Who approved the marriage relationship according to Les?
God and Jesus approved the marriage relationship. God placed His stamp of approval on it way back in the Garden, and Jesus also put His stamp of approval upon it. Scripture further declares the marriage bed is undefiled and honorable in all.
Les explains that from that level of immorality, people change the truth of God into a lie. He points out that Jesus put His stamp of approval upon the marriage relationship, and God put His stamp of approval upon it way back in the Garden. Les notes that all the way through Scripture, Paul says in Hebrews that the marriage bed is undefiled, and God says it is honorable in all. Under God's restraints, these things are perfectly normal and are what God has given. But man has taken the God-given things and used them under the influence of the adversary, Satan, changing the truth of God into a lie, worshiping and serving the creature more than the Creator. As a result, God gave them up to a lower level of lifestyle, to vile affections. Les acknowledges these are unpleasant subjects, but the Book contains them and they must be taught.
