Matthew 5:28 Jesus said "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." So will that keep one out of Heaven? She was an adultress according to John the Baptist she was also not saved. Her husband had not consented to let her go for one and women back then were not allowed to divorce the man. Now her husband Herod's brother could have divorced her for adultery. They commit adultery with the first act, after that they have become one flesh according to Paul. Herodias however was not divorced and was not put away but had freely committed the act of adultery. No the woman brought to Jesus caught in the very act of Adultery, why did He not say stone her? Instead when it was all over He said, John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. He forgave her sin and said sin no more. So if after they commit the act and become one flesh does it continue to be adultery if they have consented to become husband and wife? Secondly, what about Jacob he worked seven years for Rachel and when he went in unto her he was given Leah and Leah was called his wife, he didn't work for Leah nor agree to marry Leah but the act was committed and she became his wife. Then he worked another seven years for Rachel and she became his wife too, so which one was an adulterous relationship. You see there are way too many examples in the bible that could by our standards be considered adultery and yet multiple marriages were allowed. Throughout scripture we find them. Where and how do you determine which is adultery and where it stops being adultery?And remarriage for divorcees. Do we remember what John The Baptist said unto King Herod who took Herodias his alive brother's wife ?
Pastors are nothing, but lying whores.
So then you see Rebecca and Isaac as committing an act of Fornication? There was no ceremony no formal marriage agreement. Yes a dowry was left but scripture states Genesis 24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; When and how did she become HIS WIFE? After he took her right?
Was the act fornication or adultery? yet no ceremony took place but she consented to be his wife and he took her for his wife.
Next we see Abraham, is Abraham in heaven or in Hell today? Christ spoke of Lazerus in the bosom of Abraham and that the rich man from Torments spoke across the great gulf fixed between the two. So Abraham is in Heaven and with God yet we have the illicit act of him going into Hagar and having Ishmael, so did he commit adultery with Hagar?
Genesis states that Abraham had Concubines, and had sons by those concubines, Genesis 25 was that adultery or a marriage? Yet Abraham is in Heaven and will spend eternity with God.
Hmm, is True Puritan friends with Steve Drain, or is he Steve Drain?
...and such were some of you but, but you were washed,...
How can Jesus forgive, if a rebel who asks for forgiveness, but continues in his or her sin and attempts to justify it by perverting the Scriptures ? To repent doesn't mean just to ask God to forgive you for sin on which God caught you. To repent means to turn away from sin in which you dwell in and start new life. Many people reject Christ's demands to live holy lives, many walk the broad road that leads to Hell. Unless you repent, you will likewise perish. Luke 13:3....and such were some of you but, but you were washed,...

Unrepentant sinners are nobody but goats or wolves in sheep uniforms. In one word - hypocrites bound for place called Hell. God always parts repented sinners who fear Him from repentant sinners who are proud in their sins and rejecting His Word.Goats will be goats. Are you trying to herd goats?
Christ has never demanded goats to do this. No sheep does the above.
You're preaching to the choir. The goats are saying 'Naaaaaaaa!'
So you're not a goat herder. That's good, it looked like you were on here herding them to change them into sheep. Many of us on here may have differing views on things but that doesn't mean this place is a goat haven, and even if there are goats here your preaching to them won't change one thing.Unrepentant sinners are nobody but goats or wolves in sheep uniforms. In one word - hypocrites bound for place called Hell. God always parts repented sinners who fear Him from repentant sinners who are proud in their sins and rejecting His Word.
Many people who claimed to be Christians will not enter Heaven, because they ignore God's demands in the Bible.

Was King David a goat too, and consequently suffering now in hell?Today too many so-called Christians are getting stumbled on Matthew 19:9, unaware that God doesn't allow remarriage in case of divorce. Mark 10:11-12, Luke 16:18, Hebrews 13:4, James 4:1-10, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 warn us a lot dealing with lives in adulterous unions.
If this innocent party woman dares to remarry, while her guilty party husband lives, she will become same adulteress likewise her guilty husband. Mark 10:11-12. Luke 16:18. They both will be damned to Hell, even they might profess Jesus as God. Hebrews 13:4. To avoid going to Hell, she must stay single and obey God. God demands us to be holy and not happy. Jesus demands Narrow Way that is enduring and persevere !So a woman has an ex husband who cheated on her numerous times and finally left her for another woman, divorcing her and remarrying. This woman then remarries as well and she and her husband are saved. Just how does she "turn away from sin" in this case?
King David repented at his lifetime.Was King David a goat too, and consequently suffering now in hell?
