Jesus on divorce.

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.)

Jesus meets with Dead Moses.

After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.) Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!" Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what "rising from the dead" meant. Mark 9:2-10

Later that day when the mushrooms wore off, John asked, "How come Joesph Smith wasn't up on the mountain, too?"

Jesus needs to re-read the Bible.

(Jesus speaking) "For Moses said, 'Honor your father and mother,' and, 'Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.'" Mark 7:10

Hey Jesus, just an FYI, these statements were made by God, to Moses (Exodus 20:12, Leviticus 20:9). Being that you ARE God, and thus, you spoke the words to Moses; it seems reasonable that you would know this.
