I am specifically referring to the Biblical passages of Eph 5:22-32, Heb 13:4, Mk 10:7-10, and Mt 19:5-6.

Where do these verses fit in the prophesy of the Old Testament?

Yikes! I hope I do not get reported! Is this question offensive in some way?

Basically because, as St. Paul says: The Church is the Body of Christ. Christ (and the OT) proclaim that marriage is "two becoming one flesh". That is a similar metaphor to the Church being "grafted into" the tree of Abraham".

We are made one with Christ, as we are made a part of His Body, in the Sacrament of Holy Baptism.

The Eastern Orthodox have a nice way of looking at this - Theosis - becoming one with God through His Son - seeking union with God....

Understand the concept of god and his image and all would become clear-


God Almighty did not make us in his image but he made the true inner self of us in his image. And our true inner self is our soul (atman in Hinduism) residing within our heart.

No human body is ever created by God. As we sow so shall be reap... nothing more or less! As we perform our karma... so shall be our future. God Almighty has got nothing to do with it. God Almighty never interferes with the creation of his.

On the contrary every soul (atman) existing in the whole of Cosmos was made by God Almighty in his image. The essence of all souls (atmans) is the same.

Now depending upon the residual balance of karma of a human being in a particular life... we get our next birth. And the body manifested by our soul (atman) varies from other bodies depending on the balance of karma of each and every individual.

It is only after gaining enlightenment that every enlightened soul draws upon itself the true image of God... all dross within having been removed forever... the soul comes back to its original pristine form... the image of God Almighty in its totality!

Jesus said you must put God above your Mother, Father, Son and Daughter. He didn't mention SPOUSE.

Did you ever see the movie "What Dreams May Come"

He was willing to go to Hell to stay with his wife.

That's a strong postive statement on the state of matrimony.

You have to have a lot of LOVE to do that!

How many here LOVE their spouse THAT much!

this question is absolutely not offensive at all (at least not to me) and I agree with Father K.

God didn't, the persons who wrote it did, and they were homophobic.
