It is an answer page to a question posed by a writer querying, "does sex equal marriage?" The responder from FOTF agrees that two people knowing (having sex with) each other is marriage in the eyes of God – without priest, ceremony or state involvement. However, the responder does not support teaching people (the church) this known fact outright. Why? This is another example of the Priest not sharing the knowledge with the people (not sharing Truth). - Read Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children”. We have provided a jump link to the FOTF page supporting "knowing (sex) equals marriage" on their site - HERE Just in case the page “no longer exists”, we have a copy of it on our server - HERE Document (pdf) can be downloaded for study and discussion - HERE TTGM – Quick comment What the FOTF responder needs to know is that no matter what century it is, God’s established precept for marriage between two people will never change, no matter how many layers of man’s religious rites are placed on the institution. If the world’s church taught people what God had established (one flesh equals marriage), we would most likely see less adultery being practiced at wedding altars (we have no desire to be politically correct on this site). ----- ----- 1a Document Summary – Matthew 19:19 [is there an exception that allows for divorce?]: This document was written by John Piper (about), the founder and teacher of desiringGod.org He is also the Chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary. This is a complete analysis of the verse in combination with other statements made in the New Testament on the use of Fornication (porneia) vs Adultery (moicheia) as described by the “TTGM Jesus” answer on page 4. Other commentaries treat porneia as adultery or as meaning the same thing, but by doing this they fall short of explaining this verse in its entirety. (Why would Jesus use two separate words in the same sentence that mean the same etc?). However, John presents a solid argument for why the distinction was made.

If God’s church leaders living now were asked if the couples before 1545 (Council of Trent) were married, what would they say? If you have read the entire article, the answer for you is easy. If you side with God’s church then: You can answer this for yourself. If the couples before 1545 were married by coming together (one flesh), are people today married under the same circumstances? Then why are they told they are living in sin?
