Shammai and Hillel
38
What did the School of Shammai teach? How was this view accepted?
Divorce only for the sin of adultery./The view was seen as too narrow and too intolerant by most of the common people of this day.
39
What did the School of Hillel teach? How was this view accepted?
Uncleanness was anything that displeased the husband and therefore permitted divorce for every cause./As divorce had tragically become commonplace at this point in Israel's history, this view had the overwhelming support of the Jewish people.
40
What were some of the acceptable causes for divorce according to the school of Hillel?
Appearing in public with her head or arms uncovered or with disheveled hair./ If he didn't like her cooling or if she burned a meal or put too much salt on the food./Being childless./Speaking to other men or having a bad reputation./Insulting her in-laws or speaking badly of them in her husbands presence./Brawling in the house(defined as speaking loudly enough for the neighbors to hear) or being quarrelsome of troublesome./If he disliked her or found a more attractive woman.
41
What were the two reasons the Pharisees asked Jesus about divorce?
1. Having earlier heard Jesus's strict teachings against divorce, they hoped to cause Jesus to publicly agree with the School of Shammai and therefore damage His popularity. No matter how Jesus answered someone would be angry. 2. They were in Herod's (Who had beheaded John for the same issues) territory and hoped Herod would behead him as well.
42
Why did Jesus answer shock the Pharisees?
He held a stricter position than the School of Shammai unconcerned about their politics or popularity.
43
What does Jesus explain about God's original intentions for marriage?
He goes right past Deuteronomy 24 and straight back to Genesis where God created male and female and where God joined them into a life long on flesh union. He says no man had the authority to put asunder what God had joined together.
44
What was the focus of the Pharisees vs. the focus of Jesus on the subject of divorce?
The focus of the Pharisees was on when was it ok to divorce your mate. The answer of Jesus is that God never intended any marriage to end in divorce.
45
What is the history behind the question the Pharisees asked Jesus? "Why did Moses command divorce?"
Both schools believed that divorce was commanded not merely permitted, under certain conditions. The Talmud and the Rabbis actually spoke of divorce as a virtue almost on par with marriage and even as a religious duty akin to separating yourself from uncleanness.
46
What was Jesus' answer to the Pharisees question on why did Moses command divorce?
Jesus says Moses only permitted divorce. He did not command divorce. There was no circumstances whatsoever where it was commanded of God that people must divorce. The only reason that divorce was even permitted was because of the hardness of their hearts.
47
What do people do who have already divorced and remarried?
A couple who have wrongfully divorced and remarried are to confess their sin and obtain forgiveness from the Lord, but they are not to end their new marriage. To do so would be committing the same sin again not correcting it. Once the sin has been dealt with, the couple is not living in perpetual adultery.
