Frances Swaggart Illusion

This is my critique of sister Frances Swaggart and her video Frances and Friends: Speaking in Tongues.

At approximately 40 minutes, 36 seconds on the time line (as of June 2, 2013)... Frances starts talking about an abused girl when she was young and in a "heavy" marriage now. Well, Frances, Mr. Donnie Swaggart and the other man generally sweep the issues away by saying to forget the past. However you can't righteously forget a physical issue, especially if the girl was defiled and doesn't have chastity... then she is no longer able to marry another person.

From what I get, this is much more than a repentance and forgiveness issue as Frances said. It is a sexual cleanliness matter. Do not be deceived and put an important issue under the rug and try to forget about it. We must face any and every issue and deal with it according to God's direction. Marriage has to do with sexual cleanliness of the female and that means she must not have sex until marriage. See Dt. 22 and Ex. 22. So, the girl that was victimized has to follow the chastity commandments even if it means annulment of an illegitimate marriage (legally marrying although not possessing chastity). She must make a decision to live single if she was defiled and she did not marry her first man and he is still living. Then she can sincerely confess her sins and forget about the ugly things. God can make life beautiful for victimized people; they merely must give their problems to God and look for insight through his commandments how to deal with them. We must reason with Him sometimes. You can't just ignore these defilement issues and God's laws concerning them. Telling people to forget and not look unto God how to deal with a problem is a great sin of overlooking. God forbid!

Issues Concerning Marriage: See my sermon Illusion.

Mt. 7:16 "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"

Many Americans are looking for legality without biblical moral. By the way, Mr. Donnie Swaggart has been reported as a remarried pastor. Our church buildings have taken up space on the ground but the people have not learned for the women to be chaste and the men not to be NWO puppets. Neither have many of the people learned Biblical Hebrew or Greek at their church buildings. It would be better to invest in small community training than to leave a will to a church that won't educate well and prosper your posterity.

I personally wish students of the Bible would search more profoundly on issues rather than listening to relatively biased or unlearned evangelists who do not work with their hands for their sustenance. I have a question that I would like to ask you. Have you ever thought about where the money goes that you give to a religious organization? Could it possibly support an unfaithful minister and an illicit relationship or misleading doctrine? Many of the mainstream church leaders need to repent and be theologically re-trained. There is only one church, you do not have to join a denomination. Give your time studying the Bible and God will show you how to support the ministry of God. If you believe in Jesus, you are part of it.

If you will notice, at approximately 1 hour, 6 minutes and 15 seconds on the timeline (as of June 2, 2013), Francis said to the effect that they don't observe the dowry in America. She is right to an extent on that statement. Most don't. However, the Scripture tells us not be like the heathen and take up their practices. We are not supposed to ignore the biblical law concerning virginity and prospect of marriage because of it just because somebody can go down town and remarry and get a government license for it. (Even sinful pastors do it!)

Biblical marriage or female singleness under undesirable conditions is determined by the father of the daughter to be given, not by the daughter or boyfriend! Sexual intercourse precipitates a decision in some cases.

Exodus 22:16 “And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.” Note, this is a command. So in the case of incest, properly and depending upon the circumstances, the relationship would be renounced by the parent, avenged by the parent, or require disannulment and the ex-virgin would have to remain single and not marry someone else at a later time to prevent fornication. If the male partaker had found instead an acceptable (of age) virgin who was not a relative and had sex with her, he would have been expected to marry her.

Incest became prohibited after some dispensational progression through the law. Understanding dispensations and close-relative law:

"In order to understand what is Biblically acceptable concerning the close relative law of marriage, you must realize that God's commandments were given in dispensations. From the beginning, Adam and Eve were the progenitors of the whole earth. Thus, hypothetically, through regeneration, the earth could not have been filled with people without one of their sons having sex with one of their daughters. The close relative law was not in effect at that time. Even later on, as the world passed, what was once permitted in Jacob's time was incriminated in Lv. 18:18. As time continued, God's laws were increased and written. Eventually and finally, the New Testament books were written. So, even with a brief recalling, the marriage between cousins may seem surprisingly close today; however, it did not violate the close relative law of Lv. 18:6- 18)." More details

Even though an incest male partaker is not allowed to marry his female partaker, he still has “known” the female: physically and mentally. If he had married her and died she would be free from her marital bondage to him, but since she can't marry him, she must at least not marry another while the male incest partaker is alive.

Also, a reason the female partaker of the incest case would have to remain single for at least the life span of the male partaker is because she would not have chastity to offer a man, a biblical requirement. Even though many times female incest partakers are manipulated at a young age and not guilty of the crime as the male, the female must not look unto marriage with someone else while the male incest partaker (her first man) is alive. Dt. 22:20 “But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: 21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.”

In our day, many women have suffered physical abuse and on top of that have been misdirected by their so-called pastors. Let me make a brief and safe point: If a woman has been directed to marry even while she is not chaste, she can have that illegitimate marriage annulled.

     It is illusory to think marriage is instituted by mere contract! Marriage is a physical sex act between a virgin female and a male (Ex. 22:16, Dt. 22:13-21, 28, 29)--biblical revelation. The virginity of a woman is proof of a woman's eligibility to marry--natural revelation. The male partner by either sharing or violating the virgin female's chastity becomes either a husband or a polygamist (although legally disallowed in many places), the latter sexual status is in contradiction to a new testament principle of monogamy (I Cor. 7:27). Nature and God's written word, natural and biblical revelation, harmonize as to the enlightenment of the essence of marriage and encourage the continuance of a chaste relationship.

     The once virgin female partner no longer has a justifiable opportunity to have sex with anyone else as long as her first male sex partner is alive--to do so would commit fornication. In the case of the female's first man dying, she would have a justifiable opportunity to date or marry someone else (Romans 7:1-3). Sexual experiences with men other than the first man (while he is living) defile the female and commence a degree of unchastity even if the first man were to die. Marriage is based upon the principle of unity ("one flesh" Gn. 2:24) and chastity.

    Now, on the other hand, divorce is a psychological-physical separation through commitment (I Cor. 7:10, 11): when the act of divorce is put in writing it becomes a public notice.

     So, considering the biblical facts concerning the essence of marriage and divorce, and the world-wide immoral sexual circumstances, there are probably many unregistered (unpublished) marriages (more so than are revealed by statistics, or spoken of) and divorces. Subsequently, due to the disregard of biblical precepts, many unregistered and registered forbidden, but legalized, marriages have resulted.
