Bible Question:
In this verse it says if a man takes a bride and finds she is not a virgin when he marries her, he may than put her away - divorce her but if her father proves she was a virgin by the tokens, than the man would be chastened. Deut. 22:13-18 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, [14] And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: [15] Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: [16] And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; [17] And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. [18] And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him; Is this the law that Joseph was using to put Mary away when he found that she was pregnant? And Christ referred to in - Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Is not fornication sexual act outside of the marriage covenant? Why do so many today say they can divorce because of adultery? Where does Christ? Paul? allow for divorce because of adultery. It seems if adultery was the reason for divorce than how could that same adulterous spouse than get remarried with the sanction of the church? |
Bible Answer: You have probably heard this before, but it has been said that the act of having sex with another person besides your spouse kills the covenant on your part. This is a mystery and demonstrates the spiritual nature of marraige. Now that being said it has to do with an act of betrayel and the spouse has the right to divorce in that case. However if the couple split for the more common reasons of arguing then they are still in that spiritual covenant as far as God sees it and in the invisible realm there is a bond that you do not see but God sees, so if one or the other remarries and engages in sex there is a crime commited in the spiritual realm of God's moral law and this is a mystery but there are many injustices that go on that we do not understand in the invisible realm. When God says he heard the blood of some crying to him from the ground it is not poetic language but a spiritual reality that we do not hear. Now that being said. If a man commits pornographic additction on the internet, it is not a light thing. Huge and horrible autrosities agains his wife are being committed by him in the spiritual realm and demons are flooding his home like a break in a dam. If he does not take it as a matter of life and death he will lose his wife as sure as if he had committed whoredom with a prostitute which of course is what he is doing in the heart. I could say much more about this hideous plague that is the number one sin in the church today. Just remember that the sin of internet porn is as bad or worse than anything Sodom and Gommorah were doing and this cup of abomination is being drunk by many nations as it has gone out from America first and most often and now infects the whole world. This wickedness is a spark of iniquity that will bring the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience and bring upon their heads swift destruction. It is the full cup of the gentiles (as was the cup of the amorites) that is going to cause God to rise up in indignation and wrath and say "I have born long with you but you will sin yet more and more and now even the pastors and those that should be preaching the word are sitting in their offices and homes drinking in the filth of whoredoms and their eyes are full of adultery and they cannot cease from sin" Oh my brethren that read this post may we repent as a dying man ready to meet God tomorrow and if we are allowed to stay here by the grace of God let us help our brothers get free from this hideous web so prophetically named. |
