Discuss Matthew 19 Page 12

    With regard to verse 9 - If you put away (divorce) your wife for reasons other than fornication (sex outside of marriage) and you marry someone else, you have committed adultery.

    If you marry someone who is divorced, you are then committing adultery.

    If two people are living together, they are living in sin (fornication) and have no legitmate union in the eyes of God.

    Jesus is talking to the espoused or rather the engaged when he speaks of "fonication". Just like how Mary was considered Joseph's wife even though they were not yet married. So the engaged man can put away his wife if it is found that she is not pure ( not a virgin). Thus, it is safe to say that she has committed fornication. Fornication is a forbidden sexual act between the unmarried. To the married he simply says remain married because you have passed the stage (espoused/engaged stage) to put away your spouse.

    Gods Word is clear once we have joined together we are One But if we marry we are in a holy covenent with each other Let me ask if a woman marries a man and suffers many beatings and then he divorces her would she be free to marry/ Would God Bless the marriage? Comments Please
  • Tim Hunt on Matthew 19:17 - 16 years ago
    God our father in heaven is head of his future family,Jesus still a man had not yet completed his sinless life, thus qualifying to rule over his future kingdom on EARTH. So at that point he was not yet good, only our father in heaven. Sin is the transgression of the law, Jesus life as a man was not yet over, so at that point it remained to be seen if he would complete a sinless life. Jesus then told them that if they were to enter into life they also must keep the commandments.
