How Perry Stone Can't Or Doesn't Call Out Remarriage As A Sin
We
live in a day when so-called Christian teachers don't know how
to explain something they just circumvent the subject. They
will go into all kinds of things, even Greek and Hebrew word
studies, to entertain their audience and never get to a
biblical resolve of a sinful situation. Then, they will even
try to sell their material! Modern day churches have turned
into cash cows for their administrations
and leave their audience misled, confused and unlearned.
Allegedly, Perry Stone lacks
being beyond
reproach and fails to have a holy
reputation as to sexual conduct with women.
Notice
how Mr. Stone contradicts the meaning of 1 Cor., chapter
7:10-16,
“... but they have to marry again in the faith”.
(“What Scripture Says About Divorce! | Perry Stone"
00:00:42-46) Marrying again while the former spouse is alive is
remarriage/adultery. You cannot marry again in faith if the
former marriage was biblical
(Mt. 19:9); it would be adultery. A divorcee of a biblically
legitimate marriage (even with an unbeliever) is required to
remain single (v.
11). Adultery was a death-penalty sin just as murder,
unlawfully killing someone.
He
also mentions the subject of bondage, referring to 1 Cor. 7:15,
and misconstrues its meaning. He has not been alone in making
that mistake for sure. Pat
Robertson once wrote to me and attempted to falsely convict
me of his erring theology. Either Pat didn't understand the
same verse under discussion and just blurted out something for
an explanation or willfully misinterpreted it, I would like to
think probably
the former.
Realizing
his fallacy, I reproved, “I would like you to understand
a very important point. On page 167 and 168 you stated that 'if
an unbelieving spouse leaves a believer, the believer is not
bound to the marriage relationship, but is free to remarry.5'
That
is a falsehood! It simply is not true. What such a situation
does induce is the freedom for the believer to 'remain
unmarried' mene'tow
a'gamos (I
Cor 7:11, 15).” (Billings)
So similarly, Perry Stone has fallen for this same type of
misinterpretation. He obviously misinterpreted v. 11 previously
(shown above) and as demonstrated, v. 15 also. When you
blatantly misunderstand two out of seven verses, you can't
expect a very accurate summary and answer to a very important
bible text. It is dangerous not to study and know the Scriptures so as to listen and be deceived intellectually or physically by a pastor. Learn of the sons of Eli. Let no one be guilty of not fully condemning acts of wicked men such as Hophni and Phinehas. The deception of Eve in the garden began with a challenge to what God previously said. Erroneous teachers of the Bible mislead and commit deception in the same way.
Now, let's go on to his Nigeria crisis video. (Stone,
00:04:22-00:05:08) Christians must be concerned about other
Christians. “By this shall all men know that ye are my
disciples, if ye have love one to another.” (John 13:35)
American Christians love Christians in other countries
including Nigeria, and we do care about them.

Mr. Stone can suggest how a president (Mr. Trump) of a nation
can do in other nations but Perry himself can't guide his own
congregation in America faithfully. We must consider Christians
will suffer martyrdom and those who kill are against God's
will. Nevertheless, all the while, American preachers (and
Perry himself) are tolerating and even misguiding people into
adultery and remarriage, a sin that was a death-penalty sin
just as murder was.
Perry
wants to invite Trump
to defend the Nigerian Christians and those being slaughtered
due to radical Islam,
a false religion that came about in the 7th
century.
What he may not realize is that those leading American
churches, as himself, are not worthy
of an office
of a local church and are promoting, ignoring and condoning the
once death-penalty sin of adultery and remarriage. To die in
faith and morality ends in eternal
reward, but to deceive an audience as to toleration of a
death-penalty sin may lead to eternal damnation. Hence, our
unlearned and untaught teachers who do not understand the law
and its fulfillment, especially as to the necessity
of remaining single after divorce (1 Cor. 7:11), are
deceptive and more dangerous than someone killing a Christian,
more dangerous than the Islamic terrorist.
Christians
have a will to help other Christians everywhere throughout the
world. However, our own country is suffering riot and rebellion
throughout. One reason for this is because of hypocritical
leadership and the lack of morality. We have many one-parent
homes. Lost people do not consider God's standards and
fornicate or commit adultery (perhaps even thinking it is
alright according to false teaching as Perry Stone has given).
Islam also believes in multiple marriages; regardless,
Christianity has been monogamous since the coming of Christ and
the establishment of deaconship.
America cannot heal and will not repent without conviction from
the Lord. Chicago is a mere example of moral failure.
We
need to begin working against immorality, lack of love and sin
in our own country if we expect to work against sin outside of
the country! How many preachers have told Trump that
fornication and adultery are sin and that his life doesn't show
a transparent,
clean marriage for himself?
How many preachers and teachers today will speak out against
the remarriages
of Kenneth and Gloria Copeland? How many preachers and teachers
will speak out against things
not beyond reproach, war
(1 Chronicles 28:3), fornication
and adultery in their own congregation?
