Adam & Eve = the first marriage made in heaven -
Have you never read: "Our Father who art in heaven.....Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

So in the garden of eden they were married without sex???
marriage is according to consent! The exchange of vows! Not sex!
Sexual union, which is a MUST DO for reproduction, was designed and built by God in Adam & Eve
They were married from the moment God made Eve from Adams rib - sex was Made to Order by God.
And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
And Adam said:
“This is now bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.”
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
yet they were married in the garden but there was no sex
sex did not happen in the garden only after in chapter 4!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Mary and Joseph could be married by consent without sex!!!!!
God created Adam & Eve in marriage to have sex and reproduce while in the Garden.
It never came to fruition because of satan.
Once sin entered Adam & Eve, God revoked their tenant status within the Garden.
That is the ONLY reason why they reproduced after Genesis chapter 4.
God never told anyone to marry without sexual union.
Satan has told you, and others, that to be holy is to abstain from marriage and not have husband and wife sexual relations.
"Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons, influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.
They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected, because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer."
1 Timothy ch4
conjecture!
they were married by consent without sex same as Mary and Joseph
denying the lower good of sex to bring the higher good of eternal salvation!
we don’t prohibit marrige
But the virginal religious state is preferred for holiness and God’s service
Holy Spirit says you are teaching doctrines of demons.
Holy Spirit says you are teaching doctrines of demons = 1 Timothy 4:1=5

thee faith refered to is the CATHOLIC FAITH REVEALED BY CHRIST AND TAUGHT BY HOLY MOTHER CHURCH
which you reject
The Roman Catholic Vatican Religion is the Mother of HARLOTS revealed in His Word and thru the Holy Apostles which you reject.
no that refers to the pagan Roman Empire conquered by Christ and his church
You quoted a scripture
In the latter times some would depart the faith
And that is the Protestant revolt
Other than these examples, I see no other blessed saint with Jesus in heaven that is recognized by God as 'special' to Himself and His ministry. None shall be better or worse, higher or lower, honored more or less, nor specially named than any other...

You are confused.
Notice that you think that the Catholic Church ("the cult of Mary"), is...."Faith".
You just stated that to depart from FAITH, is to leave the Catholic Church.
= nonsense.
So Mary and Joseph could be married by consent without sex!!!!!
