ETERNITY OF THE MARRIAGE COVENANT.
ECCL. 3:14.—"Whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever."
GEN. CHAPS. 2 & 3.—Before the Fall, Adam and Eve were immortal, therefore their marriage was eternal in its nature.
MATT. 16:19.—Peter received divine authority, so that whatsoever he bound on earth was bound in heaven.
MATT. 22:23-33.—As in baptism, marriage is performed on earth—not after the resurrection. The ordinance must be performed by one having authority, such as Peter; and the married must be believers, not such as the Sadducees who denied the resurrection and knew not the scriptures nor the power of God.
