π₯ Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I elaborate: my hostile encounter with an adulteress who confronted me while out evangelizing on this very topic! When I gave her the Word of the Lord on divorce and remarriage, she claims that cannot be true because the "Bible was written by men," therefore, thus, trying to delegitimize the authority of the sovereign Word of God that obviously convicted her! This adulteress also stated that God loves her even while in this sin. Not only that, but she blasphemed the Word of God as she strolled arm in arm with her illicit sexual partner, because that's not her husband, regardless of her claim! The Bible makes it clear (lest we become deceived and end up in a burning ):
π£ IF YOU REMARRY AND YOUR COVENANT SPOUSE (1ST SPOUSE) IS STILL ALIVE, LORD JESUS SAYS YOU ARE COMMITTING ADULTERY! AND NO ADULTERER WILL INHERIT GOD'S KINGDOM (STUDY 1 COR. 6:9-10, REV. 21:8, GAL. 5:19).
MARRIAGE IS FOR LIFE - ONLY DEATH ENDS THE COVENANT VOW!
Proverbs 30:20 paint an illustration of an adulterous woman who sees nothing wrong in what she is doing!!
"Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness." The wiping of her mouth does not involve a napkin β it is the covering of her tracks to avoid detection! The Lord already defined both "adultery" and "fornication" perfectly in Matthew 5:31-32 and Matthew 19:9.
Make no mistake, the remarriage after divorce is the "adultery!" That much, He made PERFECTLY clear in both verses. If additional clarification is required, these Scriptures are there to help:
Matthew 5:32, "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."
Mark 10:11-12, "And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery."
Luke 16:18, "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery."
Romans 7:2-3, "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 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."
1 Corinthians 7:10-11, "And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her 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.
v.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." Amen! π― REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
