Matthew wrote, that while commenting on
the marriage of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2:24,
Jesus Christ used the phrase
"...what GOD has joined together..." to describe marriage in general.
Paul, in 1Corinthians 6:16, also referring directly to
that same verse about marriage in Genesis,
warned that the joining occurs without a pastor present
and without any formal agreement.
(And if the act is also Fornication or Adultery,
it does not prevent the joining:
The act of God is separate from those sins,
and obviously never sin, although often concurrent.)
The term "sex before marriage" is meaningless.
Tamar knew this.
And also,
the preoccupation with
"same sex marriage" is devoid of concern,
since marriage is not an act of man to begin with.
Again, any sin occurring is a separate analysis.
The church has empowered a lie by succumbing
to the teaching of men,
and state lawmakers have exploited these obsessions.
Many fearsome frights do fall out of this morrass;
this paralysis of most basic doctrine.
