Why did Herodia want John's head?
Herodias divorced her husband Philip---and it was a scandal because she married again while her husband was still living.
Realize WHY John the Baptist was beheaded: because he told Herod that he had his brother Philip's wife.
The divorces of both of their spouses (Herod's and Herodias) did NOT dissolve the bond of marriage between Herodias and Philip. She was his wife until HE (Philip) died
Even though they had a LEGAL DIVORCE.. in Gods eyes she was still another mans wife......
People will hate you and despise you if you stand for this truth.. but I encourage the men of God everywhere to begin standing for ONE WIFE and ONE HUSBAND for life.. anything else falls short of the mark and is thus SIN
