August 19, 2018Marriage, Part 2
The marriage relationship, continued:
The relationship of marriage
Genesis 2:24; Mark 10:11; Luke 16:18; Romans 7:1-2; Matthew 19:9; 5:32; I Corinthians 7:10; Galatians 5:19 – Summary of God’s marriage law

Love wife as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25)
Love wife as own body (Ephesians 5:28)
Honor wife (I Peter 3:7)
Provide for household (I Timothy 4:8)
Wife

Marriage-divorce theories
Theory 1: I Corinthians 7:15 gives the Christian the right to remarry if the mate departs:
The word “bondage” in this verse is “douloo”; it is defined: “to enslave, serve” – Arndt / Gingrich
Other passages where this word is found: Acts 7:6; Romans 6:18, 22; I Corinthians 9:19; Galatians 4:3; Titus 2:3; II Peter 2:19
The word “bound” in Romans 7:2 and I Corinthians 7:39 is from “deo”; it is defined: “actual binding” as with a prisoner or chains – Arndt / Gingrich
Other passage where this word is found: Acts 9:14, 21; 21:11, 13; 22:29; Colossians 4:3
Thus, we see the verse is telling the Christian she is not under servitude to the unbelieving husband if he departs; she is not obliged to fulfill a wife’s duty to him. This verse does not give another reason for remarriage.

August 05, 2018Jude, Part 3
Jude 1:12-25
Jude 1:12 – It’s not entirely clear what is meant here by “love feasts.” The rest of the language here is very figurative, so it could simply be referring to fellowship with these people who were hidden dangers to their faith.
Jude 1:14 – Enoch was one of only two men we know of that did not see death. He and Elijah were both taken to heaven directly by God (Genesis 5:24; II Kings 2:11).
Jude 1:16 – See II Peter 2:1-3.
Jude 1:17 – See I Timothy 4:1; 1:19-20; II Timothy 2:17. The apostles had repeatedly warned of false teachers coming in.
Jude 1:20 – See Acts 17:11; Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11:6. This is the way we build ourselves up in the holy faith.
