MacArthur Lies About Adultery

Blatant Contradiction of Scripture:

Mr. MacArthur says if:

“... you divorce for the cause of sexual sin, and marry somebody else, that's not adultery. OK? That's the exception.”

MacArthur is only partially correct in his statement above. Men and women could remarry during Old Testament times, but the woman couldn't be polygamous as the man. Hypothetically, A woman with two concurrent husbands during that era would be charged with adultery for one of them. What if a woman gives her virginity to a man today but does not marry him and attempts to marry someone else? Isn't this the sin of folly! It takes a much more profound understanding of marriage than what MacArthur has proposed as premarital sex. If a woman loses her virginity and marries another man, she commits fornication. Such illegitimate relationships biblically must be annulled. On the other hand, if a woman attempts to marry a divorced (virgin before he married) man who had a virgin wife and she became promiscuous, the woman who attempts to remarry with him overlooks that he is still required to remain single: “Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.” (I Cor. 7:27) His putting away a wife of adultery does not give him the right to marry again.

However, things changed and polygamy expired during the New Covenant. Furthermore, women were specifically commanded by the Lord not to remarry in I Cor. 7:

“10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.” (KJV)

Obedience to 1 Cor. 7:10 and 11 will prevent adultery. Unity of marriage is the opposite of divorce and brokenness. However, what MacArthur says is in direct contradiction as to remaining unmarried in I Cor. 7:10, 11: Even a chaste woman could not remarry if she departed from her husband. So, if a woman is put away regardless of her chastity status or even if her husband had several affairs, she still is directed not to remarry and would be defying the principle to avoid adultery by attempting to marry someone else. Take note Jesus referred to the beginning and the undefiled, monogamous state of Adam and Eve in other verses.

Mark 10:11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

Who's telling the truth … Jesus, Mr. MacArthur or Charles Manson? Of course, Jesus is the only truthful one. Jesus respected the marriage bond between Adam and Eve--the union made through having premarital sex, which became marriage. (Notice at the top of the page it is explained how MacArthur covered up this marriage bond which takes place through female virgin sex.) You need to discern between false light and light, between Satan and Jesus, between a heretic and the Scripture. Study the Bible, especially Ex. 22 and Dt. 22 concerning the requirement of female virginity for marriage, and make your decisions for God.

Divorce may be permissible at times and a fornication relationship must be annulled, but remarriage (adultery) is never permissible. Don't let anyone lead you into remarriage whether the person claims to be a minister of God or not! If you are a woman who has already made the mistake of fornication or adultery, get the illegitimate marriage annulled and live single for God.
