Since Mark, like the rest of the synoptic gospels was heavily influenced by Paul, we should be careful about what ideas we attribute to Jesus—who also says somewhere that he has no desire to change anything in the Law.piershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042745369869839918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939290855438272306.post-43959730330676080292012-07-26T21:15:34.494-05:002012-07-26T21:15:34.494-05:00Jesus pretty much banned divorce--a ban ignored by...Jesus pretty much banned divorce--a ban ignored by Protestants and evaded by the Catholic Church, which grants annulments. Here are his words:<br />Matthew 5:31-32<br /> 31 It was also said, “Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce. 32 But I say to you that every one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.<br />He also introduced the idea of eternal damnation, which is not found anywhere in the Old Testament.George Jochnowitzhttp://www.jochnowitz.netnoreply@blogger.com
