[quote:Anonymous Coward 77749714:MV80MTEwNTIwXzc0NTg1OTIxXzY5NUJFQTg1] [quote:tamarack 77484958:MV80MTEwNTIwXzc0NTg1NTAyX0NCN0UyMEQ5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 76984449:MV80MTEwNTIwXzc0NTg0NTc2XzNCRUUxNTYy] Jesus said marriage is between a man and a woman. No other sexual relationship is permitted. It is immoral. Matthew 19 4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’5 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? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” [/quote] So, you believe that we needed the Messiah to teach us all that men and women get married? People didn't know that men and women get married... Jesus must have worn a Captain Obvious cap. Rather than that, I prefer to think that Jesus was pointing to the joining of opposites, which is a harmonious union -not a conflict of opposites. The union creates a third person, not two individuals living under one roof. [/quote] "So, you believe that we needed the Messiah to teach us all that men and women get married?" It appears we needed the Messiah to teach us this: [b]The ‘Sacred Secret of Godly Devotion.’ [/b] The prime example of godly devotion is Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul wrote to Timothy: [b]“Indeed, the sacred secret of this godly devotion is admittedly great: ‘He was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, appeared to angels, was preached about among nations, was believed upon in the world, was received up in glory.’”[/b] (1Ti 3:16) Adam, the perfect man, had not set the perfect example of godly devotion. None of his children, born imperfect, could do so. Who would be able to do this? The coming of God’s Son to earth and his integrity-keeping course gave the answer, revealing the solution to the sacred secret. He is the one to whom Timothy should look for the perfect example of conduct manifesting godly devotion.​—1Ti 3:15. Jesus Christ was the one man to manifest godly devotion perfectly, in every sense, proving that man in the flesh can maintain such devotion. Under severe trials, right down to the end of his earthly course Jesus was “loyal, guileless, undefiled, separated from the sinners.” (Heb 7:26) No flaw could be found in his integrity, to accuse him before God. He said, before his death: “I have conquered the world,” also, “The ruler of the world is coming. And he has no hold on me.” (Joh 16:33; 14:30) No unrighteousness could be found in him. He could rightly say to his enemies: “Who of you convicts me of sin?” (Joh 8:46) The solution to “the sacred secret of this godly devotion” is so great and means so much to mankind that it is to be proclaimed worldwide. [b] Jesus Christ himself is the basis upon which Christian godly devotion and conduct in the congregation are patterned.[/b] [/quote]
