God allows the medical system for the hardness of Christians' hearts.
Matthew 19:4-8
New King James Version (NKJV)
[sup]4 [/sup]And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made[sup][a][/sup] them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’[sup][b][/sup] [sup]5 [/sup]and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?[sup][c][/sup] [sup]6 [/sup]So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
[sup]7 [/sup]They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”
[sup]8 [/sup]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.
The Bible says this about believers:
Ephesians 5:30
New King James Version (NKJV)
[sup]30 [/sup]For we are members of His body,[sup][a][/sup] of His flesh and of His bones.
Jesus is our betrothed and we His. In Jewish custom this was as a marriage without consummation. Would Jesus want His one flesh bride to go to an unregenerate system be stripped naked, cut up and given drugs that all harm the human body, when He died a horrible death to provide all the healing she would ever need by trusting her husband alone?
Jesus allows it for the hardness of Christians' hearts just as divorce was allowed in the OT for any reason.
Does anyone believe the bride will have a hard heart?
