A discussion about Marriage.

I haven't blogged in quite some time so I want to get back into it. I want to talk about Marriage. Listen, making a Marriage work takes constant work, even if you don't have any major problems like infidelity. Just imagine if you were in a relationship that one of the partners strayed in.

Let's look at Matthew 19:1 New Living Translation. A discussion about Divorce and Marriage. Jesus went down to the region of Judea and large crowds followed and he healed their sick. Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question. "Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife for any reason?" Jesus replied "Haven't you read the scriptures?, They record that from the beginning of time God made them male and female. And he said this explains why a man leaves his Father and Mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together."

In the next chapter the Pharisees say "Then why did Moses say in the law that a man could give his wife a written notice of divorce and send her away?"(Deuteronomy 24:1) Jesus replied "Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had originally intended. And I tell you this, whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery-unless his wife has been unfaithful."

Jesus' disciples then say "If this is the case then it is better not to marry" Jesus says "Not everyone can accept this statement. Only those whom God helps. Some are born as eunuchs, some have been made eunuchs by others and some choose not to marry for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven, let anyone accept this that can.

Now let's look at what it means to have a hard heart. I think what this means is that we have emotions, we have feelings, we get our feelings hurt, we hurt people and people hurt us. I hope that is what it means, let me know if you agree or disagree.

Okay, What is a eunuch? To live unmarried or celibate.

You know I am not going to put this in my words, I am going to give this to you and you can do what you will with it. I know what it means to me. Here it is for you. God Bless You! I'll be back, Jerry
