LESSON 1: What Jesus really taught.

​

Look at these 2 scriptures:

​

"And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her."   Mark 10:11.​

​

"Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." 

Luke 16:18.

​

The word "fornication" has been changed in the new modern versions of the bible! To falsely include post marital adultery as a reason to divorce and remarry!

​

Jesus is quite clear here in his teaching. He is giving new law. He gives you no reason whatsoever where remarriage will be permitted in his new covenant teachings. If two believers marry it is for life, and if you marry someone else it is adultery. Why is it adultery? The only possible reason is that God does not recognize all the paperwork, or the ceremony or the process used to end the marriage. He still sees them as  married!

​

Now let us look at Matthew:

And a special clause called "The Matthean Clause"

​

"But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery."  Matthew 5:32 .

​

"And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."  Matthew 19:9 .

​

The writers of the King James Bible rightly saw, that the word "porneia" in Greek is being used in a context here, and that the word can only logically mean "fornication" a sin before marriage, not after marriage. Jesus is therefore not teaching that adultery can be used as an excuse to divorce and remarry.

​

What is the context? Jesus says clearly that a person remarrying for no good reason is continually committing adultery. It says this in Roman 7:3 also, quote "So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man." If adultery ended marriages, this would not be the case. Therefore adultery is excluded from the meaning of "porneia". The meaning is therefore "fornication" a premarital sin, just as the King James Bible scholars wrote. Jesus is actually dealing with the special topic of marriages that were based on fraud and lies from the start.

 

This is why the "Matthean Clause" does not contradict the teachings of Jesus in Mark and Luke where there is no reason to separate and remarry in a legitimate marriage, whereas if adultery and a lot of other postmarital sins end marriages, modern false pastors are accusing Jesus of teaching confusion and lies in Mark and Luke.

​

Give an example:   An example of a permitted divorce and remarriage for "fornication" is as follows. A woman called Jezebel has been sleeping around with lots of men, and has even had a baby that was adopted. She is jealous of a real virgin called Purity who want to marry a certain man called John, so Jezebel tricks John into marrying her by saying she is a virgin too. They go through the marriage ceremony, but on the marriage bed, before they consummate the marriage (have sex for the first time) her new husband John can tell from her hymen that Jezebel is not really a virgin, in fact he sees she has had a baby from her anatomy. Jezebel then confesses it is true and that she committed fornication many times, and is not a virgin, and even had a baby, but she says to him "But I knew you love me and it would not matter to you John." This woman called Jezebel has married him by telling him a pack of lies. He has not had sex with her yet, so he can definitely divorce her and remarry. That is an example of fornication. It does not mean adultery which is sex that happens after the marriage.

​

Therefore: Jesus taught us to stay virgins before marriage. By saying the only reason to divorce, is sex before marriage, he not only has strict teachings about how marriage is for life, he is obviously telling you to stay a virgin before you marry!
