I understand your points, however *Marraige* in itself is the cornerstone of any civilized society, it is the most *Sacred* because it brings fourth life creating human beings that have both a Male and Female parent that G-d created himself....

This sacred covenant was started before anything else with G-d’s creation of *people* in fact G-d was so angered with what peverted marraige he destroyed the world with a flood in Noah’s Day and he destroyed Sodom...

Can you think of a more Sacred Covenant than the Marraige Covenant?

“Can you think of a more Sacred Covenant than the Marraige Covenant?”

Are you sure a union between a man and woman is the holiest partnership? I’d say it’s with G-D. It’s with whatever scripture you follow. It’s an eternal one, not a mortal time stamped one. It’s an all encompassing thing, and includes rules of law, and so on.

Abraham’s personal covenant with G-D is discussed in Genesis. Certainly it was stronger than any covenant he could have with another human, even Sarah.

By the way, I would never say your personal beliefs are wrong, but picking up a Jewish Hebrew/English translation version of the 5 books of Moses might be really interesting for you, if you have the time, and give a little more detail that was possibly lost in the New Testament. The sections on commandments are argued about endlessly later in the Talmud (which is a collection of Sages giving theories), many of which were of no importance to Christians, but still would form a better understanding of what Jews mean by a Covenant with G-D.
