Laws of Marriage and Divorce Part 4

   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 husband frees her from the obligation of marriage to him under the law of marriage and from that marital relationship.
    Therefore, a man or woman can only!!! marry another person if their previous spouse dies. This includes a divorce that was legally done for sexual misconduct. It is only!!! legal for a man or woman to marry someone else in the eyes of GOD when their spouse dies(there is no exception or grey area). There are circumstances where GOD in his great grace, mercy, and compassion understands where a spouse would have no choice but to divorce or separate from their current spouse. Like abuse to that spouse or life threatening circumstances to that spouse or their children etc. However GOD WILL NEVER!!! break his word or contradict himself under any!!!! circumstances. All that being said anyone!!! divorced or separated from there spouse and engages in a intimate relationship or has sexual contact with another person during their divorce or separation is committing adultery. The laws of marriage applies to both men and women. Even to the spouse that did not commit any wrongdoing. GOD IS HOLY AND COMMANDS US TO BE HOLY.
    I will conclude this weeks lesson in the following way: Be holy as GOD IS HOLY. Let us All abide by the laws of marriage "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth to life, and few there be that find it." The words of our Lord Jesus Christ taken from Matthew 7:14. God Bless you ALL in everything.

Being Defiled Part 2

  Kingdom Greetings, to you all in the name of Jesus Christ Our Saviour. During this blog, I will be explaining how both prescription drugs and over the counter drugs, recreational drugs and alcohol are factors which can lead to us being defiled.  These three classes of drugs that mentioned above in addition to alcohol impacts our mental awareness and our ability to make decisions. Whenever we consume any of these three classes of drugs or alcohol it opens up our minds to influences and communications from Satan and his demonic forces. How? It is Satan as well as his demonic forces that influence our thoughts, actions, words, and our decisions. These demonic influences leads us to commit the following sins that defiles us: Fornication Adultery Lying, stealing and robbing Murder Sexual Assault and date rape Violence of all sorts Sexual Misconduct Disobedience to the law (driving under the influence).    If we were to conduct a statistical analysis each...

Laws of Marriage(Guidelines)

  I would like to thank you all for reading my blogs. I also want you to know that I truly appreciate you all. Welcome back. I am going to put forth a list for us all to follow as it pertains to the mind of Christ and as it is written in the holy scriptures( GOD'S recorded word ) concerning the principles and teachings of the laws of marriage. Marriage is between one man and one woman. What God has joined together. Let not anyone ( this includes a husband or a wife) put asunder. A person can ( only divorce )their spouse for sexual misconduct( adultery or fornication etc. ). If a person divorces their spouse for sexual misconduct neither a  husband or a wife or the spouse they have   divorced or separated from is permitted by GOD to marry another person. Also God do not permitt for them to engage in another intimate relationship. If a person for reasons  of abuse of any kind or the lives of themselves or that of their children was in danger were to divorce or s...

From this point going forward, I will be writing and posting my blogs every other week. The reason for this change is because I have begun writing my third book titled: The Laws Of Marriage. This would be a great opportunity for everyone to read and catch up on blogs that I have already written and posted that are of interest to them.   These next series of my blogs will be centered on being defiled. I will define the word defile, show how a person becomes defiled?, and what is being defiled in the eyes of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour is? The book of Mark Chapter 7:15-23 will be the main passage of scripture for this lesson series.              Mark 7:15    "There is NOTHING from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things wh...
