Marriage was intended by the Author of all life, to be one man and one woman, permanent, for life.

Has God made provision for divorce due to the regrettably, covenant-breaking offense(s) of a mate? Does He punish His victimized children for the offense of their mate? When wronged (fornication, abandonment) by their own mate, are His children relegated to a life of being alone, unmarried due to being victimized?

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“From what I understand, the Bible says God doesn’t like divorce but allows it. However, the problem is remarriage. We are to stay unmarried or be guilty of adultery until our spouse dies.”

REPLY:

God hates divorce. He said that once (Malachi 2:16). Yet the sin of adultery which He also hates, is found 64 times in His Word (adultery, adulterous, adulterer, adulteress, etc.). Those who were divorced due to the fornication or abandonment of their former spouse are absolutely “not under bondage” (not bound) to that previous marriage and fully free to remarry if they desire (1 Corinthians 7:15-16; Deuteronomy 24:1-4). There is no adultery in remarriage, especially if the person who remarries is not the offending party. And, by the way, does this idea not also violate the character of the God of love? It sure does. Besides it being unbiblical to say all remarriage is sin, we can also ask, with the whole of Scripture in mind: Would the LORD punish His own children unduly for the sin of others? That sounds sadistic to me, as in it seems to be coming from Satan, not God. The LORD told us that each person is accountable for his own sins and not the sins of any other, not even our own children, spouses, etc. (Deuteronomy 24:16; Ezekiel 18:19-20). This is eye opening right here.

Each individual person, created by and responsible to God, will give account for his own sins, and never, not the sins of any other. God has made each of us unique and uniquely accountable, personally responsible for our doings.

“The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.” Deuteronomy 24:16

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“Good morning my brother In Christ Jesus…so recently I saw a lying basher per say…post and say that anyone who is divorced and been remarried is in continuing sin and are hell bound. My wife was married before and the man committed adultery and also put her away. We’ve been married 8 years now…am I in sin? I know the Word says except for fornication all else is not reason for divorce basically. I know without a doubt God put my wife in my life when I was a sinner man messing up…”

REPLY:

Fornication and abandonment are divorce-able offenses (Matthew 5:32; 19:9; 1 Corinthians 7:15).  These divorce dictators are nicolaitans of the worse kind which Jesus says He hates (Revelation 2:6, 15). They are conquering, bringing into bondage the people by way of their lies and are heretics of the worse, most sadistic kind. God doesn’t punish His own children for the sin of someone else… such as an abandoning, adulterous mate. I want to encourage you to read these posts linked below and also to listen to pastor Tim’s video…..amazing, truth. This truth has saved many from destruction inflicted by these demon possessed heretics who say you can’t remarry. Hearing and walking in the truth makes us free (John 8:31-32, 36).

WHERE does God’s Word say that a remarried person is going to hell? Nowhere. You haven’t proved “perpetual adultery” because you can’t without leaving Bible truth out of your convoluted equation. You haven’t thoroughly, honestly studied the whole counsel of Scripture on the matter and are simply following other heretics.

“WHO shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” Romans 8:33-34

Brian Joel writes:

“The issue is that these marriage Pharisees don’t understand the Gospel…..when you become a new creation in Him, all the covenants from “Babylon” dissolve and you start a new….to say that you can’t would be to preach a Gospel where Satan still has you bound forever to your old life before Christ…this is another Gospel…..that’s the first issue they can’t grasp their head around….

The 2nd is the issue is that they don’t understand what it means to be “blameless” before Him….If someone abandons you, then you’re blameless in the situation….you cannot however be the one that does the abandoning….this would never happen though if you both are truly united in Christ though.”

As Brian points out, are these no-divorce pharisees not wrongly condemning the just?

“He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.” Proverbs 17:15

Have you been unfortunately divorced and are perhaps considering remarriage? Well, beware of the diabolical divorce dictator heretics, novices who run rampant on social media, seeking to put people into bondage by their lies. Among other lies, they are telling people to divorce their second spouse and go back to the first which God’s Word expressly forbids (Deuteronomy 24:4).

“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.” Deuteronomy 24:4

Believer’s Bible Commentary on divorce and remarriage:

“Deuteronomy 24:1-4
11. Divorce and Remarriage (24:1-4)
A man could divorce his wife for uncleanness by writing her a certificate of divorce and giving it to her. She was then free to marry someone else. But if her second husband died or divorced her, the first husband was not allowed to marry her again. Jehovah gave Israel a certificate of divorce (Jer_3:1-8); yet in a future day He will take her to Himself again, having purged her of her unfaithfulness. Oh, the depths of the riches of the love of God; how low He stoops to love the unlovable!”

Finnis Dake on divorce and remarriage:

“Whatever the intended thought, it is clear that divorce was not commanded here, but permitted because of the hardness of hearts (Deu_24:1; Mat_19:8); that both divorced parties were free to remarry (Deu_24:2); that the first husband could not take the wife a second time, for that was an abomination to God (Deu_24:3-4). Such things must be understood in the light of several factors: that a wife became the actual property of the husband and he became her lord and master (Exo_21:7-11; 2Co_11:3; Eph_5:22-33; Col_3:18; 1Pe_3:5-7); that easy divorces were a common thing in those days among all nations; that Israel had been influenced greatly by such nations and was in the habit of getting divorces for the most frivolous excuses; and that Moses simply tolerated certain practices because of the hardness of the hearts of Israel. Hence, this law limiting divorce to “uncleanness” was needed.

Only those with a scriptural reason for divorce have the right to remarry. The man and woman who divorce without scriptural grounds cause sin by forcing each other to marry someone else. Paul gives one more scriptural reason for divorce—willful desertion because of Christ and the gospel (1 Corinthians 7:12-15).

 [then let him write her a bill of divorcement] Three commands—marriage and divorce:
1.    If you take a wife, and she finds no favor in your eyes because of some uncleanness, you may write a bill of divorcement, put it into her hand and send her out of your house.
2.    She may go and be another man’s wife (Deu_24:2).
3.    If the second husband hates her and writes her a bill of divorcement, or if he dies, the former husband may not remarry her, for she is defiled (Deu_24:4).
c    [him] It appears that only the man had the authority concerning divorce. By New Testament times, however, a woman had such authority under certain circumstances.”

 Christ’s disciples are not bound, not required to remain in a marriage where the partner departs, abandons, or commits adultery/fornication.

“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. 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?” 1 Corinthians 7:15-16

John Wesley on 1 Corinthians 7:15-16

“A brother or a sister – A Christian man or woman. Is not enslaved – is at full liberty. In such cases: but God hath called us to peace – To live peaceably with them, if it be possible.”

Adam Clarke on 1 Corinthians 7:15-16:

“But if the unbelieving, depart – Whether husband or wife: if such obstinately depart and utterly refuse all cohabitation, a brother or a sister – a Christian man or woman, is not under bondage to any particular laws, so as to be prevented from remarrying.”

 Dake on 1 Corinthians 7:15-16:

“[if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace] Here we have another legal and scriptural reason for divorce and remarriage. If the unbeliever refuses to live with a wife or husband because of Christianity and if he or she is determined to leave on this account, the Christian is not under further marriage bonds and is not held responsible or punished by requirement to remain single the rest of his or her life because of the rebellion of another. The Christian is to submit to the breaking of the marriage covenant under such circumstances.”

One of the characteristics of false teachers is laying undue burdens on other by way of their falsities.

“For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.” Matthew 23:4

Read Matthew 23 for the most severe lambasting on record from Christ.

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1

Lies, heresies, half-truths will bring one into bondage. Jesus says His truth makes free those who receive and obey it.

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. …  36  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:31-32, 36

The Blessing of Being Born of God, Born Again [podcast]


QUESTION:

“What does it mean to be ‘born again’?”

REPLY:

Great question. I am praying for you now. Born again is the same as regeneration we see in Titus 3:5-7. When the sinner (ALL of us) comes to God humbly, in repentance, turning his life to the LORD, and putting all of his faith now in Jesus Christ alone, God does a miracle in the person’s life – a change on the inside that is unmistakable and transforms that persons nature and life forever. From that moment onward, Christ reigns in that person’s life, filling him with love, joy, peace, etc. (Galatians 5:22-23). The LORD works from the inside out. First He saves, washes our sins away, and then dwells in that newly saved, born again temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

To be born again you have to go to God directly…. admitting you have sinned against Him, and receive Jesus into your life. It has to be personal. Religions are designed to keep you from God while claiming to be the way to God. Beware.

“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3

“Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again (2nd birth).” John 3:7

“The birth for which Christ contends is from above – by the agency of the Holy Spirit. Every man must have two births, one from heaven, the other from earth – one of his body, the other of his soul: without the first he cannot see nor enjoy this world, without the last he can not see nor enjoy the kingdom of God. As there is an absolute necessity that a child should be born into the world, that he may see its light, contemplate its glories, and enjoy its good, so there is an absolute necessity that the soul should be brought out of its state of darkness and sin, through the light and power of the grace of Christ, that it may be able to see, or, to discern, the glories and excellencies of the kingdom of Christ here, and be prepared for the enjoyment of the kingdom of glory hereafter. The Jews had some general notion of the new birth; but, like many among Christians, they put the acts of proselytism, baptism, etc., in the place of the Holy Spirit and his influence: they acknowledged that a man must be born again; but they made that new birth to consist in profession, confession, and external washing.

The new birth which is here spoken of comprehends, not only what is termed justification or pardon, but also sanctification or holiness. Sin must be pardoned, and the impurity of the heart washed away, before any soul can possibly enter into the kingdom of God. As this new birth implies the renewing of the whole soul in righteousness and true holiness, it is not a matter that may be dispensed with: heaven is a place of holiness, and nothing but what is like itself can ever enter into it.” Adam Clarke

“I can remember after getting saved my friends and my family immediately saying ‘what happened to her?’ There was an immediate and complete change in me. God cleaned me from the inside out. I was made brand new! And people noticed. My family asked ‘What has happened to her?’ Does anyone know? Yes! Jesus happened to me!! Alleluia!” Karen Cochran

YOUR PRAYER TO GOD TO BE SAVED, TO BE FORGIVEN Are You Ready to be Saved? Okay here’s a prayer to be God’s child. You have to admit the obvious, that you have sinned against God and turn to Him fully, turn your life over to Him who made you. And confess Jesus Christ as the new LORD and Savior of your life. Pray this …

Your Prayer to God … You must honestly admit your sins and receive Christ… Apply His holy blood to your life so that you may be saved, forgiven, and live eternally with Him. You must completely turn your life over to Him in repentance and faith. Now, pray the following prayer to God with all that is within you, from your heart and out loud:….

Dear heavenly Father, right now, if never before, I come to You as a broken and sinful person. Thank You for sending Your only begotten Son to die in my place for my sins. Thank You Jesus for coming to this earth to die and rise again to rescue me from sin and eternal hell and to save me for Your eternal glory. Right this moment, if never before, I receive You LORD Jesus. Come in and take over my whole life. I am all Yours and You are all mine. I love You Jesus and I will follow You from this moment forward till I am with You in Heaven forever! Please use me to help others know You dear LORD. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.


How do we know someone is “born of God”?

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18  And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; … Now then we are ambassadors for Christ…” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18, 20

First off, if you are born again, you are changed from the inside out … you desire to do God’s will now…. and are learning the need for the cross, the daily crucified life (Luke 9:23-25).

Let us remember that the biblical words “born again” (John 3:3, 7),  “born of God” (1 John 4:7), “regeneration,” and being a “new creature” in Christ go hand in hand or we can say, are synonymous.

“Born of God” appears 6 times in God’s Word and are all found in the book of 1 John:

1 John 3:9
Whosoever is BORN OF GOD doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is BORN OF GOD.

Those who are “born of God” do not live in sin. They repent or return (turn back) to the LORD, confessing all sin. If not they will “fall away” and be outside of Christ (Luke 8:13). See Can a Born Again Man be Un-Born Again? [podcast]


1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is BORN OF GOD, and knoweth God.

Those who are “born of God” walk in His love toward others.


1 John 5:1
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is BORN OF GOD: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

Those who repent and believe upon Christ are “born of God” and they love all other of Christ’s saints.


1 John 5:4
For whatsoever is BORN OF GOD overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Those who are “born of God” overcome this fallen world. By present and perpetual faith, they “overcometh the world.”


1 John 5:18
We know that whosoever is BORN OF GOD sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

Those “born of God” do not live in sin. Rather, they “keepeth” themselves from sin and therefore Satan. This is accomplished by what we read in 1 John 1 and 2 – which spells out the walk of the true disciple of Jesus.

MAY GOD bless each disciple of Jesus today to abide in Christ by walking crucified and raised up by Him today (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). May “the fruit of the Spirit”, the “Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance” be abundantly produced in the life of every saint of Jesus! May it be 100 fold LORD! (John 15) If you have been drawn in by Christ (John 6:44; 12:32), have repented (Luke 13:3), have received Christ (John 1:12), and are born again (John 3:3), you are bought by the precious blood of the LORD Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:17-18).

YOUR PRAYER: Heavenly Father, You found and saved me into Your eternal kingdom by way of the precious blood of Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. I stop this life here and now, and I give You praise. I love You LORD Jesus. I am no longer my own but Yours. I am crucified with Christ. Please work in me both to will and to do of Your good pleasure. I am all Yours LORD and I know You are all mine! Please fill this vessel with Your Holy Ghost afresh, and please use me. In Jesus’ name, amen Master Jesus!

From brother Juan:

“Glory to God, brother! We know that the Word of God is not imprisoned. Jeremiah was in the prison courtyard, and God said, ‘Call to me, and I will answer you and tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.’ And we know that the word of God never returns empty; it always fulfills its purpose, brother. So we fully trust that God will do the work to expand His kingdom for His honor and glory. To Him be all the honor, brother. Blessings.” Juan






“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10

Jesus Calling Devotional Exposed: 10 Things You Might Not Know

“I know so many who are so deceived by this book!! The author is a woman and she makes Jesus sound like your boyfriend who is so in love with you he can’t bare a minute without you! It is sickening! Plus she says the Bible was not enough for her. She needed more. This author died and if she did repent of her blasphemy against a holy God she is burning in hell as we speak. There are not two Jesus’s! This book presents a weak, tolerant of all your sin, pathetic, spineless ‘Jesus.’ This false ‘Jesus’ just sits in heaven google-eyed over you and how much He can’t live one minute without you in His presence! This is opposite of the fierce Christ who calls out sin and hypocrisy, who took a whip to the money changers and flipped over tables in righteous anger! Mathew 23 shows us some of the most severe rebukes in all the New Testament. This is the Jesus true disciples chose to follow! May this new documentary open the eyes of many so-called Christians to how demonic and evil this book is.” Karen Cochran

 

BEWARE of the Jesus Calling devotional book which is written by a full blown heretic, Sarah Young. This book continually assures things to lost souls (catholics, etc.) reserved only for the true Christian. It promises salvation, assurance, grace, mercy, the glory of God, etc to lost hell bound idolatrous sinners. Like antichrist Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life book, Jesus Calling never calls sinners to repent which is a Gospel essential and without which God will never save any soul from sin and hell (Luke 13:3, 5). You will never hear Jesus’ born again commanded or command to repent in this heretical devotional book title Jesus Calling. This monstrosity simply confirms sinners in their sin, sealing their doom in the lake of fire (Jeremiah 23:17; Lamentations 2:14, etc.).

Sarah Young is just another self-willed false prophet who does “ministry” her way, not God’s, in order to sell books and to mislead eternal souls into eternal damnation.

The blessings of God in Christ’s salvation are reserved only for those born again “in Christ,” and never for hell bound religious idolaters (John 15:7; 2 Corinthians 1:20; 2 Peter 1:1-4, etc.). 


Stacy Strother writes:

Her subtly, deceptive, doctrinally corrupt fairy tale version of what she calls bible studies for all the different ages of people, including children’s bible studies, teen and other, are found in the book stores—shelves filled full.

She is deceived, a false witness, False bible teacher, and has not heard from our Jesus—the Christ, Son of the living God, of which, is the very Word of God.

She hears from demons. Period! She needs to REPENT, and be born again! Please Lord Jesus, help her see her own demise!”

FEEDBACK:

“Solid Biblical refutation of the “New Age ” nonsense passing itself off as the latest thing God is doing. In our area a number of Churches have embraced this and other similar material with no discernment to the un-biblical nature of this drivel. Thank God for Warren B. Smith and others who provide an inestimable service to the Body of Christ as “watchmen on the wall.” Pastor Tom, West Harrison NY”
