We know what Moses said and what Paul said, but we do not accept their words as superior or contradictory to what Jesus said.
JESUS' teaching on Marriage (disciples are shocked)
PLEASE NOTE that Jesus is talking about people who think they are married. Where OTHERS say "it's ok to divorce and marry another" BUT JESUS says whoever does so is in adultery.
In Matthew 5: 31,32 Jesus states" It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery. And in Matthew 19:8 Jesus says "Moses suffered you because of your hardness of heart" But JESUS says that to marry a divorced person is to commit adultery.
---- DO YOU Know that HARDNESS of heart is unrepentant disobeying and unforgiven sin? ---
Matthew 19:3-10 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them. Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He said unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts (destitution of spiritual perception S.#4641) suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication (Sex before marriage), and shall marry another, commits adultery: and whoso marries her which is put away doth commit adultery. His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. (disciples say it is not good to marry or it is better to be a eunuch, and Jesus responds, All men cannot receive being a eunuch)
Mark 10:2-12 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. And Jesus answered and said unto them, For 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 cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And he said unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, commits adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she commits adultery. (Adultery is a sex sin that a married person commits. Therefore calling it adultery is saying the first marriage is not done away with but is still continuing)
Luke 16:18 JESUS Says "Whosoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whosoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery".
The question is how do they commit adultery?

Inquiring into the clear passages. Jesus says if a person enters into a remarriage state then he or she “commits adu1tery”. The question is how do they commit adultery? Is it once (at the time when they first enter into the new marriage) or do they “commit” adultery continuously so long as they are in the new marriage? Looking at the Greek in these passages gives us the answer to this question. The Greek verb for “commits adultery” is in the present tense. The present tense in Greek generally indicates that something happens continuously in an on going manner. When a Greek verb is written in the present tense it implies that it has, continued from the moment that it began up until the present and is still continuing. Page 113
In Luke 16:18 Jesus declares:
Whoever puts away (present continuous tense) his wife, and marries (present continuous tense) another, commits adultery (present continuous tense) and whoever marries (present continuous tense) her that is put away from her husband commits adultery (present continuous tense) Page 117
This passage is really saying:
"Whoever, continues to put away his wife, and enters into a continuous and ongoing state of marriage with another, commits adultery continuously: and whoever enters into a continuous and ongoing state of marriage with her that is put away from her husband commits adultery continuously" Page 118
