[Brother Hicks’ Note: This article by Brother Dayton Huebner tells it like it is. No games are played and sin is not excused or sugar coated like 99% of people do today regarding the issue of divorce and adultery via “remarriage."]

 

I’ve heard every possible excuse divorced and remarried adulterers can come up with to justify their vile lifestyles. I’ll list the most common one’s I’ve received, and then give you the Bible’s response to such excuses.

 

1. My husband/wife committed adultery, therefore I can divorce him/her and remarry another person, and I won’t be committing adultery according to the Bible.

 

But Jesus said:

 

Mark 10:11,12 ¹¹And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. ¹²And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

 

And furthermore, Luke 16:18 CLEARLY STATES adultery committed by a spouse DOES NOT GIVE ALLOWANCE for the supposed “innocent party” to remarry without committing adultery and becoming an adulterer or an adulteress themselves. The innocent party is defined, by many, as the one who remained faithful in the marriage relationship and did not commit adultery against the other spouse. The “guilty party” is the spouse who committed adultery. Many try to say that adultery committed by their spouse with another party frees them to divorce and remarry based on Matthew 19:9, and they do this of course because they don’t understand that Matthew was a gospel written to the Jews, who had the custom of betrothal, and according to custom divorced a FIANCE they called their WIFE for the cause of FORNICATION. They want to justify their evil deeds and unforgiving, hardened, black as coal hearts! If one has a spouse that commits adultery one time or a thousand times we are COMMANDED TO FORGIVE INFINITE TIMES!!!!!

 

Matthew 18:21,22 ²¹ Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? ²² Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

 

With that said, what did Jesus say about such nonsense that one can divorce and remarry IF they have a spouse who committed adultery against them and God?

 

Luke 16:18 ¹⁸ Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

 

Jesus clearly teaches in Luke 16:18 that the popular interpretation of Matthew 19:9, that one can divorce and remarry for the cause of adultery being permitted by God, is FALSE TEACHING. Jesus clearly states IT IS NOT ALLOWED in Luke 16:18. Notice in Luke 16:18 that the husband obtained a legal divorce from his wife, and then remarried another woman according to the laws of man. Then Jesus goes on to say further that even though the husband IS COMMITTING ADULTERY that his INNOCENT WIFE MAY NOT REMARRY without causing whomever she marries to become an adulterer themselves, thus proving that divorce does nothing in the sight of God; that a man and a woman once married in the sight of God will NEVER AGAIN BE TWO, and will always be seen as married in the sight of God. Anyone who marries a divorcee instantly becomes an adulterer or an adulteress, which also means that the divorcee who marries becomes an adulterer or an adulteress as well. MARRIAGE IS FOR LIFE, and ONLY ENDS BY DEATH. So, adultery committed by a spouse IS NOT REASON for divorce and remarriage plain and clear!

 

Romans 7:2,3 ²For 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. ³So 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.

 

I Corinthians 7:39 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.

 

Paul clearly states TWICE in the New Testament that those married will ALWAYS BE MARRIED TILL DEATH SEPARATES THEM. That’s why anyone who divorces and remarries or marries a divorcee becomes an adulterer or an adulteress instantly, AND IS HELLBOUND as adulterers DO NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. So, these divorced and remarried or married to divorcee adulterers can claim to be saved all they want, but the word of God plainly states they are NOT SAVED until they REPENT of being adulterers and DEPART FROM THOSE ADULTEROUS MARRIAGES.

 

I Corinthians 6:9,10 ⁹ 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, ¹⁰ Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

 

Galatians 5:19-21 ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, ²⁰ Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, ²¹ Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

Paul states that adultery is a work of the flesh in Galatians 5:19-21, a condition that one needs to repent of and depart from, or the adulterer shall NOT reap eternal life, but SHALL REAP CORRUPTION.

 

Galatians 6:7,8 ⁷ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. ⁸For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

 

Can it be any clearer than that? NO, it can’t be! Adultery is a work of the flesh that if one does not DEPART FROM they shall NOT reap eternal life but SHALL REAP CORRUPTION. Many supposed Christians who are in fact divorced and remarried, or married to divorcee adulterers MOCK GOD, and say like the Jews did before them that they are saved (delivered) to commit this filthy abomination, but alas, the word of God REMAINS CLEAR.

 

Jeremiah 7:8-11 ⁸ Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. ⁹ Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; ¹⁰ And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? ¹¹ Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord.

 

The only way a person who is divorced can remarry is if their spouse has died, or if the person they divorced was previously a divorced person themselves, thus they were never really married in the first place but were in adultery. The fact that marriage is for life remains the key. Any man and woman who have NEVER been married before, when they come together and exchange vows, WHETHER THEY CLAIM TO BE SAVED OR NOT, when they exchange vows (Mal 2:13-16) God recognizes them as ONE FLESH (Mal 2:15; Matt 19:5,6; Mark 10:8), and they are then MARRIED FOR LIFE in the sight of God. NOTHING anyone can do, including marital infidelity or divorce on either married partners part (Luke 16:18), can separate that marriage. Only God says the marriage is ended, and that occurs at the DEATH of either spouse as previously shown. A husband or wife can commit adultery 50 times, and they haven’t broken that vow, they’ve only violated it! NOTHING breaks the marriage covenant BUT DEATH!

 

2. My husband/wife abuses me physically! Are you saying I have to remain with him/her and be hit by them and stay with them?

 

NO, of course not! The Lord says that if a party departs they must remain unmarried (single and NOT divorce and remarry), or be reconciled to their husband or wife!

 

I Corinthians 7:10-11 ¹⁰ 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.

 

Yes, it’s possible that a spouse can be cruel and unbearable to live with. This however DOES NOT FREE ONE TO DIVORCE AND REMARRY! A spouse that is being treated cruelly MAY SEPARATE from the abusive spouse but must REMAIN UNMARRIED, and not divorce. The only option that they have is to remain unmarried OR BE RECONCILED to their original “ONE FLESH” spouse!

 

3. My husband/wife abandoned me, and is an unbeliever; therefore I can divorce them and remarry.

a. I was not a Christian yet before I divorced and remarried, and I’m a Christian now, so I can go on in my present marriage after being divorced without being an adulterer or an adulteress.

 

This is total nonsense! Many make scripture contradict trying to claim such nonsense. Paul clearly says that the Lord COMMANDED HIM to say, let not the wife depart from the husband, and let not the husband put away his wife in I Corinthians 7:10-11, yet these people who have divorced and remarried already or who WANT to remarry after being abandoned/divorced by a spouse, try to twist the scripture to make allowance for remarriage where none exists.

 

They twist the scripture in I Corinthians 7: 12-16.

 

I Corinthians 7: 12-16 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. 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. 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. 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? ¹⁷ But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.

 

Paul just said previously in I Corinthians 7:10,11 that those who are married will always be married by commandment of the Lord Jesus himself, and the Lord’s teaching throughout the gospels clearly state that no divorce and remarriage is allowed for those who will be saved. Then these filthy divorce and remarriage advocates try to come in and wrest (twist) the scriptures unto their own destruction, trying to force the scripture into making allowance and thus justification for what these lovers of their own flesh want to do.

 

Peter even said that there are and would be those who attempt to wrest (twist) Paul’s epistles as well as other scriptures, unto their own DESTRUCTION.

 

II Peter 3:14-16 ¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. ¹⁵And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; ¹⁶ As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

 

 

Notice the word these people try to use to justify their evil desire to remarry after being abandoned ( the word “bondage”) does not give allowance for divorce and remarriage. These people, being filled with lust and desire, add to the scripture to justify their filthy whims. The phrase “A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases” in I Cor 7:15, does not give the right to divorce and remarry as many would like to claim. Jesus said very clearly that those married will ALWAYS be married in the gospels, and Paul confirms this in Romans 7:2,3 I Cor 7:10,11, and I Cor 7:39! Then Paul even says in I Cor 7:12-17 that EVEN THOUGH a believer IS MARRIED to an unbeliever, that they are NOT to divorce or depart from them. But if an unbelieving spouse WANTS TO DEPART, then they are to let them, as they are NOT UNDER BONDAGE in such situations. One HAS to remember that Paul wrote a letter to the Corinthian church in response to the questions they posed to him; that letter is I Corinthians. In the Corinthian church, all manner of vile wickedness was occurring, and one of these evils was believers marrying unbelievers. Christians are NOT to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers (I Cor 6:14), but EVEN IF THEY DO DISOBEY this command and choose to marry unbelievers or are have already married unbelievers before confessing Christ as saviour, they are STILL MARRIED in the sight of God with them till death parts them, provided of course the one to whom they married were not previously divorced themselves.

 

Jesus said VERY CLEARLY “WHOSOEVER DIVORCES AND REMARRIES COMMITS ADULTERY” in all the gospels. “Whosoever” means exactly that, “WHOSOEVER”, ANYONE AND EVERYONE, just like when he said “whosoever believeth in me shall not perish” in John 3:16! “Whosoever divorces” covers ALL persons legitimately married in God’s sight, and isn’t exclusive to whether one was a believer or an unbeliever before they married. So the excuse that a person wasn’t saved before they divorced and remarried, and that unbelievers marriages are not recognized by God is a lie from the pit of hell. If God didn’t recognize unbelievers marriages, then why on earth did John the Baptist lose his head warning heathen, reprobate, God hating Herod of his marriage to his brother Philip’s wife Herodias?

 

Matthew 14:1-11 ¹ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, ² And said unto his serva nts, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

³ For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. ⁴ For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. ⁵And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. ⁶ But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. ⁷ Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. ⁸ And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. ⁹ And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. ¹⁰ And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. ¹¹ And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

 

What law was John the Baptist talking about? He wasn’t talking about Jewish Law, as Herod wasn’t a Jew! And John certainly wasn’t talking about Roman law either. John didn’t say to himself, “Herod isn’t saved anyway, therefore he is not married anyway, and neither is his brother Philip married to Herodias anyway not being saved”. John was proclaiming God’s law of the marriage to Herod, and that Philip and Herodias WERE STILL MARRIED in the sight of God! This is the SAME THING PAUL SAID regarding God’s law of the marriage!

 

Romans 7:2,3 ²For 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. ³So 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.

 

I Corinthians 7:39 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.

 

God’s law of the marriage is universal and is binding on ALL first marriages. ONLY WHEN a man who has never been married before, and a woman who has never married before come together, does God make THAT MARRIAGE legititmate and binding! If someone marries a divorcee who ALREADY was married to a person before who was also NEVER married before, then they INSTANTLY become an ADULTERER OR AN ADULTERESS according to Jesus! Don’t get mad at me if you don’t like this, JESUS HIMSELF SAID IT!

 

4. God doesn’t want us to BURN with passion if we have divorced; therefore it’s better to marry than to have this lust and passion.

 

The unsaved state of such people who proclaim such wicked ideas and thoughts quickly becomes evident. HOWEVER Paul said the following:

 

I Cor 7:8,9 ⁸ I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. ⁹ But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

 

These filthy people who say such nonsense totally throw aside all verses already dealing with those who are married. Those verses PLAINLY SAY those who ARE MARRIED will ALWAYS BE MARRIED, and they are not to divorce or depart, but if they do, they must remain UNMARRIED OR BE RECONCILED! Then these people having no comprehension of what Jesus and Paul have said, so they promptly turn around and say Paul said that they can get married if the lust they have is too great to bare! WHAT UTTER NONSENSE!!! God is NOT the author of confusion and scripture DOESN’T CONTRADICT!

 

There is no Greek word describing a male widow, so Paul used the word “unmarried” to describe male widows, and then used the word “widows”, for female widows. Historically Paul was a widow himself, which explains why he said just before I Cor 7:8,9, verse 7;

 

I Corithians 7:7 ⁷ For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

 

So in summary Paul was speaking to male and female widows in verses 8 and 9, and NOT to divorced persons.

 

5. If I marry after being divorced, I have not sinned Paul said according to I Corinthians 7:28.

 

 

It never ceases to amaze me the things adulterers come up with to justify their vile lifestyles. These filthy adulterers would LOVE to have Paul contradict with the Lord Jesus Christ, and that is IMPOSSIBLE!

 

I Timothy 6:3-5 ³ If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; ⁴ He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, ⁵ Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

 

Paul himself PLAINLY STATES, that if any man teach contrary to the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, and his doctrines INCLUDING DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE BEING ADULTERY, they are proud and KNOW NOTHING; are perverse and of corrupt mind destitute of the truth!

 

So it’s obvious that Paul NEVER contradicts the doctrine and words of Jesus Christ his saviour as these filthy adultery lovers would like to believe.

 

The simple truth of the matter is, these people don’t understand the scriptures, nor how to read them. They don’t know that scripture doesn’t contradict and have no understanding of how to interpret them.

 

Paul dealt with the discussion of marriage in an orderly manner in I Corinthians 7. First Paul speaks to those who are married and widows through I Cor 7:1-24, then he speaks to the VIRGINS or those who have NEVER BEEN MARRIED in I Cor 7:25-40!

 

I Corinthians 7:25-28 ²⁵ Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. ²⁶ I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be. ²⁷ Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. ²⁸ But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

 

Paul is dealing those who are engaged to a wife in verse 27, “Art thou bound unto a wife?” This is a reference to ENGAGEMENT, and is NOT referring to those who are married! REMEMBER, Paul was a JEW, a Pharisee to be specific, and he was speaking using his Pharisee terminology. The Jews held the custom of betrothal, and called the fiancé the husband if male, and wife if female. Read Matthew 1:18-25 and see that even though Joseph was only ESPOUSED (engaged) to be married to Mary, he was called her husband, and Mary was called his wife. What Paul was saying that is if one is engaged (bound) to a fiancé (wife) they shouldn’t seek to get out of that agreement, and if they are free and not engaged (loosed from a wife), they shouldn’t seek to be married. BUT if they do marry being virgins, that is totally up to them and is acceptable, but they will have trouble in the flesh, referencing the difficulties involved in the marital relationship.

 

The only people who qualify for marriage are widows, and person’s who have NEVER BEEN MARRIED BEFORE.

 

6. Paul said that if I come to the Lord I’m a new creature in Christ, and that if I have been divorced and have remarried before becoming a Christian, I’m to stay in the marriage I’m in based on I Cor 7:24 and II Cor 5:17.

 

Again, more contradictory nonsense from adultery lovers (it never ceases to amaze me what they come up with).

 

Looking at II Cor 5:17 we find that it PLAINLY SAYS:

 

II Corinthians 5:17 ¹⁷ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

 

What Paul clearly said is that IF any man (anyone) be in Christ they are a new creature, and old things are passed away and all things become new! Simply meaning that those who are saved HAVE DEPARTED from filthy abominations such as adultery, and do not try to say they are delivered (saved) to continue in filthy abominations and remain unrepentant in reality! If someone refuses to DEPART from an adulterous marriage, they are clearly NOT A NEW CREATURE because they haven’t repented of ALL THEIR SINS YET! It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure it out. Salvation occurs the moment we believe in Jesus and decide to depart from all of our sins and abandoned all that the Lord says is sin!

 

Isaiah 55:6-9 ⁶Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: ⁷ Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

⁸For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. ⁹For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

 

It is abundantly clear that sin REMAINS until it is departed from! To say that one is saved and to continue in blatant sin is in fact MOCKING GOD, and he won’t be mocked (Gal 6:7-8; Jude 17-19).

 

Proverbs 28:13 ¹³ He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

 

Confessing AND FORSAKING, NOT JUST CONFESSING! Can a sodomite, drunkard or thief say they have CONFESSED their sin, and now they may continue in it? NOPE! Yet filthy adultery loving hypocrites say they can continue in their adultery and are forgiven, but other sinners MUST DEPART from their sin! That is HYPOCRITICAL and shows the vileness of these disgusting hellbound sinners who hate God and mock the blood of Jesus loving their own filthy passion!

 

Again let’s look at Jeremiah 7:8-11, verses that clearly illustrate that the excuse that God gives special privileges to those who believe in him to commit ABOMINATIONS SUCH AS DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE (ADULTERY) is NOT going to work for them!!!

 

Jeremiah 7:8-11 ⁸ Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. ⁹ Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; ¹⁰ And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? ¹¹ Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord.

 

These filthy adultery lovers are nothing more than hypocrites, and all hypocrites SHALL BE JUDGED ACCORDINGLY!

 

Matthew 24:51 ⁵¹ And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

 

Additionally these reprobates say in I Cor 7:24 that if they come to the Lord being filthy adulterers they are supposed to continue in their adulterous marriages! WHAT WILL THESE FILTHY PEOPLE COME UP WITH NEXT? It amazes me these people have any ability to carry on in the simplest of tasks having no knowledge to comprehend basic logical principles.

 

First let’s look at the verse they cling to to justify their disgusting lifestyles:

 

I Corinthians 7:24 ²⁴ Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

 

Now let’s have a little fun with the logic of these filthy people who says such nonsense, that they should remain in their adulterous marriages if they come to believe in Jesus after having divorced and remarried (committing adultery).

 

Applying the same logic these disgusting people use to justify their sinful lifestyles, the following would also apply!

 

A. Sodomites can stay in their sodomite relationships once they believe in Jesus, and don’t need to depart from them.

 

B. The drunkard can say he believes in Jesus and now may continue in drinking himself/herself into oblivion.

 

C. The murderer can say he believes in Jesus and now he can go on killing people and God understands he cannot help it.

 

D. The fornicator (one who has sex and never has married before), can continue to have pre marital sex, and is still saved and delivered to have sex with whomever they want and are not held accountable to CEASE committing fornication.

 

That should suffice to prove to any simpleton that proclaiming such nonsense is ridiculous! Sin remains UNTIL it is departed from plain and simple!

 

Also, notice the context of what Paul said BEFORE I Cor 7:24!

 

I Corinthians 7:17-24 ¹⁷ But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. ¹⁸ Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. ¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing, a nd uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. ²⁰ Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. ²¹ Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. ²² For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. ²³ Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. ²⁴ Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

 

Paul just said in verses 1-16 of I Cor 7 that those who ARE MARRIED MUST NOT DIVORCE OR DEPART, and if they do, they must either remain UNMARRIED (NOT REMARRY) OR BE RECONCILED to their TRUE SPOUSES! Then these filthy people come along and say that since they become saved NOW they can continue in their adultery. BUT PAUL DIDN’T SAY THAT!!! Paul is merely saying that these people who HAVE MARRIED MUST WALK wherein they are called! If they are married, EVEN TO UNBELIVERS, they must NOT divorce or depart from them, but if they do they must remain unmarried or be reconciled! It’s as plain as day for anyone who isn’t trying to make themselves comfortable in their disgusting vile adulterous remarriages. Some of these filthy people tell me they have been divorced and remarried up to 3 times!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! Hell has it’s arms wide open for such disgusting people for certain, unless they have it in their being to humble themselves before God, and obey his command for them to depart from all He deems sin!

 

I’ve covered all the major excuses, but I’m sure to be flooded with more, and I will add them as they come. I only pray that there are some who take Christianity seriously, and the warnings of the word of God gravely serious, and will depart from their adulterous marriages before it’s too late.
