Justme, I am not here to argue with you like children on a playground. My response to you was with the level of respect that your post warrented. Please reread your first post in this thread and then consider the issue of respect. You might consider the word dignity as well. This is a biblestudy forum. If you are not interested in a thread other than to insult the members participating, a good strategy is to click the "HOME" button and choose another thread to follow and/or participate in. Thank you, Jeff |

Hello brother Justme, I will offer the following excerpt from the Holman Bible Dictionary as it articulates finer than I might. MARRIAGE The biblical standard for marriage is a monogamous relationship in which a man and a woman share a lifetime commitment to each other, second only to their commitment to God. It is an unconditional, lifetime commitment. Jesus emphasized God’s intention that marriage be a lifetime commitment (Mark 10:5-9; Matt. 19:4-9). He affirmed this as the principle of marriage inherent in divine creation (Gen. 2:24). Paul cited this key principle to show the sinfulness of sexual relations outside marriage (1 Cor. 6:12-20) and to emphasize the importance of self-giving love in marriage (Eph. 5:28). Genesis 2:24 emphasizes the oneness of the marriage relationship and the priority of the relationship over all others, including the relationship of the couple to their parents. Marriage is also for companionship (Gen. 2:18-23). Paul described the kind of mutual submission that should characterize the marriage relationship (Eph. 5:21-33). Although the husband is head of the home, his role is modeled after the role of Christ as Head of the church, who “loved the church and gave Himself for it” (Eph. 5:25).—Holman Bible Dictionary I would call attention to "It is an unconditional, lifetime commitment. Jesus emphasized God’s intention that marriage be a lifetime commitment (Mark 10:5-9; Matt. 19:4-9)." and "second only to their commitment to God" as well as "He affirmed this as the principle of marriage inherent in divine creation (Gen. 2:24) I don't read into this as being superceded by falsehoods on either party's part. In Christ's Love, Jeff |
