Till Death Do Us Part?

I started out in a Holiness church that taught this we are bound to out first wife and husband until death,My parents being divorced i would never receive this teaching,Never had a revelation in it..I would pray for God to give me an understanding.One day reading Matthew 19:10-12 (KJV) 10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. when i read these two scriptures it all came together.,why would they say it;s not good to marry if they were allowed to divorce?verse 11 why would say All men cannot receive this saying,save they to whom it is given,? Why would any of this be a problem if they were allowed to divorce?Brother Webbs book fills in many other gaps and is backed up with scripture.This seems to be a problem in the USA ,I live in A SouthEsat Asian country now but from America,Here you rarely see divorce in the Church,If a Pastor is divorced and remarried he is not qualified to preach.Now ith the internet cell phones,i feel the poison of the western countries concerning divorce and remarriage will be leaked into the Asian and other countries where Marriage is still held sacred.I highly recommend this book by Brother Webb also any Books or videos by David Pawson,But beware this is 100% truth that many do not want to know,You will be in the minority in the western if you hold to this truth .

This is one of the best books you will ever find on marriage, divorce, and remarriage! There are generally two types of people who tend to search up these kinds of topics: those who really want to know what the Bible says and those who are simply looking for affirmation in their lifestyle. If you REALLY want to know what the bible says, then this is the right book for you as it is exhaustively researched and well-written. However, if your doctrinal views tend to change with the culture, then you will not like this book as it will greatly challenge your view. We live in a day and time where marriage has become a disposable commodity. The pursuit of happiness is the goal rather than working through your marital difficulties. Serial monogamy is the new norm--but it was not always that way! The goal of marriage is not found in the pursuit of happiness, rather, it is found in becoming more Christ-like. When we live according to God's Word and show our spouse Godly love and character we can truly work through anything. The problems come when we put our self first, fail to meet our spouse's needs, and live according to the flesh. In other words--divorce stems from a broken relationship with God primarily. If we have a strong connection to God, we will, by default, have a stronger connection with our spouse. Of course, as humans living in a fallen world, we sometimes mess up and get things wrong. But, if we are persuing Christlikeness, we will be so much better off!

I have been so changed by Dr Webb's books on this subject. Let me say i did not want to accept this view and set out to punch a hole in these strict view of Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage... it back fired on me. This book will challenge 99% of pastors and even if they do not accept this idea on the covenant of a marriage being just like Christ marriage to the Church; i think every pastor/minister and Priest should have both of Dr. Webb's books on this subject. I have been doing research on this subject for the last several years now because i have been "divorced" and this view really affects my life. I have talked with several pastors and read other book on this and no one seems to be able to really debate this view. I am glad i know the truth now but really it is not what i was hoping for. Now most people believe what they want to believe and find a way to do so. This is not a "Modern" or "Popular" view; but it is the "old fashioned" original view. I believe this biblical view because it has become my conviction; not because this is what i wanted to believe about the bible. What difference is there in the "Church" if we swap spouses like the world shacks up before they get "married"? I am so impress with his books that I have ordered a case of his other book and will order a case of this too very soon to give to Pastors etc. Dr. Webb's other book is called "Divorce & Remarriage: The Trojan Horse Within the Church?" Whom Bill Gothard said he did an Outstanding job on this BIblical view.

Excellent work by Mr. Webb, not afraid to speak the truth, not just ear tickling words. The Messia came in his father's name. Yahweh, his name is Yashua, not Jesus You must follow the Ten commandments if you want a place In heaven Christmas is pagan as is Easter and Halloween of course Hosea 4:6

This book is not your average Christian book. The author does a great job taking a hard look at what the Bible really teaches about divorce and remarriage. Most pastors won't dare to go into the territory Joseph Webb goes, but I think this message needs to be taught. If you want to get the real truth from the Bible about divorce and remarriage, give this book a read. Warning: you may not be popular after agreeing with the truth contained from the Bible that is distilled in this book. Read at your own risk.

Thanks to Joe Webb for having the spiritual fortitude and intellectual honesty to thoroughly tackle an extremely controversial issue. Unlike most other authors on divorce and remarriage, Webb sides with Jesus and, like Him, lays out a clear, Biblical definition of marriage-that is marriage is for life (Mark 10). Webb also reveals a lot of background information and shows how Erasmus and the Protestant Reformers brought the perverse "trojan horse" of remmariage into the church, which is commendable since he is a protestant minister and the son of an adulterously remmarried couple. Where I saw the incompletion was Webb's lack of insistence/clarity on what those who are in an adulterous remmarriage should do. I understand his wanting to leave this up to the individual and the Holy Spirit. However, most folks who claim the name of Jesus yet are in adultery are really good at claiming that "God told me to marry so and so." When someone is an abortion doctor, a thief or a homosexual, we have no problem articulating that they must admit it and quit it (get out of the relationship/practice). Likewise, we must boldly and gently/respectfully require that so called "Christians" get out of their adulterous remarriages (if either of the original spouses still lives) if they want to be in the fellowship and go to heaven.

The Holy Spirit led me into this truth when I went through my husband divorcing me. For awhile I thought this can’t be for to accept it as truth would mean so many professing believers around me in my own personal life are practicing adultery but the Spirit confirmed what he had revealed to me through this book.

I cannot describe how much this ministry's info means to both me and my husband! Both of his books books and their DVDs and other material helps us to minister and to explain the deep concerns of our hearts,and the truths we were raised with but which are principles and convictions which are being attacked by the local church world and by those living in opposition of the Bible while holding positions of church leadership in our area. Also personally talking with Pastor Dr Webb helped lift & comfort my heart so very much, because his immensely loving and forgiving attitude, after all he has stood alone for, has helped me totally forgive and understand those who wont read any materials he wrote, but instead they wrathfully disagreed and verbally tried to defame us this past year. The whole stand we take, along with access to all Dr Webb's Biblical materials, and how God helps him minister to our hearts, have drawn me richly closer to God. Our 30 year very great first marriage has even become richer and is fabulous and we can live and serve others as our conscience tells us to much easier because of Dr Webb!!!

Truth brings freedom no matter how much it hurts at first and this book is true to the Word despite how controversial its message might be. If you want to live in freedom and see Gods Bride flourish then we would do well to take heed of what Dr Webb has made clear. I honour him for swimming against the current all these years and I hope many more of us join him.

Good book. No compromise. If you mean business with God.

I agree with that book
