William Ewart Gladstone
(29 December 1809 – 19 May 1898) was a British Liberal statesman. In a career lasting over sixty years, he served as Prime Minister four times (1868–1874, 1880–1885, February-July 1886 and 1892–1894), more than any other person. Gladstone was 84 years old - still physically vigorous albeit with failing hearing and eyesight - when he resigned for the last time, making him Britain's oldest Prime Minister. He also served as Chancellor of the Exchequer four times (1853–1855, 1859–1866, 1873–1874, and 1880–1882).
The Matrimonial Causes Act 1857 brought him back. In theory, the State still held marriage to be indissoluble: in practice divorce had long been possible by the expensive and cumbrous method of a private Parliamentary Bill. Practically, the law said one thing and Parliament another; and the proposal now was to create legal facilities and grounds for divorce. In the Quarterly Review for July, 1857, titled THE BILL OF DIVORCE (pdf pages 64-123) Gladstone presented a convincing argument for the indissolubility of marriage from Scripture, history and practical policy. He knew it was a hopeless fight, but that made no difference to principle. He was charged with gross inconsistency in drawing a distinction between Church and State, and their respective laws: once again his opponents did not realize that he had outgrown his earlier belief in a Christian state, and had been large-minded enough to change his outlook. The fact stands out boldly as a result of the controversy that Mr. Gladstone believed as firmly in the sanctity of marriage and its indissolubility as he did in any doctrine of the Christian Church. Further, though perhaps he would not have used the phrase, he regarded the State that permitted re-marriage after divorce as apostate from the Christian standard. |

Divorce — The Scandal of the Evangelical ConscienceBy Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr
Evangelical Christians are gravely concerned about the family, and this is good and necessary. But our credibility on the issue of marriage is significantly discounted by our acceptance of divorce. To our shame, the culture war is not the only place that an honest confrontation with the divorce culture is missing. Divorce is now the scandal of the evangelical conscience. A Missing Front in the Culture War? A Conversation about DivorceBy Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr

Dr Leslie McFall "Jesus may come across as hard-hearted, dogmatic and unyielding, but we have the Holy Spirit to live out the life of forgiveness, and if we forgive ALL their sins (even adulterers), then there is no room for divorce, which is a statement of an unforgiving heart, which cannot be in any Christian" - Dr. Leslie McFall "We need to get a perfect understanding of what true forgiveness implies for the man or woman "in Christ". There are no exceptive clauses in Jesus' teaching about forgiveness. People want to create exceptional circumstances where divorce is possible. There are no such grounds if he is a true follower of Jesus, and has the Holy Spirit abiding in him".- Dr. Leslie McFall Harmonized (McFall) No-Divorce View Matthew 19:9 <<<<EXCELLENT RESEARCH WORK>>>> Dr. Leslie McFall, Researcher in Biblical Studies (UK) Debunking the Mat 19 "Exception Clause" via the Greek!

KNOWLEDGE BUILDINGHosea 4:6 (King James Version)My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:because thou hast rejected knowledge,I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God,I will also forget thy children.- Align our will with God's will, look at marriage from his perpective only, that is "from the beginning" - creational. - Understand the absolute permanency of a covenant relationship Lawful (God's Law) Covenant Marriages are Indissolvable "Till Death Do Us Part" NOT "Till Divorce Do Us Part" Covenantal Attitude NOT Contractual Attitude Hebrew Mindset NOT Western Mindset Know what a true covenant is. Do not redefine it! - To those who say we are no longer under the "law" but are under "grace" that allows the remarriage of divorced persons. - A strong warning to you - You are preaching and practicing "lawlessness" 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, 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 Moral law. John the Baptist told in no uncertain terms King Herod his marriage to Herodias was unlawful, John The Baptist lost his head, because he stood up against unlawful marriages.

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” Please watch their satirical message and judge for yourself… |

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 - 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.

FREE DOWNLOADS Marriage Divorce Remarriage (MDR) Do you feel uneasy, unsettled, sense something is wrong with society and the Church today? You are not alone. Selected books and articles below are FREE to download. Marriage, Divorce & Remarriage 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

Most say, I had never known this.. 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.

The Betrothal View of Divorce and Remarriage Dr. David W. Jones, Associate Professor of Christian Ethics (USA) 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.

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...... |
