Oh, how shall not be hard for the man to receive My staying with you? Love has to become the true God in man, and only then it is called this way; otherwise it is called sin, not love. Behold, I came and come, and find the man sinning. Oh, marriage does not mean selfdenial, and I said that he, who wants to come after Me, shall deny of his own self. I told this also to those that are not married and to those that are married, but more I told to those that are married and I also say: the marriage does not mean self-denial. If the Scripture reads about a priest and about the bishop « to be the husband of but one wife », and this, in the Lord, as it is written in the Scriptures, here is what I, the Lord, tell you today: the priest or the bishop cannot belong both to the woman and to the church, and if he wants episcopacy, let him and his wife refrain from debauchery, from the sin within their own body, and, denying of their own self and of their bodies, let them take their cross and follow Me as servants for the heaven and for the church. The church is led by satan today, not by Me, for the head of the church is the man: the man who becomes priest, and who marry first, but the Scriptures says this: « Your wedding and your bed should be clean, and God will judge the immoral ». Amen.
Sons from the cradle, I want to establish through you on the earth the spread table of the kingdom of heavens,( See the selection topic: „ About the kingdom of God”, r. n.) the table of heavenly knowledge upon the people, the table of humility, the meal of My word, for those on the earth do not come, because they have other food to eat, for the man got used to debauchery more than bread, and he suffers from bread but not from debauchery. This comes in hand to the servant of the church from the world, and it comes in his hand, so that the man may not have mind, for if he has, he will open it and see God and the devil with it, and he chooses what is best and most true for his true life.
When the scribes and the Pharisees were tempting Me about the man and the woman and their separation, I answered them according to the law issued by the sinful man, for the law is for the sinners, but I also answered them according to the holy law and said: « He who made them both at the beginning, He made them male and female and said: „ Therefore shall a man leave 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.( See the selection topic: „ The mystery of the man and of the woman”, r. n.) 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.
