Most believe God performed the first marriage. What does the bible say about that marriage?

(Genesis 2:20-24) So the man was calling the names of all the domestic animals and of the flying creatures of the heavens and of every wild beastof the field, but for man there was found no helper as a complement of him. Hence Jehovah God had a deep sleep fall upon the man and, while he was sleeping, he took one of his ribs and then closed up the flesh over its place. And Jehovah God proceeded to build the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman and to bring her to the man. Then the man said: “This is at last bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh. This one will be called Woman, Because from man this one was taken.” 24 That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh.

Doesn’t appear God said much. Adam and his wife became one flesh! God took a rib from Adam and built the rib into the woman. (Seems God performed the first ever surgery!) Adam accepted his rib back by saying “bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh”. But Adam became one flesh with his wife not God. The first marriage was a contract or covenant between Adam (marrying) and the woman (given in marriage) not God!!

(Matthew 24:38) For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark.

Some believe the following verses constituted the first marriage:

(Genesis 1:22) With that God blessed them, saying: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the waters in the sea basins, and let the flying creatures become many in the earth.”

(Genesis 1:28) Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.”

Is this a marriage contract? Look at the account of Noah after the flood when he exited the ark:

(Genesis 9:1) And God went on to bless Noah and his sons and to say to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth.

Yeah, God blessed Noah and his SONS not Noah and his wife!! Did God marry Noah and his sons? NO! You get it. Noah and his sons were already MARRIED! So the blessing itself did not constitute a marriage but it did constitute a contract between them and God. Same goes for Adam and the woman.

Materialized angels (Nephilim) had relations with woman and bore children! Were they married? Did they become one flesh with these woman? NO!! They were not born of flesh. So how could they become one flesh? Did they enter into a contract? No.

(Genesis 6:4) The Nephilim proved to be in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of the [true] God continued to have relations with the daughters of men and they bore sons to them, they were the mighty ones who were of old, the men of fame.
Jesus spoke that marrying did not exist in heaven nor did it exist for the resurrected. Why is this so?

(Mark 12:24, 25) Jesus said to them: “Is not this why YOU are mistaken, YOUR not knowing either the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, neither do men marry nor are women given in marriage, but are as angels in the heavens.

So those angels were forbidden to marry. Why? The angels are in a covenant with God. The resurrected are in a covenant with Christ. The congregation is the bride of the Christ.

(Revelation 19:7) Let us rejoice and be overjoyed, and let us give him the glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has arrived and his wife has prepared herself.

(John 3:29) He that has the bride is the bridegroom. However, the friend of the bridegroom, when he stands and hears him, has a great deal of joy on account of the voice of the bridegroom. Therefore this joy of mine has been made full.

(Revelation 21:9) And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls which were full of the seven last plagues, and he spoke with me and said: “Come here, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.

(Luke 22:28-30) However, YOU are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials; 29 and I make a covenant with YOU, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom, 30 that YOU may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

So is marriage between a man and a woman? If yes then the Christ CANNOT marry his congregation. Since his congregation is his bride and it is made up of many men and women!
