Some Use Family Situations

• Families often justify each other

• This then becomes the standard for them

• Many in and out of the church change their views when a family member gets in a mess

• Are we allowed to change the word of God to fit our unlawful situations

• God is no respecter of persons

Some Rely On Emotions• That doesn’t seem fair

• That doesn’t make sense to me

• That can’t be right

• Notice Ezra 10:10-11, 44

• What God says “makes it so”

• Truth is not always easy to swallow

• What about, Naaman-Fiery serpents- Jericho

Man is “Not at Liberty”• Man doesn’t have the right or authority

to make the call on what is right or fair when it comes to spiritual things

• God is the sole authority

• Jer 23:18-20

• Prov 16:25

• Prov 3:5-6

Many Will “Look to Preachers”

• Brother your OK !

• If my preacher says it’s OK, that is fine with me

• Who has become the standard in this situation ?

Jesus Made This Statement

• John 12:48

He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Do You Believe What Jesus Said

• 2 Tim 3:16-17

• 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

• 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

In Morality• Some say it only applies to Children of

God and not to those outside of Christ

• If one is not subject to God’s moral law then what law are they subject to.

• What does this mean – I Cor 6:9-11,. Gal 5:19-21

• What about Rom 1:18, Rom 1:24-32

In Marriage Law• God and God alone determines what is

right in marriage Acts 5:29

• God has always had laws governing marriage Gen 2:24, Mal 2:16, Matt 19:3-9

• Still binding today on us all Mat 19:9

• Whosoever, it makes no difference who

• Same Matt 19:9 as it is in Rev 22:17

In Divorce• Does God have a voice in Divorce

Mal 2:13-16• Sin is the result of most divorces- no way

around it• Jesus taught Matt 19:6• Whosoever Matt 5:32• Depart I Cor 7:11• Notice I Cor 7: 10,11,12,13

In Remarriage• Only two reasons given in scriptures for

remarriage

• Death Rom 7:1-3, I Cor 7:39

• Fornication Matt 19:9
