Great Sermon!
Phil
The scriptures say that: “When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her... what does uncleanness mean? There are a lot of opinions. Some opinions are that she may have become sick with a disfiguring skin disease. Or she may become over or under weight. What’s very interesting also, is that only reason the second man divorces her, was that he hated her. Maybe this should be the only requirement for a biblical divorce? But Jesus said the real reason was hardness of heart. Men react in two ways, with love or with hate, when they don’t get what they think, they deserve. Could it be that Moses is taking about engaged couples? Take Joseph, when he heard of Marys condition, he responded with compassion for Mary and though about what to do, he even slept on it. Most men these days would decide what to do in 1 second. Stone her! Men who hated their wives enough to try and get them stoned were, heavily fined and never allowed to divorce them Deut 22:19 this contradicts Deut 24:1-4
