Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B<br />
that the certificate of divorce of Moses finds complete justification before all<br />
better human common sense.‖<br />
[GGJ.05_256,02] At this I said to the somewhat embarrassed disciples, ―Not<br />
all people accept the word (which was spoken to the Pharisees), but instead<br />
only those to whom it is given to understand (Mt.19:11), and until now you<br />
have not yet understood it, although it has been given to you to understand;<br />
but you should nonetheless understand it, and you will!<br />
[GGJ.05_256,03] Firstly I direct you all back to what I have already said<br />
many times about this issue, and in an exhaustive manner.<br />
[GGJ.05_256,04] But secondly it goes without saying that I would never have<br />
informed you of a certificate of divorce through Moses if in certain cases the<br />
necessity was not visible to Me, which can be well justified. But don‘t you<br />
know then what a destructive abuse the Pharisees of these days and for a<br />
long time have been making with divorces?! They themselves secretly plant<br />
all sorts of dissatisfaction in an otherwise good marriage and finally bring<br />
things so far that the couple have to divorce. Well, the divorce is performed<br />
by the Pharisees and costs a lot of money, and that is exactly the reason why<br />
divorces occur so frequently these days, and why I have placed the original<br />
Law of God before the eyes of the Pharisees in this respect. They know My<br />
power, and so they went away with a secret anger.<br />
[GGJ.05_256,05] But thirdly I say to you all something else and pay attention<br />
to it and even write it down! Behold, there are among the people of both<br />
sexes some who were born eunuchs from their mother‘s womb, eunuchs, but<br />
only male ones, who were made eunuchs by men for whatever reason, and<br />
there are also very many who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the<br />
kingdom of heaven! Whoever is able to understand that, let him understand<br />
it. (Mt.19:12)<br />
[GGJ.05_256,06] In short, these people are no longer suitable for marriage,<br />
and such a marriage performed with these eunuchs is fully unlawful and can<br />
be dissolved completely without any further thought, and the person who is<br />
not a eunuch can marry again without committing adultery.<br />
[GGJ.05_256,07] But if someone‘s wife is barren, he should do in the correct<br />
sense what the old fathers did so that they bore a seed, and he will not been<br />
called before any judgment for this. I now believe that you will finally have<br />
understood this.‖<br />
[GGJ.05_256,08] Said Peter: ―Except for one thing; when someone has a<br />
wife who despite all warnings and loving chastisement nonetheless is<br />
adulterous out of inborn pure randiness and is totally incorrigible, should one<br />
then not divorce such a wife? Or what is the correct thing one should do<br />
according to Your will?‖<br />
