Family of God: Re: [Church_of_Christ] Re: Questions on Marriage

Beth previously: No matter what he "allowed" to transpire in the old Testament between man and woman...all that changed with the nailing of the Law to the cross.

Shawn writes: So all of those "Thou shalt nots" are no longer necessary.

Beth: Only those that were carried over to the Law of Christ. You do understand that we are now living under a "new" law and not the old don't you? :-)

Beth quoted previously: Matthew 9:4-8 "Haven't you read," he 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. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?" He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

Shawn writes: Beth, where did YHWH EVER allow humans to change His law?

Beth: In pink highlight....God's original design for man and woman

In yellow highlight.....God allowed them to do other than what He had originally planned.....because of what?????? The hardness of their hearts?

I would say that is at least one example of God allowing humans to change His law. You think not??????
