Republicans want to make a law that Forbids ‘Uncontested Divorce”
They based this on this Scripture.
Matthew 19
Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”
4 “Haven’t you read,” Jesus replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’and said, ‘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.
Independents and Democrats Argue that we don’t live in the first Century, and the Constitution is not based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.
On top of that, the teachings of Jesus are questioned by many Independents, Democrats, as well as some Republicans. For example, something of more importance that should have been on the Radar of Jesus was slavery.
Why did Jesus not condemn Slavery? Enslaving people to be at the mercy of unscrupulous men with power, causes more emotional, mental, and physical turmoil than a divorce. A slave has to summit to their master, even if it includes a young 10 year old girl slave, to sexually summit to any perverted act the master may demand.
The only reason Jesus could not comprehend the ramifications of how evil slavery of other humans was is because he was just a common man that took the role of a prophet and people liked what he had to say about the future and how God’s Kingdom would soon take control and give everyone paradise.
Jesus was the Charles Russell of the 1st Century. And Paul was the Rutherford.
Now for people like me, Marriage and divorce is a big deal. The reason is because I inherited a nice sum of monies from a rich uncle. His lawyers became my lawyers. And their advice to me is not to get married, until I’m willing to lose half of my assets. They told me that we are living in a Country and a time when the divorce laws are twisted to always favor the women. Even prenups are no guarantee.
I’ve dated some beautiful girls, but boy do I have some stories. I dated this beautiful 19 year Christian Girl. She was into Jesus Christ big time and hated atheist and agnostics.
I dated her for over a year to get to know her well. I met her Christian parents and they were great and we hanged out a lot in cookouts and other stuff. Finally I was ready to pop the question to her. Then one of my friends invited me to his house, sat me down, turned on his laptop and showed me my fiancee, that I was going to marry on “Only Fans”
Hell I was mad. I approached her parents and they were shocked, they had no idea.
And there are other stories, plus the divorce rate is high and the majority of divorces are initiated by women. You can look it up.
So what I’m saying is that Jesus was Not imparting ‘God’s’ Wisdom for all humanity when he was talking about marriage. Heck, Jesus never even married so he had no idea what it was like to live with a woman, have sex with her, get her pregnant, raise a bunch of children and provide for them.
He had no idea what it was like when your wife calls you out;
“Jesus, for heaven’s sake, get up and change that dirty diaper on Jesus Jr. so he can stop crying”
“Jesus when you are you taking me out to eat? I’m here at home day and night cleaning diapers, cleaning house, cooking meals, feeding the animals.
“Jesus for YHWH sake get a job, we need the money, all you do is go out and pioneer with your unemployed friends” “I should have listen to my mother and marry the Roman DUX. He married my friend Priscilla, and now she can afford young handsome slaves to help her out when her husband meets with the Emperor for months.
Also Jesus had no idea what the future of humanity was going to be like and how complex the world was going to become. He was just a man no different than other men, living in a very simple world without the complexities of today’s modern world.
Jesus was just another apocalyptic preacher like John the Baptist, preaching the Kingdom of God was at hand and that his generation would see him coming in the Clouds
Mark 14
The high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
Yea, I doubt the High Priest saw Jesus seated at the right hand of Power and coming in the clouds of Heaven.
