00:31:11.740 --> 00:31:14.700
In<00:31:12.140><c> those</c><00:31:12.460><c> second</c><00:31:12.839><c> set</c><00:31:13.059><c> of</c><00:31:13.279><c> words,</c><00:31:13.500><c> incidentally,</c><00:31:14.180><c> you</c><00:31:14.359><c> find</c>

00:31:14.700 --> 00:31:16.480
the<00:31:15.140><c> real</c><00:31:15.519><c> basis</c><00:31:15.859><c> for</c><00:31:16.140><c> believing</c>

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:19.420
that<00:31:16.700><c> God</c><00:31:17.180><c> not</c><00:31:17.539><c> only</c><00:31:17.819><c> did</c><00:31:18.099><c> not</c><00:31:18.299><c> want</c><00:31:18.519><c> people</c><00:31:18.819><c> to</c><00:31:19.059><c> break</c><00:31:19.240><c> up</c>

their<00:31:19.619><c> marriages,</c>

00:31:20.059 --> 00:31:22.299

00:31:22.299 --> 00:31:26.059
for<00:31:23.000><c> they</c><00:31:23.400><c> too</c><00:31:23.619><c> shall</c><00:31:23.799><c> be</c><00:31:23.940><c> one</c><00:31:24.220><c> flesh,</c><00:31:24.960><c> as</c><00:31:25.079><c> the</c><00:31:25.220><c> Lord</c><00:31:25.380><c> quotes</c><00:31:25.740><c> it.</c>

00:31:26.180 --> 00:31:28.680
He<00:31:26.240><c> speaks</c><00:31:26.359><c> of</c><00:31:26.519><c> two</c><00:31:26.779><c> and</c><00:31:26.920><c> not</c><00:31:27.140><c> three</c><00:31:27.440><c> or</c><00:31:27.559><c> four</c><00:31:27.920><c> or</c><00:31:28.140><c> more.</c>

00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:31.920
So<00:31:29.319><c> that</c><00:31:29.500><c> the</c><00:31:29.759><c> ideal</c><00:31:30.059><c> of</c><00:31:30.299><c> the</c><00:31:30.500><c> beginning</c><00:31:30.859><c> was</c><00:31:31.420><c> that</c><00:31:31.680><c> marriage</c>

00:31:33.259 --> 00:31:36.259
and<00:31:33.339><c> that</c><00:31:33.579><c> marriage</c><00:31:33.779><c> should</c><00:31:34.059><c> be</c><00:31:34.420><c> between</c><00:31:34.799><c> one</c><00:31:35.079><c> and</c><00:31:35.339><c> one,</c><00:31:36.000><c> one</c>

00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:39.880
That<00:31:37.460><c> was</c><00:31:37.700><c> how</c><00:31:37.920><c> God</c><00:31:38.160><c> wanted</c><00:31:38.539><c> it</c><00:31:38.799><c> to</c><00:31:39.039><c> be.</c>

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:43.640
So<00:31:41.460><c> then</c><00:31:41.720><c> the</c><00:31:41.799><c> answer</c><00:31:42.079><c> of</c><00:31:42.259><c> the</c><00:31:42.359><c> Lord</c><00:31:42.519><c> Jesus</c><00:31:42.859><c> Christ</c><00:31:43.200><c> to</c><00:31:43.380><c> this</c>

00:31:48.940 --> 00:31:51.640
and<00:31:49.140><c> some</c><00:31:49.259><c> of</c><00:31:49.380><c> whom</c><00:31:49.460><c> wanted</c><00:31:49.740><c> a</c><00:31:50.279><c> stern</c><00:31:50.500><c> answer</c><00:31:50.700><c> was,</c><00:31:51.400><c> You're</c>

00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:52.859
both<00:31:51.940><c> wrong.</c>

00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:57.039
God<00:31:53.220><c> doesn't</c><00:31:53.519><c> want</c><00:31:53.799><c> divorce</c><00:31:54.799><c> and</c><00:31:56.140><c> remarriage</c><00:31:56.460><c> to</c><00:31:56.660><c> take</c><00:31:56.839><c> place</c>

00:31:57.039 --> 00:31:57.559
at<00:31:57.299><c> all.</c>

00:31:57.819 --> 00:32:00.460
He<00:31:57.980><c> wants</c><00:31:58.319><c> married</c><00:31:58.640><c> partners</c><00:31:59.039><c> to</c><00:31:59.339><c> stay</c><00:31:59.480><c> together</c><00:31:59.859><c> for</c><00:32:00.039><c> the</c><00:32:00.160><c> rest</c><00:32:00.319><c> of</c>

00:32:00.460 --> 00:32:01.940
their<00:32:00.599><c> common</c><00:32:00.880><c> lives.</c>

00:32:03.059 --> 00:32:04.920
So<00:32:03.279><c> that's</c><00:32:03.599><c> quite</c><00:32:03.960><c> clear</c><00:32:04.180><c> and</c><00:32:04.480><c> plain,</c><00:32:04.720><c> isn't</c><00:32:04.799><c> it?</c>

00:32:05.059 --> 00:32:06.619
And<00:32:05.200><c> no</c><00:32:05.420><c> exceptions</c><00:32:05.799><c> are</c><00:32:06.099><c> provided</c><00:32:06.339><c> for.</c>

00:32:06.859 --> 00:32:10.480
Everything<00:32:07.200><c> in</c><00:32:07.539><c> Mark</c><00:32:07.740><c> says</c><00:32:08.200><c> that</c><00:32:09.180><c> the</c><00:32:09.599><c> straight</c><00:32:09.880><c> line</c><00:32:10.200><c> is,</c>

00:32:10.579 --> 00:32:13.039
Don't<00:32:11.019><c> divorce</c><00:32:11.400><c> and</c><00:32:11.700><c> don't</c><00:32:12.079><c> remarry.</c>

00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:15.640
Right,<00:32:13.819><c> now</c><00:32:14.000><c> we</c><00:32:14.160><c> take</c><00:32:14.319><c> Matthew</c><00:32:14.619><c> chapter</c><00:32:14.859><c> 19.</c>

00:32:22.259 --> 00:32:24.539
We<00:32:22.700><c> won't</c><00:32:22.960><c> need</c><00:32:23.160><c> to</c><00:32:23.279><c> read</c><00:32:23.400><c> the</c><00:32:23.579><c> whole</c><00:32:23.740><c> of</c><00:32:23.920><c> this</c><00:32:24.039><c> because</c><00:32:24.259><c> we've</c>

00:32:24.539 --> 00:32:27.579
got<00:32:24.680><c> most</c><00:32:24.960><c> of</c><00:32:25.140><c> it</c><00:32:25.640><c> in</c><00:32:25.779><c> the</c><00:32:26.000><c> Mark</c><00:32:26.180><c> record.</c>

00:32:28.380 --> 00:32:30.519
But<00:32:28.519><c> what</c><00:32:28.640><c> we'll</c><00:32:28.920><c> notice</c><00:32:29.180><c> first</c><00:32:29.519><c> of</c><00:32:29.759><c> all,</c>

00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:44.380
Whosoever<00:32:41.680><c> shall</c><00:32:41.819><c> put</c><00:32:42.019><c> away</c><00:32:42.220><c> his</c><00:32:42.460><c> wife,</c><00:32:42.960><c> except</c><00:32:43.420><c> for</c><00:32:43.680><c> fornication,</c>

Matthew<00:35:52.639><c> 19,</c>

guilt,<00:36:13.019><c> divorce</c><00:36:13.280><c> your</c><00:36:13.519><c> partner.</c>

00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:20.599
And<00:36:16.320><c> that</c><00:36:16.519><c> ground,</c><00:36:17.340><c> if</c><00:36:17.639><c> we</c><00:36:18.019><c> accept</c><00:36:18.559><c> that,</c><00:36:18.960><c> is</c><00:36:19.519><c> adultery.</c>

00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:23.599
In<00:36:21.679><c> other</c><00:36:21.820><c> words,</c><00:36:21.960><c> if</c><00:36:22.119><c> you</c><00:36:22.219><c> find</c><00:36:22.559><c> your</c><00:36:22.800><c> wife</c><00:36:23.039><c> is</c><00:36:23.300><c> unfaithful,</c>

00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:26.800
and<00:36:24.260><c> it's</c><00:36:25.340><c> usually</c><00:36:25.539><c> read</c><00:36:25.739><c> the</c><00:36:25.880><c> other</c><00:36:26.019><c> way</c><00:36:26.159><c> around</c><00:36:26.380><c> as</c><00:36:26.599><c> well.</c>

00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:30.840
She<00:36:27.019><c> finds</c><00:36:27.340><c> that</c><00:36:27.559><c> her</c><00:36:27.659><c> husband</c><00:36:27.900><c> is</c><00:36:28.179><c> unfaithful,</c><00:36:29.139><c> but</c><00:36:29.199><c> the</c><00:36:29.280><c> Lord</c><00:36:29.400><c> doesn't</c><00:36:29.619><c> actually</c><00:36:30.079><c> say</c><00:36:30.360><c> that.</c>

00:36:31.300 --> 00:36:33.179
Let's<00:36:31.659><c> assume</c><00:36:31.900><c> that</c><00:36:32.219><c> too.</c>

00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:35.780
If<00:36:33.559><c> you</c><00:36:33.739><c> find</c><00:36:33.880><c> that</c><00:36:34.099><c> your</c><00:36:34.400><c> partner</c><00:36:34.679><c> is</c><00:36:34.940><c> unfaithful,</c>

00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:39.360
then<00:36:36.219><c> you</c><00:36:36.440><c> may</c><00:36:36.719><c> legitimately</c><00:36:37.280><c> divorce</c><00:36:37.900><c> yourself</c><00:36:38.420><c> from</c><00:36:38.699><c> that</c><00:36:39.039><c> partner</c>

00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:42.340
and<00:36:39.739><c> marry</c><00:36:39.920><c> or</c><00:36:40.139><c> be</c><00:36:40.320><c> married</c><00:36:40.579><c> again,</c><00:36:41.019><c> and</c><00:36:41.500><c> you</c><00:36:41.699><c> will</c><00:36:41.940><c> not</c><00:36:42.099><c> be</c>

00:36:42.340 --> 00:36:44.000
condemned<00:36:42.659><c> for</c><00:36:42.920><c> it.</c>

00:36:44.739 --> 00:36:47.860
That's<00:36:45.260><c> what</c><00:36:45.619><c> the</c><00:36:45.920><c> usual</c><00:36:46.239><c> statement</c><00:36:46.719><c> is.</c>

00:36:48.760 --> 00:36:50.800
It<00:36:49.159><c> has</c><00:36:49.400><c> sometimes</c><00:36:49.659><c> been</c><00:36:49.940><c> expressed</c><00:36:50.239><c> in</c><00:36:50.460><c> this</c><00:36:50.639><c> way.</c>

00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:53.300
I'm<00:36:50.960><c> almost</c><00:36:51.380><c> quoting</c><00:36:51.860><c> something</c><00:36:52.280><c> now.</c>

00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:57.440
This<00:36:54.280><c> crude</c><00:36:54.880><c> and</c><00:36:55.099><c> wicked</c><00:36:55.420><c> act,</c><00:36:56.039><c> meaning</c><00:36:56.360><c> adultery,</c>

00:36:58.059 --> 00:37:01.480
dissolves<00:36:58.480><c> the</c><00:36:58.679><c> marriage</c><00:36:59.000><c> bond.</c><00:36:59.599><c> It</c><00:36:59.760><c> no</c><00:37:00.019><c> longer</c><00:37:00.360><c> exists.</c>

00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:04.699
I<00:37:02.300><c> could</c><00:37:02.480><c> even</c><00:37:02.659><c> give</c><00:37:02.760><c> you</c><00:37:02.880><c> the</c><00:37:03.019><c> reference</c><00:37:03.260><c> for</c><00:37:03.460><c> that,</c><00:37:03.579><c> but</c><00:37:03.699><c> I</c><00:37:03.820><c> won't.</c>

00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:07.260
Anyway,<00:37:05.260><c> that</c><00:37:05.480><c> statement</c><00:37:05.780><c> has</c><00:37:05.980><c> been</c><00:37:06.320><c> made.</c>

00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:10.719
Now,<00:37:07.739><c> let's</c><00:37:07.920><c> assume</c><00:37:08.199><c> for</c><00:37:08.360><c> the</c><00:37:08.539><c> moment</c><00:37:09.079><c> that</c><00:37:10.079><c> that</c><00:37:10.420><c> statement</c>

00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:11.920
is<00:37:11.000><c> right.</c>

00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:16.800
If<00:37:12.940><c> it</c><00:37:13.199><c> were</c><00:37:13.440><c> right,</c><00:37:13.820><c> it</c><00:37:13.860><c> would</c><00:37:14.079><c> mean</c><00:37:14.360><c> not</c><00:37:14.900><c> just</c><00:37:15.159><c> that</c><00:37:15.400><c> adultery</c><00:37:15.960><c> can</c><00:37:16.539><c> be</c>

00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:17.860
a<00:37:16.980><c> reason</c><00:37:17.179><c> for</c><00:37:17.420><c> divorce.</c>

00:37:17.860 --> 00:37:24.519
It<00:37:18.280><c> would</c><00:37:19.460><c> mean</c><00:37:19.619><c> that</c><00:37:19.900><c> adultery</c><00:37:20.099><c> must</c><00:37:20.420><c> be</c><00:37:22.099><c> a</c><00:37:22.480><c> ground</c><00:37:22.579><c> you</c><00:37:22.679><c> can't</c><00:37:22.940><c> avoid</c><00:37:23.420><c> for</c><00:37:23.659><c> divorce.</c>

00:37:25.099 --> 00:37:26.559
Because<00:37:25.179><c> if</c><00:37:25.340><c> it</c><00:37:25.480><c> dissolves</c><00:37:25.800><c> the</c><00:37:25.980><c> marriage</c><00:37:26.199><c> bond,</c><00:37:26.420><c> it</c><00:37:26.440><c> no</c>

00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:27.099
longer<00:37:26.800><c> exists,</c>

00:37:27.139 --> 00:37:29.940
then<00:37:27.260><c> you're</c><00:37:27.420><c> no</c><00:37:27.559><c> longer</c><00:37:27.739><c> married,</c><00:37:28.440><c> and</c><00:37:28.619><c> so</c><00:37:29.199><c> there</c><00:37:29.619><c> you</c><00:37:29.840><c> are,</c>

00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:31.420
the<00:37:30.099><c> marriage</c><00:37:30.260><c> is</c><00:37:30.480><c> gone.</c>

00:37:32.099 --> 00:37:33.920
And<00:37:32.199><c> the</c><00:37:32.300><c> Lord</c><00:37:32.380><c> isn't</c><00:37:32.619><c> saying</c><00:37:32.900><c> that.</c>

00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:36.119

that<00:37:39.119><c> act.</c>

00:37:40.019 --> 00:37:43.099
He<00:37:40.159><c> only</c><00:37:40.360><c> says</c><00:37:40.440><c> if</c><00:37:40.599><c> you</c><00:37:40.880><c> do</c><00:37:41.019><c> it</c><00:37:41.099><c> for</c><00:37:41.260><c> any</c><00:37:41.559><c> other</c><00:37:41.780><c> reason</c><00:37:42.360><c> than</c>

the<00:37:43.219><c> one</c><00:37:43.280><c> he's</c><00:37:43.440><c> thinking</c><00:37:43.719><c> about,</c>

00:37:44.099 --> 00:37:49.780

00:37:51.179 --> 00:37:54.460

00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:59.340
The<00:37:56.860><c> Lord</c><00:37:56.980><c> is</c><00:37:57.119><c> not</c><00:37:57.400><c> saying</c><00:37:57.579><c> it</c><00:37:57.739><c> would</c><00:37:57.940><c> be</c><00:37:58.159><c> impossible</c><00:37:58.539><c> to</c><00:37:58.820><c> forgive</c><00:37:59.119><c> an</c>

00:38:01.300 --> 00:38:03.420

00:38:03.579 --> 00:38:07.079
He's<00:38:03.840><c> saying</c><00:38:04.139><c> that</c><00:38:04.639><c> whatever</c><00:38:04.980><c> is</c><00:38:05.199><c> the</c><00:38:05.320><c> meaning</c><00:38:05.460><c> of</c><00:38:05.679><c> this</c><00:38:05.860><c> word</c><00:38:06.139><c> fornication,</c>

00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:10.039
that's<00:38:07.840><c> the</c><00:38:08.019><c> only</c><00:38:08.280><c> reason</c><00:38:08.559><c> that</c><00:38:08.739><c> can</c><00:38:08.960><c> justify</c><00:38:09.420><c> the</c><00:38:09.679><c> breakdown</c>

00:38:14.139 --> 00:38:17.159
However,<00:38:14.900><c> let's</c><00:38:15.000><c> assume</c><00:38:15.360><c> that</c><00:38:15.519><c> he</c><00:38:15.559><c> is</c><00:38:15.800><c> talking</c><00:38:16.139><c> about</c><00:38:16.460><c> adultery.</c>

They<00:39:42.159><c> must</c><00:39:42.340><c> have</c><00:39:42.480><c> had</c><00:39:42.539><c> some</c><00:39:42.800><c> other</c><00:39:43.000><c> idea</c><00:39:43.280><c> as</c><00:39:43.480><c> to</c><00:39:43.500><c> what</c><00:39:43.639><c> he</c><00:39:43.820><c> meant.</c>

00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:47.920
Now<00:39:46.519><c> the</c><00:39:46.559><c> question</c><00:39:46.960><c> is,</c><00:39:47.159><c> on</c><00:39:47.199><c> which</c><00:39:47.320><c> I</c><00:39:47.440><c> don't</c><00:39:47.559><c> want</c><00:39:47.679><c> to</c><00:39:47.780><c> take</c><00:39:47.860><c> a</c>

00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:50.639
what<00:39:49.039><c> might</c><00:39:49.300><c> it</c><00:39:49.460><c> have</c><00:39:49.719><c> been?</c>

00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:55.179
Now<00:39:52.639><c> you</c><00:39:52.739><c> notice</c><00:39:52.980><c> the</c><00:39:53.159><c> Lord</c><00:39:53.280><c> is</c><00:39:53.500><c> using</c><00:39:53.760><c> two</c><00:39:54.079><c> words.</c>

00:39:55.719 --> 00:40:00.679
One<00:39:55.960><c> is</c><00:39:56.219><c> fornication,</c><00:39:58.760><c> and</c><00:39:58.900><c> the</c><00:39:59.059><c> other</c><00:39:59.260><c> is</c><00:39:59.480><c> adultery.</c>

00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:05.559
Now<00:40:02.079><c> they're</c><00:40:02.360><c> both</c><00:40:02.579><c> concerned</c><00:40:03.159><c> with</c><00:40:03.739><c> sexual</c><00:40:04.280><c> sins,</c>

00:40:06.699 --> 00:40:10.179
and<00:40:07.219><c> the</c><00:40:07.739><c> fornication</c><00:40:08.440><c> word</c><00:40:08.639><c> is</c><00:40:08.840><c> a</c><00:40:08.980><c> much</c><00:40:09.280><c> wider</c><00:40:09.659><c> word</c><00:40:10.000><c> than</c>

00:40:10.179 --> 00:40:11.539
the<00:40:10.260><c> word</c><00:40:10.500><c> adultery.</c>

00:40:12.460 --> 00:40:17.820
It<00:40:12.559><c> can</c><00:40:12.780><c> include</c><00:40:13.079><c> any</c><00:40:13.460><c> kind</c><00:40:13.840><c> of</c><00:40:14.099><c> sexual</c><00:40:14.440><c> aberration,</c><00:40:15.900><c> including</c><00:40:16.119><c> homosexual</c><00:40:16.780><c> ones.</c>

00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:22.300
But<00:40:20.000><c> in</c><00:40:20.219><c> this</c><00:40:20.400><c> particular</c><00:40:20.940><c> setting,</c><00:40:21.340><c> I</c><00:40:21.340><c> think</c><00:40:21.460><c> one</c><00:40:21.619><c> has</c><00:40:21.820><c> to</c><00:40:22.000><c> say,</c>

00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:24.480
the<00:40:22.699><c> Lord</c><00:40:22.840><c> wouldn't</c><00:40:23.099><c> have</c><00:40:23.320><c> used</c><00:40:23.539><c> two</c><00:40:23.800><c> words</c><00:40:23.980><c> if</c><00:40:24.139><c> one</c><00:40:24.320><c> would</c>

00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:25.679
have<00:40:24.559><c> been</c><00:40:24.760><c> enough.</c>

00:40:26.579 --> 00:40:29.320
And<00:40:26.980><c> if</c><00:40:27.059><c> he</c><00:40:27.199><c> had</c><00:40:27.320><c> been</c><00:40:27.559><c> talking</c><00:40:27.920><c> about</c><00:40:28.320><c> adultery</c><00:40:28.679><c> by</c><00:40:28.900><c> the</c><00:40:29.079><c> wife,</c><00:40:29.320><c> he</c>

00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:31.579
and<00:40:30.199><c> it</c><00:40:30.280><c> would</c><00:40:30.420><c> have</c><00:40:30.519><c> been</c><00:40:30.639><c> perfectly</c><00:40:31.079><c> plain.</c>

00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:35.239
Whosoever<00:40:32.440><c> shall</c><00:40:32.619><c> put</c><00:40:32.820><c> away</c><00:40:33.019><c> his</c><00:40:33.280><c> wife</c><00:40:33.519><c> unless</c><00:40:34.179><c> she</c><00:40:34.440><c> commits</c><00:40:34.699><c> adultery,</c>

00:40:35.539 --> 00:40:37.780
and<00:40:35.719><c> marry</c><00:40:35.960><c> another,</c><00:40:36.360><c> then</c><00:40:36.579><c> he</c><00:40:36.760><c> makes</c><00:40:37.039><c> her</c><00:40:37.219><c> commit</c><00:40:37.380><c> adultery,</c>

00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:39.119

00:40:39.380 --> 00:40:40.940
It<00:40:39.440><c> would</c><00:40:39.500><c> have</c><00:40:39.639><c> been</c><00:40:39.719><c> quite</c><00:40:40.019><c> plain,</c><00:40:40.260><c> and</c><00:40:40.300><c> we</c><00:40:40.400><c> would</c><00:40:40.539><c> have</c><00:40:40.639><c> been</c><00:40:40.739><c> in</c>

00:40:40.940 --> 00:40:41.239
no<00:40:41.099><c> doubt,</c>

00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:42.619
and<00:40:41.360><c> he</c><00:40:41.440><c> doesn't</c><00:40:41.679><c> do</c><00:40:41.860><c> it.</c>

00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:46.619
And<00:40:44.440><c> I</c><00:40:44.679><c> suggest</c><00:40:45.079><c> to</c><00:40:45.219><c> you</c><00:40:45.340><c> that</c><00:40:45.480><c> there's</c><00:40:45.679><c> good</c><00:40:45.920><c> reason</c><00:40:46.179><c> to</c><00:40:46.420><c> think</c>

00:40:46.619 --> 00:40:48.840
that<00:40:46.739><c> when</c><00:40:47.019><c> two</c><00:40:47.219><c> words</c><00:40:47.420><c> are</c><00:40:47.659><c> used</c><00:40:47.800><c> in</c><00:40:47.960><c> the</c><00:40:48.139><c> same</c><00:40:48.340><c> context,</c>

00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:51.219

00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:54.900
When<00:40:52.260><c> the</c><00:40:52.420><c> Lord</c><00:40:52.599><c> says,</c><00:40:52.860><c> for</c><00:40:53.039><c> example,</c><00:40:53.460><c> in</c><00:40:53.579><c> Mark</c><00:40:54.099><c> chapter</c><00:40:54.559><c> 7,</c>

for<00:40:55.719><c> out</c><00:40:55.960><c> of</c><00:40:56.239><c> the</c><00:40:56.719><c> heart</c><00:40:56.980><c> of</c><00:40:57.199><c> man,</c><00:40:57.400><c> evil</c><00:40:57.659><c> thoughts</c><00:40:58.099><c> proceed,</c>

00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:01.199
fornication,<00:40:59.800><c> adultery,</c><00:41:00.380><c> and</c><00:41:00.380><c> various</c><00:41:00.699><c> other</c><00:41:00.940><c> things,</c>

00:41:01.539 --> 00:41:03.840
he<00:41:01.639><c> doesn't</c><00:41:01.880><c> mean</c><00:41:02.059><c> the</c><00:41:02.260><c> same</c><00:41:02.440><c> thing</c><00:41:02.619><c> by</c><00:41:02.820><c> those</c><00:41:03.099><c> two.</c>

00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:08.519
When<00:41:05.639><c> the</c><00:41:05.800><c> letters</c><00:41:05.960><c> of</c><00:41:06.139><c> the</c><00:41:06.239><c> Hebrews</c><00:41:06.440><c> says,</c><00:41:07.039><c> fornicators</c><00:41:07.719><c> and</c><00:41:08.000><c> adulterers,</c>

00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:10.599
God<00:41:08.760><c> will</c><00:41:09.019><c> judge,</c><00:41:09.400><c> it</c><00:41:09.460><c> doesn't</c><00:41:09.719><c> mean</c><00:41:09.880><c> the</c><00:41:10.019><c> same</c><00:41:10.179><c> thing</c><00:41:10.340><c> by</c>

those<00:41:10.860><c> two.</c>

00:41:12.699 --> 00:41:15.880
When<00:41:12.920><c> Galatians</c><00:41:13.320><c> 5</c><00:41:13.619><c> reads,</c><00:41:14.199><c> the</c><00:41:14.300><c> works</c><00:41:14.559><c> of</c><00:41:14.739><c> the</c><00:41:14.900><c> flesh</c><00:41:15.159><c> are</c><00:41:15.480><c> manifest,</c>

which<00:41:16.099><c> are</c><00:41:16.420><c> these,</c><00:41:17.059><c> fornication,</c><00:41:17.860><c> adultery,</c><00:41:18.300><c> and</c><00:41:18.380><c> a</c><00:41:18.460><c> lot</c><00:41:18.619><c> more.</c>

00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:22.440

00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:25.940
So<00:41:23.360><c> whereas</c><00:41:23.699><c> the</c><00:41:24.000><c> former</c><00:41:24.219><c> word</c><00:41:24.500><c> used</c><00:41:24.699><c> by</c><00:41:25.019><c> itself</c><00:41:25.360><c> could</c><00:41:25.579><c> include</c><00:41:25.820><c> a</c>

whole<00:41:26.159><c> lot,</c>

00:41:27.500 --> 00:41:28.239
when<00:41:27.619><c> they're</c><00:41:27.820><c> used</c><00:41:27.840><c> together,</c>

00:41:28.340 --> 00:41:30.860
one<00:41:28.400><c> suggests</c><00:41:28.699><c> they</c><00:41:28.860><c> might</c><00:41:29.059><c> mean</c><00:41:29.280><c> different</c><00:41:29.659><c> things.</c>

00:41:32.900 --> 00:41:36.280
Now,<00:41:33.219><c> a</c><00:41:33.420><c> little</c><00:41:33.780><c> story</c><00:41:34.059><c> as</c><00:41:34.280><c> to</c><00:41:34.320><c> what</c><00:41:34.940><c> nearly</c><00:41:35.500><c> happened</c><00:41:35.920><c> in</c><00:41:36.099><c> New</c>

Testament<00:41:36.699><c> times.</c>

00:41:39.420 --> 00:41:40.920
A<00:41:39.500><c> man</c><00:41:39.599><c> was</c><00:41:39.840><c> engaged</c><00:41:40.280><c> to</c><00:41:40.519><c> a</c><00:41:40.639><c> woman,</c>

00:41:41.300 --> 00:41:43.039
and<00:41:41.400><c> he</c><00:41:41.599><c> thought</c><00:41:41.739><c> he</c><00:41:41.940><c> found</c><00:41:42.059><c> she'd</c><00:41:42.340><c> been</c><00:41:42.500><c> unfaithful,</c>

00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:45.019
because<00:41:43.280><c> she</c><00:41:43.420><c> was</c><00:41:43.619><c> going</c><00:41:43.739><c> to</c><00:41:43.840><c> have</c><00:41:44.000><c> a</c><00:41:44.139><c> child.</c>

00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:48.079
And<00:41:46.639><c> he</c><00:41:46.659><c> didn't</c><00:41:46.880><c> want</c><00:41:47.039><c> to</c><00:41:47.179><c> create</c><00:41:47.320><c> a</c><00:41:47.480><c> public</c><00:41:47.780><c> fuss,</c>

00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:51.420
so<00:41:48.300><c> he</c><00:41:48.500><c> decided</c><00:41:49.000><c> he</c><00:41:49.659><c> would</c><00:41:49.760><c> put</c><00:41:49.920><c> her</c><00:41:50.099><c> away</c><00:41:50.340><c> privately.</c>

00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:55.719
Now,<00:41:53.760><c> there</c><00:41:54.039><c> it</c><00:41:54.139><c> seems</c><00:41:54.380><c> to</c><00:41:54.519><c> me</c><00:41:54.579><c> you</c><00:41:54.679><c> have</c><00:41:54.860><c> the</c><00:41:55.039><c> kind</c><00:41:55.199><c> of</c><00:41:55.380><c> situation</c>

00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:25.519
You<00:42:22.880><c> know</c><00:42:23.039><c> what</c><00:42:23.159><c> I</c><00:42:23.280><c> was</c><00:42:23.400><c> talking</c><00:42:23.659><c> about,</c><00:42:23.920><c> it</c><00:42:23.960><c> was</c><00:42:24.139><c> Joseph</c><00:42:24.440><c> and</c><00:42:24.599><c> Mary.</c>

00:42:26.380 --> 00:42:29.420
Because<00:42:26.579><c> that</c><00:42:26.739><c> was</c><00:42:26.900><c> what</c><00:42:27.019><c> Joseph</c><00:42:27.420><c> thought</c><00:42:27.739><c> he'd</c><00:42:28.079><c> found</c><00:42:28.300><c> in</c><00:42:28.559><c> Mary,</c>

00:42:29.699 --> 00:42:32.260
and<00:42:29.880><c> he</c><00:42:29.960><c> was</c><00:42:30.179><c> going</c><00:42:30.360><c> to</c><00:42:30.519><c> put</c><00:42:30.639><c> her</c><00:42:30.800><c> away</c><00:42:31.199><c> privately.</c>

00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:34.840
And<00:42:32.860><c> the</c><00:42:32.980><c> words</c><00:42:33.219><c> were</c><00:42:33.860><c> of</c><00:42:34.039><c> the</c><00:42:34.179><c> angel</c><00:42:34.400><c> to</c><00:42:34.539><c> him,</c>

00:42:34.940 --> 00:42:38.579
Joseph,<00:42:35.599><c> fear</c><00:42:35.920><c> not</c><00:42:36.199><c> to</c><00:42:36.440><c> take</c><00:42:36.619><c> unto</c><00:42:36.820><c> thee</c><00:42:37.039><c> Mary</c><00:42:37.380><c> thy</c><00:42:37.639><c> wife.</c>

00:42:38.820 --> 00:42:41.219
So<00:42:39.099><c> she,</c><00:42:39.480><c> although</c><00:42:39.699><c> betrothed,</c><00:42:40.260><c> was</c><00:42:40.500><c> called</c><00:42:40.760><c> his</c><00:42:40.980><c> wife,</c>

00:42:41.260 --> 00:42:43.099

00:42:44.019 --> 00:42:47.679
Now,<00:42:44.579><c> to</c><00:42:44.739><c> me</c><00:42:44.940><c> it</c><00:42:45.059><c> makes</c><00:42:45.179><c> very</c><00:42:45.440><c> good</c><00:42:45.679><c> sense</c><00:42:46.000><c> if</c><00:42:46.199><c> the</c><00:42:46.320><c> Lord</c><00:42:46.480><c> is</c><00:42:46.719><c> saying</c>

00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:50.460
if<00:42:48.300><c> you</c><00:42:48.619><c> are</c><00:42:48.960><c> intending</c><00:42:49.480><c> to</c><00:42:49.760><c> marry</c><00:42:50.000><c> a</c><00:42:50.199><c> person</c>

00:42:50.460 --> 00:42:53.099
and<00:42:50.639><c> you</c><00:42:50.840><c> find</c><00:42:51.159><c> that</c><00:42:51.340><c> she</c><00:42:51.500><c> is</c><00:42:51.719><c> not</c><00:42:52.000><c> faithful</c><00:42:52.320><c> to</c><00:42:52.519><c> her</c><00:42:52.739><c> promise,</c>

00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:56.130
then<00:42:53.960><c> before</c><00:42:54.340><c> it</c><00:42:54.519><c> happens</c><00:42:54.820><c> you</c><00:42:54.920><c> may</c><00:42:55.059><c> put</c><00:42:55.219><c> her</c><00:42:55.400><c> away.</c>

00:42:57.300 --> 00:42:59.099
But<00:42:57.500><c> afterwards</c><00:42:57.780><c> you</c><00:42:57.900><c> shouldn't.</c>

00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:02.539
Now,<00:43:00.320><c> that's</c><00:43:00.500><c> what</c><00:43:00.619><c> I</c><00:43:00.880><c> think</c><00:43:01.039><c> about</c><00:43:01.320><c> those</c><00:43:01.579><c> words.</c>

00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:05.840
In<00:43:03.659><c> other</c><00:43:03.820><c> words,</c><00:43:03.960><c> I'm</c><00:43:04.239><c> about</c><00:43:04.480><c> as</c><00:43:04.719><c> severe</c><00:43:04.960><c> as</c><00:43:05.159><c> a</c><00:43:05.260><c> man</c><00:43:05.380><c> can</c><00:43:05.659><c> be</c>

00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:10.940
Not<00:43:09.300><c> quite</c><00:43:09.639><c> so</c><00:43:09.880><c> bad</c><00:43:09.960><c> when</c><00:43:10.079><c> he</c><00:43:10.199><c> gets</c><00:43:10.380><c> an</c><00:43:10.539><c> army</c><00:43:10.699><c> battalion,</c>

00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:15.599

00:43:15.820 --> 00:43:20.199
That<00:43:15.980><c> is,</c><00:43:16.519><c> that</c><00:43:16.760><c> the</c><00:43:16.880><c> Lord</c><00:43:17.059><c> is</c><00:43:17.320><c> not</c><00:43:17.659><c> making</c><00:43:18.039><c> any</c><00:43:18.500><c> concessions</c><00:43:18.960><c> whatsoever</c>

00:43:23.340 --> 00:43:25.380
I<00:43:23.480><c> think</c><00:43:23.619><c> he</c><00:43:23.800><c> is</c><00:43:23.940><c> saying</c><00:43:24.179><c> you</c><00:43:24.420><c> ought,</c>

00:43:33.099 --> 00:43:36.480
It<00:43:33.300><c> should</c><00:43:33.519><c> last</c><00:43:33.880><c> as</c><00:43:34.139><c> long</c><00:43:34.320><c> as</c><00:43:34.500><c> the</c><00:43:35.199><c> life</c><00:43:35.460><c> of</c><00:43:35.619><c> the</c><00:43:35.780><c> shorter</c><00:43:36.019><c> lived</c><00:43:36.320><c> of</c>

00:43:51.500 --> 00:43:55.780
He<00:43:51.579><c> is</c><00:43:51.739><c> laying</c><00:43:51.980><c> down</c><00:43:52.340><c> an</c><00:43:52.579><c> ideal</c><00:43:52.900><c> that</c><00:43:53.159><c> simply</c><00:43:53.440><c> doesn't</c><00:43:53.820><c> compromise</c><00:43:54.400><c> with</c><00:43:54.659><c> anything.</c>

00:43:56.199 --> 00:43:57.119

Another<00:43:59.039><c> reason</c><00:43:59.300><c> why</c><00:43:59.519><c> I</c><00:43:59.539><c> have</c><00:43:59.760><c> for</c><00:43:59.920><c> thinking</c><00:44:00.199><c> this</c><00:44:00.340><c> is</c><00:44:00.539><c> this.</c>

00:44:01.059 --> 00:44:03.500
It<00:44:01.179><c> isn't</c><00:44:01.460><c> the</c><00:44:01.659><c> Lord's</c><00:44:02.000><c> habit</c><00:44:02.239><c> to</c><00:44:02.480><c> lower</c><00:44:02.619><c> his</c><00:44:02.940><c> standards</c><00:44:03.260><c> for</c>

00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:09.239
He<00:44:06.420><c> may</c><00:44:06.719><c> be</c><00:44:06.960><c> prepared</c><00:44:07.239><c> to</c><00:44:07.599><c> consider</c><00:44:07.800><c> very</c><00:44:08.420><c> sympathetically</c>

00:44:09.239 --> 00:44:11.079

00:44:11.559 --> 00:44:14.300
That's<00:44:12.000><c> why</c><00:44:12.159><c> I'm</c><00:44:12.199><c> not</c><00:44:12.360><c> quite</c><00:44:12.539><c> as</c><00:44:12.679><c> hard</c><00:44:12.800><c> as</c><00:44:12.900><c> you</c><00:44:13.039><c> might</c><00:44:13.159><c> have</c><00:44:13.340><c> thought.</c>

00:44:18.340 --> 00:44:20.840
And<00:44:18.460><c> I</c><00:44:18.599><c> find</c><00:44:18.800><c> it</c><00:44:18.940><c> very</c><00:44:19.139><c> hard</c><00:44:19.320><c> to</c><00:44:19.579><c> imagine</c><00:44:19.920><c> that</c><00:44:20.099><c> the</c><00:44:20.219><c> Lord</c><00:44:20.360><c> would</c><00:44:20.539><c> take</c>

00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:33.119
Where<00:44:31.079><c> she</c><00:44:31.400><c> is</c><00:44:31.579><c> guilty</c><00:44:31.840><c> of</c><00:44:32.079><c> adultery,</c><00:44:32.460><c> but</c><00:44:32.559><c> he</c><00:44:32.719><c> is</c><00:44:32.780><c> guilty</c><00:44:33.000><c> of</c>

00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:34.079
things<00:44:33.340><c> just</c><00:44:33.619><c> as</c><00:44:33.840><c> bad,</c>

00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:36.300

00:44:36.519 --> 00:44:38.380

00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:41.860
It<00:44:38.880><c> would</c><00:44:39.019><c> seem</c><00:44:39.119><c> to</c><00:44:39.260><c> me</c><00:44:39.320><c> the</c><00:44:39.440><c> Lord</c><00:44:39.840><c> reads</c><00:44:40.460><c> all</c><00:44:40.760><c> our</c><00:44:41.000><c> hearts,</c>

00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:54.219
So<00:44:51.699><c> we</c><00:44:52.079><c> ought</c><00:44:52.320><c> all</c><00:44:52.559><c> to</c><00:44:52.760><c> recognize</c><00:44:53.139><c> that</c><00:44:53.360><c> in</c><00:44:53.519><c> married</c><00:44:53.719><c> life,</c>

00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:56.179
when<00:44:54.579><c> anything</c><00:44:54.860><c> goes</c><00:44:55.239><c> wrong,</c>

00:44:56.260 --> 00:44:58.400

00:44:59.880 --> 00:45:02.559
It<00:45:00.039><c> may</c><00:45:00.239><c> also</c><00:45:00.500><c> be</c><00:45:00.619><c> the</c><00:45:00.699><c> fault</c><00:45:00.820><c> of</c><00:45:00.920><c> the</c><00:45:01.000><c> one</c><00:45:01.079><c> whose</c><00:45:01.340><c> private</c><00:45:01.679><c> wrong</c><00:45:01.900><c> is</c>

00:45:06.219 --> 00:45:09.480
By<00:45:06.920><c> the</c><00:45:07.119><c> way,</c><00:45:07.219><c> it</c><00:45:07.219><c> can</c><00:45:07.420><c> happen</c><00:45:07.699><c> not</c><00:45:07.940><c> only</c><00:45:08.440><c> with</c><00:45:08.739><c> cop</c><00:45:08.960><c>-fetched</c><00:45:09.300><c> wives,</c>

00:45:09.579 --> 00:45:11.699
it<00:45:09.599><c> can</c><00:45:09.800><c> happen</c><00:45:09.920><c> with</c><00:45:10.139><c> hen</c><00:45:10.300><c>-fetched</c><00:45:10.539><c> husbands,</c><00:45:10.900><c> so</c><00:45:11.280><c> it</c><00:45:11.519><c> can</c>

00:45:13.619 --> 00:45:15.719
So<00:45:13.699><c> that</c><00:45:13.900><c> should</c><00:45:14.079><c> be</c><00:45:14.280><c> borne</c><00:45:14.480><c> in</c><00:45:14.639><c> mind</c><00:45:14.860><c> too.</c>

00:45:17.579 --> 00:45:21.420
Now,<00:45:19.119><c> the</c><00:45:19.260><c> one</c><00:45:19.400><c> thing</c><00:45:19.519><c> I</c><00:45:19.599><c> want</c><00:45:19.800><c> to</c><00:45:20.019><c> make</c><00:45:20.400><c> before</c><00:45:20.860><c> we</c><00:45:21.119><c> resume</c>

00:45:31.699 --> 00:45:34.619
the<00:45:31.880><c> sequence</c><00:45:32.239><c> is,</c><00:45:32.800><c> is</c><00:45:33.039><c> it</c><00:45:33.300><c> lawful</c><00:45:33.639><c> for</c><00:45:33.880><c> a</c><00:45:33.980><c> man</c><00:45:34.119><c> to</c><00:45:34.280><c> put</c><00:45:34.420><c> away</c>

00:45:36.219 --> 00:45:39.840
Or,<00:45:36.860><c> you</c><00:45:37.239><c> say</c><00:45:37.500><c> it</c><00:45:37.780><c> is,</c><00:45:38.000><c> and</c><00:45:38.139><c> you're</c><00:45:38.280><c> breaking</c><00:45:38.599><c> the</c><00:45:38.800><c> law</c><00:45:38.900><c> by</c><00:45:39.199><c> doing</c><00:45:39.519><c> so.</c>

00:45:40.059 --> 00:45:44.179
And<00:45:40.159><c> that's</c><00:45:40.320><c> always</c><00:45:40.639><c> the</c><00:45:40.920><c> connection,</c><00:45:41.639><c> putting</c><00:45:41.920><c> away</c><00:45:42.599><c> and</c><00:45:43.320><c> marrying.</c>

00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:49.079
Now,<00:45:45.880><c> the</c><00:45:46.000><c> Lord</c><00:45:46.099><c> has</c><00:45:46.300><c> been</c><00:45:46.420><c> very</c><00:45:46.639><c> much</c><00:45:46.860><c> concerned</c><00:45:47.139><c> with</c><00:45:47.440><c> motive</c><00:45:47.719><c> in</c><00:45:47.900><c> the</c><00:45:48.059><c> Matthew</c><00:45:48.340><c> 5</c><00:45:48.659><c> record,</c>

00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:51.619
who<00:45:49.300><c> shall</c><00:45:49.440><c> have</c><00:45:49.619><c> a</c><00:45:49.800><c> looketh</c><00:45:50.079><c> on</c><00:45:50.199><c> a</c><00:45:50.320><c> woman</c><00:45:50.500><c> to</c><00:45:50.760><c> lust.</c>

00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:55.539
And<00:45:53.239><c> it</c><00:45:53.340><c> seems</c><00:45:53.539><c> to</c><00:45:53.679><c> me</c><00:45:53.780><c> that</c><00:45:53.980><c> all</c><00:45:54.260><c> these</c><00:45:54.480><c> passages</c><00:45:54.719><c> are</c><00:45:55.019><c> concerned</c><00:45:55.280><c> with</c>

00:45:55.539 --> 00:45:56.940
that<00:45:55.820><c> kind</c><00:45:56.039><c> of</c><00:45:56.199><c> situation,</c>

00:45:57.719 --> 00:46:03.000
in<00:45:57.940><c> which</c><00:45:58.480><c> A,</c><00:45:59.599><c> being</c><00:45:59.920><c> dissatisfied</c><00:46:00.599><c> with</c><00:46:00.800><c> his</c><00:46:01.000><c> wife,</c><00:46:01.320><c> B,</c><00:46:01.920><c> wants</c><00:46:02.199><c> woman,</c><00:46:02.820><c> C,</c>

00:46:03.079 --> 00:46:05.079
and<00:46:03.139><c> so</c><00:46:03.300><c> gets</c><00:46:03.539><c> rid</c><00:46:03.739><c> of</c><00:46:03.840><c> B.</c>

00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:10.019
The<00:46:05.920><c> motive</c><00:46:06.239><c> is</c><00:46:06.480><c> there</c><00:46:07.460><c> when</c><00:46:08.179><c> the</c><00:46:08.420><c> divorce</c><00:46:08.619><c> is</c><00:46:08.880><c> entertained,</c>

00:46:10.860 --> 00:46:14.820
and<00:46:10.960><c> the</c><00:46:11.119><c> remarriage</c><00:46:11.639><c> was</c><00:46:11.860><c> in</c><00:46:12.039><c> mind</c><00:46:12.780><c> at</c><00:46:13.519><c> the</c><00:46:13.659><c> time.</c>

00:46:15.579 --> 00:46:17.559
So<00:46:15.719><c> I</c><00:46:15.780><c> think</c><00:46:15.960><c> in</c><00:46:16.119><c> all</c><00:46:16.420><c> these</c><00:46:16.679><c> passages</c><00:46:16.960><c> the</c><00:46:17.119><c> Lord</c><00:46:17.239><c> is</c><00:46:17.360><c> talking</c>
