WHAT MARRIAGE DID GOD JOIN TOGETHER?
Here is Jesus' response to His disciples:-
19:5 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. 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
Mark 10:610:7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 10:8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
17:11 For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul. The books of the Old Testament laws explains more about how this marriage is put together. 22:13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
Deuteronomy 22:1322:14 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: (eg., not a virgin).
Deuteronomy 22:14 22:15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth [the tokens of] (eg., the blood stained cloth),the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:
Deuteronomy 22:15 22:16 And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; (her husband said she was not a virgin).
Deuteronomy 22:16 22:17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech [against her], saying, I found not thy daughter a maid (virgin); and yet these [are the tokens of] my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth (THE BLOOD STAINED CLOTH) before the elders of the city.
Deuteronomy 22:17
22:18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
Deuteronomy 22:18 22:19 And they shall amerce (fine) him in an hundred [shekels] of silver, and give [them] unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. Deuteronomy 22:19
God has laws to protect the virgin bride. He may not put her away all his days. 22:20 But if this thing be true, [and the tokens of] virginity be not found for the damsel: Deuteronomy 22:20 22:21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
Deuteronomy 22:21Fornication and whoredom was dealt with instantly by death. 22:22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband(adultery), then they shall both of them die, [both] the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
Deuteronomy 22:22Adultery was dealt with instantly by putting both parties to their death. 22:23 If a damsel [that is] a virgin be betrothed (engaged) unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
Deuteronomy 22:23 22:24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, [being] in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
Deuteronomy 22:24This is a case where it was consented by both parties to paticipate in adultery. 22:25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:
Deuteronomy 22:25Rape was dealt with by death to the rapist. 22:26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; [there is] in the damsel no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so [is] this matter: (the girl is found innocent because she cried out that she was raped).
Deuteronomy 22:26 22:27 For he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed damsel cried, and [there was] none to save her. Deuteronomy 22:27
22:28 If a man find a damsel [that is] a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, (rape) and they be found; Deuteronomy 22:28
22:29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. Deuteronomy 22:29
In the above Old Testament laws sins of adultery, fornication and rape was dealt with by instant death. However, in the New Testament, there is a different way of dealing with those same sins. The blood of Jesus Christ now makes atonement for the virgin who was put away by her husband, the virgin who was raped and even the one who fornicated, raped or committed adultery. Only when one has truly repented and decides to make Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior, they will be washed in the Virgin Blood of Jesus Christ and will become the Virgin Bride to Jesus Christ. All old sins committed by or against that one will be deleted. Jesus will say welcome in to the place I have prepared for you. Heaven will now come on earth and the will of the Father begins to manifest in the believer' s life. Peace, joy and love begins to radiate from the believer and they will have an attitude of gratitude, because they will now realize that they did not deserve such Mercy.
Father, may your will be done and your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. May your Words go forth to accomplish what it was created to do and may it not return to You void, I pray this in the name of my precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Shalom to all my friends

Hello my friend Herman
Thank you for acknowledging. This blog is based on my study of the subject, after asking Father that question years ago. There is more I would like to add but thought I should just put up these scriptures for now. It totally broke my heart when I found these scriptures, knowing that many are giving away the most precious thing that Father has provided in their bodies.
You must know by now, my utmost burden is reconcilation of families and it is also the most difficult, seeing that many marriages were not put together the way God ariginally instructed and that is the reason why we have so many divorces and re-marriages. I could only pray that some will take heed and do what is right and pleasing to the Creator and that is to turn around and go the way of the Master by following the straight and narrow path. Father provided the way through His Son Jesus Christ. He did not leave us to fend for ourselves, He showed us the way by giving us laws that should govern all of our decisions. I supposed many in the Old Testament days died because they did not follow those laws. We have no excuse because we have the full scriptures old and new and the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ and we also have the help of the Holy Spirit. I believe our punishment will be worse than those before us. I could only pray that many who are still virgins will see this blog and make a decision to do what Father recommends.
Shalom to you my friend

Hello my friend Lynne
I could only pray for our young ones coming up, that someone take the time to show them the right way. No one told me and many in my generation that these scriptures were in the bible. These laws were to protect everyone from diseases and such, but mostly the virgin bride and I believe they still stand strong. God pays heed to His Word. Unfortunately many are not aware of how much Father loves them.
Shalom to you my friend
