When twelve years old, during lunch recess at school, I stood on the grass facing about 30 ft away from a very large old sycamore tree. The tree's trunk was about three to four feet in diameter. I recollected from observing the world, my older brother, and his friends were forever after the quest of having sexual relations. I began to visualized within my mind for a brief moment, right of the large tree, as if a youthful couple, floating about three feet in the air. I perceived both were a virgin, male and female, when had sexual intercourse unknowingly to others. Feeling at first discomfort, then immediately a sense of ease, comfort came over me, God had naturally joined them together. God had bound them in a lifetime marriage.
    Then raced through my mind, thoughts of another person who isn’t a virgin, due to had sexual intercourse with one or more that were already in their own lifetime marriages from having sexual intercourse unknowingly to others. The person who's no longer a virgin, can’t be bound to someone who's already in a lifetime marriage, is free to take one who isn’t in a lifetime marriage. For their own lifetime marriage. Perceiving lifetime marriages can’t be dissolved by sex with another, but only by physical death.
    I then imagined a man who left his lifetime marriage that was unknown to others, and takes another of someone else’s lifetime marriage. I sense discomfort that he is proud, God sees all things, will hold him accountable.
    Next I perceived lifetime marriages, even when occurred unknown to others, when the male and female were equally virgins, has a lasting remembrance of given to each other their virginity. Supplies the greatest potential of devotion for each other for a lifetime, for the greatest potential of contentment, peace and tranquility for the largest number of people in the world.
    In contrast, perceived the existing mentality in the world and in the Catholic church when particularly two virgins, male and female, had sexual intercourse unknown to others, if the relationship broke off, was regarded as either not a big deal by the world or called a sin (fornication), by the Catholic teaching. To conveniently leave each other, even in error thinking they're doing the will of God in leaving each other. Perceived the mentality of the world and the Catholic doctrine was the underlying reason for the great chaos happening in the world. I didn’t linger on especially the latter visual, less I be tempted and fall into such situations. Made it the more difficult at times to recall them, and because it was part visual within and immediate perceiving, was besides difficult to ever express them.
    I then looked toward the left side, immediately behind the sycamore tree, at the narrow sidewalk, beside a separate two story dark brick building, a convent for nuns. I pictured in my mind, a couple among others on the narrow sidewalk in their marriages like my parents. Thinking, there were some differences between my parent’s relationship lasting, compared to this generation’s relationships failing.
    Then I stood to the right of the large sycamore tree, where I imagined the couple was floating in a lifetime marriage by God. I looked toward a few feet, where the narrow sidewalk became broader, parallel up to the multiple steel closed emergency windowless doors, the back side of a smaller section of the school. I focused on the doors, where immediately inside, about ten feet, the door to the girl’s bathroom and immediately to the left the door to the boy’s bathroom. The emergency doors were forbidden to open to walk outside, only few dared to open. I sensed a strange feeling as if it was staged around me, perhaps by God, some kind of meaning to the doors, that were only to be open for emergencies. In later years the meaning came to me, that many lives, there sexual past, must be open, talked about to find if they are married in God's eyes, to someone in their past.


    Hello, My name is John Nowak, fast forward to 2010. Since this seems to be the primary theme "Jesus Marriage Proclamation", for those who are at christjustified.com, through out the following articles listed in the left column and I had planned the first 2 discourses below, to be at the beginning of my book, I think it proper to express some thoughts, to help your reading. There are two primary questions, that sum up my life and quest.

• When is a marriage to God?

• How long does a marriage last to God?

    At 12 years old, through a visual and immediate perceiving, I came to a conclusion and tried to live my life accordingly. If you continue to read my life history, you will see I had many struggles, tribulations, doubts along the way. I began reading the bible at 18, trying to fine the answers. I began writing down about seven years ago, the observations I found, slowly trying to piece together the evidences. While knowledgeable of other renderings, interpretations, prevalent among different groups, and seemingly the non-denominational churches of Christ I attend.
      As for the non-denominational churches, some observations. I live in the north east, having very few churches of Christ. Where I notice are seemingly influence by the more liberal social culture here, would not readily give me a fair reading of the situation among the over 13,000 churches of Christ spread across the united states, particularly the south. My best guess, that the main body of churches of Christ will perhaps more be on the side of the usual understanding, that marriage begins at vows, and committing adultery, frees an innocent partner to marry another. However I hear of pockets among non-denominational churches of Christ would not stand by these, particularly the latter, not teaching one is free to marry another. Perhaps there are more then just pockets, being I am not in the south, I cannot tell for sure. There are individualists, among the congregations, because they may attend a congregation, that teaches the seemingly usual, don't mean, they can't have there own understanding, disagreeable with the congregation they attend. There are many who married, both being virgins, and never really carefully considered, through scripture, the topic, being they weren't as confronted with such a situation. Then there are some on the churches of Christ single site, where I seemingly persuaded, where they made the necessary changes in their lives and marriage plans. Some saying if they had this information earlier in life they would of lived their life diferently. As a side note, I observed some statistical data a while ago, that showed many members are holding up marriage, in not divorcing as much, as compared to other types, forms of so called christian groups. Even so, I do sense that as time proceeds, the influences of the government unconstitutionally promoted psychology based culture has and will encroach, evade more upon the churches of Christ. This is another reason why I believe this article is perhaps timely, to restore and to fight off the encroachment, and perhaps the discourses particularly 1 & 2 and some 3, will become the definitive reasoning, by the evidences in the bible alone, the answers to the two above questions for many peoples, nations. That if someday accepted in more churches and the Government to nudge citizens to apply to their lives, will eventually usher in a time of peace, harmony and tranquility, the world had perhaps never before witness. As for the transition period, I cannot say what will occur, perhaps there need to be some prudent steps made.
    For today June 22, 2010, there is the extreme violence, innocent shed blood in so called abortion, of over 50,000,000 premeditated murdered babies on the hands of many a citizenry. The end result of the centuries, beginning from religious false teaching, marriages begins at vows, among denominations, even to so far influencing independent religious groups, combined with the more recent sixties, where a predominant factor was government unconstitutional promoted psychology, philosophy in the many government universities across the land, caused much of the growth in the ranks of the so called free love generation, destroying people's lives, both in their daily lives and literally.
    Why has seemingly God chosen me? Or perhaps the question may be, how has God prepared me? I wonder, perhaps some of the same reason he chosen, prepared Paul, being he was a Pharisee, who God prepared him in the intimate knowledge of the the pharisee doctrine and reasoning, which would become his greatest enemy.
    I attended and observed the manifestations of people in three Catholic schools, in my city, by the age of 12, observed Catholic families and Catholic friends. Attended three public schools, kindergarten and then 9 to 12 grade, witnessing seemingly non religious friends. Then attended and observed the nondenominational churches of Christ for 26 years.
    My life story are real events, actual occurrences, not fictitious, and I taken great lengths not to add or subtract from them.

God Bless

    "Jesus proclaimed marriage occurs at only one moment "One Flesh" mutual consented sexual intercourse, known to others or even unknown to others (by implication shown in Genesis, Moses law and by Jesus). Consequently the imaginations of man, his imagined precepts, his traditions, thinking marriage begins at a vow, oath, ceremony, certificate, saying I do, and imagining a covenant (so to be conveniently imagine broken when desired), are all in dire error. The word, statements in Genesis, Moses law and particularly Jesus' word, terminology, “One Flesh” and “Let Not Man Separate” bounds the moment marriage occurs, known or even unknown to others, and it's permanency."

John Jerome Nowak

Discourse I

    To understand Jesus' spirit (mental dispositions, particular thinking, mind makeup), we must imagine ourselves living, have the same thinking, mindsets as two thousand years ago. The five statements below are the key spiritual discernment's of Jesus.

1. Jesus point's out husbands when put away their wives not for fornication, causes (due to her dire hardship, could not provide for herself) her to commit adultery and who ever marries her in this state also commits adultery.
2. Jesus begins another discourse with the terminology "one flesh", to describe when marriage occurs at the moment of mutual consenting sexual intercourse.
   
3. Jesus says a second time "one flesh", to mean the two are seen by God as if a continual one body, one person, commands a primary teaching "let not man separate".
4. Jesus will continue the spirit (mental disposition), one flesh, continual one body, one person, say when a husband puts away a wife not for fornication, not only causes his wife to commit adultery, in addition the husband commits adultery (be it indirectly) through his wife's body. For they are as a continual one flesh, one body, one person to God.
   
5. Jesus across the board, removes form the table, marries another. Marries another, commits adultery.
   

   The word of God is spiritual (logical consisting of many analogies, particular thinking, lines of thought, linked, thought by thought, author's intent behind the written words).

• Beginning from Genesis, marriage in the minds of men, occurred at only one moment, one flesh (mutual consenting sexual intercourse).

• Moses wrote when mutual consented sexual intercourse occurred, unknowingly by others, when found out the couple was forced to remain together the rest of their days.

 Matthew 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 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.

  In Matthew 5:30-32 Jesus in his first discourse on marriage, begins with concerning Moses law on divorcing and marring another, interestingly chosen, pointed out the dire plight of dismiss wives, with his disciples. Jesus spoke about how a husband in dismissing his woman apart of the matter of fornication, causes (due to the general population of wives in Jesus' time had very little means to support themselves) to marry another, commits adultery. Jesus says her husband causes adultery, then says she commits adultery even though she is in hardship, a dire situation, was push in adultery. Her dire situation does not relieve her of the sin. Jesus says whoever marries her, commits adultery. This shows even the new man who things he shows pity on her and marries her, is in adultery.
    The same book of Matthew, Jesus continues a second discussion on marriage, with the pharisees' in Matt 19, and the disciples listening. The pharisees notice Jesus is in coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan, a distant land, where the ideas of marriage are more contentious, then nearer to Jerusalem. The pharisees tried to tempt Jesus, ask of him, can we put away the woman for every cause?




Matt 19:4-5  And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read , that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said , For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife (actual word is woman, there is no word used in biblical times that signified marriage status): and they twain (two) shall be one flesh (mutual consented sexual intercourse)?

    Jesus proclaims God created male and female in the beginning, for the purpose, reason, they will leave their parents and cleave to each other and become one flesh (mutual consented sexual intercourse). The words "one flesh" had two distinct intents used by Jesus, the first use, will be the most direct way, terminology 2000 years ago, of saying sexual intercourse. The words sexual intercourse is a rather new terminology, not used in bible times. Jesus confirms the principle from Genesis, creation, and the principle in Moses law recognizing one flesh (mutual consenting sexual intercourse) as the moment when to let not man separate.

• To better understand what transpired 2000 years, since Jesus and Apostles words were said and written down. It is written in the new testament, Jesus since he lives forever, eternal, is called and sits as the perfect high priest forever at the right hand of God. It is written in the New Testament, all believers are as a royal priesthood, offering up daily right acts, as their sacrifices. The only central authority is in Jesus Christ, as the perfect high priest forever and his appointed Apostles. Their actions and words, recorded in the new testament, reflected upon, are to solely and only submit, by all believers who are referred to in the New testament as a royal priesthood (spiritual not literal), all called believers, called saints. Within the highest authority on earth, are in elders (overseers of the congregation).  Accordingly, they meet the high standards left to them in the Apostle Paul's writings. Elected by the congregation they were in, not elected by multiple congregations.
  
• Corruption, an apostasy had formed through the Roman Government, who for their benefit, latch onto, in 312 AD, an unauthorized, non biblical centralization of authority, a religious literal one man ruler, a sect, set it up as a state religion. This sect had an imperfect literal high priest in the pope and a literal priest, as a literal priesthood. They set up (without Jesus and his apostles authorization found in scripture, except a  vague statement, many see Jesus is calling Peter's confession, is the rock, "Jesus is the Christ", the church is built upon, not Peter. Even so, Peter had a central leadership role, there is absolutely nothing written, commanded, charge of succession, as if a king). It convienently mimic the heathen kings, the kings of the old Testament, that God warned them not to have. A religious literal priesthood, which put power in one man, a few men, (not authorized in the New Testament to create a literal high priest or literal priesthood).  This Roman Catholic literal high priest, priesthood promoted by the state, persecuted, forced the others calling themselves the church, of independent congregations, to go underground (hidden) for centuries.

• This Roman Catholic high priest (pope), priesthood, latched on to calling one flesh when occurred unknowing to others, a sin, fornication (without any biblical support), which conveniently disown all obligation to the woman, which convienently allowed them to hoard wealth. Contrary to the decree, golden command "let not man separate". They made laws that their literal priest must be present at a ceremony for the marriage to be recognized.

    The Pharisees pose another question to him, why then Moses allowed them to give a written certificate to put away?


    Jesus transcends Moses law on putting away, by saying, from the beginning (Genesis, creation) it was not so. 

• Paul wrote about the remnant in the book of Romans. It can be gathered, Jesus in his spirit, viewed Moses had written the particular law allowing the more numerous hard hearted Israelites in putting away, to protect the remnant (smaller surviving faithful group, believers in Israel). Moses had to give way to the more numerous hard hearted Israelites, less they removed Moses from power, leaving the remnant (smaller surviving faithful group, believers in Israel) at the mercy of hard hearted Israelites.

 Matt 19:9 But I say to you, who ever puts away his woman not for fornication, and (word sense, usage as if the word or) marries another, commits adultery.”

 Matt 19:9 is the most important verse of marriage in the bible, there are a number of things to consider and analyze very carefully.

1. Put away not for fornication, commits indirectly adultery (found guilty on additional grounds, besides causing sin in his woman, the sin in his woman body becomes his)
2. Marries another, commits directly adultery

• Matt 19:9 shows evidence of another connection Matt 5:31 -32, both have the same phraseology "Whoever puts away his woman .......... for fornication". In the mist of the phraseology Matt 5 has the words "apart from the matter" (in original Greek), and  the mist of the phraseology matt 19:9 has the single word "not" (in original Greek). The reason for the slight change, is to further reveal the spirit (mental disposition) intent behind the words.
• The word "not" (in original Greek), was always render as "not" never the word "except". The King James version of the bible in 1611, had mistranslated the word “not”  into the word “except”. You will find the correct translation "not" in the American Standard Bible, Darby Bible and Greek Interlinear Bible by Alfred Marshall.
• Matt 19:9 is speaking solely for men concerning Moses law, in putting away their woman, concerning putting away not for fornication, again putting light upon woman's dire plight in Jesus' time. Many have not recognized this fact, and in their misperceiving the spirit (mental disposition) in error, have additionally error, applied  their misperceiving to woman putting away her man. Being men weren't in generally in dire plight if put away, so Matt 19:9 isn't applicable for woman.
• Jesus in the very same chapter used the word “and”, usage as if the word “or”, describing as a list, how men became eunuchs. Jesus spoke of eunuchs, did not describe a case (time sequence actions immediately connected to each other). If Jesus intent, in Matt 19:9 said the word "and" usage as if the word "or" then Jesus had stated first causes, and (or) an action taken, either cause or action by itself, commits adultery.  An example below using the word "and" with the usage, intent of the word "or".
