Subject: ADULTRY VS BIGAMY #3 |
Bible Note: I know a good realtor if you need any help. :) More seriously, verses have been given that shows God's choice was for one man and one woman. We can see that God, sometimes allows things that He didn't desire that away. The example I'm thinking of is divorce. God never wanted a marriage (Matt 19:6 and Malachi 2:16) to separate. Yet, Mosaic law allowed for it (Matt 19:8) and Jesus made it a more specific (Matt 19:9). So we can see from this example, that marriage was originally setup to never end, but through the Mosaic law and man's corruption, divorce was allowed, not that it was God's preferred way. Following this train of thought, marriage was meant for one man and one woman, but God allowed the change even though that wasn’t his preferred way. Yet adultry, which is sex outside of marriage has never been approved. Did I make any sense? Brad |
