    Tim on Matthew 19 - 13 years ago
    This chapter tells us how we "should" live as True Christians.
    The Pharisees where tempting Jesus by asking his belief of what Moses gave them in v3.
    Jesus told them they where to be Male and Female as husband and wife v4.
    This man "Shall" leave mom and dad, and Cleave to his wife. This is after marrige, if it were before marrige this would be "Fornication" not Adultery. They have NEVER be married before...
    They become 1 flesh v5.
    Moses gave the writing of divorcement, because of the Hardness of their hearts in v8.
    "Fornication is when a man and a woman have a relationship outside of marrige, neither person has ever been married before",
    Thus v9 makes perfect sense. If I, having never been married, marry a woman that has been married before, she is committing Adultery and I am committing Fornication. v9
    If I then divorce her, I free myself from Fornication and am elgible to marry an elgible wife only.
    "Amen!"   Report
