God's Plan For Marriage

In the beginning God 
created one man (Adam)
for one woman (Eve), 
thereby creating His 
plan for marriage and 
physical intimacy within
the marriage. Please 
keep reading to see 
what Jesus taught 
about marriage. 

Genesis

2:21 And the LORD God 
caused a deep sleep to fall
upon Adam, and he slept: 
and he took one of his ribs, 
and closed up the flesh
instead thereof;

2:22 And the rib, which the 
LORD God had taken from 
man, made he a woman, 
and brought her unto the 
man.

2:23 And Adam said, 
This is now bone of my 
bones, and flesh of my 
flesh: she shall be 
called Woman, because 
she was taken out of 
Man.

2:24 Therefore shall a man 
leave his father and his 
mother, and shall cleave 
unto his wife: and they 
shall be one flesh.

Jesus spoke of marriage as 
being of one man and one 
woman. The Pharisees
(a sect among the Jews 
that very strictly observed
their rules and traditions).
came to Jesus asking if 
they could divorce their 
wife for any reason. 
This post is not about 
divorce so I will just 
give you the part
where Jesus repeats
God's plan for marriage 
to be between one man 
and one woman. 

Matthew 
19:4 And he answered and 
said unto them, Have ye 
not read, that he which 
made them at the beginning 
[God in heaven] made 
them male and female, 

19:5 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?

19:6 Wherefore they are no 
more twain, but one flesh. 
What therefore God hath 
joined together, let not 
man put asunder. 

I realize that the rest 
of this Bible study is 
a cause for controversy, 
but the following Bible 
verses are God's 
warnings to us. I tell 
you these things 
because I do not want 
you to suffer any of those 
consequences. 

I understand this subject 
thoroughly because when 
I was in my preteen years 
my mother chose to leave 
my father and become a 
homosexual (more on 
that later in this post). 
Later in her life she had 
God in her life and she 
came out of that lifestyle 
and she became a 
devoted Bible reader 
and prayer warrior in her 
church. 

The following Bible verses 
are God's warnings to us 
because He says that 
homosexuality is an 
abomination to Him 
(meaning something He 
hates); and there are 
consequences when any 
of us sins against God 
(sin is disobedience to 
God). 

Leviticus 18:22  

Thou shalt not lie with 
mankind, as with 
womankind: it is 
abomination.

Verse 26 below says that men 
and women dishonor their 
bodies by changing the 
natural use of their bodies 
"which is against nature" 
(against what God designed 
us to be - one man with one 
woman). Verse 27 says 
that they who do these 
things (homosexuals) 
receive in themselves 
the recompense 
(payment) of their error. 
Perhaps that payment is 
referring to the 
consequence of the Aids 
virus? 

When the first man Adam 
sinned he gave up dominion 
of the world (which originally 
God had given to him), and 
God allowed Satan (the 
fallen angel Lucifer renamed 
Satan) to take over the 
world - temporarily. 

God allows Satan to do stuff 
to us (usually to get our 
attention and bring us to 
repentance of our sin and 
back into a restored 
relationship with God in 
heaven). We know this is 
true because God gave 
Satan power to do bad stuff
to Job, but he also told 
Satan he was not to kill 
Job. Satan has no power 
unless God allows him to. 
Satan is an angel that
was created by God. 

Romans

1:24 Wherefore God also 
gave them up to 
uncleanness through the 
lusts of their own hearts, 
to dishonour their own 
bodies between 
themselves: 

1:25 Who changed the truth 
of God into a lie, and 
worshipped and served the 
creature more than the 
Creator, who is blessed for 
ever. Amen.

1:26 For this cause God gave 
them up* unto vile affections: 
for even their women did 
change the natural use into 
that which is against nature:

(*In other words, God allowed 
them to do exactly what they 
wanted to do, even though it 
was against what God had 
created them to do (marry 
one woman to one man). 
God is not a bully. He will 
not force us to obey Him. 
He wants us to obey Him 
out of our love for Him. 

1:27 And likewise also the 
men, leaving the natural use of 
the woman, burned in their 
lust one toward another; 
men with men working that 
which is unseemly, and 
receiving in themselves 
that recompence of their 
error which was meet*.

In the following Bible history 
account the men of Sodom 
demanded that Lot send out 
the men who were visiting in 
Lot's home. Lot's visitors 
were actually angels who 
had come to warn Lot to 
get out of Sodom before 
God destroyed the city. The 
city's men wanted to force 
these visitors to have sex 
with them. God says that 
sodomy is an abomination to
Him. Read further to see 
what God did to Sodom 
because of their sin of 
homosexuality.

1 Kings
14:22 And Judah [the 
northern kingdom of Israel] 
did evil in the sight of the 
LORD, and they provoked 
him to jealousy with their 
sins which they had 
committed, above all that 
their fathers had done.

14:24 And there were also 
sodomites in the land: and 
they did according to all the 
abominations of the nations 
which the LORD cast out 
before the children of Israel.

God destroyed Sodom and 
Gomorrha because of their 
sins of fornication and 
"going after strange flesh" 
(homosexuality); and God 
said that they will suffer 
the vengeance of eternal fire.

Jude

1:5 I will therefore put you in 
remembrance, though ye 
once knew this, how that 
the Lord, having saved the 
people out of the land of 
Egypt, afterward destroyed 
them that believed not.

1:6 And the angels which 
kept not their first estate, 
but left their own habitation, 
he hath reserved in 
everlasting chains under 
darkness unto the 
judgment of the great day.

1:7 Evan as Sodom and 
Gomorrha, and the cities 
about them in like manner, 
giving themselves over to 
fornication, and going 
after strange flesh, are 
set forth for an example, 
suffering the vengeance 
of eternal fire.

The Bible says that in the 
'Last Days' (we're living in 
the Last Days now) sin 
shall abound, including 
homosexuality ("without 
natural affection") instead 
of living in a God-ordained 
sexual relationship 
between one man and 
one woman inside of 
marriage. 

2 Timothy
3:1 This know also, that in 
the last days perilous times 
shall come.

3:2 For men shall be lovers 
of their own selves, covetous, 
boasters, proud, blasphemers, 
disobedient to parents, 
unthankful, unholy,

3:3 Without natural affection
trucebreakers, false accusers, 
incontinent, fierce, despisers 
of those that are good,

3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, 
lovers of pleasures more 
than lovers of God;

3:5 Having a form of 
godliness, but denying the 
power thereof: from such 
turn away.

3:6 For of this sort are they 
which creep into houses, 
and lead captive silly women 
laden with sins, led away 
with divers lusts,

3:7 Ever learning, and never 
able to come to the 
knowledge of the truth.

My dear Mother was not 
born a homosexual. She 
had been married twice, and 
she had had a child with 
each of her husbands. But 
when Mom was a very 
small girl she was assaulted 
twice. The first assault was 
committed by a group of 
older boys who knocked 
her down on her way 
home from school. They 
took off her underpants and 
stood around looking at her 
young naked body! Mom 
was so embarrassed and 
humiliated by this assault 
that she never even told her 
mother about it! The second 
assault happened when a 
much older girl caught Mom 
(who was still a very young 
girl at the time) on her way 
home from school and forced 
her to go behind a house 
and commit a homosexual act 
with her. The girl threatened 
Mom afterwards that she 
would kill Mom if she ever 
told what the girl had forced 
her to do! Remember, Mom 
was just a little girl at the 
time; and she was scared 
of this older, bigger girl. 
Mom also never told her mom 
or either of her husbands 
why she was so 'frigid' 
around men, because she 
was embarrassed about 
these assaults. She told 
me that she felt guilty about 
them - as if she had done 
something wrong to 
encourage these assaults! 
She knew that that didn't 
make sense to blame 
herself, but it was what she 
felt. I only found out about 
her experiences when I was 
about 40 years old; and she 
broke down crying and told 
me how she was still hurt 
by the memory of these 
assaults that happened to her 
more than 60 years before! 
Many of Mom's homosexual 
friends said that that is also 
how they came to be involved 
in the same-sex lifestyle - 
after they had been assaulted 
or seduced by a trusted friend 
or family member. They were 
not born that way! When Mom 
left my Dad for a woman, she 
later told me that she felt that 
that girl who had forced her to 
commit that homosexual act 
so many years before must 
have chosen Mom for a 
reason! Wow! So, my precious 
Mom actually thought that she 
was meant to become a 
homosexual - just because 
that girl who had assaulted 
her thought Mom was an 
easy to threaten choice to 
commit her homosexual 
assault on! What power Mom 
gave that girl over her life! 
How sad. That homosexual 
lifestyle caused my Mom so 
much pain and heartache. 

The information from God's
Word is a warning, dear 
reader. I hope that you will 
take heed. God wants you 
to spend eternity in heaven 
with him, but he cannot be 
around sin. God says that 
we are all sinners; but 
God made THE way for us 
to be washed clean of those 
sins so we can choose to 
spend eternity in heaven 
with him where there is no 
more pain, heartache, or 
tears, or sorrow. 

Here is a link to a 
short post I did on 
how to be saved from 
our sins and know that 
we will go to heaven 
when we die. This is 
why I no longer fear 
what comes after death. 
What hope, joy, and
peace there is in 
knowing that my 
future will be in
heaven with my
loving Saviour,
Jesus Christ.
