Vol. 12, Chapter 23
Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Why do I speak so often warning the church about such things as adultery?
Don't we see this is God's warning?
Adultery today is approved and encouraged by many people, as they delight in seeing divorced people find another mate, not realizing they are rejoicing in adultery by Bible standards.
In church groups, the message concerning adultery has often vanished for generations. I've never heard such things spoken of from pulpit and I've been in various church groups since 1975 ... 40+ years!
How can this be? Adultery is very serious and is rampant in the world and in church groups. How is it we are not speaking often about this in our churches, warning the church?
The speakers are set in the church to warn the church. Are they warning you today about sin?
The doctrine so often in churches centers on forgiveness regardless of what you do. There is an element of truth in the message but also deception and lies.
Hebrews 10:26-31 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
For we know HIM that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto ME, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

If we sin "wilfully" after we are taught something is sin ... If a person says, "I don't care what the Bible says, I know what I believe," and goes on to commit acts against the Bible, against the Word of God, isn't this a wilful sin?
With so much sin being flaunted in front of our face today on TV and even in church groups as adultery is approved and fornication is accepted and even homosexual/lesbians giving good sounding reason as to why we should simply accept them, shouldn't warning be given to the church as never before?
I can see why God would keep repeating warnings today against these sins, keeping these identified as sins.

Proverbs 3:31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
Sadly, some women marry scoundrels. They become one flesh with the man when they have sexual intercourse, says Bible. I Corinthians 6 By this, they are joined together as one flesh by God's plan.
To the thinking of the world, and by even some in church, such a situation would justify the woman divorcing this husband and finding another husband.
But when we keep sound doctrine from Bible in our thinking, we know the following.
Mark 10:11-12 Jesus says: And HE saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
I Corinthians 7:10-11 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

Is there ever a good reason for a woman to commit adultery?
No, there isn't.
*****
Is there ever a good reason for homosexual or lesbian acts?
No there is not.
Homosexuals and lesbians chose to go against nature and God turned them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient.
Romans 1:26-27 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
*****
The churches today are putting forth a type of gospel which says: "Don't worry. God forgives you and loves you. We aren't under the law any more."
And by these words, they cease warning the congregation and they focus on approving the people if they choose to sin.
They even cast aside words of Jesus in the NT and cast aside words that the apostle Paul says are the "commandment of the Lord" for the NT church.
