Matthew 5:27-30WHAT WAS JESUS DOING?

Jesus is slamming the dooron “no fault” divorce.

“It was said” means that the Phariseeswere quoting only PART of Deuteronomy 24.

They were seizing upon “write a bill”to mean “for any cause at all.”

Jesus simply added the rest of Deuteronomy 24

and explains its ramifications.

Matthew 5:31fWHAT WAS JESUS DOING?

When we apply Jewish Lawto CHRISTIANS, we better be

MIGHTY CAREFUL.

When we take ANYTHINGout of its context,

we better beMIGHTY CAREFUL.

Now, HONESTLY, I don’t have time to develop this further.

Not afraid, not a hypocrite, not duplicitous.

Not an idiot either (I don’t think).

But Matthew 19 is the center of most debates,

So, let’s go there.

(1f) Teaching Multitudes of JEWS

(3) Dealing with Pharisees

(3) Being Tested by Hostile Men

WHAT WAS JESUS DOING?

Correcting, Fixing, or Replacing Moses

Telling Us Who Can Remarry After Divorce
