Marriage

     Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Gen.2: 24
     Marriage is a divine unity between a man and a woman instituted divinely by God. Marriage is designed for the happiness of a woman and a man, and that happiness is the power of love that unites both man and woman into one. Thus, the extension of the united love is the continuation of their species; through their love, towards each other, and their children.   
     All races descended from Adam and Eve. Gen.5 .All nations are of one blood be male or female. Our God's interest in marriage is not racial but spiritual. 
    Every human being is commanded to love God. Dt. 11:1 " Therefore thou shall love the lord thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, always". When a couple vow to become one with love in the presence of the Lord, and are blessed by the Lord God with a holy marriage, it becomes most essential that the newly wed strengthen their spiritual relationship with their Lord God. Why? Because they will need the power of God to give them love to overcome the worldly temptations, and turbulence of daily life. Why God and not other? Well, these are some of God's attributes, and so far there has been no other god that surpassed Him. God has been declared to be: Compassionate, Eternal, Faithful, Glorious, Good, Gracious, Great, Holy, Immortal, Immutable, Incorruptible, Invisible, Just, Light, Love, Merciful, Most High, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient, Perfect, Righteous, True, Unsearchable, Upright, fills heaven and earth, none before Him, none beside Him, none good but Him, none like to Him, He is a Spirit, and he should be worshipped in Spirit and Truth. 
     How wonderful it is to have a marriage with its bases founded on the Love of God. When a married couple accepts God in their life, they will enjoy and prosper in the making of their home. God will bless them abundantly and never forsake them no matter what happens. People, friends, even family might leave when troubles arise. But, the Lord God will never ever leave your home, why, because you and your family have decided to worship His Name. 
      Therefore it is wise to love God and prosper with unity; than reject him and suffer separation. 
God blesses all that love Him, and destroys all that hate Him. That is the truth, which has been seen through thousands of years of human history. 
      The foundation of marriage is in the Love of God. 

God's Ten Commandments

God wanted to give us His Commandments to open a way for us to be closer to his love. To be closer to the path of righteousness in our daily life which is given by His Grace. The Love Of our lord God should be in our hearts so that these commandments work in our lives. Happy or sad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, knowledgeable or ignorant, within all aspects of our lives, The "God’s Ten Commandments" directly or indirectly has been with us, however our obedience and disobedience to the commandments always has had great judgment during and at the end of our lives.
  1. YAHWEH alone is GOD. ( Ex, 20:2) I Am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
  2. NO IDOL IS TO BE MADE, TO REPRESENT EITHER YAHWEH OR ANY SUPERNATURAL POWER. ( Ex, 20:4) Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
  3. THE NAME OF YAHWEH IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AN EMPTY SYMBOL, AS THOUGH GOD WERE NOT REAL AND POWERFUL. (Ex, 20:7). Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
  4. THE SEVENTH DAY IS TO BE SET APART FOR REST. ( Ex. 20, 8-11) Remember to keep the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the lord made heaven and earth, the seam and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
  5. PARENTS ARE TO BE HONORED BY THEIR CHILDREN. SO THAT THEY MAY LIVE LONG IN THE LAND THE LORD YOUR GOD IS GIVING YOU. (Ex. 20, 12) Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God gives thee.
  6. GOD’S PEOPLE ARE TO GUARD ONE ANOTHER’S LIVES. (Ex. 20:13) Thou shalt not kill.
  7. GOD’S PEOPLE ARE TO BE FAITHFUL TO COVENANT COMMITMENTS. (Ex. 20: 14) Thou shalt not commit adultery.
  8. GOD’S PEOPLE ARE TO RESPECT OTHERS’ PROPERTY. ( Ex. 20: 15) Thou shalt not steal.
  9. GOD’S PEOPLE ARE TO GUARD ONE ANOTHER’S REPUTATIONS. (Ex. 20:16) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
  10. GOD’S PEOPLE ARE NOT TO ENVY OTHER PEOPLE FOR THEIR POSSESSIONS. (Ex. 20: 17) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s.
