Speaking the Word of God

(This podcast was previously published on May 11, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Mark 6 14 And king Herod heard of HIM, of Jesus; (for HIS name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. 15 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. 16 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. 17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. 18 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. 19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: 20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. 21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; 22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. 23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. 24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. 25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist. 26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. 27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. In this Podcast, I record examples of that which they do when we speak godly things to them in church groups. ***** Pam Padgett rented a room from a woman who was twice divorced and attended the single's class at the church Pam attended. When this woman began seeking another husband, Pam warned her that, according to the Bible, the divorced woman who remarries commits adultery. This woman said to Pam, "I don't care what the Bible says." Pam was so shocked that a woman who calls herself a Christian and attends a church didn't care what the Bible says. This woman found a man in the singles class at church and planned to marry him. Pam went to this man and told him it would be adultery if he married this divorced woman. Matthew 5:32 Jesus says: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. - The divorced woman who remarries commits adultery. - The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Also Jesus said: Mark 10: 11 And HE saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. This man said he would think about it. (But he went ahead with the planned wedding.) Pam knew the maid of honor, so she went to this woman and told her that if these people married, they would commit adultery, according to the Bible. This woman said to Pam, "I know it will be adultery, but they will marry anyway, so I'm going to go ahead and be the maid of honor." (I Timothy 5:22 neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.) At that same time, Pam moved to housing that was farther away from that church group so she stopped going to the singles class but continued going to the main service on Sunday mornings. The singles always sat together at the 11:00 service. Pam went to the place where they always sat and sat there but no one from the singles class came to sit in that area. Pam saw them sitting farther back in the auditorium. Then the next Sunday, Pam went to the new area in the auditorium where the singles sat, but the singles were now sitting in the old area. The next week, the singles were already sitting in the auditorium when Pam arrived at the church building. Pam went to that area and sat down with the singles class. Without saying a word, they got up and moved away from Pam. Pam cried out to God, "What have I done wrong?" A few weeks later, a woman from that church came to Pam and said. "I have a word from God for you. God knows how the people in the singles class are treating you and that it is because you have warned about the ...
