Newsgroups: soc.religion.christian Subject: Marriage Message-ID: Date: 10 Apr 91 09:04:34 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Organization: Georgia Institute of Technology Lines: 22 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu I'm looking for anyone who'd have a good list of OT/NT references regarding love (as in two members of the opposite sex) and marriage, i.e. sanctity, faithfulness, sex, etc. It's for a Sundaay School discussion. Thanks. -- Robert John Butera Jr., aka "Knome" | "Indeed, one can reasonably argue Georgia Tech, Atlanta, GA 30332 | that total objectivity can only uucp: ...!{...}!gatech!prism!gt5614b | be the product of total indifference ARPA: gt5614b@prism.gatech.edu | or total ignorance" -- Jody Powell [I'll try to give a starting point, though I suspect others will want to contribute more. This is certainly not intended as a complete list. Eph 5:21-33 is the most extended treatment I can think of about marriage in the NT. You might want to point them to Song of Solomon. Many kids are shocked to find such a thing in the Bible. (It's helpful in countering the common impression that sex is dirty to know that there is erotic poetry in the Bible.) Proverbs has various passages about not philandering, and the prophets are full of passages comparing prostitution and idolatry. (The same images are used in Rev.) --clh]
