The life partner (Part 3)
Before talking about engagement to marriage, I think it is extremely important to talk about the origin of marriage.
To better understand the attraction between man and woman, let’s go back to creation: The Lord caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s rib and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman for she was taken out of man” (Genesis 2: 21-23).
The man was pulled from dust, but the woman was taken from man. It is as if God had surgery, opening the flesh of man to take one of his ribs and closed the flesh before transforming the rib into a woman while the man was in a deep sleep. It was not until verse 23 that the man woke up finding a woman-made for him.
In verse 24 he concludes by saying that this is why a man leaves his father and mother, and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Why do we say that they will become one flesh? Because they were one flesh before surgery of God and the divine principle will be that the man who lacks his rib will want to get it, that is why a man will leave his parents and go to look for his rib (his wife). According to the principle of God, it is not the woman (the rib) who seeks man but the man who seeks his wife (his rib) and once the rib is found, they will not become two flesh but one flesh.
According to the plan of God, a man must be married to a woman and not a man. Gay marriage may be legal in the country but it is biblically illegal because man did not come from the rib, but he was pulled from dust. But a man is supposed to unite to his rib (his wife). If the man marries a man, they will never produce children. Later God spoke harshly of the union of man with a man in the law of Moses, saying: "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, they have both an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them "(Leviticus 20: 13)
The fact that the government or the state legalizes marriage between two persons of the same sex does not mean that the marriage is approved by God. It may be legal according to the law in the country but it is an abomination according to heavenly law.
So back to the engagement. First of all, I want people to understand that marriage is like an omelet made with two eggs (a man and a woman). The man and woman each have a history, culture, education and above all a soul different from his partner. The soul is made up of three things: emotions, will and intellect.
The fact that men and women have two different souls often becomes the source of conflict and the devil uses their differences to destroy their household ....
I will clearly talk about it in Part 4
