Laws of Marriage and Divorce(The Conclusion)

  Our laws of marriage and divorce series closes with the Apostle Paul's instructions to the congregation of believers at Corinth.
1 Corinthians 10-11:
 "And unto the married I command, yet not I BUT the Lord, Let not the wife dpart from her husband." KJV
   "But if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband." KJV
The word reconciled in this verse is speaking in the context of going back to her husband. So should a husband or wife depart, separate, or divorce from their spouse. The commandment from GOD is for that husband or wife to remain umarried or go back to their spouse.
   I would like to highlight a couple of points at this juncture. Which are:
  1. Paul is delivering a commandment directly from the mouth of GOD.
  2. This commandment applies to both a husband and wife.
  3. If a husband or wife should depart, divorce, or separate from their spouse they are not permitted to engage in another relationship or marry another person. They MUST!!!! either remain unmarried or go back to their spouse.
Finally, even in the case where a husband or wife was not the one to depart, separate, or divorce their spouse but their spouse was the one to depart, separate, or divorce them. The spouse that was  left by their husband or wife is still not permitted to engage in a relationship with or marry another person. Next week I will give summarised list of the laws of marriage and divorce that will give clarity and understanding to what was taught in this series. God Bless you ALL in Christ Jesus.

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...

Being Defiled Part 1

  Kingdom Greetings, Brothers and Sisters of our beloved Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I appreciate you and love you all much and dearly in Christ Jesus. 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...
