Herod Antipas Married His Brothers Wife and John the Baptist was Beheaded for Calling Out His Sin

Herod Antipas married his brother's wife while his brother was still living. John the Baptist called him out, and he was beheaded for it. Chew on that for a moment.

Mark 6:14-29 tells of the account of John's beheading because he dared to speak for God in the unlawful marriage between Herod and his brother's wife.

 
Notice that many in our day wish they could behead those of us who declare divorce and remarriage as a sin against God. But it is not us that say it, it is God Who says it, so who are the rebellious hearts angry at, God for saying it or us for repeating what God says? Perhaps both!

This culture has become so brainwashed that a second marriage is a legitimate marriage, thats even those who do not do it defend those who do.

 
Romans 1:31-32 "…31 They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them."

The church gatherings of today are full of "unlawful" marriages, which Jesus Christ calls adultery, with the full acceptance of those who gather with them.

 
Mark 10:11-12 "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."
