Marriage Unacceptabilty of Seduction, Rape and Incest Victims Exodus 22, verse16: “And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.” Note, this is a command. So in the case of incest (Joyce Meyer), the relationship would require instant and automatic disannulment (no acknowledgment of legal marriage) and the ex-virgin would have to remain single to prevent fornication and not marry someone else at a later time. Penalty for Folly (Attempt of marriage after premarital sex) Dt. 22, verse 20: “But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: 21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.” The tribal, religious community was the police force and criminals (Bible law breakers) were given capital punishment at times.
Mr. MacArthur's Vigorous Promotion of Marriage (According to his statement above ... even if divorced from a former spouse!) “You are made to be married. Find somebody. Don't look for the messiah: Just find somebody.” (at about 45 minutes in part 2 of his video) His audience should have rebuked him and told him they will look for the message and teaching of the messiah (far from what media-hawk John says) and walked out. God does not tolerate folly or remarriage. By the way, Paul recommended singleness. |
