CHAPTER I

Early Immigration For Whites Only

Righteous racial and cultural discrimination: white-only early immigrants

The United States began as a nation for whites. The Constitution was signed by 39 out of 39 white men. Not all of the delegates appeared or signed it, and George Washington is noted as signing it first. The religion of early Americans was generally Protestant. Christianity and the protection of white homogeneity had a great influence on the legal system that developed in the following decades.

Naturalization Act of 1790: “This law limited naturalization to immigrants who were free White persons of good character.” (United States)

Not only were the citizens of the US designed by law to be white, but they were directed to be sexually moral and faithful to their families.

Moral status quo: men of the USA expected to keep clean marriages

An adulterer (philanderer) was not tolerated. According to 8 CFR § 316.10(b)(2)(vii), can you imagine how well our country could have been if it had kept the beginning moral against whoremongering and remarriage. A nation for the white citizen that forbade immorality!

Good moral character (United States § 316.10)

White sovereignty: have we crossed the line of no-return

People of today are still expected to have racial discernment and respect toward homogeneity and genetic, family lineage. It is improper for a national leader to think to give the nation's founders' inheritance to others (through Affirmative Action and illegal immigration). Ruth of the Bible respected the race and sovereignty of those who received her. Politicians who subvert and pervert racial establishment work to the contrary and for Satan. Rehnquist, O’Connor and corrupt judges as such deserved no place in once homogeneous America.

Evolution, divine blessing, history and recent centuries apostasy

As the world evolved, the Lord scattered (Gen. 11.8) the peoples. Shemitic and Japhethic (white) people were advanced through the blessing of Noah (Gen. 9.27). However, the race-mixing complexion of the globe seems to imply the wicked of the world are rejecting the divine institution or trend and principle of racial homogeneity, and turning back toward the tower of Babel and lawlessness. They call it “diversity”. They slanderously refer to former White superior position and seemingly almost any current White advantage as White supremacy, but at the same time accept non-Whites having special favor of quotas and Affirmative Action.

Some haters of God and unbelievers in the Lord Jesus Christ say that people should live under the simple culture and laws established in the days of Noah. That was the first law era. However, you can't just ignore the Torah because laws changed from the beginning law era unto the second law era, Deuteronomy. A person needs to know the second law also, especially Dt. 18:15... this leads to learning the Tanakh and the New Testament. Attempting to live in a past religious era cannot fulfill the expectation of living righteously today. It would be denying prophecy and fulfillment of the law (NT).

Those that say particular, racial blessing and genealogical lineages (races and subraces) do not exist defy the words of Noah. Some sub-races became extinct, for example, the Hebrew tribes, but the Gentile sub-races and tribes continued without biblical requirement of intra-tribal continuity as the Hebrews (Nu. 36. 5-13).

God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. (Gen. 9.27)

Japhethites (white people) are blessed under Noah's blessing... “יַ֤פְתְּ אֱלֹהִים֙ לְיֶ֔פֶת” (Unicode/XML Leningrad Codex, Gen. 9.27), which I transliterate,  “Yaft Elohim leYefet” (Unicode/XML Leningrad Codex, Gen. 9.27), and paraphrastically translate as “Let God widely open in abundance to Japheth” (Unicode/XML Leningrad Codex, Gen. 9.27). To add and continue in that blessing, a person needs to follow the message of Jesus Christ (read the NT, fulfillment of the law).

On the bright side of Noahic spoken destiny, Japheth, the progenitor of the white people, was enlarged and privileged. God “opened” him: made him spacious, wide, open... perhaps pertaining to his mental abilities also. His descendants brought civilization (Christianity) to the world after the fall and dispersion of the Hebrews (descendants of Shem, a darker colored people in between the white and the black). The ministry of bringing God's message to people of the world was extended beyond the Hebrews, a reddish people. Europe, Asia, South Africa and many other pilgrimages of faithful, white men (USA) were blessed and brought forth great religious, moral standards and industry.

Governments and spiritual wickedness in high places

Considering all the works and antagonism of man and demon against God and the blessings of the descendants of Japheth, the White still has many blessings and an inherent desire to lead and share his wealth (spiritual, intellectual and material). The antagonist can persecute only to the degree that God allows, but he can't change God's will and lastingly overthrow his design! The Anti-Christ himself will only be permitted a temporary rule.

Love God’s direction and one another

Finally to my Japhethic kindred, let no one deceive you and take away or lessen your Japhethic and genetic lineage blessing. Phenotypic, genetic and genealogical purity is part of the divine, racial and sub-racial architecture. Noah was blessed of God, and this blessing is divinely natural and has genealogically and genetically continued for millennia. More importantly, remember to study the Scriptures with faith and by all means receive the blessing of salvation by calling out to God. “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” (John 6.37) Love all peoples but be genealogically and genetically wise, intelligent and protective.

Recognizing our personal faults, overthrow and demise

Nevertheless, as to our own nation, good moral protections of early America have been perverted and ignored. Our nation has not enforced good law as to homogeneity and morality. Many of our own have stood against us, and the Bible. They chose “strife” against White sovereignty, human ideas and “rivalrous ambition”, my translation (Westcott and Hort, Gal. 5.20), against biblical laws and institution, which were previously adapted to and written in the early Constitution.

The word, “αἱρέσεις” (Westcott and Hort, Gal. 5.20), which I tranliterate as “haireseis” (Westcott and Hort, Gal. 5.20), and paraphrastically translate as “rivalrous ambition” (Westcott and Hort, Gal. 5.20), denotes the temperament of our condition during the Civil War. Against one another, theologically, politically and socially we have suffered quarrels, “ἔρις” (Westcott and Hort, Gal. 5.20), which I transliterate as “eris” (Westcott and Hort, Gal. 5.20), and translate as “strife” (Westcott and Hort, Gal. 5.20). Probably worse, we also have suffered enmity against one another, “ἔχθραι” (Westcott and Hort, Gal. 5.20), which I transliterate as “ekthrai” (Westcott and Hort, Gal. 5.20), and translate as “hatred” (Westcott and Hort, Gal. 5.20). It eventually led to one side killing (James 4.1-2) the other side.

A good lesson to learn is that we need to look back into time and revert to our early ways wherein we were blessed as one homogeneous people and re-build upon the concepts and what our ancestors started, and with God leading:

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (Gal. 5.22-25)

Community living

I attempted to start a community and grounds to accomplish things I believed in. I failed. I wasn’t able to obtain the funds for one thing, let alone getting others to agree. Other races have been successful at making their own communities; however, mine was a little different so as to include all races. Nevertheless, just because I wasn’t successful doesn’t mean Whites should quit trying their own methods. As a guideline, if I were to draw up a document for a Japhethic Christian ethno-community, it would be similar as follows:

The Japhethic, Christian Ethno-Community

1. Racial Homogeneity: We want all Japhethites to have a place to live among themselves in their homelands, a place for whites to enjoy the partnership of other Japhethic whites and to have a white posterity. In the United States that would assume private farmlands or reservations of some sort with Internet communication available. All members must be required to be at least 87 ½ per cent white (Japhethic).

   An exception to the racial homogeneity rule would be to allow other races with multi-lateral values of homogeneity to live there until they had enough members to develop their own homogeneous community elsewhere. A high dominant-race percentage would be required of the non-Japhethic races also; hybrids of a low dominant-race percentage cannot be accepted. Of course tribal homogeneity respect would be required and no inter-racial romance (Shechemism) would be tolerated among existing races. The beginning, most numerous people of one race would determine a racial community and the accepted people of other races would be able to live there with respect to the hosting group and their leadership and racial advancement. Unacceptable disagreement with the desire of separation even as in Nehemiah 9:2, 13:3, Ezra 10:3 and other righteous reasons and leadership of the hosting community would be evident reason for excommunication and departure of an antagonist and perhaps reason for all dissenters to begin a group elsewhere. Ideas of multi-racialism and multi-culturalism are in direct contradiction to our enterprise.

   Phenotype would be a basic and simple way of establishing racial distance. A register and demographic location should be required for all three races if necessary. It would prevent the centuries “Jew” myth, and establish genealogy and genetics as part of homogeneous demographics. The only person or group required to prove their genealogy (Ezra 2:61-63) without a broken link in the pedigree chain back to the time of Ezra and Nehemiah would be the one who claimed to be a “Jew”. Gentiles were never required to have intra-tribal register.

   Religion and Ethnic Culture: Christianity must be determined through Scriptural authority. Anyone holding to the “Jewish” or Roman Catholic religion is reason for disqualification. Our guidance must come from the Holy Scriptures: The Christian ethno-community concept cannot be divided by Roman Catholicism, its contrary teaching of sacraments to the teachings of the apostles and prophets, and rule from Rome. (Acts 15) The elders and apostles were established in Jerusalem, not Italy. We must follow men of the paper (Scriptures), not men of the cloth. Men err, the Scriptures do not. Therefore, we realize adverse religions can't really agree, so we must draw the line at the start.

   An exception to the adverse religion denial would be to those willing to convert from religions that divert from Christianity to complete respect of the Bible as the sole authority of moral and ethic. Therefore, the community could possibly consist of people of different colors and different religious backgrounds, however, respect of the homogeneity rule would be the deciding factor.

   Honor of two genders: Gender must be defined through birth nature having precedence. Generally, men must be providers and women homekeepers. Male and female attributes are manifested in a decent and orderly way through the design and judgment of our Creator. Abomination (male effeminacy or desire of the same sex, or female hardness and ferocity), mockery tolerance and defiance of the Lord would be reason for excommunication.

   Pure and loving marriage would be protected through engagement of chaste-only couples, guarantors and proper wedding ceremony. Remarriage and cuckoldry cannot be accepted. Local church officers must be qualified.

   Finance: Members would have to agree to join financially and legally to build or buy real estate and supplies. No usury shall be tolerated among one another. We can only tolerate a form of husbandry and restricted capitalism to be the basis of our finance system, putting the values of racial homogeneity and perpetual inheritance first. Imperialistic oppression and totalitarianism must be avoided. See the George Orwell documentary.

   Work: Every male member should have a job. If the community is built on a collective farm, the members of the determined-race community must have right to the superior jobs on the farm. If it is a White farm, the White has superiority, if it is a Black or other race farm, they have the right to superior position. The idea is to build together multi-lateral communities and that those of inferior positions will be attracted to go to a community of their own race, which would give them superior position in that particular community. It would also prevent initial investors and anyone from being without a home until they could move unto a community of their like-race and culture.

   Priorities: God's interests and institutions must be our goal. We can allow people of various religions up to an extent but they must not harm our biblical goals or offend our Christian values. No religion shall be allowed to attempt to deny the deity of Christ or try to replace the authority of the Holy Scripture. God sets up nations and brings them down. We do not want to do anything to provoke Him to cause our fall: we must abide in His covenant in order to continue to be blessed as a people. We especially do not want to tolerate murder, adultery and repetitious rebellion such as drunkenness or drugs. Deceived pastors and people living in remarriage according to the redaction (second law) and not repenting toward annulment, undefiled marriage and fulfillment of the law cannot obtain membership. Such sins and crimes must be punished to the extent of eventual expulsion after confiscation and repayment for costs. Minor crimes can be given prison sentences with effective, Christian remedial schooling to prevent continuance of bad habits.

   Divine Architecture: Individual, family structure and paternal posterity is a design of God.

We may never in our current position and status quo be able to politically reinstate our early, national morals because as time goes forward, seemingly the non-White immigration and multiplication, culture, apostasy and immorality increases. However, if some want to try, I believe they should. It is not an easy task to build theological farms that congrue with early American values. When “democracy”—“a one-people government” becomes a multi-people government, the numbers may be too great to overcome.

Justified White genealogical and phenotypical favor

Jesus guarded and took care of his people, the Hebrews. When he spoke to the woman of Canaan, he made it clear that the righteous take care of their own race, who have a specified culture—the OT. law (at that time).

The woman of Canaan observed the racial premise that Jesus the Christ preferred the Jew before herself (Mt. 15. 21-28). She was obliged to respect the sovereignty and blessings of another people above her own.

This particular event in the Scripture proves there is such a thing as righteous, genealogical (racial) discrimination as to Hebrew vs. non-Hebrew peoples. She acknowledged Jesus' racial judgment. She did not promote the false concept of racial nihilism for people to be “colorblind”. She did not suppress racial consciousness, truth and reality. She did not attempt to cause national faction (Gal. 5.20) and riot. She did not ask for the Canaanite dream and equal rights. No, she accepted what she was taught.

Nevertheless, she wanted the blessing and healing of Jesus. She received it. Blessing came without “diversity” doctrine, it came through accepting the status quo of the genealogical distance and culture of peoples, faith and asking. The woman of Canaan must be remembered!

When the Christians of the early US landed upon its shores, they wanted to establish a place for their people and their culture, not the religion and culture of former England, not the religion and culture of the Indians, they wanted their own white establishment and it eventually became a nation. As you see by their naturalization law (above), they were successful in the beginning.

Now, let’s go back to the sexual morality issues

Polygamy was permitted in the Old Testament (Ex. 21.10); that is, the males were permitted several wives--not the wives were permitted several husbands. Although, such as the marriage laws may have been previously, monogamy was instituted according to the teachings of the NT. There was at most one wife among the New Testament church leaders; and in some cases, such as the Apostle Paul's--none! (I Tim. 3.2, 12; 5.9; Tit. 1.6)

Adultery was looked down upon and righteous people feared God

However, on the other hand, Jesus Christ said to the scribes and Pharisees of Jerusalem, “But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?” (Mt. 15.3) Although God is willing that every person repent of his or her sins (2 Pet. 3.9), and to come unto the knowledge of the truth, and to be saved (1 Tim. 24.4), he deals in this life with those who sin. People should fear God, and not sin—the Bible tells me that God says, “Vengeance is mine” (Rom. 12.9). God will judge whoremongers and adulterers (Heb. 13.4).

Allow me to be theoretical

God has earthly ministers to administer vengeance upon those who do evil. Until the legal administration conceives the appropriate direction, and the appropriate direction can only come from the Holy Proceeds—the Holy Bible; until the legislative officials, the legal ministers of this nation concede to God's word; only then, may the unGodliness, oppression and abuse which results from unlawful sexual activity, adultery, be dealt with appropriately from a legal standpoint. Every person will have to stand before God someday and give an account of himself (Rom. 14.11), and those who have been unfaithful will suffer the vengeance of eternal judgment. (See) Heb. 6:2; Jude, v. 7.

Need beyond politics, men with gifts of God

However, politics or legal administrators cannot cure a social disease such as sin. The church must lift up God's standards as a spokesman and witness for the Lord. Society must be reached by God's word and redeeming power. God is calling people everywhere to revere him and to walk in love, caring for one another. There is no substitute for God's word or his prophetic ministers (the church). Religion, politics, education and economic prosperity will only end in futility without the restoring power of God.

The United States claims to be a nation under God; therefore, it should seek instruction by God's commandments, for it is written: “Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord” (Lv. 18.5). Of course, man cannot be justified by works of the law, but rather only by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. However, the OT. laws were not man-made cultural refinements; they are a genuine guideline.

Thus, concerning the marriage law according to the Bible, it should be a national goal to preserve unity in marriage: “So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.” (Rom. 7.3). The only way a woman may marry more than one time is that she become a widow before the second marriage. I discussed in my other, free book, “Nature, Theology, Law, Prophets And Fulfillment” what Biblically constitutes marriage; but for a basic, clear understanding, see my paper “Illusion.”

Compromise

Sadly though, the marital principle has not been adhered to by the public nor the government. I can remember years ago when Hollywood stars and people of power, such as military personnel (of course these were not the only ones), were permitted to divorce and remarry even though adultery was illegal and looked down upon generally by society. The Japhethic and Anglo Saxon people had a strong voice in the US at that time and had formerly made a great stand for life-long monogamy, especially in relative respect to anti-Christian religions such as “modern Judaism” and Islam; however, to mention one reason, due to the increase of sexual corruption of their own people and nation their honor decreased. A nation can't be ruled for any great length of time by a people who don't possess and promote self-rule. Jesus would have us to conduct harmless, undefiled lives and provide honestly for our families.

Even though our primary objectives should not be political, our manifest, spiritual weaknesses show up in politics and other governmental business. (In ancient days, Jesus himself was not excluded from those that received tribute (Mt. 17.24-27). Ironically, now so-called “minorities” and non-Japhethic (non-white) immigrants avoid, if not evade, paying taxes and spend our tax money in this country. They even have better economic opportunities through reverse discrimination and Affirmative Action than the native heirs in some instances.)

In view of obedience to God’s commandments

In retrospect from a political view, if the government would have sanctioned years ago government employment benefits such as job training for better skills, or an opportunity for a higher position to only those that complied with Biblical chastity laws, then there would have been an economic incentive for people to live clean lives. This would have diminished the opportunity of the wicked to have wealth and power and it also would have put pressure on politicians to remember to honor sexual morality. Since the government, having been influenced formerly to a great extent by Christianity but not completely overcoming the ancient, error of Herod the king, and the lusts of its modern, religious, political and military authorities, became lax and did not encourage and promote sexual morality nor did it clamp down on the breaking of moral law. Therefore, the opportunity for unGodliness to spread throughout the country was less restrained. Now our future lies in how well we govern our own lives in an immoral, apostate and violent, internationally bonded economic nation.

God’s law vs. civil law

Man is subject to both God's law and civil law; however, in case of a conflict between God and government, every person should trust and obey God (Eph. 6.12). Risking his life for God's sake, John the Baptist disputed with King Herod. Because this great prophet did not compromise God's word with the politically influential Herodias, her sin of adultery was exposed; and God's kingdom regulations were exalted above all earthly authority. No person, regardless of his, or her, power or position, is excluded from the accountability to obey the laws of the sovereign God.

Good preachers or prophets can have a positive effect on government and the people. Even if the leader doesn’t listen, others still get the message. When John the Baptist, a prophet which Jesus himself said none was greater, reproved Herod, he set an example for NT prophets to proclaim God’s law before human desire of a king.

Prophets keep the people in line with God’s written word

John the Baptist was faithful, even unto death. To the nation’s detriment, we don’t have many prophets like that today in the US. Many will condone the sin of remarriage and commit the same sin themselves before their political leaders.  

1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, 2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. 3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife. 4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. 5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 6 But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. 7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. 8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger. 9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. 10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. (Mt. 14.1-11)

It isn't possible to serve God and to break his law at the same time! Jesus came to fulfill the law, not to destroy it. Purity in marriage began with Adam and Eve and is expected today. Christians must not be hard-hearted as the people were under the “second law” of Moses; we must follow purity in marriage even as the Lord Jesus demonstrated to his antagonists.

We have many marriages today that are not lawful, not based on purity. They can't be amended so as to make them pure; they must be annulled. Marital relationships are not the most important thing in life. Obeying God is!

Today, promotion of virginity and pure marriage is rare. However, God's men are obligated to remain faithful, even at the cost of being hated and persecuted. Even though the prophet John the Baptist died for his message of morality, his precept continues and those who disobey bear their disgrace. “Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.” (1 John 3.13)

Keeping pure theologically and physically

A person can deviate theologically as to purity as well as physically. We must scrutinize the teachings of denominations and renounce them when they lead others astray or when they teach contrary to what the written word does. Roman Catholicism and the sacraments are contrary to the teachings of the apostles and prophets. Things like that grieve the Lord, and I personally believe it may bring chastisement upon anyone who commits such things. Many other denominations do contrary things also. The church is the body of believers throughout the world belonging to Christ, no one needs a denomination; all need the guidance of the written word.

God’s law vs. church rule

There is a conflict between God's law and church law at times. Paul admonished the church of Corinth concerning impurity that a little leaven leavens the whole lump (1 Cor. 5.6). He told them to put away that man who was living with his father's wife from their presence (1 Cor. 5.13). The church must not lower its standards from the teachings of the Bible to the influence and teachings of men, and especially not to the lusts of men! If people in the church are allowed to do just what they desire, rather than abide in Christ, where will the conviction of sin come from? Members of the church should exemplify the light of God. When the church suffers from theological or physical disobedience to God, to whom do the people of the world have to look unto for an example? It is the duty of the church to invite sinners to repentance and belief in Jesus Christ, but not to condone the sin of one who walks in error so as to encourage such a one to keep his or her membership (without conviction of sin, remorse and repentance); hence, an adulteress continuing in her sin must be removed from the assembly. See my paper “Excommunication.”

If there happens to be a case where the woman has committed adultery and she repents: she must put away her second man, and live without any more men—including her former husband (Dt. 24.4). Note that Jesus encouraged the precept of unity; however, he did teach one exception to the rule—“except for fornication” (Mt. 5.32). The concentricity of sexual morality according to the Scriptures is a perfect and excellent guide to interpretation; that is, if a verse is taken in its context, it will not deviate to the contrary with another verse also taken in its context. Afterward, in the above situation, a defiled wife would have to be directed to live a single life. Nevertheless, when a woman marries, it is for a lifetime, and only the death of her husband shall annul the spiritual accountability and responsibility so as to allow her to marry (regardless of the husband's circumstances).

However, if you will notice, many churches today are more like the Pharisees who transgressed God's commandments. The transgression is sexual immorality and adultery in our time and country. Sexual abuse of children, necking, seduction and rejection of marriage among teenagers, and divorce and remarriage have been a problem long before Roe v. Wade. The sale of contraceptives and the rise of homosexuality has been a part of the American culture for decades. Fetal abortion in its late stages is no longer a shocking occurrence.

If we really love someone, the best way to help them is by following the Bible. We all have relatives and friends who need guidance. We are not cruel (as some may say to their own absence of righteous judgment) because we should want to obey God's commandments. Following Jesus without turning to the right or the left is the only way that will please God. The Lord demands total surrender—no compromise whatsoever. Only faithful works are acceptable: not those which are presumptuous or cognizant of error—any substitute method will end in defeat and loss. We should show love unto others as God has shown love unto us; therefore, we should give them a godly example of obedience to God and the Scriptures in word and deed. We should not partake in the deception of people who make excuses and try to justify themselves in contradiction to Biblical teaching. “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” (Mt. 5.18).

Holy men of Israel in the Old Testament had several wives, polygamy. Of course, the women were not permitted to have several husbands at the same time (polyandry). A study in the light of the history of David, king of Israel, reveals that David was a blessed and great man having several wives and concubines. David married Michal, the daughter of Saul (I Sa. 18.27). Abigail became the wife of David (I Sa. 25.42). David took Ahinoam of Jezreel for his wife also (I Sa. 25.43).

David was thirty years old when he began to reign (2 Sa. 5.4). He had three wives at this time, except Saul had given Michal, David's first wife, to Phalti, the son of Laish, who was of Gallim (I Sa. 25.44). “And David went on, and grew great, and the Lord God of hosts was with him” (2 Sa. 5.10). God did not have any contempt toward David for having more than one wife—the Lord God of hosts was with him. David “perceived” that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that He had exalted his kingdom for His people Israel's sake. David knew that the Lord was making him great (2 Sa. 5.12). God was with David, and David took more wives yet, and concubines (2 Sa. 5.13). And David enquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand?” And the Lord said unto David, “Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand” (2 Sa. 5.19). We may correctly infer that David had fellowship and favor of the Lord while simultaneously having several wives and concubines.

Polygamy was permitted in the Old Testament (Ex. 21.10); that is, the males were permitted several wives—not the wives were permitted several husbands. Although, such as the marriage laws may have been previously, monogamy was instituted according to the teachings of the New Testament. There was at most one wife among the New Testament church leaders; and in some cases, such as the Apostle Paul's—none! (I Tim. 3.2, 12; 5.9; Tit. 1.6)

God ordained marriage. The first woman, Eve, was made from the flesh, from the “rib” of the first man, Adam. When God took the rib out of Adam, he took it out of the inner part of Adam's flesh. The origin of Woman is due to God's creative work upon Adam's rib. Adam related to Eve as “bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh” (Gn. 2.23).

Therefore, by general trend before marriage occurs, first of all, a man shall “leave” his father and mother. When a man is old enough to date and support himself, he does not want to stay with his mother and father all the time as a child does; rather, he has less need of the support of his parents so he becomes more independent—enough so that if he chooses to take a wife—he leaves his parents. When he unites with his wife, the couple becomes one flesh (Gn. 2.24).

“Unite” means in this instance for a man to remain attached unto his wife. Eve was flesh of Adam's flesh, so when a woman marries a man, she becomes flesh of the husband's flesh. She may not have been made out of the rib of her husband as Eve had been, but there is a spiritual bond—being attached, being part of one another's lives mentally, physically, emotionally, an ordained unity—one flesh.

When marriage takes place, there is an end to the separate life of the male and the separate life of the female. The single quality of life bonds into a marital unity: “they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh” (Mk. 10.8). God's plan of regeneration is of purity, from one entity, as it was with Adam and Eve.

God is the one who ordained marriage. He has established the marital law: these laws concern a male lying with a virgin female (Ex. 22.16, Dt. 22.13-20, 28, 29). Thus marriage of a virgin female occurs in one of three ways: choice, seduction and rape. (The only other type of sanctified marriage that may occur is due to the death of a spouse, concerning a person as distinguished above, as is referred to in Rom. 7.3. The death of a spouse does not desecrate an opportunity to marry; fornication does and devastates.) When a couple enters into marital unity according to God's specified marital establishment, then it is God who has joined them together. The Lord warns that no one should separate this marital yoke (Mk. 10.9). Therefore, concerning a case of choice, it is very important that a man and woman soberly cherish one another as a prospective future mate and perhaps offer prayer before ever completing the sexual act which constitutes marriage. (It is a blessing to the soul for a person to establish the practice of reading, praying and fasting before his or her pre-marital years.)

Now let's consider a less mutual happy case. For instance, in a case of seduction of a virgin female who is not betrothed (pledged to some man by the father of the female), the issues of virginity and non-betrothal, and bride price are essentials according to Ex. 22:16. Even if the father refuses to give his daughter to the man (the father has the authority to finalize the decision), the bride price is still due from the seducer and hypothetically, the daughter would be directed to live a single life similar as a bride separated from her husband (Ex. 22.17) because the marital physical part of the bond was completed but not officiated with parental approval.

By the way, the ancient, but good and healthy tradition of betrothal needs to be learned, practiced to some extent and revived in our apostate era. It would be wise for a father to anticipate a bride price for his daughter. Suggestively, for instance, a father before giving his daughter in marriage so that he could have some assurance that she will be taken care of by a faithful man with a good Biblical foundation could demand first that a prospective son-in-law read the New Testament in Greek. A man who really loves a woman would want to do something for her, please her male parent and God. Imagine what a difference this would make! Ignorance of this custom and coming short of its principles has caused family leadership and unity to deteriorate, and unchastity to abound.

Contrarily, Esau caused his parents to have grief when he married (Gn. 26.34-35). Today many parents bring grief to their children by not caring and preparing them for marriage. Rules alone will not work; there must be parental love and example. It is almost rare today if you find men and women knowledgeable and firm enough to train their young women according to the standards set forth in Titus 2.2-4. However, even though most people, including many Christians, have not been well acquainted nor properly understood this custom, at least, always remember female virginity is an essential factor in marriage and virgin female chastity is prerequisite to an opportunity for marriage. Look unto the Bible for spiritual direction; do not be misled by the leaders of our time. Many of the people today who are esteemed great in religion have been irreligious, and social prosperity has been neglected and trampled upon in this area. Furthermore, modern law courts have added to overlook consistently the issues concerning the Biblical institutions of marriage.

Having discussed briefly choice and seduction, let's see what the Bible says concerning the institution of marriage due to rape. Society has been influenced through the law courts and media that this is a crime, rather than a marital institution or both. However, if the female is a virgin and she is not pledged to a man, she is considered a wife in God's sight. The man can not divorce her ever (Dt. 22.28-29). However, there may be miscegenation refusals, instances and reasons where a parent may negate virgin loss of virginity and marriage. Nevertheless, the ex-virgin would still be considered defiled and be required to remain single today.

The Biblical precept of marriage as a dowry bride is a physical sexual act between a virgin female and a male (Ex. 22.16; Dt. 22.13-21, 28-29): not a mere contract—once again I recommend that you see my paper “Illusion.” Sexual fornication is a physical sex act which results in unchastity whereas marriage does not; fornication is a form of betrothal defilement before consummation (Mt. 19.9), different than adultery, an act of remarriage after consummation with a former, legitimate wife. However fornication can occur through lesbianism and other horrible sexual acts before and after marriage. Don't reply upon the best dictionaries for the definition of the word, study Scripture from its context. A woman was condemned to death in the O.T. for an unchaste act such as promiscuity while still living in her father's house (Dt. 22.21); and both offenders were condemned to death for adultery (Dt. 22.22). These strict laws were designed by God to purge the evil from the land. The Lord wanted to free the people from sexual uncleanliness. These laws are still useful today (I Tim. 1.8-11).

Curse of unrighteous preachers

However, condemnation to death did not continue in the early church; although, righteousness, inheritance, vengeance and the eternal judgment of God was preached. Before David became king of Israel he had enemies among God's people and those that were not God's people against him. Pressure was upon him, and great numbers tried to prevent him from inheriting the good things that he did (I Sa. 26.19). Beware, the wicked try to destroy the good inheritance—even eternal life—of the righteous, the innocent and those that would come unto God. Paul warned that there were some men troubling the church and would pervert the gospel of Christ. Then he gave his judgment: “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed” (Gal. 1.7-8). Take heed: “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom? Be not deceived: neither fornicators ... nor adulterers”—people who live in sexual immorality are not able to be saved except they should repent (1 Cor. 6.9).

In Ezra's day there was a terrible sin among God's people. They had married foreign wives against the law of God. Today, there is a similar sin in the church against God's marital establishment and covenant: Sexual uncleanliness is widespread. Many of the popular leaders called “Christian” condone and promote this abomination among those that call upon God.

Note: According to the Old Testament, when rape of a virgin occurs, she is required to marry the rapist. (Please acknowledge this rule did not violate the genetic, race prescription in Nu. 36:5-13. Also, note the intolerance of the attempted, inter-racial marriage of Dinah, and the sharing of posterity of Ishmael by Sarah. Racial and cultural homogeneity is expected to be preserved.) This sexual assault may have been considered a great loss to the female victim, but if the sexual aggressor was a boyfriend or someone that the father accepted as a good man but just couldn't handle his sexual appetite at the time, he may have been obligated to approve it.  Nevertheless, the father has the authority to finalize the decision as to marriage according to particular circumstances of seduction.

Sanctity of a marital relationship

The consequences when a woman commits adultery are severe. The defilement of her marital relationship is irreparable. She cannot be restored to her former family because of uncleanliness (Dt. 24.4). Through ignorance of God's marital principles and desiring not to abide alone, many such women have complicated matters through remarriage. I wish men and women would realize how serious the sanctity of a marital relationship is. It is essential to family unity, especially when raising children. When the sanctity of a marital relationship is broken, it afflicts everyone in the family. When a woman cheats on her husband to the degree of physical defilement, the premise for divorce is precipitated. Then the only remedy is to put away the adulteress. It is very difficult for children to live without their mother; but nevertheless, it is much better for the children to live with one parent than to have to live in an unclean house wherein the adulterous woman is imposing her disgrace upon the whole family.

Those among the church that are willing to separate themselves from this ungodly group and do the will of God will be lights among this perverse and crooked generation. The Bible encourages us to be strong in doctrine. We need to study the word of God in order that we may withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand, and have victory over the wicked one.

We need to respond similarly as Ezra and the people who feared God's word and gathered around him. We need to tremble at God's word, pray, confess, weep, and throw ourselves down before the mercy of God. We need to be honest and forward as Shecaniah, admit our sin and resolve it in a godly manner (Ezra 10.2). Perhaps, all hope will not be lost. A penitent woman who has committed this sin may repent, confess and be forgiven, live a separated and single life never to remarry, and even join the church. See my paper “Official Business”:

Billy Graham adultery promotion

Children may be sanctified through believing in the Lord Jesus Christ; they are not responsible for their parent's sins. The mother of Jeph'tha-e was a harlot. However, he is noted one of the great faith men in the book of Heb., ch. 11. That proves to you children of unclean parents cannot only be clean, but precious to the Lord, and great helpers to God's people and the world. (By the way, every woman in these terrible times should know that God wants to bless every unborn child regardless of the sins of the mother. Thus, no abortion should ever take place.)

Billy Graham’s open advice to commit adultery to a divorcee

Paul is strongly giving instructions to “those who have been married”—“ge-ga-may-ko'-seen”, my respective, translation and transliteration (Westcott and Hort, 1 Cor. 7.10), which I would add it translates as though they continue to exist as being married—the verb is a perfect participle. In my paraphrastic form, he says the message is not from himself, “but from the Lord”—“ouk ego' alla' ho ku'rios” (Westcott and Hort, v. 1 Cor. 7.10); “the wife from the husband is not to be separated”—“gunai'ka apo' andro's ma' choristha'nai” (Westcott and Hort, 1 Cor. 7.10), and if she be separated, let her either “abide unmarried”—“mene'to a'gamos” (Westcott and Hort, 1 Cor. 7.11) or “be joined back with the husband”—“to'i andri' katallanga'to….” (Westcott and Hort, 1 Cor. 7.11)

Thus, in case of a separation among the mates there are two choices:

(1) the woman must live separated without marrying anyone else: “mene'to a'gamos” (Westcott and Hort, 1 Cor. 7.11), or

(2) she may be reconciled to her husband, my paraphrastic translation: “be joined back with the husband”—“to'i andri' katallanga'to….” (Westcott and Hort, 1 Cor. 7.11) However, having wisdom and taking thought of the Deuteronomy abomination, there is a danger in separation, because if the woman subsequently commits adultery, then according to Dt. 24:4, she would forfeit her opportunity of reconciliation to her husband due to defilement. Then, after having been defiled, she would have to remain alone at least as long as her husband is alive.  

According to my translation and transliteration, the Lord said to, “let her abide unmarried”—“mene'to a'gamos” (Westcott and Hort, 1 Cor. 7.11). She must live as a single that is restricted so as not to date or court, different and not as a chaste widow, who could marry again (1 Cor. 7:39). 

Many other preachers and teachers have promoted irreligion. Television, radio, and the postal service are broad channels for influence. Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart were involved in scandals at the same time they were ministering to the public (by the way, I do not hold any grudges against any of these men whom I have mentioned). The point I want to make is that people should be on guard against listening to leaders or advocates of an organized religion and contributing money to them without knowing whether what they teach is true or not and not knowing how such people live.

In God's sight, there is only one body of believers, and its sole source of authority concerning truth and morality is the Holy Bible. All of the members of the body are different individuals with various gifts. We need to become well acquainted with the written word of God and pray that the Lord will work in our hearts so that we will be more useful for Him. If you know the Bible well enough, He will do just that!

The body: temple of the Lord

Now let's take a look at the book of I Corinthians. The Apostle Paul asserts to the Christian disciples that the body is not to be used for unlawful sexual activity, but that the body is for the Lord; and the Lord for the body (1 Cor. 6.13). God designed sexual activity as a marital blessing; it is pure. Christians should be purposeful in example, and training their young not to be defiled. People should put their faith in Jesus Christ and consciously abstain from having sex until the day marriage is desired.

The Corinthians had previously written a letter to the Apostle Paul, “Now concerning the things where of ye wrote unto me ... ” (1 Cor. 7.1). In reply, the apostle began expounding by suggesting celibacy. See 1 Cor. 7.7, 32-38. By nature, people are susceptible to sexual attraction of the opposite sex. Due to this, every person should have a helpmate rather than to abuse one's body committing fornication (1 Cor. 7.2). (Note) 1 Cor. 7:8, 9.

Paul emphasizes unto the married woman that it is the Lord who commands her not to depart from her husband (1 Cor. 7.10). However, the woman who departs from her husband has two choices: (1) she may remain single, never to marry another man while her husband is living, or (2) she may be reconciled to her husband. Paul also emphasizes to the married man that it is the Lord who commands him not to put away (leave) his wife (1 Cor. 7.11). Of course, this applies to a chaste wife (Dt. 24.4). (Note) the contrast of the speakers in 1 Cor. 7:12.

Fundamentally, from a synoptical viewpoint, there are two distinct acts, the one subsequent to the other, which constitute adultery. The first act is a sin of “putting away” because the Scripture says the husband “shall cleave to his wife” (Gn. 2.24); and also, that no one should separate what God has yoked together (Mk. 10.9)—“one flesh” (Gn. 2.24). The second sinful act, “marry another,” is subsequent to the first. It also contradicts 1 Cor. 7.10, 11. Whenever a man puts away a woman, he separates a unified entity which God has joined together. This act in itself does not constitute adultery. However, afterward, if he should marry, he commits adultery against her (Mk. 10.11, Lk. 16.18). Also, if a woman should put away her husband and marry another man, she commits adultery ( Mk. 10.12). Any man who marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery (Lk. 16.18).

Every married man has a responsibility to keep his wife under every circumstance, except one: if his wife is unchaste, that is, if his wife has partaken in a sexual act with someone else – this is fornication. Then, and only then, is the husband lawfully (according to the Bible) to put away his wife, and to give her a bill of divorcement. Logically, if a woman, has committed a sin of fornication with someone, a bill of divorcement does not induce her to become unchaste – she has already committed the act which defiled her. If a man puts away his wife for any reason other than fornication, he causes her to commit adultery (Mt. 5.32). Such an act would also violate 1 Cor. 7.10, 11.

As I mentioned before, the king of Israel, David, one of God's great men of the Old Testament, was a holy man, preciously beloved of the Lord. He had several wives: this was a common characteristic among some of the spiritual leaders of the Old Testament. The spiritual leaders of the New Testament had one wife at most, and those, such as the Apostle Paul, chose to live single lives.

A prophet corrected a sinner (actually, another prophet)

The Lord was with David and blessed him in the days of his innocence (even as a polygamist); but when the valiant, young leader committed adultery (lying with another's wife) with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah, it was accounted as sin unto him. David had despised the commandment of the Lord and had done evil in His sight. The prophet of the Lord said,

“7 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; 8 And I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. 9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.” (2 Sa. 12.7-9)

The Lord brought judgment upon David for his wickedness; he and his posterity suffered, “Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house” (2 Sa. 12.10). God brought troubles (defilement that could not be reconciled – Dt. 24.4) upon David within his own house and his immediate surroundings (2 Sa. 12.11). The Lord struck the child that Uriah's wife bare to David, and the child died (2 Sa. 12.18). David's daughter, Tamar, was raped (2 Sa. 13.14). Absalom killed Ammon, his brother, for the outrageous act he committed against his sister (2 Sa. 13. 28, 29). Absalom was eventually killed (2 Sa. 18.9). All this heartache came upon David because he did not follow God's commandment—“Thou shalt not commit adultery” (Ex. 20.14).

David repented of the sin, and his fellowship was restored with God. Of course, he could not bring Uriah back to life and restore his victim's marriage, but he was sorry for what he had done and recognized his error. He did not deny his mistake and try to cover up his actions afterward nor did he just give up; he was ready to try again (Ps. 51). God had used Nathan the prophet to turn the king's direction back to Himself. Since Bathsheba's husband was no longer alive, she was no longer bound to him as a wife; (note) 1 Cor. 7.39, and David was lawfully permitted to keep her as a wife. Afterward, he continued to live the precious, obedient life that he once lived but his life was not the same that it had been before. His conscience had changed too. He had lost his innocence and learned the hard way from some of his mistakes. It is so much easier if people would learn from mere obedience and not have to suffer the results of sin.

God still provides good and blesses those who repent

God faithfully fulfilled his promises of good still to David, but nevertheless, David's life suffered severe affliction. Even though God had freely given him many good things, he paid a tremendous price for his sin of adultery and manslaughter. Eventually, Israel and Judah began to war against one another. The sins of people bring God's judgment. Adultery is a plague to an individual and nation, murder is a plague to an individual and nation, and sin is a plague to an individual and nation.

There is only one righteous way of dissolving a sinful sexual relationship—repentance! Repentance means making a “change” from sin unto obeying God, making a change by doing things God's way, by listening to God's direction, by listening to God's word—the Holy Bible. I hope there is not anything in your life preventing you from carrying out the great commission or delighting in the will of the Lord with joy. God desires that you have the very best in life—which only comes through recognition of God's commandments, followed with obedience.

One living wife at most

Now in closing, with hope concerning the future of our children that they may be instructed righteously and prevail the deception of our time, I will discuss briefly a study concerning virgins. The Apostle Paul answering the letter of the Corinthians begins expounding concerning male virgins. The discourse is directed toward the male (1 Cor. 7.25); (see) v. 28. Paul, knowing the difficulties of marriage, and the problems people were having, thought it was a good thing for a man to remain a virgin (1 Cor. 7.26). Some time had passed before Paul received the letter of the Corinthians. He accounted for the time which had passed before the Corinthians would receive his answer to their letter.

So he asks a question, “Art you bound unto a wife?” (1 Cor. 7.27) I believe what he meant simply in so many words is, “Have you married since I left?” Then he makes an imperative statement, “Seek not to be loosed.” By this statement Paul means that if the male virgin is married now, then he should remain married and not seek a divorce.

Remarriage not permitted in NT

Then Paul asks, “Art you loosed from a wife?” Considering the possibility of the marriage of the male virgin, he also took consideration of the possibility of divorce. Then he makes another imperative statement, “Seek not a wife.” Once having been divorced, Paul disallows a second marriage. Paul considered two possibilities which could have happened while he was away, and he gave his judgment according to each possibility; however, due to his absence, he did not know definitely who had married or divorced.

The Greek distinguishes clearly what sex he is speaking to. Obviously, even from the KJV perspective,  it is clearly seen Paul is speaking directly to the male virgin at the beginning of v. 27. Now, let’s go to the next verse, “But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned”; and he is speaking indirectly concerning the female virgin, “ ... and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned” (1 Cor. 7.28).

Marriage has great use as to fulfilling 1 Cor. 7:2—to prevent fornication

He said that the ones who marry shall have tribulation in the flesh. Marriage involves more problems in the flesh, but Paul would allow them to marry if they desired to do so. Many people today seem to overlook that Paul commended celibacy. A virgin has the advantage of less difficulties than a married person, and besides, if by chance in the future, he or she decides to marry, it is permitted.
