What Is Marriage?

[VictoryinJesus]

Revelation 19:7-8
"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. "

Yeah, your post seems to cover what prepares us for the marriage to come.

Revelation 19:7-9 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. [8] And to her was granted (given)that she should be arrayed (dressed)in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. [9] And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

What is the marriage supper of the Lamb called unto?

What is the marriage supper of the Lamb called unto?

To eat.

the institution of marriage and wedding ceremonies developed over time.

So it's scientific?

The family unit....nucleus.

I like the science speak.

To eat.

“To eat” ...of what marriage supper?

“To eat” ...of what marriage supper?

Matthew 5:6
"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

Matthew 5:6
"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

2 Corinthians 5:4
"For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life."

*I'm hungry.

 

[VictoryinJesus]

Matthew 5:6
"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

I guess my question then is do they not eat of the marriage supper when they eat of the Lord’s supper? and is not the Lords supper the marriage supper of the Lamb?

The already and not yet...?

I guess, we're already married, yet not fully consummated...

These things are spoken of as "shadows".

1 Corinthians 13:12
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."

Philippians 1:7-11
"Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God."

What an awesome letter this would be from a husband to his wife!

I asked you to look in the Strong's...it is not there. People believing in things that are not even in the Bible. How do you interpret something that is not there?

I told you that nowhere in the scriptures do we find that Adam and Eve had sex before they were expelled from the garden of Eden. I'm not going to look into any book because you want me to. You want April_Rose to know what that book says you tell her. I'm going to stick with what I said concerning Adam and Eve.

 

[April_Rose]

Or coerced. Much prostitution comes from girls who are trafficked or basically enslaved.

True, good point.

It's what makes us in His Image...I guess...Angels don't do it...though some believe they tried...

But what would the purpose for that be? Angels don't need to multiply as God already created all of the angels at the beginning of creation and they're not even human and even though I believe we become like angels in Heaven, we don't actually turn into them. That brings up the question though if romantic love and sex exists in Heaven since we don't need to multiply anymore once we get there.

 

[BarneyFife]

Okay I stand corrected then but I was pretty close XD

Oh, no I wasn't correcting you at all; I was just quoting a few lyrics from the song itself.

You are so agreeable and warmly engaging. It is a rare gift and a fresh exception to the norm here on the forum. :)

1. Lots of questions still, one recently which goes (imo) with “to be one”: what is “that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body” Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body(of strife, debate, divided?), that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

what is: His glorious body? Changed from our vile body to be fashioned like unto his glorious body, as he is able to subdue all things unto himself? Revelation 19:7-9 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. [8] And to her was granted (given)that she should be arrayed (dressed) (Colossians 3:10-15)
in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. [9] And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

Well you do what ya want.
You couldn't anyway.
Not sure what you are getting at with Adam and Eve.
They were told to be fruitful and multiply while in the "Garden."
No indication they had sex in the Garden.

Man's science is divisive...all about analyzation...endless division to argue about.

His Body is all about shalom...wholeness.

Nice questions, I will ponder and come back in a bit!

" "to separate one thing from another, to distinguish," related to scindere "to cut, divide" (from PIE root *skei- "to cut, split;" source also of Greek skhizein "to split, rend, cleave," Gothic skaidan, Old English sceadan "to divide, separate")."

So where you going with that?
Or is the better question; What is your point?
