TWO LAWS
Jesus said in Matthew 22:37-40, "`You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' "This is [the] first and great commandment. "And [the] second [is] like it: `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' "On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."
Jesus also said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:27-28.
This is a personal promise from Jesus. He said His sheep hear His voice, Jesus knows them, and they follow Jesus. What are the conditions? The conditions are that we hear His voice, and we follow Him. Do we hear Jesus’ voice? Does Jesus know us? And lastly, do we follow Him? If we follow Paul, like many Christians do, we should make an arrangement with Paul through faith to give us eternal life so that no one can snatch us out of Paul’s hand. Repeat, John 10:27-28 is a personal and conditional promise from Jesus. Take it, or leave it!
What does “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” mean? Does it mean to love our neighbor’s wife or husband, e.g. hanky-panky? No! That is called adultery. Jesus wants us to love our wives and our husbands, and nobody else.
The Pharisees came and asked Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce [his] wife?" testing Him. And He answered and said to them, "What did Moses command you?" They said, "Moses permitted [a man] to write a certificate of divorce, and to dismiss [her]." And Jesus answered and said to them, "Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. "But from the beginning of the creation, God `made them male and female.' `For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, `and the two shall become one flesh'; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. "Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate." In the house, His disciples also asked Him again about the same [matter]. So He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. "And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery." Mark 10: 2:12.

Jesus wants husbands and wives to stay together until either one dies. The reason why Moses allowed divorce was because of the hardness of our hearts, Jesus said.
Brethren, we can do whatever we want. Jesus will judge the living and the dead on Judgment Day.
