(Continence preferred to marriage) Part 2.
Why should we marry to simply end up in divorce or separation? Do we believe in bonding? Do we have faith that it will work? Or is this just another modern day interpretation that allows us to do what we want with our partners. Christ gave his disciples the principles upon which the Father created man and woman. He created them male and female. He created them so that they would cleave to one another for a purpose, for a cause. But that cause, that purpose, was changed due to the hardened hearts of men and the influence of evil in the world.
For evil would seek to change what God created. Evil seeks to turn man around. Evil seeks to have man worship it and to have man do its will. So evil influenced man to change the purpose of God, to have them cleave to one another. Evil seeks to have man and woman cleave to one another simply for the passion, for the pleasure, and not for a cause. And when the passion and the pleasure is over, evil seeks to tear them apart, to bring about hatred, fear, distrust, doubt, anger, and all manner of discord that turns man against the God that created him. Christ told his disciples: And he said, "Not all can accept this teaching; but those to whom it has been given.

To those to whom it has been given! Are you one? Are you one of the persons to whom this teaching of marriage has been given? Do you believe in God's purpose? Do you believe hat he created us male and female that we should cleave to one another for life? For he has a purpose. He has a goal. He has a reason and he who created the universe has a better reason than any other person on earth. But more than anything else do you and your partner have the faith to know that your example of togetherness will shine before the eyes of God and the world?
For he told us through the teachings of Christ that separation and remarriage for any other reason other than immorality, is adultery. And marriage to another that has been put away is also adultery. So who can accept this teaching? Who is worthy to receive this teaching? The acceptance is not one sided but requires the knowledge and belief of both parties, male and female. Are you the one that it has been given? Are you and your partner the chosen ones?
Will you follow the will of God and keep his purpose, keep his goal? It is only through the knowledge of who we are in this world, that we can come to accept the will of God our Father. For he gave us life through Christ Jesus. He allowed us to be born again. His mercy and his love for his children is overwhelming. He forgives us our trespasses. He protects us from evil. He gives us our daily bread. All this, if we let him. If we open our hearts to his love he will come and demonstrate miracles before our eyes that will amaze us of his power and majesty. For He is the power and the glory for ever and ever, amen. Are you the chosen, the one to whom it has been given?
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage and then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ. The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
