AFTER HAVING 11 SURGERIES, SIX 12:17 OF THEM LASER, I CAN BARELY SEE MY IPHONE LET ALONE PREACH A 12:24 SERMON FROM IT. GOOD TO BE BACK AT 3ABN. 12:27 IT REALLY IS >>> 12:34 >>> MY BROTHER-IN-LAW AND SISTER-IN-LAW, MY SISTER-IN-LAW 12:38 IS MY [INDISCERNIBLE] 12:40 THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. NO TIME TO EXPLAIN THAT NOW. 12:44 >>> BUT, WE HAVE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. 12:48 WE WANT TO EXAMINE THIS 7th DEMANDMENT, DON'T COMMIT 12:53 ADULTERY, WOULD YOU PRAY WITH ME, PLEASE. 12:55 FATHER GOD, AS WE OPEN UP YOUR WORD, SPEAK TO OUR HEARTS THERE 13:01 IS MUCH TO LEARN AND TO UNDERSTAND. 13:04 BLESS US. MAKE UP FOR THE DEFICIENCIES OF 13:07 THE HUMAN INSTRUMENT WITH DEVINE GRACE, SO THAT YOUR PEOPLE MAY 13:11 KNOW AND DO. WE THANK YOU IN JESUS' NAME, 13:14 AMEN. >>> IT HAS BEEN SAID WITH SOME 13:23 AMOUNT OF JUSTIFICATION THAT THERE ARE TWO INSTITUTIONS THAT 13:26 COME TO US FROMY DEN, AND THE HAND OF GOD. 13:34 I MUST HASTEN TO NOTE, THEY HAVE ANSWERED THEIR SINS, AND THEY 13:38 ARE BEFORE SIN. EVEN IN THIS WORLD, CURSED BY 13:43 SIN, THEY BOTH GIVE US EVIDENCE OF THE LOVE AND CHARACTER OF 13:51 GOD. THAT IS MENTIONED SO MANY TIMES 13:53 >>> THEY COME FROM THE MIND OF GOD, FROM THE HEART OF GOD, THEY 13:57 ARE PART OF, A PRODUCT OF HAVE THE BENEVOLENCE OF GOD, AND HIS 14:04 LOVE FOR HIS CREATURES. >>> THESE TWO ENTITIES, AND I 14:10 CALL THEM ENTITIES, SOME PEOPLE CALL THEM INSTITUTIONS, BUT 14:16 INSTITUTIONS, ARE PLACES WHERE YOU SEND PEOPLE FOR PUNISHMENT. 14:21 THESE TWO ENTITIES STAND AS EMBLEMS FOR GOD'S EVERLASTING 14:29 GUARD FOR THE HUMAN FAMILY. HE CREATED THIS FAMILY, AND THEN 14:33 HE DID SOMETHING VERY NICE FOR YOU AND ME. 14:37 >>> IT MUST BE NOTED THAT MARRIAGE AND THE SABBATH CAME 14:46 FROM EDEN PRIOR TO SIN. THEY WERE HERE BEFORE SIN. 14:53 AMEN. >>> WHEN GOD PRONOUNCED HIS 14:56 CREATION AS GOOD, HE INCLUDED MARRIAGE, AND THE SABBATH. 15:07 THEY BOTH WERE AND ARE GOOD. [CROWD: AMEN] 15:14 >> SO, THESE TWO ENTITIES, MARRIAGE AND THE SABBATH, THEY 15:22 WEREN'T PRESCRIPTIONS, THEY WEREN'T PRECISIONS, THEY WEREN'T 15:31 REMEDIAL AND THEY WEREN'T PROF LAT PARTICULAR. 15:36 MY PROF LAT PARTICULAR, DESIGNED TO WARD OFF DISEASE. 15:40 IN THIS CASE, THE DISEASE IS SIN. 15:45 SO, MARRIAGE, AND THE SABBATH WERE DESIGNED TO WARD OFF 15:56 DISEASE. >>> GOD HAD TO REVEAL HIMSELF 16:17 THROUGH THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. REVEAL HIS CHARACTER THROUGH THE 16:22 10 COMMANDMENTS, TO TRY TO FIX STUFF. 16:25 IT WAS A GOOD THING. THE ONLY THING BETTER THAN THE 16:29 10 COMMANDMENTS WAS JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. 16:32 THE BEST INDICATION OF WHAT GOD IS LIKE. 16:36 >>> SO THERE WAS, I REPEAT, NO SIN IN THE WORLD, WHEN MARRIAGE 16:44 CAME, AND THE SABBATH CAME. THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT HAD YET TO 16:50 BE EATEN. MANKIND WAS RUNNING TOWARD GOD, 16:53 NOT AWAY FROM HIM. NO HIDING BEHIND ROCKS. 16:57 THERE WAS NO FEAR OF GOD, OR THAT HE WOULD DISCOVER THEIR 17:03 SIN-INDUCED NAKEDNESS. >>> SO, WHEN MARRIAGE AND THE 17:06 SABBATH WERE GIVEN TO MANKIND, THEY WERE THE PERFECT GIFTS IN A 17:12 PERFECT WORLD, THEY WERE DESIGNED TO MAKE THAT WHICH GOD 17:18 HAD DECLARED GOOD. I WILL USE A WORD DANA USED, 17:23 EVEN GOODER. >>> THEY WEREN'T IF I CAN GO 17:27 SOMETHING BAD, THEY WERE MAKING SOMETHING PERFECT JUST A LITTLE 17:31 BIT BETTER >>> GOD INSTITUTED THE SABBATH 17:34 BECAUSE HE WANTED TO DATE YOU. AMEN. 17:42 >>> AND INSTITUTED MARRIAGE BECAUSE HE WANTED US TO DATE 17:45 EACH OTHER. >>> YOU KNOW, WHILE I AM ON A 17:53 LEDGE, I MIGHT AS WELL JUST JUMP OFF. 17:57 >>> CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF UNLOGICAL TRAIN WRECK IS 18:06 CREATED, MARRIAGE BEING WHAT IT IS AND BEING SO GOOD. 18:09 CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE YOU COULD STIR UP, AND 18:13 WHAT KIND OF MESS -- CAN I SAY MESS 18:17 [CROWD: UM-HMM] >> NOT REALLY A SCRIPTURAL WORD. 18:22 BUT WHAT KIND OF MESS YOU CREATE, WHEN YOU FORBID YOUR 18:28 CLERGY GEE TO MARRY? >>> WHEN YOU FORBID YOUR -- IN 18:39 FACT, TURN WITH ME QUICKLY TO FIRST TIMOTHY 4-3. 18:52 >>> THE VERY FIRST LESSON. IT SAYS THAT A LOT OF TIMES 18:58 SOMEONE WILL DEPART FROM THE FAITH, GIVING INTO SPIRITS, 19:05 DOCTRINES AND DEMONESSES. WHAT HAPPENS -- SPEAKING LIES OF 19:09 HIP SEE, HAVING THEIR OWN CONSCIOUS SEARED WITH A HOT 19:13 IRON, FORBIDDING TO MARRY. >>> WHEN YOU FORBID YOUR COLLEGE 19:19 TO MARRY, YOU ATTRACT TO YOURSELF, CERTAIN PEOPLE THE 19:25 CLASSIC DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE HOLDS NO IMPORTANCE. 19:34 UM-HMM. >>> THEY WILL TAKE OUT THEIR 19:48 FRUSTRATIONS ON THE WEAKEST AND MOREVILLEBLE PEOPLE BEFORE THEM. 19:53 ARE YOU WITH ME ON THIS? YOU CAN'T DO THAT 19:56 >>> DON'T BRING TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TO KNOW THAT SATAN HAS 32:32 GOTTEN INTO SO MANY MARRIAGES, MARRIAGE WAS DESIGNED TO BE A CASE OF HEAVEN, HALLELUJAH, 32:39 AMEN, SO WHY THEN IN SO MANY INSTANCES IS IT A HEAPING HELPING OF UNHOLY HELL? 32:53 HERE THERE FACTS. FOR MANY YEARS -- SAID THAT MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE -- THAT THE 33:00 DIVORCE RATE WAS CLIMBING UP OVER 50, 60 PERCENT BUT THE LATEST STUDIES SAY THAT THE 33:05 NUMBER IS ACTUALLY GOING DOWN. DON'T SAY AMEN TOO QUICKLY. THE NUMBER OF DIVORCES IS GOING 33:20 DOWN, BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE AIN'T BOTH EVERYTHING TO GET MARRIED! THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COHABITING 33:33 WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF MARRIAGE IS ON THE RISE. AND THOSE WHO ARE MARRYING, 33:42 PRAISE GOD, ARE STICKING IT OUT, BUT THE PERCENTAGES ARE GOING DOWN. 33:47 MEANWHILE, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COHABITING IS GOING UP. QUINCY FELDMAN JOINED THE BRO 33:55 GROUP TO CALL, WRITE A BACH CALLED THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT MARRIAGE. 34:00 SHE SAYS SINCERE CHRISTIANS WHO PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH -- I SAID PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH 34:11 HAVE A 40 PERCENT INCREASED CHANCE OF THEIR MARRIAGE WORKING OUT. 34:21 NOMINAL CHRISTIANS, THAT'S THOSE WHO TALK ONE THING AND DO ANOTHER, HAVE A 20 PERCENT 34:27 HIGHER CHANCE OF GETTING DIVORCED. , YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST THINKING 34:36 ABOUT A PERSON, TALKING ABOUT THIS COHABITING THING, WE KNOW A FRIEND WHO IS JUST AS -- IS JUST 34:41 AS GORGEOUS AND WONDERFUL AND LOVING A CHRISTIAN. SHE BRINGS PEOPLE TO CHURCH, I 34:51 MEAN, A DOZEN COUPLES, MAYBE. SHE BRINGS TO CHURCH. BUT SHE IS IN A RELATIONSHIP AND 35:03 IS NOT MARRIED SO SHE IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH HERSELF. CHILDREN ARE IN THEIR TEENS, SO 35:10 THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER A LONG TIME. THEY HAVE TWO BUSINESSES 35:16 TOGETHER, BUT HE WON'T DO IT. AND SHE WANTS TO JOIN THE CHURCH. 35:22 SHE IS AT HEART A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST, BUT SHE CAN'T SIGN ON THE LINE BECAUSE HE WON'T MARRY. 35:31 AND SHE IS SO ENTANGLED, THEY ARE SO ENTANGLED BUSINESS WISE YOU CAN'T JUST WALK AWAY. 35:49 LET MY SAY THIS WHO ARE IN THE CATEGORY OF DIVORCEE. GOD HATES DIVORCE, BUT GOD LOVES 35:59 THE SINNER MORE THAN HE HATES DIVORCE. AMEN. 36:03 IS THAT UNDERSTOOD? AND DIVORCE, IN MY MIND, IS NOT THE UNPARDONABLE SIN. 36:14 SO IN THE USE, CANADA AND THE UNITED KINGDOM HERE ARE THE TOP FIVE REASONS FOR DIVORCE. 36:22 ONE, OR RATHER NUMBER 5, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE. MORE PHYSICAL THAN MENTAL, 36:31 THAT'S HITTING, PUSHING, SHOVING, PHYSICAL ABUSE. FOURTH, LACK OF COMMUNICATION. 36:41 THREE, SPENDING OF MONEY. [LAUGHTER.] >> 2, CHANGE IN PHYSICAL 36:54 APPEARANCE. NOW LET ME SAY THIS ALSO. NUMBER 4, NUMBER 3 AND NUMBER 2, 37:01 DEFENDING ON WHAT STUDY YOU GO TO ARE INTERCHANGEABLE, FOR SOME PEOPLE, NUMBER 2 IS HOW YOU 37:06 SPEND YOUR MONEY. FOR SOME, LACK OF COMMUNICATION IS NUMBER 2. 37:12 FOR OTHERS, CHANGE IN PHYSICAL APPEARANCE IS UP AROUND NUMBER 5. 37:17 BUT EVERY SINGLE STUDY THAT I WENT TO HAD THE SAME NUMBER ONE EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS. 37:30 EVERY STUDY, THAT'S THE TOP ONE. SO AS IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT THIS IF FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THE 37:37 FACT IT IS NUMBER ONE. YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, AND BOY I HOPE I GOT TIME TO GO 37:45 THROUGH ALL OF THIS. AND THEN IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WHERE CHRIST SAYS, IF A MAN 37:51 LOOKS ON A WOMAN TO LUST AFTER HER, HE HAS COMMITTED ADULTERY IN HIS HEART ALREADY. 37:58 LET'S FOLLOW THROUGH. TWO WORDS FOR LOOKING. ORADO AND BLETO AND COME BACK TO 38:05 THOSE IN JUST A LITTLE BIT. SO WHY IS IT SO BAD TO JUST DAYDREAM ABOUT SOMEBODY WHO IS 38:12 NOT YOUR WIFE? BECAUSE ALL SIN BEGINS IN THE MIND. 38:21 AMEN? >> AMEN. >> BEFORE YOU DO IT, YOU 38:25 CONTEMPLATE IT. YOU THINK ABOUT IT. THE BATTLEGROUND FOR YOUR SOUL 38:31 IS THE MIND. YOU ARE WHATEVER ENTERS YOUR MOUTH AND YOU ARE WHATEVER 38:43 ENTERS YOUR MIND. SIN STARTS IN THE MIND. NOW, LET'S EXAMINE THIS TEXT 38:52 JUST A LITTLE CLOSER. A READING FROM THE MISSION. NOW THE MISSIONER IS PART OF THE 38:59 TALMUD, THE TALMUD IS IS THE ORAL TRADITIONS OF THE HEBREW SCHOLARS WRITTEN DOWN. 39:06 SO THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO WROTE INTO THE TALMUD. THERE ARE TWO, THERE IS THE 39:12 JERUSALEM TALMUD AND THE BABYLONIAN TALMUD, WHEN THEY SAY TALMUD THEY ARE USUALLY TALKING 39:17 ABOUT THE JERUSALEM TALMUD BUT IT IS THE ORAL TRADITIONS BECAUSE BACK IN JERUSALEM IT WAS 39:22 ORAL NOT WRITTEN BUT PHONILY WRITTEN DOWN AND THE TALMUD CONTAINS THE GO MORA AND KIND OF 39:29 GETS COMPLICATED. BUT HERE IS WHAT I DISCOVERED. THE -- OF A CRIME. 39:35 THIS IS THE TALMUD, WERE A MARRIED WOMANED ANY MAN WHO WAS NOT HER HUSBAND. 39:43 SO WHEN THE REF INNOCENT SCHOLARS TRIED TO DECIPHER THAT COMMANDMENT THEY CHOSE TO 39:50 EXPLAIN IT AS A MARRIED WOMANED ANY MAN NOT HER HUSBAND. OKAY? 40:01 INTERCOURSE BETWEEN A MARRIED MAN AND AN UNMARRIED WOMAN WAS FORNICATION. 40:11 SO THE RABANNE CAL SCHOLARS DIDN'T PUT ANY ONUS ON THE GUY. IT WAS ALL ON THE WOMAN. 40:21 THE SYSTEM PUT A LOT OF WEIGHT ON THE WOMAN. NOW, YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING 40:25 THAT WILL BLOW YOUR NUMBER GO GO TO NUMBERS. WE CAN'T READ IT ALL. 40:32 IN NUMBER CHAPTER 5, 11 THROUGH 29 AND MAYBE JUST TURN TO IT AND KIND OF REFER TO IT, BECAUSE IT 40:37 IS VERY INTERESTING. WE FIND OUR, AND ARE INTRODUCED TO SOMETHING CALLED THE WATERS 40:44 OF JEALOUSY. HAVE YOU HEARD THAT BEFORE? >> WATERS OF JEALOUSY. 40:49 HERE IS A SUMMARY. IF A MAN, A HUSBAND HAS IT IN HIS MIND FOR WHATEVER REASON 40:56 THAT HIS WIFE IS UNFAITHFUL HE CAN DRAG HER TO THE PRIEST AND PUT HER THROUGH THIS CEREMONY 41:10 READ THIS WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE. IN SHORT THE CEREMONY IS THIS. SHE STANDS IN FRONT OF THE LORD, 41:14 HE PAYS A FEE CALLED THE SACRIFICE OF JEALOUSY AND SHE SWEARS OR GIVES AN OATH THAT SHE 41:26 HAD NOT SLEPT WITH ANOTHER MAN. THE PRIEST TAKES SOME SOIL FROM THE FLOOR OF THE TABERNACLE AND 41:35 PUTS IT IN WATER AND SHE IS OBLIGED TO DRINK IT. IF HER STOMACH SWELLS, SHE IS 41:47 GUILTY. READ IT. IF IT DOESN'T, SHE IS NOT. 41:57 NOW, HE COULD WAKE UP ONE MORNING AND COME UP WITH THE IDEA, I THINK MY WIFE IS DOING 42:01 SOMETHING WRONG. TAKE HER DOWN, PAY SOME MONEY AND GO THROUGH THIS WHOLE 42:06 CEREMONY. NOW, WHAT MAKES THIS INTERESTING IS NOWHERE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT 42:12 IS THERE AN ANALOGOUS CEREMONY FOR THE GUY! IF THE WIFE THINKS THAT HER 42:21 HUSBAND HAS BEEN CATTING AROUND, SHE DOESN'T HAVE THIS PRIVILEGE. SHE HAD THE WEIGHT SEE HOW THE 42:29 WEIGHT CENTERS ON THE WOMAN? SO THERE IS SO MUCH MORE STIGMA PLACED ON THE WOMAN TO BEHAVE 42:37 THAN THERE IS THE DWI. IT WOULD APPEAR IN THEORY THAT WOMEN WERE KIND OF GETTING THE 42:42 SHORTENED OF THE STICK BUT YOU KNOW GOD IS A FAIR GOD. THE MOSAIC LAW STATES THAT THE 42:56 PENALTY FOR ADULTERY IS DEATH FOR BOTH PARTIES. AMEN. 43:07 .. HE AND SHE, AMEN. SO WHEN THEY BROUGHT THAT TERROR STRICKEN LADY AT THE FEET OF 43:18 JESUS AND SAID, LORD, WE CAUGHT HER IN THE VERY ACT -- WELL, THE VERY ACT WITH WHO? 43:26 THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER PERSON DOWN THERE AT THE FEET OF JESUS. 43:32 THEY GOT TO THE MOSAIC LAW AND DIDN'T GET TO THE PART WHERE IT SAYS HE AND SHE, ONCE AN 43:37 ALLEGATION THE IS BROUGHT, THE ALLEGTEE IS ON THE HOOK ALONG WITH THE ALLEGATOR. 43:51 [LAUGHTER.] >> HE AND SHE, BOTH GUILTY, BOTH SHOULD BE STONED. 44:04 BECAUSE GOD IS A FAIR GOD. HE WON'T LET THE WOMEN TAKE ALL THE WEIGHT. 44:11 AMEN. YOU DON'T COMMIT ADULTERY WITH YOURSELF. 44:17 BUT AS WE KNOW THAT CASE WASN'T ABOUT ADULTERY, HAD NOTHING TO DO -- THAT WAS TRYING TO TRAP 44:24 JESUS. MAYBE THEY ARE STILL TICKED OFF BECAUSE EARLIER IN CHRIST'S 44:27 MINISTRY CHRIST ENUNCIATED AND ARTICULATED WHAT WERE CALLED THE ETHICS OF THE KINGDOM, THE SIXTH 44:36 ANTITHETICAL AND ANTITHETICAL THEANT THESIS THEY CALL IT, CHRIST SAID SIX TIMES, YOU HAVE 44:43 HEARD IT SAID, THEN HE GIVES THE ANTITHETICAL BUT I SAY, AND ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT COMES 44:49 OUT OF HIS MOUTH IS, YOU HAVE HEARD IT SAID, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, BUT I SAY IF A MAN 44:55 LOOKS ON A WOMAN TO LUST AFTER HER, HE HAS COMMITTED ADULTERY IN HIS HEART. 45:02 NOW, THERE ARE TWO GREEK WORDS THAT ARE USED. ONE IS HORADO WHICH MEANS A 45:08 GLANS. YOU RECOGNIZE SOMEBODY IS THERE. THE OTHER IS BLEPO. 45:14 BLEPO EXPRESSES MORE INTENT AND ERNEST CONTEMPLATION SO IF YOU ARE STUDYING HER SOMETHING IS 45:25 GOING ON IN YOUR MIND. AMEN. NOW, WE GET THAT USAGE IN ACTS 45:31 CHAPTER 1. LET'S TURN TO THAT REAL QUICK. ACTS CHAPTER 1 VERSE, BEGINNING 45:36 OF VERSE 9. ACTS 1, VERSE 9. ACTS 1, VERSE 9. 45:41 YOU REMEMBER THAT THE DISCIPLES WERE STANDING LOCKING AT JESUS, WE SEE THE WORD BLEPO USED THREE 45:50 TIMES IN NINE, 10, AND 11. THE BOIBL SAYS AS HE ASCENDED THEY WATCHED. 45:56 SO THEY ARE LOOKING HARD NOW. THAT IS BLEPPO. VERSE 10, THEY LOOKED STEADFAST 46:08 STEADFASTLY. THAT'S BLEP POE. IN VERSE 11, THE ANGEL SAID, WHY 46:14 ARE YOU GAZING? THAT IS BLEPO, SO WHEN YOU WATCHED HER -- UH-HUH -- WHEN 46:25 YOU LOOKED STEADFASTLY, WHEN YOU START GAZING TO GET THAT LAST VIEW, YOU ARE ON DANGEROUS 46:36 GROUND. AMEN. >> TO-WIT, THERE SHE IS. 47:01 BLEPPO. [LAUGHTER.] >> YOU GET WHERE I AM GOING. 47:09 IT BEGINS IN THE MIND. THE MOMENT YOUR KELT STARTS TO BOIL, KETTLE STARTS TO BOIL YOU 47:19 HAVE COMMITTED ADULTERY IN YOUR HEART. NOW LET'S HURRY ALONG. 47:23 WHY DID CHRIST WEIGH IN ON THIS SUBJECT? ONE IT WAS A 2ND AND 2 THERE ARE 47:29 TWO RABBI SCHOOLS OF INTERPRETATION, ONE IN DEUTERONOMY 24:1, BASICALLICALLY 47:36 COULD WRITE A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE FOR JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. SHE MADE YOU BAD, SEEK A 47:41 DIVORCE. DIDN'T COOK THE FOOD RIGHT. CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE. 47:44 THERE WAS THE HILAL SCHOOL, RABBI HILAL HE TAUGHT YOU COULD GET A DIVORCE FOR ANY REASON I 47:53 AM JUST TIRED OF HER, WRITE A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND HIT THE ROAD. 48:03 AND THERE WAS ANOTHER SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY, THAT SCHOOL TAUGHT ONLY ADULTERY. 48:06 CHRIST ALIGNED HIMSELF WITH THE SHEMAI SCHOOL. BUT THERE WERE THOSE WHO WERE 48:12 TEACHING -- YOU SEE, THE PROBLEM WAS, THE PROBLEM IS, THE PROBLEM WAS, THE PROBLEM IS, THE PROBLEM 48:17 WAS IS, IT IS TOO EASY TO GET A DIVORCE. MY FIRST CHURCH, YOUNG PASTOR, 48:25 26, 27, A WOMAN OF MY CHURCH CAME TO ME AND SAID, PASTOR, WHAT IS THIS? 48:31 I LOOKED AT IT, I SAID, YOU ARE DIVORCED. >> SEE, IN NEW YORK STATE, YOU 48:38 GET A DIVORCE WITHOUT THE OTHER PERSON'S PERMISSION OR KNOWLEDGE I SAID, YOU ARE DIVORCED. 48:51 AND ACCORDING TO THIS YOU HAVE BEEN DIVORCED THREE MONTHS. HE SAID ARE YOU KIDDING ME. 49:01 >> NO. THIS IS A TERRITORY CAT OF DIVORCE. 49:04 HE SAID I AM STILL COOKING HIS FOOD AND WASHING HIS CLOTHES AND LIVING AND HUSBAND AND WIFE AND 49:10 ALL THAT MEANS -- WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? >> SHE SAID WELL FROM THIS DAY 49:14 FORWARD THE CAFETERIA IS CLOSED. [ APPLAUSE ] >> AND ALL A THAT THAT MEANS. 49:26 IT IS NOW TOO EASY TO DISSOLVE MARRIAGES. >> AND IN CHRIST'S TIME, CHRIST 49:43 UNDERSTOOD THAT. YOU KNOW, IF YOU TALK -- IF A MARRIED WOMAN TALKED TO A MAN FOR OVER FIVE 49:50 MINUTES, ON A STREET CORNER SHE COULD BE ACCUSED OF ADULTERY IN CHRIST'S DAY? 50:03 SO CHRIST -- GOES AGAINST THIS PUTTING AWAY AND -- YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THIS, THAT THE METAPHOR FOR 50:12 CHRIST IN HIS CHURCH IS MARRIAGE. CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH, EPHESIANS 50:20 5:25. HUSBANDS LOVE YOUR WIFE AS CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH AND GAVE 50:24 HIMSELF FOR HER. MARRIAGE IS A MUTUAL GIVING OF YOURSELF. 50:32 AND IF YOU ARE TRYING TO FULFILL THE OTHER PERSON'S WISHES AND DESIRES, YOU WILL FORGIVE MY 50:41 PEJORATIVE INTEREST, YOU AIN'T GOT TIME. YOU KNOW, HERE IS THE TRUTH, 50:47 GENTLEMEN, ONE GOD WOMAN -- ONE GOOD WOMAN IS MUST HAVE FOR ANY MAN. 50:55 AMEN. >> YOU KNOW, ALL OF THIS 700 WIVES AND 300 CONCUBINES. 50:58 COME ON. YOU THINK YOU ARE SUPERMAN? [LAUGHTER.] 51:06 >> FIND A GOOD ONE AND STICK WITH IT. SUCH AS THE EXALTED NATURE OF 51:15 MARRIAGE, SUCH IS THE PERMANENCE OF MARRIAGE. SUCH IS THE SACRIFICIAL SPIRIT 51:20 OF MARRIAGE. CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED TO LAY THEIR BODIES IN SACRIFICE FOR 51:31 EACH OTHER IN MARRIAGE. THE BIBLE SAYS LET NOT SIN REIGN IN YOUR MORTAL BODY THAT IS YOU 51:39 OBEY THE LUST OF AND NEITHER YIELD YOUR MEMBERS AS INSTRUMENT OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. 51:49 WE NEED TO CLING TO EACH OTHER, PARTICULARLY IN THESE LAST DAYS. YOU KNOW, JOHN -- WRITES A STORY 52:00 OF INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED WITH ELLEN WHITE, AND IT IS AMAZING HOW THE CLOCK BECOMES YOUR 52:09 ABSOLUTE ENEMY. A GROUP OF ABOUT EIGHT PEOPLE, ELLEN WHITE HAS A VISION. 52:17 SHE SEES A MAN WHO IS IN THE MIDST OF HAVING AN AFFAIR. SHE DID NOT KNOW THE MAN. 52:29 SO SHE COMES OUT OF THE VISION AND SHE SAYS, I JUST SAW SOMEBODY. 52:35 I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE. THEY ARE IN MICHIGAN AND THEY ARE IN THE MIDST OF BEING 52:45 UNFAITHFUL. THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SABBATH AND THE LOVE OF GOD AND 52:50 YET THEY ARE BREAKING ONE OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS. SHE SAID, I ASSUMED THAT I WILL 52:57 SEE HIM AGAIN BECAUSE THE LORD HAS BROUGHT THIS TO ME. NO SENSE TO BRING IT TO ME IF I 53:02 AM NEVER GOING TO SEE HIM AGAIN. EIGHT PEOPLE THERE -- PART OF THE GROUP. 53:07 SIX WEEKS LATER, ANOTHER GROUP COMES IN FOR A BIBLE STUDY AND ELLEN WHITE STAND UP AND BEFORE 53:18 SHE UTTERS A WORD SHE SAYS, YOU ARE THE MAN I SAW IN MY VISION. AND THEN IN FRONT OF HIS WIFE 53:30 SHE OUTLINES EVERYTHING SHE SAW. I SAW THIS. I SAW THIS. 53:40 I SAW YOU DO THIS. I SAW YOU DO THAT. THE MAN DROPS TO HIS KNEES AND 53:46 HAS TO ADMIT THAT WHAT SHE SAW WAS TRUE. BUT THEN HE SAYS, THAT WAS THE 53:57 FIRST TIME AND I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN. HE WAS TRICKED INTO THIS 54:08 SITUATION AND I DON'T KNOW HOW -- WELL, HE WAS TRICKED. IT WAS KIND OF A JOSEPH POTIPHER 54:17 KIND OF THING AND ELLEN WHITE AGREED, FIRST TIME, LAST TIME. BUT SHE SAYS THE REASON GOD 54:25 SHOWED ME THIS IS TO HIGHLIGHT THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE. GOD DOES NOT VIEW OR SEE OR 54:41 TREAT MARRIAGE AS WE DO. FOR MANY IT IS A MERE CONTRACT FOR OTHERS, IT IS THE SCRATCHING 54:52 OF A BIOLOGICAL ITCH MMM-HMM. SEE, I USED TO TELL PEOPLE, YOU HAVE GOT TO LOVE YOUR WIFE WHEN 55:04 SHE IS 21, AND HER AGE AND HER WASTE SIZE MATCH. 20 YEARS LAYERS IF HER AGE AND 55:18 WAIST SIZE STILL MATCH YOU HAVE TO LOVE HER STILL. AMEN. 55:26 AND VICE VERSA. THE ROAD TO HEAVEN IS REALLY A STRAIGHT LINE. 55:32 AND MARRIAGE IS REALLY A STRAIGHT LINE. FOLK DON'T BELIEVE IT BUT YOU TO 55:35 WORK AT MARRIAGE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE ARE 55:41 FROM VENUS, YOU ARE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS OF HABITS. 55:46 >> AND YOU HAVE GOT TO COME TOGETHER IN BONDS OF LOVE AND IF YOU MAKE CHRIST THE CENTER IT 55:51 WILL KEEP YOU OUT OF DIVORCE COURT AND IT WILL KEEP YOU IN YOUR OWN BED. 56:05 SOMEBODY SAID YEARS AGO WE CAN SEND A MAN TO THE MOON. WHY CAN'T WE MAKE HIM GO HOME TO 56:09 HIS OWN WIFE? [LAUGHTER.] >> IT IS MEANT TO BE FOR KEEPS. 56:18 AMEN? >> AMEN. >> JUST LIKE CHRIST DIDN'T GIVE 56:21 UP ON YOU WHEN YOU ACT UP. >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AMEN. 56:24 >> YEAH. HE THANKS THERE. YOU HAVE GOT TO HANG IN THERE. 56:30 AND SAY WHAT YOU WANT, I STILL BELIEVE THAT BEING MARRIED IS BETTER THAN NOT. 56:35 >> AMEN. >> I AM NOT CATCHING ASPERSIONS AGAINST PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT 56:41 MARRIED. I JUST THINK BEING MARRIED IS BETTER. 56:44 AMEN. >> AMEN. >> FIDELITY IS BETTER. 56:48 EL WILL, ELLEN WISE SAYS THIS, MY TIME IS GETTING AWAY FROM ME. 56:54 ELLEN WEISS SAYS THIS. >> SHE SAID, AH, HERE IT IS. 56:58 SKIP THIS, SKIP THIS, SKIP THIS AND GO TO THIS. 57:02 THE LORD KNEW THAT MANKIND WOULD NEED RESTRICTIONS AND GUIDELINES 57:08 ON HIS LIFE, SO HE DIRECTS, HE COMMANDS AND SOMETIMES HE 57:13 POSITIVELY FORBIDS. THE LORD WELL KNEW THAT THE 57:17 HAPPINESS OF HIS CHILDREN WOULD DEPEND UPON THEIR SUBMISSION TO 57:22 HIS AUTHORITY IN LIVING BEAD AUDIENCE TO HIS HOLY WILL. 57:28 JUST TO HIS HOLY JUST AND GOOD RULE OF GOVERNMENT. 57:36 ♪ ♪ ♪ |
