Matt 5:27-48

The MDB's remarks on vs 31 are both good and clear. A correct interpretation of Deuteronomy 24:1-4 does not expand into broad permissions for divorce at all. Rather Moses protects the woman in the ancient world setting.

About abuse Vs 45: If you think you've been abused and taken advantage of, do you ever hear God object to what people do with what He gives them? (Rest assured He will, but how hard it is for us to wait.)
