Are you thinking about marriage according to the Word of God or are you thinking according to the word of man?

Also, this study will give you knowledge and if you apply it to your life, you will not be destroyed. For it is written..
(Hos 4:6 [KJV])
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Before TTGM gets into it, we must say that we will only be presenting the facts as found in history and the Bible. It is entirely your choice if you want to live your Christian life according to the word of man; you are free to do just that. However, if you understand that you will be judged based on God’s word, and therefore want to live true to His way, this is for you.

THE WORD OF MAN ON WHAT MARRIAGE IS
From the beginning of time until the year 1563, men and women were marrying according to the word of God; this would be about 5,563 years. However, in the year 1563 at the Council of Trent what is called the “Decree Concerning The Reform Of Matrimony” was published by the Roman Catholic Church (overseen by pope Pius IV). This decree moved away from God’s word by stating that marriage would now need to involve a priest/state and no less than two witnesses to be “approved” or “valid”. The document also went on to state that if marriage was not carried out according to how it was written, you would be severely punished. 

Proof: Extract from document can be read here. This page also takes you to the full 1563 document and it is free to download should you want to study further. Click Here.

Since the then Catholic Church had power and control over much of the world, there was little or no resistance to this change in the law of marriage (from God’s precept to Man’s law). Eventfully overtime this law permeated to the far reaches of the planet. 

What many do not realize is that whenever you change the meaning of something, it affects other things connected to it, such as the following.

*Fornication became known as sex before marriage.  If you study the word you will understand that fornication is the same as whoredom (they have the same root word).

*Bastard became known as a child born outside of wedlock or a child born to an unmarried couple (according to the church). Again, if you study the word you will understand that a bastard is a child born to a Jewish/Israelite father who has married a non-Jewish/Israelite mother.

*If a committed couple has a child and they visit a church they are told they need to follow the “ritual law” that was ordered by the Catholic Church because they are not married. They are also told they are living in sin – this is a lie. If committed people are living in sin, it would mean that all the married people in the Bible are living in sin. Why? There were no marriages in scripture that were carried out by a priest or the state. Again, this was a command given by pope Pius IV in the year 1563.

If you do your own due diligence you will see that all that is written in this study is true. You now need to ask yourself, will you follow God or pope Pius IV (man)?

THE WORD OF GOD ON WHAT MARRIAGE IS
From the beginning of time until 1563, God’s word is clear on what marriage is. As we always do, we will just use the word to support our comments. Why? The Word is our foundation (not man).

The definition of marriage is when two people come together (after making a commitment to each other/covenant); then they become one flesh. In other words, when you know or go in onto a woman (to have sex) you have become one with her. So instead of asking a woman to have “sex”, you should really be saying, CAN I BECOME ONE WITH YOU?
(Gen 2:24 [KJV])
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Even when you know (sex) a harlot (prostitute), you become one flesh with her. Note, Paul relates this activity back to Gen 2:24 (they become one flesh).
(1Cor 6:15-16 [KJV])
Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

So if you become one flesh (even with a harlot), the question is who does the joining? The man, the woman, both of them or God? Here is the answer; we will let the word speak, for it is written.
(Mark 10:8-9[KJV])
And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 *What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder*.

We will give one example from scripture as to how you get a wife. You will notice it is in keeping with how you become one flesh. You would note that there was no priest/state or witnesses required as outlined by the ritual that is practiced today.

(Gen 24:66 – 67 [KJV])
And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. 67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took (took her =knew her = sex) Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

Now let us look at the word marriage in the Greek as found in scripture. You will note that the word is pronounced “gamos”and it is a noun.
MARRIAGE (noun): G1062 γάμος gamos (ğa’-mos) n.

Now let us look at the verb form for the word fu.k in the Greek. You will notice the close similarity that gamo has to gamos (only the “s” is missing).
FU.K (verb): γαμώ gamó (ğa’-mo) v.

Some questions for you. They will help you to think. Why? Thinking for yourself is what God wants. The spell of deception is strong on many and they follow blindly. 

At judgment what would God judge you by, His law/precepts or man’s traditions?

Would you still recommend that a couple that are committed to each other still “get married” according to pope Pius IV’s law of 1563?

Will you teach this truth to your children and those around you or would you allow others to continue in the lie?

By God’s word, if you are already married to a woman and you go in unto another woman, what is the second woman called (in scripture)? The answer for this one can be found HERE (polygamy).

We have a link to a FOCUS ON THE FAMILY document that confirms that sex (knowing another) is marriage. However, after the first paragraph they go on to support the pope’s law. With the present divorce rate at over 50%, it leaves us to wonder why they would not stay with God’s way. Click Here.

The pope in 2016 is at it again, he states that most marriages today are invalid; note truthgospel.org has the original document, as the document on the originating website was changed. Click Here.

A well done presentation on what marriage is can be found here.

Why is living by and in the truth important? When we go before God holding on to serving man’s traditions and ways (that is in conflict with God’s word), our worship to God is in vain. Why? God is Holy.
(Matt 15:9 [KJV])
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men (one example, marriage of 1563).

We stop here…. We pray you hold on to the truth. Why? It will set you free.
(John 8:32 [KJV])
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Be not caught going from one person to the next on His return..
(Mark 8:38 [KJV])
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Be blessed in understanding.
