Adultery Takes Two, where is the man?
 
Deut 22:22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
  • After Christ died on the Christ, you are to ask for forgiveness
Deut 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
  • Let him write her a bill of divorcement
Let's see what Jesus says about adultery?
 
John 8:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
  • The scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in for adultery. Where is the man? It takes two

  • Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
  • Theses were saying, this woman taken in adultery, in the very act.
  • Again, Where is the man?
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
  • They were tempting Jesus. What did Jesus do?
  • Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
  • What do you think Jesus wrote?
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
  •  He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
  • Being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one. Beginning at the eldest, even unto the last
  • Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
  • When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
  • She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
  • Walk with the Lord, Not as the world, which is darkness. Satan's ways
  • Jesus said, I am the light of the world

  • What did the Pharisees said? Thy record is not true.
  • Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
  • Jeremiah 4:22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
  • Sottish means to be stupid or sod , stupid
  • Known means acknowledged
  • Do you want to follow Christ or The tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
  • Ye judge after the flesh
  • God is our judge, not man
  • Man always wanted to take God's place, This is why we are in this world age.
  • Christ is able to forgive sin.
  • Adultery is not the unforgivable sin
  • The woman at the well (John 4)
  • The scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery (John 8)
  • They didn't bring the man
  • Jesus forgave the woman, but man will not.
Men are to love their wife as they do their self and also Women is to love her husband as she loves herself.
 
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
 
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
  • Love your husband
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
  • God said, love your wife, As Christ also loved the church
  • If you love the Lord, You will Love your wife
  • Keep her safe. Means to do what's right, work and take care of her and keep her safe
  • Teach the word of God, teach your family what's right and wrong
Ephesians 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
  • Love each other as one
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
  • Love each other as one
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
 
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
  • Shall be one flesh - men and their wives being one flesh, Love your wife even as himself; and wife love your husband as you want him to love you, as Christ loves His own body, the church.
  • Love your husband - Love your wife as one - meaning the same
  • Love your wife even as himself; and wife love your husband as you want him to love you
  • 1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
Roman 2:22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
  • Continuing on the third level, consider our people who commit adultery.
  • We are the bride of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, while He is away.
  • Some will be one of those with child when He returns?
  • Some will take on another husband, the false christ (Satan), before Christ returns?
  • Thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
  • Are we taking from the true temple, which is the body of Christ, and putting in its place, the false christ?
Marriage, one a believer and one unbeliever. Let's see what the law says.
 
1 Corinthians 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
  • The things whereof = what things
  • Ye wrote = The Corinthians had written a letter, but carefully avoided any reference to the disorders among themselves.
  • These had been reported by the members of Chloe's family (1Corinthians:11,12) and the scandal referred to in chapter 5 was a common report, which was perhaps made know by Stephanas  and others (16, 17)
  • To touch a woman = NT:681 (specially) to set on fire
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
  • Did God said, go out and have sex with every man or woman you want to have sex?
  • Let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
  • Also the wife = the wife also
  • Benevolence = but instead of 'due benevolence", all the texts read "the debt", which elsewhere
  • Matthew 18:32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
  • Roman 13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
  • Respect, taxes, etc.., pay what you owe.
  • For those who are concerned that our government sanctions such things as abortion, Vote ... to change the wrong laws like abortion, replace with Christian leaders that follow God's laws.
  • These are the last days, and this is God's Plan.
  • The scriptures tell many of these things would come to pass.
4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
  • Defraud as in verse 6,7, Here, deprive one the other = one another
  • Time = season
  • That = in order that
6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
  • Abide = remain
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
  • If you cannot contain yourself, it's better to marry = self-control
  • Burn = 2 Corinthians 11:29  Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
  • Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, where with ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
  • Get your Interlinear Bible - Here's how this reads:
  • Ephesians 6:16 Above all, having taken up the shield of faith, by which you will be able, all the darts of the evil one having been made fiery to quench.
  • Faith in what?
  • Faith in Christ.
  • Your shield is Jesus Christ Himself.
  • "Of the wicked" in the Greek is of the wicked one, which of course is Satan.
  • Now if Jesus Christ is your shield, Satan can send countless darts, but none shall penetrate your shield.
  • Revelation 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
  • As burned = as glowing
  • Voice same as "sound"
  • The word ''waters'' is symbolic of the peoples in Revelation.
  • He had a voice that was the sound of many people, a voice of authority.
  • Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
 
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
  • Reconciled = Roman 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
  • If God loved us that much, because all have sinned.
  • How much more now are we saved by His life?
  • The elect who stand on the side of God will be saved, and you who study the word of God and have the deeper understanding are the elect.
  • He even is in you and you are in Him.
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
  • You can be married to unbeliever only if, he or she doesn't try to keep you from serving the Lord.
  • Roman 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
  • Sin takes over in my weakness.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
  • Leave = as in verse 11. The same tense and voice, and should therefore be rendered "send away".
  • The absolutely equal rights of husband and wife are insisted on throughout the chapter.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
  • Sanctified = John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
    18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
    19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
  • Husband = all texts read "brother", believer, or Christian brother
  • Unclean = Peter's use of this word in Acts 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
  • Acts 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
  • Holly = This, as contrasted with "unclean", must be the same ceremonial sense, but there may be a thought of the dedication of the child to God by the believing parent, and the influence he or she would exercise upon it.
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.
  •  A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
  • If one wishes to leave, let him leave or her leave
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
  • Matthews 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
  • New birth Age. If you are worshipping Satan you did not wait for Christ, you are helping Satan bring in Babylon, confusion, his flood of lies.
  • With child means: you did not wait on The Lord, the marriage supper of the Lamb
  • If Christ comes back and find you chasing another husband meaning Satan, you did not wait on Christ, you are in bed with Satan
  • Most married men want to care for their family
34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
  • Same as verse 33
  • There is difference between as in verse 17 (distributed)
  • Body = the body
  • Spirit = the spirit
35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
  • Today you can serve God and family, because of the travel time
  • Profit = same as "expedient"
  • 1 Corinthians 6:12 12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
  • Something to hamper or fetter
  • That which is comely = decorum or propriety = Acts 13
  • That ye may attend = for devoted attention = Greek euprosedros = the texts read = euparedros, with the same meaning, only here.
  • Without distraction = cumber
  • Luke 10:40  But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
  • She trouble herself, cooking too much, she should be teaching in the word of God.
  • When it comes to the word of God, it should come first, because it stays with you.
36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
  • Think = same as "suppose" = verse 26
  • Behaveth = acts unseemly
  • 1 Corinthians 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.
  • Virgin = virgin daughter
  • Pass = be of full age
  • Need so require = it ought to be so
37 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
  • 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
  • Having no = not, as in verse 1 = having
  • Necessity = constraint = as in verse 26
  • Power = authority
  • Over = concerning = as in verse 1
38 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
  • Giveth .. in marriage
  • Elsewhere = Matthews 22:30 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
  • Philip had four daughters, they all being virgins
  • They taught many with their father
  • It was better they didn't marry, because they were traveling doing God's words
  • Today you can travel from city to city and be back at home the same day.
39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
  • At liberty = free, as in verse 21, 22
40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
  • God has chosen her
  • Spirit of God = Divine Spirit
