What these BIBLICAL terms mean?

{Marriage} is a Creation of God to join a man and a woman, who has no living husband, as one for the rest of their lives.  And it is God who set the rules for marriage. To go through a marriage ceremony or to marry someone that God says you can't marry does not make you one-flesh in the eyes of God even if man and his laws say you are.
Here are two examples of marriages God does not accept.
Matthew.5: 32 says: Whoever shall marry a divorced woman commits adultery. And Mark.5: 17 says: for Herod had married Herodias. Just because you marry someone, that does not make them your spouse. God says a man can Not marry a man, can Not marry his mother, and he can Not marry an other man's wife.

{One Flesh} is something God does- that lasts a lifetime- in making a man and a woman one flesh as husband and wife.
For one to lie with another (a human act) does not make two people "one flesh" (a work of God).
For a man to lie with his wife is honorable and godly, and for a man to lay with someone not his wife is sin; but neither human act makes them one-flesh.
An ungodly act of fornication or adultery does not make anyone married, and such an act of sin cannot make anyone "one-flesh" either. Lying with anyone is not what makes one married. A harlot is a harlot because of what she does, not because she is married or not married. Only God is able to make two people "one-flesh". And god will not do so against his laws.

{Adultery} is to lay with a married person of the opposite sex, who is not your spouse, or to divorce and marry another. Mk.10:11-12 THIS IS THE SAME AS HAVING SOMEONE WHO IS NOT YOUR SPOUSE

{Fornication} is sex before marriage when the word fornication is listed with adultery

{Hardness Of Heart} is destitution of spiritual perception Strong's N.T. # 4541 (ignorance by choice) stupidity or callousness: blindness Strong's N. T.# 4457.

{Let Not \ Let None} puts the responsibility not only on the married couple but on others also,
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder (divorce) Matthew 19:6, Mark 10:9,
    let none deal treacherously (divorce) against his wife Malachi 2: 14-16,
    Let not the wife depart from her husband … let not the husband put away his wife.. 1Corinthians 7:10, 11.

How does a person “let not / let none” (NOT ALLOW) man to put apart?
HOW Can we stop Allowing or let not people to Divorce and Remarry?
1     By being informed that Marriage really is until death.
2     By speaking the truth in love because we care about them and do not want them to end up in hell.
3     By not calling people “Husband and Wife” who are in adultery. and not calling them “Mr. and Mrs. new-last-name” we can call them by their 1st names.
4     By holding people accountable to their word vowed in their first marriage and to God's word saying marriage is until death. Making a new vow can not remove or undo an older allowable vow. Keep your vow.

If God commands, "Do not close the door", and you find the door closed, what then? You say I didn't close it so it's not my responsibly to see that it gets opened. But if God says, "Let not the door be closed", that implies you and everyone that knows of the command, not only to not close the door, but also to open it if it is closed. We need to be active watchmen. Not allowing men to think they can take apart what God says we are to not allow. IF we ALLOW divorce and remarriage by saying nothing we also become guilty of the sin of this remarriage.

Please read Ezekiel 3: 17-21: When a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.

And from the 33rd chapter of Ezekiel we read: If the wicked restore what he had robbed and walk In the statutes of life he shall surely live. Say unto them, As I live, says the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: We are our brother's keeper, and are instructed to be Praying always in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints Ephesians 6: 18.

{Mercy} is the grace of God freely given to all who turn from wickedness, ask for forgiveness, and live righteously. Isa.27: 11 says: ...for It is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them. And Isaiah 55:6-8: Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways says the Lord.   (Please see Mercy website which list a bunch of verses on mercy. http://mercypleasetw.weebly.com/ )

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy Hosah 10:12. By faith Able offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain (to obey God he had to kill a lamb) Hebrews ll:4.

Eli did not do the right thing in 1Samuel 2:12-4:18 only speaking to his sons Hophni and Phinehas about their evil acts of eating the fat of the sacrifices and having sex with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle, Eli did not stop them but allowing them to continue being priest and continue with their evil acts. God said. ?Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and
honor your sons above me.?

Remarriage ADULTERY is a continuous action not just a past event

What is the purpose of the clear passages? In other words, were they put there for a reason? Does God expect us to ignore His clear teachings to us regarding divorce and remarriage in favor of unclear passages? Why did God put these passages here in such a clear cut and direct way if He intended to reverse them in other passages?

Is it safe to base a moral decision upon an unclear passage when you have a clear passage which tells you the heart of God on a particular issue? In other words, is it wise to make a decision that could determine where one will spend all of eternity based upon an unclear verse when one has a clear verse telling us how God wants us to behave in a particu1ar situation?

Let's Dig Deeper

.Lets take our inquire into the clear passages a little further. Jesus says that in each of the above instances if a person enters into a remarriage state then he or she “commits adultery”. The question is how do they commit adultery? Is it once (at the time when they first enter into the new marriage) or do they “commit” adultery continuously so long as they are in the new marriage? Looking at thc Greek in these passages gives us the answer to this question. In each of these passages the Greek verb for “commits adultery” is in the present tense. The present tense in Greek generally indicates that something happens continuously in an on going manner. When a Greek verb is written in the present tense it implies that it has, continued from the moment that it began up until the

present and is still continuing. This understanding of how the Greek present tense normally operates is well attested to by Greek scholars:

“The present tense refers to what is usually described as continuous action, sometimes called linear or ongoing action. It is action that began at some point in the undefined past and has not ended. It is “present” in the sense that it continues into the present. The picture that the present tense provides is of something occurring now. It designates action that is right now continuing as it began." (Joseph Webb, Robert Kysar, Greek for Preachers, Chalice Press: 2001, p.46

'The present tense is basically linear or durative, ongoing in its kind of action. The durative notion may be expressed graphically by an unbroken line (--)' since the action is simply continuous." (James Hewitt, New Testament Greek, Hendrickson Publishers: 1986, p.13)

The Greek Present corresponds more closely in meaning to the English Present Continuous than to the Present Simple." (John William Wenham, Henry Preston Vaughan Nunn, The Elements of New Testament Greek, Cambridge Univ. Press: 1991, p27)

"The Present Tense Stem expresses continuous (or durative) action..." (John Thompson, A Greek Grammar Accidence. Syntax For Schools and Colleges, John Murray: 1902. p.314)

“The present tense is used of present time and has a continuous type of action in view." (J. Lyle Story, Cullen I. K. Story, Peter Allen Miller, Greek To Me, Xulon Press: 2002, p.14)

"The present expresses repetition, habit, continuance; thc aorist, a single irrevocable act of surrender." (William Webster, The Syntax And Synonyms Of The Greek Testament, Gilbert and Rivington: 1864, p89)

'The present tense usually denotes continuous kind of action. lt shows action in progress or 'a state of persisteuce.' When used in the indicative mood, the present tense denotes action taking place or going on in the present time. (Greek Verbs (Shorter Definitions), www.ntgreek.org)

The implication of Jesus' words as attested to by the above Greek scholars, is that if two individuals enter into a marriage that Jesus describes as being adu1teruous they continuously commit adultery.

When one wants to truly understand what words in a sentence mean they must take into consideration the context of where those words appear. Examining the entire context of one of Jesus' divorce and remarriage passages will give us a clearer understanding of how long the adultery lasts. In Luke 16:18 Jesus declares:

Whoever puts away (present continuous tense) his wife, and marries (present continuous tense) another, commits adultery

(present continuous tense) and whoever marries (present continuous tense) her that is put away from her husband commits adultery (present continuous tense)    page 117

When one looks at Jesus' teachings on divorce and remarriage in Luke 16:18 it becomes clear that the action of committing adultery is actually connected to the two other actions of “putting away one's wife" and “entering into another state of marriage" all of which are in the Greek present continuous tense. When one looks at the Greek of this passage it will be seen that because of the use of the present tense, this passage is really saying:

"Whoever, continues to put away his wife, and enters into a continuous and ongoing state of marriage with another, commits adultery continuously: and whoever enters into a continuous and ongoing state of marriage with her that is put away from her husband commits adultery continuously"

The act of committing adultery is dependent upon the two acts of putting away one's wife and entering into another marriage relationship. In other words, so long as one puts away his wife" and stays in a relationship where he Is married to someone else" he commits adultery. We fail to see this understanding of the passage because we think of divorce and remarriage as one time events. We can name the dates on which our divorce was decreed by a judge and upon which our new marriage took place. This is because we think of “divorce” and “marriage” as nouns (things), not verbs (actions). People really miss what Jesus was saying in this passage because they are thinking of the first two actions as nouns, when in reality they are present continuous verbs. When a person "puts away bis wife" he does not do it just on the day that he divorces her. He continues to put her away for however long he refuses to be reconciled with her. And when a man "marries another" he does not do it just on the day that he has the ceremony. He continues to be in a state of marriage with her for however long they live as a married couple. This is the key to determining how long the adultery lasts.

Continuing To Put Away One's Wife + continuing To Live In A Marital State With A New Wornan = Continuing To   Commit Adultery    Page 118

So is it adultery over and done in the past? Or is it Ongoing Continuing Adultery?

In Luke 16:18 Jesus declares:
Whoever puts away (present continuous tense) his wife, and
marries (present continuous tense) another, commits adultery
(present continuous tense) and whoever marries (present
continuous tense) her that is put away from her husband commits adultery (present continuous tense) Page 117

This passage is really saying:
"Whoever, continues to put away his wife, and enters into a continuous and ongoing state of marriage with another, commits adultery continuously: and whoever enters into a continuous and ongoing state of marriage with her that is put away from her husband commits adultery continuously" Page 118
