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,
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
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
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.
