Jesus And Divorce: The Truth About Fornication And Adultery | Pastor Allen Nolan Sermon Clip 

Thank you for this. Mental, emotional and verbal abuse is difficult for people to see. This was true in my case until I left the situation and everyone said I looked 10 years younger. I miss the man I married but not the man he became.

This will give alot of peace to abuse victims.

Can’t specify publicly the grounds for which I walk through the divorce path, but I thank the Lord for your words. I see/hear so many women and men staying into a broken marriage covenant that is costing them dearly (mentally, emotionally, sexually, physically, financially, and it’s hurting their children too). Thank you for bringing the body of Christ some clarity, a calling to honesty and responsibility regarding relationships within marriage.

My wife was tragically killed in a car accident and I've been worried about marriage again because most single women my age are divorced. I thought I would have to be alone for the rest of my life or commit adultery but this has message has been a God send! Thank you for this clarification.

I think some couples just get married without praying about things first. They "fall in love", get married, then find out what their spouse is really like. People should ask God for guidance before marriage, then hopefully, with prayer, a couple will marry and have their marriage blessed by God. Seek God in all areas, especially marriage.

I love your sermons. You preach with unwavering confidence in what you are saying and that is so reassuring to us 🥰

Good teaching! The use of that word always got me, but when I looked it up I never arrived at this understanding. Thank you for this teaching!

So my divorcing my husband for his constant drinking, drugging, lying, and stealing would constitute grounds of fornication? If so, I am so reassured about making that choice 23 years ago (he's still at it by the way). I pray for him.

He's leaving out the part where if you get a divorce, you have to remain un married.

Thank you for clarifying this. Have never heard it this way, and so many of us leaving an abusive marriage have been taught differently. God bless you for teaching us what Jesus meant.

Thank you for your message. My husband was a very verbally abusive man, and he was also getting physically abusive, so I divorced him, (I was trying to figure out how to kill myself), I was always taught that divorce was wrong. So I believed I had no choice but to stay in the marriage. Thankfully my close friend saw what was happening, and helped me get a divorce. I’ve been divorced since 2007, but I’ve always wondered if I can get into Heaven. I even went so far as to think, man, if not for my friend, I’d still be in my marriage and it’s all her fault I messed up and left my husband. Your message totally gave me relief, after all these years of self doubt. And surely I’m not the only one that thought that way.

If people can hold out on temptation and find a husband or wife who loves Jesus as much as you do, then you give your marriage a far more chance of survival. God has to be consistent in both your lives.

Catering to the world with ear tickling and sugar coating

You have eloquently twisted what God says about marriage. And I see that many here are relieved to believe that they are not in an adulterous relationship...even though they are.

I am married, have been for many years. Even way back in 1962, I did not promise God or any human that I would live in obedience to any man. The man I married understood that I would be his life partner carrying an equal though different load of responsibility. He agreed that this was a common goal in our relationship. Neither of us made a promise “ until death do us part”. I did not promise to endure his mistreatment, nor him my mistreatment. How many people have regretted making a promise to remain in a marriage where the man doesn’t provide properly for the family, who uses his spare time to drink and carouse at the local bar, who is abusive , mean spirited, and irresponsible? How many people have regretted making a promise to remain in a marriage where the woman spends every dime on her beauty needs and decorating preferences, who uses her time to work toward a personal goal without any regard for the family’s needs. A woman who is verbally abusive when she doesn’t get her way , drinks to excess , behaves in a sexy manner toward every man she encounters ? God tells us to not make promises we know we cannot keep or do not intend to keep.

That is some good Preaching Pastor Allen

This was so helpful to me and I’m so grateful I found this.

This is good teaching pastor Allen

Jesus NEVER said adultery was grounds for divorce and definitely NOT remarriage! Fornication is an UNMARRIED sin

Wow! A pastor that is actually fair and balanced who doesn't just blame men for everything!

Thank so much for sharing! Praise the LORD, His Word gives us clarity.

This message is for tickling and itching ears He is twisting and bending scripture God hates divorce you can separate that’s true but you cannot remarry as long as your spouse is still alive

A young lady I know, let's call her Elaine, happened to find herself overwhelmed with feelings of resentment and hostility for her friend, let's call him George. She felt that George was somewhat of a loser and that she was the one who deserved to be married first. She also happened to mention to me that her friend had wondered if going to a prostitute while you're engaged is considered cheating. His feeling was they're never going to see each other again so what's the difference?

Excellent book on this subject of divorce and ( remarriage,) which he did not mention, is written by theologin and Bible teacher David Pawson. He is now home with Jesus, at age 90, but left a 70 year library and teaching website out of the UK. The book is called 'Divorce and Remarriage'. He took 50 years of life experience as a Pastor, and research from church history and other scholars to create his manuscript. ❤ His testimonies of the impact of the Biblical truth is life changing on this serious subject.

This teachingbis so good . But consider what Pastor said around the 6:00 minute time mark... Lets agree that SUPPORT is not limied to financial support. It also includes emotional, spiritual and any way the family needs support, in order to please God and glorify God with the marriage. Financial support is not the only type of support that is needed from a Father. Agree???

Agreed. Porneia means immorality. The permanence view actually encourages adultery by removing the punishment for it instituted by Jesus Christ Himself. There are two exception clauses, in Matthew 19:9 and in Matthew chapter five verse 32, and you CANNOT REMOVE THOSE VERSES FROM THE BIBLE. They are there to MAKE CERTAIN THAT MARRAIGES ARE BOTH HOLY AND UNDEFILED. In the Bible days, the penalty for immorality was the death penalty. If the adulterer was stoned to death, the innocent party was not also stoned to death, and would be free to remarry. Adultery is serious business to God, and defiles a marriage. If the adulterer is rewarded for their actions by no penalty for immoral behavior, immoral behavior is encouraged, and accepted as a normal part of a marriage. The unconscionable acceptance of adultery in marriage that is promoted by the permanence doctrine's removal of the exceptions instituted by Jesus Christ Himself are an abomination to God, making a mockery of holiness in marriage by forcing an innocent spouse to "put up with" adultery on the part of a betraying, lying, deceiving, and unfaithful cheating spouse.

Thank you for taking the time to explain this. What a God send to so many.

This doesn't sound right at all. I researched it also. Nowhere does the greek word porneia mean licentiousness. I'm praying about this, and doing more research very important!

I want to applaud the Pastor for telling people that they don't have to stay in an abusive marriage even if no infidelity is involved. I will say that I no longer believe the entire Bible is the inerrant, inspired word of God for many reasons, but I do take marriage vows seriously. One of the reasons I question the accuracy of many things we read in the Bible is that the New Testament was written in Greek, but Jesus and his followers spoke Aramaic. In Pastor Allen's discussion he makes the distinction between the Greek words used for fornication and adultery, but what is the meaning of the words when Jesus spoke these words in the original Aramaic and was anything lost in translation?

Thank you so much for these words! ❤

Wow! the difference in meaning does makes a difference! The English interpretation skims the true and deep meaning of the Hebrews. Deep

I am not sure about this message. It sounds good and would be great for abuse victims(as I am one as well) but this doesn’t sound biblical. Sounds like a message to give a ‘christian’ way out of marriage. This could be leading people away from sound scriptural teaching. 🤔

Dear Lord this Guy gives the go ahead for divorce for almost any reason.

Grew up in a divorced home. Seeing too much failed marriages among family, piers and mates. Decided to never marry. I don't trust anyone.

But he also said “anyone who divorces his wife commits adultery and makes her commit adultery..”…. Unless I’m mistaken if I am forgive me.

Fornication (Porneia) means sexual immorality of any kind which includes homosexuality, incest, adultery or bestiality. Jesus was speaking to the adulterous relationship between Herod Antipas & Herodias to which his cousin John the baptizer spoke out against and was beheaded. Not one time did Jesus ever teach against the Torah.

Somehow this message misses the truth…

I appreciate your teaching so much! Can you provide resources for the Greek translation please?

This is very interesting to me. But you want to be careful, especially as a woman, to not misuse emotional abuse. As a woman, our hormones can get in the way of controlling our emotions. Emotional abuse can be a “catch all” reason to get out of a marriage.

Once marriage is consummated, sexual sin is adultry. Before is fornication. I'll save the word games, Biblical examples are Joseph n Mary and sermon on the mount. You can seperate if it's clearly needed, but you must remain celibate. Scripture is scripture, you can manipulate it any way you want. Heres another scripture, DO YOU NOT KNOW YOU BODY IS A TEMPLE FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT? pastor. Love to see you debate P Gino Jennings. Your in error sir.

I've never understood when guys say that preaching the word is their job I always understood it as in being a pastor or giving God's word is a vocation is the dedication that you do it is not a job you don't get paid for it Jesus didn't get paid for it

Actually fornication / adultery is not a reason to divorce.. if you read it further, it's if that person doesn't change their actions and keeps cheating on their spouse then you divorce. If it's repeated and that person refuses to change, bc marriage is the symbol of how we are to be married to the Lord and show honor and respect to our partner.

I got divorced after 8 years marriage he demanded a divorce. My heart is broken. His woman lawyer said he married me because he felt sorry for me. I called police when he yelled & threw styff because i was scared. Now i wonder if i over re acted? Ill always have love in my heart for edward he is the love of my life. He sees me says hes glad we are stull friends ( distant) he comes each week to walk our dog daisy who is now 11 years old.

I don't care if remarriage is permitted following a divorce or not. I was abandoned by my spouse, and I feel like my soul is ripped apart. The last thing I want is to marry another person. I feel depressed and so lonely, and spiritually dry.

This is the first time I am hearing this.. I know one of the Psalms speaks about a close associate who has broken the covenant.

Word: porneia Pronounce: por-ni'-ah Strongs Number: G4202 Orig: from 4203; harlotry (including adultery and incest); figuratively, idolatry:--sexual immorality. G4203 Use: TDNT-6:579,918 Noun Feminine Heb Strong: H2183 H8457 1) illicit(unlawful) sexual intercourse 1a) adultery, sexual immorality, homosexuality, intercourse with animals etc. 1b) sexual intercourse with close relatives; Lev. 18 1c) sexual intercourse with an unlawfully divorced man or woman; Mr 10:11,12 2) metaph. the worship of idols 2a) of the defilement of idolatry, as incurred by eating the sacrifices offered to idols 2b) any form of idolatry

Pastor Nolan: The trouble we are having is that church congregations do NOT support marriage for life any longer. The general view is that when a judge slams down their gavel, this also ends the covenant. Of course, if one considers this, it could not be further from the truth. Preachers preach marriage for life from the pulpit, but yet they allow adulterers to congregate in their church assembly, even encouraging remarriage in the majority of evangelical contexts. It is clear we are commanded NOT to company with rebellious sinners, who call themselves Christians 1 Cor. 5:11, but yet the church welcomes them into their fellowship, with open arms and some even allow them to company with the singles ministry. Church assemblies often remarry folks who's spouse is still alive. The effect of this disobedience is clearly on display for all to see. The reality is this: THE CHURCH LOOKS JUST LIKE THE WORLD. The church is supposed to be transformed by the renewing of the mind, not conformed to this world. If you track HISTORY on the matter, you will see that when the church allowed the secular courts to break up marriages and families, that clearly this was the beginning of the end of MARRIAGE as we should know it.

I'm sorry but this teaching is not sound. The preacher has stretched the word "pornea" well beyond the context of the teaching in Matthew.

Thank you Allen. This is much closer to the biblical truth than a lot of others I've heard on this matter. "Porneia" in this context is best read as a catch-all for any conduct that would be a material breach of the terms of the marital covenant. Those who claim adultery is the only acceptable ground for divorce according to Jesus are slandering God. Incredibly, some even claim that "porneia" means only sexual misconduct during the engagement period! What do these people take God for!? People who promote the Marriage Permanence Heresy boldly claim that the following is the "clear teaching of God": Domestic violence is not a valid ground for divorce Drug use is not a valid ground for divorce Abandonment is not a valid ground for divorce * Refusing sexual intimacy is not a valid ground for divorce Attempted murder is not a valid ground for divorce But adultery - and adultery alone - is a valid ground for divorce * Some people claim abandonment is a valid ground, but only if the abandoning spouse was an unbeliever. As if an abandoned wife is any less abandoned if her former husband claimed to be a follower of Jesus! Common sense - not to mention common decency - should preclude anyone with an IQ above 75 from buying into this teaching.

Thank you...this is also stated again through paul..with believer and non believer....

It's one thing to financially support but, my support wasn't good enough, we had everything we need but she still wasn't happy. What standard are we to uphold

This has to be one of the greatest heresies in church history. A Greek word was added by Erasmus to change the meaning of the verse. It should read who ever divorces even over pornia and remarries commits adultery.

Biblically sound teaching on divorce. God speed.

I don't see anything that equates Porneia to licentiousness. In the Greek it always referred to sexual immorality, which can then be translated to Fornication, which only means sexual immorality or figuratively, idolatry. Now you can then use the word Licentiousness for Fornication as both are English words that mean sexual immorality. However, they didn't translate Porneia to licentiousness because it can also mean what you describe in terms of unacceptable societal behaviour. What you are doing is hopping words to come up with a completely different meaning. IE take a Greek word that means sexual immorality, translate it to fornication which means sexual immorality and then hop over to licentiousness which also means sexual immorality with the express purpose of using it's alternate meaning of disregard for accepted rules and norms, which is not synonymous with Fornication.

The point that all scripture concerning marriage is making goes over most people's heads because we approach the scriptures the wrong way. We are to base our beliefs on what the Bible says, not use the Bible to prove our beliefs are right. Why do we open God's word? Are we trying to learn the Truth or just confirm what we want it to say? What it actually says and what we think it says rarely are the same. Like in Romans 14, it's not about whether we as believers choose to eat/drink/celebrate certain days or things, it's about how our actions affect our fellow believers and neighbors. When you put all scriptures about divorce and marriage together, one point glares from it all...If a man and woman are married and they're both in the will of God, there's nothing they can't overcome with Christ being the anchor. Marriage is the earthly example of Christ and His bride. The Bible says if we stay close to Him, he will always make a way to escape the temptation of sin. That's why the Bible says a husband and wife only need to be apart for prayer, then quickly be back together. When a marriage is unequally yoked, it says if both are happy in the marriage, to stay married because the one out of God's will or lost may be more inclined to give their heart to Christ after witnessing the faithfulness of the other. God doesn't hold the believer responsible if doesn't work out because it says a believer is not to marry an unbeliever. It's referring to an originally unbelieving couple and then one accepts Christ. Let's not complicate God's perfect word to bend to our ego.

Thank you for the sermon Pastor. What happened? The video got cut off?

Yes.

Wow so good!

Every word you spoke was carnal and edified nothing but the flesh

Jesus is coming quick in the clouds to collect the church 🗝️THE KEY TO YOUR SALVATION 💙🙏 1Corinthians 15: Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 💙For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:💙 Confess, repent, believe & trust that King Jesus died, paid for your sins, and was raised by God on the 3rd day! May God be with you! God loves you, Jesus loves you 💕God Bless!!

There is a lot of arguing about this topic. There is a lot of judgment passed based on interpretation of the scripture. I think this is one of those situations that Jesus would look at and remind us not to strain the gnat and swallow the camel. A topic like this is not easy to interpret even with all of the scriptures we have access to but this video is a good start; but I think it’s most important to avoid being like the Pharisees and to do our best to follow all of the laws to the best of our ability without ignoring larger matters of the law such as justice, mercy and faith.

Pastor, that verse sais nothing about being able to divorce. It is simply stating the sin tied to divorce.

Why do all messages on divorce insinuate that its the man that does the putting/divorcing away HIS wife. What about the Wife putting away her husband?

Viewers make sure you research this for yourselves. Porneia is definitely sexual activity. Porneia is not outside of sexual activity unless it is used metaphorically….. which it is not in this scripture. Viewer you need to ask where he exactly gets his Greek definitions of Porneia and Moichao.

If it's all inspired then why did Jesus contradict half of the old part?

My husband... I asked God for a sign, nevermind he left me for a prostitute half our age 3yrs ago, a sign of whether i should divorce or not 😂 its bc i love him still, ya know. My justification for hanging on. I havent seen him in 2yrs, they have a child, i was unable to concieve during our 15yrs together, but he refused to sign. So i paid extra money to have notices published in the newspaper this month. He wont see or respond to them so i can get the divorce without his signature. But i STILL asked God just TODAY to give me a sign, or stop the divorce if He didnt want it to happen 😂 and sure enuff my husband text me at 5am, some nonsense. I believe this sermon is my sign. Head over heart decisions are hard, but necessary, bc God doesnt want any of His children to suffer at the hands of someone elses hateful heart. It doesnt make us martyrs, it makes us fools.

I'm trying to find where he gets the meaning of 'licentiousness' from porneia. I haven't found it. It would seem his whole argument hinges on that.

There are so many interpretations of divorce and remarriage, it's unreal!

I agree completely that it is the man’s responsibility to provide for his wife. However that means, that the man is the prize, not necessarily the woman. This is a difficult thing to say, but the only relationships in life for a man that are unconditional, is with Christ, his mother, and his dog. If he wants a marriage, then he has to pay. Unfortunately (or not…) that means that a marriage relationship is transactional. How can it not be? But this begs a larger point. Generations of men have been taught in church, “lay down our life” for Christ. Which is true incorrect. However when this has been taught, what has been inculcated into the hearts of generations of men, is that you stop pursuing career, stop pursuing preparation for a coach, insured anything that is a desire or ambition or passion, has to die. About 45 years ago I had an inflection point in my life, I did what I thought was truly, laying down my life, for Christ. The consequences of my doing it that way, destroyed my life. I’m 67 now. I’m divorced, because I was never truly prepared for the responsibilities of married life. And without children or any family. What really needs to be taught, before you build on the other things, is what it actually means to live crucified life. What it means, and what it doesn’t mean. To a person, I have never in my life known of this being tired taught.

Thank you 🙏

This should not be a conversation in a real Christian family or church, very sad that people are evil by nature and think that living a double life will help them. Romans 8:5-8 King James Version 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Where’s the rest of this video ???

Then I don't believe I'm goin to Hell for fornicating...but might be kicking Satan out of his thrown!! I've been in sin long as I can remember...and was trying to be a Christian, went to church services, though at one time or 2 that I had accepted the Holy Spirit. But, then my family members who talked me into attending had a falling out from the Church of God. So, as I didn't drive, had no money or job. basically no LIFE! I gave up, as I always did, and do. Depressed with all kinds of Anxiety and worry about everything wrong in my life , and why I don't care enough to fix any of it. 50 years later...I not much changed.

I Corinthian 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. God agrees to a separation. If he or she is abusive verbally, mentally or physically no God don't want you to be in harm's way. If you two can not dwell under the same roof without conflict. Then you can separate but you must remain unmarried. And if she want to have sexual intercourse she must be reconciled to her husband. God's rule 1 Corinthians 7:11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. God knew all this would happen and these liars would try and tell you that divorce was justified if he cheats or she beats him. Or irreconcilable differences. If amazing how they run to the greek language to use words for the KJV BIBLE in order to justify what they want. The KJV BIBLE Has been around for centuries now you are saying it's wrong in its phase. Come on. What God has set in order is LAW. Satan and man are trying to change it. God said I am a God that change not, heaven and earth shall pass away but my word will not pass away.

Yes, covenant standards in marriage apply to both man and woman and sometimes the woman breaks the covenant by not reciprocating in all the ways of nurturing- not just the kids but the husband and supporting him as a help mate

Thx Pst Allen for this teaching....Pls could you share your ressource where I can get this broader meaning of pornea that you are sharing about, that would be very helpful as I share with the leadership. I have looked online without much success...thank you, it would be much appreciate.

As an atheist, it's refreshing to see this guy helping liberate people from terrible marriages. But, having said that, I wonder what evidence he really has that "porneia" is actually anything that breaks the marriage covenant rather than the more obvious sexual definition of porneia. Also, for the ones who insist porneia must be a reference to adultery, thereby making Jesus say: "A man cannot divorce his wife, except on the grounds of ADULTERY", it seems pretty ludicrous to me that a first century Jewish man (who Christians insist was also the incarnation of Yahweh, the one who gave the laws to Moses to begin with) would tell fellow Jewish men (let's face it, he wasn't giving this directive to women, as Jewish women didn't have the right to divorce their husbands) that they can divorce their wives if the wives cheat on them. If a Jewish man's wife cheated on him, she and the man she cheated with were to be stoned to death after appearing before the Sanhedrin. Why would anyone need to divorce a bloody corpse? One possible explanation for what Jesus meant by porneia is that he was referring to the engagement period, which was treated like marriage for a year but without living together or having sex, if the man found something "unclean" about his spouse-to-be during this period, he would write her a certificate of divorce, even though their marriage wasn't official yet. This also might explain why Joseph, when realizing Mary was pregnant, wanted to divorce her in secret, since if he waited for the marriage to be official she wouldn't have passed the virginity test (obviously) and then death would have been the sentence for her. Divorcing her in secret might have delayed her death sentence for a number of months. Ahh Joseph, history's first recorded cuck.

The word Pornea is in the Classical Greek. There is not much known about that word during the first century. To get a good understand, see David Instone-Brewer's work on divorce and remarriage. You can actually find more about the Deuteronomery 24:1 "uncleanness" by using older writtings. The Septuagent is a good place to start. The word uncleanness is translated from Hebrew to Greek by Jewish writers and scribes. The word for uncleanness in Greek is used throught the Old Testament (according to the Septuagent). Matter of fact, much of the New Testament seems to be writtings of the OT from the Septuagent. It was used in prostitution and other forms of sexual innapropiate behavious. There is a lot of good works that have written on this. It is not a good idea to get all the references from the New Testament alone. But take out of your storehouse old and new things.

I came across this video again and it actually shocked me this man doesn't know what fornication means, simply put it means any unlawful sexual contact which includes adultery, if you find these two words being used together in any translation, I can assure you that person didn't know what fornication meant, to figure this out, simply replace that word with ANY UNLAWFUL sexual act, it's not just ONE, it's adultery, incest, rape, man on man sex woman on woman sex, for the Jew marrying someone other than a Jew, ( that's law has been done away with ) plus whoredom spoken of by the prophets which means having MORE than ONE lover, that sin doesn't apply to the married, the sin of the married IS adultery, whoredom is the sin of the unmarried, it's NOT having sex not being married, it's cheating on the ONE person your sexually involved with, Lev.15:16-24 is the law pertaining to the UNMARRIED that is a single man and a single woman ( not married ) AND not children still living under their fathers RULE or authority, there are different laws concerning these children that DON'T apply to the man and the woman, I'm telling you right now, anyone committing any of these laws have not only legal excuses for divorce but needful excuses for divorce especially if there's children involved, IF you came home from work and found your spouse having sex with your child ( incest ) you had better snatch them up and LEAVE, the same for any person finding their spouse in bed sexually with either the same sex or an animal, get OUT, they got a problem, fornication is not a single sin, it's EVERY UNLAWFUL SEXUAL SIN mentioned in the LAW and the prophets and if your not following man's law but God's Law, man on man sex and woman on woman sex is UNLAWFUL or forbidden, man's law has most of God's Law in it too but not all, so don't get confused, there's several things in the law that Jesus allowed in His teachings, Paul in some of his, eating certain foods, circumcision, sabbaths, maybe some others but not ALL LAW, there are many laws written that we are NOT delivered from and never will be, separating the one's we have been delivered from the one's we haven't would end a lot of confusion, the bible doesn't do that, the teacher is suppose to do that, the same goes for the word " sin ", the bible doesn't say what KIND of sin will separate one from God except sins that Paul listed in gal. 5, and that's only IF it was Paul that really wrote that letter and it was translated word for word correctly, I have my doubts though because the KJ version uses the word adultery then fornication which is telling me that person didn't know what fornication meant, the Greek however omits the word adultery in it, the Greek would be more accurate but useless if you don't know what fornication means

I believe 1timothy was taken out of context. No where does it say that the man is responsible to take care his family financially alone. Though I don’t think it’s all wrong. But in context it’s talking about widows-and her believing family who doesn’t take care of their fellow believer widow who is also their relative is worst than an infidel.

I was a widower I met a woman who’s x husband put her in the hospital he slammed her against the car and will not change my late wife was A Jewish Jesus believer she prayed that I would find someone and love her twice as much I took this woman in as my wife were on the mission field as I was before the last 20 yrs with my late wife. Here friends and family say she looks years younger her growth in the lord is expanding she is no longer afraid We went to Israel for are honeymoon and met people I there from my late wife’s side. And did a Katuba a Jewish marriage contract on the Sea of Galilee as a show of love with are friends there that couldn’t make are marriage in the U.S

False teaching right here.

What if your disabled not to be able to work anymore? Please answer this for me thank you

Fornication is before marriage. Adultery is while married.

My husband cheated after 27 years of marriage

What if man discovers one of the children is not his through DNA,wat next? ...cn some one answer this one?

Mattew 24:14 breakdown, they're Jesus words, only a worldwide organization could do this, there will be a worldwide preaching campaign, so they are preachers out preaching, the message is about a coming kingdom, and this is a prerequisite to what?, and after it THE END comes. Also at Matthew 5:44 Jesus said love your enemies so they can't kill them in war. At Matthew 24:9 Jesus says they'll be hated. There's only one group that fits Jesus description unless you want to call him a liar.

So Adultery is NOT grounds for divorce but ANY form of abuse as defined by our present societal standards is OK! LOL! I guess Stoning an adulterer was God's way but now its you not that bad! Personal biases from preachers will ALWAYS be there. Listen to God Jesus Christ for what He wants you to do.

AUTHORITY . Sorting it out: Morality comes from 5 factors. 1 Community standards 2.Conscience 3. Sense of biblical wisdom 4. What pleases and honors God 5. Wisdom of the body of Christ (leaders)

Do not be deceived brethren, The Council of Nicaea was responsible for deciding which books should be included in the Bible, on top of our current modern versions that range anywhere from 5 to 10 different versions of the Bible, he is miss using, but completely dismissing and counter addicting with him, implying that God is wrong, visit the book of Numbers : 5, 30. This book is a complete Direc descendent of the original published book of the time of Moses, with very little to almost nothing being altered. In that scripture, pornography is absolutely hideous, and a bacteria to the mind and soul, however, the penetration of a woman and the penetration of a man into a woman is absolutely the perfect form of adultery, not men’s misconception and manipulation to correlate pornography with adultery, women in men, lust and sin quite often because we are cursed with sins dating back to our great grandparents, Adam and Eve.

If a man decides his family will keep the Sabbath day holy, is that grounds for the Christian woman to file for legal separation or divorce?

My Bible says in that verse says adultery

I disagree with explanation of fornication. It is opening door for divorce contrary to question asked "for any reason". If fornication means any kind of abuse, it becomes matter of opinion.

Why would Jesus use a Greek word? I thought he spoke Hebrew?

Some of these comments will make you feel like God wants to punish you more than anything and he is so rigid about this law even though He remembers that we are dust...

In RED, JESUS speaking. Matthew 19:9 “And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.” Sex will indeed send many of the lake of fire. MANY have traded an eternity of bliss for momentary pleasures.

Way outnin left field. Unfortunately this is going to influence people to have divorces that shouldn't happen! Lord have mercy. His "breakdown" of the Greek "porneia" is complete sophistry and a work of eisegesis. Very sad actually. Notice, many of the folks who really like it, are types that are already looking for grounds for divorce already!

This is not true!!! People will come up with any reason to divorce and get married while the covenant person is still alive. Romans 7:1-3...1 Cor. 7:10-11.... 1 Cor. 7:39.... The Hebrew people knew exactly what fornication meant because they told Jesus we where not born of fornication in John 8:40-42. They knew Mary was pregnant before Joseph actually came to enter into a marriage covenant with her. She was pregnant during the espousal period. All this he's coming up with is not true. If that was true herodias would have never been called your brother's wife she would have been called your brother ex-wife because for adultery she divorced Philip and married his brother!! Scripture shows the only people that could have gotten a divorce was in the case of Joseph and Mary. But Mary was not guilty of fornication. He is misusing the word fornication. When the Pharisees told Jesus that we were not born of fornication that gives you the definition of fornication. Fornication can be incest also because a person can have sex with a relative. But it's always heterosexual sex. Fornication is not bestiality. But because it's the word where we get p*** from and because every sexual sin is grouped into pornography then they extended the definition of the word. But John 8:41 actually gives you the definition of cornea because that's what Mary and Joseph was accused of doing before they entered the Covenant marriage and she was pregnant. Is he claiming that Mary committed all of those other sexual sins that's included in pornography. He is true that Jesus did not use the greek word for adultery!! Under Moses law there were two schools of thought on that. Jesus would have never concluded that either one of these schools of thought was correct inside it with any of those thoughts. Jesus concluded with what he heard from His Father!!!

You've won

How about when your wife leaves your 7 year old daughter locked out of your apartment and leaves for a year then comes back stays 6 months then leaves again. I believe I was right to divorce in the eyes of the lord.
