THE RAPTURE IS IMMINENT! DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND FOR BEING IN AN UNLAWFUL MARRIAGE!

The Lord is now sealing all those who are to receive glorified bodies on the Last Great Day of this Church Age. His Bride will include men and women, who are in a marriage covenant, or can potentially enter into a marriage covenant at the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.

In the following passage, note how Paul speaks of fornication and the resurrection in the same breath! "...the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power." [1 Cor.6:13,14]

The body is meant for the Lord through the covenant of marriage. That's why we further read: "...we are members of His Body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." [Eph.5:30,31]

A complete son of God is made up of a man and his wife. And because they're in a marriage covenant, they're called virgins in the book of Revelation. "...These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men..." [Rev.14:4]

In other words, the men are in lawful marriages as suppose to being in unlawful ones which are defiling. The Church is the Virgin Bride of the Messiah. And it's essentially being made up of married couples who love the Messiah by devoting themselves to loving their own spouses.

This is why the Apostle Paul wrote: "I promised to present you as a pure virgin in marriage to your one husband, the Messiah; and I fear that somehow your minds may be seduced away from simple and pure devotion to the Messiah, just as Havah [Eve] was deceived by the serpent and his craftiness." [2 Cor.11:2,3]

When the Lord comes, He's going to gather up into heaven His Bride, the Church. She will be made up of men and women, who are not defiling themselves through fornication or adultery. She will include hundreds of millions of married couples, children, babies and even infants still in the womb. She will also include widows and all those who are remaining unmarried, since they've been divorced from their covenant spouses! This is the reason why the Lord teaches us that the gate leading to eternal life is narrow and difficult and only a few are going to find it. The strict doctrine of the marriage covenant is the narrow gate that will lead to eternal life on the Last Day of this Church Age.

"...we are members of His Body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh [that is, one man]." [Eph.5:30,31]

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." [Matt.7:13,14]

so in laymans terms if possible .what can we expect in the next couple of weeks

I really do like comedians and their one liners but do you really think a collection of works such as the bible was meant to be reduced to one liners?

FYI: you're not a very good comedian and your a terrible theologian!

Marriage vows do not supercede the 10 comandments.

If she became a harlot, how is that a stain on my soul?

Being perfect in love is the only way to prepare for the Day of God's Judgement!

The reason why the Lord gives us relationships is so that we can be perfected in love. And the relationship that's the most effective, above all others, in doing this is the marriage covenant. So many people, who claim they're Christians, don't have the Spirit of Christ dwelling in them. That's why they're getting divorced and remarried at the same rate as unbelievers. Remarriage is adultery and because many Christians don't believe this, they're at risk of being left behind when the Lord comes for His Bride.

The Rapture is a Day of Judgement because it will separate all those who are being perfected in love from those who are not. God's love is ONLY being received and perfected in us when it produces acts of kindness towards others. This is why a married couple, if they're being perfected in love, will never get divorced to marry other people! That this is now so common in the Church indicates that doctrines of demons are being preached from the pulpit.

"...If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit...Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgement; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love." [1 John 4:12,13,17,18]

The fear John is speaking of, in the above verse, is only going to grip the hearts of those who are not loving their spouses, their children and the brethren, in this order. For if the spouse is not loved, neither can the children and the brethren be truly loved. On the other hand, when the spouse is loved, the children and the brethren are also being loved as well. For the marriage covenant is like a fountain that pours out God's love into all the relationships we're in. All those who love in this correct order truly love the Lord, and are being perfected in love.

The bible is so full of contradictions that it makes it pretty useless. Over the years of studying people and various religious denominations. The only thing that is true is that the different denominations pick and choose what parts of the bible that they want to believe and apply to them. Then spout off like some sort of expert. The only thing they prove is that they are idiots. Quit quoting something if you are not going to quote it all. Freaks

speak for yourself. Your the one picking and choosing what you want to believe which is why you hate it when someone tells you that you can go to hell for your sins. Rather than feeling convicted and repenting for your sins, you find a different theory on God to allow you to continue the sins which God does not approve of. It is you who contradicts himself. You want to say the word of God doesn't make any sense or that its a lie because it tells you that you will go to hell for things that you think your not doing wrong. Suck it up and admit your sin. You need only to repent and attempt to never sin again. I said attempt! No one is perfect but don't try to call the word of God contradicted to excuse your sin. Don't be a coward

Yo Freak...Really?

Some quotes for ya:

Imminent = less than 3 Months!

[link to www.timeanddate.com]

But you are not a date setter?

And if three months passes and nothing happens then what?

Just say within the next three months again over and over etc.?

I'm not a Date setter, I'm a Date investigator!

I'm seeking out a Date that God has already set!

"God gets glory from concealing things; kings get glory from investigating things." [Proverbs 25:2]

And peradventure a Date we're investigating turns out to be wrong. We don't give up! We just dust ourselves off, and continue right on with our investigations! This is what we do, having been made kings by our Lord and God, Jesus Christ.

"...Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth...Who loved us...and has made us kings..." [Rev. 1:5,6]

Under the Old covenant we learn that Rebekah was appointed for Isaac. It shouldn't be any different for us under the New covenant. “O Lord God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham. Behold, here I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water. Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.” And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. Now the young woman was very beautiful to behold, a virgin; no man had known her." [Gen.24:12-16]

Notice the words success and kindness in the above passage. I genuinely believe that all men in Christ are suppose to successfully marry their own appointed wives. The good news is that if they don't succeed in marrying them here on earth. They will definitely do so in heaven. For many this will be after the Rapture. Marrying our appointed spouses is how we receive the highest expression of the Lord's kindness towards us, after the salvation of our souls. I personally have received the Lord's kindness in this regard, for I've been happily married to my lovely wife now for over 21 Years. She's my eternal companion and I'm looking forward to spending the rest of eternity with her after the Rapture. I'm sure the Lord has someone special for all His children, who aren't married yet, waiting for them at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Scoffer...don't you know YOU are in the Bible?!?

2 Peter 3:3-4New International Version (NIV)

3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”

OP, I agree that the marriage covenant is a serious commitment in the eyes of the Lord and we must search the scriptures for truth in all things, but I can't help noticing three areas where your conclusions do not appear to match with scripture. Please comment as I would like to hear your thoughts on these areas.

Re-marriage of a divorced spouse:

Deuteronomy 24:4
Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

Grounds for divorce/not bound to unbelievers:

1 Corinthians 7:15
But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

Lastly, concerning marriage after the rapture of the church:

Mark 12:25
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

You're attempting to use the above verse as an excuse not to reconcile with a spouse. You can't do that. The Marriage covenant in Christ is for life. For the Lord came to restore the marriage covenant on earth to how it was in the beginning with Adam and Eve. So Deuteronomy 24:4 doesn't apply to Christians today who are under the New Covenant of marriage. In Christ, a divorced spouse is not really remarrying their former spouse at all. They're ending their adulterous relationship to keep the covenant of marriage they made before God in the first place. Christian men who divorce to quickly marry other women have hard hearts. It's either they weren't even saved to begin with or they're baby Christians who are still very carnal.

"The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?” And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?” He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so." [Matt.19:3-8]

Men who have truly had an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ have been given new hearts that make them love their wives for the rest of their lives.

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them." [Ezek.36:26,27]



Not being under bondage doesn't mean Christians are free to divorce and remarry. Far from it

"But if the unbelieving spouse separates himself, let him be separated. In circumstances like these, the brother or sister is not enslaved — God has called you to a life of peace." [1 Cor.7:15]

The brother or sister not being enslaved simply means the brother or sister are no longer able to function in the capacity as a husband or wife any longer, because their respective spouses have chosen to leave. We get married to be enslaved, in a good sense, to our spouses!

"And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness...present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness...But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God" [Rom.6:18,19,22]

Being enslaved to our spouses means being a slave of righteousness for holiness. It means being a slave of God. You really have to twist the Scriptures to conclude that if a spouse leaves, divorce and remarriage is what "not being under bondage" means! This is confirmed to not be the case. For in the very next verse Paul places the responsibility of saving the spouse who has left in the hands of the husband or wife, who are to remain unmarried.

"For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?" [1 Cor.7:16]

A husband or a wife cannot pray with a pure heart before God, for the salvation of a spouse who has left, if they're continuously committing adultery, in an unlawful marriage, with someone else!



Child-bearing marriages do not exist in heaven. Glorified-body regenerating marriages, however, do. Because we die on earth, marriages exist for the continues regeneration of the human race. In heaven, where we don't die, marriages serve a different purpose. They're for the regeneration of our own heavenly bodies! The Lord simply told the Sadducees that child-bearing marriages don't exist in heaven, nothing more. The Lord was under no obligation to tell them of the type of marriages that do exist in heaven. They wouldn't have believed Him anyway.

"...if a man’s brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother...the first took a wife, and died without children...And the second took her as wife, and he died childless...Then the third took her, and in like manner the seven also; and they left no children, and died...Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife does she become? For all seven had her as wife.” Jesus answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. [Luke 20:28-31,33-36]

I've always known that loving marriages will continue after the rapture before I read Oden Hetrick testimony on heavenly marriages. He just confirmed to me what I've always known Check it out: [link to odenhetrick.com]

I hope I've helped, in a small way, in answering your questions. God bless you.

THIS IS TRUTH, and most people know it. They just Refuse to be accountable for their actions. People today want sex without the responsibility of marriage, children without the responsibility of parenthood, social order without the responsibility of citizenship, liberty without the responsibility of morality and self-esteem without the responsibility of work and earned achievement

BUT... If we acknowledge our sin before GOD and ask him sincerely to forgive us and help us with that sin. The Bible says that he is Faithful and Just to Forgive.
Cause lets face it, sometimes we get ourselves into sin like addiction, ( I know I have been there ) you probably wont quit high and dry right at the moment you asked to be forgiven, ( But some really DO get free instantly, I didnt)
So I had to rely on GOD to help me quit sinning by abusing my body with drugs. And in Time I was SET FREE from addiction from drugs.
Just be yourself with GOD cause he already knows you

Absolutely! The Lord knows us exceedingly more than we know ourselves.

17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden. 19One of you will say to me, “Then why does God still find fault? For who can resist His will?”…

20On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this,” will it? 21Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? 22What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? 23And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, 24even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles.

hmmm so let me guess Jesus died for all the sins in all the world except for the sin you pick as unforgivable ? Ha get theee behind me Satan the only unforgivable sin is rejecting Christ my friend that's the good news that Jesus spoke of. No works lest any man should boast we all sin everyday don't get caught up in pointing fingers at people that sin different from you. Silly rabbit tricks are for kids read your bible till you und stand it

Matthew 5:32
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 19:9
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.

"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." [Matt.19:9][KJV]

You can only commit fornication when you're betrothed, when your married it's adultery.

Fornication and adultery are not the same thing.

Under Jewish customs, when the Lord walked the earth, a betrothed couple were called husband and wife, even though they hadn't had sex yet.

If during this period, which lasted for about a Year, the wife had sex with another man it was called fornication, and not adultery.

The husband could "divorce" his wife for committing fornication!

This is what Joseph wanted to do when he thought Mary had committed fornication!

Fornication will dissolve a betrothal. Adultery, however, will not dissolve a marriage, it will only defile it. For if the guilty spouse repents, the marriage becomes holy before the Lord again. Only the death of a spouse can dissolve the marriage covenant.

quit changing the bible OP this is talking about an unbeliever. Get married as many times as you will. Do you think divorce is the unpardonable sin.

Being divorced is not a sin. It's marrying again while you still have a living spouse that's a sin. A decree nisi issued by a judge doesn't dissolve a marriage before God. Men and women within the Christian World are choosing to ignore the Words of the Lord Jesus Christ. They're going to pay a very heavy price, in the coming days, for doing so. “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.” [Mark 10:11,12]

Psalm 18:36
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
