AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 2:24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. [Matt 19:5; 1 Cor 6:16; Eph 5:31-33] |
Subject: Is wife equally obligate to leave parent |
Bible Note: The burden of proof is upon her, I believe: proove why Genesis 2:24 would not apply equally to both parties to the relationship. I'd ask her this: when Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone" was He speaking exclusively of males? If of males only, then would it be correct to exegete Jesus' words thusly: Man shall not live by bread alone but woman shall? --Hank |
