Almost Laughable
by Lester Barrie

Hey everyone, I heard Kevin Nash say something very distrubing on his radio show this past Sunday.  If I heard him correctly he is in serious need of prayer, because God is not the author of confusion (1 Cor 14:33).  The following is my letter to Kevin.  Let me know what you think:

Hey Kevin

Sunday I thought I heard you assert: There is no such thing as premarital sex because marriage occurs when two people have sex.

Kevin, please forgive me if I missed something before or after the time I was listening and I have you all wrong.

I pray that is the case.

I will reply to this false doctrine anyway and will post in my blog for public reaction.

I say it is “almost” laughable because there are too many women who desire Holy Matrimony being exploited sexually by men who can say this type of thing with a straight face.

I mean that with no disrespect toward you personally Kevin. Really. Lol.

Most compelling:

Joseph took Mary as his wife, but did not have sex with her until Jesus was born. Mat 1:24-25

If it were true that marriage only occurs when two people have sex,

a. Mary and Joseph were not married when Christ was born.

However, if the Bible is right:
a. Joseph took Mary as his wife.
b. Jesus was born.
c. Joseph had sex with Mary after the birth of Jesus.

IN THAT ORDER.

But if that is not enough, consider this.
1.Marriage is a covenant agreement.
2.Covenant: A solemn promise to engage in or refrain from a specified action. In religion covenants are made in alliance with God. (Wikipedia)
3.With covenant agreements there must be intent or promise to be joined as husband and wife.
4.God models covenant agreements between Groom and bride with His relationship with Israel. (Isaiah 54:5)
5. He also models covenant agreements between Groom and Bride with the relationship between Christ and the Church. (Mat 9:15)
6.Fornication is listed in scripture among the works of the flesh. (Galatians 5:19-21)
7.Fornication: Voluntary sexual intercourse between persons not married. (Wikipedia)
8.Fornication is contrasted with self control in the list of the fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22)
9.When two people fornicate there is no “intent” to be married and no alliance with God.

Kevin, I hope this puts and dagger in the heart of this false teaching.

I would love to talk to you in person or on your show about Holy Matrimony.

Kevin I do comedy for a living, but my ministry is NO JOKE.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
