BIBLICAL CONCEPTS OF MARRIAGE Mercy Please
1. MARRIAGE IS HOLY (What GOD does is HOLY)
GOD made a wife for Adam. And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and God took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof, And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and (God) brought her unto the man. 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. Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Genesis.2: 18,21-25.
What therefore God hath joined together, Mt. 19:6 , Mk.10: 9. And if a virgin marry she hath not sinned. l Corinthians.7: 28.
Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will Judge. Hebrews.13: 4.
2. MARRIAGE IS ONLY FOR THIS EARTHLY LIFE (not in heaven)
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? For they all had her (married her). Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven Matthew.22: 28.
In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage but are as the angels which are in heaven Mark 12:23-25.
3. MARRIAGE IS LIFE LONG (That is as long as both live)
Mark.10: 11,12 And he said unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, commiteth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she commiteth adultery.
Romans 7:1-3 Know ye not, brethren, [for I speak to them that know the law,] how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he lives? For the woman which has a husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he lives: but If the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband lives, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
1 Corinthians 7: 10,11,39 unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives: but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord.
Malachi.2: 13-15 and this have you done again, covering the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regards not the offering any more, nor receives it with good will at your hand. Yet you say, wherefore? "WHY???"
Because the Lord has been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously (divorce, depart from or be unfaithful to): yet (in spite of your divorce) she is thy companion,and the wife of your covenant.
And did he not make you one?... Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the Lord, the God of Israel says that he hates putting away (divorce).
? DO you hear that? Leave your wife and God does not hear your prayers.

What these BIBLICAL terms mean?
{Marriage} is a Creation of God to join a man and a woman, who has no living husband, as one for the rest of their lives. And it is God who set the rules for marriage.To go through a marriage ceremony or to marry someone that God says you can't marry does not make you one-flesh in the eyes of God even if man and his laws say you are.
Here are two examples of marriages God does not accept.
Matthew.5: 32 says: Whoever shall marry a divorced woman commits adultery. And Mark.5: 17 says: for Herod had married Herodias. Just because you marry someone, that does not make them your spouse. God says a man can Not marry a man, can Not marry his mother, and he can Not marry an other man's wife.
{One Flesh} is something God does- that lasts a lifetime- in making a man and a woman one flesh as husband and wife.
For one to lie with another (a human act) does not make two people "one flesh" (a work of God).
For a man to lie with his wife is honorable and godly, and for a man to lay with someone not his wife is sin; but neither human act makes them one-flesh.
An ungodly act of fornication or adultery does not make anyone married, and such an act of sin can not make anyone "one-flesh" either. Laying with anyone is not what makes one married. A harlot is a harlot because of what she does, not because she is married or not married. Only God is able to make two people "one-flesh". And god will not do so against his laws.
{Adultery} is to lay with someone of the opposite sex, who is not your spouse, or to divorce and marry another. (Mark.10:11-12)
{Fornication} is harlotry (including adultery and incest) Strong's N. T. #4202 Fornication is also any sexual perversion (sex with an animal, man with man, child with parent, ...).
{Hardness Of Heart} is destitution of spiritual perception Strong's N.T. # 4541 (ignorance by choice) stupidity or callousness: blindness Strong's N. T.# 4457.
{Let Not \ Let None} puts the responsibility on others also, let not man put asunder (divorce), let none dealtreacherously (divorce) against his wife, let not the husband put away (divorce) his wife.
If I command, ";Do not close the door", and you find the door closed, what then? You say I didn't close it so it's not my responsibly to see that it gets opened. But if I say, "Let not the door be closed", that implies you and everyone that heard the command, not only to not close the door, but also to open it if it is closed. We need to be active watchmen. Not allowing men to think they can take apart what God says is not allowed.
Please read Ezekiel 3: 17-21: When a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
And from the 33rd chapter of Ezekiel. we read: If the wicked restore what he had robbed and walk In the statutes of life he shall surely live. Say unto them, As I live, says the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: We are our brother's keeper, and are instructed to be Praying always in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints Ephesians 6: 18.
{Mercy} is the grace of God freely given to all who turn from wickedness, ask for forgiveness, and live righteously. Isa.27: 11 says: ...for It is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them. And Isaiah 55:6-8: Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways says the Lord.
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy Hosah 10:12. By faith Able offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain (to obey God he had to kill a lamb) Hebrews ll:4.
Eli did not do the right thing in 1Samuel 2:12-4:18 only speaking to his sons Hophni and Phinehas about their evil acts of eating the fat of the sacrifices and having sex with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle, Eli did not stop them but allowing them to continue being priest and continue with their evil acts. God said. ?Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honor your sons above me.?
Here are two examples of marriages God does not accept.
Matthew.5: 32 says: Whoever shall marry a divorced woman commits adultery. And Mark.5: 17 says: for Herod had married Herodias. Just because you marry someone, that does not make them your spouse. God says a man can Not marry a man, can Not marry his mother, and he can Not marry an other man's wife.
{One Flesh} is something God does- that lasts a lifetime- in making a man and a woman one flesh as husband and wife.
For one to lie with another (a human act) does not make two people "one flesh" (a work of God).
For a man to lie with his wife is honorable and godly, and for a man to lay with someone not his wife is sin; but neither human act makes them one-flesh.
An ungodly act of fornication or adultery does not make anyone married, and such an act of sin can not make anyone "one-flesh" either. Laying with anyone is not what makes one married. A harlot is a harlot because of what she does, not because she is married or not married. Only God is able to make two people "one-flesh". And god will not do so against his laws.
{Adultery} is to lay with someone of the opposite sex, who is not your spouse, or to divorce and marry another. (Mark.10:11-12)

{Let Not \ Let None} puts the responsibility on others also, let not man put asunder (divorce), let none dealtreacherously (divorce) against his wife, let not the husband put away (divorce) his wife.

JESUS' teaching on Marriage (disciples are shocked)
6. JESUS' teaching on Marriage (disciples are shocked) PLEASE NOTE that Jesus is talking about people who think they are married. Where OTHERS say "it's ok to divorce and marry another" BUT JESUS says whoever does so is in adultery.
In Matthew 5: 31,32 Jesus states" It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery. And in Matthew 19:8 Jesus says "Moses suffered you because of your hardness of heart" But JESUS says that to marry a divorced person is to commit adultery.
---- DO YOU Know that HARDNESS of heart is unrepentant disobeying and unforgiven sin? ---
Matthew 19:3-10 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them. Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 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? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He said unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts (destitution of spiritual perception S.#4641) suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication (harlotry), and shall marry another, commits adultery: and whoso marries her which is put away doth commit adultery. His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
Mark 10:2-12 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart (stupidity or callousness: -blindness S.#4457) he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And he said unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, commits adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she commits adultery.
Luke 16:18 JESUS Says "Whosoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whosoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery".
In Matthew 5: 31,32 Jesus states" It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery. And in Matthew 19:8 Jesus says "Moses suffered you because of your hardness of heart" But JESUS says that to marry a divorced person is to commit adultery.

7. MARRIAGE IS FOR WOMEN WHO HAVE NO (living) HUSBAND Mt.5:32 whoever marries a divorced woman is committing adultery. Mark 10:11,12 When a woman puts away her husband and marries another, she commits adultery. Lu.16:18 whoever marries a woman put away commits adultery. Romans 7:2,3 husband lives - wife marries another - is adultery. 1Corinthians 7:28,39 ...and if a virgin marry she hath not sinned. (39) The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives; but if husband is dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. Deuteronomy 22 :28,29 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
Herodias, Philip's wife is an example of one man having another man's wife. John the Baptist lost his head over speaking out about this immoral marriage. Some believe God only accepts marriages of Christians. Are these three believers? I think not. Did John lose his head because he didn't know what he was talking about? NO! Some say this marriage was wrong because it was Herod's brother's wife (incest?). The same chapter in Leviticus that says it's wrong to have your brother's wife also says it's wrong to have another's wife (Leviticus18:16-20). Mark.6:17 says For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
Rahab the harlot was in the line of Christ. She was blessed for turning to God and was forgiven of her past sins. In the following references (Matthew 1:5) (Ruth.4:18-22) (Joshua 6:17,23,25) (Hebrews ll:31) we see Rahab as one of the faithful.
Because Joshua saved Her father's household I believe that she was still under her father [not married].
Joshua 6: 25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwells in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Hebrews 11:31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
Bathsheba wife of Uriah, in line of CHRIST. (Matthew 1: 6) And David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias.
This is an example of adultery that David tried to cover up by murder. So that marriage ended because her husband was dead and another started after his death. David did not sin in Marrying a woman who had no living husband. David had to repent for the sins of Adultery, Murder, and Lies, and God forgave him, but he was told, "the sword shall never depart from your house." Reaping the harvest of the seeds we plant. David suffered much because of this sin Please read (2Samuel 11- 12: 24).
Michal was taken from David and “married” another man. Then she was taken from that man and returned David. This is an example of a woman in another "marriage" being returned to her right husband. 1Samuel 18:27, 25:44 2Samuel 3:13-16.
Gomer a wife that commits Adultery, Fornication, Prostitution, with no sign of repentance, but still a wife. (Hosea 1:2)
Does God forgive if you are already in a Divorced remarriage type of relationship not Knowing it was sin? If we stop being in adultery and ask to be forgiven and release that which belongs to someone else. PLEASE read on.
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

Some say this marriage was wrong because it was Herod's brother's wife (incest?). The same chapter in Leviticus that says it's wrong to have your brother's wife also says it's wrong to have another's wife (Leviticus18:16-20). Mark.6:17 says For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
Rahab the harlot was in the line of Christ. She was blessed for turning to God and was forgiven of her past sins. In the following references (Matthew 1:5) (Ruth.4:18-22) (Joshua 6:17,23,25) (Hebrews ll:31) we see Rahab as one of the faithful.
Because Joshua saved Her father's household I believe that she was still under her father [not married].
Joshua 6: 25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwells in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Hebrews 11:31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
Bathsheba wife of Uriah, in line of CHRIST. (Matthew 1: 6) And David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias.
This is an example of adultery that David tried to cover up by murder. So that marriage ended because her husband was dead and another started after his death. David did not sin in Marrying a woman who had no living husband. David had to repent for the sins of Adultery, Murder, and Lies, and God forgave him, but he was told, "the sword shall never depart from your house." Reaping the harvest of the seeds we plant. David suffered much because of this sin Please read (2Samuel 11- 12: 24).
Michal was taken from David and “married” another man. Then she was taken from that man and returned David. This is an example of a woman in another "marriage" being returned to her right husband. 1Samuel 18:27, 25:44 2Samuel 3:13-16.
Gomer a wife that commits Adultery, Fornication, Prostitution, with no sign of repentance, but still a wife. (Hosea 1:2)
Does God forgive if you are already in a Divorced remarriage type of relationship not Knowing it was sin? If we stop being in adultery and ask to be forgiven and release that which belongs to someone else. PLEASE read on.
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
