Addressing the Issue of Mistresses

[APOSTOLIC ARBITER]

The "cohabitation" argument that Canadian legislators lean on is weak and does not support the actual biblical definition of marriage. Concerning the wife of a man's youth, Exodus 21:10 reads as follows: If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. Once again, we see that GOD neither condemns nor declares it a sin for a man to have more than one wife, but regulates it in His law. If the husband has not diminished his wife's portion being her food, raiment, and duty of marriage, and neither have committed adultery, then they are still MARRIED in the sight of GOD regardless of what secular law says.Today, many women still want the providence from ex-husbands in the form of alimony and child support in addition to the initial settlement in a divorcement; but this is not GOD's way and it never has been.

Biblically speaking, these men who have taken "mistresses" have also married in the sight of GOD. In providing for them and nuturing them, paying for their raiment, buying them meals, etc. they have taken these mistresses to wife. I have repeatedly stated in my missives that even if a man takes an harlot to join with her, it is still marriage in the sight of GOD, Who is not blind. If a man joins to a prostitute, this too, is still marriage in the sight of GOD. Even if a man marries another man's wife (adultery) it is still marriage in the sight of GOD, though she may not be his wife. Clearly then, there is a considerable difference between what defines a "wife" and what defines a "marriage". One of the key scriptures that prove this is none other than the words of Christ Jesus, himself:

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. (Matthew 19:9 emphasis added)

This is indisputable proof that it is indeed possible to marry another man's wife. If any scripture should clarify what marriage actually is, it should be this one. If any scripture should clarify the fact that not all marriage is honourable it should be the words of Christ Jesus, just as they are stated here. No, not all marriage is honourable. GOD does not honour adultery and neither should we. Alas, modern, secular laws, and new age dictionaries have purposed to change the definition of adultery to fit a lying, egalitarian, unisex agenda designed to bring confusion to the masses and to destroy the true meaning of GOD's Holy Word. Today, the spurious law of the wife woman prevails and the law of the Husbandman continues to be scorned in our courts of law while female magistrates sit in the judgment seat to rule and dictate in authority over men. This is not GOD's way.

The word "marriage" constitutes both a noun and a verb. Example: Those individuals who have actively engaged in the act of marriage also have a marriage, whether the marriage is actually honourable or otherwise. From a male standpoint, a man can indeed marry an harlot, a mistress, a prostitute, another man's wife, or even his own wife. Not all marriage is honourable because much marriage is indeed fornication; but adulterers (men who join to other men's wives) and the whoremongers (men who fornicate) GOD will judge. The judgments of GOD are manifest among those people who engage in sexual promiscuity and filthy acts of fornication. One need only look around one's self to see what they are. The men who "keep mistresses" also engage in an act of selfish cowardice. Any man who has joined unto a virgin of her own volition has in deed also taken unto himself a wife. She cannot be called a "mistress" because biblically, she is his wife. Such men who secretly keep "mistresses" also want to keep the wife of their youth, while at the same time reap the benefits that pertain to honest men having two wives and openly declaring this godly and biblically honoured institution. It is hypocrisy. They are in denial. Many of these men also delight in fornication and many of these said "mistresses" also do the same. Men who willfully share women are dogs and adulterers. They will not go unpunished. GOD is not mocked.

Technically, I have two wives. I have never divorced, or put away a wife; because of the very law that you mentioned, we were indeed forced to live apart. And yes, people were starting to talk. A neo-feminist agency (which I won't name here because of an ongoing legal dispute) did the rest, demonizing me and destroying what remained of my once strong marriage, practically forcing me to obtain another help meet with my first wife's blessing, in the process (though not once did I seek another wife). I did not "sneak around" behind my wife's back. Nonetheless, my children are a living testimony to our marriage and, because I have not divorced any wife, the biblical definition is still clear: I do indeed have two wives even unto this day.

Although this is a private matter I believe it is necessary at this point in my life to declare it. The purpose for my closure is past. I now see what thoughts dwell in the hearts and minds of men and women who continually anticipate the worst. It amazes me that during the course of SEVEN YEARS that I have shared this knowledge, not one has ever truly considered my situation, but rather nearly every woman that I discussed the matter with has jumped to the conclusion that I PUT AWAY a wife! I did no such thing. Alas, the scripture does not say, Whatsoever GOD has joined together, let no WOMAN put asunder! So the neo-feminist misandrists are having a hay day with this, demonizing men on a regular basis. The implication should be clear: These are the times we live in. Furthermore, I find it equally amazing how pastors and pastors wives, people who are supposed to be blessed with discernment, cannot even discern the noses on their own faces; whereas people like you and people like myself, seem to be blessed with a good measure of it. Such is the grace of GOD.

The word of GOD says I have two wives... I would do well to surrender to the truth rather than to pretend (as so many of these men do) that it is otherwise. Secular law is always obscure. I think it is deliberately so for the powers and rulers of the darkness of this world to make merchandise of people. I "kept" no mistress, but I know that many of these sorts of men you describe do so on a regular basis. These ungodly cowards continually live in fear of the neo-feminist misandry and I understand their reasons as I have suffered under their hand many times for taking an active stance against their spirit of harlotry, but cowardice is not an option for men who purpose in their hearts to serve GOD. Wherever possible a man should honour the woman he marries as his wife and nothing less. If he cannot do so because he married someone other than his own wife (or wives), then he is still sinning and he needs to repent of his situation and his sin. In each and every case the woman he marries must be his own wife, no matter how many wives he marries. GOD does not honour "casual sex". It is fornication. GOD does not honour homosexuality. It is an abomination in the sight of GOD. GOD does not honour adultery. It is wicked and vile. The truth remains the same in every case. Truth is absolute: Every time a man joins with a woman in the flesh they do verily marry. Marriage is one flesh. Every time.

When my beloved Hope went to church and bare her heart before GOD at the altar, she later told me that the LORD spoke to her and declared unto her that she was to be my wife. At the same time that this was occurring in Louisiana I was walking up my stairs when I received a powerful witness that this was so. Well, you can only imagine my surprise. I did alot of praying that day, asking my LORD how this could be, considering the fact that I already had a wife. Be rest assured I did not keep this secret from the wife of my youth but also did confide in her. The witness was strong and I had to "work it out" before GOD first to be absolutely sure that I was not being decieved. GOD knows many things that go on in our lives that we do not. The LORD confirmed His word to me in a powerful vision and made it clear to me that the matter was truly and completely my own choice. GOD sees all things from the beginning to the end. GOD doesn't miss a thing. Yet, His Hand was in it and, at the time, I did not understand why this thing was taking place. Needless to say, I was quite perplexed at the time. The entire matter was carefully sought through... First with my LORD, and also with the wife of my youth, and then also with my beloved Hope. I was not prepared to do this thing without the blessings of all three and I did verily receive them. Taking a mistress is a completely different matter.

As for me, I did not even so much as touch my beloved Hope's hand during the course of these events. How could I? She lived in Lousiana at the time. We "bumped into" eachother online in a very innocent fashion and became good friends instantly. We knew eachother nearly two years before we even so much as held hands. All the while the wife of my youth had knowledge of our friendship which later became something more than friendship. Now to be completely fair, I most certainly asked the beloved wife of my youth whether or not she wanted a divorcement because of the needless pressure the neo-feminist misandranists had placed upon her. I do not believe in FORCING anyone to be my spouse. To be sure, I have asked this of her three times since and she desires no such thing. I suspect that she still loves me and I can truthfully state that I also love her dearly and pray for her daily, as I do for all my family. She lives in the big city now and I cannot bear the thought of living there myself. She gave me her blessing on a second help meet because she knew I needed one and she wanted to attend college in the city and leave me to my own devices. To this day she lives alone but in close proximity to our only son and his wife woman. Please allow me to put this diplomatically: She has no interest in men.

But do you see now how that my so-called Christian brothers and sisters have encompassed me like Philistines to persecute me, to torment me, to despise me, and to bear false witness against me? Wherefore I do know that being a "Christian" is certainly no guarantee of salvation before GOD. And these, my accusers, do openly criticize what they do not understand; nor did any of these have the discernment of GOD to determine my case, but rather judged me only according to their private interpretations, leaning on their own understanding and upon the understanding of wiser fools. Yet through all of this I have learned what the good thing is and many did not bring such false judgment against me, but rather they befriended me and were compassionate. Men such as Bro Gary, Bro Fred, and Bro Bryan (before the misandrists got an hold on him) and even NON-ONENESS people, having the grace to be compassionate to me, and in so-doing making a difference but lacking in understanding, did also befriend me in spite of my calamity. Yes, I do have enemies also. May GOD bless them. We must all do our part for the gospel's sake and my enemies often lift burdens from me in choosing to become enemies of the FULL BIBLE TRUTH without realizing it; but the LORD always gives me another burden to carry so I am not worried. GOD bless my enemies! Yesterday, after my contribution of over one thousand enteries in Your Christian Space, my membership was promptly terminated. They gave no explanation for this and I understand the reason they didn't. Too many pastors had sifted through my work only to discover that my communications were true and many of these learned men commended me for my work. Something had to be done. Perhaps the pastor's wife complained. I will never know. I am no longer in YCS. They were certainly a good deal more tolerant of me than other groups who profess to know GOD. I will count this sacrifice to the glory of GOD and I shall prevail.

I have learned much in these seven years. I have discovered the wickedness of the liars that call themselves "ONENESS" and are not, but do lie. I understand how men like Tenny have fallen from grace, resorting to televangelism and filthy lucre. How so many of these pastors are answerable for holding the truth in unrighteousness even as much (if not more so) as all the self-confessed trinitarians who live in ignorance of the only wise GOD. They have failed the truth because they refuse to embrace the FULL BIBLE TRUTH as a little child, doubting nothing. And they too, would forget that whatsoever is not of faith is sin; but they have agendas to embrace and doctrines of men and devils to cater to. They also love the world and the things that are in it. They are quick to judge and even quicker to condemn. How are these then any different than those trinitarians who also do the same? They make covenants with the rulers of the darkness of this world and thereby attempt to justify themselves with the false law of the land rather than establish GOD's moral law! It should be no marvel then why the Muslim faith prevails; for GOD brought up this people, these sons of Ishmael, to execute justice upon the wicked. And that too... Is BIBLE. O, that Ishmael might live before thee! GOD bless Islam in the name of FULL BIBLE TRUTH!

I am only but half a century old and I feel already that I have lived a full life upon this earth. I am grateful to JESUS for opening my eyes to His truth, but I want to go home. My LORD has told me that He has great plans for me and I must tarry here until the appointed time. I still want to go home. These are surely the last days and I don't want to be around when Jacob's trouble comes upon the earth. May GOD have mercy on our souls. I am so tired of this world and all the hate and wickedness. I am so weary of all the needless striving and hurt. I'm so overwhelmed by the countless millions of innocent children that suffer at the hands of greedy rulers and so-called leaders. And I am fed up to the brim with self-right hypocrites that come against me for declaring the FULL BIBLE TRUTH. Perhaps they should try practicing some PURE RELIGION for a change. Perhaps some of these bigots ought to try sponsoring and marrying a widow in addition to the wife they already have. Perhaps their "selfless" wives might be godly enough to grant their blessings on this... But I rather doubt it. You have no idea how much I have wept for these.

Where are the men of GOD?
