Summary

1. 0:00 Intro and explanation 2. 1:56 In Jeremiah, God divorced Israel but didn’t marry someone else - he offered them restoration! Doesn’t this undermine your case for remarriage? 3. 6:08 If a person who illegitimately divorced their spouse is unmarried and repentant and if their former spouse has remarried, may that person marry someone else? 4. 9:04 If the punishment for adultery was death under the law then how can adultery be a cause for divorce? 5. 19:49 Is addiction to porn considered sexual immorality and therefore, grounds for divorce? 6. 22:54 Does the requirement for leaders to be the “husband of one wife” mean that a divorced man can’t be a pastor? 7. 44:20 What do you do when a spouse wants to separate but not divorce, leaving you in limbo? 8. 50:33 What about domestic abuse such as verbal/spiritual abuses? 9. 55:42 If a person becomes a Christian after an invalid divorce, and reconciliation is not an option (former spouse is remarried), is that person free to remarry? 10. 57:42 Mike, you’re saying marriage isn’t really for life. Two don’t become one-flesh? 11. 1:00:06 If adultery justifies divorce and the man who divorces his wife commits adultery then why is the innocent woman in Luke 16 vs. 18 not allowed to get remarried? 12. 1:06:28 What’s with the jar of gummy bears in the background? 13. 1:07:14 What about the mass divorce that God commanded in Ezra and Nehemiah? ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬................................ Conclusion of Pt. 1 ................................ The questions below will be answered in future videos on this channel. Subscribe and click the "bell" icon to get notifications when those short videos come out! ~ 14. When are two people considered “married” in God’s eyes? Is living and sleeping together enough? 15. What if a polygamist gives his life to Christ? Do they stay married to all their wives? 16. Can you please elaborate on what is meant by "still being morally obligated" after a divorce? 17. Can you explain what Jesus meant by “because of the hardness of your hearts” and comment on Roman Catholic annulment? 18. Some teach that the key to understanding the Bible is knowing the difference between “putting away” and “writ of divorce”. What’s up with that? 19. Is not one of the highest laws to forgive? Doesn’t Jesus say to forgive 70 times 7? If Jesus forgives Israel (see Romans 11), shouldn’t we, in our marriages, be forgiving all the time and never divorce? 20. What about a spouse who keeps draining the bank account and refuses to stop? 21. You have said adultery, abandonment, and abuse (lots of ways out of a marriage) are exceptions to divorce and remarry---why would the disciples be shocked in Matthew 19 if that's what Jesus truly meant? 22. If you can justify divorce with adultery then why not just go commit adultery to get out of a marriage as some people have? 23. Is it possible that Jesus was just talking about king Herod and we’ve misunderstood? 24. Since priests are forbidden from marrying a divorced woman does this mean it was allowed for everyone else under the O.T. Law? 25. Could Deut. 24 really be showing us that second marriages are invalid and adulterous, which is why she can’t go back to her first husband? 26. Given Deut. 24, should we also say today that remarrying an ex-spouse who you filed a certificate of divorce for is also not allowed? 27. Can I tell you whether to divorce or not? 28. Why I’m concerned about saying “abuse” justifies divorce. 29. Should ANY second marriage be broken up? 30. Have I changed my mind on my teaching? Here's the playlist on divorce and remarriage which has my LONG video on the topic https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHtBvJzugPJp9P5X1T-hA91j On a biblical view of "interracial marriage" https://youtu.be/HEJKLvacY2I My web site https://BibleThinker.org

0:00.0	Waiting for confirmation. There it is. Okay, so I did my long, long study over 200 hours of research on the topic of divorce and remarriage.
0:11.0	Then I did my long three hour teaching on the topic of divorce and remarriage then I did my long three hour teaching on the
0:13.6	topic and that video has already been produced here it is right here and you can
0:19.2	find a link to it in the description below if you're interested now what I did in
0:22.1	that video is I said
0:22.8	hey guys here's like every issue I can think of all the issues and stuff but I want to
0:26.8	answer your questions I'll take your questions and your pushback and I'll make a
0:30.7	follow-up video this is that follow-up video. I combed through over a thousand comments on the original video.
0:37.0	There's, I don't know how many comments are on there now. There's like over a thousand, well over a thousand, and you guys ask ask questions some I had dealt with but
0:44.3	maybe not in enough detail others I hadn't even thought about to put into this
0:47.6	long teaching video for whatever reason so we're doing it today this is that video going through your questions and your pushback on my teaching on divorce and remarriage.
0:58.0	Again, this is me. This is my best understanding of the topic. I'm not the Bible and I'm not the Pope and I'm not telling you, you know, like I'm some infallible source for you.
1:06.0	Rather, I think I've built a biblical case for my position and that I want to answer you pushing back and asking questions of that case.
1:14.8	So here we are today. You can actually find if you're watching this after the fact,
1:17.9	if you're not watching live, by the way, welcome to the live viewers.
1:20.8	But if you don't watch live, you can actually watch after the fact and check out in the video
1:25.5	description all the time stamps to all of the questions like 29 different
1:29.8	issues I'm going to deal with in today's stream. This means, of course, that I am not answering
1:34.5	random questions from the live chat. I'm doing the video live and I'm not taking your
1:38.3	questions from the live chat and I know my mods will have to probably say that over and over
1:41.7	again today because some people are used to that.
1:44.0	But that's not the agenda today. I wanted really to take careful, thoughtful time to approach these questions and answer them.
