Just to be clear..... because a small group of people on IG were confused. I am not saying David and Ester went to hell. I am saying when a religious person says someone who is divorced and remarried is going to hell because that is adultery, then by that same thinking they hold many of the people in the Old Testament are going to hell as well. Jesus made it clear that God's standard for marriage was always the same from the old to the new testament. David had many wives and concubines and Esther got with the King after the king sent his wife away for being disobedient not because she committed adultery. So that would mean Esther was in adultery. I don't see why people are acting like they can't understand that. Probably because they want to continue believing their religious lies.

The bible is clear on marriage, divorce and adultery, people are looking for justification for their actions and there isnt any. It doesn’t matter how you twist the word sin is sin.

Bro. Wrong wrong wrong wrong! Be careful. If you’re in that situation Gods grace is sufficient for your situation. But don’t come here and preach heresy. None of those persons you mentioned divorced! As for Esther, that was ordained by God for the sake of the Jews. Also read 1st Corinthians 7:6 which pertains to sexual relations before marriage with your intended wife. You’ll need to stop being offended and taking stuff personal. You better ask for forgiveness and remove this video. 1st Corinthians 7:27 1st Corinthians 7:39 Romans 7:2 Don’t know where you get the idea that it’s ‘law’

God says separate and pray for your weary spouse. Alcoholism, abuse, adultery should all be prayed for and forgiven.

Unfortunately, he`s been marry multiple times. He's not qualified to be a pastor. 1 Timothy 3:1-7 3 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

WE ARE UNDER THE NEW CONVENT LAWS!! U are not allowed to have 3 wives,Marcus!

People fast from KZfaq for about a week and see what He has to say concerning His word. We have become so concerned with man’s word versus the One who wrote the Word.

I had a pastor explain divorce and remarriage like this: if you divorce stay single unless your former spouse dies, remarries themselves, or reaches out for reconsiliation.

This is not the truth. As if God revealed to you something that has been taught forever is false. You are very arrogant. This is what homosexuals think. It has been revealed to them that churches have been preaching falsely all these thousands of years. I would be afraid if I was you Marcus. As a “pastor” you will be responsible for teaching and leading astray your followers

What is interesting about this video is that you said God gave you a new revelation. People debate this biblical issue because they don't want to give up their life with that so called perfect spouse. Are we still operating under the old testament law? If so, then we are doomed for hell. In the book of Proverbs it says a man who commits adultery lacks good sense. We who profess Jesus Christ as our savior would believe all that he says. Why? Adultery and fornication are a salvation matter whereby Christ said we will go to hell for if we continue in such sin as every other sin committed. Christ through his apostles taught that marriage is until death. If you remarry while your first spouse is still alive, he calls it adultery. You're making Jesus and his apostles seems as though they are contradicting each other. It's not a religious folks teachings it's Jesus Christ doctrine. He took us back to creation for the law of marriage. The law of the land is not the originator of marriage covenants; God Almighty is. Forgiveness and love is what keeps every legal covenant marriage bound together. When we divorce and remarry, we're saying there's no hope for change in any of us God divorce Israel yet his covenant between he and them remained. There is no record where God ever broke that covenant and made with any other nation to be his. The body of Christ is in the engagement phase. We must understand literal, parables and symbols when it comes to the teachings of God. If we don't, there lies the problem with marriage, divorce and remarriage. In the book of Act Paul said at the time of our ignorance, God overlooked it but he commands everyone and every where to repent.

You are not those people in the old testament.....what does the new testament says about marriage..Jesus christ and his apostles??? That's what applies to us.........

Everybody has their own opinion about what the BIBLE says about marriage. I believe in the marriage VOWS, I believe you should take them seriously. I believe when the VOWS says to death shall do you apart. I don't think God wants us to remarry. Some people wants to make excuses so they can live life like they want to, but we have to answer to God. I've never been married, because I'm waiting patiently for God to find me a husband, if not that's okay, that leaves me to spend more time with Him.🙏🏿🙏🏿♥️♥️

Pastor Marcus with all due respect I think you're 100% wrong on this one.

The only thing anyone will go to hell for is not repenting and receiving salvation. Jesus took it all to the cross.

Brother Marcus...you are putting those that are Married and those who have a sense to get married in the line of fire. Those that are not married yet may feel confused...giving them an open for divorce when they do get married. At the first sign of adultery or going through marital issues. This is not God's way. If a married woman or man comes to you with marital issues concerning adultery, what would you tell them? They can divorce and remarry someone better? This is dangerous for you to teach.

It is reasonable for people to have concerns about your 3 divorces given that they occurred while you were a professing Christian, and given that you talk about them flippantly.

Jacob, King Solomon, David did not die on the cross for me but Jesus Christ did! If Remarrage is a sin declared by Christ who is THE Way then it is sin. The fact that Jacob and David did this, it was just the forbearance of the Lord. Repent, we are calling for your soul brother, it's all love. It's not being religious or being self-righteous but it's the doctrine of Holiness.

My husband and I had this conversation last night. If you go by the Bible, divorce and re marriage is not supported by the Bible. We can't go by the Old Testament, Jesus said it in the New. I don't know about the Hell part, but I do know many pastors and people in leadership are divorced and remarried. This comes up because they are trying to justify themselves. I don't know how God will judge, just what the Bible says.

You are really reaching. The Bible is clear on this you are in SIN. Religion has nothing to do with it. David and all those other people were in SIN as well. The interpretation is NOT off. Why do people listen to you? You really up here trying to make excuses for your sin and drag Esther, David, and other biblical persons into your mess.

I was judged for adultery I didn't commit. Father is quite explicit, no committing adultery. If you love me keep my commandments. The way is straight and narrow and few that enter therein.

We must go by the Word, not by what others did. We are at the time after Jesus came. I'd rather be safe than sorry. People are even told during the ceremony many times that marriage shouldn't be entered into lightly. I grew up with grandparents that kept their vow that they took before God even in horrible circumstances. Stayed around 76 years. Most people in our families growing up were married. My parents, 57 years. Most until death of spouse. People used to go in knowing that divorce wasn't an option. Media and those that control it has been the downfall of so much. Just go back and watch sitcoms. You'll see what each step was. Now look at where we are. The wages of sin is death. This country has gone so far, worked so hard, now the wages are being paid. Death to joy, peace, love. blessings, family, dreams, common sense, health, morals, the protection of God the way it was, abundance, on and on.

You sound so contradictory. It's sad. Now, none of us are bound by this because it was for the Jews? You are making the covenant of marriage seem so cheap. Just accept the fact that people know you've been married and divorced multiple times. You can't make a Bible study around your shortcomings. Now, when people start doing this in your church, you will have a problem.

Be ye Holy, for I am Holy saith the Lord

When a man and woman take those vows before God "until death do you part" how does that now clarify things? God already made it clear in the Bible but ppl dnt want to come go terms with that because of what they want out of life. This walk ain't easy for any especially for those who unfortunately got married without knowing God does not support remarriage unless your 1st spouse is dead. When we do things out of order of God we truly suffer from it like having sex before getting to know someone then considering marriage. I'm sure most if not all of us cld have save alot of time, heartbreak, money, etc if we wld have gotten to know ppl well before we did things backwards. I honestly feel bad for those who have remarried and they're 1st spouse is still living, what a dilemma, and may God truly deliver you through it. 🙏🏽

Remarriage was permitted in the OT. What a weak argument. You are in adultery Marcus.

2 Timothy 4:3 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

Sighs… Marcus I used to follow you until I was truly born again acts 2:38 praise the lord! You and your “wife”are in adultery. God says in his word you cannot remarry unless your spouse is deceased and if anyone desires an office of a bishop He must be a husband of one wife. Not multiple wives. God has been using multiple people to warn you, I pray your heart has not hardened towards his warnings of this. This is to be taken serious. Justifying our lifestyle that is not pleasing to God is dangerous.

This topic continually comes up because people truly have not returned to their 1st Love 💕 and Adorning themselves as A Bride awaiting their Holy King.

This is so why people need to stop telling young people to hurry and get married

“new teaching” shouldn’t be a new teaching about Divorce.

How do we pick and choose what commandments to obey and what commandments to take literal and what commandments to play around with and make excuses not to obey? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Ok let me get this straight God gave you a new revelation on something that contradicts his Word ? 🤔🤔🤔 man somebody is lying.

Disobedience is sin. You have rejected God commands and therefore God will judge you accordingly, whether you go to hell for it or not. 1 Samuel 15:23 Sin is sin. You can do whatever you want, be hot, cold or lukewarm, but don’t justify sin. If it’s in the word of God it applies. 2Timothy 3:16 You can get a divorce for fornication, but you must remain single unless your living husband or wife dies. 1Corinthians 7:11, 39. The Bible says, that whosoever marries that divorce woman is also committing adultery. Luke16:18… You may not go to hell for it, but it is still a sin. Now if God says remain single after you get a divorce and you go get married that’s between you and God. Here’s the good news, You can REPENT from sin.

Except fornication... Marriage people don't fornicate. Well in the Bible days they didn't have a name for fiance so the person that you was intending to marry was called your husband or wife and if they commit fornication then you can put away your husband of wife. It was justified being that they fornicated and not being officially married.

Why do you assume that if someone disagrees with you it is because they want to be holier than thou or self-righteous? Is that your way to discourage anyone disagreeing with you. That's really bad I'm sorry. Just teach what you have and stop impugning motives on anyone who disagrees. People can simply disagree without an agenda.

I know of people that is about to marry their fourth wife...so how many times are you now going to remarry

Marcus, according to scripture are you living in adultery? If not, can you explain what is adultery (according to GOD). Christianity is so weak in the west due to many churches accepting this sin, yet they’re quick to speak against other sins. It’s hard for many to find a church home when you have leaders openly living in adulterous marriages etc.

Dude why the false and misleading teachings. Stop confusing the masses. I'm praying for you. God prohibits adultery period! Jesus extended the definition of adultery, therefore making it an even more major sin. Quit bringing others (real prophets) before the time of Christ, into the equation. Before way back then was a different time my man, that is the problem with all these 100,000+ Christian denominations nowadays. Y'all love to evade the most certain and real Truth. 2,000+ years of history and wisdom come back home, Jesus waits for you in His church, the one and only, the one which still stands today and will forever stand tall and for the whole world to know. God speaks to us in our time. He says its a sin, then it is a sin. Let's all worry about our individual selves. Adultery is a mortal sin. Adulteres are deserving of (eternal) death because they infringe upon what God has molded into one flesh. The bride and groom, man and woman, become 1. Don't change or try and challenge Jesus teachings with your way of thinking! We're all humans sinners we have flaws. Don't let the evil one the enemy confuse you. I know you are only in search of the truth. But have some humilty dude. If you're not even certain, then don't put it out! God loves you! Take care!

It's not a topic!! It's right in scripture. Your not fighting against Apostle Gino Jennings, your fighting against the WORD of GOD out the "mouth" of the Man of GOD 🙏 Blessed be the NAME of the LORD JESUS CHRIST AMEN

This is a topic for which I look to the Holy Spirit for personal revelation. The Bible, specifically what Jesus says, seems to be very clear. God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). If God hates divorce, then we should not take this subject lightly. However, I do not believe that divorce and remarriage is a one way ticket to hell. But I do not know how to judge in every situation, and every situation is different, therefore I believe God takes this on an individual basis. Personally, if I am ever to marry, I will only marry who God tells me to marry and there is no avenue for divorce unless my wife forces it upon me. In such a situation, I would remain single until I die. That's just me. At almost 50 years of age, I think the only way I will marry is if God is involved directly. Most single women my age are divorced, and as far as I'm concerned, divorced women are off limits. My heart has been broken over and over on this issue of marriage. I have wanted to marry all of my life, but this world has made getting married and raising children a very risky business. I can think of hundreds of reasons why I should never marry, but only one reason why I should marry, God must give me the green light. We say we trust God, but do we trust God with who we marry, when we marry and if we should marry at all? Check the intentions of your heart!

*Well ofcourse folks who re married while their ex spouse is still alive will cope hard and say this. No amount of self justification will save your soul.*

At the end of the day if we go to hell for our sins we're all going to hell.. thankfully we are saved by grace alone, our faith in Jesus who took all our sins on himself is all we need.. only God knows our hearts, who are we to judge each other? Check your own heart daily

Marcus what exactly are you saying? Are you trying to give yourself a reason or a free pass? When someone have sexual contact with another that doesn’t mean marriage on any situation if that was so there would be no adulterous and fornicators. If a believer have sexual contact with someone outside of marriage it simply means sin. Yes it is sin to have sex before marriage that is why having sex with someone can never means marriage. In Corinthians Paul gives clear example of divorce and marriage and who can actually remarry. People think because you divorce you can automatically able to remarry no, remarry it’s not for every divorcee. One last thing, the problem is not the divorce but the remarry. That is why not all divorcees can remarry. Jesus says if you divorce your spouse and you remarry in some cases you commit adultery. Be careful to those thinking Marcus has opened your eyes about what step to take next on that issue I will ask that you talk to your Jesus Christ about it and see what he says.

The book of Esther says Esther took one year of preparation before marriage so I do not believe she was fornicating with the king....

Know the Word for yourself!

Honestly, it all boils down to your heart. During sex you become one, most people who are married have sex and consumate the union. There becomes a soul tie there. From a woman's perspective I will say that God did this to protect the purity of the woman. because women are very emotional beings, and we love hard, and bond hard, and give our temple over into the protection of the man. we basically become one in marriage, not just in paperwork. now, with divorce is a terrible rupture in itself, it harms the soul tie and harms the soul because of the emotions and physica and mental ties. some people even give away their homes, their pets, their kids, the separation is very difficult. but the whole thing is just an ordeal. with that said, God will always weigh out the situation. He will take notice of the actions on both ends. He will be judging the acts that led to the divorce. especially if there's malice or narcisstic wickedness. He will also see if you're just a serial non-commital type of person who lies to your partner and then dump them after they get attached to you. God sees it all. I mean, there's people who get married for money, to tie their partner down, to harm people on purpose. so God will of course put these marriage rules in place to stop humans from abusing themselves and their spouse. That's why He's called , God the Father, and He protects His child. So when we go into a marriage, we shouldn't go into it lighty. WORDS have power. and the union of marriage is a union and promise to God using words and paperwork, and ceremony. But the Spirit of God is omnipresent and He is there when you use your words to take up these important vows. It's not a game. God will unite the souls and honor it. Physically, spiritually, and under God's protection. It took myself a long time to come to these conclutions because I was in fornication for a long time without marriage because I knew how special a marriage really is and means. But I was operating in my masculine energy, and I thought sleeping around with guys was simpe, pleasure over commitment was the name of my nonsense game. I harmed myself, and I ended up with HPV16, HPV24, Precancer, cervix operation, urinary incontinance, Herpes1, depression, got into a car accident, I was a mess. But God is guiding me out of this mess that I did to myself, for allowing fornication and not respecting myself nor God's commandments. I did believe in God, but I didn't know HIm. Until I was faced with the Truth, it slapped me so hard , the reality of my mistakes, it almost cost me my life. I felt lost confused, dirty, used, abused, raped, harmed, all of it. Until one day Jesus showed up in my life. After the car accident, I was Born Again. I became celibate. I started to say NO to the list of men that I had , and started saying YES to my salvation and walk with Christ. Immediately things started to shift in my life. The HPV16 was NEGATIVE. Prediabetes was Gone. Pain on my neck and back, spasms Gone. Heart palpitations were Gone. My gyno and cardiologist didn't understand it. They just sent me home and said, all clear. So my journey with Jesus has begun and I'm getting healed slowly , on His time. So I do believe that if you no longer want to be a part of something that is harming you , like a bad marriage or commitment, God will allow it to end, so that you can move forward and be happy and healthy. God wil never allow anything to harm you on purpose, especially if marriage gets in the way of progress. I do think that a marriage is very important but so is your health and overall well being. God sees all the pieces and the bigger picture. I do think you might go through Some punishment for the breakup, but going to hell for a divorce is just not logical. We all make mistakes in ife, and if you repent , reflect, and honor yourself enough to keep going forward, then God does forgive. After all, the 10 commandments are mainly about respect and love. Just don't be like JLO and marry a guy every month lol ..I do think that type of hit n miss is dangerous grounds, of not honoring the sanctity of marriage. People abuse things and take things to the extremes. But that's her path to walk on. A lot of people are broken on the inside and need someone to pick up the pieces and make them whole. but they don't realize that our creator makes us feel complete already. on erath we have a partner, but God is our soulmate. I no longer feel empty, nor used, nor damaged. because God is here now with me, He's alwasy been here, but I didn't open my heart to Him all along.

Jesus said : Moses gave them a law of divorce, but from the beginning it was not so

To keep it simple if the reason for a divorce is not legitimate according to what God says and you get married again your in adultery. The major concern is being a pastor married multiple times. This isn’t me judging it’s just what’s put out on front street for everyone to see. Being married multiple times shouldn’t be taken lightly or viewed lightly. Remember bro when you said “I do” you made a vow before your wife but more importantly to God. So your divorces came by fornication or abuse because that’s the only way a divorce is verified.

What about were it says : you cannot remarry after a divorce, until that exspouse dies ??? 🙏🏼❤️

Psalms 33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

Unbelievable!!! They were all under different dispensations when God allowed them to have more then one wife..We are now in the dispensation of Grace where a man must be the husband of one wife !!! DONT BE DECEIVED 🙏

It’s right in the Bible unless your spouse is dead you can not remarry.. tell me what did John the Baptist tell the KING? the whole reason why the woman had his head taken

Wow!! A new false revelation..you're still in adultery...

So what is your point Marcus? It kind of sounds like you’re tap-dancing around the issue and using nuance to try to justify divorce. Are you suggesting divorce is totally fine regardless of the circumstances and that God feels the same? Are you suggesting that God does not intend marriage to be sacred and lasting? Jesus said the greatest command is to love God and the second is to love your neighbor as yourself. Can you provide a single example of how divorce functions an act of love? At the end of the day, obviously there are some RARE exceptions which Jesus addressed in scripture. Regardless, divorce is not part of God’s plan. It is a source of pain and destruction in the lives of people who it touches and it should ALWAYS BE A LAST RESORT which is undertaken prayerfully, with humility and fear.

SO MANY OF Y''ALL NEED TO READ YOUR WORD IF YOU'RE IN AGREEMENT TO WHAT MARCUS IS SAYING YOU BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD FOR WHAT YOU KNOW, AND DO IT NOT. MARCUS IS A BLIND GUIDE LEADING THE BLIND, AND MANY OF YOU HAVE FALLING INTO HIS TRAP OF DECEPTION!

Go to the scripture. Roman's 7:2-3, 1Cor7:10-11, Mark 10:11,Luke 16:18, Matt 5:32,19:9. You are trying to justify living in adultery. Jesus said marriage is for life. Fornication and adultery are different words. Fornication is the engagement period, Like Mary and Joseph. Your pointing to old testament figures like King David who lost his first born son because of sin. He almost lost his kingdom. You made a covenant before God to death. You can divorvce but cannot remarry till your spouse dies. You're in adultery Marcus and a wolf.

What about remarrying after a divorce? Scripture does say to remain single until the ex spouse dies. If you remarry then you are committing adultery. .??

The Bible says we are adulterers if we divorce and the person didn’t commit adultery. Jesus Christ says this in the book of Matthew. Why are people debating this?

I'm sorry Brother Marcus but I'm gonna have to disagree with u on this one. Number one u can't compare the old testament to today's. Why bcz God allowed that back in that time such as marrying ur sister, etc. But In the New Testament that no longer applies. For example if ur married and and u decided u didn't want ur wife or husband anymore so u call it quits boom divorce. Well whomever that wife or husband marries next he or she and that person has committed adultery. For God tells us in 1st CORINTHIANS 7 10,11 LET NOT THE WIFE DEPART FROM HER HUSBAND BUT IF SHE DEPART LET HER REMAIN UNMARRIED OR BE RECONCILED TO HER HUSBAND AND LET NOT THE HUSBAND PUT AWAY HIS WIFE. SO DON'T TELL THESE PEOPLE THAT THEY WILL BE ALRIGHT WITH GOD IN DOING SO AS IN DIVORCING AND REMARRYING! ITS ADULTERY POINT BLANK AND PERIOD! U JUST CANT ARGUE WITH THE WORD OF GOD!

You must really love your current wife to be gambling with your soul repent brother

No, we’re not and that is why Jesus was sent to save us by grace. I had to get a divorce because my first husband was gay. God is not angry with me because of that.

You are married to someone elses wife 😢😢😢😢 romans 7:3-4 it says she is bound to her husband as long as he lives but if she remarries she is called an adulteress until her husband dies😢😢😢

Great video: I was in a beautiful marriage before my now ex wife left me, i still love her and most times I cant stop thinking about her, i am doing my very best to get rid of the thought of her, but i just cant, i love her so much, i don't know why i am bring this here for, i cant stop thinking about her.

Wow. Sincerely, this is the most illogical reasoning and poor exegeting of the text in order to justify divorce. Since “God gave it to” him, no one can question it? This is not from God at all

You have apostate Teaching Marcus....You need to REPENT 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Matthew 15:12-14 KJV - 12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Proverbs 14:12 KJV - 12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

1 Timothy 3:1 The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? These are the qualifications for a pastor or elder. Notice is says a husband of 1 wife. It does not say, a husband of 1 wife at a time. This does not say u can't be a Christian if u have had a divorce. This is qualifications for a pastor or elder. So u can still be a Christian if u have had a divorce, but u can not be a pastor or elder.

This man speaks to himself through himself & dont know it 🪞

This is a tough subject to deal with but it must be dealt with, because in our modern day marriage and divorce are out of control. So this produces thousands if not millions of cases of people needing new spouses. It is understood by most that they are better off married than living single and committing fornication. We must keep in mind God has better sense than we do. In our modern society where people dress half naked and strut around in public with no shame. How many married men and women secretly lusted in their heart when they saw that. That was sinful and legally gave your spouse grounds to divorce you. Now of course you’re never gonna confess that to your spouse that you did it because we don’t count that right? It counts only when you physically go and do it as far as most are concerned. I could write a whole page or two but my point is we just have to leave this in Gods hands and not demonize others especially when we know God is with them and they genuinely are following God with a pure heart.

This is right up the ally of what Kevin La Ewing just spoke about. He recently did a while series on marriage and divorce and it is powerful. He himself went through a divorce and God blessed him with his God ordered wife ( what God joined together) not man. He is a man of the word. He backs it all up with the WORD.

"NEW REVELATION "🤔🤔🤔🤔 it's good to read the comments and know people are still sticking with the Word and not following every wind of doctine🥲

FALSE TEACHER. Repent Marcus

I love this message, I agree with you 100%! God knows my heart. And how much and how long I grieved my divorce. I had to divorce my husband due to major mistreatment. I didn’t want to, I HAD to. For mine and my son’s sanity. I grieved for a loooong time. While grieving for over 10 years of being single, I was deep in prayer talking with God about my guilt for leaving because I was being mistreated. I felt God speak to my heart and He said, ‘You’re right, I don’t agree with divorce, but I also don’t believe my daughter is to be badly mistreated either’. I felt Him comfort my soul and reassure me He understands. I am just now remarrying a VERY respectful and loving man, 14 years after my divorce. I agree with this message bc you’re backing your statements up with Biblical facts.

To all who may read this, I am sorry to say, but the New Testament Scriptures don't exactly agree with what Mr. Rogers says about the topic of Divorce and Remarriage. I have nothing against Mr. Rogers personally, but I have to express the correct view that God holds of the matter which was expressly revealed through His Son in the flesh, through the Apostle Paul, and even through the Angel of Repentance (The Shepherd of Hermas) in the writing of the New Testament (For those who don't know, the Shepherd of Hermas was regarded as Scripture in the early church; it was a book of the Bible (the Codex Sinaiticus) before certain men removed it from the canon). I say the following things, not to condemn people, but to reveal what the Holy Scriptures truthfully say about the matter so that we may live more holy lives unto God. Pardon that this may be a long read, but it is a true and thorough examination from Scripture on the matter of Divorce and Remarriage. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's go ahead an examine the Scriptures with some breakdown: What Jesus Christ Said: "The two shall become one flesh...So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, LET NOT MAN SEPARATE.” (Matthew 19:5-6) "Whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.” (Matthew 19:8) “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.” (Mark 10:11) ^ The first and third passages are very clear that divorce between two rightfully married people is not an option (it is a transgression against God's law), but people will debate the second one about the exception clause with sexual immorality. This is the only case whereby "divorce" is permitted. But what does sexual immorality refer to? Incestual marriage, gay marriage, bestiality, marrying someone who is divorced, polygamy, etc. What man deems to be marriage outside of God's interpretation of it is not a marriage at all; thus, a "divorce" here in the second passage is not going against God's original marriage model but rather the distortions of it. For instance, say I (who was never married before) end up marrying a woman who is divorced from her first living and rightful husband. I would be committing sexual immorality with her because I am not supposed to be with her. The woman has to be either remain separate or be reconciled to her first living husband (we'll touch up on Scripture with the Apostle Paul in a bit). But I, who was never married rightfully before, can divorce that divorced woman because she, in God's eyes, is not my wife. I would then be free and allowed to marry rightfully. I bring up this particular example because it seems to be the case with a significant amount of people. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Paul Said: "To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife." (1 Corinthians 7:10-11) It is quite clear that divorce is not an option in the eyes of God's. What separation refers to here is the state of being physically away from your rightfully married spouse such as living separate lives in separate households but by no means permitted by God to be fornicating while you're both away from one another. Separation here does not refer to the splitting (divorce) of the marriage by means of an earthly government decree. The options are only to be either separate (being physically away but not legally divorced) or to be reconciled (back together). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What the Angel of Repentance said (in the form of Dialogue between Hermas and the Angel) in the Fourth Mandate (Commandment): Hermas: “If anyone who trusts in the Lord has a wife, and he suspects that she is committing adultery, does that man sin if he continues to live with her?" Angel of Repentance: "As long as he is unaware of her sin, the husband does not commit any sin by continuing to live with her. But if the husband knows that his wife has committed adultery and she does not repent, but continues in her sexual immorality, and the husband continues to live with her, he is also guilty of her crime and a sharer in her adultery." Hermas: "Then what should the husband do if his wife continues in her sinful practices?" Angel of Repentance: "The husband should put her away and remain by himself. But if he puts away his wife and marries another, he also commits adultery." Hermas: "What if the woman repents and wants to come back to her husband? Should her husband not take her back?" Angel of Repentance: "Surely if the husband does not take her back he brings a great sin upon himself, for he should take back the sinner who has repented--but not frequently, for there is but one repentance for the servants of God. It is for that reason--if the divorced wife repents--that the husband should not marry another woman when his wife has been put away. In this matter men and women are to be treated in exactly the same way. Even further, adultery is not only committed by those who pollute their body with sexual immorality, but also by those who imitate the unbelievers in their actions. If anyone persists in these kinds of deeds and does not repent, withdraw from them and do not live with them anymore, otherwise you are a sharer in their sin. This command has been laid on you so that you should remain by yourselves, both the man and the woman, for in such people repentance can take place. I do not give permission to do these things except that the one who has sinned may sin no more. But as far as their past sins, there is One who is able to provide a cure; for is is He, indeed, who has power over all." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conclusion of the matter: Divorce and Remarriage is not an option but a great sin in God's eyes!!!! Personal note: If you read all this, congratulations! You have received great wisdom and instruction from the Lord! For it is not my opinion that counts but rather it is what the Lord says that counts. Now that you have received such revelation, let us sin no more lest we be judged more harshly than the ignorant unbelievers on Judgment Day. I say this for the sake of your soul. Peace!

You are the person in Matthew 7:23!! REPENT of your adultery Marcus! Because if this is NOT adultery according to the Bible, then un married Christians living together are saved by grace and going to heaven!!

No saved person, in relationship with Jesus, is going to hell. Period. So that “you are going to hell if you remarry” isn’t even a valid argument.

A new revelation really? I don’t think people judge your salvation based on this, committing adultery is sin, sin will send you to hell, Marcus you can’t change scripture or say it doesn’t apply to you because of your situation, this isn’t about tradition this is the word..sorry I don’t agree with u on this one

Bro. Marcus, 1st Corinthians 5 says we are not to judge the world, but we are to judge our brothers and sisters in the Church. So, we should mind our own business, but we are also suppose to hold each accountable. Also, James 3 says teachers are held to a higher standard. So, people are always going to look at you differently, because you are part of the five fold.

Certificate of divorce was still being given in the Old Testament with out a marriage ceremony. There was no professing of divorce.

I still don't have confidence in marriage. I have heard many scenarios. I would like to hear more about a single hood. I believe that doesn't get high lighted as much or in depth. Many people think that marriage is the way to go and it is pushed heavily. I have not heard many speak about how single hood is a gift, and even JESUS himself said that he wished everyone would be like him in single hood, but it is your choice for marriage. I wish this would be taught more in depth. I personally have not been married, but I don't want to go into marriage where GOD has not ordained it, glorify GOD, and lead by GOD. Only GOD knows your true intentions and the other person's intentions.

I've been married going on 42 years I must tell you it is a journey and it definitely changes when you get to be my age which is 67 understand it's not like when your first married

Good subject! (Matthew 19:9) I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the grounds of her sexual immorality, and marries another woman is committing adultery.”

What do the red letters in the Bible say about marriage and divorce… BKA … what does Jesus say?

Where in the Bible god said you can remarried and continue to married …. Unless your spouse dies … show me when he said you can married 2/3 time show me plain

Luke 18:17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

That divorce tearing you up brother. Repent today.

My former spouse is like a King David and he divorced me for reasons EXCEPT fornication, and he was unfaithful during that time. Holy Spirit revealed some other things about him at a later time. Much deep revelation. 🙏🏽🔥

People who abuses the scriptures like you are doing are always trying to justify their sin. I take it that you have been divorced and remarried? If you still have a living spouse, according to Jesus you are living in adultery(1Corinthians 7:39). God’s Word says that no adulterers will inherit the kingdom. According to Jesus death is the only thing that frees a married couple. I was married to a man who had been married twice before me. After he died, God set me free from organized religion and began teaching me his truth, something this world knows nothing about. I encourage anyone who has committed this sin to repent and seek Christ in prayer for wisdom and guidance. Time is running out! Note: Divorce itself is not sin, that’s why Jesus said if you divorce, meaning that he knew there would be situations that may lead to divorce. However, Christ want married couples to do everything possible to try and keep their marriages together.

I think you found every loophole out of sound doctrine.

Marcus, I am a recent subscriber and enjoy your content 😉 I am a student of the Word, and I believe that correct dividing and interpretation is essential .Marriage in the Old Testament is completely different from marriage under the law .The men of the Old Testament had more than one wife plus concubines. This was not unlawful but accepted with God.Abraham and Jacob, to name a few.As for Esther had never been married and didn't just lay up and commit fornication or adultery. She was obligated to obey the king and had no choice. Also, Bethshba had to obey King David 🤴 As for the marriage under the new Testament is not my point here. I am only saying that the Old Testament people that you named were not fitting for the content presented The only problem that God's command for men not to be unequally yoked.king Solomon took wives that worshipped false God's that turned his heart away from God Almighty. But as you said for the New Testament believers, divorce is permanent until a spouse is deceased unless theirs is abandoning of a spouse for adultery or Christian faith 🤔 the believing spouse is free to remarry but only to a believer not a non Christian 😉 I like your ministry but you should care about what others think about what you are saying .God's Word is not of any private interpretation. The witness within the believers should be able to attest to the truth and solidify that interpretation as being true or false. The Holy Bible is a witness to His Word. I study to be to rightly divide the Word of God and not to change or argue with well-meaning believers that love the love ❤️ the Word of God is meant for correction and reproof .Submitted with humbleness, and Christian love in Jesus Christ ❤️

It was a different covenant and I'm not sure where in scripture Esther committed adultry she wasn't under the new covenant conditions and way that Jesus gave the only narrow way. One requirement that disqualifies many professing pastors are the fact they have more then one wife not that they aren't save or that God will use them in the body but not for the work of bishopric. This is what Jesus teaches through Paul and Timothy and Titus.

It is amazing to see what you have overcome brother, it’s unbelievable, the lengths you had to go to but God has definitely chosen you to speak on all these things to show religious ppl because many are blinded by religion

*In the first 2 mins of this video, what you have said is dead wrong. In the O.T. divorce and remarriage was allowed by Moses. So no they would not be going to hell. But in the N.T. divorce and remarriage while your first spouse is alive is NOT allowed. So people in the N.T. which we are living in now who are divorced and remarried like you are will definitely be going to the lake. Be not deceived.* *In Matt. Jesus was talking to both Jews and Gentiles. Notice how you went to a different translation to justify your lies? The bible does not say "FAITHFUL" wife. Nowhere in Matt. does it say anything about a exception clause concerning ADULTERY. You are spreading lies and doctrines of devils.* *In Matt.**5:28** Jesus did not say if you look at a woman you commit adultery, where did you get that lie from? Jesus said if you look on a woman to LUST...to LUST... to LUST after her... so just looking at a woman is NOT committing adultery, but if you look at her and have LUST, which is a strong desire to want and have her, then you are committing adultery. Just looking at a woman is not committing adultery.* *No, one believes if the tell a lie they are not sinning, if you tell a lie you are definitely sinning , if you steal, fornicate, murder, continue in all those sins you've mentioned... etc...etc...you are sinning. All sin is a one way ticket to hell and you MR is living in adultery and that is both you and the mistress you are now living with... one way ticket to the lake.* *There is no biblical exception in N.T. for divorce and remarriage while your first spouse is still alive, if you continue in that adulterous remarriage situation, you will definitely go to the lake.* *Nowhere in 1 Cor.7:15 does it say if the unbelieving depart, you are then FREE to get married again. Where are you getting your lies from? Not under bondage does not mean you are then free to get married again. Not under bondage means you are not obligated or constrained to keep the unbeliever there, nor to make them stay....God has called us to peace ... let them go. But nowhere does it say when the unbeliever leaves you are then FREE to get married again. You are not rightly dividing scriptures. The scripture does not say you are free and you are not in bondage to the law. You added that, you made that lie up.*

Only Who the Son sets Free is Truly Free indeed .

Stop trying to justify yourself. Wrong is wrong.

Wait a minute side note....i thought Jacob didn't divorce Leah but married both Leah and rachel...a distinguishing factor. There was no divorce he was married to both, consumated his marriage to both, continued to take took care of both, even amongst the wrong that was done to him by labam? Even when he left labans home both leah and rachel came with him. He fidnt put her off and send her away right? Same with king Xerexs/ahasuerus and Esther he didn't divorce vashti she just wasn't allowed to come before him again, that's how I understood it. Seemed He didn't divorce her, and Esther became his second wife but took her position as being the the "queen" i think he still took care of Vashti. David also had 2 wives but he didn't divorce them. I think there is a difference there don't think it was divorce but in new testament we see the heart of Christ, the heart of God I'm the manner of divorce restated as being 1 man and 1 woman bound together

GOD HATES DIVORCE...PERIOD. A righteous man falls 7 times a day and gets up. We all fall short. The wicked find reasons to justify sin and become those who practice sin, becoming those who do not inherit the kingdom. Jesus is not looking to condemn for divorce, adultery, and fortification but to lead us to repentance from that which will lead to destruction...thats why He said to the woman at the well "go and sin no more". Jesus permitted(not encouraged) divorce when adultery was at play, and when an unbelieving spouse leaves one is under no obligation to that one that left. This is a twisted/perverted message meant to justify divorce. So many ridiculous and false comments made in this video. Jesus did not make the path any broader. If you put your spouse aside it is because of your lack of love. How would adam and eve have a public ceremony when they were the only 2 people? Esther is most likely a fictional story. "Do as the pharisees say not as they do". Best not to make a vow over making a vow and not keeping it. The problem with pharisees is that they sought to justify themselves in the eyes of men and not setting their hearts right before God.... becoming white washed tombs. "Do not be decieved, those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom". So marcus, you would have no issues with your wife divorcing you because youve looked at a woman in a lust? Do you realize you had to make a judgment in order do determine someone is a "religious folk" for believing God hates divorce? Nobody has ever "taught it from this angle" because its ridiculous and not taught by our Lord. I was divorce for being legally disabled under false accusations of abuse(even though i was physically assaulted by my x and her family and icommitted no act of violence)...she found a way to justify it in the eyes of man. Jesus did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it, commanded us to love one another(which also fulfills the law). We are not under the law if we are walking in love, but "we know the law is good if one uses it lawfully". Ive defended marcus in the past, but the more i watch the more o realize this guy is trouble...regardless of anointing or amount of followers. GOD HATES DIVORCE. IT IS PERMITTED UMDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. thats all this video needed to say. "This says the Lord God, I will also do with you as you have done, you who have despised the oath by breaking a covenant". HE WAS, IS, AND IS TO COME. HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND TOMORROW.

Marcus bro. while there is grace, and it’s not necessarily a salvation issue, there are consequences for our actions here on earth, and we can be disqualified based on them from certain positions.

God spoke to me about this Also. God told me if I put you two together No man can separate, No paper dictates your marriage, Only God. But to please the people paper is Done , for Man✝️👑✝️ God bless you Brother Marcus. God is the Only one that is able to put you into Hell or Heaven❣️

Thank you for this point!!
