I would not be comfortable at a homosexual wedding, but I would be comfortable talking to a homosexual man outside of a homosexual induction ceremony ritual where incense are being burned to their deity ie Elton John
I don't recall a marriage ceremony in the bible for Adam and Eve, but the bible refers to Eve as the man's wife. I'd argue the consummation makes the marriage.
The marriage that the Holy Bible speaks about is a public declaration that can be documented on paper as a legal contract between an adult man, adult woman, a Church body and the Government, voluntarily and with free consent for all eternity. Therefore it's much more than just "sticking it in"
Is it..where is the first ceremony recorded in the Bible?
The thing is, marriage is a contract period. No mention in the bible that marriage is a convenent but perhaps I'm wrong on that. Also, the contract is between God, the man, and the woman and is valid and enforceable until death of one of the consenting parties. If it is only valid until death than it follows that marriage is not an eternal contract, or convenient, or whatever else it may be called.
Who were the witnesses in the marriage of Adam and Eve? It doesn't even mention in Genesis that they became married but rather it is assumed as such by some. It wouldn't bother me in the least if they were not actually married.
The bible refers to Eve as his wife. So clearly they were married at some point. If any witness were required, it could be God. But as I said before, this is all evidence that marriage isn't about any ceremony, or a piece of paper. It's a covenant written in blood, which is entered into when the marriage is consummated.
