There is a commonly suggested theological summation with reference to 'fornication' as it pertains to the 'putting away/divorce' of one's wife that a 'married couple' CANNOT commit fornication. As such, many use the following argument as the basis for their theology.
With respect to the above quotation I humbly ask that those who support this theory PLEASE answer the following questions:
Do they think that ANY of the individuals in the following Passage were ever 'officially' married (per their definition of marriage - marriage sexually consummated) before they committed their wicked acts of fornication OR do they suggest that NONE of these peoples had ever been officially married?
We know from Scripture that the above noted sin of 'fornication' was indeed both physical and sexual.
Meanwhile, how do they explain these Passages referenced by Apostle Paul and do they think that ALL 23,000/24,000 Jews who committed this act of fornication were actually ever 'officially married' per their definition? They were committing Hebrew 'zanah' - fornication/whoredom/idolatry BOTH physically and spiritually with the daughters of Moab and their pagan gods. (Num. 25:1-9)
In closing, are they also equally suggesting that the 'commonly reported' practice of fornication with respect to 1 Cor. 5:1 (having one's father's wife) reasonably assumes that there was absolutely no chance that the father could have still been living when this egregious act of fornication was committed against him by his son?
In order for the above suggested theology regarding fornication as being NOT applicable to 'married couples' (after the marriage is sexually consummated) to be sustainable, then they are compelled to answer the above questions with Biblical proof and clarity supporting their preponderance.
