The Importance of Marriage

[@vanillabluesky]

I feel as though the Lord is getting me ready for marriage. Pls Lord reveal my chosen human husband to me at your perfect timing. Until then pls mould me and change me so that I can become the best helper to him. Amen 🙏

[@brianturner8477]

Have patience: no missionary dating. Associate with Godly, spiritual people who demonstrate biblical character and behavior. Don’t come under the influence of worldly entertainment: music, movies or other media including talk shows. Read your Bible and pray.

[@denodado-uw6ux]

I'm also looking to get married... look for a good wife

Myles had a great relationship with the Lord.

We are told to love God with all our heart, mind and soul and that we be reconciled unto him... If we do what God hates how yet can we say we love him with all our heart, mind and soul as we were commanded to do. Jesus and the disciples taught the law of Moses and Jesus even said your thoughts should be bridled and controlled. If someone pays your fine and the judge frees you it is not so you can continue the crimes that brought upon you the fine. If you are reconciled to the father of whom you were seperated from because of your sinful actions it hardly makes logical sense that you are reconciled to him to continue in those same sinful actions. We are meant to be dead to sin and not living in it - not following two masters but crucifying the fleshly desires and seeking the spiritual The second coming of Yeshua (The Messiah, Christ, Jesus) is coming near, Please all who say they are of Christ read these verses below and seek the truth; the truth that all transgression of the law is sin and none of the laws of Moses were done away with, the truth that Yeshua (Jesus) himself states that he does not abolish any of the laws of his father (he himself is the word, the law and so to say you abide in him yet not all the law makes ye a liar). Read the verses below that speak of God unchanging and of how we are meant to walk as Christ walks and hence following the commandments of God given to Moses including the vast expanse of Leviticus (of course it is believed Yeshua caused for such as blood sacrifices to be finished as he became the atoning sacrifice amongst other factors). If you seek to truly love and serve God, Jesus and the holy spirit in full truth I implore you also seek teachings such as those about Sabbath's from 119 ministries, Jim Staley, Rico Cortes, bill Cloud, brad Scott and others... Another vital and important teaching would also be "Truth or Tradition" by Jim Staley. Any who believe that the words of Paul and others including Yeshua (Jesus) himself change or abolish laws.... I can tell you there are deep contextual understandings required and that many of the verses you have heard have been plucked out leaving the verses that add the necessary context to be sitting in the book - but alongside this there is a deep culture and context in the era the scriptures were written that if you lack the understanding of will cause you to misunderstand the true meaning of the scriptures today with Paul's writing's requiring much of that understanding although if you remember it was false accusations that he was teaching against the laws of Moses and see that it should give you an idea as to how Paul has been misinterpreted by the current churches with many going against the Bible's very verses stating clearly such were false accusations. Remember also that Yeshua (Jesus) actually spoke that even thoughts are counted as to iniquity (sin) and such makes sense if we are to love God with all our heart, mind and soul... We are implored to hold our very thoughts unto his ways and his standards also. May God guide and bless those with open and truth seeking hearts that desire to love him truly to allow them to read these words here and these scriptures and to walk in full repentance as God truly desires 🙏🏽 2 Timothy 2:19 CJB Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, stamped with these words: “The Lord knows his own,” and, “Let everyone who claims he belongs to the Lord stand apart from wrongdoing.” Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 5:17-22 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.' But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire. Mark 9:43‭-47 CJB If your hand makes you sin, cut it off! Better that you should be maimed but obtain eternal life, rather than keep both hands and go to Gei-Hinnom, to unquenchable fire! And if your foot makes you sin, cut it off! Better that you should be lame but obtain eternal life, rather than keep both feet and be thrown into Gei-Hinnom! And if your eye makes you sin, pluck it out! Better that you should be one-eyed but enter the Kingdom of God, rather than keep both eyes and be thrown into Gei-Hinnom, 1 John 2:3-6 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. 1 John 5:2-3 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. Malachi 3:6 "For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? James 2:24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Matthew 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Mark 7:8-9 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men-the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do." He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition Luke 17:3 ESV Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him Ezekiel 18:30-32 ESV “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, declares the Lord God. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; so turn, and live.” Messianic Jews (Heb) 6:1‭-‬8 CJB Therefore, leaving behind the initial lessons about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of turning from works that lead to death, trusting God, and instruction about washings, s’mikhah, the resurrection of the dead and eternal punishment. And, God willing, this is what we will do. For when people have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become sharers in the Ruach HaKodesh, and tasted the goodness of God’s Word and the powers of the ‘olam haba - and then have fallen away - it is impossible to renew them so that they turn from their sin, as long as for themselves they keep executing the Son of God on the stake all over again and keep holding him up to public contempt. For the land that soaks up frequent rains and then brings forth a crop useful to its owners receives a blessing from God; but if it keeps producing thorns and thistles, it fails the test and is close to being cursed; in the end, it will be burned. Acts 3:19 ESV Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out Matthew 4:17 ESV From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” 2 Peter 3:9 ESV The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. Matthew 3:8 ESV Bear fruit in keeping with repentance Revelation 2:5 ESV Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Ezekiel 18:21-23 ESV “But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that he has done he shall live. Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live? Colossians 3:5-6 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

I was married just short of 23 years next month it would have been our wedding anniversary God put us together the funny thing is i tought she wasn't my type . she tought i wasn't her type ? she got home after her first date and said God i never want to see that man again. but in her hall way God told her thats the man your going to marry 😊 we went out with each other for 6 months then tied the knot . when your saying them vows your so excited😊 that if you really tought about what your saying to each other ? your gonna love each other no matter what life trows at you in sickness and health to death do you part and when one of you gets sick or you both do theres lots of re ajusting of your priorities. and asking God to give you his strength and Grace and love to care for each other because sometimes life sucks and your not in control of them slipping away due to illness Sadly my wife passed away last year she wanted to see jesus . so i had to hand her back to him until we meet again at least shes now pain free and safe in his arms once again ❤ but it doesn't make it any less painful losing a love one but at least shes at peace if i could do it all over again would i still have tied the knot yes because God blessed me with someone i was proud to call my wife

I was never late on bills.. paid my house off and credit cards off..looking back God always came through… in the last hours and minutes… I put all my trust in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ… now my children doing good as young adults..the best advice I can give you is never to make any decisions on your own because God answers your prayers for all your decisions in life… might not be what you want to happen but it is his will not ours..God never leave you or forsake you..

Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; so turn, and live.” Messianic Jews (Heb) 6:1‭-‬8 CJB Therefore, leaving behind the initial lessons about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of turning from works that lead to death, trusting God, and instruction about washings, s’mikhah, the resurrection of the dead and eternal punishment. And, God willing, this is what we will do. For when people have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become sharers in the Ruach HaKodesh, and tasted the goodness of God’s Word and the powers of the ‘olam haba - and then have fallen away - it is impossible to renew them so that they turn from their sin, as long as for themselves they keep executing the Son of God on the stake all over again and keep holding him up to public contempt. For the land that soaks up frequent rains and then brings forth a crop useful to its owners receives a blessing from God; but if it keeps producing thorns and thistles, it fails the test and is close to being cursed; in the end, it will be burned. Acts 3:19 ESV Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out Matthew 4:17 ESV From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” 2 Peter 3:9 ESV The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. Matthew 3:8 ESV Bear fruit in keeping with repentance Revelation 2:5 ESV Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Ezekiel 18:21-23 ESV “But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that he has done he shall live. Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live? Colossians 3:5-6 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Agape love should be at the center of all Christian marriages. Christ is the driver, Agape love is the main attribute of the relationship.

The meaning of the Jewish wedding is seen all throughout scripture. God uses it as a type (model). There’s a mystery to marriage that surpasses just the union of a man and a woman. It is truly supernatural. Praise Yeshua.

This is not a decree or even a commandment. If we were all meant to be married, we'd come with matching serial numbers or some other finite way of finding our partner. But we arent..for those who path involves marriage. This is for you. For those of us who it is not for, it has been replaced with a passion for your purpose ordained by GOD. Giving it no less value and no less worth than those called to couple and procreate. Pray to stay in HIS purpose for your life always. And you'll never fail HIM.

[@JoshuaWilliams_]

We are told to love God with all our heart, mind and soul and that we be reconciled unto him... If we do what God hates how yet can we say we love him with all our heart, mind and soul as we were commanded to do. Jesus and the disciples taught the law of Moses and Jesus even said your thoughts should be bridled and controlled. If someone pays your fine and the judge frees you it is not so you can continue the crimes that brought upon you the fine. If you are reconciled to the father of whom you were seperated from because of your sinful actions it hardly makes logical sense that you are reconciled to him to continue in those same sinful actions. We are meant to be dead to sin and not living in it - not following two masters but crucifying the fleshly desires and seeking the spiritual The second coming of Yeshua (The Messiah, Christ, Jesus) is coming near, Please all who say they are of Christ read these verses below and seek the truth; the truth that all transgression of the law is sin and none of the laws of Moses were done away with, the truth that Yeshua (Jesus) himself states that he does not abolish any of the laws of his father (he himself is the word, the law and so to say you abide in him yet not all the law makes ye a liar). Read the verses below that speak of God unchanging and of how we are meant to walk as Christ walks and hence following the commandments of God given to Moses including the vast expanse of Leviticus (of course it is believed Yeshua caused for such as blood sacrifices to be finished as he became the atoning sacrifice amongst other factors). If you seek to truly love and serve God, Jesus and the holy spirit in full truth I implore you also seek teachings such as those about Sabbath's from 119 ministries, Jim Staley, Rico Cortes, bill Cloud, brad Scott and others... Another vital and important teaching would also be "Truth or Tradition" by Jim Staley. Any who believe that the words of Paul and others including Yeshua (Jesus) himself change or abolish laws.... I can tell you there are deep contextual understandings required and that many of the verses you have heard have been plucked out leaving the verses that add the necessary context to be sitting in the book - but alongside this there is a deep culture and context in the era the scriptures were written that if you lack the understanding of will cause you to misunderstand the true meaning of the scriptures today with Paul's writing's requiring much of that understanding although if you remember it was false accusations that he was teaching against the laws of Moses and see that it should give you an idea as to how Paul has been misinterpreted by the current churches with many going against the Bible's very verses stating clearly such were false accusations. Remember also that Yeshua (Jesus) actually spoke that even thoughts are counted as to iniquity (sin) and such makes sense if we are to love God with all our heart, mind and soul... We are implored to hold our very thoughts unto his ways and his standards also. May God guide and bless those with open and truth seeking hearts that desire to love him truly to allow them to read these words here and these scriptures and to walk in full repentance as God truly desires 🙏🏽 2 Timothy 2:19 CJB Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, stamped with these words: “The Lord knows his own,” and, “Let everyone who claims he belongs to the Lord stand apart from wrongdoing.” Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 5:17-22 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.' But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire. Mark 9:43‭-47 CJB If your hand makes you sin, cut it off! Better that you should be maimed but obtain eternal life, rather than keep both hands and go to Gei-Hinnom, to unquenchable fire! And if your foot makes you sin, cut it off! Better that you should be lame but obtain eternal life, rather than keep both feet and be thrown into Gei-Hinnom! And if your eye makes you sin, pluck it out! Better that you should be one-eyed but enter the Kingdom of God, rather than keep both eyes and be thrown into Gei-Hinnom, 1 John 2:3-6 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. 1 John 5:2-3 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. Malachi 3:6 "For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? James 2:24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Matthew 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Mark 7:8-9 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men-the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do." He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition Luke 17:3 ESV Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him Ezekiel 18:30-32 ESV “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, declares the Lord God.

I’m 44 & never been married. I went to Bible college & bought a ring for my gf at the time but it didn’t work out. I became neurotic about my failure & lived a prodigal lifestyle for two decades. I met a wonderful woman who wasn’t a believer & we got engaged. 3 weeks before the wedding she left me and since that time I’ve understood and accepted that the Lord has much refining to do in my life & needs to be first & that I need to be committed to Him but I often find myself overwhelmed with grief about my loneliness and my failure in never being married & missing out on having a family. I don’t understand why I have to be so alone. I became involved in a church for the first time in over twenty years but everyone has a family and I feel like such a weirdo being middle aged and alone that I stopped going.

*QUESTION:* Does Deut 22:28-29 allow for premarital sex so long as the two marry❓ Sure sounds like it. I know the first reaction is to say no. But, within the context when sex was sinful (rape), the law says the guilty must be punished for sin by stoning to death. However, here they are to marry (no punishment by stoning). So, after they marry, there is no penalty... all is fine, TRUE❓ Kinda hard not getting painted into a corner with this one. ALSO, Did Jacob commit adultery when marrying his 2nd wife, Rachel❓ If no, Why Not❓

[@starbucksbeautiful4331]

Please review the definition of fornication and search and STUDY all scriptures regarding the subject, especially those found in the New Testament. Be blessed

[@mikes5079]

@@starbucksbeautiful4331 Hi there! In more cases than not, the term fornication is used to mean idolatry. It of course also means sexual sin (which I assume is what you're referring to). We define fornication to mean sex outside of marriage, but is that the biblical definition of it? We must therefore define what sexual sin is, true? Leviticus 18 outlines this. I challenge anyone to find premarital hetero-sex in Leviticus 18. Maybe it's elsewhere in the Torah. If so, please refer me to those verses. the Greek (NT) is " _porneia_ " From G4203; which means, harlotry (including adultery and incest); figuratively *idolatry:* - fornication. In Hebrew (OT) is " _zânâh_ " H2181 A primitive root (highly fed and therefore wanton); to commit adultery (usually of the female, and less often of simple fornication, rarely of involuntary ravishment); figuratively to commit idolatry (the Jewish people being regarded as the spouse of Jehovah): - (cause to) commit fornication, X continually, X great, (be an, play the) harlot, (cause to be, play the) whore, (commit, fall to) whoredom, (cause to) go a-whoring, whorish. So, then I guess we might ask the question... is a monogamous heterosexual relationship in a committed, unmarried relationship the same thing as whoring and harlotry (as the bible would define it)? that'd be interesting to know... God Bless! ~mike

[@starbucksbeautiful4331]

@mikes5079 you seem like a very intelligent man. If it is unsure in scripture, ask God for guidance. God has a standard on how we should live and conduct ourselves. He designed MARRIAGE for a reason. Maybe search the scripture about marriage and that may also help with your quest for truth.

[@mikes5079]

@@starbucksbeautiful4331 Yes, thank you, that's always wise counsel (to seek God's guidance - which I have done). And I agree, He designed marriage. Yet, how can we reconcile these apparent discrepancies with scripture? If they aren't discrepancies, I'd love to hear why. As someone who grew up going to church and being a Christian my entire adult life, I know the proper churchy response to these questions. And we hear the scripture, the two shall become one flesh almost instantly when this topic comes up. Yet, no one explains what that actually means. So, I'm wondering if anyone can explain what it means, "the two shall become one flesh." And if this is not about having children, how can we say Jacob didn't sin by taking two wives? I'm not trying to justify committing sin, I'm trying to better define it. God Bless! ~mike

[@ElizabethWarnock-Miller]

@@mikes5079 If pre marital sex was endorsed by God he would make it clear. When in doubt… don’t. Err on the side of caution… this ensures God is not offended. God would not make such a big deal about marriage if sex outside of marriage was allowed by him. The covenant of marriage is glorified through sexual union. Why defile the marriage bed (Hebrews 13:4)? If burning with passion…. Marry ( 1 Cor 7:9) perfect example of when the fruit of the Holy Spirit… self control… needed. As to Deut 22:28 in verse 20… the woman shall be stoned to death if she is not a virgin . No doubt there that sex outside of marriage is wrong. The bible has God’s commandments plus laws for the time and laws for Jewish religiosity…. Deut 22;28 is focusing on the laws of the time, as are those men who had more than one wife, Solomon being the extreme… the lessons from the bible outside of God’s commands are to be taken seriously not literally. God will not bless our lives if we live in sin and if we love him faith requires we obey him. John 14:15 Purity is a theme in the Bible that loses its power if we choose to follow our feelings rather than God’s commands. May God reveal his will for your life and bless you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I don’t think God appoints anyone a mate. It’s not found in scripture, except for Adam. This is not scripture. This is new age nonsense. “Soulmate” is not biblical.

Make sure women hear this message, they are the ones divorcing their husbands 70 - 80% of the time.

[@tarim2822]

Unfortunately by the time a woman files for divorce she is tired, most men don't file for divorce because it's difficult, he just will make life unbeatable for her she has no choice. A women will beg plead cry pray for her marriage but by the time she flies 90% of the time the husband has checked probably for months or even years openly living with a mistress, emotionally and physically abusive just can't be bothered to file for divorec. I did the research so while women may file for divorce again why is that, because the husband has long since checked out and again usually living or openly vomiting adultery. Most women fight for their marriages and don't give up easy. Unfortunately the 'statistics' don't reflect that. Men also need to hear this message and take their vows seriously.

[@AndyCopperfield]

@@tarim2822 Many polls show that men do not file for divorce because of the bias court system that favors women. Men do not want to be financially ruined with child support and alimony payments. From observing other marriages and relationships more men do cheat on women statistically but many women do as well. A huge contributing factor is wives witholding intimacy from their husbands. From a mans perspective marriage has too many risks these days and not worth the effort.

Jesus Christ has ONE bride. ONE woman who will marry Him, ONE man. NOT the "church". The church are the GUESTS to His wedding supper! ❤

[@krystalTiger]

Exactly Rev shows it’s the temple… it’s a metaphor. There’s no actual marriage. Christ Himself says there isn’t marriage in heaven when asked. And as you say it’s the guests to the wedding being celebrated, not the bride in those scriptures.

[@cornyconnie.]

@@krystalTiger well, I don't believe that too be entirely true either... I believe Jesus has one BRIDE. ONE WOMAN that HE will marry. The "church" (the saints) will be guests at the reception. I believe the 7 while the tribulation is unfolding down here, some of us will be delivered from the mess and caught up to enjoy that celebration. The people will not be married in Heaven, not only because they are NOT "the bride", but, because it's Jesus's turn to be celebrated, not ours! The people will have their time when we return to earth for the Lord's 1,000 year reign, like we were meant to do from the beginning! ONE LORD Our KING!!! And a family that loves one another, that's the people! And THEN the people can and will marry. But Jesus IS getting married. And just as He is a man, His wife IS a woman. ❤

​@@cornyconnie.That's twisted, sick and unbibical.

[@cornyconnie.]

@@sarahk1977 Say what you want! I know the Lord very well, and not because I've read my Bible, but because I engage in conversations WITH HIM daily! What makes the thought of Jesus being married to ONE woman so sick and twisted? He is ONE MAN, correct?

[@janeschaech5222]

@@cornyconnie. even YOU admit to yourself being CORNY. arguing or trying to reason with you is futile. You are obviously conversing daily with another Jesus. A corny one.

I choose the wrong woman

[@Woodsman_797]

If God wanted me to be married, He would have helped me find a wife. He's never helped. Not that there are any virgin women to marry in 2024.

Cuando el hombre controla para sus sueños no para los de ella, ayuda pero en línea de Dios mismo con la fidelidad no mintiendo elegir lo que Dios no elige confrontando mujeres eso es un hombre pero macho cabrío solo quiere que todas lo adoren y adorar solo al Dios de poder .
