Didn't say or infer marital sex was immoral, just made the point that sexual intercourse is copulate in the OT. And the key on the scripture cited is not the scenario in which the word marry was used, but the fact that it was used to describe the what the act of going in into his brother's wife...

'Copulate' which is in the OT. And there are some definitions of fornication (not scriptural) that don't limit it to unmarried individuals. Probably copulate is the appropriate term for sexual intercourse married or unmarried, but fornication is a bit of a gray area since its also copulation...

So what is sexual intercourse called within a marriage, and on a side note but pertinent, when are you married? Is it based on man's viewpoint or God's? Are you married after a ceremony and legal paperwork being transpired, or what?

What you described is defined as adultery. Is fornication then the same as adultery? Are the two words interchangeable? Having sex marries one person to the other. Gen 38:8 8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

What does 'to fornicate' mean?

Agree extra marital, but my point was relative to the term fornication which is unrelated to marriage

Actually, fornication is the simple act of having sex; has nothing to do with being married or not as extra marital sex would be adultery.

Adultery involves sexual intercourse wherein at least one of the individuals is already married to another person. Fornication is simply the act of engaging in sexual intercourse with another person. What becomes tricky, is what God views as being married as opposed to man's views and based...

I'm simply going by the scriptures and what THEY clearly say. We can speculate, superimpose words and meanings for them, but it's hard to refute words that don't require any guesswork such as the cited scripture. There's only one place that the word paradise is defined and that is in 2 Cor 12...

Just fyi, paradise is the 3rd heaven not the garden of Eden. Read 2 Cor 12 2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I knew such a man...

It's biblical not man contrived or catholic. The disciples gathered together to break bread and remember the Lord on the 1st day of the week, Sunday. It's also called the Lord's day.

Believe what you like. Goodbye

There are the other mentioned as well, which should all wisely be considered to apply to all of God's word and not just the book in which it's cited. That would make the most sense: you do not or should not tamper with the word of God in any way whatsoever, by adding to, taking away...

Does it matter? You claimed wedding was not inbtge bible. The parable clearly refuses that. It was a wedding or whatever you choose to call it which is immaterial. It was a celebration of two people who were going to be joined together in marriage, which in today's vernacular, it's called a...

I really don't know what point you're attempting to make based on my original response. You are now off somewhere else making statements without scriptural support on who knows what topic.

You said the apostles did not die at the last page of the Bible. Now, re-read my response. And because the word wedding was not used, does that mean it wasn't a wedding ceremony or marriage ceremony? Call it what you will. It still is what it is.

Yes, I agree. You are full of hogwash

Yes, I agree, you are filled with hogwash

There are sufficient warnings in both the OT and NT regarding adding to or taking away from the word of God. Now, the apostles didn't die as you stated, but the word is and was unchanged by them. And wedding ceremony is in the bible. Isn't the parable of the 10 virgins about a wedding ceremony...

In truth, although most people celebrate Christmas and Easter, the fact is neither are Christian holidays mandated by scripture nor is any day mandated by scripture to revered other than the 1st day of the week. Easter is pagan and a pagan holiday in worship of queen Eostra which holiday...
