Infidelity Training

There are two reasons mentioned in the Bible where divorce is authorized.

One reason is the death of either of the husband or a wife.

1 Corinthians 7:39 A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

The second reason is marital unfaithfulness.

Matthew 19:9 And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”

Not all may accept this though many are divorced and many are still in a relationship where either the other partner or both are committing infidelity.

Jesus taught us to forgive those who sins against us.

Matthew 4:12 and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.

He wants us to forgive those who sins against us not once or seven times but seventy times seven or 490 times.

Matthew 18:21-22 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

At the same time He warned us not to make ourselves at home among those who indulges in sexual sin or the sexually promiscuous.

1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.

Be that as it may, there must be true repentance from the offender, prior to forgiveness, that it won't happen again. The marital unfaithfulness must not be committed even once, but when committed the forgiveness must be given only once, otherwise, You are allowing him/her to take the infidelity training hoping that he will graduate soon, after repetitive offenses, to finally know the difference between right and wrong.

The question lies on how far can you tolerate your partner though one offense is permitted for a divorce in God's law.

Attitude

Soft spoken, kind, compassionate, gentle, temperate, considerate and all good manners associated to being godly. These qualities are being imitated by the so-called holy priests and pastors of religion. They will never show an attitude of anger, hatred, dismay, weary, impatience and annoyance, but they want us to hear instruction that will cause us to err from the words of knowledge.

Galatians 4:17 They zealously court you, but for no good; yes, they want to exclude you, that you may be zealous for them.

Matthew 23:15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

Being godly is to have a Christ like attitude where all angles of truth are looked upon no matter what others may say.

Jesus overturned the tables of Sellers who made his Father’s house a house of merchandise!

John 2:14-15 And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.

Jesus scolded Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, who does not know that a man must be born of water and Spirit to enter the kingdom of God.

John 3:10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?

Jesus rebuke sharply those, the scribes and Pharisees, who heed to fables and commandments of men that turn away from the truth.

Matthew 23:23-27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.

Jesus is a man of peace but can be a man of distinction in the pursuit of truth. A very different attitude that must be imitated by all. A Christ like attitude.

The Author

Revelations 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Having an account of the past, the present and the future, whatever God does, that's the way it's going to be, always.

Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him. That which is has already been, And what is to be has already been; And God requires an account of what is past.

But there is one thing that God can not do.

Titus 1:2 in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,

Aside from the surprising truth that He can not lie, this sinful act of burning the innocents never ever come into His mind.

Jeremiah 19:4-5 “Because they have forsaken Me and made this an alien place, because they have burned incense in it to other gods whom neither they, their fathers, nor the kings of Judah have known, and have filled this place with the blood of the innocents (they have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or speak, nor did it come into My mind),

Including the incident when the woman boiled and ate their own son sharing even some of the cooked flesh to others for supper.

2 Kings 6:28-29 Then the king said to her, “What is troubling you?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him’; but she has hidden her son.”

God is the beginning and the end, whatever happens in the middle will not affect or change the conclusion of the Story, perfectly made by the author in to His own delight.

Apostle's Religion

The exact word Church of God was mentioned in the Bible (King James Version) 8 times by the New Testament.

My intention is to show internationally or globally that the name of the Church can be read in whatever dialect or languages it was translated.

I just can't understand why many of us are not inside this fellowship where all must grow in faith together.

English, 1 Corinthians 1:2 To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, saints by the selection of God, with all those who in every place give honour to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

Tagalog, 1 Corinthians 1:2 Sa iglesia ng Dios na nasa Corinto, sa makatuwid baga'y sa mga pinapagingbanal kay Cristo Jesus, na tinawag na mangagbanal, na kasama ng lahat ng mga nagsisitawag sa bawa't dako, sa pangalan ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo, na kanila at ating Panginoon:

Multitude Of Sins

The soul that sins is the soul that dies.

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

Let us therefore be wise in choosing whom to follow because following a blind leader does not exonerate the blind soul. Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch?

Matthew 15:14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.

Do what is lawful and right, and must kept all God's statutes and observed them, that we may surely live.

Luke 9:25 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

James 1:15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

But, Woe to the man that cause people to sin.

Matthew 18:6 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Blessed is he who brought back someone who wanders away from the truth.

James 5:20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

The Wise Man

People have different belief and spiritual faith. One may say, respect ours and we will respect yours, which is not biblical at all.

Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

There is chaos when there is no basis. There is no agreement when there is no meeting of the mind. There must be an authority to decide, enforcing the decision to accept and agree in unison.

When you have a problem in music then go to a music teacher & learn; A lawyer for a legal dispute; A doctor for medical consultation & treatment; The Bible for religious belief & spiritual faith.

Isaiah 34:16 “ Search from the book of the LORD, and read: Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall lack her mate. For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them.

Do no stick to what you believe is the truth. Your reasoning must be with the word of God, not yours or from whomsoever. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.

Proverbs 26:12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Be not a blind follower of a blind teacher, who holds fast in the word not being taught, who can't anymore distinguished sound doctrine, and refute those who oppose his belief.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

Are these written in the book of the Lord?

Kneeling to Mary while praying the rosary. Sign of the Cross. All Souls Day.

If your answer is YES, then you are not a wise man.

Titus 2:7-8 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.
