Page 35 - The Marriage Covenant

We see then, that in God’s eyes the nations we live in (I live in America) have declared
polygamy to be legal, and many men (and women) are practicing polygamists. They have
married more than one spouse, and these spouses are living. We must judge things as God
judges them. Whereas the Law of God permitted a man to have more than one wife, it never
permitted a man to have another man’s wife, yet man’s government permits this today.
I know that many will ask, “Well what about Christ’s words in Matthew?”

Matthew 5:32
“But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of
unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman
commits adultery.”

The question arises, “Is not a man, or woman, allowed to divorce a spouse and marry
another, if their spouse has been unchaste? Are they therefore NOT considered adulterers
if the spouse violated the marriage covenant by having sexual intercourse with another?”
These questions will be answered later in this series.
It is necessary to lay one foundation stone at a time in order to “rightly divide the word
of God” and arrive at the mind and counsel of Yahweh. We laid three stones thus far:
Understanding blood covenant; Understanding the body as the temple; and Understanding
the lawfulness of a man having more than one wife. The fourth foundation stone to be laid
will be Understanding that the soul is in the blood.
