Nr. 136:

For they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.

We read that a wife had been unfaithful to her husband and had gone home to his father and family but was picked up by a scorned husband. We read in Judges Book 19 1 In the days when there was no king in Israel, there was a man, a Levite, who lived at the head of Ephraim Mountains. He took a concubine, a woman from Bethlehem in Judah. 2 But concubine was unfaithful to him and left him to his father's house at Bethlehem in Judah. She stayed there for four months. 3 Then took her husband away for her. He would speak kindly to her and get her to come back. He brought with him his servant and a couple of donkeys. She led him into her father's house, and when the father of the girl saw him, he received him with joy.

This infidelity seems that had "invoked" spiritual powers, for we read on the end of the chapter from v. 16 evening came an old man from his work in the field. The man was from Ephraim Mountains, but was living in Gibeah. Otherwise the people of that place Benjaminite. 17 When the old man looked up and saw the wandering man who sat there on the square of the city, and said to him: "Where are you and where are you from?" 18 He answered, "We come from Bethlehem in Judah, and be far up in Ephraim Mountains, where I'm from. I have been to Bethlehem in Judah. Now I'm on my way to the house, but nobody will give me shelter, 19 even though we have both straw and fodder for donkeys our and bread and wine, both to myself and to service your woman and servant of your servants bring with them. We lack nothing. "20 Then said the old man," Peace be with you! Let me make sure everything you need. You should not stay in the square. "21 Then he brought the man into his house and gave the donkeys fodder. When they had washed their feet, they got food and drink.
22 While they were enjoying themselves, some of the men in the city, wicked people, surrounded the house. They pounded on the door and shouted to the old man who owned the house: "Tell the man who has been in with you, so we may know him!" 23 Then husherren out to them and said, "No, brothers, does no harm! Since this man has taken into my house, you must not do anything so vile. 24 See, here is my own daughter, who is a virgin, and her husband's concubine. You can I send out, so you can take them and do with them as you see fit. You must not do anything so vile towards this man. "25 But the men would not listen to him. Then the man took his concubine and brought her out to those outside. They lay with her and assaulted her all night until the morning. They did not see her until it began to brighten.
26 At daybreak the woman came and fell down the front door of the man's house, where her husband was. There she was lying to the dawn. 27 In the morning her husband stood up and opened the door of the house. He went out and would go away. And behold, there lay his concubine, slumped in front of the entrance to the house with your hands on your doorstep. 28 He said to her: "Rise up, so we can get going!" But there was no answer. Then he lifted her up on the donkey. So he got up and went to his own home.
29 When he came home, he found out a knife, grabbed the concubine and cut her body into twelve pieces. You sent out throughout Israel's territory. 30 All who saw it said, "Nothing like that has never happened and not been seen, from the day the Israelites went up from Egypt until now. Think about this, consult together and say what you mean! "

So it happened that was a turning point in Israel

Judges 20 1 Then all the children of Israel out, and the whole church, from Dan even to Beersheba and from the land of Gilead, gathered as one man for the Lord in Mizpah. 2 And the chief of all the people, for all the tribes of Israel, stood up for God's people's assembly, which was four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword. 3 And the children of Benjamin heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah. Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness? 4 And the Levite, the murdered woman's husband spoke up and said, I and my concubine came to Gibeah in Benjamin to stay there overnight. 5 But the men of Gibeah rose against me, they surrounded the house at night I was in, my thought to have slain, and my concubine they, as she died. 6 Then I took my concubine and cut her into pieces and sent her throughout all the land of Israel and the rich, for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel. 7 So now I gathered here, all the children of Israel, saying now your opinion and give advice here! 8 Then all the people went down to one man and said: None of us will go over to his tent, and none of us will go home to his house. 9 And so will we do to Gibeah: The ticket with the *! 10 Now we will take ten men for every hundred of all the tribes of Israel and a hundred of a thousand and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victuals for the people, so they, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have done in Israel.
11 So all the men of Israel gathered against the city, knit together as one man. 12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What is this evil that is done among you? 13 Now therefore deliver the wicked men of Gibeah so that we can beat them to death and purge the evil from Israel! But Benjamin would not listen to their brethren, the children of Israel words. 14 And Benjamin came to Gibeah of all their cities to go to war against Israel.

Sin begets sin, violence begets violence, begets infidelity worse sins as homosexuality, rape etc.

This is happening today in Norway, even in the church of God

What did this? Many things, but I will point out a sin that is worse than all other sins and is a gateway for all other sins. The divorce and remarriage. I know that many people shake their head at me, and I believe is both harsh and judgmental. But we read in the text that one woman who had been unfaithful was snowing violence rate and by his spurned divorce, split up into 12 pieces and sent throughout Israel. Benjamin tribe of his punishment, which deserve. But it all started with a sidesparang and that she left her husband, who later got such katostrofale effects where house itself was a warning after being raped, killed and maimed.

We undermine the "truth" of having "some truth"

We place emphasis on the moral thing, that the marriage is good, and more. But when one does not currently place a stop to re-marry in the church of God ii særdelshet among preachers and leaders, we are direct to open up to Satan in the church and the world.

God's standard need to place

God's standard is that remarriage is adultery, there must be warned against and those who marry again as believers without valid grounds for divorce are adultery. Not once forsesle, but that the other will not repent. Only then can there be talk of remarriage. Among the preachers and leaders, remarriage excluded under all circumstances. There is only death that the opportunity for a new ektekskap!

Remarriage is adultery!

Luke 16 18 Whoever separates himself from his wife and marries another woman, he commits adultery, and whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband committeth adultery.

It is tragic to be separated, which we all understand and realize. But it is the subsequent action to remarry again that is to commit adultery or to initiate a relationship with a divorced. When this happens among preachers and shepherds in the church of God is sin and call the impact far greater and more serious. Scripture is clear, if the label is to be an either live alone or be reconciled to her, everything else is a sin and commit adultery. And those who marry again believers who will not inherit the kingdom of God and should not be welcomed in the church, the church inflicts åndmakter from the evil which in turn leads to spiritual death and depravity.

1. Kor. 7. 10 The married I command, yet not I but the Lord, that a wife should not separate herself from her husband, 11 but she is separated from him, as she remain unmarried or be reconciled herself with her husband - and that a man does not to separate himself from his wife.

Remarriage is the touchstone No. 1 on the church follow God or Satan

As the world will be tried and held accountable to how one has dealt with Israel and the Jews, the church will be held accountable to how one is treated and accepted remarriage and other ethical dilemmas. Remarriage is currently the largest and most serious sin in God's church when one of this opens up for adultery. Which opens up for demonic activity, and all that comes with.

What does the Bible on this subject?

Israel will be a lifting block for all Gentiles, so also this with remarriage for God's church. When one can not let the focus be on homosexuality and that we believers should be slightly better than the world, but what scripture says. It is our guideline, the writing alone.

Marrying a divorced or even as a divorced marriage is fornication

That someone is divorced are tragic and painful for all implicated and our sympathies and feelings are all here. But it is to marry again or to marry a divorcee who is sin and to commit adultery. Not to be separated first and foremost, but to initiate a new relationship, it is sin and adultery. They shall not inherit the kingdom of God and with such an action opposing a directly against God and his word and commit adultery.

Luke 16 18 Whoever separates himself from his wife and marries another woman, he commits adultery, and whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband committeth adultery.

Sin unto death - what is it?

1. Joh. b. 5 16 If anyone sees his brother doing a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life - I mean those who sin not unto death. There is sin unto death: it is not about it I tell him to pray.

What is the sin unto death? It is to live such as Pastor in January Hanvold who says he is guilty of two adultery and lives now with his "third" wife. This is a sin unto death, when Scripture says clearly that he was then living either alone or reconcile himself with his first wife. Living alone had to be clearly better for him when he says openly that his first wife, he was not fond of and he had bad sex with her but with his past as he is 20 years younger than him, he has good sex. That man also is sick of mind should have been obvious to most people in my opinion.

Paul taught that an overseer should be a one woman man

We read that in GT, NT, and in the coming 1000 year kingdom to preachers and those with management responsibility should be clean and only one woman man. This is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, even though Protestants accept this over a low shoes today, even in our beloved Norway.

This is an article I had in the newspaper the day in 2007: James says in his letter chapter 3.1: "My brothers! Not many of you become teachers! For we know that we will get the stricter sentence. "

The responsibility is very great to be a preacher. There is a big difference to be a common church member and to be preaching. But that's not to say that one is more loved by God, but it has to be faithful over the responsibility God has given. I believe that God will forgive all of any sin. But there are other things that must be considered, as preacher holds any special responsibility. Would someone in a profane context allowed a pedophile to work with children? No. Equally clear is the font that we should not be allowed a re-married preacher to preach to other people with their own meetings.

But when one holds an office as a preacher, so requires a lot. Therefore James says that not many will be preachers. Why can not a preacher taking liberties only at its own expense, he has a special responsibility of God and their fellow man.

When it comes to marriage, it is not permissible for a minister to marry again under any circumstances, when he was ineligible for the office he has received. It's like an athlete cut the legs off, he is no longer fit to be a sportsman, if he wants. A minister should be one woman man, we see Paul's teaching about time after time. (1 Tim. 3:2 and Titus 1:6).

We read that writing provides a clear testimony of the priest of the old covenant, how he should live, who stood in the same responsibility before God and their fellow man as Ecclesiastes and supervising the man standing in the new covenant. 3. Genesis 9:14 p.m.: "A widow or a divorced or a dishonored woman or a prostitute - something he must not marry. Only a virgin of his people shall he take to wife. "

We read that God gives the same testimony and require the same of the priest during the upcoming 1000-årsriket that will serve the Lord for the people of Jerusalem in Israel where the law shall go forth from it. Ezekiel 44:22: "A widow or a woman that her husband has divorced itself from, they will not take to wife, but only virgins of Israel. But they can take a widow who is the widow of a priest. "

When the writing is so clear when it comes to the priest in the Old Covenant and the 1000-årsriket, it is no less clear when it comes to the church's time catering, we who live in the loveliest and greatest privilege of all, "one woman man." There is even a apestrof of one so that it shall leave no doubt.

In the same way that the scripture says it is demonic and forførisk refusing a minister and overseer to marry (1 Tim. 4:1) is to come under the same adverse conditions to accept and allow ministers to marry again while the spouse liver, it is only by death that it may be appropriate for an overseer to marry again, and then with one that is not divorced!

I think this is the most appropriate message to the church of God that the standard must be raised on leadership - not the sheep and the sheep - the church of God!

We will not deny the fact that the leadership and the ministry is to characterize the faithful so make a lot of work the Bible says we are a disgrace guy bad preaching. And a man of honor by listening and accepting biblical and proper preaching. A preacher can never lead the church longer than he himself has come, and he \ she was misled, then join the congregation there.

Luke 6 39. He also told a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? do they not both fall into the ditch?

As preachers and what we stand for, will also lead the church either "heaven" or the opposite.

2. Tim. 2. 20 In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for good use and some simple. 21 He who purifies himself from all that, a man of great use, consecrated and useful to the house master, prepared for every good deed.

So be very careful what you and whom you lend your ear to. And even more careful, what you open yourself up and accept.

Skevas sons

Acts 19. 13 Some itinerant Jewish astrologers also tried to say the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits in him, and said: "I conjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches." 14 There were seven sons of the Jewish chief priest Skevas who operated on with this. 15 But the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and I know who Paul is, but who are you?" 16 The man who had the evil spirit in him, went off on them, overpowered them and beat them to blood, so they ran out of the house naked and beaten.

The majority of all the Terms of believers is unknown in the spiritual world. Smith Wigglesworth said that Satan is the most Christian churches, their thanks and sprouts when he has nothing to do. Living with God is to go with him in accordance with God's word in all parts. Not a bit here and there, but to follow him when it comes to the following 10 things which I here set up to end:

1) Salvation in Jesus name alone.

2) Baptism in Jesus' name with full immersion after one has come to believe.

3) Baptism in the Spirit with tongues as a sign!

4) Remarriage is a shame.

5) Remarriage among preachers are not permitted.

6) Bible teaching is significant and the study of scripture is required.

7) All believers should be within its Christ Courts.

8) The Church and Israel are two seperarte units that God uses in different ways.

9) Evangelism is the church's mission and pray for the sick and other people in need.

10) God's program is that Israel should also be saved as a man in a day!
