Your Questions, Honest Answers: - August 19, 2021

If my ex-husband dies, can I remarry without committing adultery? Does God have an individual plan for each one of us? Read Transcript


- [Terry] Pat, the firstquestion comes from Rose

who says, "I need to knowif my ex-husband dies,

"can I remarry withoutcommitting adultery?"

- You've already gotten a divorce?

Is that he's an ex-husband, if he dies?

Well, you know, again,the Pauline printment

but Jesus said that you can't divorce

and remarry except forthe cause of infidelity.

So I presume your ex-husband somehow that

must have been something involved.

So of course, if he dies, you're not bound

under any circumstances.

But I, I don't knowexactly why he's an ex,

so if he's an ex on account of infidelity

you're okay now, all right?

- This is Alan who says, "DoesGod have a plan for my life

"other than His universalplan of salvation?

"Where in the Bibledoes it speak of a plan

"for my life as an individual,

"a grain of sand on the beach of life?

"Does God have an individualplan for each one of us?"

- Well He wrote to Jeremiah, said,

"Before I formed you in the womb,

"I knew you and I ordained you

"to be a prophet to the nations."

So Jeremiah had a plan, but Paul writes,

I believe in Ezekiel where He says,

"We have been saved untogood works which God prepared

"for us before thefoundation of the earth."

So He's got a plan all laid out for you

and the good thing of lifeis if you follow His plan,

it leads to success andhappiness, and if you fight it

you're gonna be frustrated all your life.

So the answer is yes, He hasa plan for each one of us

and that's good news.

- Mm-hm.

This is Lee who says,"All my life, my brother

"and I never really saw eye to eye.

"He was always verballyabusive and at times, a bully.

"I know I'm supposed to forgive him,

"but every time I see him, I'm triggered.

"While I find myself tryingto renew ties with him,

"he always finds ways todestroy any progress we've made.

"How do I fix this or should I give up?"

- Well, you know, Jesus said

if somebody wants to be repentedand he comes and asks you

forgiveness, you, seven times seven,

70, but apparently thebrother doesn't want it

and so the Bible says havenothing to do with an angry man.

So I don't think youneed to get in a position

where you're constantly angry.

From, you know, when youstand praying, if you've got

anything in your heartagainst him, forgive it.

So I forgive him, hebullied me, he beat me up,

he's done all these terriblethings, and I forgive him,

and then put it aside.

But if there's a constanttrigger, just stay away.

You don't have to be exposed

to that which will causeyou to have problems.

- Okay, this is Kenisha who says,

"I've been in the UnitedStates for 15 years now

"and I would like to knowwhat is the best history book

"you recommend to learn moreabout true American history?

"Also, do you know ofany conservative colleges

"or universities in New York?

"I recently completed my Associates

"in Business Administration and would like

"to continue my educationto obtain my Bachelor's."

- In, in New York, I think it's called

King's College, isn't it?

They've got a terrificprogram up in New York City.

They, they look after you very well

and they teach the Bible.

There's something thathas been put out called

the 1776 Project and it'sdone by a school in Michigan.

- [Terry] Oh, I know where you're...

- Yeah.

But anyhow, it's available, 1776 Project

and look it up on theinternet or try to find it.

But as I say King's College in New York,

you'll find a very good education.

- Okay, Leonard wants toknow, "Is it a sin to smoke?"

- Well, the Bible says you've temple is,

your body's the temple of the Holy Spirit

and if anybody destroys God's temple,

God's gonna destroy him.

Now, there is no question thatsmoking is damaging to you.

It will eat your lungs, itwill cause Buerger's disease,

it will cause all kindsof health problems,

pleurisy, you name it,it'll be bad for you.

So you're destroying God's temple.

So is it a sin?

You better believe it is because God says

if you destroy the temple,God's going to destroy you.

I just wouldn't do it.

And all the advertisements about smoking,

they have proved without question that

nicotine is harmful and it destroys you

and it's not good for you.

And so the answer is you shouldnot destroy God's temple.

- Mm-hm.

This is Reba who says,"If both the president

"and vice president are unable to serve

"and the Speaker of the Houseis of a different Party,

"would he or she still become president?"

- The answer is yes.

I mean, it has nothingto do with the Party.

I mean, it's the office they hold.

So if the president andvice president are taken

out of the way for somereason, Nancy Pelosi will be

your next president,even though Republicans

are someplace else, okay? (chuckling)

- [Terry] Catch my breath, here.

- That's something you have,you have to look forward to.

But the Speaker of the House

becomes the president, all right?
