AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 6:16 Do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, "THE TWO SHALL BE ONE FLESH." [Gen 2:24] |
Bible Question: I heard someone preach that when a man and a woman engage in intercourse and their union is santioned by God, their souls unite and they become one. If a man and a woman commit adultry or fornacation their souls still unite. But, because God turns His back on them as a result of their sin, they each take on all of the sins of each other. If that's the case, they sin because of fornication and adultry and they receieve all of the sins of each other. |
Bible Answer: Gretsch42, In 1Cor.6:16, where it says "he which is joined" is #2853, Kollao, from kolla, ("to glue") to stick, cleave, keep company. "to a harlot" #4204, porne, a strumpet, an idolater.Coming from #4205, pornos, to sell as akin as the base of #4097. to #4097,piprasko, a male prostitute ( as venal) a debauchee (libertine). "body" #4983, soma, the body as a sound whole, slave. "flesh" #4561, sarx, flesh, as stripped of skin, the meat of an animal (as food) body as opposed to soul and spirit. symbol of what is external, human nature with it's frailities (physically or morally) as passions, carnally minded, fleshly. There are other scriptures that are similar like Gen.2:24, Matt.19:5-6, Eph.5:31, Mark10:7-9. In Gen. 2:24, where it says "and shall cleave" it's #1692, dabaq, to impinge, cling, adhere, to catch by pursuit, follow close, overtake. "unto his wife" #802, ishshah, nashiym, a woman, adulteress, wife, woman. It comes from #582, enowsh, properly a mortal, differing from man. Bloodthirsty, chapman. "flesh" #1320 basar, flesh from it's freshness, body, person. In Mark19:5, "shall cleave" her is the same as 1Cor.6:16 #2853 where it says "which is joined". "wife" is #1135, gune, a woman, especially wife. "twain" #1417, duo, a primary numeral (two) both. "flesh" #4561, same as 1Cor.6:16. But in Mark19:6, where it says God it is #2316, theos, uncertain iffinity, a diety, the supreme diety, magistrate. "hath joined together" #4801, suzeugnumi, to yoke together, conjoin in marriage. "put asunder" #5563, chorizo, to place room between, to go away, depart, separate. From #5561, chora through the idea of empty expanse, a room, a space of territory. Eph.5:31, "shall be joined" #4347, proskallao, to glue to, to adhere, cleave. "wife" #1135 same as Matt.19:5, gune. "flesh" #4561, sarx, same as 1Cor.6:16, Matt.19:5. Mark10:7, "cleave" #4347, proskallao, same as Eph.5:31. "wife" #1135, gune, same as Eph.5:31,Matt.19:5. Mark10:9,"God" #2316, theos, same as Matt.19:6. So you see that there are similarities in these verses, but some slight differences like in 1Cor.6:16 it says which is joined, In Gen.2:24 it and shall cleave, Matt.19:5, says shall cleave, but the meanings are slightly different. Also in 1Cor.6:16 it says to a harlot, thus differing from Gen. and Matt. and Eph., and Mark. Harlot is #4205, pornos in the greek meaning to sell coming from #4097, a male prostitute, etc. and so on. As for the joining, and cleaving are slightly different in meaning. But most importantly in Gen.2:24, for flesh it says body as opposed from the soul and spirit. Symbol of what is external. It doesn't mean we are one as becoming one in soul and spirit. They remain separate and each one has his or her own sins, didn't God give us free will and that remains separate. We are to work out our own salvation, but when married it's a partnership.
