I'll be honest. I didn't even know that you made
any reference to "ONE FLESH" per
se, but it just goes to prove that we are on the same page. What you
say about the sixties is so true. In the sixties they had to learn that
there are consequences for loving corruption and confusion as much as
there consequences for loving correctly.
From a scientific standpoint, adulteration is also
a process that renders a substance "impure". A chemist will regularly adulterate
various substances in a laboratory setting to
observe and learn what the outcome, product, or consequence, of that
adulteration will be. The "love experiments" of the sixties
also produced many results that were not conducive to a healthy
society. Many of these experiments continue in corruption even today.
I think it stands to reason why the Lord God told
His people, "Thou shalt not commit adultery." Geneticists and other
scientists are doing this on a daily basis without even realizing it:
Adulterating our genetic material with other material. They are
interested in what the consequences will produce; hence, stem cell
research.
As for the secular government writ commonly called
the "marriage license", few people understand that this was also based
on an experiment in Louisiana after the slaves were freed. At that time
many "concerned citizens" desired to keep track of the affairs of their
former slaves. They were very concerned about something called
miscegenation, a form of what many racist
individuals considered to be "adultery". As a result of this great
concern for inter-racial marriage they invented a new law that
required all "mixed-marriages" to apply for a marriage license. Prior
to this, there was no secular marriage license in
all of the U.S.A. Neither did the churches of GOD
have any such custom. (All of this can be verified in Black's
Law Dictionary.)
The custom of paying the State government for
permission to marry worked out so well for the State of
Louisiana, that other states quickly followed suit. In
1923 the Uniform Marriage and Marriage License Act was
established by the Federal government. In 1929 the name of this act was
changed to the Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act.Under
this act it became mandatory for all residents in the U.S.A to register
their intentions to marry (if they had such intention) with a State
endorsed marriage license, regardless of race, creed, or colour; but
in the beginning it was not so.
What I find most interesting concerning the matter
of licensing marriages is that the incidence of
legal divorcement in the U.S.A., after the establishment of this Act in
1923, has increased over 600% by ratio, with respect to prior
divorcement records (which have a much earlier history). This should be
ample proof that rings and vows and paper writ do not a marriage make.
It begs to be stated again, that in the beginning it was not so?
