Covenant Theology In Outline Form 36: Matthew 19 on Divorce & Remarriage

Shema Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.  Historical Prologue  2  And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. 3  And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any cause?”  General Stipulations  4  He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,  5  and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?  6  So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”  Specific Stipulations  7  They said to him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?”  The Historical Regulation 8  He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you ...

Favorite Fallacies & Homosexuality

Thesis - The tradition bound view on homosexuality commits a number of logical, epistemic, & exegetical fallacies.  1-  Is - Ought Fallacy  - Human anatomy is said to provide    a blueprint for sexual ethics.  We examined this in my previous article.  A moral “ought” is derived from a physical “is.”  The disputant makes an illicit leap from what is to what ought to be. A classic example is the way some homosexuals defend their sexual ethics by appealing to their biology/genetics.  2 -  Vicious Circularity   - Human anatomy & physiology are raised to the status due a non-arbitrary epistemic warrant.    A non-arbitrary epistemic warrant must be necessary, reasoned, & principled.  In truth, the body is unnecessary to deduce sexual ethics. By way of contrast, God’s nature is definitionally necessary, insofar as God is a necessary being, &, since God is infinite, eternal, & unchangeable in being, w...

I Corinthians 6: 9 - 11

What is really going on in 1 Corinthians 6:9 - 11? 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 (ESV): Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.  1.    The sin list is a list of sins operative in that church.  2. This text comes after a series of statements that highlight the identity and position in Christ of the members of the Corinthian church. 3. 1 Corinthians 6:11 (ESV): And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.  “Such were some of you,” does not mean that the...
