Spirit and Truth

   Welcome readers to part four of this series. Our lesson this week will be coming from the book of Romans 7:1-3. In this portion of scripture Paul the Apostle uses as a metaphor from  the laws of marriage to teach the mixed congregation of believers in Rome why believers in Christ are no longer under the law. The points that the Apostle Paul made are plain and clear: That the woman is obligated to her husband and is under the laws of marriage and that marital relationship   as long as he lives. Once her husband dies she is no longer obligated to him or the marital relationship under the laws of marriage. However, if her husband lives and she is  married to   another man( even if she was divorced from her that  husband) she would be an adulteress and living in SIN. Even if she had legally divorced him for sexual misconduct. If her current husband dies and she married another man, she will not be committing adultery. The death of her previous h...

   Welcome brothers and sisters. We are now in part three of this series and so far we learned the following: Marriage is a legal relationship in the eyes of God that is between one man and one woman( Genesis 2:24 ). A person can only!!! divorce  their spouse when that person has engaged in a sexual relationship with another person outside of their marriage( Matthew 5:32 ). Even though a person divorces their spouse legally for sexual misconduct. They are not permitted to marry another person( Matthew 5:32 ). If a person divorces their spouse that person   would be committing adultery and would be an adulterer or an adulteress ( Matthew 5:32 ).       Jesus Christ teaches us in the gospel of Mark that: A husband and wife is one person( flesh ) Mark 10:7-8. A man that divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against his wife ( Mark 10:11 ). A woman that divorces her husband commits the sin of adultery ( Mark 10:12 ). ...

  Welcome everyone and God bless you all in Christ Jesus Our Saviour. It has been already established in Genesis 2:24 that a legal marital relationship is between ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN. Next, the word adultery will be defined before we continue on in this series. Adultery is defined by Webster's Dictionary as voluntary sexual intercourse that has occurred between a married person and a partner other than their lawful spouse. However, in Matthew 5:27-28 Jesus Christ defines this word. He starts off by reminding us that in both Exodus 20:14 and in Deuteronomy 5:18 we were commanded by God NOT to have sexual intercourse with anyone other than our legal spouse. "Thou shalt not comitt adultery " Matthew 5:27. In Matthew 5:28 Jesus not only expounds further on this word but he gives us the source to where this evil act begins. He says in Matthew 5:28 "But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his he...
