Response by Frank L. Hoffman - 14 Jun 2004

Dear Douglas:

Thank you very much for your commentary. It's very interesting to follow another persons thinking process.

I particularly liked your comments about the The Law of Moses being the Law of Man and not God. Jesus made reference to this point in Matthew 19:3-9.  Note particularly verse 8.

3 And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?"

4 He answered, "Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,

5 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'?

6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."

7 They said to him, "Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"

8 He said to them, "For your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another, commits adultery."

In the Love of the Lord,

Frank
