Original Plan

Matthew 19:3–12

3 Some Pharisees approached him, and tested him, saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause whatever?” 4 He said in reply, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘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. Therefore, what God has joined together, no human being must separate.” 7 They said to him, “Then why did Moses command that the man give the woman a bill of divorce and dismiss [her]?” 8 He said to them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9 I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery.” 10 [His] disciples said to him, “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” 11 He answered, “Not all can accept [this] word, but only those to whom that is granted. 12 Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.”

Nogat. Tupela i kamap olsem wanpela bodi. Olsem na samting God i pasim pinis, em man i no ken katim.''

Sapos meri bilong wanpela man em i no bin mekim pasin pamuk, na man i rausim em na i maritim narapela meri, dispela man yet em i mekim pasin pamuk.''

Na sampela i bin ting long mekim wok bilong kingdom bilong heven na ol i tambuim ol yet na ol i no save marit. Tasol man em inap long kisim dispela tok, em i ken kisim.''

1. They are looking for an excuse to accuse him to stay against Moises.

But he is over Moises, and hi is remain the original plan of God, one man with one woman for ever.

2. Why our ancestors allow divorce, and allow polygama.

Before our ancestress the original plan of God is one woman with one man.

But our ancestors corrupted the original plan of God.

3. There is not divorce

whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery

When the marriage is complete lawful no human being can separate, but if is unlawful there is no marriage, to so they can separate.

Several Church Fathers suggest Jesus allowed for divorce in cases of serious sexual sin such as adultery, but he never permitted remarriage after divorce. The spouses may separate in these circumstances by a legal arrangement of living apart, but they cannot break the marriage bond, and they are not free to remarry.

4. The new state

19:12 eunuchs:i.e., royal servants in charge of a king’s wives. To safeguard against sexual temptations, eunuchs in the ancient Near East were either impotent or physically castrated. Jesus speaks metaphorically: those who have made themselves eunuchs are those who voluntarily embrace celibacy in imitation of Jesus and for service in his kingdom. These men are leaders entrusted with the care of Christ’s bride, the Church on earth; embracing consecrated virginity, they live by anticipation the life of heaven (22:30). See note on Mt 9:15. ● The Council of Trent (Sess.24, can.10) teaches in accord with Scripture that the objective state of celibacy is higher than the married state, although both vocations are important for the Church’s life (1 Cor 7:1–8, 32–35; Rev 14:4; CCC 1618–20).

Not all can accept [this] word, but only those to whom that is granted.

For Our Daily Life

The First plan

Nor divorce, nor polygamy.

Life of Peter Torot for restore the original plan in PNG

Peter said, "I am in prison because of the adulterers and because of the church services. Well, I am ready to die. But you must take care of the people." To another friend, Peter added, "If it is God's will, I'll be murdered for the faith. I am a child of the church and therefore for the church I will die."
