1 | Prove having sex makes one married | Matt 18:6 | Searcher56 | 126492 | ||
I will not waste my breath on you again. If fact, Eve was called Adam's wife (Gen 3:20) and God wrote Scripture, so He announced it. And it before they had sex (Gen 4:1). Genesis 4:17 says Cain had relations with his wife, not had relations so became his wife. I believe Isaac was married to Rebekah before they had sex. She went to his mother's tent before they were married (Gen 24:66). Until you can show me having sex makes one married, I will declare you are wrong. |

What of Mary and Joseph. Looks like sex consummates the marriage, but according to Jewish tradition you are considered legally married, or betrothed if sex has not taken place. Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 1:18 betrothed. Jewish betrothal was as binding as modern marriage. A divorce was necessary to terminate the betrothal (v. 19) and the betrothed couple were regarded legally as husband and wife (v. 19)—although physical union had not yet taken place. See note on Luke 2:5. with child of the Holy Spirit. See vv. 20, 23; Luke 1:26–35. John F. MacArthur, Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible, (Dallas: Word Publishing) 1997. 2:5 betrothed. See note on Matt. 1:18. Matthew 1:24 indicates that when the angel told Joseph about Mary’s pregnancy, he “took to him his wife”—i.e., he took her into his home. But they did not consummate their marriage until after the birth of Jesus (Matt. 1:25). Therefore, technically, they were still betrothed. John F. MacArthur, Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible, (Dallas: Word Publishing) 1997. Praise the Lord! Norm |
