“What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
King James Version (KJV)

Hey Paul Keen,
In order to know if God is speaking to you, you must first know God. Being saved is the first step, but you still need to know of God. Know His character, His Truths, His attributes; then you will know if you are hearing from God of the Scripture. John 10: 24-27
True believers can know the Truth, because you've studied the Truth in scripture.
To know counterfeit money, you must study the real money. Then you will be able to know the fake, because you know the true money.
Know Jesus, know the Truth. No Jesus, No truth.

Hey Robert,
Great questions and they are not irrelevant. Asking is good, it is the motive that may not be good. Many questions asked by the scribes and Pharisees were to try and trap Jesus and not to learn the truth.
Those who died before Jesus' death on the cross, were saved because of their faith in the coming messiah. Romans 4: 3-5, Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 11: 1-3. We look back to the cross, those before us looked forward to the cross.
Those who believe in the Messiah, the Christ will be at the Bema Seat of Christ, 1 Corinthians 3:11-16, Acts 4:10-12
God has always had a way for people of all ages to be saved. Ps 19; Luke 16:27-31

If you chase this all the way to the end one will end up with the scripture.,. "Where sin abounds, grace abounds more." The fact is that YOU, by The Sacrifice of Christ, and ALL that it means In being born again, are free. Free as if you completed everything, in life and all that it entails, by The Holy Walk of Jesus. As if you did it yourself! Otherwise nobody could be saved! Believe In His Sacrifice as enough to cover your sin- past, iniquity past, present and ALL that you will ever do. Nothing can pluck you from His Hand because it is established in Love. Not your definition of Love but His! Understand this and the power of sin falls away because the law is completely fulfilled for you! The curse of sin is broken in this way. Any other belief is a mix between the law (works) and the perfect law of liberty provided by Christ. Be free first! Doesn't mean you have to leave to be free! You can be free if you don't receive condemnation from man in any way (this is what is hard)(believe what God says not man). If God says that you are forgiven, you are forgiven period. He will never force you to Love Him. You are free. Treat your spouse the same And it's the best juxtaposition before God. From this place just believe in His Sacrifice, be willing to change and He will work everything to your good because you care enough to die to your opinion and experience and live in the freedom of What Jesus Christ has provided. Set those who you Love Free! The sin that transpired and transpires from your situation will be exposed and all parties will Actually have a choice. Otherwise it is control. Let us break our control mechanisms that so easily align with our chosen scripture and let The Holy Spirit lead in freedom.
I don't know about you but I never wanted to force my wife, family or anyone else to Love and stay with me. Praise God, who is Love, for He keeps no record of wrong. Lord help us to do the same In Jesus' Name. Love Joe, (Formally in the past, chief among sinners.)
The Third Eye's comment on 2020-07-07 10:45:47:
Here's that 3rd Eye scripture. Just because you put a red dot on your face doesn't mean it's from God.
Ask someone who was rescued out of the occult! What goes around comes back around: that's karma. Occult!
Read your Bible as is. That's your revelation. Every time you read the book of Revelation, you get a blessing from God.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12
There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices DIVINATION tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you.
People be aware. There will be many false Christ's, false prophets, people who say they have a new revelation. God hates that stuff.
If you would ask the Holy Spirit to TEACH you the Bible.....you'd wake up raring to hit the Bible hard every day! Can't no one Teach like the Holy Spirit can.
If you want to learn the deep things of God, then be willing to log in many many hours studying with the Holy Spirit! He WANTS to teach you. THEN, He wants you to teach it to others. No interpretation is just for private.
Ask the Holy Spirit about that 3rd eye thing and then sit before him, stilled, until He replies.
If Satan can't get us on heroin, he'll find all kinds of newfangled theories to waste time pondering on. Look up that scripture in the search box: "Your adversary the Devil..."

Chris's comment on 2020-07-05 21:36:14:
Steve, you are right that all sin can be forgiven except for blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, for which the Jewish leaders were particularly guilty of. We can ask the Lord for forgiveness of sins & then find peace in our hearts from that wrong & restored fellowship with the Lord.
However, with the sin of adultery, or other sins such as murder, rape, etc., one then has to live with that decision for the rest of his life. And with adultery, no forgiveness can ever take away from the reality of the daily hurt & shame that is brought about by this act. If as a believer, one wilfully sins (a premeditated act) expecting that God's forgiveness as the cure all, then how are we different to anyone else who might believe that sinning is of no consequence as God always forgives, or even as some RCs who go weekly into the confessional to receive absolution?
When a believer falls into sin, it amounts to a 'slip up' because of our weakness in the flesh, where maybe a lie is spoken to get out of trouble, or a nasty word or burst of anger in response to a situation, or even that sexual thought of someone else. We realize our sin & seek forgiveness. How does that then work out when there is a planned execution of sin, knowing that that is not what God allows? Does God still forgive this? And if He does, will He still continue to forgive many times over? Or for that matter, can we really regard our righteous standing before God through His salvation as real? These would be some of the questions that I would be compelled to consider if planning to commit sin. I'm not in any way suggesting this of you, but a personal view of wilful sin & doing despite to His work of Salvation & giving of His Spirit.
Steve Lynch's comment on 2020-07-05 14:46:50:
It is ok for a person to remary because adultry is not a unforgivable sin. you both repent of any sin and jesus will forgive you. otherwise it would be like saying that christ can't forgive sin. and there's only one unforgivable sin an that is to blasheme against the holy spirit.
Margie's comment on 2020-07-05 13:17:57:
The Bible says of one comments adultery, ot ok with God to divorce. Does that mean it's ok for the non-adulterer to remarry?
Mishael's comment on 2020-04-22 10:46:04:
If you live in the USA, you can google your State's laws on it. Some states recognize it;
Others do not. It can't be treated as divorce until someone moves out of the house.
Since God created the first marriage with Adam and Eve, we have to observe His requirements to put away a "spouse".
1 Corinthians 7-9; Genesis 38:8;
Deu. 24:2-5, Hebrews 13:4; Jeremiah 3:14
My comment here, is if God can say 'I'm married to you'..then marriage (a covenant) between two parties is serious and binding. If you bend the rules because society says you can doesn't mean it's the best choice.
I say that because of how it hurts children to live the impermanence of life without one parent. I overheard one day a group of children call themselves, "divorced" kids. Five of them said, I'm divorced, and 1 kid said my parents are married. The 5 told him he was lucky.
Talk it over with your Pastor or the Pastors wife.
bibi russell's comment on 2020-04-22 06:48:15:
someone living common-in-law and 2 children from the relationship and has not actually made marriage vows is it still considered what God has joined together.? Now is the woman free to leave her partner and go with another man? Is the new man breaking up what God put together?
michell's comment on 2015-09-26 06:37:36:
I believe it has a double meaning and warning. The verse is telling us not to divorce and is also telling us the definition of marriage between a man and a woman and let no man destroy the institution that God has created.
Ralf Emuzel's comment on 2015-02-04 09:45:45:
To me it is a sound warning to the married couple themselves, that, they have no right what soever to separate themselves from the joining God has joined them this day.
shweta sawat's comment on 2014-04-20 11:04:27:
Hello, I would like to have complete details of Mark 10 9 to know more about..
Dette's comment on 2013-12-16 01:40:07:
Humans should not separate whatever God has joined together because God would never do what He did if it was not good for us. God Himself joined man and wife together for them to help each other in life and in reaching heaven one day. A direct assault to this teaching of Christ would be divorce because it literally means cutting in half the lifetime of marriage man and wife promised each other. This bond which God had tied is never to be untied.
connie govender's comment on 2013-11-19 08:49:35:
to me it means no one on earth has the authority to divorce two people joined together by GOD, for as the scripture states the one who marries her will be committing adultery, if caught in the act of adultery, the word of GOD say `what sin is there that is unforgivable, only the blaspheming of the holy spirit, so if CHRIST forgave us our sins who are we then not to forgive those who trespass against us!
