouse is a believer and the other is not does the believer go through life without their companion? Jesus used fornication in matthew and no where else. If you are a new creation then you would have t get remnarried. Are your kis stoll yours? Can a homosexual couple get t stay married. Do murders get to continue murdering? Ypu have to repent and turn away from the adulterous relationships and reconcile. How do ypu now when yoire saved,? Just simply accepting jesus and getting dunked? What aboit repentance? Such were some of you.
Remarriage while your original spouse is alive (if you were their original spouse) is adultery. Repentance requires STOPPING THE SIN and SINNING NO MORE - thus getting out of the adulterous remarriage. We would not say a homosexual marriage is okay if they continue to stay married, neither is an adulterous remarriage okay by staying in it.
This is how God feels about divorce:
"And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the Lord , the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord , and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?"
Malachi 2:13-17 KJV
Only the book of Matthew contains the "except for fornication" permission to divorce, as only the book of Matthew was specifically written for the Jews and the Jewish culture understood that this "fornication" meant sexual unfaithfulness in the betrothal/engagement period (not after the marriage was consummated by sexual union between the husband and wife). An example of this is shown where Joseph wanted to DIVORCE the mother of Jesus, Mary, before they had consummated their marriage as it appeared that she had been unfaithful as she was pregnant prior to having sex with Joseph.
"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together (sexually), she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS." - Matthew 1:18-25 KJV
(Jesus speaking) "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication (the Greek word "porneia"), causeth her to commit adultery (the Greek word "moicheia") and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." - Matthew 5:31-32 KJV
(Jesus speaking) "I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." - Matthew 19:9 KJV
Note no fornication clause in the rest of the gospels, because it was specifically written to the gentiles which did not have the strict betrothal customs like the Jews:
(Jesus speaking) "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." - Luke 16:18 KJV
(Jesus speaking) "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." - Mark 10:11-12 KJV
The ONLY permission for remarriage is the death of the original spouse:
(Paul speaking) "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." - Romans 7:2-3 KJV
Lastly, abandonment by a spouse does not allow remarriage to another. You must either reconcile or stay unmarried.
(Paul speaking) "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. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage (to perform the marital duties - this does not allow remarriage) in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" - 1 Corinthians 7:10-16 KJV
John the Baptist took the divorce and remarriage adultery so serious, that he lost his head over it via decapitation by Herod:
"But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife."
Mark 6:16-18 KJV
Of all the laws in the Old Testament, Paul emphasized only four - and abstaining from sexual immorality (which is what remarriage is while your original spouse is alive) is one of them:
(Paul speaking) "For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well."
Acts 15:28-29 KJV
Having children in an adulterous remarriage does not make it any less important to exit that adulterous remarriage as shown in Ezra 10 where they the people had to repent (stop being a part of) unlawful marriages, some of which resulted in offspring ("All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children." Ezra 10:44 KJV).
Staying in an adulterous remarriage can take you to hell:
(Paul speaking) "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV
In Jeremiah 3 God is directly referring to Deuteronomy 24 - it is referring to God putting Israel, His wife, away. And he goes AGAINST Deut. 24 and tells her to come back to Him - even after she then "becomes another man's":
'They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the Lord .'
Jeremiah 3:1 KJV
In the SAME chapter, God gives her a bill of DIVORCE:
"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."
Jeremiah 3:8 KJV
Still in the same chapter, AFTER God has given her a bill of divorce, He states that he is STILL married to her - the bill of divorce therefore did not nullify their marriage:
"Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord ; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:"
Jeremiah 3:14 KJV
Jeremiah 3 shows that God is not following Deuteronomy 24's divorce law - because He does not have a hard heart. That law applied to the Israelites, who had hard hearts, under Moses' leadership.
Jesus also says that this law in Deuteronomy 24 was given for those under Moses due to their hard hearts. He clearly says that He does not give us that permission - we are not to have hard hearts, but we are to forgive our husbands/wives and wait for them to repent and reconcile with them when they sin against us.
"He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Matthew 19:8-9 KJV
"Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”
Matthew 18:21-35 NKJV (note that this chapter is the chapter directly before Jesus' teaching of divorce due to hardness of heart)
Praise God that He does not divorce us and marry another. When He puts us away or divorces us, He waits for us to repent and reconcile with Him. Praise God that His heart is not hard. Beg God to give you a heart of flesh to forgive your covenant husband/wife, 490 times (seventy times seven times), lest He not forgive you on Judgment Day for your trespasses against Him, which I assure you are much, much greater than 490.
Divorce with adulterous remarriage is for the hard hearted. Woe to you if you are counted amongst the hard hearted on Judgment Day:
"But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;"
Romans 2:5 KJV
A hard heart is evidence that the Spirit of God is not in that person:
"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh."
Ezekiel 36:26 KJV
Nice lay out on this. Very well done.
" Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife. But even if you do marry, you have not sinned..." 1 Corin. 7:27,28
Not every marriage that sinners are united in were " God joined together". So a wicked sinner who has a divorce in his/her past, amongst a multitude of sins, repents and becomes born again....his divorce is not forgiven? He is not a " new creation "? " old ways have passed all things have become new"? Not every situation is the same and the Lord weighs the motive.
100% facts you explained this very well.Thank you.
Thank u so much for stsnding for the truth. So many people do not. Ecpect to have commentd to refute this truth. HOWEVER ler man be made a liar and let the Word ofnGod be true. God bless you Sir.
This is really good teaching!
A widow must not be put on the list unless she HAS BEEEN a wife of ONE husband! Wow. That says a lot!
My brother you do not know how your message just landed on my phone this morning when I was waiting for God's confirmation to address a message of error. God is so faithful.your message is the heavenly truth and my heart is so grief for many are falling into the pits from people who are teaching another gospel. God bless you. Continue to Serve and speak this truth and I am doing the same as the Lord is so faithful to deliver
Yesir, thank you brother, there are a lot of folks that disagree, but it is not us they disagree with, it is God! We must continue to preach his word
well the good thing, here is that you dont equivocate on the end result.....it is a sin and needs to be vacated.....by leaving that adulterous relationship....
Great message, scripturally clear and to the point. Thank you for being brave to tell the truth that only death breaks the 1 flesh Covenant marriage, all others are adulterous with false pastors encouragement and approval..
YOU ARE NOT WRONG YOU JUST EXPLAINED WITH CLARITY "THE SPOKEN WORD" OF GOD,,,,,,THANK YOU
Great video and awesome beard!!! Never married and now I’m a Little scared to get married sheesh..🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yeah, and that's why the disciples said; "His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry."
Please don’t be scared to be married. God loves for his children to be married and populate the earth. This is why it’s important to be married to a Godly spouse. Pray to God that you will never have any hard heartedness towards your spouse and that your spouse will never have any hard heartedness towards you. Marriage is a beautiful thing. It is society who make it out to seem terrible. None of us will ever be perfect. That’s why love is an action word. It’s not just something you say, but something you choose to do daily. Even if you may be at odds with your spouse. And even then, be quick to reconcile with one another.
@@crwnofenlightenment thank you!!
Yes if it be this way between a husband and his wife it is better not to marry! Some even teach that divorce itself will send you to Hell.
Good teaching brother thank you for teaching the truth
This I tell you, you have done well stick to this teaching and no other. I have lot to say to support this belief but I hate texting lol. Wish we could speak outside of this brother as a man who is hurting I understand suffering for christ
This sounds scriptural. But we know there are several cases which puts us on the side of the victim and we tend to say it’s ok if this guy remarries or this woman remarry out of compassion for the victims. However the word of God is taken as is. No buts and No ifs. We trespas the law of God and we are guilty and we should ask for forgiveness and repent of our sins.
That’s right, if we remarry, while our spouse yet lives, we are no longer victims, but perpetrators

@@Dessme thank you.....
This is a teaching that is hard to receive as the Bible stated it would be and for good reason. So many Christian’s are in this situation of the second marriage churches are full of these adulterous remarriages. I’ve confronted a few over this issue and it’s like they just don’t believe the word as it is written and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to help them to understand this. Pastors will never teach on this in any main line denominational church yep all of them. Most of those I’ve confronted on this say we’ll God forgives and my answer is not while you are committing the sin there is no forgiveness for willful sin. When confronting people about this sin be ready to make enemies fast and you’ll also have to have nothing to do with these people after they’ve been warned.
You are correct, and I’ve had people(“Christians”) separate from me over this. And likewise I know that if a brother is named a adulterer or fornicator I can’t even eat with such a one. We certainly couldn’t give someone communion in that condition, and if they refused to repent of a sinful relationship would not welcome them into the congregation
Malachi 2:13-17
'And this is the second thing you do: You cover the altar of the Lord with tears, With weeping and crying; So He does not regard the offering anymore, Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands. Yet you say, “For what reason?”
Because THE LORD HAS BEEN A WITNESS BETWEEN YOU AND *THE WIFE OF YOUR YOUTH* (Not new wife or 2nd wife; the wife of your YOUTH!), With whom you have dealt treacherously;
Yet SHE IS YOUR COMPANION AND WIFE BY *****COVENANT*****!!!. BUT DID HE NOT MAKE MAKE THEM ONE!!? HAVING REMNANT OF THE SPIRIT? And WHY ONE? HE SEEKS GODLY OFFSPRING!!!!!
Therefore TAKE HEED to your spirit, And let none deal treacherously with THE wife of his youth. “FOR THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL HATES DIVORCE, FOR IT COVERS ONES GARMENT WITH ***VIOLENCE***,” Says the Lord of hosts.
“Therefore TAKE HEED to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously.” You have wearied the Lord with your words; Yet you say, “In what way have we wearied Him? ” In that you say, “Everyone who does evil Is good in the sight of the Lord , And He delights in them,” Or, “Where is the God of justice?”
***Isaiah 1:15

Thank you for your important video. One question I have...in Matthew 5 v 32 it uses the terms "put away" and "divorce". If they are the same thing why isn't the same word used throughout do you think? I find it rather confusing
Thanks for doing this teaching. I was told so differently by people who are leaders in the kingdom of God. They say, that God told them to remarry. The Lord opened my eyes and ears to see the truth of his words about 2 years ago. Question: Should I worship in a ministry that Pastor/Bishop believes in divorce, even though, I believe and walk in what Jesus teaches?
I would not, as the Bible tells us to not even eat with a man who is a
Fornacator 1 Corinthians 5:8-11 KJV - .
⁹ I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: ¹⁰ Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
¹¹ But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
So if the pastor is teaching that a person can be a adulterer (remarried while spouse is alive) then obviously there would be such in the congregation. But of course take it with the word of God and prayer, to be sure it is true
Remember Jesus said the only reason to divorce is fornication not adultery. Adultery takes place after the marriage and adulterers were stoned not divorced.
That's what the confusion was with the Corinthians, Jesus commanded that we not divorce but if we do, remain unmarried or be reconciled, so they were saying what if there is a non-believer who goes by the law and wants to leave? So Paul said let them go.
Sex before being married-fornication is the only reason to divorce not adultery but now we are commanded not to divorce or be reconciled.
Jesus NEVER SAID THAT. YOU ARE misinterprete and Adding to the scriptures. Jesus NEVER GAVE another the reason to REMARRY unless you are a widow. That scripture DOES NOT pertain to Married adult's. That is for financee and BETHROTHALS. KJV says NO TO REMARRY

Grace and Peace Sis.
Please bless me with scriptures so I can learn if I'm in error because I was going off these scriptures Deut.24:1-4 and Matt.19:9, but I could be wrong and don't want to be in error.
@@TriciaRP
First you need to learn somethings. We all are learning daily but watch this
In 1COR.Chapter 7 Paul is dealing with fornication which is what the people wrote to him about. In 1COR.7:10-24 when talking to married people about fornication the topic will be divorce because Jesus made it clear the only reason to divorce is fornication (Matt.19:9). So Paul now gives us a new commandment (1COR.7:10-11) if the woman has committed fornication don't divorce her, and she should not leave but if she does she should remain unmarried or reconcile back to her husband.
Why must she remain unmarried because if she is defiled she can not return to her husband (Deut.24:4).
Incase you don't know sex is marriage but it's between a husband and wife.
(Genesis 24:67 KJV) And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
In 1COR.7:15 Paul is still dealing with divorce but it's an unbeliever who was taught the law every Sabbath in the synagogues and a believer in Christ who is willing to follow the new commandment of 1COR.7:10-11. The unbeliever will want to follow the law (Deut.24:1-4) and the believer won't be held in bondage so that makes them free. She will want to leave because after he finds uncleanness in her, she will no longer find favor in his eyes, and he will want to leave because of the uncleanness he has found in her.
So still dealing with old Testament but Jesus made things clearer for us, now we know if a woman marries another while her husband is alive she commits adultery unless she was put away for fornication. It's best if she keeps to herself because once she is defiled she can't return to her husband.
evidently there is no....innocent party, in the Bible....
repent....admit the sin.....quit the sin.....
Wish I can speak with you on this subject brother. So many people will try to convince you otherwise but they do not know mercy simply they love easy life just walk away
Yes the women jesus said would be an adulterer if anyone remarried her, was abandoned by her husband “without cause” yet Jesus said (she) would become the adulterer if anyone married her
Matthew 5:32 KJVS - But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, 👉🏻causeth her 👈🏻to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery
This is God's honest truth

Philip Buckley
Romans 7:2-3 KJVS
[2] For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of a her husband. [3] So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. …
Philip Buckley also it can be both.
If a person commits adultery, repents and remains faithful it is a one time act.
But as Jesus taught, if a person is married, the divorces , and then continues on to a different relationship then they are in perpetual adultery

@Walking In GOD'S Truth!
This is the strongs definition of “law” in the verse.
Strong's Definition
From a primary word νέμω nemō (to parcel out especially food or grazing to animals);
law (through the idea of prescriptive usage) generally (regulation) specifically (of Moses [including the volume]; also of the Gospel) or figuratively (a principle): - law.
Notice it’s not just used as the law pertaining to “the law of moses” but also the gospel
@Walking In GOD'S Truth! i’ve read it. And it’s not just speaking of the law of Moses but also the gospel. As per the strongs definition that I have shared in the previous comment. It isn’t just the law of Moses that would call her an adulterous but also Jesus himself who would call her an adulterous.
Jesus said you have heard it said(from Moses) But I (Jesus)tell you
Anyone who marries a woman who has been divorced causes her to commit adultery
So if your spouse re-marries, and the congregation approves of it, what do you say to the congregation?
repent, and then leave them....and find someone teaching the truth..

DIVORCE did NOT come from GOD or MOSES but MAN.
The Hebrews learned to divorce during their 400 year plus captivity in Egypt and fine-tuned it to divorce for any cause, even for falling out of love with a wife (Deut. 24:3). God does not condone divorce for adultery, abuse, abandonment, hate or incompatibility.
God's word says :
“They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
He (JESUS) saith unto them, >>Moses>>HARDINESS OF YOUR HEARTS>suffered>but from the beginning it was not so.”SUFFERED
@@44HardCase Thank you for providing that answer. What are your thoughts concerning an unbelieving spouse leaving? see 1Cor. 7:15
@@CryAloudMinistries It's time to explain this controversial scripture that people use to say you can remarry for abandonment.
1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases : but God hath called us to peace.
1 Corinthians 7:15 doesn't mean your free to remarry, or that the person is not your spouse anymore due to abandonment.
I'll tell you why.
1. It would contradict other scriptures such as 1 Corinthians 7:39 that's says your bound for life.
1 Corinthians 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
You can't have one scripture saying your bound till death, and another saying your bound until abandonment.
2. Imagine a woman abandons her husband while being a unbeliever.
- imagine the abandoned husband going to a false church, where the pastor is telling him to move on.
- The husband listens to the pastor and remarries.
- the wife that abandoned him, later on comes to Christ, and she reads the scripture that says she must remain unmarried or go back to her husband.
1 Corinthians 7:10-11 A wife must not leave her husband. But if she does leave him, let her remain single or else be reconciled to him.
- she goes back to him, but only to find out he has another woman now, and now shes confused because the scripture said she could reconcile but now can't.
3. Let's imagine that it did mean the marriage was over and you were free to remarry. This would only apply to a unbeliever abandoning you, not another believer.
4. So what does 1 Corinthians 7:15 actually mean?
When it says "under bondage" in 7:15 it means "enslaved" in greek.
Technically this means if the unbeliever departs your not enslaved to the person anymore.
Now the word "slave" in the bible also means "servant".
Since God has given us duties to carry out for our spouse, we must be a servant to them.
But if someone have abandoned us, how can we serve them? That's why we aren't under bondage or "enslaved" in such cases if we have been abandoned.
Let's address the rest of the scripture.
"but God hath called us to peace."
But if the unbeliever departs, we let them depart, since God has called us to live in "peace".
Why are we to allow the unbeliever to depart? Because it's unpeaceful to force them to stay with you.
Hebrews 12:14 (((Follow peace with all men))), and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
How unpeaceful would it be to force an unbeliever to stay with you? Very unpeaceful!
CONCLUSION: God calls us to be slaves to one another in marriage. We must serve one another. When the unbeliever abandons you, you can't be a slave/servant to that person anymore, therefore your not enslaved or "under bondage" In such cases. If the unbeliever wants to depart you let them, because it's unpeaceful forcing them to stay with you, and God has called us to peace. So It's basically saying that your free from carrying out your martial duties to that person because your abandoned.

God’s word says :
1 Corinthians 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
1. This is a command from Jesus.
2. Do not leave your husband.
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
3. If you depart, stay single.
4. You can reconcile.
5. You cannot marry anyone else.
6. The husband cannot divorce his wife.
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
1. If you are a Christian man and your covenant wife is not saved, if she wants to stay with you, stay with her. She is your covenant wife. God honors covenant marriage. Even if you are unequally yoked.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
1. If you are a Christian woman and your covenant husband is not saved, if he wants to stay with you, stay with him. He is your covenant husband. God honors covenant marriage. Even if you are unevenly yoked.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 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.
If you are abandoned, let your unbelieving spouse go. You cannot forcefully serve them. God has called you to peace [not adultery]. Serve the LORD and wait for your covenant spouse, as Jesus waited for you to leave your old sinful life.
Below in verse 16,
PAUL
STILL CALLS THE ABANDONED SPOUSE A SPOUSE.
16 For what knowest thou, O WIFE, whether thou shalt save thy HUSBAND? or how knowest thou, O MAN, whether thou shalt SAVE THY WIFE?
--------
39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
Marriage is binding till death.
I think if we hang onto Jesus' words and consider the gender specific view to what He taught, the scriptures harmonize the best. I think the pronouns matter. If we take Romans 7 for example: the woman is bound as long as her husband lives. Not the man. The teaching that Jesus gave about a man who marries her who is divorced commits adultery. But Jesus didn't say that a woman who married him who is divorced commits adultery. From what I gather from scripture it can be a legitimate marriage if a man comes out of a marriage because of the fornication of his wife to marry a woman that has never been married.
Please check me on this.
Mark 10:12 KJVS - And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery
Also the scripture does say you can depart, but as 1. Cor chapter 7 they are to remain unmarried or be reconciled. Coupled with Roman’s 7 it’s easily concluded that if the spouse remains alive then she’ll become an adulteress
Also considering that God is no respector of persons there is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female. Gods word applies to all unless it is dealing with senecios that themselves are gender specific “to the wives” to the husbands I say” etc.
