Mark 16:9
It was Sunday morning when Jesus rose, and the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast seven demons.

Resurrected...
“He is risen: he is not here!” (Mc. 16, 6)
In the early hours of the third day everything changed…
After the long silence shadowed by death,
behold, a new hope of life will dawn…
The women who were going to anoint the body of Jesus
are surprised to find the tomb empty
and they were perplexed, not knowing what to think…
But the good news comes through the voice of the angel:
“Are you looking for Jesus of Nazareth, the Crucified?
He is risen, he is not here… go tell me…”
The holy women who remained faithful
to the top of Calvary and were going to anoint his body,
are gifted with the first announcement of the resurrection
and they became the first witnesses to announce HIM…
They hurriedly ran to bring the news to the apostles
telling what they saw and heard, full of joy…
The apostles come to confirm the news of the women
and prove that the tomb was in fact empty…
Their eyes and understanding began to open.
to understand everything He had said to them
and the nights of disappointment and fear become
in the dawn of hope for a new life…
After the discovery of the empty tomb comes the proof,
Jesus appears to them so that there is no doubt,
It is Himself, the One who was nailed to the cross,
He is there, alive and resurrected, as he had announced to them…
Life conquered death, because He is the Lord of life
and guarantees for all, by faith, the same resurrection…

Suddenly everything changes!
Suddenly, when you least expect it, everything falls into place and returns to its place… 3 days later, Jesus dies on Good Friday (sad day) BUT ON SUNDAY HE IS RESURRECTED!!
Today you may be living a sad, difficult moment, with seemingly no solution, but God's suddenness always happens on ordinary days! May this Easter mean the Rebirth of a new life for you, a new hope! Jesussss LIVEEEEE!! That's why our hope is in Him, and we can believe that although today your day is sad and difficult, on Sunday there is hope, there is victory and there is RESURRECTION of your dreams and projects!

There are days when, if Jesus doesn't hold us back, the storm of problems and difficulties carries us along. It will be in these moments that we will learn to walk holding your hands, so don't fear the wind, grab the hand of the one who gave everything out of love for you.
"I am the LORD your God; I hold you by the hand and say to you, 'Do not be afraid, for I will help you.' (Isaiah 41:13) Amen 🙏🏻
I have never met anyone who was as free as Paulo. It's impossible to reach him. If someone says, "I'm going to kill you, Paulo," he responds, "Okay! It's time to go to heaven." If someone says, "Let's let him live," he replies, "All right; living is Christ." If someone says, "Then we will beat you," he says, "Good, then I will share in the sufferings of Christ. I welcome it gladly." If someone says, "We're going to send you to prison," that's fine: "I'm going to convert your guards and most of the prisoners." Paulo is unshakable. How did he get like this? He always came back to the gospel. Here's what he says in Philippians 1:12-17: "I'm in prison, but that's okay. This has caused others to take courage to preach the gospel. I can share the gospel here where I am. All things promote the gospel.

ETERNAL LIFE
Men are ordained to die once, and after that comes judgment.
Hebrews 9:27
What to think about reincarnation?
This belief is linked to other religions.
But it is not compatible with Christianity, with the teachings left to us by Christ Jesus.
What exists after this life then?
God gives us the true answer to this question: All men have sinned and are condemned (Romans 6). But God offers us forgiveness through Jesus Christ, who came, lived and died for us on the cross, so that we could be free from our sins and through Him, with all the faith of our hearts following Him, we could achieve eternal life, in Jesus Christ.
John 14:6-7
Jesus said to him: I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you knew me, you would also know my Father; and from now on you know him and have seen him.

"Be an example.
Keep yourself pure.
If the example of the faithful, in word, in dealing, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
1 Timothy 5:33; 4:12
We must be, as this passage teaches us, examples of Christians.
Being faithful to the word of God and his laws, taking love wherever we go, being empathetic towards others, keeping in mind that we must be pure, in soul and heart, rejecting sin and the desires of the flesh.
May the people around us see Jesus through us, in the way we speak and act, in any place or situation.
Let's not get carried away by the customs of this time, even if everyone is doing it, even if it has become "normal", sin continues to be sin and continues to have consequences, including eternal death.
Respect each other, respect yourselves and your bodies.
Matthew 5:13-14
You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its flavor, how can you restore it? It will be of no use except to be thrown away and trampled on by men.
You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden.
1 Corinthians 6:15-20
"Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ" and "temple of the Holy Spirit?" — "Glorify God in your body""
Pray with me like this: Dear God, I am placing every problem, every challenge, and every difficult situation into Your hands. Please do for me what I can't do for myself. Expel fear from my spirit, remove all doubts, block all types of insecurities, give me unshakable faith and breathe new breath into my lungs. In the name of Jesus. Amen!
Living in New Life!
Christ conquered Death. He is Resurrected.
He died for your life and for my life.
He died for everyone who is contrite and humbled, confesses their sins to Him, and repents, abandons them.
He died so that we would have the right to forgiveness, to new birth.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: old things have passed away; behold, everything has become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
The new birth makes us completely new, inside us, because The Holy Spirit gives us new life, and we will no longer be the same.
We are not reformed, rehabilitated or re-educated, we are recreated living in a vital union with Christ. If someone says otherwise, don't accept it. Stick with what God's Word says (Colossians 2:6-7).
At conversion, we not only turn a new page, but we begin a new life Under the Leadership of a New Lord and Master. Let us live and do God’s Will. Amen?''
Good morning!
Grace and peace!
"The time has come for this world to be judged; now the prince of this world will be expelled."
(John 12:31)
Martin Luther was right when he wrote the words of the hymn Castelo Forte é Nosso Deus: "For our ancient enemy seeks to inflict afflictions and misfortunes on us, armed with his cruel hatred, his strength and power are great, as nothing on earth is equal."
If you are a Christian, then you must be aware that you have an enemy. He wants to deceive you. He wants to destroy you. We must never underestimate the devil. He is a cunning and skillful opponent. He has had many years of experience in dealing with humanity. That's why there are some important things we should remember about the devil - things he doesn't want us to know.
We need to understand that Satan is not even close to being equal to God. God is omnipotent, which means He is all-powerful. God is omniscient, which means He knows all things. God is omnipresent, which means He is present everywhere.
In a direct comparison, it is necessary to clarify that the devil does not have any of these divine attributes. Although he is very powerful, Satan is not omnipotent. Nor omniscient. He can't know everything you're thinking. His knowledge is limited. Finally, it is not omnipresent. While God can be everywhere at once, Satan can only be in one place at a time.
And the most important thing of all that we need to know: the devil was defeated on the cross. There, he lost his grip on the lives of human beings. As a Christian, you have been set free by the power of Jesus Christ.
Let us pray:
Thank you, dear God, for creating the universe in its great incomprehensible expanse. Thank you, Holy Father, for re-creating me in Christ so that I could share in his glory. Thank you, Almighty Lord, for creating life that lasts forever. I long for that Day when I shall see Him face to face, and praise Him with the multitudes of heaven. In the name of Jesus I praise. Amen."
QUOTE FROM THE POST: THE FALSE GOSPEL PROMOTES SENSATIONS. THE TRUE GOSPEL PROMOTES TRANSFORMATIONS. ADSON BELO.
In a world full of messages and philosophies, it is crucial to discern between the genuine and the misleading. The false gospel often seeks to feed only temporary emotions and sensations, offering a superficial experience that does not promote significant changes in people's lives. It can manifest itself in preaching that seeks only to entertain or excite, without confronting sin and challenging genuine transformation.
On the other hand, the true gospel goes beyond emotions and momentary sensations. He seeks to penetrate the core of the human being, confronting him with the truth about his spiritual condition and offering the path to redemption and inner renewal. Instead of seeking only to satisfy temporary desires, the true gospel aims to transform the human heart, taking it on a journey of spiritual growth and life change.
Therefore, it is essential that we are attentive and grounded in the truth of the Scriptures, discerning between the false and the true gospel. May we seek not just exciting experiences, but a faith that produces lasting fruit and real transformation in our lives and the lives of those around us.

THE BLESSINGS:
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me." (Mt 5:11)
Persecution against God's chosen ones has always existed and will always exist. There are those who are suffering in this life due to bad choices, however, suffering because of faith in Jesus is a high privilege.
Only those who live according to the Gospel will live eternity next to the Throne of the Eternal God
Jesus told us to rejoice in this
The power of the tongue, over life and death.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
Proverbs 18:21
Let's reflect a little on this passage.
In Matthew 26:73 it tells us that it is by the way of speaking that a righteous man is recognized.
What have we done about this?
Have we been policing ourselves to use kind words?
Or do we say everything that comes to mind, hurting others or not?
If we are children of God, we must control our tongue and know when to speak and when to be silent.
Often a bad word has the power to destroy someone else's day or even worse.
A word of love and wisdom has the power to lift someone up, so why not do it?
Let us have wisdom to use our words well.
Give us, Lord, wisdom to know when it is time to speak and when it is time to remain silent.
Don't let us fall into the temptation of saying everything we think and being rude to others.
Teach us to speak with love and respect.
May we, through our words, brighten someone's day, and may we, through your words, bring life to those who no longer have vigor.
"As the vessel that the potter made of clay was destroyed in his hand, he made another vessel of it again, as he thought good. Then the word of the LORD came to me: I cannot do with you as this potter did, O house of Israel?—says the LORD; behold, as clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel." (Jeremiah 18:4-6)
Just to refresh the brothers' minds?!
Every time I see the subject of MARRIAGE I remember our PROPHET John the Baptist, who was beheaded for telling Herod that the WOMAN he took as his WIFE was not his but his brother PHILIP's.
SEE: MATTHEW 14:3-12 and MARK 6:14-29.
Why is it that NOBODY in denominations does not preach MATTHEW 14 and MARK 6?
“Herod himself ordered the arrest of John, that he should be bound and put in prison, for the sake of Herodias, THE WIFE OF PHILIP, HIS BROTHER. HEROD HAD MARRIED HER, but John said to him: IT IS NOT LAWFUL FOR YOU TO HAVE YOUR BROTHER’S WIFE.” (Mark 6:17ff)... many are trapped here... let's get away from the theological fuss and accept the obvious: “I, YHWH (the Eternal), HATE DIVORCE.” (Malachi 2:16)... the Bible is vast in foundations in this sense... it may be HARD, BUT IT IS BIBLICAL, whoever has a second marriage, repents and leaves this adultery, God does not approve of a second marriage. (Matthew 5:31-32) go back to your first marriage or stay single (1st Corinthians 7:11) you will only be free to marry again if you are widowed (1st Corinthians 7:39) so choose well and know the person well before entering into a marriage, because it is until death do you part, I want someone to show me in the Bible second marriage being approved, no way! It's just a marriage, other than that it's adultery that will lead to condemnation because adulterers will have no part in the Kingdom of God (1st Corinthians 6:9).
What advice would you give to someone who is looking to get married?
DO NOT GET MARRIED before consulting the Scriptures: marriage is indissoluble until death (Rom 7:3), it is not for everyone (Matt 19:10,11), “God hates divorce” (Mal 2:16), vote ñ if he breaks (Eccles 5:4), if he does not forgive he will not be forgiven (Matt 6:15), etc...
GOD'S WARNING WILL SAVE TRIBULATIONS AND MANY DIFFICULTIES IN LIFE, “because not everyone is able to accept such responsibility, BUT ONLY THOSE WHO ARE VOICED” (Matt 19:10,11)... character to assume the IRREVERSIBLE (Luke 16: 18), with adjustments, renunciations, forgiveness, vocation to be a father or mother, husband or wife, for the rest of their lives, it will not be for someone moved by emotions, passions, intention to “legally prostitute themselves”, etc. ... entering the sacred without due reverence and fear is quite dangerous...
Getting married is not the only option for a full life and IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE (Matt 19:11)... many people use the Sacred Institution to prostitute themselves legally, they get married without reflecting, without resolving the controversial points, “take the rubbish out from under the carpet”, to deliver “zero km”... and the result is a society infested with the divorce that God hates (Mal 2:16), a multitude of abandoned children, split in half, without the your family (a heinous crime)... MARRIAGE HAS NO RETURN! (Mar 6:17-19)...
“MARRIAGE IS FOR THE VOCATIONAL!” (Matt 19:10,11)... and not for the irresponsible person who does not pay attention to THE GREATER LAW, considers banal what is sacred, marries “in his own way”, as in the times of the Flood when there were “few chosen” left ( Mat 24:37-39) and has to endure the holy commitment until the end whether they want it or not (Rom 7:3)... IT IS WHAT IS WRITTEN, in the Law that will judge us on the LAST DAY (John 12:47,48 )... “luckily, the one who has a talent does well, but the one who doesn't does better!” (1st Cor 7:38)...
MARRYING IS NOT FOR EVERYONE (Matt 19:10-11), there is no going back, but in extreme cases (e.g. betrayal, aggression) God allows SEPARATION: they remain alone, without marrying again (1st Cor 7:11) until such a one turns from his evil ways or dies (Rom 7:3)...
A BIBLICAL TRUTH that few Christians accept!
📖
“Nevertheless, I command those who are married, not I, but the Lord, that the wife not depart from her husband. If, however, she separates, let her remain without marrying, or let her be reconciled with her husband; and that the husband does not leave his wife (...). But if the unbeliever wants to depart, let her depart; in such (irreconcilable) cases, neither the (repudiated) brother nor the (repudiated) sister are subject to servitude; God has called you to peace.” 1st Corinthians 7:10,11,15
Paul's focus in 1 Corinthians 7 is the relationship between a man and a woman. The entire chapter is made up of a series of commandments and advice aimed at three different groups: (1) single or widowed people, (2) married people, and (3) believers who have married unbelievers. The apostle talks about celibacy, marriage and believers who had married pagans. Now let's undo the deception of Satan and false teachers regarding divorce and remarriage.
Paul prohibits divorce and does so on the basis that Jesus prohibited it (Mk 10:9; Lk 16:18; Mt 19:3-9). This is not a mere opinion of the apostle, but the direct revelation of Jesus Christ to him, since no apostle wrote under any influence other than the Holy Spirit. Paul says, "I command not I, but the Lord," in order to assure the Corinthian believers that Jesus had already taught all this in the Gospels, and that, therefore, he was saying nothing new there. When contemplating the possibility of a forced breakup, Paul expressly prohibits remarriage. It may seem like a severe doctrine for relativist and pagan “Christians” of our era, but the fact is that in Corinth there was an unusual spiritual lassitude, a characteristic that marked that church as being the most resistant to Christian discipline due to the customs of its ancient churches. beliefs in pagan gods. Nothing belonging to this life should occupy the attention of the Corinthian believers, and Paul did not give in to the sheep of that congregation. This explains why Paul's language is so severe when addressing a class of recent converts who, once upon a time, practiced orgies in devotion to all kinds of gods of ancient Greece. Therefore, it was necessary that any type of impure thought be avoided among the Corinthians, especially in the sexual area. And Paulo didn't spare the strap. No divorce! No second marriage, except in the case of widowhood!
The four immutable rules for married people in the Church of God, prescribed in 1st Corinthians 7, are:
1. Don't separate yourself from your spouse.
2. If you separate (forced separation), stay without getting married.
3. Or, that she be reconciled with her husband.
4. That the husband does not leave his wife.
If there is betrayal within the marriage, forgiveness and prayer for the spouse to be transformed into a new creature in Christ is the correct option.
The only exception for new marriages is for widowers, at the end of the letter:
“A married woman is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is free to marry whoever she wants, as long as she is in the Lord.” 1st Corinthians 7.39
Whatever the justifications of divorce and “remarriage” advocates, no passage of Scripture can teach otherwise than what is emphatically commanded in 1 Corinthians 7:39. This passage is the logical conclusion of the entire background we have seen so far. All of Christ's teaching on marital relationships, separation or union with third parties is concluded here. Remarriage is only permitted in the event of death (physical death; grave).
In 1st Corinthians 7, Paul is aware that a possible forced separation is inevitable. When he writes to the Corinthians on the subject, he is considering in his mind the possibility of unrepentant adultery and such cases as desertion and domestic violence. In order to make it clear to the reader that divorce and remarriage of divorcees are both condemned by God, he addresses the spouses who have suffered a forced separation and warns them based on the same words of the historical Jesus. These individuals abandoned in marriage must remain celibate, as God has called them to peace and they are not fated to force anyone to maintain ties with them.
Therefore, Luke 16.18, Mark 10.11-12 and Matthew 19.3-11 are the standards that the apostle Paul has in mind when he deals with the subject with the Church of Christ in the dispensation of grace. It is for this reason that he says: “... I command the married couple, not I, but the Lord”, alluding to what Jesus had already said in the Gospels, but which needed to be emphasized for a people who are difficult to understand.
FAMILY, THE PORTRAIT OF GOD ON EARTH!... marriage represents the union of Christ with His church (Ephesians 5), A PERPETUAL COVENANT, as the commitment between a man (1st Corinthians 7:39) and a woman should be (Romans 7:2,3), UNTIL DEATH, WITHOUT EXCEPTION! (1 Corinthians 7:11)... Satan opposes polygamy, adultery, divorce, pornography, fornication, incest, pedophilia, etc., 2/3 of humanity follows him (Zechariah 13:8,9) AND WILL GO WITH HIM TO ETERNAL DOOM! (Luke 16:18)...
If a man divorces his first wife, he is not free to marry another woman unless his wife has died.
The Bible says nothing can sanctify or make legal a "marriage" with a second wife, not the passage of time, not the conversion of one or both partners, not custom, not human law, not public or popular opinion , nor the decree or "blessing" of the church can make a second "marriage" licit while the first spouse is still alive."
This is what the Bible says...
""Repenting" and continuing to live the same adulterous and sinful relationship with a second or third "wife" is not repentance.
This the Bible also seems to teach.
If Jesus judges a relationship as adultery, then repentance means that the adulterous relationship must cease. Continuing, claiming love, or any other reason, does not change the fact that it is adultery.
“HE WHO DIVORCES HIS WIFE AND MARRIES ANOTHER ONE IS IN ADULTERY, and the man who marries a divorced woman is also in adultery.” Luke 16:18

“HE WHO DIVORCES HIS WIFE AND MARRIES ANOTHER ONE IS IN ADULTERY, and the man who marries a divorced woman is also in adultery.” Luke 16:18
“Nevertheless, to those who are married, I command, NOT I, BUT THE LORD, that the wife should not separate from her husband.
If, however, you separate, you must REMAIN WITHOUT MARRIAGE or reconcile with your husband; and let not a husband leave his wife.” 1st Corinthians 7:10-11
“A married woman is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but, if your husband dies, you are free to marry whoever you want, as long as it is in the Lord.” 1st Corinthians 7:39
“Therefore, as long as her husband lives, if she becomes another man’s wife, she will be called an adulteress. However, when her husband dies, she becomes disconnected from the law, so that, without becoming an adulteress, she can marry another man.” Romans 7:3
Memorize or record this:
“Therefore, if she MARRIES ANOTHER MAN WHILE HER HUSBAND IS STILL ALIVE, she will be considered an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she will be free from that law, and even if she marries another man, she will not be an adulteress.” Romans 7:3... THUS SAITH THE LORD!...
"Is single? He doesn't look for a wife.
But if he marries, he does not commit sin (...).
But those who get married will face many difficulties in life, and I would like to spare them from that.” 1st Corinthians 7:27-28
“So the one who gets married does well, but the one who doesn’t does better!” 1st Corinthians 7:38
10 REASONS TO BELIEVE THAT ALL REMARIAGE AFTER DIVORCE IS PROHIBITED AS LONG AS THE SPOUSES ARE ALIVE
According to the view of the "modern church" the reasons are persistent adultery (or simply one-time adultery) or abandonment. The common cultural concept is that divorce includes the right to remarriage, so let's look at it biblically:
1) Every marriage after divorce is adultery:
Luke 16:18: “Whoever leaves his wife and marries another commits adultery; and he who marries a woman who is divorced by her husband commits adultery also.”
If both sides commit adultery then there is no reason that the party who cheated will only be in adultery, we have "letting" not "agreeing" to disconnect and assume another and there are no exceptions as many would like there to be.
2) Whether it is the husband or the wife who requests the divorce, any new marriage becomes adultery:
Mark 10:11-12: “And he said unto them, Whosoever shall leave his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman leaves her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
The difference there from Luke 16:18 is that not only the man, but now also the woman who leaves to enter into a new marriage, will commit adultery. Once again there is not even an exception clause, as we saw before in the Gospel according to Luke, now in Mark it is well defined.
3) Jesus reaffirmed God's purpose in creation, that no human being should separate what God has joined together:
Matthew 19:3-9: “Then the Pharisees came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason? 4 But he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he that made them in the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and there shall be two in one flesh? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate. 7 They said to him: Then why did Moses command him to give her a bill of divorce, and to put her away? 8 He said to them, Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives; But at first it wasn't like that. 9 But I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, not because of fornication, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries the divorced woman also commits adultery.”
And also Mark 10:2-9: “And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, tempting him: Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife? 3 But he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4 And they said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce and to put away. 5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Because of the hardness of your hearts he hath left this commandment written unto you; 6 But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. 7 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall be joined to his wife, 8 And the two shall become one flesh; and so they will no longer be two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.
The Pharisees put Jesus to the test on this subject in an attempt to make him break Deuteronomy 24:31, Jesus' response was "Moses" who by circumstantial force delivered that commandment that was temporarily in force, but which was not the will of God, the which He now ratifies by quoting Genesis 2:24, and concludes: “So they are no longer two, but one flesh” in a way that makes this the standard again as it always was before Moses. This time we now have a supposed exception clause “not because of prostitution” as we will see below what it is about.
4) Matthew 5:32 does not teach that remarriage is lawful in some cases. On the contrary, he reaffirms that post-divorce marriage is adultery.
Matthew 5:32: “But I say to you, that whoever divorces his wife, except because of fornication, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
The honest and faithful exegesis on this verse, that the woman who will be sent to a second marriage as a result of her husband leaving her and this "marriage" will make her an adulteress, what draws attention is that if the "wife" who was innocently repudiated , having to marry another will become an adulteress, “whoever divorces his wife, except because of prostitution, causes her (the innocent wife who was not unfaithful) to commit adultery” would this be prejudice? In stating that marriage is indestructible, what about this exception? For now it is enough to say that it simply means that a man makes his wife an adulteress except in the case where she has made herself one, very obvious, but those who burn with the desire to marry again are blind to see this, They prefer to ignore what we have already seen and contradict the teaching of Christ. In other words, if it is because of prostitution that a man leaves his wife, then she has already become an adulteress, but if not, there is a risk of causing her to decide to marry again and thus become an adulteress. In any case, despite the betrayal forcing them to separate, we do not see permission for a new marriage. I bring an analysis of how distorted it is to accept that betrayal breaks the indissoluble covenant of a marriage, for those who insist on thinking like this about the text of Matthew 5:32, note that since an innocent wife who is divorced commits adultery when she gets married Again, it follows that a guilty wife who remarries after divorce becomes much more guilty. If someone argues that this guilty wife is free to remarry, while the innocent one who was put away is not, since the guilty wife's adultery broke the “one flesh” relationship, then this person must put herself in the inconvenient position of telling the innocent divorcee that “if you now commit adultery, it will be lawful for you to remarry” This seems to elevate the physical act of sexual intercourse to the decisive element in marital union and separation (even more relevant than an act of domestic violence). If sexual union with another breaks the bonds of marriage and legitimizes remarriage, then saying that an innocent divorcee cannot remarry (as Jesus actually says) assumes that her divorced husband is not divorcing to have sexual relations with another. another (which is very unlikely). Therefore, adultery does not nullify the “one flesh” relationship of marriage, and both the guilty and the innocent spouse are prohibited from remarrying in Matthew 5:32.
5) 1st Corinthians 7.10-11 teaches that divorce is wrong, but if it is inevitable, the person who divorces should not remarry.
1st Corinthians 7:10-11: “Nevertheless, I command the married couple, not I but the Lord, that the wife not depart from her husband. 11 But if she separates, let her remain without marrying, or be reconciled with her husband; and let the husband not leave his wife.”
Paul says that this order is not his, but the Lord's! These verses are very similar to Mark 10:11-12, which directly condemns the possibility of divorce to give way to another marriage. Very clearly Paul knows that separation will be inevitable in some cases (unrepentant adultery, or desertion, or brutality) and says using the Word of God that the person who feels constrained to separate should not seek a new marriage and should remain single. . As in Luke 16.18, Mark 10.11-12 and Matthew 5.32, the text does not explicitly consider the possibility of any exception to the prohibition of remarriage.
6) 1st Corinthians 7.39 and Romans 7.1-3 teach that remarriage is legal only after the death of the spouse.
1st Corinthians 7:39: “A married woman is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but, if your husband dies, you are free to marry whoever you want, as long as it is in the Lord.”
Romans 7:1-3: “Do you not know, brothers (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law rules over a man as long as he lives? 2 For the woman who is subject to her husband, as long as he lives, is bound by the law; but when her husband dies, she is free from her husband's law. 3 Therefore, if her husband lives, she will be called an adulteress if she belongs to another husband; but when her husband dies, she is free from the law, and so she will not be an adulteress if she belongs to another husband.”
7) Matthew 19.10-12 teaches that a special Christian grace is given by God to disciples who support themselves in single life, when they renounce remarriage in accordance with the law of Christ.
Matthew 19:10-12: “His disciples said to him, If this is the condition of a man with his wife, it is not advisable to marry. 11 But he said to them: Not everyone can receive this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born in this way from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been castrated by men; and there are eunuchs who castrated themselves for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever can receive this, let him receive it.”
In Matthew 19:9, Jesus prohibited all marriage after divorce. This seemed like an intolerable prohibition to Jesus' disciples: if you close off any possibility of remarriage, then you make marriage so risky that it would be better not to marry at all, since Either you are “trapped” living as a single person the rest of your life or you are “trapped” in a bad marriage. Jesus does not deny the tremendous difficulty of this commandment. On the contrary, he says in verse 11 that the ability to fulfill the commandment not to remarry is a divine gift to his disciples. Verse 12 is an argument that such a life is indeed possible, because there are people who for the love of the Kingdom, and also for lesser reasons, have dedicated themselves to living a single life. Jesus is not saying that some of his disciples have the ability to obey this marriage and not remarry and others do not. He is saying that the mark of a disciple is that they will receive a gift of contingency, while non-disciples will not. The evidence for this is that 1) the parallel between Matthew 19:11 and 13:11; 2) The parallel between Matthew 19.12 and 13.9,43 and 11.15; and 3) the parallel between Matthew 19:11 and 19:26.
8) 1st Corinthians 7:15 does not mean that, when a Christian is abandoned by an unbelieving spouse, he is free to remarry. It means that the Christian is not obliged to fight in order to preserve the union. Separation is permissible if the unbelieving partner insists on it.
1st Corinthians 7:15: “But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; because in this case the brother or sister is not subject to servitude; but God has called us to peace.”
There are many reasons why the phrase “not subject to servitude” should not be construed to mean “free to remarry.” Marriage is a creation ordinance binding all human creatures to God, regardless of their faith or lack of faith. The word used for “bondage” (douloo) in verse 15 is not the same word used in verse 39, where Paul says, “A married woman is bound (deo) by the law as long as her husband lives.” Paul consistently uses deo when speaking of the legal aspect of being bound to a spouse (Romans 7:2; 1 Corinthians 7:39), or committed to someone (1 Corinthians 7:27). But when he refers to an abandoned wife not being bound in 1 Corinthians 7:15, he chooses a different word (douloo), which we would expect him to do since he is not giving an abandoned spouse the same freedom to remarry. as he gives to the spouse whose partner has died (verse 39). The last phrase of verse 15 (“God has called us to peace”) supports verse 15 better if Paul is saying that a deserted partner is not “forced to wage war” against the unbelieving deserter in order for him or her to remain. The peace that God has called us to in this context is the peace of marital harmony. Therefore, if the unbelieving partner insists on walking away, then the believing partner is not obligated to live in perpetual conflict with the unbelieving spouse, but is free and innocent to let him/her go. This interpretation also preserves faithful harmony with the intent of verses 10-11, that inevitable separation does not result in the right to remarriage.
9) 1st Corinthians 7.27-28 does not teach the right of divorced people to remarry. It teaches that engaged virgins should seriously consider singleness, but that they do not sin if they marry.
1st Corinthians 7.27-28: “Are you attached to the woman? do not seek to separate yourself. Are you free from women? Don't look for a woman. 28 But if you marry, you do not sin; and if a virgin marries, she sins not. However, such people will have tribulation in the flesh, and I would like to spare you.”
People have argued that this passage deals with divorced people, because in verse 27 Paul asks, “Are you free from women?” Some assume he means “Are you divorced?” So what he would be saying in verse 28 is that it is not a sin when divorced people remarry. There are many reasons why this interpretation is the most unlikely. Verse 25 signals that Paul is beginning a new section and dealing with a new issue. He says “Now concerning virgins (ton parthenon) I have no commandment from the Lord; However, I give my opinion, as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.” He has already dealt with the problem of divorced people in verses 10-16. Now he takes up a new question, about those who are not yet married, and he signals this by saying “Now, as for virgins”. Therefore, it is very unlikely that the people referred to in verses 27 and 28 are the divorced ones. A simple statement that it is not a sin for divorced people to remarry (verse 28) contradicts verse 11, which says that a woman who has separated from her husband should remain single. Verse 36 is certainly describing the same situation seen in verses 27 and 28, but it clearly refers to a couple who are not yet married. “But if anyone thinks that he treats his virgin unworthily, if she is past her prime, and if necessary, let him do whatever he wants; she does not sin; get married.” This is the same as verse 28, where Paul says “But if you marry, you do not sin.” The reference in verse 27 to being attached to “the woman” may be misunderstood because it may suggest that the man is already married. But in Greek, the word for wife is simply “woman” and can refer to either a man's fiancée or his wife. The context dictates that the reference is to a man's virgin bride, not his wife. So, “Are you attached to a woman” and “Are you free from a woman?” it must refer to a person who is engaged or not. 10.1.5) It is significant that the verb Paul uses for “you are free” (luo) is not a word he uses for divorce. Paul's words for divorce are chorizo (verses 10,11,15; cf. Matthew 19:6) and aphelia (verses 11,12,13).
10) The exception clause of Matthew 19:9 need not imply that divorce in cases of adultery frees a person to remarry. The entire weight of the evidence given by the New Testament in the previous nine points is against this view, and there are several ways of making a good judgment of this verse so that it does not conflict with the general teaching of the New Testament that remarriage after divorce is prohibited.
Matthew 19:9: “But I say to you, that whoever divorces his wife, not because of fornication, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries the divorced woman also commits adultery.”
“not because of prostitution” refers not to adultery, but to premarital sexual fornication that a man or woman discovers in a fiancé. Given the absolute form of Jesus' denunciation against divorce and remarriage in Mark 10.11,12 and Luke 16.18, it is not preserved in Matthew whether in fact this exception clause is a loophole for divorce and remarriage. Matthew uses the word porneia (“not because of prostitution”) instead of the word moicheia, which means adultery, the logy of divorce was written as a paragraph of the Law, intended to be obeyed by members of the Church. It is inconceivable that, in a text of this nature, the author would not have maintained a clear distinction between what was unchastity and what was adultery: moicheia and not porneia would be used to describe the wife's adultery. Examining the use of porneia in John 8:41, in which the Jewish leaders indirectly accuse Jesus of being born of porneia, in other words, since they did not accept the virgin birth, they assume that Mary had committed fornication, and Jesus was the result of this act. , we focus on Matthew 1.18-20 (where it reports the birth of Jesus) Joseph and Mary are referred to as husband (aner) and wife (gunaika). Still, they are described as engaged only. This probably comes from the fact that the words for husband and wife were simply man and wife, and the fact that betrothal was a much more significant commitment than it is today. In verse 19, Joseph decides to “divorce” Mary. The word for “leave her” is the same word in Matthew 5:32 and 19:9. But most important of all, Matthew says that Joseph was “righteous” in making the decision to divorce Mary, presumably because of porneia, fornication. Therefore, as Matthew proceeds to construct the narrative of his Gospel, he finds himself in chapter 5 and then chapter 19 needing to prohibit all post-divorce marriage (as taught by Jesus) and yet permit “divorces” like the one Joseph considered as possibility, because he thought his fiancée was guilty of fornication (porneia). Thus, Matthew includes the exception clause in particular to exonerate Joseph, but also in general to show that the type of “divorce” that someone might seek during a betrothal because of fornication is not included in Jesus’ absolute prohibition.
QUESTION: Can a servant of God marry an ungodly man?
What does the Bible tell us about this?
ANSWER: Imagine that you, a servant of God, marry an ungodly man. You will want to teach your child to keep God's commandments, he will say he doesn't need to obey. You will want to teach your son to be faithful to God, to abhor carnality, to abhor worldliness, as the Bible teaches, but your husband will say that it is nonsense, that there is no need. You will want to teach your child to stay away from pagan parties (worldly shows, carnival, discos, nightclubs, raves, funk dances, etc.), bad company, vices (addiction to drugs, alcohol and cigarettes), worldly/profane music, immoral conversations, your husband will say that there is no problem, that it has nothing to do with it. Because of this GOD #PROHIBITS mixed marriage between people. You need to choose a spouse who is on the Path of Jesus, obeying God's commandments as He taught us... otherwise it will be impossible to have a relationship, it will be an unequal yoke and will bring serious problems to the couple.
This is why servants of God SHOULD NOT marry people from the world, so as not to go through frustrating situations later, remember well when Samson spoke to his parents that he would go in search of a wife for him, his parents said if by chance there was no there among them a good woman for him, but no, he preferred a woman from the world which led Samson to trust in himself and not in God and that cost him his life and salvation.
“Do not be unequally yoked with infidels; because, what society has justice with injustice? And what communion does light have with darkness? And what agreement is there between the Messiah and Satan? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what consensus does the Sanctuary of God have with idols? For you are the Sanctuary of the Living God, as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God and they will be my people. Therefore come out from among them, and separate yourselves, says the Lord; And touch nothing unclean, And I will receive you; And I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” 2nd Corinthians 6:14-18
Note: Unequal yoke is not just the union of a Christian and an impious person. An unequal yoke means you also join a person who claims to be a Christian but lives in the flesh or has no principles of the Word. It is unequally yoked in the same way. Walk with someone according to the model of Christ.
In the Kingdom of God, there is discipline and order. Therefore, to remain in it, it is necessary to follow the Divine Guidance. The Scriptures are clear regarding only two types of people in this world: those who belong to the Most High and those who do not belong to Him. Based on this principle, the warning for those who wish to preserve their faith and avoid suffering is not to join an alliance with unbelievers. Of course, this does not prevent Christians from maintaining good relations with them, especially because it is this coexistence that will enable people to get to know the Lord Jesus through our testimony. However, those with whom we will associate must be chosen according to the concepts that the Word of God determines, especially when it comes to a marriage union. There are many people who fell in faith because they ignored this advice and were later disappointed by their bad choice.
