CHAPTER 10
MARRIGE AND DIVORCE
MATT : 19
Back to Home
Jesus was a Preacher(the Sower) of "His Word", the 'Spiritual Principles of God' and He was the first anointed Christ(Royal High Priest) of God, called a SATGURU in Panjabi, to appear in the present Dark Age. Jesus was not a teacher of the "moral laws of Moses" that are formulated by men inspired by 'His Word'. Thus, Moses put on Christ, rejected the riches of Pharaohs and wrote "Torah" for the chosen people and the Gentile. Moral teacher is called a Rabbi in M.East and a PANDIT or GURU in the East. For the roots of sound moral laws being in 'His Word', the Rabbi or PANDITS are also said to be the witnesses(moon) to the Light(of the Sun) but not the Lights. An ideal moral teacher has been defined by Jesus in Matt.13.52: "Therefore every moral teacher which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man(and not a woman) that is an householder(hereditary priest of a temple as the people of Levi tribe are in the M.East), which bringeth forth out of his treasure(of gnosis) things New('His Word' that was preached from the Oral Torah but was received only through the Grace of God and the knowledge of which also enabled the moral teachers to over rule the written Torah. Thus, the seat of 'His Word' could also be called 'Mercy') and old(the "letters" of the written Torah that were passed from generation to generation through "teaching" of the "letters").
Thus, John, the Baptist of Levi tribe and in the line of Aaron was an ideal moral teacher, a super ruler, who feared not the secular rulers in proclaiming his moral judgements over such moral issues as to the king Herod marrying the wife of Philip. Whereas Jesus being not a moral teacher, He neither gave His judgements over moral issues, even on the woman caught red-handed in adultery, nor baptised anyone in water.
Now, whatever applies to the "flesh", the opposite applies to "soul" e.g. the moral teachers are the super rulers, the spiritual Preachers, the Apostles, are the super Servants; the moral teachers impose their views, the spiritual Preachers do not do so but make a request; moral laws are learnt by the "letters" whereas the "Spiritual Principles" are understood by spirit through the Grace of God; moral laws are based upon the 'tit-for-tat' animal instincts whereas the "Spiritual Principles" are based upon the "spirit" of humble presentation of the other cheek; etc. Thus, the Parable of Marriage and Divorce is a sound example of the application of above "Spiritual Principle" and it cannot be understood unless a person has the "ears to hear 'His Word'" through the Grace of God.
Thus, some Pharisees(teachers of the moral laws, who were well drunk with the "old wine of the letters") came to test Jesus. Those arrogant Pharisees were jealous of Jesus because Jesus was the Senior Preacher of the "Spiritual Principles" that the junior teachers of the moral laws were not familiar with. Therefore, the arrogant and orthodox Pharisees of "letters" could not help but argue with Jesus over matters that were even not clear to themselves. The Pharisees asked(on the basis of the moral laws), "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" Here, the Pharisees have asked Jesus a question on the moral code of marriage and divorce in which the two persons, male and female, are involved. But as Jesus was not a "moral teacher", He answered this question, through an analogy, by dictating the "Spiritual marriage and divorce", in which the abstract self 'soul' is the 'male' that marries the concrete self 'flesh', the 'female'. And this is how Jesus dictated this very important and instructive concept of the "Spiritual marriage and divorce" between the "soul" and the "flesh" that baffled not only the arrogant Pharisees but also some of His own disciples as well.
'Haven't you read(from the scriptures)", He replied, "that at the beginning the Creator(demi-god Yahweh) 'made them male and female'". Now, the important genetic difference between a male and a female is that the 'male' has X-Y sex chromosome pair whilst the 'female' has X-X. So, the element 'Y' of the sex chromosome pair is called the "seed" and it is used to identify the men of different races, tribes, surnames, etc. Thus, the deeds of wife and children are accounted by the surname of the man only and not by that of the woman's family. So, for the sake of order in and unity and prosperity of the family, the wife and the children should always obey the man who is the head of individual family as Jesus is the Head of collective families in the Church of God. Similarly, God has made 'soul', the symbolic 'man', to dominate over 'flesh', the symbolic 'woman'. Using this symbolic language, Jesus said, "For this cause shall a man(soul) leave Father and Mother(God is the Father of all souls, Who protects us and 'Holy Spirit' is our Mother that enables us to perceive our Father through feeding to us "His Word"), and shall cleave(inseparable union) to his wife(flesh); and they twain(soul and flesh) shall be one flesh(person)?" This Spiritual Principle of marriage is just the opposite of the moral code of marriage in which it is the wife that leaves her mother and father(bride is given away in the marriage by her father) to join her husband. Further, this spiritual marriage between the 'soul' and the 'flesh' dictated by Jesus takes place in the very womb of the woman on her conception of the baby whereas the moral marriage between a boy and a girl takes place outside in the physical world. Also, the moral codes of marriage have exceptions in that if the father of the girl is dead, then her uncle can give her away in the marriage whereas the Spiritual Principles of marriage have no exceptions. That is, "His Word" is absolute Truth, called "SATT" in Panjabi, and, therefore, whatever Jesus did say is an absolute Truth and whosoever shall disobey 'His Word' will definitely suffer. It is worth mentioning here that the ladies for providing the flesh are complementary to God in the procreation of mankind. For this cause, the women love and worship God more than the men who provide the "seeds" for the identification of flesh.
So, after this Spiritual marriage they are no longer two but one. Again, this is just the opposite of the moral marriage in which after the marriage the two persons are still two. "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath cleaved together, let not man put asunder". That is, the people should not kill either an unborn child as in the case of an abortion or a person without justification. In such cases, the 'soul' leaves(divorces) his wife, the 'flesh' and returns to his Parents(God), the very Source of emanation.
Now, most of the present clergy of "letters" do not understand the symbolic language of Jesus and blindly apply the above stated Parable to the physical marriage between a man and a woman. Thus, after performing the social marriage ceremony in the name of Moses, they would blindly proclaim that the two physical selves are no more two but have become one flesh in Jesus - an obvious lie told to the members of congregation who still see them as two persons. But they believe the clergy blindly. The consequences of such blind following have been well stressed by Jesus in Matt.15.14: "Leave them alone; they are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit". This is very true of the sectarian riots in Ulster, India, Lebanon, etc. whereas the USSR was free of such riots when the blind guides were barred from their satanic activities that the psychics call the freedom of expression.
The Pharisees being the 'blind guides', they could not follow Jesus and said; "Why then", they asked, "Moses(one of the Prophets of moral laws) commanded that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?" Here, the arrogant Pharisees quoted the 'moral code of marriage and divorce' as laid down by Prophet Moses. Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives(acquired by them under the moral codes of marriage) because your hearts were hard(because you had become cruel to your wives for the lack of "Holy spirit"). But it was not this way from the beginning. That is, in the times or Age when Adam and Eve were living in the Garden of Eden and enjoying the company of God, the people used to be shameful, truthful, contented and merciful. I tell you(now Jesus outlines the 'Spiritual Principle of divorce' between the 'soul' and the 'flesh') that anyone who divorces his wife except for marital unfaithfulness(now 'soul', the 'man', is married to 'flesh', the 'wife' and it is the duty of both to be faithful to each other. That is, the 'soul' after learning the moral laws from the moral teacher and seeking the Spiritual Principles of life through Grace of God should guide the 'flesh' wisely otherwise the 'flesh' may get itself killed pre-maturely as in the cases of sectarian riots and in such a case it is the 'soul' that is to be blamed for being unfaithful to the 'flesh'. In the same way, the 'flesh' must keep itself in a hale and hearty condition by obeying the moral laws of life taught by a moral teacher(Pharisee) so that the 'soul' could enjoy his stay in the 'flesh', i.e. the spiritual marriage, and also can serve God to his best ability for earning the Wage of Salvation or Eternal Life. On the other hand if the 'flesh' does not obey the moral codes of life learnt by the soul such as the washing of hands before eating, clipping of nails, circumcision, etc. and as the result of it, the flesh gets sick and dies, then the soul will reject(divorce) such an unfaithful and lazy body and will return to his Parents) and marries another woman(the person adopts another surname, tribe, etc. for the sake of economic or political reasons that leads to the change of "seed" or the identification of flesh from the original God-given identity) commits adultery(then such a person becomes a bastard, in a sense worse than those produced in moral adultery, of his own free-will) and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery".
The disciples said to Him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry". This remark by the disciples signifies that this Parable, which is difficult even for them to understand how could the blind Pharisees have understood it? But Jesus replied, "All men cannot receive this Saying, save they to whom It is given".
Finally, the three types of "eunuchs" have already been explained in chapter 6 on "The Hajj".
