The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’

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’?

So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”

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.

And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”

I'm with you. I don't see the nuance.

I’m not much of an intellectual, but it seems clear enough to me that there isn’t much room for man to separate, or for homo “marriage.” I don’t think I’d take a chance on thinking that I have the ‘nuance’ correct considering the penalty for being wrong. I also remember something about leading someone else wrong, that it was better to have a millstone around your neck and thrown in the sea.

That is pretty clear as well.
