If you are implying that sex is a part of every marriage listed in scripture, then that is a false statement. While it is listed or at least implied in most, it is explicitly excepted in some like Joseph and Mary.
He is publicly (before God and Eve) acknowledging the origin of a family and his intentions for the relationship. Obviously she may have been the only woman in history that was actually bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh, but that’s not what he’s acknowledging. According to how Christ uses it in Matthew 19, he is indicating the beginning of a new flesh or family, not sex.
POoOWWWWWW! Then compare that to Genesis 2:24’s cleave in the Hebrew
The real implication here is that sex is a covenant. Maybe you could say that marriage is formed by a covenant and that covenant is sex.
Beyond bogus. Scripture makes clear that Joseph slept with Mary. Certainly they were in a very unique state from Christ's conception until then but this marriage was consummated. You're straying close to early Roman Christians who wanted "married" couples to live in celibacy if they could.
And once again, and not for just the second time, the sex came before the covenant in Ezekiel and Adam's supposed covenant is pretty weak sauce since it was actually just a factual statement. Eve was literally bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. He could have just as easily been remarking on her hair color. He didn't promise to do anything or obligate either of them in any way. He stated a fact. She came from him. If this is a covenant than it is the dumbest one ever. It promises nothing, it accomplishes nothing. It's just not a covenant. It certainty isn't claimed to be in the text.
Christ does not refer at all to Adam's "bone of my bone" statement. He refers simply to one flesh. Your are essentially claiming that Christ is referencing Adam's alleged covenant when He is clearly referring to the one flesh relationship that can also be experinced with a harlot. This is very thin ice sir. You are straining very hard to get your desired outcome.
Because this issue is incredibly important. The name of this ministry is Biblicalfamilies. We have to know what God says about marriage. It's central to what's going on here. And adultery is a really big deal. We have to know the truth if we're to spread the truth. Most of us don't have the truth on this.
I hope not because you are definitely helping me with figuring this out. Weather I end up agreeing with you or not I find your input helpful. “Great minds think alike” is the old saying...
