Ep84: Fornication in Ancient Israel was different than fornication in America

from The Divorced Christian

Jesus' words about "fornication" have often been misunderstood in modern Christianity. The definition commonly used in America is different from how the word was understood in Israel during the time of Jesus. In this episode, Pastor Darius explains why Jesus was not speaking about adultery or infidelity when He gave the "exception" for fornication. Through scripture and historical context, he breaks down the meaning of the word and examines the historical examples behind Jesus' statement.BOOKS FROM PASTOR DARIUS GOODPurchase (or read) the book The Loophole: https://dariusgood.com/theloopholeThe book The Divorced Christian and Soul Ties: (https://dariusgood.com/merch)Amazon link for the book The Divorced Christian (https://a.co/d/9VQRraw)The book Soul Ties is available on Amazon.com (https://a.co/d/hsI5EDo)The book Doctrends: The Sermon on the Mount:paperback - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/doctrends-vol-1-darius-good/1149154827?ean=9798994315507 (Barnes & Noble)paperback - https://a.co/d/hXyyZbB (Amazon)kindle - https://a.co/d/dRVbXPkaudio book - https://a.co/d/3ue4Er9—————————————————-BOOK HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY PASTOR DARIUS The Jewish Law of Marriage and Divorce in Ancient and Modern Times by Benjamin Mielziner: https://a.co/d/23X1iacThis is a link to a free online copy of the book:https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015004801067&seq=1Learn more about Darius Good at https://dariusgood.com
