Do you all suggest that God accepted what he abhors?

He said, “ I hate putting away”.

The Law, ALL of it, was brought in because of sin. Paul even notes that salvation had always been by faith, and that the instituting of the Law by God did not change that. While observing even the moral code cannot justify us, it still demonstrates the holy character of God. The Law is spiritual while we are carnal. That part of Law that allowed for remarriage was valid. But divorce was never God's intention, particularly over trivial things as was becoming common among Jewish men. Jesus made it clear that God had only told Moses to insert that into the Law for protecting innocent women from the hard hearts of their husbands. Jesus showed them the severity of the Law by saying they would be still be held guilty for something God allowed!! Jesus was not instituting a new Law or saying "now e will go back to the original intent." He was saying that the female victims in these tragedies were guiltless one moment and condemned sinners the next. Nor is he invalidating second marriages. On the contrary, those men were stuck in the second marriages, by the decree of God. They could only throw themselves on the mercy of God for their past sinful decisions.
