CREATIONAL MARRIAGE

COVENANT RELATIONSHIP

John Wesley said

"Before I can preach love, mercy and grace, I must preach sin, law and judgement"

He (Jesus) saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts

suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. Matthew 19:8 KJV

Therefore this means:

Any marriage entered into by any man or woman who has a living pre-existing husband or wife,
is considered to be the sin of adultery. It is not a one-flesh covenant marriage.
It must be repented of and forsaken, according to the Scriptures.

Apostle Paul wrote:

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. Romans 7:3 KJV

 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, Nor thieves, nor covetous,

nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified

in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV

Please note:

When we write lawful, we mean in respect of the legal discipline of God's law.
(Law of the The Lord, The Law of Liberty, Royal Law).
This is not to be confused with Moses Law or current marriage laws of a nation or state today.

John the Baptist told in no uncertain terms King Herod his marriage to Herodias was unlawful,
meaning that he was breaking at least one (adultery) of the Ten Commandments (Gods Law).

John The Baptist lost his head, because he stood up against unlawful marriages.

Salome with the head of John the Baptist, Caravaggio, c. 1607. National Gallery, London.

The Pro-Gay Marriage Movement

correctly points out that the professing Church

is hypocritical when it comes to marriage.

They say, “The problems with both the Christian Right's rhetoric and agenda on

gay marriage can be revealed most readily by comparing gay marriage with divorce”

California Proposition 8 (2008) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Proposition 8 was a California ballot proposition that changed the state Constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman and eliminated the right of same-sex couples to marry.

 

Cheap Grace

Cheap Grace is the idea that "grace" did it all for me so I do not need to change my lifestyle.

The believer who accepts the idea of "cheap grace" thinks he can continue to live like the rest of the world.

Instead of following Christ in a radical way, the Christian lost in cheap grace thinks

he can simply enjoy the consolations of his grace.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

 

Quote's - Leonard Ravenhill

“The Bible is either absolute or obsolete.”


“Is your main ambition in life to be on the Devil’s most wanted list?”


“When there is something in the Bible churches don’t like, they call it Legalism.”


“You can have all your doctrines right—yet still not have the presence of God.”


“A popular evangelist reaches your emotions. A true prophet reaches your conscience.”

 

 

Quote - R.A Torrey

"Look at the legalized adultery we call divorce.

Men marry one wife after another and are still admitted into good society;

and women do likewise. There are thousands of supposedly respectable men

in American living with other men's wives, and thousands of supposedly respectable women

living with other women's husbands." - R. A. Torrey

From R.A. Torrey's book How to Pray, pages 94-95 R.A. Torrey (1856-1928)

was a very well-known Christian writer, evangelist, pastor,

graduate of Yale University, and was also the superintendent of Moody Bible Institute for 19 years.

Marriage, Divorce & Remarriage Added January 2010

Brother Dean Taylor has written a brilliant short booklet of only 51 pages as he addresses most of the major questions on this topic.

"Generations of families, churches and even whole denominations have been birthed into this inherited position. Yet I believe it is not too late to make a change. Once the problem is admitted, churches might differ on how to respond to it; however, at the very least, a church-wide moratorium on remarriage alone could turn the tide of this epidemic completely around in one generation. One thing is certain, ignoring the situation will not make it go away" Brother Dean Taylor

 

Have You Not Read? Matthew 19:4          

Minister Casey Whitaker

 

“In his Have You Not Read, Casey Whitaker tackles one of the thorniest issues confronting the church today - marriage, divorce and remarriage. Upholding the authority of Scripture, Whitaker superbly presents the unambiguous teachings of Christ and His Apostles on this subject and - like the prophet of old - pleads with this generation of pastors and teachers to “see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it.” Have You Not Read answers a great need in the 21st century church.” Scott Coltrain, Teacher Hudson (FL) Church of Christ

Except For Fornication Clause of Matthew 19:9 Discussion      

Bob Mutch (Canada)

While the other scriptures (Mar 10:11, 12; Luk 16:18, Rom 7:2, 3; 1Cor 7:11, 39) are very clear on divorce and remarriage to most people Mat 5:32 and Mat 19:9 leave them puzzled. But once you are clear that Mat 19:9 is a exclusion to divorce and Mat 5:32 is a exception to blame not an exception to divorce and remarry it all fits together like a puzzel.

Are Biblical Covenants Dissoluble? Toward a Theology of Marriage

By Dr. David W. Jones and Dr. John K. Tarwater

The last fifteen years have witnessed an increase in the number of articles and books written on the covenantal nature of marriage. Despite the use of common terminology, theologians and ethicists have, thus far, inconsistently interpreted and applied what it means for marriage to be a covenant. No place is this disparity more evident than in the area of divorce and remarriage. To elaborate, while some authors allow for the termination of “covenant” marriage, others argue that the marriage bond is indissoluble because of its covenantal nature. These incongruous positions on the nature of marriage partially stem from biblical scholars’ inability to arrive at a consensus regarding the nature of biblical covenants.

Raymond Westbrook

The purpose of this article is to re-examine the law in Deuteronomy 24:1-4 forbidding a man to remarry the wife whom he had divorced and whose subsequent marriage has now come to an end to propose a new solution to the problem that has troubled commentators both ancient and modern: what was the rationale behind this curious rule?

 

Perspective Paper – On Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage  Added April 2009

FIREPROOF FALLS SHORT, and will cause Christians to stumble.

Many people will watch the movie FIREPROOF and be encouraged by its content, however we must warn and encourage people to take home only the content that lines up with the Word of God.

We must remind you of Saint John the Baptist's, fearless condemnation of Herod's unlawful marriage that incurred the hatred of the king's bride, Herodias. She had John the Baptist imprisoned and, finally, killed.

Again we say, any marriage entered into by any man or woman who has a living pre-existing husband or wife is not a one-flesh covenant marriage that is recognized by God, and is considered to be unlawful, and the sin of adultery, and must be repented of and forsaken, according to the Scriptures

Fireproof endorses adultery, what would John the Baptist have to say? Judge for yourself......

FIREPROOF's Adultery Endorsement

ALERT WARNING

Willful disobedience or open disrespect of others and or authority

 

"Could a mariner sit idle if he heard the drowning cry?
Could a doctor sit in comfort and just let his patients die?
Could a fireman sit idle, let men burn and give no hand?
Can you sit at ease in Zion with the world around you DAMNED?"
