His will but it does not establish that this course of action is without sin by some
               person somewhere along the line, there is always sin in a secondary will. A good
               example of this is divorce under the Law, which was a secondary will. Jesus
               establishes the distinction between the two forms of will (Mat 19:7-8). Divorce on
               the grounds of "some uncleanness in her" was the specific secondary referred to
               here (Deut 24:1, 3). Divorce as a permissable secondary will first involves the sin
               of divorce which is against the primary will of God (Mat 19:6, Mark 10:9) and the
               Law (Deut 30:10, Rev 22:18-19). The divorce of a consummated marriage
               followed by a consumated re-marriage also necessarily involves adultery (Mark
               10:11-12, Luke 16:18). With an unconsummated marriage (Mat 19:4-6, Mark 10:6-
               8, 1 Cor 6:16, Eph 5:31) there is one exception allowed, in the context of adultery,
               which is if there is an instance of fornication prior to the marriage ceremony (Mat
               5:32, 19:9). Any marriage ceremony, secular or religious, recognised as valid by
               Man is valid for God under the Law (Mark 10:5-12 'beginning' and 'whosoever',
               Luke 16:18 'whosoever'). The Law is therefore contradictory as it allows divorce
               (Deut 24:1, Mat 19:7-8) and yet it is also a sin (Mat 19:6, Mark 10:9). This
               contradiction is merely the inevitable result of Man attempting to be God by being
               under the Law (Gen 2:17, 3:5). In any case under grace we are married in a sense
               now, whilst on Earth, (though not under law or the law of marriage - Rom 10:4) to
               Christ (Mark 12:25-27, Luke 20:35-36, Rom 7:4, 1 Cor 7:29). Later we are not
               married to Christ individually or to anyone (Mark 12:25-27, Luke 20:35-36) but as
               part of the Bride (Rev 21:9). Christians are not under the law of marriage i.e. the
               Law or that part of it relating to marriage (Rom 10:4).


               Adam, Individual and Parabolic, & Generic


               The plural evolved men (Gen 1:27 - ‘male and female’ ‘image’, 28 - ‘multiply’,
               5:2) evolved as male and female simultaneously and were distinct from the
               individual and parabolical Adam made directly by God from the soil and who
               received from God the breath of life (Gen 2:7). He was made male-only (Gen
               2:21).


               Adam, First & Second

               The first Adam is the generic, plural Adam or Homo sapiens - male and female
               (Gen 5:1-2), not a parable (Gen 5:1-2), and Christ is the second (1 Cor 15:45-47).


               Sons of God & Men


               The men most directly descended from the people chosen by God were known as
               the sons of God and inter-bred with the other evolved men - the ‘daughters of
