Their is no way to dissolve a marriage period only death. People keep playing with God that you can repent and then marry another because God forgives it all you a fool if you believe you can remarry with all respect. Like it is said the hardness of hart. But when you repent and ask forgiveness you also saying husband or wife I forgive anything you have done to me. In other words the slaigth is clean so therfore reconcile or stay single. I'll challenge who ever told you this even God told Israel remember I'm still marry to you.....
The divorce and remarriage for adultery doctrine is based solely on the supposed guilt of the wife in Matthew 5:32 and 19:9. However, the wife, in the above scriptures, is clearly not guilty of fornication because the Jews (that Jesus was speaking to) were still living under the law, and if fornication was discovered, there was a moral obligation to report the offender according to Deuteronomy 22:13-24. The wife, who would have been found guilty of fornication, was subsequently stoned to death, according to the law, which had still governed the Jews up until Christ's death on the cross. The same for a woman caught in adultery, according to Leviticus 20:10. How could a wife, guilty of fornication, or adultery, under the law of Moses, be given a writing of divorcement and be caused to commit adultery with whosoever marries her, that is divorced? Jesus is clear, in these examples, that the wife is not guilty of fornication, but is still caused to commit adultery if she marries another man now that she is divorced. This is the only way that Matthew 5:31-32, and Matthew 19:9 keep harmony with Romans 7:2-3, and 1 Corinthians 7:39. Unlike the synoptic gospels of Mark and Luke, which were written to evangelize the Gentiles, Matthew was written to the Jews, and has of 24 characteristics that identify it as intended for the house of Israel. The ancient Jews called the betrothed (engaged) "husband" and "wife" according to Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Matthew 1:18-25, and Luke 2:5-7. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage) was never for fornication or adultery. Allowing those guilty of fornication and adultery to remain living and become a prospect for remarriage was against the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22:13-24 and Leviticus 20:10, which commanded that those who were found guilty of fornication and adultery be put away from Israel, and stoned to death. The law of Moses was not given to the world, only to the Jews. From the exodus, to Christ's death on the cross, the law of Moses governed the Jewish people. Christ's death on the cross caused the Jews to become dead to the law of Moses, so they could be joined to Christ under a New Covenant. This is what Jesus's fulfillment of the law of Moses, including Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Moses's precept of divorce and remarriage), means. Paul gave several warnings to Christian believers against keeping the ordinances of law of Moses as justification, over following Christ and his commands under the New Covenant with Christ. Keeping the ordinances of the law is no longer possible, for Israel, and that is why Christ prophesied that the temple would be destroyed. These scriptures make it clear that if you choose the law over Christ, that you must keep the whole law: Romans 7:4, Galatians 3:1-9, Galatians 3:10-29, Galatians 4:1-7, Galatians 4:21-31, and Galatians 5:1-15. Being unequally yoked to unbelievers is not a cause for divorce, once two become one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, according to 1 Corinthians 7:12-14. Many one-flesh covenant marriages between unbelievers are recognized by God in the scriptures, most notably the marriage covenants between Herodias and King Herod's brother Philip, Potiphar and his wife, Ahab and Jezebel, and Ruth to her deceased husband Mahlon by Boaz when he took her to be his wife. Some are teaching that 1 Corinthians 7:15 implies that those who are abandoned, by an unbelieving spouse, are "no longer bound" in a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The reason this is in conflict is due to the way some translations word it, which gives it an entirely different meaning, and context. 1 Corinthians 7:15, says, "But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace." As you can see, the actual scripture says "not enslaved" which means that the husband or wife is not enslaved to sin with the unbelieving spouse, and is free to worship Christ in peace. Subsequent translations have changed the words to imply that they nullify the marriage covenant, which is not at all the case. The issue that this creates is with 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, which says, "10To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife." As you can see, those who claim 1 Corinthians 7:15 shows the Apostle Paul giving those who are abandoned permission to remarry, do not understand the command that Christ gives is to an abandoned husband, in 1 Corinthians 7:11, and that he "must not divorce" his wife, and his wife is commanded to "remain unmarried or else be reconciled" to her husband. The theory that 1 Corinthians 7:15 nullifies two as being one-flesh, due to one's unbelief, puts the Apostle Paul directly at odds with Christ, and himself, by implying that Paul has issued an opposing command to verses 10-14 in verse 15. Some also teach that 1 Corinthians 7:27-28 is referring to both divorced men and virgin women, and not exclusively to men and women (virgins) who have never been married. This has been falsely taught for some time in churches as referring to anyone who is not currently in a marriage, which, for them, also includes those who are divorced. This is a very false assumption, and puts these verses in a different context, that is at odds with both the teachings of Christ and the apostle Paul. We see Paul refer to virgins, which signifies the unmarried who have never before been wed, which is the proper context here. We see Paul saying clearly that it is good for virgins, which is also speaking to never before wed men here, "that it is good for a man so to be." He goes on to say, "Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife." Who is he referring to here? Men who, like himself, have never married. The word "bound", in these verses, is a clear reference to betrothal (engagement) and not to a one-flesh covenant of marriage. The ancient Jews were considered bound as husband and wife during the betrothal (espousal/engagement) before becoming one-flesh in a covenant of marriage, through consummation. This is affirmed by the context of the term "bound" seen in Numbers 30:14-16. The Jewish couples in ancient Israel, who were betrothed (engaged) were also bound together until death, either by execution for fornication, or by other causes. Then Paul says, "But and if thou marry, thou has not sinned", which is who? The men who had never married in the congregation at Corinth. So he begins with verses 25-26 speaking exclusively to men that have never married. Paul then says, "and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned", which is speaking directly in regard to virgin women who have never been married, within the congregation, not divorced women. Notice that verse 34 says, "There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband." Paul speaks plainly when he says "there is a difference between a wife and a virgin." Paul goes on to say, "But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry." This is speaking of a virgin who has become of age to bear children when it says, "let them marry." This is a clear command, to a single man, who has taken a virgin to be his wife. Paul then says, "Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well." This is referring again to the single man who decides it is better not to marry, but to stay betrothed (engaged), under the present distress, by saying that he "hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin." Paul then says, "So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better", which again means single men, in the congregation, who have betrothed a wife, do well if they marry, and those who choose not to marry their virgin brides do better, under the current climate. For more proper context of the word "bound", let's look further down in this chapter to verse 39, which says, "39The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:39). For so long, these scriptures, between verses 25-38, have been twisted and used to enable divorce and remarriage, by wayward churches and teachers, and have caused many to stumble and to be trapped in unscriptural unions. The use of the woman at the well, in regard to marriage, falsely implies that Christ was endorsing remarriage after a divorce. This teaching is in defiance of Matthew 22:23-28, which shows a woman who had been widowed seven times, and entered into each subsequent marriage without any scriptural conflicts with God's law of marriage (one-flesh covenant) seen in Genesis 2:23-24. Mark 10:1-12 and Matthew 19:1-12 both record Christ's teaching that day beyond the Jordan. There is no mention of the words "fornication", "writing of divorcement", or "divorced" in Mark's Gospel because Mark was not written to the Jews (as Matthew's Gospel was), but to evangelize the Romans, and likewise Luke to evangelize the Greeks, who had no knowledge of the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 22 or Deuteronomy 24. All of these facts draw a clear understanding that remarriage after a divorce, under the New Covenant with Christ, is a scripturally false and baseless teaching. Please use wisdom when living in any situation against what the scriptures command.
I agree with everything you're saying and have studied it in similar depth, including the differences between the writings of Matthew contrasted with Mark and Luke for different audiences. I agree that in every situation there is sin in divorce and in remarriage. However, as I've prayed and studied, The Spirit seemed to lead me to the reality of Truth and Grace being given based on this one thing...if we are going to see these teachings as condemning everyone who is divorced and remarried then it also seems that we would be saying that to ask forgiveness for divorce and then living singly would be with forgiveness granted but when it comes to remarrying after a divorce then that sin of adultery cannot be forgiven...if I hear you (and others who agree with you) correctly. If that's the case, then 1 of 2 things must be true and both are difficult to reconcile according to God's Word...1) the person who commits adultery in remarriage (and causes the person they marry to commit adultery) can ask for forgiveness of that sin and under the blood of Jesus be cleansed and set free under His new and fulfilled covenant and then enter into the new marriage forgiven and free, or...2) they have committed an unpardonable/unforgivable sin which means they have blasphemed The Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31-32; Mark 3:29; Luke 12:10) as this is the only unforgivable sin. This means that we either have to state that anyone who has divorced and remarried is guilty of this one and only unforgivable sin and equate remarriage/adultery as blasphemy against The Holy Spirit...or we must recognize that in their sin and brokenness that Christ's grace and blood in the New fulfilled Covenant is sufficient to wipe their slate clean and allow them to enter into the new marriage as forgiven and free. Yes they are and have been guilty of sin...divorce, adultery...but they can seek and receive His forgiveness and move beyond that sin in freedom. Which of these it true? And I ask humbly because I truly believe this is His Truth and Grace in forgiveness for those who have entered into this sin and have sought His forgiveness and received it because they are not blaspheming The Holy Spirit (the only unforgivable sin)? Thanks for taking the time and I look forward to your response. God bless in Christ!
@@gdub7509 think of Zaccheaus and his repentance, and how the Lord said his repentance led to his salvation. Would this have been had Zaccheaus not chosen to give back what he had unrightfully taken? Shouldn't this also apply to another's man's wife (flesh)?
@@gdub7509 No it isn't how it "seems." Every day that a person lives in a remarriage that God calls adultery they are heaping up God's wrath for not repenting and forsaking the adultery. Divorced and remarried people go to hell if they die in the sin. There isn't special grace for this one thing. Romans 6 says we must stop the sin. 1 John 3 says if we keep in the adultery we are a child of the devil. Jesus said, "stop sinning."
@@gdub7509 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

@@ajlouviere202 What does the allowance of divorce for hard hearts create with regard to sin and forgiveness? Can people be forgiven for divorce (breaking the covenant with their spouse)? If they are forgiven for divorce (and yet do not "return to their former spouse") then are they free of that sin? It sounds like you're saying that once they have divorced and choose to seek another relationship (marriage) that they are now rejecting Christ continually by living in adultery...there is no hope for them even if they are striving and seeking after The Lord in their sin to realize forgiveness and be able to move in that forgiveness and freedom? The latter is impossible which would place this sin essentially as blasphemy against The Holy Spirit (as I understand it in rejecting Christ's salvation and forgiveness which is the only way one can receive The Holy Spirit)? Thanks again for your responses.
Everything you said was biblical until you said that someone who has divorced and remarried are covered by God’s grace to remain in a sinful adulterous remarriage. God never forgives sin WITHOUT a person forsaking that sin (Proverbs 28:13). Jesus told the woman caught in adultery to GO AND SIN NO MORE (John 8:11). He also told the man He healed to SIN NO MORE lest a worse thing come upon him (John 5:14). You are telling people the opposite of what Jesus taught. You are leading people into great sin that leads to hell because NO ADULTERERS will inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10). Furthermore, Titus 2:11-12 say, “For the GRACE of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.” Living in adultery is not godly or righteous. Romans 6:1-2 say, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” Romans 6:15 says, “What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!” Please stop teaching that those who have divorced and remarried, while their covenant spouse is still alive, can stay in those sinful marriages. If you do not repent and personally contact (If this is possible) those that you have mislead with this error, you will have blood on your hands. You will also need to do whatever is necessary to correct this false teaching regarding staying in an adulterous remarriage.
He absolutely has blood on his hands, and I hope he will repent and boldly do a video that he was a false teacher. Contact the African church and tell them you were wrong.

Sorry, but this is false teaching. You are not forgiven to remain in an adulterous marriage. Would you tell a gay married couple to pray for an hour and sincerely apologizing to God to be set free to continue in their "one" relationship. JESUS said you MUST GO AND SIN NO MORE. Adultery isn't forgiven if you continue in it. Divorce and remarriage adultery is forgivable, but you must LEAVE the remarriage and either remain single or else be reconciled to your covenant spouse. There are people who repent and are able to have their covenant marriages restored because we are not under the Deuteronomy 24 Mosaic laws. Marriage is only one man to one woman for one lifetime. I have a playlist of over 400 videos, and I have personally done lots of videos about this because the wickedness in the church of remarriage adultery is all over the world including Israel's Messianic churches. Jesus is coming soon, and most will be left behind because they did not abstain from sexual immorality.
Speak it up brother..for there are people especially some Christians who really twist the words in the bible with regards to this major issue in our world now..there are only few who really understand this..it is not that difficult to analyze the verses that taught about Adultery..I am single and also believe that Marriage is a lifetime comitment..only death can end up the bondage of Marriage..
Thanks for your encouraging comments as there is so much conformity in our culture...and churches...and I believe God is calling His Church to repentance, humility and boldness! Thanks again and God bless in Christ! Let me know if I can help in any way to share with your church or group to help spread the message of His Truth!
@TheUnveiledChristian You have to listen carefully. He said what so many pastors say that you can remain in the remarriage when Jesus said it is "committeth" adultery- continual unless the covenant spouse dies. To claim forgiveness and reject the command of the Lord Jesus to go and sin no more is presumptuous sin. Africa and many countries have corrupted the gospel to allow for sexual immorality, but God says that the divorced and remarried adulterers will go to hell the same as the homosexuals in a legal gay marriage. Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Galatians 5:19-25, Mark 10:1-12, Luke 16:14-18, Romans 7:1-3, 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 & 39. False teachers will be judged most harshly- 2 Peter 2, Jude 1:4, James 3:1. Jesus is coming soon, and probably only 2-5% will be raptured. He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3:36 Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more. For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; and that no man transgress and defraud his brother in the matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you. For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification. So, he who rejects this is not rejecting man but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And if it is with difficulty that the righteous is saved, what will become of the godless man and the sinner? 1 Peter 4:17-18 The Jezebel spirit can be in men too. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that COMMIT ADULTERY with her into GREAT TRIBULATION, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. Revelation 2:20-23 KJV
