Marriage, Divorce & Remarriage, The Uniform Teaching of Moses, Jesus & Paul
Tonight I read your book Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage cover-to-cover. I could not put it down. It started over dinner, and here it is almost 2 a.m. I've been so frustrated with the various positions out there trying to explain away Moses, Jesus, and Paul's ""apparent"" discrepencies, when knowing all the time that there had to be a better explanation than what was being presented....By the way, I intend to order multiple copies of your book to distribute to friends of mine. --Ohio ChristianTo my chagrin, one of our members suggested that we study divorce and remarriage, since we had differing backgrounds and views on the subject. I quickly volunteered to teach the class (to give an advantage to the truth), and your book was available. I knew it would be well done, even if I disagreed with it, and we ordered a set of your books for each family. Within a few weeks of study, you had stolen away the bedrock of my orthodoxy, and I was amazed at how three generations of Texan Christians could have miserably failed to discern what was going on in Matthews narrative and erroneously drawn sharp lines of fellowship around a completely false interpretation. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the study and came together. We went on to study all of your other books and tracts together. While I am not yet convinced that NT divorce is the same as OT divorce, I have been able to use your line of thought and accurate definitions to expose the fatal fallacies of the orthodox position to numerous friends. It is humbling to behold the power of truth to undo the grip of a long held teaching within mere minutes. --Texas ChristianI have read your MDR book 3 times since I received it ... At first reading I felt that you were correct -- and the more I think about it, the more I am convinced ... This really has shaken me -- and I suppose that is a great lesson within itself ... Even though I have tried to question everything and have taught others to do so, I now realize how difficult it is to get through long accepted assumptions.. And I am astounded at how so many have been so wrong for so long ... I am still in the ""testing"" phase, but I cannot imagine a successful rebuttal. --Alabama Elder
