The Sermon on the Mount – Part 16


Apostacy is spiritual adultery in the eyes of God.

  • Matthew 5:31-32: “It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.”
  • Genesis 2:24: “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
  • Deuteronomy 24:1-4: This passage is referenced but not explicitly quoted in the transcript. It discusses the permission of divorce in the case of “uncleanness” or “indecency.”
  • 2 Corinthians 11:2: “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”
  • 1 Corinthians 7:15: “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.”
  • Psalms 147:3: “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”
