MATTHEW 19:8, C. H. Cayce “He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives but from the beginning it was not so.” Brother Ayres says, “When was the beginning, and what beginning?” The beginning of the marriage ordinance. In the morning of creation the Lord made a helpmeet for the man, and said, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” There was then given no privilege of putting the wife away. The Primitive Baptist, February 23, 1909.
