A rarely quoted passage in the New Testament

[Boojatta]

Matthew 19 (King James Version)

7 They say unto Him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

8 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.

9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

10 They say unto Him, We're going to lose England when some king wants a divorce. How can you allow the Catholic Church to be fragmented and to lose its foothold in England?

11 Jesus said, Where is this place England that you refer to?

12 They say unto Him, England is the land of the English. You're speaking English right now, you mystery-monger.

13 Jesus said, No, my words are going to be translated into English, but I don't speak the language.

14 They say unto him, well that's pretty cool, but what about the Catholic Church losing its foothold in England? How can you stand here proclaiming a rigid policy on divorce while ignoring the consequences?

15 Jesus said, Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

16 They say unto him, Some friendly advice: stay out of Northern Ireland, you Protestant bastard.

2. And another seldom-quoted section...

Nonsense 3

1. And it shall come to pass that in a land yet unknown, one called Boojatta shall be born.

2. And he shall grow to adulthood and shall write that which is nonsense and confusion unto those who read.

3. And the multitude shall ignore his words, for they are confusion unto them.

4. And yet, Boojatta shall persist in his writings, and shall place them in the R/T section, where they may be seen. And the dwellers in that place shall heap scorn and ridicule upon them.

5. Thus shall it happen, saith the Lord.
