“Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate”. How does God joins two people together?
The answer is found here: “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.” Gen. 2:24. The only way to “become one flash”, and what has always united man and woman as such, in both testaments, independent of ceremony or parties, is sexual intercourse. Two becoming one is clearly the sexual act of intercourse. “If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged to anyone and sleeps with her, he must pay the customary and accept her as his wife” (Ex. 22:16). There is no wedding ceremony, legalities, vows, trips, or whatever.
“And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.” Gen. 24:67.
“What? Know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? For two, saith he, shall be one flesh.” Cor. 6:16.
If a man has sexual relations with a woman, by this way becoming “only one flash”, they’re already married in the eyes of God. So, there is no such a thing as pre-marital sex. The marriage happens when a man and a woman engage in sexual relations. Not before, neither after it. Therefore, they can’t get married if they had sex, as they are already married. Similarly, nobody is married untill they have sex, for no legalities or men’s cerimony can make two people together. There is only one way - the God’s way.
Traditionally, when you are engaged, you are in a time reserved to know each other, check out your mate’s principles, honor and obedinece to Yahweh and find out if she/he is indeed the right one. This period of time is absent of sexual intimacy, and the next logical step is the marriage. That’s why I also believe that should not exist such a thing as “boyfriend” and “girlfriend”, only groom and bride.
The disconnection between sex and marriage is made in order to make it legit to homossexual couples and interracial couples have sex as long as they get married under the “church of God”, making people believe that if they are both christians and both got married in the church, God is somehow approving their relationship. By this method, Judeo-Churchianity manages to make non-biblical, anti-christian unions morally accepted.
Also, disconnecting sex and marriage is a free pass to serial monogamy, the new socially accepted way of being a slut. A woman marries, gets divorced, marries again, gets divorced, and so on… making it legit to engage in sex with countless different partners, because before the act they are “marrying” in the church, and by this way supposedly getting God’s approval.
