Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" "What did Moses command you?" he replied. They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away." "It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law," Jesus replied. "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.' 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery." Mark 10: 2-12
Three questions. Was Moses only wrong about marriage? Or was he wrong about a few things? Or was he wrong about everything? (In this passage, Jesus yields to Moses. So difficult to choose.)
Your 3 questions:
ReplyDelete1. This says Moses was wrong on divorce, not marriage.
2. He was wrong in a few other things. He wasn't perfect.
3. He was not wrong about everything, just as he was not perfect, he was not perfectly wrong.
