ok, so if we dont need to marry because we are already married, then whats all that hoopla about fornication?
matt 5:[32] But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
1 cor 5:[1] It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
1 cor 6:[18] Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that commiteth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1 cor 7:[2] Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
eph 5:[3] But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
1 thes 4:[3] For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

next time i get the thought of replying to one of these threads, im going to hit myself with something blunt until the feeling goes away.
By some member on another site:
That doesn't go with your original hypothesis. 'one flesh' states the 2 become one, meaning 2 people become one person. If 2 people become one person, how can the process be done again? the husband and wife are already one person. Furthermore When the whole incident with david and bethseba and how it displeased the Lord goes against your hypothesis, also Mat 5:27-28. If there was to be no marriage, then why did Jesus say "Looking at another woman lustfully is commiting adultry", and for the sake of argument, even if the bible did condone pologamy (and it doesn't but I am saying this to prove a point) there is nothing against having only one wife anyway, which still goes against your hypothesis.
