How about...people? After all we're made in the image of God...right? Two sexes, man and woman. We all have: 2 eyes. 2 ears. 2 hands. 2 ears. 2 lungs. 2 breasts. 2 testicles (men). 2 ovaries (women). 2 kidneys. 2 legs. 2 arms. 2 legs. 2 brain halves. 2 nostrils. 2 lips. Our bodies SCREAM two. Two are joined in marriage.
Do you actually read what you cut & paste? (Perhaps you might want to re-peruse what you wrote, especially the portion I highlighted for you!!!)
Douglas I actually want to THANK YOU for citing the very passage that "makes this case!"
In marriage, two become one, right? (Or DO two remain two, per Jesus?) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Class," if I told you to pick a number between 0 and 6 as to what NUMBER Jesus would define a marital unit as, would you pick 5? (No) 4? (No) 3? (No) 2? (NO!!!!) 1? (Bingo!!!!)
Jesus then RE-EMPHASIZED that this marital entity-unity is "NO LONGER" two? (You don't have any trouble defining that phrase "no longer," do you Douglas???)
Then, for even ADDITIONAL ADDED emphasis, Jesus says don't separate what God has joined together, right?
Now Douglas...tell us, is God & Jesus more unified than any given husband & wife? (Yes or no will do fine here)
Therefore, if God/Jesus regards a married couple as "ONE" & doesn't regard them anymore as "two" & has joined them together & warned people NOT to divide this oneness...and IF God/Jesus are more unified than any given couple is...a couple made in God's image...then...
Who are YOU to come along and disregard God/Jesus' oneness?
Who are YOU to separate what is enjoined?
Who are YOU to disregard Jesus when He plainly said: 30 I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30) ???
I honestly don't understand the point of your post. Why do you think I disagree with this or think any different?
Of course Jesus and the father are one. I put that very same scripture down as proof text of a binity. But note that Christ did NOT say "I, the father, AND the holy spirit are ONE"....why?
