The Human Sanctuary and Temple of God-6 quotes

For those who are unmarried among us, and who also do not yet have a boyfriend or girlfriend in their life, the Lord has the following pertinent instruction just for you:

“He that is unmarried careth for the things that belongeth to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely [or proper], and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction....But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned”. 1 Corinthians 7:32-35, 28.

So this means that there is nothing wrong with either being married or remaining unmarried. But those who remain unmarried have an advantage in being able to serve the Lord more of the time, because they are not distracted in having to divide their time with their spouse or children.

For those who are unmarried among us and who desire to find a proper individual of the opposite sex to become better acquainted with and possibly marry: just what type of individual will God approve of?

“When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many [pagan and unbelieving] nations before thee...thou shalt make no covenant with them...Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.” Deuteronomy 7:1-4.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?” 2 Corinthians 6:14-15.

God forbids His people to marry anyone who is not of our Remnant faith. As this is true, then it is best and safest to only seek potential boyfriends or girlfriends from among those of our faith. Otherwise, if you should look outside of our faith for potential marriage partners, then please understand that you are taking a big calculated risk in doing so. This gamble may pay off big time with a truly converted partner, or it may make you pay big time with heartache in having to break off the relationship because they remain an unbeliever.

By following God’s will in only marrying those of our faith then you would be expressing and manifesting the true self-denying and self-sacrificing type of this emotion of love, affection and passion. This would show that you are cleansing yourself from the wrong Satanic kind of this emotion, and thus revealing that God is truly dwelling in you and not Lucifer. But if you knowingly choose to marry outside of your faith, then you would be expressing and manifesting the false self-pleasing and selfish type of this emotion of love, affection and passion. This would show that you are making yourself more filthy, and thus reveal that Lucifer is truly dwelling in you and not God.

But even after you have found one such a special boyfriend or girlfriend of your own faith, yet you must always pray for God to either continue blessing your relationship with them as it progresses and grows, or that He will end it according to His perfect will. This is because God knows exactly what is hidden in the heart and you don’t, and God also knows exactly what the future holds, and you can’t. Since God truly loves you, then you can definitely trust God infinitely more than you can trust your own feelings in any relationship. God will never lead you astray, but your own feelings surely will. So always trust God in any relationship, and you will then always be safe, and if God allows you to marry, then you both know that your marriage will indeed have His blessing!

For those who are married, just how can we practically manifest the true noble and Godly kind of this emotion of love, affection and passion, and thus cleanse ourselves from the false Satanic kind of this emotion? God tells us very plainly:

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church....For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.” Ephesians 5:25-29, 31.

“...he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife....she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.” 1 Corinthians 7:33-34.

“...rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.” Proverbs 5:18-19.

“Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife (or in other words, neither are free to have sexual relations with any other partner except their own spouse). Defraud ye not one the other [or in other words, do not live separately], except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.” 1 Corinthians 7:1-5.

These verses reveal that there is ever to be the most tender self-denying and self-sacrificing love expressed and manifested towards our spouse, just like Christ Himself expressed and manifested the same tender love towards His church. We are ever to reveal the most tender-hearted kindness, sympathy, concern and watchful care over our spouse, seeking to please them in all areas, because they are indeed a part of us, and in loving them we are showing that we really love ourselves! Thus we are ever to nourish and cherish our union together, pressing ever closer to each other as each day passes, and being satisfied always with their love for us.

In doing all these things we would be expressing and manifesting the true self-denying and self-sacrificing type of this emotion of love, affection and passion. This would show that we are cleansing ourselves from the wrong Satanic kind of this emotion, and thus revealing that God is truly dwelling in us and not Lucifer. But if we choose not to do these things, then we would be expressing and manifesting the false self-pleasing and selfish type of this emotion of love, affection and passion. This would show that we are making ourselves more filthy, and thus revealing that Lucifer is truly dwelling in us and not God.

In the situation where a spouse has been unfaithful in the marriage, how can we manifest the true noble kind of the emotion of love, affection and passion, and thus cleanse ourselves from the wrong kind of these emotions?

“For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.” Romans 7:2-3.

“Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD...for I am married unto you...Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me. A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel [or in other words, they were asking forgiveness]: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings.” Jeremiah 3:12-14, 20-22.

If our spouse has been unfaithful, then we have one of two decisions to make. We can either divorce them because of their wilful adultery. Or if they have sincerely asked us to forgive them, then we can fully forgive them and remain married to them. But please understand that there is nothing wrong in making either choice, even if you choose to forever end the marriage with them. You are not the one at fault – they are, and so you should not feel guilty in making whatever choice you do.

If you choose to divorce them because of their wilful adultery, then you are choosing to end the marriage with them. In this case, you would be free in God’s eyes to marry another if you so choose to do so, but only in the Lord.

“Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery [except in cases where the other spouse was guilty of infidelity]....And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.” Matthew 19:9; Mark 10:12.

“The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead [or has committed adultery against her and a divorce has occurred], she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 7:39.

If we choose to fully forgive the sincerely repentant adulterer and to remain united with them, then our full forgiveness and continuation with them in that marriage has actually placed their infidelity in the past, and that is where it should be left – in the past – and not be brought up again before them. This decision means that the marriage would kind-of start over fresh and anew, and thus each would again need to vow to remain faithful to the other.

If you do make this decision, this would also mean that you cannot later decide to divorce them due to their past adultery, and then seek to marry another. This is because by your choice to fully forgive their wilful sin and to continue in the marriage relationship, then their past sin is in the past, and thus it cannot be brought back up and used against them in the future in seeking to end the marriage.

“Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts; Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst. And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms. For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully...then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now....

“Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi (or husband); and shalt call me no more Baali (or the unaffectionate title of Lord). For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name....And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.” Hosea 2:2-7, 14-17, 19-20.

We see here that the Lord God Michael was spiritually married to Israel as His wife (Jeremiah 3:14). But she had committed adultery against Him, had then separated from Him, and they were no longer united together as husband and wife. But afterwards she decided to return back to Him and to again remain faithful only to Him. With this decided change in her, He was then willing to mercifully forgive her, to renew the marriage relationship with her, and to also make no more mention of her past infidelity against Him. This meant that it was as if their marriage was beginning again fresh from the start, wherein each was promising to remain faithful to each other from that day forward. And the same with you if you make that same decision.

But the Bible mentions a specific instance wherein an unfaithful spouse can never be taken back into the previous marriage relationship, no matter how sincerely repentant they are. This is in the case where the adulterous spouse left you, then married another, and then left them to try and return back to you and renew your first marriage together.

“When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house...(and becomes) another man's wife. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin...” Deuteronomy 24:1-4.

This means that an adulterous spouse can be completely and fully forgiven and that the marriage can continue on. But if that adulterous spouse happens to marry another before returning back to you, then God states that you can never be take them back and renew the marriage with them.

By following God’s will in all these areas, we would be expressing and manifesting the true self-denying and self-sacrificing type of this emotion of love, affection and passion. This would show that we are cleansing ourselves from the wrong Satanic kind of this emotion, and would thus reveal that God is truly dwelling in us and not Lucifer. But if we choose not to do these things, then we would be expressing and manifesting the false self-pleasing and selfish type of this emotion of love, affection and passion. This would then show that we are making ourselves more filthy, and thus reveal that Lucifer is truly dwelling in us and not God.

What about marriages in which there are various forms of mental or physical abuse between the couple? In this situation, how can we practically manifest the true noble kind of the emotion of love, affection and passion, and thus cleanse ourselves from the wrong kind of these emotions?

“Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.” 1 Corinthians 7:10-11.

So in some situations a spouse is not required by God to remain living with the other spouse, and this is exactly the situation when abuse is involved. In the situation where the abuse is great enough and you believe your mental or physical health is jeopardized, then God does not require any of His followers to continue living with and suffering under such abuse.

As it is not God’s will that any of His children are to purposely jeopardize their health by remaining in a place where the people are intent on causing them harm, then it is also not God’s will that any of His children should purposely remain in a marriage where their spouse is intent on causing them harm either. You must remember that you are a child of the King of the Universe! And as such, you do not have to suffer under such abuse, but are completely free to leave and escape from living with such an abusive partner.

But if you do choose to leave an abusing spouse, then you must also understand that you are not free to start a new relationship with another, because you are not free to remarry. You are still married to the abuser, even though you are not living with them and perhaps have even divorced them, and you will continue to be married with them in God’s eyes until the abusing spouse either commits adultery against you, or dies. As this is true, then if you leave you must be content to either remain single, or to be reconciled back to you spouse – obviously only after the abuser has completely changed in character and will no longer seek to harm you.

So by following God’s will in this area, then we would be expressing and manifesting the true self-denying and self-sacrificing type of this emotion of love, affection and passion. This would show that we are cleansing ourselves from the wrong Satanic kind of this emotion, and thus revealing that God is truly dwelling in us and not Lucifer. But if we choose not to do these things, then we would be expressing and manifesting the false self-pleasing and selfish type of this emotion of love, affection and passion. This would show that we are making ourselves more filthy, and thus reveal that Lucifer is truly dwelling in us and not God.

God tells us very plainly: “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.” Romans 7:2-3. “And I saw, when for all the causes whereby...Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce”. Jeremiah 3:8. “Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD...for I am married unto you...Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me.

We can either divorce them because of their wilful adultery. Or if they have sincerely asked us to forgive them, then we can fully forgive them and remain married to them. But please understand that there is nothing wrong in making either choice, even if you choose to forever end the marriage with them. You are not the one at fault – they are, and so you should not feel guilty in making whatever choice you do. If you choose to divorce them because of their wilful adultery, then you are choosing to end the marriage with them. In this case, you would be free in God’s eyes to marry another if you so choose to do so, but only in the Lord. “Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery [except in cases where the other spouse was guilty of infidelity]....And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.” Matthew 19:9; Mark 10:12. “The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead [or has committed adultery against her and a divorce has occurred], she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 7:39. The only time in which a divorced spouse can remarry with God’s approval is if their previous spouse has committed adultery against them. If we choose to fully forgive the sincerely repentant adulterer and to remain united with them, then our full forgiveness and continuation with them in that marriage has actually placed their infidelity in the past, and that is where it should be left – in the past – and not be brought up again before them.

In this situation, how can we practically manifest the true noble kind of the emotion of love, affection and passion, and thus cleanse ourselves from the wrong kind of these emotions? “Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.” 1 Corinthians 7:10-11. So in some situations a spouse is not required by God to remain living with the other spouse, and this is exactly the situation when abuse is involved. In the situation where the abuse is great enough and you believe your mental or physical health is jeopardized, then God does not require any of His followers to continue living with and suffering under such abuse. This principle is shown in the following verse: “But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye”. Matthew 10:23. As it is not God’s will that any of His children are to purposely jeopardize their health by remaining in a place where the people are intent on causing them harm, then it is also not God’s will that any of His children should purposely remain in a marriage where their spouse is intent on causing them harm either. You must remember that you are a child of the King of the Universe! And as such, you do not have to suffer under such abuse, but are completely free to leave and escape from living with such an abusive partner. But if you do choose to leave an abusing spouse, then you must also understand that you are not free to start a new relationship with another, because you are not free to remarry. You are still married to the abuser, even though you are not living with them and perhaps have even divorced them, and you will continue to be married with them in God’s eyes until the abusing spouse either commits adultery against you, or dies. As this is true, then if you leave you must be content to either remain single, or to be reconciled back to you spouse – obviously only after the abuser has completely changed in character and will no longer seek to harm you. So by following God’s will in this area, then we would be expressing and manifesting the true self-denying and self-sacrificing type of this emotion of love, affection and passion. This would show that we are cleansing ourselves from the wrong Satanic kind of this emotion, and thus revealing that God is truly dwelling in us and not Lucifer. But if we choose not to do these things, then we would be expressing and manifesting the false self-pleasing and selfish type of this emotion of love, affection and passion. This would show that we are making ourselves more filthy, and thus reveal that Lucifer is truly dwelling in us and not God.
