Did Jesus Command Monogamy When He Said “Two Become One”?

YouTube

You’ve heard the line: “Jesus said the two become one flesh” — so that must mean one husband + one wife, right? In this video we trace the phrase “one flesh” through Genesis, Matthew, Paul, and the prophets to show that Jesus was teaching union and permanence, not a simple numeric limit. We look at Matthew 19, Genesis 29 (Jacob & Rachel), 1 Corinthians 6, Ephesians 5, and prophetic allegory to clarify what Scripture teaches about marriage, covenant, and family. What you’ll get in this video - Why the Pharisees’ trap in Matthew 19 is about divorce, not polygyny. - What “one flesh” (Hebrew/Greek sense) actually emphasizes — unity and covenant. - Biblical examples (Jacob, Rachel, Leah, Bilhah, Zilpah) & the Christ/church analogy. - How the one-body imagery in Scripture affects how we read marriage passages. - Scriptures referenced: Matthew 19:3–6; Genesis 2:24; Genesis 29; 1 Corinthians 6:16–17; Ephesians 5:30–31; Ezekiel 23; Jeremiah 3 & 31; Matthew 25.
