Teaching About Divorce
Mar 10:1 And having risen from there, He comes to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again multitudes come together to Him, and as He had been accustomed, again He was teaching them.
Having risen from where He and the disciples were, having talk to his disciples about who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, as well as talking about Gehenna and to cut things off that hinder ones relationship with God, He and the disciples come to the coasts of Judea.
The province of Judea, as distinguished from Galilee and Samaria, included the territories of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Dan, Simeon, and part of Ephraim. Under the Romans it was a part of the province of Syria, and was governed by a procurator.
Jesus and his disciples travel through Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again multitudes come together to Him, and as He had been accustomed, again He was teaching them.
Jesus had traveled many times through Jordan, and many multitude of peoples of that land traveled with him, he had become accustomed, and again he would start teaching them, in parables, and probably also from the Old Testament scriptures which they had available in that day in age.
Mar 10:2 And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned Him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting Him,
And the Pharisees (Phar'isees. A religious party or school among the Jews at the time of Christ, so called from perishin, the Aramaic form of the Hebrew word, perushim, "separated". The chief sects among the Jews were the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the Essenes, who may be described respectively as the Formalists, the Freethinkers and the Puritans.) There was also the scribes and they were very skillful in the Law of Moses in which they held higher than God himself to some degree. Jesus was also coming across these Jewish people, and was also was against them at every step due to their neglect of not only God being far from their hearts, but also towards others.
The Pharisees having come near, started to question Jesus, if it was lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting Him.
This also happened in the account of Matthew,
Mat 19:3 And the Pharisees came near to Him, tempting Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?”
The Pharisees are always trying to catch Jesus in a lie, in so that they would be able to kill him as they were jealous and envious of Him.
Mar 10:3 and He answering said to them, “What did Moses command you?”
In response Jesus spoke saying "What did Moses command you?"
Mar 10:4 And they said, “Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.”
The Pharisees knew very well what was written to them and it is founded in Deuteronomy 24:
Deu 24:1 “When a man takes a wife and has married her, and it has been, if she does not find grace in his eyes (for he has found nakedness in her of anything), then he has written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house;
Deu 24:2 when she has gone out of his house, and has gone and been another man’s,
Deu 24:3 and the latter man has hated her, and written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house, or when the latter man dies, who has taken her to himself for a wife,
Deu 24:4 her former husband who sent her away is not able to return to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she has become defiled; for it [is] an abomination before YHWH, and you do not cause the land to sin which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance.
A quote from John Darby
and (chap. 24) a more serious thing, divorce, and everything relative to it; delicacy towards the poor, the hire of labourers, the gleaning for the poor. The spirit of all these ordinances is very instructive, and the goodness and the tenderness of God, who deigns to take knowledge of all these things, and to teach His people delicacy, propriety, consideration for others, sensitiveness, and those feelings which, by removing brutality, and softening the hardness of the heart of man, fashion his ways according to that love with which the Spirit of God clothes Himself when He acts in the heart of man. Here, it is true, everything is imperfect. There are things taken for granted here, which form the basis of these ordinances, which the full operation of the Spirit of Christ would entirely take away; divorce, for instance, and other things endured; owing their existence to the hardness of man's heart. But the limitations and conditions, assigned by the law of God, keep in check the wickedness of that will which hardens itself, while it oppresses others.
Mar 10:5 And Jesus answering said to them, “For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,
Jesus said back answered saying to them, For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,
As the commentary eluded to the divorcement of another was a cause of a stiff heart, to be opposed to the needs of another, in which has now caused separation from having love toward the other, in which may or may not have been the case of why they may have been married.
Considering that Jesus is the one whom we come to in faith, and innately become - in Jesus Christ by the Spirit of Christ dwelling with-in and the Holy Spirit which proceeds and comes from the Father in Heaven, by trusting in the written accounts, one can become harden in their heart toward Christ and divorce the Spirit.
Marriage itself is something that I hear that 50% of the time people end up getting divorces in the court systems, maybe due to complications in the marriage and thus divorces through the worldly system are given. However God looks at Marriage as a coming together of Man and women, just as one become married to Jesus - as persay 'being part of the bride of Christ back in that day in age' and it is for now today too because we become one in Christ through Faith in the death, burial, and resurrection.
God is okay with people married, but what he hates is the divorcing, however the sin of all of us has been paid for, and knowing these truths can help from avoiding another divorce in the future if one decides to become married. Because it is something that is special, and the Man and the Woman are suppose to support one another, and that can be successful if they both look towards God, who has allowed them joined together in the first place however it is not always like as one be it man or woman can find fault in their husband and that can be due to a myriad of Circumstances.
Mar 10:6 but from the beginning of the creation, God made them a male and a female;
Gen 1:27 And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.
Gen 5:2 a male and a female He hath prepared them, and He blesseth them, and calleth their name Man, in the day of their being prepared.
Earlier in Deu 24:4 her former husband who sent her away is not able to return to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she has become defiled; for it [is] an abomination before YHWH, and you do not cause the land to sin which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance.
God was given them a land of inheritance - this inheritance now today is the inheritance of the Holy Spirt and the spirit of Christ that lives with-in us. Those who are married, are united, when they come together joining no longer being two flesh; but one flesh in the ceremony of marriage with is - sex. As God created Man and Female - and when they are united that is what is considered Marriage in Gods Eyes, it is not what the world - instates ordained by a priest in a church somewhere. God himself considers marriage when two become one.
