Bible Note: Hello Tim, Interesting answer, please give some scripture support for your answer. Also, it may have been a typo, but I don't get that God provided the provision, but rather Moses. Matt. 19:8 appears to show Jesus rebuking this provision; "from the beginning it has not been this way." Jesus is not saying that in the beginning it wasn't, then it was for a time, and now it shouldn't be again. I'm always learning, but to date, I can't remember or think of an instance where God gave a command, then changed the criteria, then changed it back again. Thanks, Jeff |
