Personal Matters Between A Husband And Wife

To understand how Jesus broke various laws and social rules during His time it is important to understand why it was meaningful for Him to do it in the first place. It seems that most around the King of the Jews had a problem with His actions, words and timing. Yet, He didn’t come to please people, but to save them. The sense of urgency which carried His thoughts trumped any kind of social conduct He was expected to follow. For the Jews who held the law given to Moses at Mount Sinai, it was more than confusing to see the Messiah disregarding many of the laws which governed their lives. What the Jews didn’t comprehend was that Jesus came to crush the cycle of sin, by conquering all humanly limitations for the advancement of the Kingdom. Astonishingly enough they didn’t see that Jesus is the fulfillment of the law in the most perfect and ultimate way.

Joan K. Kinnaird states that, “God had ordained marriage. And further he had willed that man should rule the family”(Kinnaird 67). Therefore

Religion and the Bible encourage, and perhaps demand marriage from two individuals to create them as one. The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him (Genesis 2:18)".  "That at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate (Mathew: 19:4-6)". Why does religion place such an importance on a union of marriage? An answer is suggestively related as to why automobile and health insurance companies provide a discount on their policies when filing married. According to State Farm Auto Insurance, two married individuals are much more likely to accept upon themselves responsibility, maturity, and a longer healthier and more satisfying life. Insurance agencies believe your life will be more structured and meaningful, to provide you with a policy. Living alone or entering and departing unstable casual

God made his heart concerning marriage and the family unit clear in the book of Genesis as it states that, “But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and 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.’’(KJV)

In the New Testament, the same conclusion is drawn, but by using marriage as the main

In the reading of “Why Get Married?” we learn several reasons for getting married. The first reason mentioned is sexual intercourse. Paul said that sexual intercourse signifies and seals a personal union. This requires a total and permanent partnership between man and woman to avoid fornication. Genesis 2:18 (NIV) says, “The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” God wanted man to have a companion. In today's times, another reason for marriage is legal matters. In a court of law, a marriage certificate will protect both parties’ children, property, and income taxes, deaths, burials, inheritances, possible divorces, and other contingencies. Marriage also protects from third party intrusions

Marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman, therefore, it is indissoluble. In an account from the Gospel of Matthew, The Pharisees asked Jesus why Moses had allowed divorce to happen. Jesus responded by saying that it was a consequence of Moses’ hardness of hearts. The Catechism teaches that throughout Jesus’ preaching, “he taught the original meaning of the union of man and woman as the Creator willed it from the beginning: permission given by Moses to divorce one’s wife was a concession to the hardness of hearts. The matrimonial union of man and woman is indissoluble” (1614). Jesus explained that in the beginning God intended man and woman to unite and become one through marriage as it was seen between Adam and Eve. However, after

Paul firmly believes that the parousia is near. It seems that the reason he does not want people to marry is because there might be a potential of one to be taken to Heaven while the other stays on Earth, it may also cause the person to stumble to sin if they are married. Paul is not saying that if you marry that you are going to hell he is just trying to give these people a fair warning of what he thinks is about to occur. We know today however that the event did not happend and has not happend for another two thousand years. Paul's biggest concern was sexual immorality and that is why he wanted people to stay single but if they could not control themselves then it would be better for them to have sexual relations with their spouse instead

Roy L. Aldrich from his article, “Causes for Confusion of Law and Grace,” points out, “One of the principal causes of misunderstanding about law and grace is the failure to define terms.” He then delineates some different meanings of law in the New Testament, e.g. the Mosaic Law (Matt 22:37–40); The Law of Christ (Gal 6:2; Jas 1:25; 2:12); Law as Principle (Rom 3:27; 8:2) and The Pentateuch (Luke 24:44). He goes on to point out that there is contrasting difference between the Mosaic Law and the moral law. The Mosaic Law was filled with, “ceremonial law, civil law, criminal law, sanitary law, governmental law. But the moral law existed before Moses, and continues after the Cross.” Did Jesus bind modern day Christians to these different attributes of the Mosaic Law only or moral law only or both? Paul R. Schmidtbleicher distinguishes between two different thoughts on this. Westminster

The imminent return of Christ was a topic of extreme importance to Paul, and significantly influenced numerous of Paul’s letters. Also, various Bible scholars believe that the Parousia directly influenced Paul’s stance on marriage (Harris, 2014). However, the question remains did this affect his views on marriage and the Christian life? Although the certain scholars believe this is the case, I Corinthians chapter seven may depict a different reason for this belief. Consequently, Paul’s premise regarding his aversion to marriage was that a spouse, children, household responsibilities, and sexual tension averted time and energy from pursuing Christ and his work. Moreover, while I Corinthians 7:5 deals with sexual abstinence within marriage it

Calling something marriage does not make it marriage. Marriage is a legal contract between a man and a woman. It is the institution that establishes kinship and relations in the family. Marriage is mostly recognized by a state, organization, religious authority, local community, or peers. Marriage is for procreation, education, the unity, and well-being of the couple. Some say marriage is for two people who love each other and ready for commitment. Nevertheless, in the bible times, couples were not allowed to choose the one him or her married. Therefore, the person he or she married was not the person him or her loved. Divorce was not an option; the couples had to learn to love the person they married. Stating this, marriage is not all about love and emotions, but the purpose of marriage. Marriage is unique and universal. (Rauch) Marriage of homosexual couples would not provide the same benefits of a heterosexual couple. Homosexual are not allowed to produce children. They must have vitro-fertilization or surrogacy. Same-sex couples should not be allowed to marry, because marriage is for a man and a woman, all religion is against gay marriages, and gay marriages are the slippery slope for other marriages. (Ferguson)

The audience that Jesus was speaking to was engulfed in the teaching of the day. Not only through the hearing of the teachings, but also through the actions of those in religious leadership and the actions of normal every day people. Jesus made sure that the church was aware that he was not discounting the law or trying to replace it, but rather he was getting back to "the heart of the law" and showing how kingdom people live out these laws . Jesus did this by going through laws that had been given and misinterpreted, and then Jesus guides them on what the law was originally trying to say. I will argue that Jesus was trying to get back to the heart of the laws that were given, as well as encourage his followers to give up their rights for

Any kind of sexual expression is limited to marriage, and even, sexual relationships in marriage were only justified for procreation.

As one might naturally think, and as Sanders points out, Christian scholars saw “Jesus as deliberately opposing the authority of the law (rather than unconsciously subverting it in principle),” while “Jewish scholars have maintained with remarkable consistency that he did not consciously set himself against the Torah of Moses” (Sanders, 51). This is not always the case, but it is a line that can be drawn and easily distinguished. Sanders describes Jesus’ “general framework,” in his ministry and throughout his teachings, to be Jewish eschatology (Sanders, 10). Sanders’ label of Jewish eschatology already places Jesus on a more Judaic path, and he even shares with historian Albert Schweitzer the notion of Jewish eschatology, going so far as to call it an ‘eschatological dogma’ (Sanders, 23). Jesus was touted as a direct messenger from G-d and to teach G-d’s law. Scholars either believed or questioned; was he a teacher of Jewish law or a teacher who “challenged traditional interpretations of the law in favor of a new radical way of life that he held to be the will of G-d” (Powell, 20)? In the case that Jesus was a teacher of Jewish law, as depicted in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus conveyed that Gentiles should practice Jewish law and observe Torah. Through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, a parallel can be drawn between Moses and Jesus as historical teaching figures. Readers remember Moses’ Sermon on the Mount and the burning bush scene from the Old Testament and equate Moses as the
