Faith & Beliefs / Re: What is Jesus saying here about divorces?
« on: August 29, 2017, 12:19:37 AM »
I highlighted the important parts in bold. Most Hmong American married couples in U.S. don't practice this law and end up living under their parents' roof because of old cultural tradition. Even those hypocritical, Lukeworm Christian married couples still living with their parents-in-law. :face-palm:
Mark 10:2-12
2 Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
3 “What did Moses command you?” he replied.
4 They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”
5 “It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied.
6 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’
7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this.
11 He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
