Bishop Thomas Weeks and Prophetess Christina Glenn
Well Bishop Thomas Weeks, III and Prophetess Christina Glenn have set their Wedding Date. The two are set to wed on October 17, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Bishop Weeks had launched an online reality tv show called “The Next Mrs. Weeks” as a response to persons who wanted to advise him of who he should marry next. There were ten webisodes in all as women from all over the world expressed their interest in being the next Mrs. Weeks.
It was not until June that Bishop Weeks changed his facebook status from single to in a relationship and posts began to surface from Prophetess Christina Glenn. Along with the status change, Bishop Weeks began to post pictures on his site of his new love interest. They have since become engaged and have set a date for two months from now.

The message is:
When you hold a title you are not subject to the word of God. You can have as many wives as you please. When you get mad at her (or jealous of her), kick her in the private parts, talk about her, trash her name. If anyone has a problem with our filthy behavior, they are questioning God Himself, because you are His anointed.
Next, find another woman, and blast everywhere that you are happy with another wife. Say God did it–that God put you two together, so that He condones every wicked (oops–not wicked because it’s you, and when you do it it makes it right) thing you do or don’t do. You are above the word of God.
And for Michelle Taylor, so since something came true in your life they said (psychics do that too) their word is above God’s word now? Forget what God says now, and believe what they say now? You leaving yourself wide open for any false prophet. Test the spirit by the word of God.
These people want to be super Gospel mega-stars, at the expense of anybody. They will walk on anybody to get to the top.
Doesn’t matter how well you dress, how pretty you put on your make-up, or how nice your bow-tie shines, sin is sin is sin. Doesn’t matter if you said something true here and there if you live a lie. People place some of these people above God’s word. The blind lead the blind into the ditch.
When did Moses or David or Paul or Peter beat and kick their wives? When David sinned he caused a lot of others to sin. He had to suffer for it. He apologized and repented. He didn’t go flaunt his sin in front of everyone to prove he could get away with everything because he is special and above everyone else like Weeks. It looks like he is doing this himself to prove to everyone he is on top, despite his wicked hatred for women.
God’s anointed? Is this the best example God can give us to follow? I am sure not. When you look to the ministers of God to fulfill the word in front of our faces, to be the example of why God blesses, we need to see it. I cannot understand why this man would be blessed. He hasn’t come clean yet. Anyone who follows his example is in big trouble. How can he exemplify God’s word? By speaking only? Even that he can’t do too well because to gain understanding you have to live it. Maybe that is why he was jealous of Juanita Bynum–he was out of his league with her.
And this woman, Glenn; now her name and picture is everywhere, and she probably gets more invitations than ever, before she got “engaged.” Her book is getting ready to sell more, since more exposure. This “marriage” serves her well, so she thinks. We will see.
I am like everyone else. I am waiting to see what God will do. Until then…..

I have a lot to say on this but I will leave the judging up to God….people just remember we worship God not the preachers or prophetess, etc….Men/Women of God you can tell them from the fakes…be careful of false prophets..I agree Fatimah.
[ September 5th, 2009 at 12:28 am ]
we all must remember that all have sinned and FALL short…we cant judge least we be judged..God is going to do that..and as real christains we need to pray for those that seem to err in the ways of God because none of us can cast any stones..Joyce Meyers was just teaching on tamming our mouths and keeping our opinions of others to ourselves..sometimes as christains we can be too over opinionated., to holier than thou but God forbid if he expoed whats in our hearts,home etc,,!!.maybe this is a an awful trial that he has to walk through.. who knows..but God is able to finish what he started.and sometimes satan wants us to focus in on this kind of thing,..taking our minds off the true mission that any of us are here for..to do the will of God..we’re all buildings under construction and we might look like a horrible mess to others but let God handle his business,He(God) can take the foolish things to confound the wise…..we have to be careful about putting our mouths on others we do not know God’s thoughts or his heart on the matter. God told Samuel that he was looking at the outward appearance, but God sees the heart of man…leave all this up to Gpd to handle and pray that we as individuals will be counted worthy to hear “well done thy good and faithful servant” as christains we cant get caugh up in the headline news..lets get “caught up” when the trumpet sounds!!God bless…

Is she nuts? She is walking with her eyes “wide-shut”. This fiasco will not last. It cannot because it is built on deceit and deception. Bishop Weeks knows that he is an undercover DL brother and an abuser to boot.
I’m sure Juanita is breathing a sigh of relief . . . “Better her than me”
All I can say is . . . Ms. Glenn; by deepest sympathies!
[ September 9th, 2009 at 9:38 am ]
I don’t care how spiritual you want to be or try to be. Blow in those ears, kiss that neck and lower, people forget God and their names. Just STOP feeding the flesh and you can make kingdom choices in the RIGHT spirit! Let the church say “Amen!”
The Bible says we are all caught up in sin by what…OUR OWN LUSTS! Whatever the lust is it’s in the carnal realm. Carnality is an enemy to Godlikeness. It will ALWAYS, I repeat ALWAYS lead you wrong. I’m sick of lying flesh and I know God is to. I look a myself and reserve judgement for The ALL Righteous Judge Himself. I ask for His Strength in my weak areas and there are a few. We do well to do the same. It won’t hurt to pray for them in the love of Christ asking God to bless and not curse. God requires that we do that for our enemies, and I hope that these folks are not in that club. Let’s not get it twisted–We will all reap what we sow no matter who we are–Saint or Sinner. Love ya Family

What a production.
[ September 9th, 2009 at 4:30 pm ]
Congratulations to the both of you!
[ September 9th, 2009 at 4:33 pm ]
To Breezy & A real christian: Be careful what you say to others and how you say it. We are not the one to judge. If Bishop is doing something wrong he will be handled, but we are not the one to condemn him. Wish them well!!!! We don’t what happened with his previous marriage, we can only by what the media stays . (That’s a joke) I don’t think you all would want anyone to judge you. Have a good night, be blessed and I wish the both of them the best!!!!!!!!!

Well, well what can i say, i’am really disappointed at this so-called CHRISTIAN, that beautiful lady was absent when the news had broken regarding mr. Weeks beating up on Juanita. I do call these people christian base on the Bible, due to the fact that they’re not living according to the Bible. Paul had adviced us to judge one and another, their need to repent and turn away from their wicked way. No, matter what happen between me and my wife i had promised not to re-married for as long as she’s breathing the air of God. How can they call themselves christian, a Bishop going on a show to choose the next mrs. Weeks, he needs to show me where in the Bible he had found that idea, untill then i will never accept that from anyone. Why not praying and asking God to lead him to the next mrs. Weeeks, nothing spiritual nor christian about hat right there. I’am sick and tired of people taking advantage of the Gospel of Jesus-Christ by abusing other hman beings, and have a Bible in their hands and preaching the Holy Gospel. Their need to repent or else. For too long Christianity been abused by those so call leaders of the Gospel need to stepped aside and let the Holy Spirit lead His Churches, enough about those crooked ones. Just remembered that when Moses had led the Isrealite out Egype, Pharoh had done the same Wonders as Moses did, that’s the reason why the Bible has ask us to be aware of the fault prophets, they’ll do miracles in my name they’ll cast out demon, just beacause someone spoke so-call prophecy and became a reality doesn’t mean that they are of God ok. Be blessed. and good night to all you at there.

Believers, there are several passages of Scripture which allows the “church body” to judge. Yes, in general we do not go around judging everything people do. However, collectively in Christ… and in the interest of holding “leaders” accountable, (to live according to Biblical standards,) our judgment is permitted and approved according to Scripture! So it is acceptable for believers to express outrage and inspired disapproval when fruits of the spirit are not being produce by so called “fruit trees” (Matthew 7). In the following passage Paul welcome others to judge him… 1 Corinthians 10:15 “I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.” Paul pleas with the church body to judge in the following passage… 1 Corinthians 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? Another passage of Scripture reads… 1 Corinthians 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. In closing, when we judge, let it be based on Scripture as our authority, in a spirit of love and righteousness and with the purpose for edification, rebuke and revelation of truth. Bro. Yeh

The book of Revelation foretells that at the time of the end, in the last few years of Satan’s dominion over the earth, a religious personality will arise and deceive the whole world by means of miraculous signs. This individual is referred to as “another beast” (Revelation 13:11), as well as “the false prophet” (Revelation 16:13; 19:20; 20:10). The False Prophet is given supernatural power to do things like calling fire down from heaven (Revelation 13:13), and the signs he performs, combined with the demonic words he speaks (Revelation 16:13-14), will cause people to give their allegiance to—and even worship—the Beast (Revelation 13:14). This man will wield tremendous religious influence, and inspired by the Dragon, he will successfully convince most of the world to commit idolatry (Revelation 13:12).
The Bible does not reveal the False Prophet’s name or even the number of his name, as it does for the Beast. Instead, we will have to recognize him by his fruits—by what he says and does (Matthew 7:15-20). Yet, even this is a tricky proposition. For instance, the False Prophet will be able to call down fire from heaven, and yet Elijah, a true prophet of God, did the same (I Kings 18:36-38). If we see a man calling fire down from heaven, how do we know whether he is true or false?
The end time is prophesied to be full of deceptions (Matthew 24:11), and the elect will not be totally immune to having the wool pulled over their eyes (Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22). It will take careful evaluation to see through the façade and to recognize Satan’s servants for what they are, rather than what they appear to be (II Corinthians 11:14-15).
The details given about the False Prophet are few. However, if we understand the patterns and motivations that the Bible reveals about the class of people called “false prophets,” we will be better equipped to recognize the general mold that the end-time False Prophet will fit. Both Testaments describe false prophets, and Peter, John, and Jesus Christ specifically warn of false prophets that affect church members.
Defining Prophet
Because of the way “prophet” is commonly used, there is a misconception that its basic definition is “someone who foretells the future,” but this definition is too narrow. Prophet is better defined as “one who speaks for another.” A true prophet, then, is a person who speaks for God, delivering a message that God has ordained him to give. In Exodus 7:1, God tells Moses that Aaron, his brother, would be his (Moses’) prophet, even as Moses was God’s prophet. Because of Moses’ unbelief in God’s ability to speak through him, God would speak to Moses, who would tell Aaron what to say to others—Pharaoh in particular (verse 2). It is the function of speaking for another, rather than the miracles they performed or their foretelling of what would befall Egypt, which defined Moses and Aaron as prophets.
Frequently, the words a prophet spoke on God’s behalf were, in fact, foretelling what would happen later. However, the prophet’s essential role was to speak for God, regardless of whether he did any predicting of the future. A prophet expresses the will of God in words, and sometimes he uses signs to back up what he says and to demonstrate God’s power behind it.
In a similar way, a false prophet also may not be in the business of foretelling the future. A false prophet is simply someone who speaks for another but falsely. False prophets either speak for the wrong god, or they claim to have heard from the true God but do not accurately represent Him or His words. At the very least, they speak out of their own human hearts, but more likely, the “god” they are speaking for is really a demon.
It is true that, if a prophet foretells something that fails to come to pass, he is a false prophet (Deuteronomy 18:20-22), but foretelling the future correctly is not the determining factor when looking at false prophets. The real issue is whether one who claims to be representing God and speaking for Him, is doing so accurately or falsely. A prophet may accurately predict an event or demonstrate supernatural power, but if he is leading people away from the true worship of the true God, he is a false prophet.
If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let us go after other gods”—which you have not known—”and let us serve them,” you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him. But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has spoken in order to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of bondage, to entice you from the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. So you shall put away the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:1-5)
This passage begins with the assumption that the prophet does foretell the future accurately or perform some other, humanly impossible work. Nevertheless, if that prophet’s central message is to follow after a different god or to take a spiritual path that the true God has not said to take, that person is a false prophet. God states unequivocally that misrepresenting Him incurs the death penalty, and Revelation 19:20 says that this is exactly what happens to the False Prophet: He is thrown into the Lake of Fire.
Dodging Moral Teaching
The message of the false prophet is contrasted in Deuteronomy 13:3-4 with loving the true God with all of our heart and soul (life), walking after Him, fearing Him, keeping His commandments, obeying His voice, serving Him, and holding fast to Him. These elements indicate what God wants His people to be focused on, helping to define whether a man claiming to speak for God is truly doing so or not.
Verse 4 mentions obeying God’s voice and keeping His commandments. This is a regular theme with God’s true prophets: They always have God’s law undergirding their messages. When the Old Testament prophets were sent to warn or inform Israel and Judah, they always pointed out the grievous ways in which the people had transgressed God’s law.
False prophets, on the other hand, will not hold the moral line that God requires. Lamentations 2:14 says that the false prophets “have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captives, but have envisioned for you false prophecies and delusions.” False prophets will not connect the dots between the sinfulness of a nation and national calamity. They instead focus on something other than God’s standard of righteousness.
This same principle appears in Isaiah 8:19-20. Both houses of Israel were guilty of seeking out mediums and wizards for spiritual guidance, and God’s response is very telling:
And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
God gives us a standard by which to measure the words of a prophet: the law and testimony—His Word. If the prophet’s message contradicts what is already established as God’s Word, it is evidence that he lacks spiritual understanding. If his words do not line up with God’s law and testimony, he is not speaking the truth.
In summary, the hallmark of a true prophet is his upholding of the law of God, while false prophets dodge moral teaching and instead preach a message that appeals to the masses. God’s truth is abhorrent to the natural mind (Romans 8:7), and thus it is quite common for God’s prophets to be killed, while the false prophets enjoy widespread popularity and support.
The current trend of outcome-based churches serves as a good example. Their leaders preach a widely popular message, and thousands of people follow them. Yet, Jesus says in Luke 6:26, “Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for so did their fathers to the false prophets.” Popularity is not a good measurement of God’s pleasure with a leader!
Jesus Christ, the most perfect Spokesman for God who has ever lived, only had about 120 true followers when His ministry ended (Acts 1:15). This was not due to failure on His part, but because His Father’s message could be wholeheartedly believed only by those whose minds God had already prepared to accept it.
“Purpose-Driven” church leaders will not preach the unadulterated Word of God because they know it is divisive. It would also thwart their goals of a large following and a large income. Thus, their messages do not involve repentance, sound doctrine, or God’s law, except where it may serve to further whatever purpose is driving them. Their messages do not remind people of their moral responsibilities to God and brother, and thus if they claim to speak for God or say that God sent them, we can know from biblical patterns that they are, in fact, false prophets. Their large churches, as amazing as they might seem, are not accurate indicators of God’s involvement or blessing.
Fruits of False Prophets
The apostle Peter, in warning against false prophets, illuminates their characteristics. The entirety of II Peter 2 is about false prophets and false teachers. What sort of message would these men preach? What would be one’s impression of God—whom they allegedly spoke for—after watching and listening to such men?
» “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction” (II Peter 2:1). The King James Version calls their heresies damnable, implying that their words—their messages—are destructive to one’s faith and relationship with God. “Denying the Lord” does not mean they deny that He lived or died or that He is God, but that their words and conduct are opposed to His fundamental nature. Their lives deny any close contact with Him.
» “By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber” (II Peter 2:3). False prophets use human nature’s proclivity toward covetousness to make inroads to a person’s heart.
» “. . . and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord” (II Peter 2:10-11). False prophets “walk according to the flesh”; their minds are primarily on physical things rather than the true things of God. God is not in all their thoughts (Psalm 10:4). They also despise authority—other than their own—and apparently think themselves superior even to God’s angels. They are presumptuous and self-willed, acting out of the dictates of their own hearts (or the influence of a demon) rather than following God with humility and trusting Him to bring His will to pass.
» “. . . having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness . . .” (II Peter 2:14-15). The apostle says false prophets have “eyes full of adultery.” While this may apply literally, it can also more generally describe unfaithfulness—a willingness to abandon an agreement if they feel it is in their interest to do so. They also worry little about resisting sin. Their hearts are especially trained in covetousness, and like Balaam, they are willing to do just about anything for personal gain.
» “While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage” (II Peter 2:19). They promise liberty—freedom, perhaps, from keeping God’s law or from persecution or tribulation—but they are themselves enslaved to sin.
Not every false prophet will have each of these characteristics, but as generalities, they describe men who are much more concerned about their own situation, well-being, reputation, autonomy, and position than about accurately representing God. We will know these men to be false by the overall fruits they produce, even as they speak clever words that may even contain a degree of truth. This is seen in Jesus’ warning in Matthew 7:15-20:
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. (emphasis ours)
Jesus does not spell out what “fruits” to look for, although in the Olivet Prophecy, He does link the deceptions of false prophets with the lawlessness and lack of love that abounds at the end time (Matthew 24:11-13). However, the rest of the Bible elucidates God’s character and nature, so we already have the tools to evaluate whether a message allegedly coming from God fits with what His Word reveals about Him. God is not double-minded; He will not contradict Himself.
“By Their Words . . .”
A false prophet, then, can be anyone who claims to be speaking for God, but whose message is contrary to God. False prophets will not convict people of sin, for they themselves do not feel convicted. While true prophets speak according to God’s law and testimony, false prophets speak soft, easy things to make them more popular. They will tell people what they want to hear.
A true prophet expresses the will of God with words. Sometimes signs, wonders, and foretelling are involved to add additional weight, but the most important part is the message. A true prophet points people to God and shows people their sins. False prophets point people to almost anything else. If they do try to point people to a god, it will be a different god from the God of the Bible. Whoever they point to, they do it for their own benefit.
Many false prophets simply point people to themselves. Their covetousness manifests itself in a desire for power, influence, control, prestige, or importance—the antithesis of being poor in spirit, meek, pure in heart, and mourning over their ungodly weaknesses. The true prophet does not draw attention to himself but to God. If a prophet or teacher spends a great deal of time talking about himself, it is a good indication just who his god is!
John the Baptist, the last Old Testament prophet, serves as a positive contrast. He undoubtedly knew what the angel Gabriel told his father, Zacharias (Luke 1:13-17), but there is no record of John promoting this remarkable story. His focus was not on proclaiming who he was, but on doing the work that God had given him to do. The fruit of his life and teaching reveals that he fulfilled the role of Elijah, which Jesus confirms. A false prophet, though, with his covetousness, presumption, and self-will, is more likely to end up spending a good deal of time talking about himself.
Other false prophets, like Balaam, are essentially in it only for the money, and so they will do what is necessary to ensure that the gold rolls in. The False Prophet in Revelation points the whole world to another man—the Beast. A true prophet would never suggest that a man be worshipped, with the exception of John the Baptist pointing the people to God’s Son, Jesus Christ. John pointed people to a Man who was also God, and thus worthy of worship.
Prophets are false when they fail to express God’s will accurately, and they fail because they are not in contact with the true God. The fruits of their lives and the meaning behind their words will indicate the source of their teaching. To paraphrase Jesus Christ, by their words they will be justified, or by their words they will be condemned (Matthew 12:37). If the words of a prophet are contrary to Scripture, contrary to God’s law, the prophet is false, and worthy of condemnation for leading people astray.

You aren’t reallly surprised are you? These “Christian Movie Stars” (as they see themselves) are above ALL accountability. There are so many stories like this you can’t begin to count. With these kinds of role models it’s no wonder our country is going down the tubes. Bisop this and prophetess that… I’m so sick of it all. Wake up people and get your own personal relationship with God in Christ and forget all these people who just want attention and want to be famous… all in the name of God. You all are right God will surely judge us ALL!!

You need to mind your own business just as the bible says in 1Thessalonians 4:11. We as christians always have something to say about what other people are doing especially if its against what we believe as saints, not as according to the bible. Because the bible also speaks against GOSSIP and things done against his annointed. Whether it is in deeds or in words. The bible says that if we confess our sins that god will forgive, so why can’t we forgive in the same manor. We are known as children of god by the love that is shown and right now a lot of you are not showing the love that we should. If the shoe was on the other foot we would want compassion for our situation. Stop this finger pointing like we have it all together. If you did you would have been already caught up like Elijah. How do you know who will be seen in hell or who will receive the wrath of god. If truth be told a lot of us are going receive the same judgement but our mess, its just not plastered all over the media. You are going off of one side, the side the media wants you to see. So you don’t know the whole truth and even if you say you do know the whole truth you have no grounds to do nothing but pray for restoration. He may owe God and Juanita but he owes you nothing. Get a life and a relationship. And you better learn to keep your mouth off of GOD’S annointed. Take a lesson from David.

JB,
In other word: Bury your head in the sand.
Make no comment. The babies and the confused will have to work it out theirselves without any help. Everyone must be silent. When anyone does anything, never comment. Whoa! If Paul and Peter, let alone Jesus had taken your advice, we would not have a Bible. Life happens. Silence is consent. We will be commenting and analyzing. It is here on tv and internet (Who put it there?) for our learning. Especially when they post it publicly wanting us to look at it.
You can always tell when something is not right. If you take your own advice, you won’t speak about those who of us who are upset. You will just be silent and go into your closet and pray for us.
Saul was king. David was in his kingdom. He respected God’s anointing. Samuel had anointed Saul king. He did not put his hands on him. No one has put his hands on any of them, except T. Weeks put his hands on Prophetess Bynum.
People want to know the truth. They have questions. To say this group is above questioning is worldly thinking. It’s carnal. Jesus said that many would come in His name. We can’t talk about who they are? No one says they are going to hell. They may, or they may not. According to you, anyone with a title, no matter if they are continuing in sin and put their life on tv and internet, nothing can be said and no one can talk.
So let’s all strive to get a title, and then we can all sin, and no one can say anything, and no one can question. God will get us. That is the kind of false doctrine that keeps the wicked in control, and the people under control of the wicked.
Who are the real leaders? People want to know. Who are the true men and women of God?
“What will the people say about me?” stops some people from committing adultery, fornication, stealing, doing drugs and a lot more. When no one says anything about it sin escalates and causes a lot more harm to more people. People need to speak out against sin. Accountability is important.
As for repentance, people need to know how to repent. When things appear arrogant and cold hearted, it is most likely because they are. Repentance is done in a fashion of humility. A broken heart and a contrite spirit. Not a ‘don’t say nothing to me–I am God’s anointed’ or a ‘Ha, ha, look at me now’ spirit.
It’s time to get real with God and with the church. It’s time to be true to the word of God and stop making up fables and substituting them for the word. It is the world who puts people above other people. If Paul or Peter had done wrong they would be accountable to the church. Let’s deal with what is in the Bible and not something some wolves have made up to be their covering.

No that’s not what i’m saying jesus and paul and silas said what they had to say to the faces of the people they had the problem with but at the same time they considered themselves. This mess that we as saints do is not to the people its behind there back,Gossip. If you have a word that strong call them up and tell them, You Bad. Pay a visit to their church, write it in a letter. But no we’d rather talk about them like this. you are not GOD. Somethimes what God allows is not always what we like but he’s God he can do whatever he wants. and just like anyone, we all have errored in some way, the whole world is just not aware of it. Is this how we draw souls to christ by blogging and talking about our brother and sister in christ. Ye which are spiritual RESTORE. We are not RESTORING we are Gossiping. i know what every one else seems to be doing is wrong and it looks like God is not doing anything about it but God is a God of wrath and blessing, but he is also a God of love. No i’m not saying don’t stand up and say nothing, i’m saying fight it spiritually not with your hurting words. PRAY saints of GOD…. PRAY….. Have you tried that. Talk to the one that can reach when you can’t. No we haven’t done that but we sure have shot them down. All i’m saying is we need to be more about our father’s business and not tending to everyone elses. You talking about REAL LEADERS forget a leader how about a REAL SAINT….. Try THAT…. I love God and God’s people and i believe that God can deliver and fix any situation. We have to love people thru this stuff not step on them and push them away. There is great falling away as the bible speaks of but we still have a work to do.

And another thing Just like Saul(god’s annointed) Got his just reward and David said nothing and killed those that killed (God’s Annointed). God will do it in his own time.

Even if you say something directly to them (and I am sure someone has) the people and the babies are still in confusion. It is not all about the leaders. It is about the confused people too. They do not know what is right and wrong. People are not gossiping for the sake of telling a story. People are upset at the erosion of the church order.
When people are upset they sound off–they talk and try to get understanding. People are hurt, and they are allowed to talk about it. When people come out of their closet from praying about it, then they are going to talk about it some more, with more understanding, and help people sort it out. Things that happen, happen for a reason. “Everyone shut up, they are above speaking about” is not the answer. Everyone have mercy and be glad this has shined the light on many situations some others are going through. There are going to be women who will think twice about marrying men who might have envy issues concerning their ministry–they will see how that can blow up. There are going to be some men who think twice about putting their hands on women. There are going to be some people who think twice about posting their business on the internet. Some couples will go to counseling before getting married now. And some will wait to get married a little bit longer. All in all, somebody will be helped. But if no one is allowed to speak, no healing can take place. Infection will set in.
All sides can speak–the side that says they are just wrong–the side that says have mercy–the side that says this and that. But those that get in their closet and pray will have a better answer. But they will have an answer–not silence because who does silence help? It’s not all about self.
If they wanted silence they would not have their pictures posted on the internet.
[ September 24th, 2009 at 8:02 am ]
And another thing: John and Paul said what they had to say about who they talked about when they were not there too. They told who to avoid and why. They said some were false brethren, and talked about them and what they did. Those people were not in attendance there necessarily. It is not about being “bad.” It does not matter whether they are there or not. Speak the truth. It is about the listeners God wants to protect too.
Sometimes we have beliefs we do not know where they came from. Someone who said be silent about everything–who said that? Who said people are not allowed to speak? How do you know why they said that? Had they just done something? Surely we don’t want anyone saying anything when we are guilty. So let’s have mercy. But remember not to be self-righteous about not speaking when we don’t have any word for it. If God told you not to speak–then don’t speak. But if He has given someone else another instruction, so be it.
[ September 24th, 2009 at 11:44 am ]
And God still has the final say not us. That’s all i got. Be Blessed. Peace
[ September 25th, 2009 at 8:17 am ]
To add to this discussion:
In 1 Corinthians 5 Paul was concerned with the church allowing immorality to go on in it. So it is not enough just to rebuke the person, which Paul said he already judged. But here Paul targets the church with the accusation. He rebukes them for tolerating wickedness and allowing such such things to go on inside the church.
We today say people can do such things and be our leaders. We have come such a long way from the true vision of the church.
We can have mercy, but think about our babies and the future of the church too.
[ September 27th, 2009 at 10:55 pm ]
I agree with the points of view of everyone on here….we can see both sides to the situation….
First off, I don’t recall seeing Mr. Weeks showing any sign of remorse over what happened between him and Juanita B. To stomp on someone shows an intense rage and disgust and disrespect…you stomp on garbage…… I don’t know what she did to cause him to react in that way, but no true man of God, filled with the Holy Spirit of our great God would react in that way…There is just no way….Because the God in him or the true God that is supposed to be in him would not allow that….
Secondly, I don’t recall (and he may have, but i just never came across it) him confessing that he’s sinned against God and Juanita B openly. Even David had the good sense, when confronted with his sin, to repent and get it right with God….We are human beings and we will make mistakes, but as soon as you recognize your mistake you get on your face before God and whomever you wronged and make it right. These are true signs of repentance…I don’t recall seeing this from him….
It is as if he has no respect for God….(i also question if Juanita heard from God in the first place about marrying him - if they both really heard from God - cuz I just can’t see our God giving his stamp of approval on a marriage that ended that way….God wants marriages to last….he’s the author of it…he performed, as it were, the first marriage ceremony with Adam and Eve…and if we’re truly listening to him and following his path, he guides our steps…so, i’m not sure if they heard from God in the first place)……..back to Mr. Weeks (i really can’t call him a Bishop - his behavior from what is seen and heard does not exemplify that office)….i really believe he needs to take some time and seek the face of God…try to get back into the right relationship with God and get your ministry and yourself restored properly….this situation is still too fresh…..and i can understand the hurt and disappointment of the christian community..yes, we must not judge lest we be judged, but even the Bible gave permission to judge at times….Paul, encouraged the people of one of the churches (can’t recall right now) to not put up with nonesense in the body…I believe it was where a man was sleeping with his father’s wife….clearly he was saying certain things should not be encouraged….
Show some form of remorse/repentance - true repentance……
I have to seriously question if Ms. Glenn also is hearing from God concerning this matter….I’m not saying that Mr. Weeks will be an outcast in the Christian community forever or in God’s eyes…Because our God is a forgiving God, especially for his children…especially when they’re truly repentant…..God can truly turn things around and restore Mr. Weeks and Ms. Bynum’s lives (not necessarily them being together again) for his honor and his glory….
I really hope Ms. Glenn knows what she’s doing and has truly sought the face of God concerning this matter….I would hate to see this situation repeating itself…She seems like a beautiful young woman and her preaching seems on point, but so did Juanita B’s….
I believe the christian community or the majority of it would have been a little bit more forgiving if Mr. Weeks would have acted differently….acted more humble…..asked for forgiveness openly and really just admitted that a mistake was made and reached out for the community to bring them both before the Lord and see what God can turn around…..maybe he did this, but I haven’t seen that from what i’ve read and seen videos of…..
I am praying for Mr. Weeks and his fiance as well as Ms. Bynum……
I pray that Ms. Bynum will be fully restored and get back to where she was in God, doing what she’s called to do…..I pray that they will all truly seek forgiveness for the parts they played in this whole situation and then forgiveness in each other….
This is serious…..we are truly in those last days the Bible talks about…
Praying for them all that they will seek the face of God and God will turn this situation around and it will be a testimony for him…..
We can do all things through Christ who gives us the strength to do it, if we do it God’s way….
Time will reveal all….

Greetings!
For the sake of God’s Glory I will not profane His name by using my mouth to spew venom against anyone. I will however point out God’s Word. All things are to be assessed and judged by HIS word..
Proverbs 18:22 - Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
In contrast to the word - does conducting a nationwide reality TV wife search constitute finding a wife according to the will of God? What motivation does the Christian have to do reality TV other than to bring attention to oneself? This call for the next whoever, sounds more like the actions of the Persian pagan King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) who had all the maidens rounded up to himself to choose a wife in the stead of Vashti. Hadassah (Esther) was chosen for the purposes of setting the enslaved people of God free. Freedom was not in the heart and mind of Xerxes (Xerxes was in the heart and mind of Xerxes). He was humiliated so the protocol of their pagan kingdom called for retaliation and punishment of Vashti and it called for a replacement to save the face of the King - not necessarily the Kingdom.
My prayer is that the Body of Christ will strip themselves of false coverings and false traditions - calling them God and stripping God’s Kingdom of its integrity. My question is this - who’s thinking about the Kingdom and the souls of the lost really?
Has the Body of Christ become so consumed with themselves, their agenda and their thing that they are blind to the spirit of the World - the abomination of Desolation standing in the pulpit that it cannot see it’s wicked - that it cannot see that it looks just like the WORLD!!
My heart is crying over foolishness and wickedness prevailing in the church. She has been defiled, desecrated and torn asunder - yet in the wake of her hemorrhaging the people who are supposed to be called by HIS name find time to publicly humiliate one another and label it a God thing.
Oh wicked and perverse generation. Oh daughter who has defiled herself with the filthiness of all filthiness. How you call upon me and fantasize about your lovers. You approach me oh filthy daughter and make of me wicked request. You desire that I engage in Ménage à trois with you and your other lovers. I daughter AM a jealous God. I will not share you with another. I will not continue to stand by as you birth strange babies - birthed out of strange doctrine and strange practice. I the Lord AM not pleased and in the months, week, days, minutes and seconds to come I will show forth my Glory. My hand shall come upon the wicked and those who profane my name. All will know and see. All shall hear and be astounded - many shall see and know the truth. My Word shall not be profaned. I will not allow my Bride to be tainted by Carnality and Foolishness.
Repent says God. Repent says the Lord and know that my judgment comes quickly. Strip yourselves of this foolishness and follow hard after me. Follow after my WORD and purpose in the Earth. Follow! For if you follow I will be gracious to forgive. Gracious to bless and gracious to extend my arms for I love you. I desire to have you close to me. I desire your affection. I desire you attention says God. Turn now to me and remember no more the reproach of your past. Remember no more the reproach of this wicked and perverse generation. Fall on your face. Repent and know that I the Lord seek those who will WORSHIP ME in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. I the LORD SEEK TRUE WORSHIPPERS. True servants with the WORD of LOVE, COMPASSION and TRUTH on their lips - not slander, abuse and backbiting. This says the sovereign Lord and Master - Ruler of Heaven and Earth - the Mighty Redeemer of all.
People of God it is time for the church to strip itself of carnality and it’s worldly identification. It is time for the church to regain her true power. The Bride cannot effect change in the earth, in the government or in the community with so much concentration on foolishness.
In considering this situation and many other high profile issues in the Body of Christ - ask yourself one question. Does it line up with the WORD? If it doesn’t - it’s not God. I don’t care how cute, how romantic, how compassionate, passionate and wonderful it might appear on the outset - if it does not bear witness to the HOLY SPIRIT - it is a deception and the enemy is deceiving many with his ability to divine and appear as an angel of light. Truth is there are many on the way to be excluded from the eternal promise of God though they have healed in HIS name, prophesied in HIS name and the like in HIS name.
Here’s a word of wisdom - False apostles and false prophets have the ability to give a true word. How? The bible declares that the gifts and callings of God are without repentance: meaning you can operate in that gift without having to be righteous. What makes them false is their adherence to the word of God. One must be versed in the word to know the subtle differences between that which is true and false because the enemies job is to deceive and not make himself readily recognizable. There are many out there now that look like God, speak like God, dress the part (whatever that is) and God is no where in them.
Be careful. Be watchful and above all things. Hear God. I would hope that both Bishop Week and Prophetess Bynum can move on with their lives accordingly. It hurts to see two people obviously anointed by God behave immaturely in public. It hurts even more to see that someone could write a book to slander someone else and slap God on top of it. Here’s the truth - in the end this thing became more about the persons and not about God. If it were there would have been more discretion.
Proverbs 5:2 - That you may exercise proper discrimination and discretion and your lips may guard and keep knowledge and the wise answer [to temptation].

People judging is not the issue…
No wonder God is being mocked by unbelievers all the time….because the people who are in the forefront “representing” God is involved in all kinds of mess….No wonder people don’t want to come to God based on what they’re seeing on tv…..it’s sad that the world don’t get to see a lot of the true men and women of God out there who are living good, exemplary lives..not perfect, but sincere….
It’s not about judging, but speaking out against things that are not right…if you know you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing as a child of God and you’re in the public eye, you need to be a little bit more careful about how you live your life…..yes, we are all human beings and we will make mistakes but we’ve also got to remember that the world is watching…..
How about judging ourselves so we don’t have to be judged….everything is clearly written out in the word of God…..even Paul said in the Bible we need to judge certain things….
When christians sit back and remain quiet about certain issues, what we are saying is that certain behaviors are acceptable…and all we need to do is not judge them and leave them to God…which in a way is true, but too many issues concerning pastors are coming out now and to sit back and say nothing about it, is not right…..silence says a lot….maybe when more christians speak out it will cause a lot of the pastors and people to start getting themselves together and realize that God is watching as well as the world….we as christians are supposed to be leading people closer to God not pushing them away by living certain lifestyles and sending mixed messages….we are confusing people…….
We all need to search ourselves….people read one thing in the Bible and then they see “Christians” doing something else….this leaves people wondering if this God thing is really right…
People will see this situation from many different levels…some will say we need not judge because we are not perfect ourselves…some will say this is wrong and need to be addressed….whichever way, we need to ask is God pleased with the representation He has through us?

God warns us to beaware of false prophets : Mathew 7′15
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. False prophets can be sweet and gentle when you first meet them, some will even give you good prophecies, but beware do’nt even let the outward personality fool you because when they find out that they cannot control you, those nice prophecies change suddenly they start to disturb your spirit and you become unconfortable. when you start to feel a controlling attitute it is time to move on.
Gods word tells us not to seek after a prophet because he is watching us.many are running after a word looking all over for a prophet. False prophet will defile you. When a prophet happens to cross your path and give you a word do’nt even dwell on.
Lametation chapter 2 verse12 Reads :Your “prophets” have said so many foolish things, false to the core. They did not try to hold you back from exile by pointing out your sins. Instead, they painted false pictures, filling you with false hope.
My daughter came home from shopping and she told me that a lady approached her and said “you are going to be a prophet”. I told my daughter do not dwell on go on with your day. And if it comes to pass I told her that God will reveal him to her.

The Body of Christ has to pray one for another and love each other no matter what. We are fighting a common enemy in different areas and the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much. Let us pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ considering ourselves also because all our righteousness is like filthy rags and he that is without sin cast the first stone. Let us pray for them in love ask God to have His way because it is not God’s desire for any to perish and if a wicked man repents of his sins all his wickedness will not be remembered. Let’s be our brother’s keeper and let God be the judge. God Bless!!!

Its not that we do’nt love our brothers and sister in Christ, is just that it is mucy
violence in marriages and relationships. And if we can warn Chrsitina Glenn if
of satan deception we just might be saving her from danger may even her very
life. Oprha and other Psychologist reached out Rhianna when she was abused
by Christ brown by warning her to get away from him and let him seek help.
You have to look at this as if this is your Daughter; what would your do? And if we can
keep someone from entering hell total damanation this what the Lord would want us
to do. God said that the saint will judge the world but he would judge the adulterers
and the fornicators.
Ms Christina Glenn already amitted that she was abused in one of her marriages.
type on the computer divorce and remarriage you will find out that many people who remarry
are still in adulter according to the scriptures. People have been married 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, times
If people would listen and obey Gods word amagine what would happen.
1. There would be no divorces
2, You would not have children by different husbands
3. A man would not have to two and three families accross town
3. Men would not have to worry about paying child support like they do because they would take care of there children
4. Wives would not have catch diseases from there cheating spouses because there husband would faithful
5. women would trust there husband around there female friends
6. Men and women would love each like christ loves the church
This is whay God said let every man have one wife and every wife have one husband so that there would peace.

Divorce And Remarriage:
What Does the Bible Teach about Who May Divorce and Remarry?
Divorce and remarriage have become common as civil law allows no-fault divorce. A husband or wife may dissolve a marriage for almost any grounds and remarry, regardless of the will of their spouse. The result is that many people marry without considering the teaching of the Bible. Is fornication (or adultery) the only Scriptural grounds for divorce, or does the gospel allow marriage to be dissolved for other grounds? Please consider this careful study of the Biblical teaching.
Introduction:
Many forces in society defend the practice of easy divorce.
Divorce laws in America are so lax that almost anyone can dissolve a marriage and remarry at any time for any reason. With “no-fault” divorce, a husband or wife can claim “incompatibility” or “irreconcilable differences” and get a divorce no matter how much their spouse objects.
What is right or wrong is determined by the Creator of the Universe.
Men will be judged according to whether or not we have conformed our lives to His will (John 12:48). Man’s will often differs from God’s (Prov. 14:12; Isa. 55:8,9; 2 Cor. 10:12,18; Lk. 16:15,18). Since the Bible reveals God’s will, we must learn what it says about divorce and remarriage (2 Tim. 3:16,17; 1 Cor. 14:37; Eph. 3:3-5; 2 Pet. 1:21).
——————————————————————————–
Part I: Does the Bible Say Divorce and Remarriage Is Moral or Immoral?
——————————————————————————–
A. The General Teaching of the New Testament Is that Divorce is Contrary to God’s Will, and that Remarriage Following Divorce Constitutes Adultery.
Note that there is one exception to this general rule, which we will discuss later. At this point we are discussing the general rule. The following passages present this teaching:
Matthew 19:3-9 (cf. Mark 10:2-12; Luke 16:18)
Jesus was asked whether divorce can properly be obtained for just any reason a person might have. He answered by appealing to the original marriage law.
Jesus taught that divorce itself, in general, is contrary to God’s will. God made one man for one woman, indicating He did not intend for either to marry anyone else. He said they should cleave to one another and the two become one - there is no room in God’s plan for a third party. God joins the man and woman, no human has the right to break that bond.
Further, whoever divorces his wife and marries again commits adultery (unless he does it because she has been guilty of fornication), and whoever marries her who has been divorced also commits adultery. (Mk. 10 adds that this rule also applies to the woman if she divorces her husband.)
To help understand the passage, read it with your name and your spouse’s name, instead of “whosoever,” etc.
Matthew 19:9 - If ____________ (you) divorces __________ (his wife), except for fornication, and marries another, _________________ (you) commits adultery; and whoever marries ___________ (her who is divorced) commits adultery.”
Matthew 5:31,32
One who puts away his wife (for some cause other than fornication) causes her to commit adultery. This assumes that she remarries as described in the last part of the verse and as implied in the previous verse (the purpose of the “bill of divorcement” according to the law was so she could become another man’s wife - Deut. 24:1ff).
By divorcing his wife, the husband puts her in the position where she is strongly tempted to remarry and if she does remarry, Jesus says she is guilty of adultery and so is the man she marries (in contrast to the Mosaic Law which tolerated the remarriage). Hence, the divorce itself is wrong and should be avoided. [Cf. Matt. 18:6,7]
Romans 7:2,3
A married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. This means that if she is married to another man while her first husband is alive, she is guilty of adultery. She is free to remarry without guilt only if her husband is dead.
(Some ask what “law” is this that joins the man and woman - God’s law or man’s law? It is the law which, when violated, makes the woman an adulteress. Clearly this must be God’s law, and this conforms to what is taught elsewhere.)
1 Corinthians 7:10,11
A married woman should not depart from her husband nor he from her. Again, divorce itself is not the will of God.
But if she departs (if divorce has occurred), she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. Clearly remarriage is not a scriptural alternative.
(Note: “depart” here is the same word elsewhere translated “put asunder” - Matt. 19:6; Mk. 10:9: The result of the action is that the woman is “unmarried.”)
The teaching of the gospel on this point is unpopular with most people. Many people don’t want to hear it preached. Jesus’ own disciples considered it very strict (Matt. 19:10-12), still Jesus did not compromise it or apologize for it. He continued to teach and defend it and so must we.
B. To Apply These Passages Properly, We Must Understand Why the Second Marriage Is Forbidden and Why It Is Called “Adultery.”
God clearly has the right to forbid any act if He so chooses, but it helps us apply the teaching when we understand His reasons for forbidding an act. What reason does God give for declaring the second marriage sinful, and why does He call it “adultery”?
Malachi 2:14-16
God hates putting away (v16). Again, divorce is contrary to God’s will. Why? Because marriage is a covenant between a man and his wife (v14). God is a witness to that covenant, and He holds men to it (v14). If a man violates the covenant, he is dealing treacherously with his wife and God will hold him accountable. [Prov. 2:17; Ezek. 16:8]
Though this is an Old Testament passage, it helps us learn the definition of marriage, which has not changed. Marriage is, by God’s definition, a solemn mutual agreement between a man and woman to live together as husband and wife. God holds them to that covenant bond and will not free them from it, even if people declare them to be free.
Remember this! The whole foundation of New Testament teaching regarding divorce rests on God’s attitude toward marriage. When people weaken the barriers against divorce, they are weakening respect for marriage. Divorce matters because it destroys a marriage, and marriage is very important to God. Any view of divorce, which fails to respect marriage as God respects it, must be an unscriptural view.
This is why Jesus, in answering a question about divorce and remarriage, appealed to God’s original intent regarding marriage (Matt. 19:3-9). God will respect and enforce His law regarding it, even when men disregard it!
Hebrews 13:4
The marriage covenant includes the right and obligation to have the sexual union only with the companion with whom we have a Scriptural marriage covenant. To have relations with anyone else is “fornication” or “adultery.”
This too is part of the marriage covenant as God defines it. Marriage gives a man and his wife the right to the sexual union, but only with their lawful spouse.
[Ezek. 23; Jer. 3; Prov. 5:15-20; 6:29,32; 7:18-20; Ezek. 16:32; 1 Cor. 7:1-9].
Romans 7:2,3
In this marriage covenant, the woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives (cf. 1 Cor. 7:39). The marriage “bond” is a lifetime covenant commitment, and God holds people to the commitment they made, even if later they try to break it.
Note that the passage says a woman may be “bound” to one man, but “married” to another man! The “bond” refers to the marriage covenant that God holds you to. “Marriage” refers to the relationship you are living in as recognized by civil law and society. The two may be the same, but not necessarily. In this case, the woman was “bound” to one man but “married” to a completely different man!
That is why a woman is guilty of adultery if she is married to another man. Adultery, by definition, refers to sexual intercourse between two people, one of whom is bound by a marriage covenant to somebody else [see definitions in notes on Matt. 19:9].
This woman is an “adulteress” because she has been joined in a marriage covenant with one man, and God holds her to that covenant for life. But she is having sexual relations with another man, and that, by definition, is adultery. This passage defines adultery for us!
Note that anytime she has sexual relations with a man other than her scriptural mate it is adultery - as long as her first companion is living, the passage says. Whether she has just a single act of intercourse, or has an “affair” involving a number of adulterous acts over a period of time, or whether it is a second marriage to another man - in any case every time she has sexual union with another man the passage says she is guilty of adultery.
This is “adultery” because the woman is Scripturally committed to have the sexual union only with one man as long as he lives, but instead she is having it with another man. This is why it is proper to refer to the second marriage as “adulterous” or “living in adultery,” just as it would be if she were living with him but not married to him (Col. 3:5-7).
Matthew 19:3-9
What reason is given why remarriage is forbidden and why it is called “adultery”? Because God declared man and woman should cleave to one another. He joins them (by witnessing their marriage covenant and holding them to it). He forbids their changing their mind and says no man can put their marriage asunder.
So, if man puts away his wife and marries another, the second marriage is “adultery” because he is having the sexual union with a second wife while God still holds him obligated to his covenant to have the sexual union only with his first wife.
Note again: the terms “marry” and “divorce” (or “put away,” and also “husband” and “wife”) as used here and elsewhere, refer to the relationship as viewed by society and the law of the land. In a first marriage, both God and society recognize the marriage commitment to exist between the man and woman. They are both “married” in the eyes of society and “joined” (”bound”) in the eyes of God.
Society and civil law may then grant them a “divorce” (not for fornication) and they may “marry” again. Society and civil law then views them as free from their first marriage and entered into a second one, and the Bible calls this “divorced” (”put away”) and “married” again. But though God uses these terms as society does, He does not recognize the divorce as making a valid end to the covenant commitment that He recognized in the first marriage. God still considers them “bound” or “joined” or held accountable for the commitment of the first marriage (v6).
There is a definite distinction between the covenant commitment (bond) which God recognizes and the divorce and marriage which civil law recognizes. (cf. Mk. 6:17,18)
Again, the second marriage is “adultery” because the person is still joined in God’s eyes to his/her first spouse, but they are having a sexual relationship with a second spouse. That is adultery, and it will continue to be adultery every time they have the sexual relationship, because God has still “joined” them to their first spouse and He will not “put asunder” that bond.
1 Corinthians 7:10,11
This explains why, if a woman divorces her husband, she still has no right to remarry. She may get divorced in the eyes of civil law, and God calls it “divorce” and says she is now “unmarried.” But that does not free her from her bond or covenant obligation to her first husband. Since she is still bound to her first marriage covenant, her only choice then is to be reconciled to her husband (the one God recognizes) or else remain unmarried.
Sexual relationship outside of a Scriptural marriage bond constitutes fornication (v2-5). Hence, if the woman divorces and remarries, that second marriage, as long as it lasted and as long as her first husband was still alive, would constitute adultery.
Understanding these principles will be vital to reaching proper applications and answers to other questions we will deal with.
[Note that adultery involves a sexual act - John 8:4; Heb. 13:4; Prov. 6:20-35. It is not just the act of divorcing and remarrying that is adultery.]
C. God Allows an Exception to the General Rule When One’s Spouse Has Been Guilty of Fornication.
This exception is clearly stated in Matthew 19:9 (and 5:32).
“Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery” (”saving for the cause of fornication” - Matt. 5:32).
The question originally asked Jesus concerned the grounds or cause for which a man may divorce his wife (v3). In v9 Jesus clearly says there is no acceptable cause except if ones companion has been guilty of fornication.
Unlike the Mosaic Law, which Jesus admits tolerated divorce and remarriage for other causes, Jesus’ teaching allows one and only one cause.
Note that the only one who is granted the right to divorce and remarry without being guilty of sin is the one who has been sinned against by his/her companion who committed fornication.
What is fornication?
Definitions: “illicit sexual intercourse in general” (Thayer); “every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse” (Arndt and Gingrich). Fornication includes any form of sexual intercourse with anyone other than ones scriptural spouse, regardless of whether that person be of the opposite sex or of the same sex. Note passages that explain the meaning:
1 Corinthians 7:2-5 - To avoid fornication, one is to satisfy the sexual desire with and only with “his own wife” or “her own husband.” Our own marriage companion is the only one who has power over our body. If we satisfy this desire with anyone else, the passage says it would be fornication, whether it be with someone we are not married to, someone else’s husband or wife, or someone else of the same sex (i.e., homosexuality). (See also Heb. 13:4).
Jude 7 - Sodom and Gomorrah gave themselves over to fornication. But Gen. 19 shows this refers to homosexuality (men wanted to lie with men, not with women) ["and going after strange flesh" has the significance of even going after...]. Therefore, homosexuality is a form of fornication, and would be scriptural grounds for one’s companion to obtain a divorce and remarry.
Some say fornication would not include adultery (i.e., the case in which one who is married has relations with someone not their spouse). But the following passages use “fornication” to include extra-marital sex: 1 Cor. 5:1; Amos 7:17; Ezek. 16:8,15,26,29; Jer. 3:6,8. Jesus used “fornication” in order to include, not just extra-marital sex, but also premarital sex and homosexuality - any form of illicit sexual intercourse.
When a man and woman marry, they make a covenant to have the sexual relationship only with one another and with no one else (of the same or opposite sex) as long as they both shall live. If one companion violates that covenant by having sexual relations with any person other than their own spouse, he/she has violated the marriage covenant in such a way that God grants their partner the right to divorce them and remarry.
The New Testament teaching regarding divorce and remarriage can be summarized like this: When a man and woman marry, they enter into a lifetime covenant in which God binds or joins them, holding them accountable to keep this covenant. If there is a divorce for some cause other than fornication, God’s will is violated; and if either or both remarry, the second marriage relationship(s) is (are) adultery because God still holds the people bound to the first marriage commitment. If during the first marriage, however, one companion commits fornication, then the other companion may choose to obtain a divorce and remarry without sin.
——————————————————————————–
Part II: Does the Teaching of Jesus Regarding Divorce and Remarriage Apply to People Outside the Church?
——————————————————————————–
Some people believe that Jesus’ teaching regarding divorce and remarriage was addressed only to those who are in covenant relationship with Him (disciples, Christians, members of His church). It does not apply to people outside the church since they are not citizens in Christ’s kingdom, not members of the body of which He is the head, etc.
It is argued that people outside Christ are condemned because they have not subjected themselves to Christ or because they have violated God’s universal moral law; but until they become Christians, God does not notice or hold them accountable for violations of specific New Testament teachings such as divorce laws.
So it is concluded that, no matter how many times such people divorce and remarry before they become Christians, when they are baptized they just keep the companion they have then. But consider the following points:
A. Jesus Is Lord over All Men, Not Just Those in the Church.
Jesus is not just Head of the church or King of His kingdom. There are other positions He holds that show that all men are obligated to obey Him. He is:
Jesus is God (Deity)
John 1:1,14; 20:28,29; Phil. 2:6-8; Col. 2:9. If He possesses Deity

Christina, I believe is making a big mistake. She says she has “heard” from God. Well, the blble clearly says a bishop should have 1, uno, one wife. Who she’s listening to is flesh, flash and a man that has enthraled, and swooned her with his words. If you ever listen to him he never answers a question straight forward. Thomas has to “impress” you with his ability to use every word in the dictionary. Clearly, this this man has missed his true calling, he really should be a politician, businessman and a lawyer because he surely is full of boo boo.
Where he should have been is in jail instead of getting married.

[ October 14th, 2009 at 6:31 am ]
There are more important things than Christina and Thomas that demands the attention and requires the intercession of the church, let’s focus on the dying world and our nation that is given to everything that is an abomination to God and let’s fall on our faces and begin to pray for the restoration of the Church, deliverance of mankind and that we will be truly ready and waiting for the coming of Christ. It’s time to pray!!!
[ October 14th, 2009 at 2:43 pm ]
I am so glad that when I messed up, God gave me another chance… Glory! God has the final word over our lives…. You don’t have a heaven or hell to put any one in… You don’t really know all the facts… Just pray for them and God will take care of the rest.. Touch not God’s anointed…do thy prophet no harm…. Remember… make sure that you are doing all for the Glory of God…. Let’s love one another….. Ye without sin, cast the first stone…
[ October 14th, 2009 at 2:50 pm ]
TEJ, Yes, we must always pray but we also can not close our eyes to the injustices in the world and especially in the pulpits now a days. I often say that black people are so brainwashed and conditioned to not speak against the pastor that is just pathetic.
Christians, I believe, on Sundays leave their brains at the front door of the church and walk in sooooooooo gulible for the lies and deceit from some of these charlatains in the pulpit. We will not do to hell for calling out and confronting these men and women.
Yes, God will deal with them and us but christians need to stop accepting just anything that we are told call them out and put them OUT of God’s house and stop being affraid of these nuts. Study to show thyself approved.
[ October 14th, 2009 at 3:04 pm ]
Why do some christians say that we are judging when we point out the sin so others want follow in their foot steps.
didnt God say warn them of their sins. Prophetess Christian Glenn need a wake up called so she want repeat the same mistake of being abused, and from being adulterous.
Do’nt you that the saint will judge the world
1Corinthian 6″2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters
Perhaps the reason why so many are in agreement with this mariage is because maybe themselves are guility of the same sin this would explain there argument are they really do’nt know Gods marriage covenant. But if this is the case one should carefuly consider reading and studying the bible on divorce and remariage. Jesus is soon to come the bible is being fulfilled at a fast pace. Many people think there are to going heaven by saying “I know heaven is my home” or “I know I’m going to heaven” When God tells us other wise by saying
Luke 21″36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. This is what I pray every time I think about it because I need God to keep me and for him help live a holy and to teach righteousnes. If someone was to rebuke me by keeping from going to hell I would be most grateful. Rebuke is not a harsh word when you do it in love.
Because 1Peter chapter 4 verse 18 Read: If the righteous scaresly be saved where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear.

We don’t close our eyes to certain things and allow people to think that it is okay….Many changes come around when someone chooses to stand up and speak out against certain issues….

[ October 14th, 2009 at 3:30 pm ]
Cont’d…
Most times the only representatives of God the world sees are the ones on television and some of the ones on television aren’t doing too great a job……So the world sees that and mocks God and mocks Christian….
If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything…..
It’s sad how some people see the foolishness taking place concerning pastors and the body of Christ and all they say is we should pray and not judge….
This is not right…even the world, when they see wrong things happening they stand up for what is right…they have rallies and hold up signs and express their disgust at certain things…Yet “christians” would say let’s not judge….let’s leave it to God….
My thing is this, we all have a Bible and can read…a lot of what’s in the Bible is plainly written…
Sadly the world sees things like this and that’s why they don’t want our God and our Christ….

To Earlie, all true believers are aware to what is going on in the church as not everyone who says Lord, Lord will enter I just believe there are more important issues in the world and in christendom to be discussed other than Bishop Weeks and Prophetess Glenn we just pray and leave it to God and I don’t believe they are pastoring anyone of us so what they do should not be so much our concerned we are called to pray we can post a thousand discusssions God has to deal with them and the prayer of the righteous availeth much it’s prayer that changes things not bashing, fault-finding and scripture exalting. The devil knows the word, pray with a heart of compassion sincerely for the Body that God will deliver his people when one Christian fall the entire Body of Christ is tarnished so we must pray and leave the rest to Jehovah He is the only one who can turn things around!!!

Why do we not preach about remarrying while the other spouse is alive as much as offering?
He that finds a wife finds a good thing but ONE wife! It never said “WIVES”.
Let me hope that after wife 3 that he has taken time to examine himself. Ask himself, am I being a goat when God made me a sheep? What is God trying to deal with in you that you have been avoiding?
I will not judge or condemn but let me hope that something said here will be taken seriously based on biblical principles. Juanita barely got out of his bed. Excuse my bluntness.
Mr Weeks, please try Holy-wood and get out of Hollywood. Continue with all this royal Bday bash and reality show “Next Mrs Weeks” stuff will bring the wrath of God on you! How many prophetesses do you one want to go through? How many wives do you want? I beg you, I never want to think of you as Bishop whore or any such distasteful names.

I ‘m just glad Bishop was able to find love after this crazy aftermath with that snake Juanita, Christina seems like a beautiful person
she’s not after money , nor does she appear to be in the ministry for the wrong reason

With all the talk about Bishop being remarried and the apparaent violataion of the Word of God on more than one wife, I wonder how God is going to judge David and the Old Testament folks for having more than one wife. Would you guys say that David and those poor souls are destined for hell? If not, what is the difference from them and Mr. Week
[ October 20th, 2009 at 3:35 pm ]
Tryagain,
The difference is that this is the church. The bishop is to be the husband of one wife, and not a striker. Paul said it:
1 Timothy 3
1This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

I FOUND THIS ON A CHRISTIAN BLOG
A prophecy for Bishop Thomas Weeks III of Global Destiny Churches
I asked God about Bishop Thomas Weeks III last night, the estranged husband of ‘prophetess’ Juanita Bynum. I had an open mind as to what God might say, despite all the negative media coverage of him allegedly beating his wife and also allegedly beating and stamping on and choking a worker at his church eight months before (which was allegedly covered up by Juanita Bynum and other workers.)
I asked God about him and then saw in a vision ‘Mene mene tekel upharsin’ - the words that were supernaturally written on the wall before Belshazzar, co-regent of the Babylonian Empire, the same night his kingdom fell. (This is described in the Book of Daniel). The words of the writing on the wall symbolize that God had “weighed” Belshazzar’s kingdom and found it wanting.
God says that the writing is on the wall for Bishop Weeks III in the modern sense of the expression as well as the old.
It should be noted that these strange words - ’Mene mene tekel upharsin’ – are all the names of measures related to money - therefore it also indicates where Weeks’ true heart and motives lie.
* * *
Later on, I saw Bishop Weeks again in another vision. This time, every time he spoke, it was like un unclean hiccough was coming out of his mouth, and this hiccough was a lie. He could not speak the truth, and every time something came out of his mouth it was a lie. He does not love righteousness or live in the light, God says. The Holy Spirit told me that the man is a hypocrit and will be thrown into the darkness where there is great gnashing of teeth (unless he repents). I was also reminded several times of the end for Judas (another lover of money).
I saw another vision of Weeks looking as a man, yet he wore a huge nappy (diaper). He is immature yet he thinks he can LEAD the flock! This is not a man of God, God says, he is a man of the devil.
Bishop Weeks, you have been weighed by God and found wanting. Repent or face the eternal consequences. Christians have nothing to do with this man.
This prophecy has been sent to Bishop Weeks.

To Wisdom:
I was not referring so much to the being divorced. Some people have reason to be divorced that are not their fault. But to have caused his own divorce by savagely beating one wife, and who knows what to the other wife before that, is definitely his own fault.
Then, how appalling that he seems to laugh at silly women by putting an ad up showing how he can still get silly women to compete for him. And silly women answer the ad and compete for him after he has shown his contempt for silly women in such a way. It is disgusting that silly women can so degrade themselves.
It appears that he is laughing in the face of those who say purity is the mark. He seems to say “I’ll show you all who I am and how much I can get away with. See me.”
Then he has some, who must have some of the same spirit inside themselves, defending what he is doing. That is also ridiculous.
It is time to move on. But I do expect we will hear about him again soon. Same ole, same ole. . .

People when I was new to the faith a Christian women who was a prophet she was teaching me about holiness and how God wants us to live holy I never understood the meaning are knew their gift. To make a long story short I started going to churches with her and would meet these prophets that I now know to be false prophets. After being in this circle of prophets my mind started slipping it felt like my mind was locked in a closet this is the only way I can explain it. I knew something was wrong but I did not know how to get out of it. God did not let me get to the point where I was unable to function , praise God
God delivered me when I told him ” Lord God if you deliver my mind i will never again follow a prophet. Right then something poped off my head and I was free.
Later when I was studying the bible. The Lord spoke to me in his word and it said ” Do not seek after a prophet, false prophet will defile you” then the Lord word said that he is “watching”. Meaning that he is looking to see you are going to run after a prophet are if you wil run after God.
So now you cannot even get me to go see a prophet, a matter afact I stay close to my own church. If I am invited to a church and unknownly there is a prophet I will not return to that church if the prophet is speaking.
And if a prophet happens to give me a prophecy and it agrees with my spirit I do’nt dwell on it, my focus is Jesus, and if it come to pass I thank God
I do’nt despise prophecy but I try the spirit rather it is from God.
Beware of false prophets.

This situation can go both ways. Yes, we should not judge, but if you saw a brother or sister walking near the edge of a cliff would you warn them or continue to let them walk where death waits for them at the bottom? Sin leads to death. When God and not man calls you into Ministry, you either accept the call or reject the call. When you accept the call, you become an example whether you like it or not. The call and the anointing is sacred. You should guard the call and protect the anointing. It is an honor to serve God and we should strive for perfection.I know we are not perfect, but with every trap there is a way of escape. Too many are doing their own thing and have the nerve to sprinkle God on top of it to make it look sweet and call it ALL OF GOD! When does it end? Saints, if you really look at it, the battle is not in the world. It’s in the church. What is born of the flesh is what????? We are so busy with this kind of mess that we are loosing focus on what our true purpose is here on this earth. Both Weeks and Glenn knew what they were doing. They could care less about how you feel or what you say. This is a circus and we all know that a circus is not a circus unless there are clowns. She wants to be well known, so with him, she saw opportunity. The same goes for B. Weeks. Do not give this any power. Warning goes before destruction and I am sure they were warned. The best thing to do is turn the TV off when you see them on any shows. Do not buy any of their books. Do not support their ministries period!.They both need God to work on them inside out. True delieverence needs to take place. I ran across this site by accident and I doubt I will be back. Amen!

It seems as though that there is enough WORD on these responses for those you desire and dare to read to take heed to what is being said. God himself says that my people perish for lack of knowledge. It is imperative that we are TRUE believers in Jesus Christ remain prayerful in this last hour. God’s Word is fulfilling and those who have their spiritual eyes open should keep them open; those who don’t it’s time to OPEN THEM VERY WIDE. It’s time to hear FROM GOD AND NOT MAN. IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP ZION FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWERS NEARER THAN ONE THINKS. Oh if men would hear the word of GOD. Take up the word and read, pray for these leaders. God has the last say so with those who are the ‘watchmen” of the souls of the peopel of God. For they hold a position that should not be taken likey. It’s NO ONE’S PLACE TO JUDGE as we have all declared in responding to these actions, rather, it’s our place to keep guard as the hour is AT HAND. Oh children of GOD, His spirit will not always strive with man. Let us pray with the leading of the Holy Spirit like never before that we don’t loose sight of what is happening; that we are ready when the RAPTURE takes place. God knows who is real and who isn’t. Who is “pimping” his precious Word and who is “playin” him. Oh they’re day is indeed coming and what a day that will be. We fail to forget at times WHO GOD IS…Need I remind you that he is the CREATOR AND EXECUTIONER OF THE DEVIL!! GOD IS A GOD OF WAR. HE Does Not play! Woe unto those that do ill againt GOD. It’s a dangerous thing to fall into the hands of an angry GOD!! GOD IS GETTING US READY FOR THAT GREAT AND AWEFUL DAY….who shall be able to stand!!!!!! HELP LORD!

To save women of God’
Remeber in the bible that God said he will separate the wheat from the tares do’nt loose faith. These profess christian and leader are not of God they are from the devil to deceive the people. If they repent and amitt there sin then they are true in the faith Remeber in the bible Jesus said that not everybody who say Lord Lord will enter into the kingdom of heaven only those that do the will of my father. Remeber not everyone will be save only God’s chosen ones the elect of God.
Mathew chapter 24 verses 21,22, And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened
Question who are the Elect of God? Colosssians chapter 3 verse 12…… Put on therefore, as the e(ELECT) of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye. And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness. Col 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Bless women of God stay encouraged and may God bless you richly in wisdom, strenght and power and in prosperity you in Jesus name Amen

Jesus paid for sin past, present and future when we truly repent.
Divorced people can be forgiven.
Divorced, remarried people can be forgiven.
Divorced, rearried, Divorced again, remarried again people can be forgiven.
Etc.
God is far more merciful than we want him to be.

To: Chuch’ If a man divorce his wife other than sexual sin and he marries another women, the women he marries and himself are in adultery. I Agree with you when you say they can repent. What should ones action be after they repent? depart from the sin, Why stay married and keep on committing the act of adultery. You must divorce and be obedient to Jesus Christ teachings on the matter for divorce and marriage.

And what is the unbeliever thinking from the outside when he sees what is going on in the church? The only thing Christians have so far succeeded in doing to him is to keep him/her away from church, and this is simply through our ways! Christains,please,please,please, please, let us unite and save our dying world instead of trying to be like them,we have too much of Hollywood in our minds as Christains…too much of it, there is no difference anymore between christians and Movie and Musical stars

To Jackie scott
These people are not true Christian’s Satan has been positioning himself and his agents
(evil spirits) to form themselves like an angel of light.
1 John 2-19 English translation: These people left our churches because they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left us, it proved that they do not belong with us.
[ December 15th, 2009 at 3:44 pm ]
The true Church are those that live according to the written word and a Holy righteous life.
(Mathew 7-21) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

To Ms. Scott,
This is a lie!!! I know the Bishop personally, and he is not that kind of man! People, beware of impostors and haters like these! They are trying to bring down a true Man of God!!! I tell you Ms. Scott & Ms. Stafford, if you don’t repent of what you have just posted, I do pray and ask God to deal with you in a tremendous way. You should know better than to put that kind of information on the web about a true mouthpiece of God! May our God have mercy on your souls!!! This is what thus saith the Lord!!!
P.S. – Work on your grammar baby…its horrible!!!

Wow people calm down. We say we are Christians but no wander we find it difficult to win souls. Do not major on the minors. What is our focus? Jesus. Yes, there are men and women of God that aught to be examples but if they are not, look up to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
We are all only human (including prophets) and the good thing is, we all have to answer for our wrongs - alone. Let’s focus our energy on how we can make our lives better, how we can do the will of God more (whatever we interprete it to be) and how we can grow to love him more. At the end of the day we need to ask ourselves what will count before God. What the prophet did or didn’t do or what we did or didn’t do? By his grace we will get there. Heaven is our goal.
Peace
