kjv@Matthew:19:5 @ And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

kjv@Matthew:19:6 @ Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

kjv@Matthew:19:1-12 > > RandyP :

What would Jesus know about marriage fidelity? Funny you should ask. Who is Jesus married to (future tense)? The Church Israel/Gentile. Has She been faithful? Is She unblemished? Has there not been cause for a writ of divorcement? Continuously. Why then has He not? What is it in Her that He sees in Her future and is willing to go to His grave for? What God has joined together... let no man put asunder. The principal is true as a church. It is true as a couple. Is Christ righteous in not serving us His papers? Is He merciful in this? Shouldn't we likewise be?
