Jesus teaches that when a man gets married, he must leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, resulting in them becoming one flesh. Divorced marriages are guilty of sex sins in marriage. Jesus emphasized that not all men are able to do this, but only those to whom it has been. Paul’s epistles also refer to marriage and how believers operate within the relationship. When asked about divorce, Jesus revealed the heart of God, stating that marriage without divorce is the plan of God. He believed that marriage should be permanent unless there is adultery involved, and then the offended party has the freedom to divorce. Jesus also referred to Old Testament Scripture regarding the created order of Adam and Eve, stating that God made male and female. The first marriage was a place of innocence, openness, and joy, but after the fall, it is difficult to attain. Jesus healed many people in Judea, and in answer to a question about marriage, he said that at the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
Jesus’ teaching that people will not marry at the resurrection is a response to Jewish religious leaders who believe that marriage causes a man and woman to become “one flesh.” This oneness is manifested in the physical union of sexual intimacy. The New Testament warns against divorce, as it is against God’s design. Jesus teaches that marriage is a lifetime commitment, and not all men are able to accept this. Jesus connects marriage to sexual appetite and that not everyone is mature enough to live a married life. He states that marriage requires a certain aptitude and grace, and that divorce is unlawful except in cases of sexual immorality. Jesus emphasizes that marriage is not for everyone and that divorce is unlawful except in cases of sexual immorality.

What does Matthew 5 verse 32 mean?
Matthew 5:32 says that if a man divorces his wife for any reason other than sexual immorality, she commits adultery. What does that mean? When a man divorces an innocent woman, he violates her. That’s the sin’s theological nature. The woman is not sinful, but the husband’s sin hurts her. The text makes the woman the passive recipient of three noxious actions. First, she is the “divorced,” not the divorcer. Second, the husband makes her do it. Third, she is made to commit adultery by her husband’s choice, not her own. She doesn’t act in Matthew 5:32. She didn’t sin. She has been sinned against by others. William Hendrickson comments on the word “adultery” in the phrase at hand. The Greek word means what the woman goes through, not what she does. She suffers wrong. He does wrong. New Testament Commentary: Matthew (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 1973), 306. 2. Hendrickson gets to the heart of the issue. But Calvin gets it.

What does Matthew 19:9 say?
The Pharisees and Jesus discussed the true way to look at divorce. The present tense is used to discuss general truths. This is called the gnomic present. The limits of time are not defined. Several occurrences of the gnomic present are in Matthew. For example, “Every good tree bears good fruit.” This idiomatic use of the present tense is as old as Aeschylus. 587 and Plato, Phaedrus. 58A. This gnomic present occurs in Matthew 19:9 when Jesus says that anyone who divorces their spouse except for unchastity and marries another commits adultery. In such a gnomic present, continuity is not considered. Arndt and Gingrich say that the w. subjunc. after relatives forms the protasis of a conditional sentence. This is the general type with the present in the apodosis. It shows that the condition and its results involve repeated action. They give examples from John 5:19; Mark 9:18; Acts 2:39, and James 4:4. This does not mean that the protasis always results in the apodosis. In other moods than the indicative, the present specifically denotes continuity. For example, in Matthew 7:12, all things you wish men to do to you, you must continue to do. In Luke 9:4, enter any house and remain there. In these cases, it is the mood, not the particle an in a relative clause, that shows continuity. If you use “an” in a relative clause with a present tense in the end, it means something could happen. However, context is needed to know if continuity is meant. The present indicative in 1 John 3:22 doesn’t focus on continuity. Whatever we ask, we receive from him. In this and other NT uses, repetition includes both the beginning and the end. Continuity in the end is not always clear. We receive as often as we ask, not whatever we ask. Similarly, in 1 Corinthians 11:26, as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you announce the death of the Lord. In Mark 9:18, as often as the spirit seizes him, it throws him to the ground. In Matthew 23:16,18, as often as one swears by the gold of the temple or by the gift on the altar, he is obliged to fulfill his oath. The use of “with” with a relative clause followed by the present indicative “moichatai” in Matthew 19:9 means that adultery is committed each time the situation mentioned in the protasis occurs. This idiomatic construction doesn’t require continuity in the apodosis. It just says that each time the protasis happens, the apodosis happens too. The present indicative in Matthew 19:9 and other Greek texts can mean continuous action. This argument ignores the different uses of the present indicative that don’t mention continuity. The present indicative in Greek must be understood in context to determine if it means continuous action. The context of Matthew 9:3-12 is a discussion of a general truth. Jesus’ statement of that truth uses the gnomic present, which does not consider continuity. Continuity may or may not be involved. It is not right to say that it must be involved just because the Greek present indicative is used.
What does Matthew 20/16 mean?
In Matthew 20:16, it says that the last will be first and the first will be last. This verse says God doesn’t judge people by their outward appearance. He looks at their hearts and their faithfulness to him.

Thank you Pastor Wes, I agree with the scriptures and yourself about the main issue being that of divorce and that really the issue of adultery is an issue that is a bi product of how we understand the love and seal of marriage that God has commanded and expressed to us throughout His Word. Divorce is it seems a topic many people disagree about kind of like abortion in a sense . However, I believe these perceived “options” (not spiritually supported) set us up for failure . Thank you again! God bless us all. Haha never easy but God but we have faith.
Matthew 19 9 is not an exception for divorce after marriage. Remarriage is adultery every time you sleep with someone who is not you first spoue. If churces taught correctly and disciplined their memers divorce would drop dramatically. Please do not support adulterous relationships it ruins covenant marriage. How can a second marriage be aporived of by god if a marriage is for life? What breaks that? The second set of vows? Getting saved which is a process not a one time event. I havent been to a church that doesnt make excuses for divorce and staying in a adulterous Remarriage. You can find some that recorded the truth on put it on you tube. And some pastors write articles and books. But churces worry mor about their tithe than leading people to salvation. Its horrible
God never anointed that singles groups meeting.. that was never a work of God It was a work of the devil, and the fruit that it bore is evidence of that. It was a carnal humanistic way to try and fill avoid that only Jesus Christ Himself can fill. When anyone feels that ministry is going to fill that void that’s already idolatry. I believe that this is all an excuse to avoid admitting that you were just lusting after someone else who is not your spouse and looking for excuses to get into another relationship. As a faithful wife of 20 years under severe domestic violence and now almost 8 years of divorce holding onto my marriage covenant as a single woman raising four children by myself, I do not appreciate how lightly these “ministers” took their sin and how lightly they just kind of excused their evil behavior.
It is very sad that one has to go through such trauma in their life. I take it, a couple people who have replied have experienced that and I really hate that for you. The context is speaking of divorce and I agree with you, so…… since I don’t recall them saying it…….God’s word also gives the innocent party an out if they choose or do not have a choice. Adultery is the only biblical out if the innocent party wants to remarry. If the guilty party remarries, they are living in adultery. God meant for it to be one man and one woman for life. People who try and twist God’s word to fit their life are the ones I consider prideful. To me, it’s almost as if they believe they know God’s motives better than He. His word is plain on this subject, it is not confusing, it is written on an level that any man should be able to understand if he has the mental faculties. Because one uses God’s word to show a certain sin is wrong, doesn’t mean they are prideful. If they mean it, they care about your soul and love you, they will be honest with you. A real man or woman however difficult It will be, will tell you when you are wrong. But it needs to be done in a proper and loving way. John 6 tells us about the people being offended by Jesus at what he was saying (was He being prideful?). He was speaking in love. Although He was honest with them in His teaching, later in the chapter you will see that many walked with Him no more. Jesus loved them so much, He was honest and when many left, he ask the 12, “do you want to leave also?
I’m really disgusted by this whole dialogue. Seriously, You picked two adulters who are making excuses for their adultery, to speak against divorce and they have absolutely no idea what it means to be an innocent spouse who was forced into a divorce outside of their will. I would say this is a failed attempt to explain divorce. These two people are 100% guilty both wicked and evil in their adultery and in this very segment they made light of it. I was forced out of my 20-year marriage because of severe domestic violence and abused towards myself and my children. I was forced out of my marriage and forced to get full-time custody of all my children and a lifetime restraining order for our protection. 8 years later he is remarried and I’m still single living out my covenant by myself and taking care of my children day and night working three or four jobs just to make ends meet by myself in my faith in Jesus Christ. You guys really make poor choices on what kind of people to bring into your podcasts to talk about these issues.
Levi wrote Matthew. Didn’t I already try to explain that to you? Why would you teach Matthew if you know about me? You are completely wrong about going verse-by-verse. You should read as much as possible, and then come back and go verse by verse. They need to hear the actual Bible. But you use KJV. No more Jesus. The name is Ìzeus.
