‘The two shall become one flesh’ ... ‘Leaving Father and Mother and cleave unto each other’ ... ‘To mind the things of the flesh is to be carnally minded’ ... are you getting the picture yet, Grig? You Mormons may believe Jesus was not God with us and only became ‘exalted’ with His death and resurrection thus He would not have been any different from men while he walked among us before the cross, but a real Christian who has studied to show themselves approved is immediately offended by the foolishness of entertaining that Jesus would have been married and perhaps had children while God with us. There are a host of more scriptures (in the Bible, Grig, not the BM) which show why Jesus was not sexually minded and was not joined with ‘other flesh’, so why don’t you search the scriptures and understand the foundational principles of Christianity, as opposed to Mormonism?
I suggest you re-think you position on marriage. Read Genesis 1 & 2. Adam and Eve were brought together as husband and wife by God BEFORE the fall. They lived as husband and wife in the Garden of Eden BEFORE the fall in a state of perfection. In other words, the institution of marriage PRECEDED the fall and is not a carnal relationship of fallen man as you claim. It is a holy and pure relationship given by God to His perfect creations—Adam and Eve.
“‘The two shall become one flesh’ ... ‘Leaving Father and Mother and cleave unto each other’ ... ‘To mind the things of the flesh is to be carnally minded’ ... are you getting the picture yet, Grig?”
Yes, I get the picture that you can’t tell the difference between the love that should exist between a husband and wife and carnal lust. There is nothing wrong or ungodly about the love God wants husbands and wives to have for each other, including their sexual desires for each other.
“You Mormons may believe Jesus was not God with us and only became ‘exalted’ with His death and resurrection thus He would not have been any different from men while he walked among us before the cross,”
We believe Christ is the God of Israel, Jehovah, the great I AM. He was still all that during his mortal life, but he was every bit as much a mortal human as we are except for his ability to control his death and take his life up again.
“but a real Christian who has studied to show themselves approved is immediately offended by the foolishness of entertaining that Jesus would have been married and perhaps had children while God with us.”
If the only reason for being offended is this confusion between godly love between spouses and carnal lust then all you are doing is showing that I am right, it is all rooted in an unhealthy attitude towards sexuality.
Sex is not some dirty little thing, the power to bring a new child into the world is the most sacred and god-like power we have been given. Satan wants us to abuse it, or reject it, or be ashamed of it. God wants us, even commanded us, to find a spouse and raise a family.
