Uma só carne
O conceito de 'uma só carne' é o fundamento bíblico do casamento. Desde a criação, Deus uniu homem e mulher em uma aliança indissolúvel de amor, compromisso e intimidade.
A instituição divina do casamento
Deus criou o homem e a mulher e os uniu em aliança. O casamento é obra de Deus, e o que Ele juntou não separe o ser humano.
And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm [The Living Word - The Many Powered] caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam (Man, ground; red; earthling), and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib, which the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm [The Living Word - The Many Powered] had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
And Adam (Man, ground; red; earthling) said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Isha (Woman, wife), because she was taken out of Ish (Man, husband).
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to (hold onto; stick to) his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm [The Living Word - The Many Powered] said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helpful partner for him.
So God-Elōhīm [The Living Word of GOD] created man in his [own] image, in the image of God-Elōhīm [The Messiah Pre-Incarnate] created he him; male and female created he them.
He answered them: "Have you not read that He who made them of old, male and female He created them".
He said: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and cleave (split open; cut open; divide) to his wife and they will become one flesh".
"If so, they are not two but one flesh, and whatever The Creator has joined together man is unable to separate"
But from the beginning of the creation God-Theos made them male and female.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave (split open; cut open; divide) to his wife;
And they two shall be one flesh: so then they are no more two, but one flesh.
What therefore God-Theos has joined together, let not man put asunder.
O mistério da união
Paulo ensina que a união conjugal é um grande mistério que aponta para Cristo e a Igreja. A intimidade reflete a comunhão espiritual plena.
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself.
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord - Kurios the church:
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Moshiach [Messiah] and the church.
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.
Know you2f not that your bodies are the members of Moshiach [Messiah]? shall I then take the members of Moshiach [Messiah], and make [them] the members of an prostitute? May it not be.
What? know you2f not that he which is joined to an prostitute is one body? for two, says he, shall be one flesh.
But he that is joined unto the Lord - Kurios is one Spirit [Ruach].
And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue (part that remains, the rest) of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Fidelidade e alegria
A aliança conjugal exige fidelidade, respeito e dedicação mútua. A Bíblia celebra a alegria da intimidade dentro do casamento.
Let youi fountain be Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous): and rejoice with the wife of youi youth.
[Let her be as] the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy youi at all times; and be youi ravished always with her love.
And why will youi, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
And let the peace of God-The Father rule in your hearts, to the which also you2f are called in one body; and be you2f thankful.
For what reason putting away lying, speak every man twith his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
