Notice 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.

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 7^th 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?

Understanding The Difference Between Fornication And Adultery

If American Christians want to help other Christians elsewhere, they better start working out their problems at home first, and especially in the local church, the house of the living God!

Thank God people can go to the Internet and see reproofs of erring ministers such as Perry Stone. Avoiding such people and churches that hold immoral doctrine is a great, spiritual safety mechanism. An innocent chaste person could end up tempted and deceived, having an illegitimate relationship and lose her ability for a Godly marriage if not careful. God has given his people a way to establish moral fellowships, we are not obligated to be complicit with the false teachings of others. If your minister is failing (lack of intelligence) and done (bloody with immorality), don't send him back into the fight without proof of rehabilitation.

We can develop our own sources and gather with people who want to serve God, not Satan. Maybe Perry should quit teaching (he allegedly already quit once), get a job on a construction site or work with his hands doing something for a while. Many unworthy pastors and ministers have abused the modern church system, who live upon a salary or administration gift, much different than that of the early church leaders. In the mean time, I hope he repents and submits to superior and Godly leadership, and gets his corrupt, soul-destroying divorce and marital theology straightened out.
