I’ve noticed how prevalent #1 is today in “the church”, and accepted as being fine. Couples living and sleeping together and going to and serving in the church every week like “we’re good”.

[@BushidoBasher]

You know what's prevalent? The actual dismissal of marriage itself. Sex is an integral component of marriage itself. Taking a look into the story of Isaac and Rebekah would tell you *how* these two got literally married. The customs were just customary, not required. It's just considered respectful and a part of one's culture where the customs come from. Isaac never had to respect or follow the customs of Rebekah's father; he simply consummated the marriage with Rebekah through sex. How many actually realize that having sex with their first love, then going through multiple people to find *love* is considered adultery and fornication all at the same time? These people going to church fail to realize just how bad it is.

This is very difficult for me, I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost eleven years, we have two kids together. I’ve recently gave my life to Christ. I feel awful every time my boyfriend and I fornicate. He says he already sees us as married since we live together and have kids . I really want to be married in gods eyes. I’m feeling close to giving an ultimatum. I just have to trust God, I know God has my back. Please pray for us.

[@TheJacali]

That seems pretty silly for you guys to not be married. Just go to the courthouse. It’s free. I’m not sure what to say if it’s him who just doesn’t want to get married. If that’s the case I’m sorry for you. It must mean he’s either not fully committed even though it doesn’t seem that way at least from my limited POV. Or it must mean he’s scared of the government influence in your marriage or something. But regardless that makes no sense because if you were a woman who got tricked by the gov into being a single mom and going through the divorce machine... then you could already do that... because you guys already have kids and have lived together 11 years. I’m sure you do this often. But I’ve found if you have the courage to genuinely pray to God for answers. That He genuinely gives them. Amen. God bless you miss. Hopefully it works out and you’re a mrs soon.

[@billbader5755]

It would be interesting to know if in the early biblical times it was required to go ask the government for permission to get married and then sign that permission slip upon the ceremony. Or is that just for tax purposes? What constitutes marriage in the Lord's eyes? Is it the marriage license? The ceremony? The fancy wedding feast? Expensive jewelry? Or is it the covenant that the man and woman enter into, when two become one flesh? The traditions of man don't seem to line up with God's plan for marriage.

[@PB-jk8bl]

@@billbader5755 I agree! A "legal" marriage has nothing to do with a couple offering themselves up in covenant with God as Biblical marriage is defined. You can be legally married in earthly terms but still living in fornication in the eyes of The Lord.

[@dannyruiz3329]

At this point, it does not matter anymore. You are married in the eyes of God, all thats missing is a piece of government paper. Giving him an ultimatum would be dumb at this point because then you would be responsible for breaking up your family.

Love that there are pastors willing to discuss the "taboo" topics. MAYBE if more pastors and churches taught on such topics we MIGHT see fewer divorces in Christian marriages, fewer absent parents, fewer parents turning their kids against the other parent, fewer adulterous affairs, fewer Christians going out and getting drunk etc, and so on. We MIGHT actually see the Body of Christ growing, flourishing, and making an eternal difference in the world.

@@trebleboost7 because the Bible commands man and women to summit to one another. Only taking brakes to pray. So we should be serving our spouses, and giving thanks to the Lord. The enemy knows that God loves marriage so he looks to tempt us with adultery. If your partner isn't having sex with you it opens the door to the temptation of adultery. We should not put ourselves in that situation. You can divorce a spouse who is not performing there part of the marriage contract

Thank you so much Pastor Mark. I was raised in the church and spent 20 years in a black hole of sex and drugs. I'm now celibate and grateful to God for His forgiveness, because that is my only hope. I think your sermon, while excellent, would benefit from the addition of sociological evidence that sexual sins are truly destructive. I.e., swinging couples often end up divorcing. Users of pornography end up directionless. Etc. Only by casting my sins upon Jesus and living a renewed life in His name am I able to leave behind me the burden of sexual sin. I would appreciate a deep dive into EACH of the points you listed and how destructive the outcome is. Thank you again. - Sinner Saved by Grace

[@BushidoBasher]

@@red_phoenix0570 Right. That isn't true. There is a reason why sexual immorality and fornication are mentioned. Think about this for a second. How can you get married? Through sex. Yes, through sex literally. Mind you, customs such as having a priest, officiating the wedding, having family members come around to celebrate, many people coming to join in your wedding... These are all customs and not mandatory. They are absolutely not required and they don't *officiate* the marriage. What the customs do is "tell" the world that the couple are married. What many overlook is that sex is a very integral component of marriage itself. Just take a look at Isaac and Rebekah. Isaac never had to go to a wedding. He never had to meet the father and mother. He never had to invite many of his family members, friends, and other people to see him off. Abraham simply found a wife for Isaac, brought her to him, and they literally had sex. From a viewpoint, if you apply this to the world *without* the customs, how many people are now adulterous through multiple one-night stands? How many people are now sexually immoral fornicators? How many people actually were married *before* they got customarily married? A lot. There is a verse that specifically explains this: Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Anyone who thinks there won't be betrayal, envy, jealousy, and infidelity in that structure is beyond foolish and only justifying their sin. God created Eve. One woman was to be his helper and his only wife, so he wasn't alone. Adam was in the very presence of God for all eternity in paradise and still felt alone. So God gave him a wife. Not a wife and a side piece.

You can easily convince me that polygamy is a bad idea However, You would have a hard time convincing Abraham, Moses, King Solomon, David and many many others in the old testament. People that we Christians look up to and make reference to constantly. Then, people make the argument that we live in the New covenant and Jesus is our standard. Jesus didn't even have one wife. I honestly believe the reason God let them by with it Is because it served as an analogy and introduced the concept of the Bride of Christ having one groom.

Let me ask you a question about that statement/verse. What if the woman was married to a man who cheated on her many times and then he divorced her and left her. Does that mean a man who then takes her for his own wife is committing adultery?

[@AV1611Fanatic]

⁠@@Big86morrell1there’s only 3 grounds for divorcement in the Bible. Desertion, adultery, and death. So that should answer your question. She not committing adultery. However, the #1 cause of divorce today is supposedly money and that’s not a biblical reason to get divorced so that would be considered adultery in the Lord’s eyes of you did “marry” another person after divorcing for that reason. If you want the scripture for those 3 occasions, I’ll send them. Ultimately, if you get married you should stay with the partner forever. God did not intend for people to get divorcement. Jesus said that to the Pharisees. People get divorcement now for the hardness of their hearts

[@lanceallenmcginnis1105]

@@Big86morrell1 Yes. Jesus repeatedly condemns marrying a divorced woman even when she is innocent and even when she did not initiate the paper work of the divorce. Divorce and marriage are not mutually exclusive spiritually just as marriage and separation are not mutually exclusive according to the laws the state. When a husband and wife are separated they are still married by the law of the land. When a husband and wife are divorced they are still married by the laws of God. Divorce is not annulment. According to Gods word divorce does not end the marriage, only death does. You can be divorced and married at the same time. The marriage is in a divorced status so to speak. This is why we are commanded in scripture in cases like this to "remain unmarried or reconcile". Dont break Gods laws by marrying a divorced woman. God calls this adultery. Many explain marriage permanency doctrine away as it is so counter culture, but it is better to remain single unless there is a death.

The word “fornication” is an English word that etymologically traces its roots to the Latin word “fornicationem”, a past-participle stem of “fornicari”, which means “to fornicate”, and is, itself, a derivative of the Latin word “fornix”, which originally referred to an arch or vaulted chamber but was used by authors such as Juvenal to mean “brothel”. The word’s earliest English usage appeared in Cursor Mundi, a Northumbrian poem published in the 14th century CE. Fornication, as it’s defined by modern English dictionaries, is “sexual intercourse that occurs between people who are not married to each other”. However, it is important to remember that this is a modern definition that should not be read back into ancient texts because the word didn’t exist when those texts were written. Only its use in association with Biblical texts (e.g. the Latin Vulgate) or Biblically-related texts (e.g. the Cursor Mundi mentioned above) produced that meaning. Originally it was used to refer to promiscuity or prostitution. Mark offered some verses as examples of “fornication” in the Bible. Let’s first examine the examples from the Hebrew Bible. Those verses are Genesis 38:24, Leviticus 21:9, and Deuteronomy 22:21. The Hebrew words in those verses that Mark wants us to believe translate as “fornication” are זָֽנְתָה֙ (Genesis 38:4), לִזְנ֑וֹת (Leviticus 21:9), and לִזְנ֖וֹת (Deuteronomy 22:21). However, when one compares English translations one can see that the only two translations that render זָֽנְתָה֙ as “fornication” in Genesis 38:24 are Young’s Literal Translation (published in 1862) and The Darby Bible (published in 1867). The only translation that renders לִזְנ֑וֹת as “fornication” in Leviticus 21:9 is the Jubilee Bible (published in 2000). The only translations to render לִזְנ֖וֹת as “fornication” in Deuteronomy 22:21 are The Darby Bible, The God’s Word Translation (published in 1995), and the Jubilee Bible. Additionally לִזְנ֖וֹת is translated to refer to some form of extramarital sex in the Good News Translation (published in 1976), the New Century Version (published in 1987), the New International Reader’s Version (published in 1996), and the Common English Bible (published in 2011). None of these translations are commonly used by scholars or pastors. The word that all three of those words are derivatives of is זָנָה, which is often used to refer to adultery or prostitution of some form. If one reads all three of the verses in context within the passages they belong to one can easily see that the authors were communicating that God disapproves of promiscuity. There is no condemnation of premarital sex. The New Testament verses Mark offers are 1 Corinthians 6:18 and 7:2, and Hebrews 13:4. The Greek words Mark wants us to associate with “fornication” in those verses are πορνείαν (1 Corinthians 6:18), πορνείας (1 Corinthians 7:2), and πόρνους (Hebrews 13:4). Once again, the same principle I covered above can be applied. Each one of those words is a derivative of πορνεία, which has a much more broad and undefined application as זָנָה in the Hebrew Bible example. πορνεία as it’s literally defined means a “surrendering” or “selling off of sexual purity”. It can also refer to promiscuity, similarly to זָנָה. Since there is nothing in the definitions of the Hebrew and Greek words to suggest a disapproval of premarital sex, the next question is: how does the Bible define marriage? Quite simply, actually. “Then the man said, ‘This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman, for out of Man this one was taken.’ Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:23-24, NRSV) Notice in those two verses there is no formal declaration of marriage. No ceremony. No paperwork. Two partners identify one another as mates and consummate their relationship. The emphasis is on loyalty, not timing. In fact, Exodus 22:16-17 and Deuteronomy 22:28-29 are both examples that sexual intercourse can still occur before “marriage” and be acceptable. In conclusion, the Bible does not provide the reader with an explicit, definitive proscription of premarital sex, nor does it even demonstrate such a concept existed for ancient readers.

[@billbader5755]

Thank you for taking the time to share this. How would the same compare to what the King James Bible says?

[@c.g.ryderii2405]

Matthew 19:4-5(KJV) And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Made to be husband and wife, one flesh. Ultimately, we are the bride of Christ, now apply that to your definition of fornication. Any sex outside of marriage is promiscuous. As we, from the beginning were meant to cleave to our wives. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point. Much love Jesus Christ is King

[@Raz0rIG]

Matthew 19:4-6 He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” 1corinthians 7:2-5 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. Why would these Bible verses advise marriage if you can’t control sexual urges. It implies that to have sex it has to be within context of marriage. It is very clear. It took a lot of mental gymnastics to try to find some loophole with the definition of sexual immorality to justify sex before marriage. But take a holistic view of the Bible’s message and it is clear what views are acceptable in terms of sex. How are you to reconcile the 2 verses above and still claim premarital sex is ok? If a verse advises you to be married if you can’t control yourself that’s a clear indication of what the legitimate contexts for sex means.

[@JD-er4gf]

@billbader5755 The King James Version uses phrasing like “played the whore” or “playing the harlot” when rendering the Hebrew, again, suggesting promiscuity or infidelity. Meanwhile, the King James Version translates both πορνείαν in 1 Corinthians 6:18 and πορνείας in 1 Corinthians 7:2 as “fornication”. However, because of the difficulty in defining πορνεία due to its broad range and usage my conclusion is that the rendering of those words as “fornication” in the King James Version was a translator’s choice and most likely influenced by the Latin Vulgate.

[@JD-er4gf]

@Raz0rIG The Bible does not define marriage in the same way modern readers do. I already explained that the concern of the authors was loyalty; not timing. Which explains Paul’s recommendation of marriage in 1 Corinthians 7:1-6; to prevent promiscuity or adultery. He did not explicitly outline the order of steps leading to a marriage being recognized. Your quotation of Matthew 19:4-6 is irrelevant and redundant because it simply quotes Genesis 2:23-24; my interpretation of which I’ve already included in my initial comment above.

[@Metalbass1979]

I now live in Kenya. It's legal here to have up to 5 wives. It's a very strange concept to me.

[@MrTrecamp1]

1 Corinthians 7:2 is usually the main verse used to argue against the practice of polygyny which states "Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband." However, when you examine the original Greek text for this verse, you will see that the word used for "own" when referring to the man in this verse is heautou (his Own wife) which represents singular only ownership and the other Greek word for own idios(her Own husband) which refers to the womens ownership of her husband can represent singular, plural, group or shared ownership. Two different Greek words both meaning "own" but the "own" used for the man (heautou, his OWN wife) always means exclusive ownership, however, the "own" used for the woman (idios, her OWN husband) can mean exclusive ownership or shared ownership. If you continue to read down to 1 corithians 7:4, this verse states the following: "The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife." This verse incontext is specifically talking about shared plural ownership of the flesh in regards to sexual relations between a husband and wife and the greek word used for own to represent this shared plural ownership is idios because the husband and wife both have equal authority when it comes to each others flesh in regards to sexual relations. All this this is dead iron proof that even paul considered polygyny as already apart of the marriage concept. Culturaly related presuppositional biases of monogamous only relationships is enforced in the christian church which came from early roman culture later followed by group councel meetings that were held between early christians leaders with popularity and credibility within the church where polygyny was deemed anathema, hundreds of years post canon (after the canon was closed). (Note: •Own for the man G1438 Original: ἑαυτοῦ Transliteration: heautou Phonetic: heh-ow-too' Thayer Definition: himself, herself, itself, themselves •Own for the woman G2398 Original: ἴδιος Transliteration: idios Phonetic: id'-ee-os Thayer Definition: pertaining to one's self, one's own, belonging to one's self)

Majority of the western church doesn't teach the scriptures right when it comes to this topic and God is not pleased. it's showing in American society.

[@Burgee_6289]

Jesus created a new higher standard by which we should live in the new testament. That is the standard by which we should live which includes NO POLYGAMY which in itself is adultery which so happens to be one of the ten commandments. Just because things happened in the old testament, doesn't mean they're permissible in Gods eyes. Caan smashed abels head with a rock. doesn't make it ok for us to do so to our own siblings. He's teaching this correctly.

I would then ask you why it would be banned for church leaders to have multiple wives, if God didn't to some extent despise polygamy?

[@MrTrecamp1]

@@Burgee_6289 what bible verses are you using to push your point? Let's see it. Jesus does ban polygyny. He used it as an example in a parable in Matthew 25 "parable of the 10 virgins" 10 woman trying to marry one man with only 5 being worthy for marriage. It slides to the church and the rapture but the parable used shows that polygyny isn't a sin because Jesus wouldn't have used it as a parable example. Jesus says if you divorce your wife in exchange for another, it's adultery. if I take up another wife and have two at the same time that's not adultery. He was condemning abandonment of a spouse not polygyny. Matthew 19:9 BSB [9] Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman, commits adultery.”

In Leviticus 18 it forbids the Israelites from having sex when the woman is menstruating. I am wondering if Christians should consider this forbidden as well. I realize we are under the new covenant and do not follow the ceremonial Mosaic laws, but Leviticus 18 also is where homosexuality among men, bestiality, and incest are all forbidden and it says that God will judge the pagan nations for these practices. If the ancient pagans were being punished for those practices, I think that is a sign that these practices are clearly forbidden for all of us, not just the Israelites. So, does that mean we should not have sex within marriage as Christians if the wife is menstruating? Is this sinful? I've never heard a pastor address this.

[@mervyngrbic8324]

Yes, it is a sin. See also Lev 15.19, 20, etc. Believers are 'Israel'. Eg, notice in the verses below and also that our Father's laws still continue in the new covenant... Jer 31.33 Heb 8.8, 10 Heb 10.16

[@edwardwatson8937]

Actually, it is untrue that fornication is "sex before marriage" because Matthew 5:32 and 19:9 use it within the context of marriage. Matt 5:32 But I say unto you, whoever divorces his wife, except in the case of fornication (porneia), causes her to commit adultery. And whoever marries a woman who has been divorced commits adultery. Matt 19:9 And again I say unto you: ‘Whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication (porneia), and marries another commits adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.’ How can a married woman have "sex before marriage"? If Jesus meant "sex outside marriage" - i.e., "adultery" then why didn't he say so? After all, adultery is defined to be a married person having sexual relations with someone they are not legally married ti. So, no. Despite the traditional definition that fornication means sex before marriage, it is more accurate to say fornication means "sexual unfaithfulness." This means ANY type of sexual stimulation between others before marriage (petting, oral, anal, vaginal) while within marriage it means the denial of sexual intimacy. So, if a wife refuses to have sex with her husband, then that is grounds for divorce and if a man sexually assaults or abuses his wife, then that is grounds for divorce also. Lastly, polygamy is not prohibited as a practice. In fact, there are numerous places in the Bible where it is approved, with God himself giving King David his wives (2 Samuel 12:7-8) [if God gave David his wives, was he wrong for doing so?] Abraham practiced polygyny: Genesis 16:1-4 Jacob practiced polygyny: Genesis 29:21-30 What are they doing in heaven (Matthew 8:11) when they practiced polygamy? Polygamy as a practice was normal virtually everywhere before monogamy became the norm. But there is nothing immoral with the practice provided the wives are treated equally (Exodus 21:10, Deuteronomy 21:15-17).

[@TriSticle]

I don't know how exactly to word this question, but... For sex before marriage, there's a difference between a marriage in the eyes of God and in the eyes of the government. It obviously means in the eyes of God, but how does that show God without the governments hand? Is the marriage the ceremony, or is it different? Can you be married in the eyes of God without being "legally" married (in the eyes of the law or Government)?

[@karlstilt8627]

I had that same question last year. After giving it some thought, I came to the conclusion that being "legally" married doesn't count. My thought process: The U.S has man-made laws. The Bible has God's laws. Being "legally" married through a man-made law holds little to no value if you're not making that promise/vow to God. I would say, yes you can be married through God's eyes and not the Government. But again, this is my opinion. Based on my thought process.

[@GarethPoole-pu4ly]

Where are vows in the Bible regarding marriage? Answer: No where. Because our culture (western) dictates a formalised process, that then cannot dictate to all of the other cultures that have a totally different process of marriage. The Apostle Paul told the Church at Corinth "That you must not go beyond what is written" A culture has no authority to instruct GLOBALLY on the matter.

[@benbialas9339]

@@glenw-xm5zf You're 100% wrong. No vows were exchanged in the Bible, no witnesses during the first marriage. The only 'witness' in the first marriage (Adam & Eve) was the trinity, the only 'vow' was 'you are now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh'. Today's wedding ceremonies are purely human tradition. I'm not discounting marriage, as it's an important institution in God's eyes, but there is no denying that marriage ceremonies today are entirely human tradition and to be blunt, many of these traditions are heretical. I'm sure you think asking for a father's blessing over a marriage is 'in the Bible' too. Pro tip: it's not and is nowhere in the bible.

[@GarethPoole-pu4ly]

The question is what in God's eyes and in "His Word" constitutes marriage. There are simmilar teachings for Israel and later the church, which involves leaving respective parents and becoming one. Gen2:24..Matt 19:5..Eph 5:3. For every culture on earth, there are as many variations on this marriage subject. Not all will leave their parents..some cultures live under the one roof. As did Israel..up to 3/4 generations. Does every couple have to be married by a pastor/minister etc? As Ships Captains have the authority to marry. Can a couple just make a personal commitment before the Lord, and God would honour that?... people could be imprisoned or in a remote area, with no access to a minister, and so on. I've pained over this for many years when asked, and still no closer to defining it.

[@colinsmith1495]

I notice for #3, NONE of the references explicitly condemn polygamy. The first two simply talk about Adam and Eve and the inception of marriage. Genesis 4 is an example of a man who had two wives and was vengeful, no connection between the two made. He's literally just telling his wives how he has avenged himself on people. 1Kings is the condemnation of Solomon, but that wasn't for polygamy, that was for leading the people into idolatry, which HE was led into by his many, many FOREIGN wives. And finally the 1 Timothy verses are talking about leaders in the church. Leaders specifically. I'm looking for verses that clearly say 'a man shall have only one wife' or 'having more than one wife is a sin' and I just don't see any. The closest I can see to justify polygamy as a sin in the US today is Romans 13:1 - Obey the government. In the US, polygamy is a sin simply because it's illegal by human standards. Can you give me anything more... root-justifying than this? We're explicitly told not to murder, and we see people being judged explicitly for murder. The same for adultery. The same for false witness. Idolatry, dishonoring God, all the regular sins.

Usually the truth is "offensive" lol. Pastor Mark, i have a question (and i hate to do it here, but...), my man and i did a marriage ceremony with God and the two of us. We said a prayer and gave ourselves and our relationship to God and asked Him to bless our union. Even though we aren't "legally" married, are we still married in God's eyes? We don't want to live in sin. ❤️

[@editsbyshock]

Hey! I’m in a similar situation as you and have been researching this topic extensively for a few weeks now. Hopefully I can help. Here’s an excerpt I came across recently: “The signing of a marriage certificate is an integral part of what the Bible calls a covenant. A covenant is made publicly before witnesses and with formal legal commitments that are taken seriously by the community… Contracts are signed out of the necessity spawned by the presence of sin in our fallen nature.” God calls us to respect the legal authority we are under. See Romans 13:1-2 and Titus 3:1 for example. Being legally married IS respecting God’s will. An option to explore is just going to your local courthouse and getting married there. Other than some processing fees, it’s pretty inexpensive. You could then have a wedding celebration at a later date! Hope this helps (: Not the pastor, nor a theologian, just my opinion!
