The Possession

beeseech

ONE OF MY OWN FAVORITE EXPRESSION IS THAT “THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BEING A LITTLE BIT PREGNANT”.

NOW THIS APPLIES TO ALL CULTS,  WEIRDO’S , EXTREMISTS  INCLUDED. WHEN THEY TEND TO GO OVERBOARD, THEY TEND TO GO REALLY OVERBOARD, EVEN THE FALSE PENTECOSTAL OR EVANGELICAL GROUPS NOW TOO, FOR WHEN THEY ARE WRONG IN ONE ERROR   THEY TEND TO HAVE MANY OTHER MAJOR BIBLICAL DOCTRINAL ERRORS.  AND WHY IS THAT NOW?

NOW ANOTHER GOOD INDICATION TO ME IS HOW ANY PERSON OR GROUPS STANDS IN THEIR VIEW OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.. DO THEY SEE HIM AS GOD, DO THEY ALSO ADMIT, TALK ABOUT HIS GIFTS MINISTRY, PERSONALITY AS WELL

NOW THAT IS SO TRUE WHEN THEY ARE WRONG IN SUCH A VITAL AREA  THEY ARE NEXT WRONG IN SO MANY CAUSE THEY ARE STILL BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT OF DEMONS AND NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT.

In Luke 13:16, Christ cast a demon out of a ‘daughter of Abraham’.

In Matthew, chapter 16, Jesus had just concluded His explanation to His disciples on the true nature of His earthly mission-that He must suffer and die (verse 21). Peter immediately spoke up in an effort to dissuade Christ from going to the cross: “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!” (verse 22). The response of Christ was abrupt and stern. “Get behind Me, Satan!” Jesus said to Peter (verse 23).

In Acts chapter 5, Ananias and Sapphira, members of the early church, lied to the apostle Peter. They had sold some possessions to give to the church, and then had second thoughts and conspired to keep back a portion for themselves. When Peter asked them what amount they had received for the sale, Ananias and Sapphira lied. What was the source of that lie? The apostle Peter said, “Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit” (verse 3). In judgment, God struck them dead. If we accept the assumption that Ananias and Sapphira experienced the new birth in Christ, yet  how else can we explain away the fact that their hearts were filled by Satan to such an extent that they were capable of committing a sin worthy of such abrupt and severe divine judgment?

1 Thessalonians 4:3   Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

You see that even the initially  Holy Spirit filled Christian can falsely still oppose the Holy Spirit next.

Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

The Apostle Judas typifies for  me what a BAD CHRISTIAN is really like.. Judas  is infamously known for his kiss and betrayal of Jesus to the hands of the chief Sanhedrin priests in exchange for a payment of thirty silver coins andh His place among the Twelve Apostles was later filled by Matthias.;  yet woe is upon him, and he would have been better unborn (Matthew 26:23–25).   from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. ( Acts 1:25) 

Some read Iscariot to mean “man of Kerioth,” a city in Judea. This would make Judas the only Judean in the group and an outsider. Others argue that a copyist error transposed two letters and that Judas was named “Sicariot,” a member of the party of the Sicarii. This comes from the Greek word for “assassins” and was a group of fanatical nationalists who thought that the only good Roman was a dead Roman. Judas Iscariot could have been, then, Judas the Terrorist.

We can all easily all know that while Judas professed to follow Jesus Christ, he not only did not give up his stealing ways, but he betrayed Jesus for money, and reelected Jesus because Jesus was not going to reestablish  the Jewish nation as the world wide religious center. Judas expected Jesus to overthrow Roman rule of Israel. In this view, Judas is a disillusioned disciple betraying Jesus not so much because he loved money, but because he loved his country and thought Jesus had failed it  Matthew 27:3    Then Judas, which had betrayeth him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;10 And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.

Most Christians still consider Judas a traitor. Indeed the term Judas has entered many languages as a synonym for betrayer. so Judas does not appear in an of the Epistles of Paul, as He who endures to the end shall be saved..

Now Judas was a Christian,, follower of Jesus who became undeniably Demon possessed and next went to hell. you always have a free will and you chose what spirit you do still have next too. More correctly, the word translated “possession” should simply be rendered “demonized,” that is, under the influence of a demon. 

By the way I cast out 2 demons out of two Christian people in my church after they had repented. .. one was the pastor’s daughter who committed fornication, and the other one HAD made a bind with Satan ..Like I said let the Holy Spirit teach you here not false men.. there is nothing good in men.

Before  I first became involved in exorcisms, I too had assumed that a Christian was immune from the torment of demons. I based that assumption on the influence of other supposedly Christian leaders who convinced me of this.   “The Holy Spirit and an evil spirit can’t dwell in the same vessel.” “Light and darkness cannot co-exist.” The Holy Spirit showed me otherwise..

Anyone searching the Word of God more diligently about the matter of demons influencing Christians, can see that the issue wasn’t as conclusive as  most people had thought. 

The pastors and Bible teachers who had repeatedly reinforced the “Christians can’t have a demon” outlook had very little practical experience with the phenomenon. Clearly even the lack of experiential testimony about such a crucial area of spiritual deliverance was a glaring weakness.. People who are not even filled, baptized with the Holy Spirit falsely want to teach someone who is? absurd! 

Man is a tripartite being (1 Thessalonians 5:23), and there are aspects of the human body, soul, mind  that Satan can always occupy. While he is prohibited from touching the spirit of God’s saints, nothing prevents him from possessing, tormenting the body and soul-if the disobedient conduct of a Christian allows him to do so. 1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

If you continue to sin the last verse does not apply. Casting a demon out of a believer is practiced in many , many churches today as well, I have been to a few of them too. 

In  Ephesians 4:23 Christians are admonished to “be renewed in the spirit of your mind.” If even the mind of the Christian needs renewal, then it stands to reason that when our minds are not renewed, they may be, to some degree, under the control of the ungodly forces.2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 

1 Peter 5 :8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Active and not passive resitance twoards the devil is always required. “Present your bodies a living sacrifice,” we read in Romans 12:1. This means our bodies may not be completely sacrificed to God, and could therefore be  CONTROLLED  by Satan.    James 4: 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Demon possession includes a demon having direct/complete control over the thoughts and/or actions of a person possessed. What you do not believe a dog can return to his vomit?

2 Peter 2: 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Matt 12: 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

Demonic “possession”  means a demon can manifest through the host’s faculties-that is, see with the eyes, speak through the vocal cords, and even subject the person to a trance state of mental oblivion. Deliverance comes when the demon inside is cast outside.   

What about those instances in which a demon manifests in a Christian? In most cases the demon likley had entered before the believer’s conversion to Christianity some say, and the evil spirit continued to control some part of the person’s life because the specific occult sin was never renounced. The demon claims squatter’s rights.

Mark 5:1-20 is the definitive passage on demon possession and its effects in the Bible. Some of the details about demons the Bible reveals in this passage are:

1. Devils want to be near dead human bodies or tombs (vs. 2, 3, 5).

2. They can cause unusual strength (vs. 3-4).

3. They can make a person unreasonable or immune to sensible persuasion (vs. 4).

4. They cause excessive crying (vs. 5).

5. They cause sadistic and masochistic behavior (vs. 5).

6. They have an affinity for heights (vs. 5).

7. They recognize Christ as “the Son of God” and appeal to Him (vs. 6-7).

8. They know they deserve torment and dread it (vs. 6-7).

9. They have names (vs. 9).

10. More than one can possess the same body (vs. 9).

11. They desire to stay in the same geographical region or “country” (vs. 10).

12. They would rather indwell an animal body than none at all (vs. 12).

13. They can cause animals to kill themselves (vs. 13).

14. They desire to be in a body when it dies (vs. 13).

15. They have a desire for water (vs. 13).

Mark 9:17-29 gives us even more details about devils:

16. They can cause dumbness and deafness (vs. 17, 25).

17. They cause rabid animal like behavior (vs. 18).

18. They can indwell from childhood (vs. 21).

19. They cause suicidal behavior (vs. 22).

20. They resist leaving a body and violently “rent” it while leaving (vs. 26).

21. There are different kinds of devils. Some have more power than others (vs. 29).

22. Some can only be removed by prayer and fasting of believer (vs. 29).

How Does Possession Come About? Uncontrolled anger,  Unforgiveness,  Fear, Unbelief, sexual immorality, impaired, drunkeness, occult involvement, cursing others, witchcraft , etc.

.
“If you’re a Christian and you don’t think you can have a demon – You have a demon,”

.
Demon possessed by a tormentor.. God’s spirit in King Saul was replaced by an evil spirit 1 Samuel 16:14 14But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. 15And Saul’s servants said to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubles you. 16Let our lord now command your servants, which are before you, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is on you, that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well. … .Saul was afflicted with “an evil spirit” as a punishment for his insistent defiance of God’s will. He had committed flagrant violation of God’s commands on two previous occasions (1 Samuel 13:13-14; 15:11,19)…

.

Matthew 18:34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him..

.

1 Corinthians 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5To deliver such an one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? The devil by nature is a murderer (John 8:44). His rebellion against God changed his character and has made him a force that naturally kills and destroys all that comes under his power.
In Revelation 9:11, he is called Abaddon and Apollyon. Both names mean Destroyer. Paul understands that someone may be delivered “unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh” (1Corinthians 5:5).

.
So, what about the sending of evil spirits by the Lord? This may be more common in scripture than you think. In Psalm 78:49, God judged Israel “by sending evil angels among them.” In Judges 9:23, “God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem.” In 1Kings 22:22, God sent a “lying spirit” in the mouth of the false prophets to send Ahab to his death. In the passage in question (1Samuel 16:14-15), God removed His Spirit from the disobedient Saul. This opened the door for an evil spirit to come and torment Saul. Though in this passage, it is only the servants of Saul that said the evil spirit was from the Lord, in other passages (1Samuel 18:10; 19:9), the text states that the evil spirit came from the Lord. When God removes His protective hand,the Lord allowed or permitted the distressing spirit to come upon Saul, he often turns the person over to Satan for destruction or to an evil spirit for torment. The devil and the evil spirits do the work, but God has allowed them to do what come natural to them for His own purpose.He uses evil to chastise evil” I know this concept it is thoroughly established in scripture. God does not commit wickedness, but He uses the wicked for His purpose. In the end, God will have His glory. How much better it is for us to submit to Him and obey Him willingly.

.

When adequate evidence is gathered, the facts may be understood in such a way that God is shown to be righteous and free from unfair treatment of Saul. Like every other accountable human being who has ever lived, Saul made his own decisions, and reaped the consequences accordingly God does allow evil spirits to torment people today, He still does so for all of our good, as an example to others, and for His glory

.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;  

.

”Demonic transference of spirits via sex is the transference of evil or unholy spirits via sexual intercourse activities.There is a very powerful transference of spirits via sex and it is the easiest ways through which evil spirits are transferred easily from one person to another. In every 100 percent of negative or unholy transference of spirits; over 85 percent are traceable from or to someone past very rough sexual activities. The Holy Bible tells us in (1Cor.6:16) that if you are jointed sexually with a harlot ; you both become one, so, if you have sexual relationship with a highly demonized persons or occultist agents, witchcraft agents, fetish priests, marine human agents; this would easily bring unholy transference of spirits from such a person to anyone involved.” Curse or curses from God as a result of immorality/sexual perversion practices (Lev.18:1-30;Lev.20:13;Lev.18:22;Romans1:26-27). 

.

“Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.” -1st Corinthians 10:8

.

MORE of the ways in which demons can be transferred easily via unholy sexual activities: 1.Illicit sexual involvement( not yet married but having illicit sexual affairs of fornication) can delay someone not to get married in time; because, demons can easily pass through such an express avenue to delay or block someone marriage.

2.Infidelity:Immoral act by either on the side of a man or woman within any instituted marriage life can easily open door for demons transferring or invading the party involved(Deut.22:22;Lev.20:10;Matt.5:27-28).

3.Homosexuality(lesbianism/Gay) sexual activities undertakings (Lev.20:13).

4.Bestiality sexual involvement( man having sex with an animal/woman having sex with an animal)Exo.22:19;Lev.20:15-16.

5.Incest sexual activities involvements: An act of having sexual intercourse with someone that is very close to oneself(abomination):

a. Unholy sexual activities with one’s parent(man or woman):Lev.18:7.

b.Unholy sexual activities with one’s stepmother:Lev.20:11;Lev.18:8.

c. Unholy sexual activities with one’s sister:Deut.27:22;Lev.20:17.

d. Unholy sexual activities with one’s aunt:Lev.18:12-13;Lev.20:19.

e. Unholy sexual activities with one’s uncle:Lev.18:14.

f. Unholy sexual activities with one’s daughter -in – law:Lev.18:15;Lev.20.12.

g. Unholy sexual activities with one’s brother’s wife:Lev.18:15;Lev.20:21.

h. Unholy sexual activities with a mother and grand daughter:Lev.18:17.

i. Unholy sexual activities with two sisters:Lev.18:18.

j. Unholy sexual activities with one’s sister – in – law :Lev.20:21.

k. Unholy, immoral sexual activities with one’s grandchild, relative

6.Sexual intercourse undertakings during one’s menstruation:Lev.20:18;Lev.18:19.

7.Anal sex practices or  8.Oral sex practices.

9.Harlotry promotions, practices and visitations(1Cor.6:9).

10.Nude beaches promotions, practices and visitations “nude beaches are existing presently in some western countries”.

.

Face it too It can ALL NOW also led to someone having demonic spiritual husband/wife and children IN REALITY WHO STILL EVEN FALSELY THINK THEY ARE Christians

.

And there is no place in the Bible that conclusively says Christians can’t be possessed. But, on the contrary, there are passages that do indicate that demon possession of believers CAN occur when they backslide from God.

.

1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

.

To sum up what we learned above, we know Satan and devils do exist, we know they are unembodied spirits that work in the spiritual realm, they desire to and are able to indwell humans (also animals) and influence their bodies and minds for evil, they vary in power and authority, but all are more powerful than man, and they can be controlled or cast out by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ if you confess your sins and turn your life to Jesus, all of it..

.
As per “my biggest demons would have too be alcohol lust and swearing” or “sexual lusts” means you have not died to self, have not taken up your Cross, you still do not have the fruit of the holy spirit, the filling of the holy Spirit, to over come the lust of the flesh.. Admit your sins, confess them and become Holy Spirit Baptized.. the only way you can be delivered from these demons

.

Demons have been here since the beginning of human history.  The same demons that infiltrated the antediluvian civilization in the days of Noah are alive and active today.  They have infiltrated every area of life from childhood to adulthood, from play to marriage, from sports to work.  They EVEN DO falsely seek to destroy Marriage Culture,

.

 In 1 Corinthians 6 and 7, Paul reprimanded the Church, the Christian  strongly for their marital infidelity. 1 cor 6:1 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 12    All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

.

Mark 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

.

Romans 6: 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

.

Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

.

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

.

Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

.

1 Corinthians 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

.

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

.

24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

.

And there followed another angel, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink of the wine of the passion of her fornication. (Revelation 14:8)

 .

and upon her forehead a name was written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF WHORES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” (Revelation 17:5)

.

Hell is a real place where those who go there are “tormented day and night forever and ever;” not a temporary holding place, not a place where the unjust suffer for a time and then fade into nonexistence. Hell is a real place that lasts forever and there will be “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 13:42) because the punishment is conscious.

.

Is it worth it all?

LOVE

“Really is being someone’s wife and another’s mother  really worth the  full investment of a life? Does it take preparation of skills,  concentration of energies, and the commitment of both to keep a happy home? ” Can  she even have a significant input , contribution into her husband and her  children now too? and here too one will reap what one  has sown here as well..  

.

Firstly still many ” Women have been  liberated right out of the genuine freedom they enjoyed for centuries to oversee  the home, rear the children, and pursue personal creativity; they have been  brainwashed to believe that the absence of a titled, payroll occupation enslaves  a woman to failure, boredom, and imprisonment within the confines of home. “ Men  and even pastors  too have made these same errors, seduced  that a career  advancement is more important over meeting all the needs of your family. Realize  still   the important role a woman plays in the development of a Christian home.  A woman who has God rightfully as the center of her life  will prove to be the most valuable asset, influence  to her husband, her  children and many others too. In Proverbs 31, Solomon highlights the life of a  “worthy woman.” He sets forth a number of important roles for such a woman  including being a good woman, a good wife, a good mother, and a good neighbor.  By displaying such roles, a worthy woman will not only benefit those around her,  but she will also bring to herself and to her own husband a good  name..

.

If a person has never known real   love   then it  is a hard for them next even to show it to their spouse or children. As per  Titus 2:4-5. A the young women are to be taught how to love their husbands and  their children! This indicates that we need to be taught to love.. How many got  this teaching these days? Very few.. Titus 2 also  states that the young wives  are to be self-controlled and pure. Self-control is one of the fruit  of the  Holy Spirit that few people have yet; Also purity springs from the  love for the  Lord Jesus Christ as  even Philippians 1 makes it  clear. And 1 John 4:19 We  love him, because he first loved us. 

.

1 Cor. 13:4-8 also now tells us: ‘Love is patient,  love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not  rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of  wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always  protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never  fails

Most Women today are  also still so disconnected  from maturity, decency that they marry or move in with the richest, or the  most  handsome man they can find, despite his suspected, quite flawed personality,   character,  and they will sooner or later weep for it too. It is thus all not  surprising when they spend so much time in the pigs pen instead of eating from  the Word of God, Jesus Christ and the Bible.. 2 Corinthians 5: 17 Therefore if  any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold,  all things are become new.

 ‘Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ  is born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves His child as well. This  is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out  His commands. And His commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God  overcomes the world. This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our  faith. Who is he that overcomes the world? Only he that believes that Jesus is  the Son of God.’ (1 John 5:1-5). Christ is the strength of the believer’s life,  He has given us His Holy Spirit as our Counsellor. (See John 16: 5-15) 

.

‘I lift up my eyes to the hills – where does my  help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.’  (Psalm 121:1-2)

It’s sadly is too common today even for a young  Christian wife to be seduced, to rebel against home life as her primary  ministry,  for the false  romance, a career, an equitable marriage  and anything  else that rather tends to lead to vanity and bitterness.  

.

If you  continue to willfully, continually disobey  your husband “you are indirectly rebelling against God shaking your fist at God.  You even have no faith in the will of God being attained for your life nor will  it be.. the best you can hope for or expect next thus  is the painful  divorce.. 

Instead of falsely dwelling on what you think you  do deserve, you should be thinking that you are here  to serve the Lord Jesus  Christ graciously, even as to how ever He chooses. Turn from the too often still  wrong thinking about your spouse to the rather right thinking about God and your  responsibility to honor and worship Him even in your home, marriage,  family.

.

Titus 2: 1    But speak thou the things which  become sound doctrine:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in  faith, in charity, in patience.3 The aged women likewise, that they be in  behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine,  teachers of good things;4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to  love their husbands, to love their children,5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at  home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not  blasphemed.6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.7 In all things  shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness,  gravity, sincerity,8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of  the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.9 Exhort  servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all  things; not answering again;10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity;  that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.11 For the  grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,12 Teaching us  that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly,  righteously, and godly, in this present world;13 Looking for that blessed hope,  and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;14 Who  gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto  himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.15 These things speak, and  exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Now “Though feminism speaks of liberation,  self-fulfillment, personal rights, and breaking down barriers, these phrases  inevitably mean the opposite.  In  fact, the opposite is true because a salaried job and titled position can  inhibit a woman’s natural nesting instinct and maternity by inverting her  priorities so that failures almost inevitably come in the rearing of her own  children and the building of an earthly shelter for those whom she loves most.  The mundane accompanies every task, however high paying or prestigious the job,  so that escape from boredom is not inevitable just because your workplace is not  at home. And where is the time for personal creativity when you are in essence  working two jobs-one at home and one away?”  Jesus own  words are very  applicable and to the point here too.. Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited,  if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man  give in exchange for his soul?

.

Perseverance is needed in marriage if we are to  please God’s will for our life, our full happiness and fulfillment. . The  present trend in the world at large is  to allow any difficulties, objections to  become the cause for separation and divorce is very lamentable as in Malachi  2:16 we find these words: ‘I hate divorce’.

.

“Wives, be  submissive to your own husbands so that even if some husbands are disobedient to  the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they  observe your chaste and respectful behavior. Your adornment must not be merely  external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but  let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a  gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of  God.”[ (1 Peter 3:1-4)

.

Sadly still “ Too many women rush headlong into a  career outside the home, determined to waste no time or effort on housework or  baby-sitting but rather seeking to achieve position and means by directing all  talents and energies toward non-home professional pursuits. It is true that many  “perfect jobs” may come and go during the childrearing years, but only one will  absolutely never come along again-the job of rearing your own children and  allowing them the increasingly rare opportunity to grow up at home.  “ and you  will be shocked how quickly your kids will grow up without you and leave home  for good to be on their own. will not any longer desire you, will have no need  for you too.. And you will be retired and likely all alone next  too..

.

“Homemaking is a career. Keeping the home is God’s  assignment to the wife-even down to changing the sheets, doing the laundry, and  scrubbing the floors. In Titus 2:3-5,  Paul admonishes the older women to teach the younger  women, among other things, “to love their husbands and children, … to be busy at  home” (oikourgous, Greek, literally “home-workers”). The home was once described  as “… a place apart, a walled garden, in which certain virtues too easily  crushed by modern life could be preserved,” and the mother in this home was  described as “The Angel in the House.” A Gallup poll showed that more than eight  out of ten respondents (82 percent) assigned top priority on an eleven-point  scale to the importance of family life. Families, health, and self-respect all  were rated as more important than the possession of material goods.” Some of  these people learned these truths the hard way.. Secular materialism, wealth  does not make one happy still in reality.. As any women, you  also need not look out into the world for your role models but to the God  and  to the Bible alone.. For many it will righfully mean a sacrifice of a career,  that big new house, furnishings, that beautiful new car, and/or those great  vacations. But what a small sacrifice to make for the ability to play an  important role in the making of a happy and a godly home. The rewards will far  exceed anything in this life too that we can imagine. That is why you should  desire to be a good, godly woman, wife, and mother over  all.

“  Homemaking, if pursued with energy, imagination,  and skills, has as much challenge and opportunity, success and failure, growth  and expansion, perks and incentives as any corporation, plus something no other  position offers-working for people you love most and want to please the most!”  It takes real  work, and personal laziness and fantasizing, unrealistic  expectations will lead to serious failure even here.

.

Homemaking is stll the preparing of the meals,   washing the dishes, and the the clothes, vacuuming and cleaning the home ,  decorating the house, grocery shopping too,  getting the kids dressed, insuring  they get to school and do their homework as well.. Sadly too many wives had not  been prepared even  by their parents for this rile and need to learn  some discipline  to do this work as well as it will not get done by  itself.

.

“The New Testament, too, is clear in its emphasis  on a woman’s needed and necessary energy and efficiency in managing her  household ( Titus 2:5, 1 Tim 2:10, 5:24) 

.

When Jesus reprimanded Martha, He did  not condemn the vital housework she was doing; neither did He decry the gracious  hospitality extended to Himself (Jesus did not say only one thing is needful but  pointed to the one thing Martha had omitted). He did admonish her not to be  encumbered or burdened by her work to the exclusion of spiritual sustenance,  which Mary had so faithfully sought  (Luke 10:36-42 )

.

One is never to neglect spiritual preparation-not even for  the joy of serving others. The best way to make homemaking a joyous task is to  offer it as unto the Lord; the only way to avoid the drudgery in such mundane  tasks is to bathe the tasks with prayer and catch a vision of the divine  challenge in making and nurturing a home. Brother Lawrence, a member of the  barefoot Carmelite monks in Paris in the 1600s, set a worthy example: “Lord of  all pots and pans and things … Make me a saint by getting meals and washing up  the plates! … The time of business does not with me differ from the time of  prayer, and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen … I possess God in as great  tranquillity as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament.””

.

For the fools who are falsely seduced away from  their home responsibilities.. Yet God’s warning through the prophet Ezekiel  could not be more timely:  And you took your sons and daughters whom you bore to  me and sacrificed them as food to the idols… . Everyone who quotes proverbs will  quote this proverb about you: “Like mother, like daughter.” You are a true  daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and her children; and you are  a true sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and their children.  (Ezekiel 16:20, 44-45).

.

 God gave us life, he gave us dominion over the earth and fellowship with him  forever. But, in the wink of an eye, Adam and Eve chose to disobey a single  command, essentially betraying the trust that God had placed into humanity.  

.

Now we all  need to repent of our personal betrayal against God. We must first  seek God with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength and his will and plan  for out life, not rather our own. 

.

Luke 21:16, “And ye shall be betrayed both by  parents, and brethren, and kinfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they  cause to be put to death.

.

People who place money and material items before  God must pay close attention to the story of Apostle  Judas.

.

Note that the unacceptable sin of idolatry and  the sin of adultery are related in God’s eyes.. the lust for material things and next sexual lust are al a part of the false lust of our  flesh.. which needs to be subdued.
.
Eze 6:8-9 (NIV) “…How I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts, which have turned away from me, and by their eyes, which have lusted after their idols. They will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their detestable practices.”
.
James 4:3-4 (Phi) You don’t get what you want because you don’t ask God for it. And when you do ask he doesn’t give it to you, for you ask in quite the wrong spirit–you only want to satisfy your own desires. You are like unfaithful wives, never realizing that to be the world’s lover means becoming the enemy of God! Anyone who chooses to be the world’s friend is thereby making himself God’s enemy
.
Col 3:5-6 (Jer) That is why you must kill everything in you that belongs only to earthly life: fornication, impurity, guilty passion, evil desires and especially greed, which is the same thing as worshipping a false god. All this sort of behavior makes God angry. (Eph 5:5)
.
Ex 20:3-4 (NIV) “You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.”
.
Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness … (KJV)
.
Ephesians 5:3–5 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. (KJV)
.
1 Corinthians 6:9–10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (KJV)
.
Ezekiel 16:35-42, “Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God; Because thy filthiness was poured out and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them; Behold, therefore Iwill gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I wil1 even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness. And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I wil1 give thee blood in fury and jealousy. And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare. They shall bring up a company against thee, and shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shalt give no hire anymore. So I  will make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.”

What if God asked you to give up all of your  belongings and money in order to become a true disciple of Jesus? How would you  respond? (see Mark 10:17-31).;

.

Proverbs 15:16 Better is little with the fear of  the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith. 17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than  a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

.

Proverbs 16:8 Better is a little with righteousness  than great revenues without right.

16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold!  and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

.

Proverbs 17:1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness  therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.

Proverbs 19:1 Better is the poor that walketh in  his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

“Some women even claim to have a higher focus on  serving God-putting the spread of gospel ahead of  the “family” While no one and  nothing must come between a woman and her personal relationship to Christ (“But  seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given  to you as well,” Matthew 6:33), neither does the Bible contain any admonition to place the work of  the church ahead of her home responsibilities. When a woman has chosen the high  calling of being a wife, her submission to her husband is “as to the Lord”  (Ephesians 5:22). When she chooses the high calling of motherhood, “Sons are  a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him” (Psalm 127:3); this, too, is itself an offering to the Lord.” Also “ Teach them  [God’s words] to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when  you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up… so that your  days and the days of your children may be many in the land that the Lord swore  to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens are above the  earth. (Deuteronomy 11:19, 21)”
.

Also still “ The wife was created by God to be her  husband’s “helper” (ezer kenegdo, Hebrew, literally “a help like or  corresponding to himself,” Genesis 2:18). There  is nothing demeaning about being a helper. It is a challenging and rewarding  responsibility. God Himself assumed that role on many occasions (Psalm 40:17, “You  are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not delay”; Hebrews 13:6, “So we  say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper’”). This did not mean that the Lord  was an inferior but spoke rather of His desire to meet the needs of those whom  He loves with an everlasting and unconditional love. Through the ages some have  held that women are inferior to men, but the attempt to attribute such an idea  to Scripture is unthinkable.  “ They have been falsely seduced by the devil into  a false pride of who they really are and what role they need to play. Accept him  as a spiritual leader. Pray for your husband; Do not try to change him leave  that to God to do it. Accept his relationship with his mom and do not be jealous  of it, try to destroy it or compete with it..

.

Genesis 2:24-25: Therefore a man shall leave his  father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one  flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.  

.

1 Corinthians 7:3-5:The husband should give to his  wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife  does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the  husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not  deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you  may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may  not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

.

It is also not the sex that still makes a marriage  work, successful but your hard work and your love ..

.

“  When a godly wife is all she ought to be, she  completes, complements, and extends her husband. Their joint ministry reaches  beyond what either of them could do alone (Psalm 34:3Ecclesiastes 4:9-12).” otherwise their marriage will become a real hell.. There still is  great personal happiness, fulfillment, joy in a really happy, successful  marriage and a really  great sorrow, pain in a failed one too.

.

Mark 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the  deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the  word, and it becometh unfruitful.

.

1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into  temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men  in destruction and perdition.

.

Romans 6: 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your  mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Demons have been here since the  beginning of human history.  The same demons that infiltrated the antediluvian  civilization in the days of Noah are alive and active today.  They have  infiltrated every area of life from childhood to adulthood, from play to  marriage, from sports to work.  They EVEN DO falsely seek to destroy Marriage  Culture.

.

 In 1  Corinthians 6 and 7, Paul reprimanded the Church, the Christian  strongly for  their marital infidelity. 1 cor 6:1 9 Know ye not that the  unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither  fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of  themselves with mankind,10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor  revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.11 And such were  some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in  the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 12    All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not  expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the  power of any.13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall  destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord;  and the Lord for the body.14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also  raise up us by his own power.15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of  Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an  harlot? God forbid.16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is  one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.17 But he that is joined unto  the Lord is one spirit.18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is  without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own  body.19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which  is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?20 For ye are bought  with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are  God’s.

.

Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to  uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies  between themselves:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural  use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working  that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their  error which was meet.

.

Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,  and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
.

1 Corinthians 10:6 Now these things were our  examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also  lusted.

.

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit,  and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and  the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so  that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the  flesh with the affections and lusts.

.

But there were also false prophets among the  people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring  in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on  themselves swift destruction.  And many will follow their destructive ways,  because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will  exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been  idle, and their destruction does not slumber.  For if God did not spare the  angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of  darkness, to be reserved for judgment;  and did not spare the ancient world, but  saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the  flood on the world of the ungodly;  and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah  into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who  afterward would live ungodly;  and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by  the filthy conduct of the wicked  (for that righteous man, dwelling among them,  tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless  deeds)-  then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to  reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, 2 Peter  2:1-9

.
But I want to remind you, though you  once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,  afterward destroyed those who did not believe. Jude  1:5

.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under  the law.  Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,  fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,  idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions,  jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,  envy,  murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand,  just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will  not inherit the kingdom of God.  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,  peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,  self-control. Against such there is no law.  And those who are Christ’s have  crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  If we live in the Spirit,  let us also walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:18-25

.

And there followed another angel, saying, Fallen, fallen is  Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink of the wine of the passion of  her fornication. (Revelation 14:8)

.

and upon her forehead a name was  written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF WHORES AND OF THE  ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”  (Revelation 17:5)

.

PS  Have also your own support system. Not with the  devil and his cohorts, or your worldly bad friends but with God – Jesus Christ   himself.. There talk to him, share your insights and concerns with Him and also  do  listen to his response as well!

FIRSTLY DID YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, A SERIOUS ONE AND PUT YOUR FAMILY BEFORE GOD, FOR GOD NEXT WILL SHOW YOU YOUR ERROR, HE WILL SHOW YOU WHAT YOUR FAMILY IS REALLY LIKE NOW TOO..

Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. Mat 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. Mat 10:36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. Mat 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

These days it is very likley that you get divorced as likley as you will get cancer or a heart disease.. many divorces are ALSO caused even by outside influences.. such by the input of bad persons too… demons such as lawyers, bad judges, relatives and the  bad pastors too.. http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/the-problem-of-doing-your-own-thing/

.

John 4:16    Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 17    The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: 18    For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

I draw your attention to this women that Jesus himself had  encountered whose numerous husbands did not meet her needs.

John 4: 10    Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 13    Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14    But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 15    The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

God alone has the sole final thirst quencher too..

 All these clearly fools, perverse judges, lawyers, and spouses show us all openly again and again what they are really like by their own bad acts HERE TOO. http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/01/02/divorce-and-remarriage-in-the-christian-church/

Sad but true also that  most liars falsely do not admit lying is a bad sin..Sad that most people do lie..cause they falsely still do believe that it can produce good for them and others.. but that is not so.. and. continual liars do now even become mentally sick persons.. http://canada.today.tripod.com/d/lying.htm
.
LET’S ALSO  NOT PRETEND TO BE DUMB AND DENY THAT MANY OF THE SPOUSES AND THEIR LAWYERS, SUPPORTERS OFTEN WASTE THE COURT’S TIME AND TAX PAYER’S MONEY FOR  THEY DO LIE IN DIVORCE DISPUTE TO THE COURTS TOO.. DO COMMIT PERJURY TO TH COURTS  AND RARELY FACE ANY NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR IT.
.
One cause of many of the marriage problem is a false pride, family pride, the lying wife even bragging how good her family, parents are or how good her husband is.. for pride is a very deadly sin, and also the problem of gifts.. There is no one who is Just, Good according to the Bible too.

 .

(Deu 16:19 KJV)  Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
(Prov 17:8 KJV)  A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
(Prov 17:23 KJV)  A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
(Eccl 7:7 KJV)  Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
.
Perverted by gifts.  I have seen it happen, Husbands have complained about it to me as well, one  of many serious reasons a marriage can break down is the meddling in laws, where the mother and father in law, brother or sister give a gift to the wife, and she next indecently, independently  refuses to share this gift with her husband, but on top of that she loses respect for her husband, cause he did not give this money to her, this same gift is actually a bribe that destroys the marriage. The gift should have been given to the husband and not the wife.
.
(1 Cor 11:3 KJV)  But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
(Eph 5:23 KJV)  For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
(1 Pet 2:7 KJV)  Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
(Psa 5:5 KJV)  The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
(Prov 9:6 KJV)  Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
(Prov 9:13 KJV)  A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
(Prov 14:1 KJV)  Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
(Prov 15:7 KJV)  The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
..
Many people falsely believe that because they are married  professing Christians they are spared, immune from all marriage problems and divorce. The high rate of divorce amongst even evangelical Christians is also now due to the fact they are merely Playing religion and merely going to church for show which is totally inadequate as well. No matter what the false excuse, false justification one now offers, when one is often busy doing their own will, their own thing  and following after mere men instead of God directly, and with continual ungodliness and continuing in sin without continual repentance, it is not at all now possible even by grace to even stay as  a genuine believer! Next that is why as I have  have witnessed directly the last 5 decades too that at least 50 percent of once loudly professing Christians now they are no longer by their own personal choice too walking with God. A recent survey shows that 70 percent of evangelical pastors have admitted to adultery, and about 30 percent of evangelicals practice martial divorce that God hates as a direct result too. Their spiritual downfall is related that almost all of these people really do not know God, they have heard of him, but they are drastically failing to personally know him more everyday, especially  when 85 percent of professing Christians are playing religion only, for they do spend less than 5 minutes a day in God’s word, thus with God. When they all, even the pastors now should be with God in prayer  and in his word at least one hour a day.. yet these same people can find time for other bad things though. So God is not mocked what they sow they reap, and where they the sow nothing, they reap nothing.. For faith comes by hearing and hearing comes from abiding in God Word, the same Bible, word that will keep a believer in God’s will and will keep them next from sin. The unrepentant sins will keep a person next away from prayer, God and the Bible.. many professing Christians have clearly built their house on sinking sand instead of the solid rock Jesus thus. Be ye also doers of God’s words and not mere hearers.

If you still do have a God shaped vacuum that is unfilled, then no other things, no relationships or careers, goals, next will satisfy you, not any personal, social, community relationships..
  …
Note this reality.. like it or not.. believe it or not..
Both fornicators and adulterers are excluded from Heaven. They are pursuing vanities as far as God is concerned..
   ..
“Have you not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? Be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit. And certain of you were these! But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God” (1 Cor 6:9).
 .
(James 4:5 KJV)  Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
.
(Eccl 7:17 KJV)  Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?
(Jer 5:4 KJV)  Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
(Ezek 13:3 KJV)  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
(Gal 3:3 KJV)  Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
(1 Tim 6:9 KJV)  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
(Titus 3:3 KJV)  For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

We all do even  need to seriously know, differentiate between how God now deals with the wicked, those persons deliberately disobedient to him, he God does not go along with them for sure .. God’s grace of forgiveness even does not extend to everyone..
and next the righteous those people who put their trust in him.. God is merciful, kind to them, but not all professing Christians now are righteous for sure as well.
 .
Every time you do openly speak or write a great truth, a valid complaint now too,  the devil next will try to use someone to try to discredit it and you and I do not have to accept it too. Verbal, emotional, physical, legal, Human rights  abuses are unacceptable for all.. Ironically some  of the biggest bullies I have encountered in Canada themselves had claimed to be good persons and that they themselves supposedly  were being bullied, abused by others .The issue of dealing effectively with the too many  false bullies on the web also now needs to be addressed..  I too do believe that we all have the right , in turns, to speak , to be heard as well, still when I see any person next resorting to merely personal attacks, name calling of others, such as  calling them ” Vile, Low Life, Criminal, Hoodlum,  Scum Bag , Crass Miscreant, Serial Online criminal, and disgusting Sociopath  ”  they should note that firstly themselves have lost it all already.. have lost both support and credibility now as well, for in fact they now are no better than the person they are supposedly complaining about. Even if they call themselves now professing Christians for Satan and his fallen angels also like to masquerade themselves as Angels of light. Messengers of the truth.. for  I do next also expose what they are like, really bad persons, to all..  I did not hesitate to expose now rightfully such person myself.. even if they were relatives of mine.. or fellow citizens.   By their own doings, fruit you still tell what a person now is like.. (Mat 7:2 KJV)  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4  Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5  Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. .
.
Verbal abuse is always unacceptable too. So are the Bullies now too
 .
Many People usually accuse others of what they are guilty themselves, that is why they are so conscious of it often..
  .

Desperate people try also to get personal about others when they cannot disprove the facts.. But still how ironic they are now even next condemned  by their own words, the beam in their  own eyes, and the distorted  accusations of others thus! People who ask others not to judge them ironically are often  judging the others  for supposedly judging the others.

.

God still does not overlook unrepentant sins.. so wake up.. especially the sins involving the abuse of others. The abusers now matter who they are seem to like to  give it to others but can’t take a rebuke themselves  ehh..  they need to Stop telling the  others what to do .. to live it themselves first .. for what you are speak louder than any of your words

.

when the Holy Spirit comes he will also reprove the world of sin, judgment, righteousness.. and not be an Ostrich to their  own sins, wrong doings

.

I do not think much of control freaks, bullies too and do   see also my many posts on how to deal with control freaks.. abusers..

it is not good for the man to dwell alone

God says ‘that it is not good for the man to dwell alone’ (Gen 2:18), therefore he created a wife for Adam.

 I agree  a man needs to find a wife and a woman needs to find a husband. Paul says that if an unmarried person cannot exercise self-control 1 they should marry. (1Co 7:8-9 ESV) To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am. (9) But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion.  Paul says something along similar lines later in Ch 7. (1Co 7:36-37 ESV) If anyone thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed, if his passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry–it is no sin. (37) But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well.

(1 Th 4:3-7 NIV) It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; {4} that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, {5} not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; {6} and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. {7} For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.

(Titus 2:6 NIV) Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.

(1 Cor 7:2 NIV) But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. \

(Prov 18:22 NIV) He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.

 In 1 Cor 6:12, Paul says ‘”Everything is permissible for me”–but I will not be mastered by anything’. If we become slaves to a bad habit, then we are not in control of our body.

(1 Cor 6:12-13 NIV) “Everything is permissible for me”–but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me”–but I will not be mastered by anything. {13} “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food”–but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

(1 Cor 7:1-4 NIV) Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry. {2} But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. {3} The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. {4} The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife.

(Phil 4:7-8 NIV) And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. {8} Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.

In 1 Th 4:4-5 Paul tells us that “each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God”. Also in 2 Tim 2:22 Paul’s advice to Timothy, is to flee the evil desires of youth, and a positive command is introduced , which is to pursue righteousness, faith love and peace.

(Titus 2:6) Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.

2 Tim 2:22 Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

(1 Cor 6:15-20 NIV) Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! {16} Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” {17} But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit. {18} Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. {19} Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; {20} you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
Again the problem here is that the Corinthians were going to a prostitute and becoming one body, or one flesh with the prostitute. Paul argues that our bodies are a member of Christ himself, and that we should not unite them with a prostitute. He is sinning against his body by uniting it with a prostitute. This is certainly not the case with masturbation. However perhaps 1 Cor 6:19-20 are more relevant to masturbation, we are not our own, we were bought at a price, therefore we should honour God with our body. It is hard to see that masturbation is honoring to God, while sex within marriage is.

(Mat 5:28 NIV) But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

(Job 31:1 NIV) “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl.

(Mat 5:29 NIV) If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

(Phil 4:8 NIV) Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.

(Prov 24:16 NIV) for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity.

James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

(Mat 18:21-22 NIV) Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” {22} Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

(Heb 2:17-18 NIV) For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. {18} Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. (Heb 3:1 NIV) Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.

(Heb 12:4 NIV) In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

(1 Cor 10:13 NIV) No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

(Prov 5:18-20 NIV) May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. {19} A loving doe, a graceful deer– may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love. {20} Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another man’s wife?

(1 Tim 4:1-5 NIV) The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. {2} Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. {3} They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. {4} For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, {5} because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

1Co 7:33-34 ESV But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, (34) and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband.

1Co 7:12-16 ESV To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. (13) If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. (14) For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. (15) But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace. (16) Wife, how do you know whether you will save your husband? Husband, how do you know whether you will save your wife?

(1 Cor 6:13 NIV) “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food”–but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

My Most Popular Post in The Focus on the Family

 

Popularity for all days in descending order

 

It is no secret that so many Marriages are messed up even in Christian homes now too, 30 percent divorce rates,  due to Laziness, Unrealistic expectations, Spoiled brats, and Uncontrolled sexual lusts, Viewing and reading porn.. for sure it seems undeniably firstly the parents have failed in properly raising their children to deal with life, and so next next have the schools and the churches too , when even most even evangelical pastors as we know  are inadequate, not spirit filled, commit adultery and counsel divorce wrongfully too

  

 

The false divorce incentives

(Luke 14:31 KJV)  Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32  Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
 
 (James 4:5 KJV)  Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
 If you still do have a God shaped vacuum that is unfilled, then no other things, no relationships or careers, goals, next will satisfy you, not any personal, social, community relationships..
 
Note this reality.. like it or not.. believe it or not..
 
Both fornicators and adulterers are excluded from Heaven. They are pursuing vanities as far as God is concerned..
 
“Have you not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? Be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit. And certain of you were these! But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God” (1 Cor 6:9).
 
 Some of the reasons that relationships and even marriages fail are unrealistic expectations, greed, lies,  laziness and a spouse has false personal values, false assumptions, -the myth of the greener grass, and also the inablity to handle the sheer pace, stress of  of life. And for sure sexual infidelity will tend to kill a marriage, be an immediate grounds for a divorce too.
 

The Marriages that slide downward go through these stages: romance, reality, resentment, unforgiveness – bitterness  and rebellion – divorce.

still excludes the common realty also that bad friends, bad relatives, others do work hard to break up the marriages too….

Key steps that help to break this cycle and to change marriages are for a start…

First, open your life fully to God. (Luke 6:27). Without God in control of your life these days it is likely your marriage ALSO  next will fail

-Second, follow God’s ways continually. (Ephesians 5:1)

– Honor each other: be faithful and committed, recognize the dignity and special worth of all others, admire, affirm and celebrate each other, and avoid continual fault-finding.

Our personal beliefs and feelings toward people tend to follow what we believe about them. A judgment is MY interpretation of someone’s life at a point in time, it still doesn’t give the whole picture and becomes a label by which I narrowly view and interpret that person. What are some reasons some people too often “put-down” or judge  others rather than affirm, accept them with Christ’s unconditional love? They firstly do not have the real love themselves. They likely come from troubled, divorced homes or are in a troubled marriage, home.

“A love that cherishes is patient and kind (1 Cor. 13:4). To be patient means “to take a long time to boil” and is the opposite of rudeness and irritability. Patience celebrates  our strengths and validates our uniqueness. Kindness involves being gentle, sensitive, considerate, thoughtful and helpful to make life easier for the other person. 

Love delights…

Such love enjoys giving attention to the other, spending time together. (Eccl. 9:9) Such love enjoys expressing affection to the other, including sexual intimacy for those who are married.(1 Corinthians 7:2-5). Such love enjoys growing spiritually with the other, together opening our lives to God  and praying, together getting to know Him better and together following His ways.

(2 Peter 3:18).

“How incredible it would be if in all of our relationships–with God, with our husbands and wives, with our families and with our friends–we could experience great delight!” (Schorr Line, May 29, 2009) Centre Street Church is affiliated with the Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada  http://www.cschurch.ca/

 

Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.  (1 Cor 13:4 KJV)  Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,  5   Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

(1 Cor 13:2 KJV)  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

 

Contrary to the devil’s and lawyers lies, only the lawyer’s and the courts are those persons who tend to get richer, profit generally from a divorce. On top of that Divorce persons tend to have a shorter life span, and more health problems as well compared to the others.

 

A spouse also tends not to file for divorce unless certain conditions are met..
– The think they can get richer by a divorce.. but 2 can live cheaper than one..
– They have a substitute mate in mind, whom they should have consulted first, cause often they have no intention ever of marrying them too..
– The have the false support of their family, mother generally, brother and sister. Even often a false pastor, a false church now too.
– They have adequate cash at hand to pay for the initially lawyer’s fees. you would be surprised how many spouses still keep a hidden bank account from the other spouse, eventually the other spouse finds out and this causes really deep bitterness, anger, resentment, even unforgiveness too.
There’s no doubt there are abusive spouses, male and females.. but often one spouses provokes the other one into an abusive response knowingly  beforehand as well..
Still there are no real spousal winners in broken home, a broken marriage generally now still too.
Both men and women often still are no angels.
Can a true professing Christian now file for divorce? and why do so many Christians still do get divorced? see also http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/01/02/divorce-and-remarriage-in-the-christian-church/
For the last 5 years the above post has been one of my most popular on the net too

 

.
Can a true professing Christian now file for divorce? and why do so many Christians still do get divorced?
 There is clearly only one legitimate grounds for divorce for all believers, it is when  one an unrepentant spouse had committed adultery and refuses to repent… yes then divorce is mandatory here.. if they repent it is not! 
 
But  as far as unbelievers, we do not have to judge them they have been already judged by God and are going to Hell unless they repent (Rom 2:16 KJV)  In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
 
(1 Cor 5:12 KJV)  For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? (1 Cor 5:13 KJV)  But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
(1 Cor 6:1 KJV)  Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2  Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3  Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4  If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5  I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6  But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 7  Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8  Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 9  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11  And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 12  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Yes, murder, divorce, adultery, stealing, drunkeness too and lying are all wrong;  All are a sin. John tells us, “Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness” (I John 3:4). Sin is the breaking of God’s commands, so, yes, breaking any command of God is sinful. Sin is seprating  oneself from God, into an initial hell and eventually into an eternal hell even by one’s own free will choice as well.  Sins can be repeatedly committed to the point that a person becomes numb to the guilt of violating God’s law. (Prov 21:29 KJV)  A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way. (Prov 28:14 KJV)  Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. (Prov 29:1 KJV)  He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. (Rom 9:18 KJV)  Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
   “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron” (I Timothy 4:1-2). A word used for this state is “licentiousness,” which has been briefly defined as being deluded to think that you have a license to sin. A related word, “lasciviousness” is defined as the state where a person doesn’t care what God or man thinks of his actions. Generally these words are applied to sexual sins, but any sin can develop into licentiousness. “For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ” (Jude 4).
For true Christian believers a mutually agreed temporary marital separation is also permissible but not a divorce.. why not a divorce.. cause they will do the same wrong things definitely in their next marriage too.
(1 Cor 7:10 KJV)  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:11   But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
(1 Cor 7:12 KJV)  But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
(1 Cor 7:13 KJV)  And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14  For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
(1 Cor 7:15 KJV)  But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
The Bible says that Adultery is God’s trap, punishment for those whom he is upset at.. and the same Bible says that God does still punishes people even for their sins even if they have been forgiven as a deterrent for them not to sin anymore.
