00:00I'm not sure if this one is pleasant.
00:06Okay.
00:07Okay.
00:08What does the Bible say about divorce and remarriage?
00:13Are adultery and death of the spouse, okay, the only ground for remarrying someone else?
00:26Can you marry someone who, someone, someone who has been divorced?
00:36Yeah.
00:37Okay.
00:38Let me pray.
00:41Father in heaven, there's usually a simple answer to what sounds like a complex question.
00:47Tell me what to tell your people.
00:49In Jesus' name I pray.
00:51Amen.
00:54The Bible has one clear reason for divorce.
00:57One clear reason.
00:59Adultery.
01:01The church may give you several more.
01:03Are you with me?
01:05The Bible has one clear reason for the divorce that's adultery.
01:11You cannot divorce a woman because she can't cook or because, you know, whatever.
01:17Adultery.
01:18That's why when you consider marriage, think twice.
01:20Once you're in it, you're stuck.
01:22Are you with me?
01:23But stuck's not a good word.
01:24You're in for life.
01:26So think twice.
01:27You can't jump in and jump out.
01:29Because she broke a fingernail.
01:30You can't do that.
01:31Now, adultery is the reason for divorce.
01:33Now, the Bible makes it very clear, the innocent party can remarry.
01:40The guilty party must remain single for life.
01:44Of course, it doesn't happen because we do what we want.
01:46The innocent party can remarry.
01:50But God prefers reconciliation.
01:53Malachi 2 verse 6, the Lord of Israel saith that he hateth putting away.
01:58Calvary shows that God prefers reconciliation to divorce.
02:02Are you with me?
02:03But adultery is the clear biblical reason for divorce.
02:10The innocent party can remarry.
02:14The guilty party must remain single.
02:18So yes, you can marry a divorced person if you determine that the person has been divorced and the person is innocent.
02:25Because if someone decides to divorce you, there's very little you can do.
02:28Are you following me?
02:29It doesn't mean that you're a monster because you got divorced.
02:32It may not have been your fault at all.
02:35So an innocent person can remarry or can be married by someone.
02:38But the clear biblical reason for divorce is adultery.
02:43But the church allows others, presumably based on the Bible.
02:49Alright.
02:50But remember, when the flood came, they were marrying and giving in marriage.
02:54Are you following me?
02:55Don't make the desire for marriage a God.
02:58There's some women, let me pick on the women, that's all they think about.
03:02And they run into trouble.
03:03They marry the first man with a pulse.
03:04Are you following me?
03:05And they run into trouble.
03:08Go on.
