📹 Jada & Will Smith: ‘Bad Marriage for Life.’ Godly Standards for Marriage & Relationships
RedTableTalk #JadaPinkettSmith #AugustAlsina #WillSmith #Marriage #Relationships #Entaglement.
It’s a minor thing but why does the presenter keep saying “C-U-C-K” the word is cuckold/cuckolded and legitimately describes a male who wife has cheated/had an affair and humiliates him. Educate your listeners and also the media platform if they take this word as a violation of their idiotic rules. If you can’t say rape, sexual assault IN THE CORRECT CONTEXT then someone needs to review the education system!
Jada is a weird psycho with no empathy. Will is like a child with an ego, allowing peer pressure to force him into marriages, and marrying the absolute worst person possible. I used to hate on Jaden alot, but I feel really bad for him and Willow these days. At least Will’s Ex and first child Trey got to live normal lives.
I find it interesting that in the Bible 1 Peter 2: 20 NKJV ” For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again Entangled in them and overcone the latter end is worse for them than the beginning”. Jada used the word “entanglement”.
It’s true, how many people can you give your all (whole)to? It breaks us and destroys our esteem and our value to some extent. Also there’s a quote I came across from EGW we should be careful in these relationships we enter in.. To trifle with hearts is a crime of no small magnitude in the sight of a holy God. And yet some will show preference for young ladies and call out their affections, and then go their way and forget all about the words they have spoken and their effect. A new face attracts them, and they repeat the same words, devote to another the same attentions. LYL 74-LYL 74.1
I get you guys wanted to capitalize off this event and make a article but Pray for this couple friends! Jada contradicted herself… she said that she isn’t marriage material but she is a ride or die chick which is essentially till death do us part. I feel like it was just the fear of labels that leads to a level of accountability. I feel like when we meet people like this its important to help them unpack certain things. Ask why? There is baggage of fear and trauma there. You don’t have to pursue them but don’t leave them in their confusion unless they want to stay there after understanding. She clearly has a misunderstanding of marriage. And this misunderstanding propels people to say and do these things. People in Hollywood are not goals to strive for because they do not know God so their standards will be skewed, that makes sense. How can you ask someone to do better when they are in darkness and have no light? Looking at others will get us in trouble, I like the point made about self reflection through Christ.
I believe that they were trying to make a word play on Will’s move bad boys and his friend in movie there slogan. Either which way that union, I wouldn’t call it a marriage from a biblical sense is not an example for anyone. We must stop looking at actors playing roles as an example of how we as Christians should have our marriages. Some may be real, but those that are, are those that keep them private. Let all young people desirous of Godly marriages seek God first for themselves, read letters to young love messages to young people and Adventist home and most importantly pray. When God leads, not saying married life is easy or perfect, it can last as each imperfect person walks into perfection with the Lord. And this union can be a witness and a wonderful example to all those around.
That’s not how I heard the Will & Jada meeting story. I actually heard Will tell it & he described it differently. He said he was on a date with his then wife & Jada was someone they became acquainted with at a dinner table. Will became so enthralled by Jada that he asked to be excused & go to the bathroom & began to break down & cry because as he put it he realized he was with the wrong woman & Jada was the one he was meant to be with. So the next day he broke up with his wife, called Jada up & said “Jada, ars you seeing anyone?” & when she said no he said “You are now”. I appreciate how this transitioned into a marriage ordained by God & what we can look forward to & the blessing we can receive.
Unfortunately, Will and Jada and her ‘lover’s are ENTERTAINERS…distracting people that admire them, as well as their children, from God. I pray that they will realize the error of their ways and repent.🙏🏾 Thanking God for you 3 on the panel who put God first in your lives and share the truth of God’s Word. Happy Sabbath, God’s continued blessings to you and yours..💕💕
I can see that both Will and Jada are acting, the hurt is still on will’s face, I think those interview that they did was damage control but behind close doors the they are still at it, they are unhappy people pretending to be happy but the truth is true happiness comes from God. One thing i cannot understand though is why people who dont believe in God or accept His ways, get marriaged, dont they know that if marriage is not done in accordance to God’s word, it not marriage. Lets pray for them because we all need Jesus
We live in a time when the true meaning of marriage is disregarded. Two persons become acquainted; they are infatuated with each other, and the whole attention is absorbed. Reason is blinded, and judgment is overthrown. They will not submit to any advice or control, but insist on having their own way, regardless of consequence. Marriage is something that will influence and affect our life, both in this world and in the world to come. The marriage institution was designed of Heaven to be a blessing to man; but, in a general sense, it has been abused in such a manner as to make it a dreadful curse. Let us remember that true love is a high and holy principle, altogether different in character from that love which is awakened by impulse and which suddenly dies when severely tested. Marriage, instead of being the end of love, will be only its beginning.
I met my Husband on Christian Mingle, We were Married for 9/12 Years. What I learned and I share with All Adventist. Just because your Spouse is Adventist, doesn’t mean your Equally Yoked. Make sure your Together, when it comes to the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, and Present Truth. And I will leave you with that.
The clips of Will Smith and Jada make me feel very strange inside. Very strange. I can feel the influence of the devil working in this and I pray to God to keep our minds from becoming saturated with their sentiments. “Bad marriage for life”…mercy….oh we must hasten the coming of our Lord by getting the three angels messages to the people for the wrath of the Lord is being stirred by these ungodly deeds of men and women.
I dont agree with how Jada and Will are going about themselves in their Marriage. I can openly admit that I’ve done the same things as Jada and at one point of time I had her way of thinking. My husband was not okay with that I lost myself and my dignity. And I asked God for, forgiveness to help me get my life right and help me stop the toxicity. With God all things are definitely possible. Having a “BAD MARRIAGE” IS NOT a good thing. Will and Jada are painting a horrible picture for our Generation. I once Had to realize what I was doing was completely out of my character and wrong. God has blessed our family with so many things. My husband and I are the first to get Married in our families and we got married @22. Were 25 now. We’ve grown together and met in high school. I feel like we broke the cycle in our family. No Marriage is perfect but we do have a beautiful respectful marriage and with God. No one in this world is “relationship goals”
Good talk…I wish that you all also shared light on Jada and August Alsina being broken and being vulnerable when they initially met. In that state, satan was able to use them both for destruction bc both were very vulnerable. It’s dangerous and often times can lead to a suicide. A person can never help heal another person especially if they are broken themselves. It is not wised for a woman and man to be that familiar with one another by confiding in another in which led them to be in an adulterous relationship.
To have a good marriage for life both persons first need to be married to Christ,in that relationship they’ll experience the joy of being committed to one person in their Spirit they’ll then be elated to share that happy n joyful experience with another special person in the flesh. Christ will then keep them together forever .
Is it possible to present God’s Biblical Principles for Relationships and Marriage, without using there fiasco? Unnecessary, right?? There are plenty of Biblical examples of God’s Way and the errors of mere mortal men in The Word… I’m certain that you brought out alot of Truth, but I saw no need to listen to them…
I am very tearful and emotional listening to this presentation. My guts hurt very painfully. Only GOD can heal my broken heart right now. Having that kind of knowledge would have had help so much in the past 25 years of my life. Being a former youth director for about 10 years woul have help my kids and even me. I thank God for my family specially my husband. Having absolutely no true value regarding marriage I can testify that God is really good. This presentation had opened my eyes even more on the true issues found in family dynamic especially the youth and young adults. Like me I saw that something is just not right but could not really understand. Please keep me in prayers because often I considered myself as “not marriage material” without really understand the depth of that statement. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, GOD had bless me with a beautiful family please keep me in prayers that together we can resolve, get healing in the LORD. May God bless you all. Pray for the Adventist youth leaders around the world.
In such a time as this with the BLM movement going on this comes up. It’s a distraction. They are promoting licenciousness. They are using this to encourage “freedom” to do as you please in relationships especially amongst the black community seeing how great they are idolized as the #relationshipgoals.
When she said that she did not feel that it was a trangression? I was dumbfounded!! I think many feel that if they are separated then that means that they are free to pursue other relationships! At the end of the day marriage is a sacred entity ordained by GOD and many are so indifferent when it comes to this union! Once again man wants to define and set their own standards of marriage! This is where the destruction lies! Have mercy on us Lord!
