Some folks handicap themselves and deny themselves full life because of corrupt and misinterpretation of Scriptures and their Churches’ twisted “opinions” about marriage and divorce.

GOD made the woman for the man and ordained their moral and physical union in HIS institution of marriage. And what YHVH purposed to become one flesh, no Apostolic Movement, Denominational Faith or religious Christian entity has the right to hinder, change or prevent. WHO GOD JOINS TOGETHER, NO ONE CAN CAUSE TO BE SEPARATED. The emphasis is on “WHO GOD JOINED TOGETHER.”

Those who change GOD’S Seventh-Day Sabbath to the first day of the week and who defy GOD by changing His assigned male gender role in the office of pastor to that of female, are in no moral position to judge anyone’s morally justified divorce and marriage. That is GOD’S Business. And Churches and Pastors aren’t GOD although many believers have given themselves over to them as if they were.

The HOLY SPIRIT will Guide Us Into All of GOD’S TRUTH – not our churches or our Pastors – But The HOLY SPIRIT.

REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME (AUTHORITY) OF THE HOLY MESSIAH AS OPPOSED TO BEING BAPTIZED INTO A CHURCH OR BELIEF SYSTEM IN HIS NAME.

And diligently seek the promised gift of the HOLY SPIRIT. Without whom our thinking remains human in origin and our understanding remains darkened by religion. Only the HOLY teacher can reveal GOD’S HOLY TRUTH. Everything else is just theological conjecture and man’s failed intellectual attempt at Scriptural interpretation and prognostication.

We need to remind ourselves that in CHRIST, we are all made to be new creatures. And as new creatures in the HOLY MESSIAH, we are under new management – the HOLY SPIRIT.

The problem with some believers is that they are under the management of their churches and Pastors.

So why are you allowing the stinking thinking of lost manmade churches and doctrines of demons to dictate your salvation, happiness and fulfillment?

REPENT!

IF INDEED YOU ARE BORN AGAIN, TRUST IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.

REPENT!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!

2 Timothy 3:6-7 (NIV)

⁶They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, ⁷always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Perhaps the reason that there are so many divorced, unmarried and spinster women in some of our Apostolic type churches is that they have been shamed, embarrassed, guilt-ridden, threatened and ridiculed into absolute submission and servitude to their godlike Pastor and religious institutions or church facilities.

I have been studying this ungodly phenomenon for some time now, and it is my educated observation that some religious leaders regardless of their façade of good intentions have allowed themselves and their churches to be idolized and their congregants enslaved to them, their false doctrines, their misinterpretation of Scripture and their ideologies on marriage and marriage after divorce. Some Pastors have perpetuated and exemplified the same domineering, judgmental, controlling and violent spirit of an abusive husband over the females of their congregations. In a real sense, they are committing the hedonistic practice of spiritual polygamy and religious idolatry where the woman regards them as their Husband-Priests and the Church Institution as her home to which she must serve diligently and faithfully or face being condemned and ostracized or excommunicated by her Priest (Pastor) or church institution and its fellowship. Many women have unknowingly been seduced into an abusive relationship and a substitute marriage.

How can any real man accept and marry any woman who is already married to another man? How can any REAL MAN give himself to a woman who is more severely devoted to her Pastor-husband and his church institution than to him?

There can be only one man-priest in a godly marriage. Regardless of how inadequate he may be or how unsaved his current condition may be, God made him to be the head of the woman and the home and not to be second fiddle to any other man or priest with regards to his wife and family.

Ephesians 5:22-24 Complete Jewish Bible

²²Wives should submit to their husbands as they do to the Lord; ²³because the husband is head of the wife, just as the Messiah, as head of the Messianic Community, is himself the one who keeps the body safe. ²⁴Just as the Messianic Community submits to the Messiah, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Women have to wake-up to the deceptions of Satan and Become More Aware of the Subtle and Clandestine System of Wickedness That Has infiltrated The Christian Faith in the name of holiness and sexual purity while perverting both. (Mathew 7:21-23) Women must be made aware of the satanic system of false Christian faiths and doctrinal practices that have robbed them of their childbearing years and of their intended male spouses and of knowing the love of a REAL Man. Women must be made aware of the devil’s devices of stealing, killing and destroying them. Some folks already know deep down in their souls that there is something wrong with their Christian religion and its doctrine of forbidding the marriage of morally righteous and legitimate divorcees. They feel it in their emptiness and unmarried lives. They are constantly trying to convince themselves and others of their doctrine that forbids marriage to a morally legitimate divorcee. (No Such Example or Practice Exist In Holy Scripture Text).

God is LOVE. God is LIFE. God Is Forgiveness. God is Peace. God is happiness and God is ONE. In CHRIST, ALL CAN BE MADE NEW AGAIN. Amen.

God made us – Male and Female – to be “ONE” like Him. And we are designed by Father YHVH to be drawn to the opposite sex for our good as well as for our good pleasure. And He has not written or created any statute or LAW that would hinder or oppose His divine institution of real divine love, marriage and family. God is absolutely just and righteous and He would never punish the innocent along with the ungodly or guilty. Only a unsaved human mind and twisted carnal spirit would conjecture that GOD would forbid marriage between a man and woman because one or both of them have had former spouses. The emphasis is on “Former” – none existence and not viable or in the present.

Parenthetically, we know that GOD’S WORD and LAW are Eternal and they do not contradict themselves. However, many believers are confused and fooled about marriage after divorce because they do not know the WORD of TRUTH. I urgently recommend that we study and read Deuteronomy 24:1-4 and remember that if our theology or ideology can dismiss God’s Eternal Word in any way, then we are not believers but we are doubters. If God’s WORD is found to be untrue in any part, then it is suspect and unreliable in its entirety.

Regardless of being the victim of adultery and/or infidelity, women and men alike are encouraged by the Holy Scriptures to marry and serve the needs of each other within the parameters of God’s Purpose and Design for men and women.

I think it is a sad and heinous reality that so many beautiful and well-intentioned females and potentially godly mothers and wives are subject to dark powers that sit on the pulpit of their religious Christian experience and forbid them to marry divorcees or to marry again after being divorced. It is sinful that so many women are emotionally scarred and sexually twisted by doctrines of demons and controlling, unsaved, confused and clueless spiritual leaders. (1 Timothy 4:3)

Without realizing it, many women have turned their Pastors into their pimps and their idol gods. No REAL MAN wants that kind of woman for a spouse. Her loyalties are divided and her love for him – if she truly loves him – is tainted by the scent of another man or controlling Christian institution.

Furthermore, it is my confirmed observation that many of these spiritually and institutionally enslaved women have turned to other acts of sexual expression and gratification that are not natural and are worse and more damnable than the misconceived offenses of marrying a legitimately divorced man or engaging in natural sex with an intended spouse. Many of these deceived women practice oral sex under the delusion that they are still pure and holy as long as they don’t have vaginal sex. They are grossly mistaken.

Satan, through some of his Christian ministers disguised as angels of light, has turned many well-intentioned and initially pure and holy women into something base, confused, perverted, filthy, disgusting, lost and angry.

If this is you in any way, shape or manner, please REPENT!

GOD Loves You Enough To Allow You To Be Loved By Somebody Who Truly Loves You. But It Is Totally Up To You.

We live in an imperfect and wicked world with more lies and deceptions confronting us every day. If God sends you someone or if God allows a man to find you and he is willing to love you like Christ loves His Bride, then I suggest that you forsake all others – including the Pastor and His Church if necessary – and give yourself an opportunity to be all that you were created be in Christ as opposed to being limited to what some Pastor or church dictates that you should be.

And as you move out of Christian slavery, spiritual darkness, spiritual insanity and sexual perversions into the purpose and Spirit of YHVH’S Holy Truth and LOVE, remember that your peace, justification, salvation and righteousness comes only from God through Christ and not from your Pastor, church, family, community or acquaintances.

Because GOD Loves You I Tell You The Truth.

You deserve to be loved, desired, cherished and admired by a man who truly will lay down his life for you. (Ephesians 5:23-25)

REPENT!

THE GREAT DEBATE ABOUT DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE – A DIVINE REVELATION

If you don’t know where the conversation began or what the context of the whole conversation is you are more likely than not to misunderstand and misinterpret the isolated parts of the conversation that you did hear. Furthermore, you are in danger of misapplying any instructions that you may have heard because you don’t know the initial premise upon which the entire conversation rests. And like any story told over and over again by different people, over time it become corrupted and it never ends up the way that the Author told it, especially in the case of those who are unfamiliar with the mind and thoughts of the Author.

A little education is a dangerous thing, especially in the hands of self-righteous, legalistic zealots whose zeal is not according to divine revelation (Knowledge).

I wish to speak more on this from the aspect of marriage and divorce and a Saint’s right to marry again after a morally legitimate divorce – one who is divorced because of a breach of the marriage contract vows through sexual uncleanness and/or infidelity in the marriage. (Ref. Deuteronomy 24:1-4, Matthew 5:32, 1 Corinthians 7:15 and 1 Corinthians 7:9)

It is well-known that some of the Baptist, Pentecostal, Catholic, Protestant, Apostolic, Holiness, Evangelical Churches frown upon and condemn marriage after divorce without knowing GOD’S divine qualifications for divorce and without understanding GOD’S definitions of “husband” and “wife.” Many Christians and so-called Saints assume that the legal civil union of a man and woman constitutes and sanctions them as husband and wife but this is not so. The same-sex marriage laws prove that legitimate civil marriage doesn’t make anyone morally married or a husband or a wife. Only God Can Make Someone A Husband and Someone A Wife for Only God Rules Supreme In The Institution of Marriage – not Churches or Pastors or Civil Governments. I feel that I have the gift of divine revelation in this matter. And I am unbiased on this subject as I am not seeking to marry anyone and I deem myself sold out for CHRIST and married to HIS Gospel.

I think that it would be wonderful to hear what GOD actually says consistently about marriage and divorce and remarriage out of HIS HOLY WORD which does not change. After all, GOD alone instituted Marriage – not organized Christian churches or Christian Institutions and denominations or so-called none denominational churches as some would have us to believe and submit to.

Let us pray for divine revelation as we prepare by reading Deuteronomy 24:4, Matthew 5:32, Mark 10:11 and Luke 16:18. Please read these passages before continuing.

In the Gospels of Matthew 5 and Mark 10 we will find a discourse on the legitimacy of marriage, divorce and remarriage. This discourse did not appear out of thin air but out of a controversy of religious teachings that were being debated during the time of CHRIST’S ministry and needed some clarification.

The divorce debate in Jewish circles in Jesus’ day pitted the followers of Hillel against those of his rival, Shammai. Hillel took a more liberal view, permitting divorce in a variety of circumstances (even if the wife spoiled a meal!). Many used Hillel’s teachings to justify them divorcing and changing wives as easy as changing sandals. The used Hillel philosophy to commit legal whoredom and victimize women. But Shammai took a more restricted and Rabbinical view, only permitting divorce in the case of adultery (sex outside of marriage or sexual impurity prior to marriage unbeknownst to the other spouse or any other sexual perversion that is forbidden by God).

Dr. Craig L. Blomberg notes in his commentary on Matthew that in both Jewish and Greco-Roman societies, “divorce and remarriage were universally permitted and often mandatory following adultery.”

Donald Hagner’s in his commentary agrees with Blomberg and says that: “Rabbinic Judaism required a husband to divorce an unfaithful wife” presupposing the right to marry again.

Qumran literature references Matthew 5 and Mark 10 regarding marriage and divorce and ties them not to Hillel and Shammai, but to the Rabbinical understanding of Deuteronomy 24:4. Nevertheless, his point is the same: the exception to divorce and one’s right to marry again are presupposed and understood by all, including CHRIST.

In other words, both sides agreed on the exception clause which Matthew proclaimed and by the same token, Jesus would have certainly and safely presupposed it without any fear of misunderstanding. If the Omniscient Spirit of Christ thought that the exception clause permitting morally divorced persons to marry again within the faith was a problem he would have elucidated on it further. But He Did Not.

Parenthetically speaking, one loses their title of “Husband” or “Wife” in a morally qualified and legitimate divorce and may only be referred to as a former spouse. (Ref. Deuteronomy 24:4) Even Jesus Recognized This Truth In His Encounter With The Woman At The Well In John 4:7-18. During their exchange, Jesus did not scorn or condemn her for having been divorced and married five time. And in addition, Jesus recognized her as having had five (5) legitimate husbands and five legitimate divorces (verse 18). He did not say that she had one husband and 4 adulterous affairs as some of our more zealous Christians and Saints like to say about some of our morally legitimate divorcees who have dared to marry again. These self-righteous bigots have only added further injury and despair to an insufferable situation.

The bottom line is this. Christ, operating in the ministry of reconciliation and divine forgiveness put an end to the debate and controversy between the two schools of religious thought (Hillel and Shammai) by proclaiming and declaring that God doesn’t sanction divorce just for any old reason like Hillel taught but only for the cause of sexual infidelity including sexual harlotry and perversions like Shammai taught and GOD’S ETERNAL MORAL LAW teaches and the Rabbinical Father’s believed. (Ref. Deuteronomy 22:13-21)

Therefore, morally legitimate divorce carries with it the presupposed right to marry again. God doesn’t punish the innocent victim of infidelity (Adultery) with perpetual loneliness as some may preach, teach and practice. God would not purposely create a situation of temptation for the innocent victim of infidelity and divorce to be overcome by sexual needs and then condemn them for addressing their sexual needs by sincerely and in accordance with holy scripture marry again (Ref. 1 Corinthians 7:9). God is LOVE and GOD certainly doesn’t force the victim of adultery to live with an unloving abuser and without the hope of ever having a loving companion (Mate). That would place the adulterous perpetrator in POWER over her victim and victimize the victim perpetually.

We Must Remember The Divine Character of God. GOD is Just And His Mercy Is From Everlasting To Everlasting.

Please see the following link for further revelation:

“SOME FOLKS AND CHURCHES MAKE THEMSELVES GOD”

Regarding the above picture quote relative to this discussion:
Let me be very clear here. If an unbelieving sinner wants to divorce a Saint of GOD, the Saint is not bound (Under any obligations) under the marriage covenant and is free to marry again within the FAITH. God is about peace and LOVE and not forced marriages or forced loneliness.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!

I can tell you at least one reason why some people just quote Matthew 19:26 but they don’t really believe it.

Many don’t wait on GOD to do it with them and for them but they jump ahead of GOD and into their own human reasoning and judgment. They proceed in the strength of their own ambition and feelings. They judge according to the world’s value system and society’s trends, styles and views.

Many make life decisions based upon finances, prestige and honor and on the advice and opinions of Family and Friends, Church and Pastor or Lust and Desire.

They pursue their wants and desires without God and His wisdom and foreknowledge and blessing.

One such example of this type of human independence from GOD and self-determination is when someone marries the first good-looking thing with money and a home or a sexy body and a willing and accommodating spirit that they come across. They put themselves together with someone who GOD didn’t choose or approve for them. Instead of waiting on God to join them with their eternal human mate they joined themselves to a temporary one. But once they realize the unreliability of their decision, it is often then that they regret and repent of not waiting on GOD. And apart of that repentance maybe the emotional, spiritual, mental, psychological and physical anguish of divorce – the kind of divorce that God approves us and sanctions with the freedom to marry again within the FAITH.

And whereas mankind judges the outward appearance of things and validates his own judgments with religious dogmas and legal jurisprudence, it is God who knows and judges the heart of all mankind and GOD is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9) This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! (2 Corinthians 5:17) So if the Son sets you free, you will be absolutely free. (John 8:36) Amen.

“SOME FOLKS MAKE THEMSELVES GOD”

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!

Let us examine the truth of the matter and the evidence of that Truth.

Marriage was not legal for Black slaves in America. Yet black slaves were married and many honored their marriages even when forced to separate by their slave owners and slave auctioneers. A certificate did not legalize or validate their marriage. And neither did the lack of a marriage certificate void their marriage. REAL godly marriage takes place in the privacy of our hearts and souls; above the wickedness of humanity and the sanctimoniousness of religions. It is a totally divine and permanent union orchestrated by GOD between a man and woman. This is the definition and understanding of marriage that Christ spoke out of when teaching on the sexual fidelity and permanence of marriage and the moral justification of divorce in the sight of God which, for the victim of infidelity, carried with it the moral right to marry again within the community of Faithful born again believers. That is why no man can put asunder what God has joined together for no man has that Power over GOD’S institution of marriage. (Mark 10:9)

However, whatever mankind or man’s institutions licenses or certifies, mankind also reserves the right and authority to dissolve, separate and divorce. That is why disgruntled married couples who are married under civil authority by a civil Certificate of Marriage – Although a Priest or Pastor may have performed the ceremony – have to petition the civil courts for annulment, separation and/or divorce. They don’t appeal to God or THE CHURCH or the Pastor for a divorce because GOD didn’t join them together, a piece of paper representing the civil authority of legal jurisprudence did.

Many approach the Scriptures with a presumption of knowledge and wisdom and therefore prejudice any text that they may read with their own bias and misinformed and corrupt human moral views and hypocritical theological ideologies. Their understanding lacks divine revelation. They only have human translations and interpretations. And no scriptural text has been more prejudiced and twisted than those pertaining to marriage and divorce, i.e., Matthew 5:32, Matthew 19:9, Mark 10:11, Luke 16:18 and 1 Corinthians 7:15.

However, once the LORD reveals to us the TRUE meaning and definition of Marriage in the context of His WORD and WILL and how HIS divine institution was meant to be understood and lived out, it will help us understand the parameters and application of Marriage more accurately – eliminating the chances for misinterpretations and inaccurate applications and spiritual confusion.

God is not the author of confusion. It would be confusing for God to obligate someone to an unfaithful marriage that God did not validate in the first place. And it would be inconsistent with GOD’S Love and Mercy for God to obligate a morally righteous divorced person from entering into a new marriage – a mate of the LORD’S Choosing.

GOD is not cruel or inhuman. But Religion Often Is.

Ask GOD For Further Revelation On His Institution Of Marriage and Stop Having Your Marriages Defined By Religions and Federal and Civil Institutions They are not right nor righteous. Only GOD is RIGHT!

Only GOD is RIGHT!

REPENT!
