The mystery of the man and of the woman
his mother and shall cleave to his wife : and they shall be one flesh and so they are no longer two . What therefore God has joined together let not man separate ”». But behold , the man separated as both the man and the woman commit fornication and they are no longer one flesh ; they are not the same as God made them , but each one is with his own body and does what they want and what they like , as their body leads them . Oh , it is a great mystery a man to be one flesh with his wife not two , but this mystery was only at the beginning and that is all , for the man violated it . The man separated what God joined together and the two were no longer one flesh , but rather they were two , and each one let oneself lured by the other one , and the man is enticed into debauchery by his own lust without any kind of orderliness . The Pharisees , who wanted to catch Me with the word at all costs , asked Me then : « Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement and to put her away ?». And I answered them : « Because Moses allowed you to leave your women after the hardness of your heart , but it was not so from the beginning . But I tell you that if you leave your women except for lewdness and marry another , you commit adultery and if you marry the one put away , you also commit adultery ». Oh , what else should I tell these people who had their body unrestrained against their own soul ? When My disciples heard what I said , they asked Me this : « Lord , if the case with the man is so with his wife , it is no good to marry ». And I strengthened their wisdom saying : « This is a mystery and a word of mystery and only they understand to whom it is given to understand ». And I also told them : « He , who is able to perceive it , let him perceive it ». Amen . I was speaking carefully with them , as I had work upon them , and when they rebuked the children who were brought to Me , I told them not to rebuke or stop them coming to Me for of such was the kingdom of heaven , it was of those that were not lewd .
The apostle Paul answered also carefully at the beginning of My church when asked by those that joined the clean teaching and said : « It is good for the man not to touch a woman ; nevertheless , to avoid lewdness , let every man have his own wife , and let every woman have her own husband , for they who have come together for a long time are tempted by satan for their incontinence ». But the restrained one does not want this law for he is clean . Oh , it has been so on earth since the man ’ s falling . The one who cannot restrain , that one is getting married , as when choosing between fire and marriage , marriage is better than fire . This is the law for those who cannot restrain and are not free . My apostle sought by all means to give laws against disorder over the churches , but he was saying : « Are you bound to a wife ? Do not seek to be loosed . Are you loosed from a wife ? Do not seek a wife ». And he also said : « Let they who have wives be as though they had none , as the fashion of this world passes away ». And he also said : « He that is unmarried , is anxious for the things that belong to the Lord , how he may please the Lord . But he that is married , is anxious for the things that are of the world , how he may please his wife and thus he is divided ». And he also said : « The unmarried woman or the virgin is anxious for the things of the Lord , that she may be holy , both in body and in spirit . But she that is married , is anxious for the things of the world , how she may please her husband ». And to all these he added : « I speak this for your own profit ; not that I may cast a snare upon you , as I advise you for that which is comely and decency , and that you may attend upon the Lord without distraction ; for I speak , not the Lord ».
Amen , amen I say to you , sons which carry My word to the nations of the earth : I did not tell the man to get married . The marriage , which man set among the mysteries of the church , is not a mystery but a pain for Me , for the man gives his body up to incontinence by marriage .
