Gospel Mk 10:1-12
Jesus came into the district of Judea and across the Jordan.
Again crowds gathered around him and, as was his custom,
he again taught them.
The Pharisees approached him and asked,
“Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?”
They were testing him.
He said to them in reply, “What did Moses command you?”
They replied,
“Moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce
and dismiss her.”
But Jesus told them,
“Because of the hardness of your hearts
he wrote you this commandment.
But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.
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 they are no longer two but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together,
no human being must separate.”
In the house the disciples again questioned Jesus about this.
He said to them,
“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another
commits adultery against her;
and if she divorces her husband and marries another,
she commits adultery.”
Why the deception...Your religion is full of deception...How many Catholics are there that if only they would check the scriptures would see that your religion is lying to them???
Mat 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Why are you participating in this deception???
How bout, if you cause any of these little ones to sin, you may as well tie a millstone around your neck and cast yourself into the sea.
So...which is it? Is the pope infallible or not? If church leaders hid child sexual abuse...then why are they not standing on the edge of the sea with millstones tied to’em?
Why are there STILL to this day, pedophile priest among the ranks of the clergy? Why is there STILL to this day a large homosexual mafia within the church? Are they going to be purged?
My point is:
God's grace is for everyone...not just the perfect. Not just for those who obtain a state of grace through a few hail Mary's and a confessional. God's mercy extends to those who've made bad choices, not just for those who work the parking lot on Sunday or serve as the squared away lay member.
Speaking of the holy queen, where on earth do you guys get this from. Referring to Mary as an advocate? Where is this stuff in scripture...the church just made this stuff up.
How bout the pagan practices still in use today within the church. You'd think by now the pope would recognize such heresies and purge the church of them. But hey, no ones perfect...not even the pope.
