Eli Yoder Open Adultery Promotion

Beware of teachers that will lead you into damnation. The bible specifically tells us that to divorce and remarry is adultery. However, not all marriages are biblically legitimate. There is an exception rule due to an unchaste woman (Mt. 5.32 and Mt. 19.9), wherein a woman cannot bond a man in marriage due to her lack of sexual purity. Other than that, those who marry and divorce, and then remarry commit adultery. They who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Gal. 5.19-21)

Eli Yoder, who has been known to have married two different women, had a right to divorce his first wife of fornication. Now, he is misleading others so as to tell them to the effect they are not “bound” in marriage and a woman can leave her husband and marry another man. He twists 1 Cor. 7:15 so as to lead people into adultery. (“Does God condemn divorce?” 00:10:07-42)

^“But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.” (KJV, 1 Cor. 7.15)

People are subject to their own actions. The unbelieving man or woman married to a Christian can depart at his or her own will even though the Christian does not desire it. However, it is always better for the couple to remain married. Nevertheless, the Christian does not have to go to unnecessary lengths to keep the partner. Notice the “unbelieving” person (apistos) is an “unfaithful” person. Marriage is a bond (Ex. 22, Dt. 22) between two people, and in the case of an unfaithful spouse and a faithful partner, staying on the course of faith is what is important. Hence, a faithful partner is not “under bondage ”/ obligated to keep or disallow the deviate from making a bad choice of separating. Let him or her go.

However, the decision is critical as to remaining single if that is the choice. Abstinence is required (v.11).

Heresies attempting to give validation for various excuses have arisen against the requirement to stay single after pure marriage--not fornication (Mt. 5.32, 19.9)--divorce cases. Cause is actually insignificant. One I've been questioned with is “abandonment”, which seemingly is just another way of “departing” (v. 15) with or without notice. This act does not give the spouse a right to remarry.

A simple physical and spiritual reason (natural and biblical/spiritual/special agreement revelation) no excuse is valid is that the abandoned spouse's partner still holds a cognizance-factor of the left partner. Until death of the partner, neither would be free to bid for marriage.

Female cognizance-factor was different in the first and second law eras than for men. Women in the Old Testament were wives of polygamous men and had to think about the competitor wives of their husbands. However, polygamy was replaced with monogamy in the New Testament, and the female did not have to compete with other wives for her monogamous husband. Nevertheless, Mt. 5:32 and 19:9 also give the male another chance to marry since obtaining a cognizance factor without bond, he is not liable to a defiled-woman marriage, whereas the woman is always held accountable for her virginity and loss of chastity.

Regardless, Christianity is based upon chaste (Rev. 14.4), male leadership. Nevertheless, a two- or more cognizance-factor wherein one was without a legitimate bond for the male may have an effect so as to prevent him from being an official of a local church due to the act of immorality (even though it was fraudulent on the female's part) that forbade marital bond.

Today, according to the fulfillment of the law era and marital legitimacy, the married female already has a one-male cognizance and the married male already has a one-female cognizance. Either mate leaving this sexual pure state and bonding sexually with another would develop after innocence a two-person cognizance, a state of impurity. Jesus Christ referred to the example of Adam and Eve as to marriage, each having a one-partner cognizance. They were pure. Thus, abiding single after divorce is the only way to stay pure and not increase the cognizance factor to impurity.
