MALE AND FEMALE:
IT TAKES BOTH TO PROCREATE!
Genesis 1:26-28 - And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.
[Note: Two observations: 1) Both male and female were created in God's image; and 2) the man and the woman were instructed to procreate - something that requires a man and a woman!
Also, "replenish" is מָלֵא mâlêʼ which means to fill, not refill!]
Genesis 5:1-2 - This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him; male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Genesis 6:18-20 - But with thee will I establish My covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
Genesis 7:13-16 - In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; they, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
Matthew 19:3-5 - The Pharisees also came unto Him, tempting Him, and saying unto Him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man . . . cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
1 Corinthians 7:1-2 - Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
MALE AND FEMALE:
A PICTURE OF CHRIST AND THE CHURCH!
Ephesians 5:30-33 - For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. For this cause shall a man . . . be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the Church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
1 Timothy 3:2, 12 - A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife - - - Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
Titus 1:5-6 - For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou should set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: if any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
GOD ONLY APPROVES OF RELATIONS
BETWEEN A HUSBAND AND WIFE!
ALL OTHER SEXUAL ACTIVITY
IS AN ABOMINATION TO HIM!
