Terry, the host, condones the interviewee's fornication-marriage. This is evil and forsakes purity. The interviewee (Christina) explicitly claimed she had been “promiscuous” and had a child by another man before marrying her husband, which was evidently not a biblical marriage but merely an act of legalized fornication. She may have found God later, but He did not give her physical virginity (a biblical requirement for marriage) again. Her only hope of a biblical marriage was with the first man of her promiscuity, who gave her a physical marital deposit by having sex with her as a virgin. After that the other relationships had no hope of being clean and acceptable to God.

We have an example of the word fornication and its expected punishment in the book of Genesis. Tamar, being widowed and expecting to be given another son from Judah, her former father-in-law, suffered injustice from him by not being given his son Shelah to marry and to fulfill the custom (Gn. 38:8) of doing duty to take the wife of his deceased brother. Nevertheless, she became a perpetrator and a victim of an embarrassing sexual affair. Later, it was reported that she played the harlot (committed fornication – zuneta). The report went further as to say she became pregnant with fornication (liznunim). However, a contrary report was mentioned earlier (v.21). Judah, her sexual partner, must have not even taken the veil off her face (v. 16), but when he found out the circumstances he no longer had sex with her (v. 26). Regardless of the trying circumstances of the individuals involved, we can infer the meaning of fornication as it is related to a pregnant woman without a husband.

²⁴ And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.¹

Let's take a look at how this affair may be looked at from a later time and different law era. Men in the first law era were providers as Abraham and multiplied their children through sex with various wives and concubines. Women or wives became as property in both the first and second law era. The man could own or disown (Dt. 24: 1-3) his wife if she was not a dowry bride. Today, in the fulfillment of the law era, our present time of a new covenant with God, both polygamy and incest are not permitted. Nevertheless, there is still a righteous gender bias as to the head of the house and marriage.

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)

So, realizing that Christians are the people of God in modern times, and we have a new covenant with God, we must be able to carry over Biblical principles of the old covenant into our new covenant, in a way that is acceptable to God. The Old Testament gives us guidelines as to what is sinful and how the people of God dealt with situations under the law, and the New Testament confirms or fulfills ways of applying mercy, grace and love of the new covenant – without making the old covenant laws void! (I Tim. 1:8-11).

The levirate custom of taking a deceased brother's wife became law in the second law era. (Dt. 25:5-10). Incest (Lv. 18:6-18) was incriminated earlier in the first law era. Even though Tamar had not married Shelah, she was a former daughter-in-law to Judah through Er (v. 6, 7) and Onan. Perhaps she had remained chaste since her encounter with the second brother. Nevertheless, even though her sexual relationship with her following, illegitimate partner (Judah) was not an act as the fornication it had been reported and thought to be, it had to end, and it did (v. 26).

Even so, today, illegitimate marriage is not permitted. Also, Christians are not under the law as the Hebrews of the second law era (Dt. 25:5-10), wherein a brother-in-law is expected to raise children to his deceased brother. Since levirate law required the tolerance of polygamy, both expired during the time of the early church and the institution of monogamy. The Hebrews became extinct. There is no longer a Hebrew patrilineal gene pool and no one has the Torah-required, Hebrew genealogical register today. However, the firstfruits and our teachers of the new covenant taught the Hebrews of their time and us to be chaste. Jesus Christ himself referred to the purity of the first marriage while reproving the Pharisees (Mt. 19:8). Pure marriage as Adam and Eve worked well in the first law era, the second and the third, the new covenant era.

Now back to the former discussion, the interviewee's legalized-fornication relationship was a fornication-marriage, not a biblical marriage, not established with a covenant that God would accept. Beware of how you choose a covenant. His law (written word) delineates how he accepts marriage. In selfish rebellion and ignorance, the Hagin-ites, Stanley-ites, Copeland-ites, Piper-ites, Falwell-ites and other heretics have perverted their theology if not their marriages. Christina's fornication-marriage should have been annulled right away. Annulment stops a relationship that is not a biblical marriage, it is not a divorce. Fornication and adultery are both mentioned as manifest sins, “works of the flesh”, in Galatians 5: 19: “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,”.

After a couple have sex and complete the physical part of the marriage bond (Ex. 22, Dt. 22) but the female is not accepted by the male or vice versa, then, when the female departs and has sex with another man than the first, it is an act of fornication. This is exactly what the interviewee did. Fornication, in this sense, is different than adultery. She would have had to marry her first man and then divorce and marry another to have committed adultery against him (Mark 10:10-12, Luke 16:18). However, regardless of Christina's own unfinished and suspended circumstances, she did leave him in a condition being unable to reconcile his affair with a virgin (herself at that time).

So, to avoid (I Cor. 7:2) this condemned (Gal. 5:19) predicament, a woman, only with the consent of her father, should marry the first man she sleeps with, whether chosen, seduced or raped (Dt. 22:29) by him. According to the bible, if she doesn't marry him it leaves her in a condition that she can't legitimately marry anyone else. Due to the misdirection of heretics, many of the married women in America, England and the West are deceived by delusion and are really no more clean than a prostitute. Many such women become prostitutes or victims of illegitimate cultural marriages. This seems to be the case with the interviewee; she legally married into fornication and an unclean relationship. Interesting to the subject, Terry (her interviewer) also formerly implied herself as a fornicatress in her video “Christians Committing Adultery- Divorce & Remarriage- Testimony, OSAS, Judgment 4 Left Behind”.

The interviewee had stated previously that she spoke in tongues which she learned at church. This fornication-heretic's testimony proves churches are fallen and promoting fornication-marriage, and other manifestations of sin due to lack of knowledge according to biblical marriage principles. The churches and their members disregard the warning and exhortations of the early church, especially the Apostle Paul. Many of them will promote “revival” recycles decade after decade even when they commit and condone simultaneously their sexual sins.

Not all Old Testament marriages were through betrothal or levirate custom; some were with divorcees (Dt. 24:1-3), which were later reproved by Jesus Christ. Regardless, sex with another man and uncleanness has always been a valid reason for divorce. Pure marriage was instituted in the beginning. However, as time passed the institution became more complex and even tolerated remarriage during the second law era, which later on Jesus Christ reproved. The purity of the institution of marriage has been restored in the last era, the new covenant.

If you learn the first law, second law and the fulfillment of the law (New Testament), you can understand how to bring up children so that they can marry properly. A vow does not make a biblical marriage. Marriage is an institution of God and monogamy is a divine, institution of the church.

What a hypocrite Terry is! What a blind spot as many other unlearned Christians she has! She openly and rightfully condemns adultery and remarriage. However, she condones fornication culture. Evidently, she does not fully understand what fornication is. Thus, she is right on standing against one part of sexual immorality but to the confusion of herself and others, she loves and condones fornication (Galatians 5:19). Her lack of understanding of biblical principles of marriage and fornication may cause her confusion as to determine between the two terms. I will stop at about 18 minutes or so: I can't see spending any more time with this video. The problem is the persons involved don't understand that New Testament marriage concept is built upon chastity (female virginity prerequisite) and purity according to biblical law (I Timothy 1:8-11), not fornication and ignorance. A fornicatress can vow, contract, make covenants (good or bad -- see Isaiah 28:18) and all kinds of things but she cannot change the biblical prerequisites for marriage, given to us by the law (our school teacher) and the reproofs of the Lord Jesus Christ, nor can she obtain an acceptable husband, having been approved by God, if she is not chaste and did not marry her first man she slept with. Her best life is destined to live single for God.

When a person goes into a strange house and it is all dirty and bugs all over unwashed dishes, it is a sign there is something not right. It can be the same when a man meets a woman he doesn't know. If the woman's father does not live by Christian purity rule and is not able to guarantee the chastity of his daugher, the supposed potential groom better be very careful. It was an Old Testament protected right so as a man would not be obligated to marry an unclean woman. If she was found to be defiled and unclean, not being able to bleed (prove virginity) at the marriage bed, the man could rightfully nullify his marriage agreement with her. Christians must learn sanctity.

Notes:

At about 4 minutes, the interviewee said she was "promiscuous". This means she was unchaste when she married and committing fornication! Living in fornication is just as bad as living in remarriage/adultery. Sin is sin, regardless of the form of living in defilement.

@6:20 or so, she gives a “yes” to a man's proposal for marriage after she already had a child with another man: total neglect of the biblical chastity prerequisite for marriage

At 10:36 still no rebuke or reproof? See ya, outta here.

Next day:

@14 to 15 minutes, Terry agrees with interviewee that she is “married”... false! She is living in fornication-marriage as shown at 4 minutes.

The interviewee had stated previously that she spoke in tongues which she learned at church. This testimony proves churches are fallen and promoting fornication-marriage, disregarding the warning and exhortations of the early church, especially Apostle Paul.

@16 min, she gets a divorce. This was righteous whether she knew it or not. She should have never had the fornication-marriage in the first place but she doesn't recognize it as that. Terry, the host, seems to agree with fornication-marriage... what a fool! She does all this talking about divorce and remarriage as a sin in her other videos but doesn't even realize that fornication-marriage is also sin as well.

@18:23 minutes, I can't see spending any more time with this video... the problem is the persons involved don't understand that marriage is built upon chastity and purity, not fornication.
