Sex is a picture of progression in prayer and communion with Him (It’s also a picture of the temple) - the believer begins by praying and inviting Jesus’s presence, calling His name. The believer prays until they feel a release or an importation. Praying and listening until they receive a response.
No, it's a animalistic instinct, using another person's body to satisfy your own need. All animals have sex and live for sex, a follower of Christ is called for a higher purpose, neither prayer nor communion requires your participation with your naughty bit which God designed for peeing.
And I know from the word of God that marriage is for all mankind, not Christians only. Your personal story is purely anectodal.
You said it was referring a father's disposal of his daughter, don't ask me.
No, we're speaking of the IDOLATRY of marriage. Your "if" is just a baseless assumption.
That's your busines which I asked nothing about.
Yes.
From a godly standpoint, God himself never married, neither did Paul, Timothy, John, and generations of church fathers and priests. Your view is a modern invention.
And the believer is also smart enough to avoid such conflict in the first place.
Then why are you so vehemently arguing for your earthly attachment when you should've been watching out for the signs of his coming, speaking of the Olivet Discourse?
Yes, it is referring to gluttony and drunkenness at the fateful time where you should've been watching out for the signs of his coming. It's about the attitude of gross negligence.
My claim is based on the word of God. I asked you again, was your marriage arranged or not? The model for marriage established by God is arranged marriage, God made Eve for Adam and joined them together. If you or anybody married on your own initiative, don't call that godly, that'd be taking the Lord's name in vain, and the error is all yours.
It is a folly to have blinded followed the life script the world prescribed to you and put a Christian label on it.
You’ve got an anger there, or something has happened and the enemy is blocking you from seeing this.
You're lying by omission. In all these verses, it states a man should be joined to his WIFE - not girlfriend, companion or fiancee, at that point they were already married. But how did she become his wife in the first place?
Thanks, just a kind reminder, we live in a sinful and broken world, currently with a hostility and a distrust between men and women. Dating is all about your own feelings, anything godly is just your sanctimony. If you date that leads to marriage, it's not godly; if a marriage's godly, it can't be the result of dating.
No, I have a common sense. The enemy's distraction is the obsession with marriage, sex, romance, the whole package.
The key word is “the enemy”. Satan wants to attack this union. He wants to pervert it and destroy couples from coming together as one (“…a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined with his wife. The two shall become one flesh. What God has joined together…”). For those that are married, this is the one area where restoration happens in the marriage. The Bible also says, “…the marriage bed is undefiled.” Not everyone gets it right, and this is under heavy attack with porn and infidelity today, but God has blessed the marriage union between the husband and the wife.
For those who're already married, good for them, but I'm talking about singles who have no wife to join with. The question is this - will you worship marriage and use God to get you a wife - or God, despite the lack of marriage? Once again, the inconvenient fact is that we're all born single, no one is entitled to a partner, God didn't slice open every Adam and make an Eve out of his rib. You don't need to be bothered with these "key words" when there's no wife to join with and no marraige bed to defile.
Got it. You don’t have to marry. Paul said it would be “better not to marry…unless a man couldn’t control his urges then he should…”Of course they were going through executions, torture, and punishment, so Paul probably thought it was easier not to drag a family through all that.
