Q59: COULD GOD ACCEPT HIS WORDS TO BE MISTRANSLATED? DOESN'T THAT MAKE THE BIBLE INACCURATE?

1. COULD GOD ACCEPT HIS WORDS TO BE MISTRANSLATED? DOESN'T THAT MAKE THE BIBLE INACCURATE?

2. How are we to judge whether Church doctrine is corrupt or not if we dismiss the Bible as obsolete?

ANSWER: From the side of God, He does not want His Bible to be mistranslated. But the TORAH or the BIBLE was already given to Man, and Man was also given the freedom of Choice or FREEWILL. And Man because of Sin, caused by the Yetzer Hara (Evil Inclination) injected by Satan, mistranslated God's Bible to suit his carnal desires. The Bible is mistranslated either unintentionally or intentionally or BOTH. This is prophesied in Jeremiah 8:8-9, and Job 13:4.

• How can you claim: We are wise; the law of the LORD is with us? In fact, the lying pen of scribes has produced falsehood.  (Jer 8:8)

• The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and snared. They have rejected the word of the LORD, so what wisdom do they really have?  (Jer 8:9)

• But you coat the truth with lies; you are all worthless doctors.  (Job 13:4)

Yes, ALL the Bible translations are inaccurate. Only the original Hebrew Bible given by God to Moses at Mount Sinai is accurate. 

The process of translating the Bible automatically change the original words, and this greatly affects the original intended meaning and power of the Words of God. The translators may have the intention to inject their own religious ideas, or may be not. But the fact is, in the translation process many intended meaning and concepts, and the truth of the Bible are either lost or changed.

Don't get me wrong. I don't mean that we have to reject the present Bible translations altogether. We still need the present Bible translations, as the "Beginner's Guide, Elementary Textbook, or Stepping Stone" to the higher levels of God's Truth. But we should not stop, or feel comfortable with these Bible translations. People who develop "comfort zones" with these Bible translations became victims of the following scriptures.

• The LORD said, "It is because they abandoned My law I set in front of them and did not obey My voice or walk according to it.  (Jer 9:13)

• Instead, they followed the stubbornness of their hearts and the Baals, as their fathers taught them."  (Jer 9:14)

• ...the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited LIES, VANITY, and things wherein there is no profit.  (Jer 16:19 KJV)

DIG DEEP, AND BREAK THROUGH THE BIBLE TRANSLATIONS TO FIND AND UNDERSTAND THE PURE AND COMPLETE LIVING WORDS OF GOD

We have to dig deeper, and soar higher to really find and understand the PURE and COMPLETE Words of God.

The responsibility to care and preserve the pure and holy Bible or the Scriptures were given By God only to the Jewish people. As the Jews were in exile, the TORAH or the BIBLE was in exile also. This means that the Truths in the BIBLE are scattered all over the world, covered with many layers of  falsehood and lies (the impurities of Klipah). This means that to acquire the PURE AND COMPLETE TRUTH of the Bible, we must dig deep, and break through the husks and shells of these KLIPAH. As we do this painstaking process, we must be willing to throw away all those Klipah of falsehood. Of course, we cannot do this by own effort and intelligence. We need the Spirit of Truth and the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom.

The reality of the Bible translations today is that they are all covered or enveloped with wrong translations and private interpretations of men, which led to lies and erroneous beliefs and doctrines about the pure words of God. This means that the holy and pure Truth of God is still contained within the Bible, only that it is covered or surrounded with the "shell" and "husk" or KLIPAH (Hebrew word for evil forces).

To illustrate my point, think of it this way: We are all familiar with the coconut fruit ("buko" or "niyog"). What we need in these fruits are the nutritious coconut meat and juice inside. We don't like the husk and shell that covers the coconut fruit. So what we do, is that we open the fruit by cutting or breaking the husk and shell to get the meat and juice for our beneficial use. After doing this, we throw away the husk and shell as garbage.

WHAT WE MUST DO WITH THE BIBLE TRANSLATIONS ENVELOPED WITH ERRORS AND LIES

We must do the same with the Bible. We don't throw away the Bible just because it is covered with the "husk" or klipah of errors and lies. What we should do is to "cut through" the husk and shell, and access the pure and nutritious words of God, that give us life! This means a whole new approach to our Bible Studies!

COULD GOD ACCEPT HIS WORDS TO BE MISTRANSLATED?

God does not approved the translations of the Bible, but He permitted it. This situation became a test to people. By this, God can truly identify who are really after His truth, and not after the teachings of men about the Bible. And the prophesy of Christ in Matthew 24:5 can be fulfilled.

Then He said, "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' Don't follow them. (Luk 21:8)

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  (Mat 24:5 KJV)

And Jesus said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive YOU (Mat 24:4).

So, for those who really want to know the truth of God, they must focus and use their minds sharply to get the true and full meaning of every scripture in the Bible. And they must use all the current technologies and resources available to see and prove the point. And the most important of all, they must ask God for wisdom and for the Spirit of Truth to guide them (John 16:12-14).

As we continue to search for the truth that is truly from GOD the Father, we must always have an open mind, and always check every letter, word, and context of the verses written in the Bible translations against the original Hebrew Bible. If these seem formidable to you, don't worry, the BRIDE OF CHRIST Ministry now exists for that very purpose -- to help the brethren and the public in the true understanding of the pure and holy Hebrew Bible which is a requirement for Salvation.

With the above revelations, we are now forced to go back to the original, pure, and unadulterated words of God, which is the Hebrew Bible, as given by God to Moses. It is truly a big test to every Jew and Christian.

Q58: CAN GOD BE DEFEATED BY IRON CHARIOTS (Judges 1:19)? Please Comment on Judges 1:19. The Bible Writer Seems So Enamored With The Technology of the Day -- The IRON CHARIOTS -- That Even God Could Not Prevail!

Hi, Lope. Can you comment on Judges 1:19. The Bible writer seems so enamored with the Technology of the day -- the IRON CHARIOTS -- that even God could not prevail. 

-- MICHAEL REGONDOLA
   Cavite City, Philippines

• Judah captured Gaza and its territory, Ashkelon and its territory, and Ekron and its territory.  (Jdg 1:18)

• The LORD was with Judah and enabled them to take possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the people who were living in the valley because those people had iron chariots.  (Jdg 1:19)

Were the iron chariots too strong for God? Can God be defeated by chariots of iron, when God Himself has thousands and thousands of chariots of angels (Psalm 68:17)?

• The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. (Psa 68:17 KJV)

A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF BIBLE MISTRANSLATION!

The verse (Judges 1:19) is improperly translated. The first clause, The Lord was with Judah should be part of verse 18; this gives the reason for the success of the tribe of Judah: The Lord was with Judah, and therefore Judah captured Gaza and its territory, Ashkelon and its territory, and Ekron and its territory (Judges 1:18). It is because that the LORD was with Judah, that they were able to conquer their enemies.

The remaining part of the verse either refers to a different time, or to the sin of the tribe of Judah against the Lord, which caused Him to withdraw His support. As always, when the people of God commit sin, God leaves them. Therefore, they lost God's protection, and their enemies became strong and fearsome to the Israelites.

The following Scriptures show that when Israel sins, God always leave them, and they are given (sold) to their enemies as punishment of the sin.

• The Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD after Ehud had died.  (Jdg 4:1)

• So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his forces was Sisera who lived in Harosheth of the Nations.  (Jdg 4:2)

Because of their unbelief and/or sins, they distrusted God's power to destroy those who had chariots of iron, whereby God was provoked to withdraw His helping hand. Not because the iron chariots were too strong for God's power; but because their courage and faith failed when they saw them. And God is not with them anymore.

WHEN GOD'S PEOPLE REPENTS AND RETURNS TO HIM, NO IRON CHARIOTS OR ADVANCED HI-TECH WEAPONS OF WAR CAN DEFEAT THEM!

But when Israel or His chosen people return to God, God fights for them, and no IRON CHARIOTS can stand before them! 

• Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, because Jabin had 900 iron chariots, and he harshly oppressed them 20 years.  (Jdg 4:3)

HOW GOD DESTROYED THE IRON CHARIOTS AS HE FIGHTS FOR HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE

• It was reported to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor.  (Jdg 4:12)

• Sisera summoned all his 900 iron chariots and all the people who were with him from Harosheth of the Nations to the Wadi Kishon.  (Jdg 4:13)

• Then Deborah said to Barak, "Move on, for this is the day the LORD has handed Sisera over to you. Hasn't the LORD gone before you?" So Barak came down from Mount Tabor with 10,000 men following him.  (Jdg 4:14)

• The LORD threw Sisera, all his charioteers, and all his army into confusion with the sword before Barak. Sisera left his chariot and fled on foot.  (Jdg 4:15)

• That day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.  (Jdg 4:23)

IF  GOD IS WITH HIS PEOPLE, IRON CHARIOTS ARE NOTHING BEFORE THEM!

• You can also drive out the Canaanites, even though they have iron chariots and are strong."  (Jos 17:18)

This is the meaning given to the verse by Jonathan ben Uzziel: "And the Word of the LORD  was in the support of the house of Judah, and they extirpated the inhabitants of the mountains; but afterwards, when they sinned, they were not able to extirpate the inhabitants of the plain country, because they had chariots of iron." 

SUMMARY: Judges 1:19 is a mistranslation. The first clause, The Lord was with Judah should be part of verse 18. It does not mean that God cannot drive away the IRON CHARIOTS as verse 1:19 presented. 

The reason why the Israelites cannot drive away the Iron Chariots is because God left them because of their sins or lack of faith. Without God in their midst, they lost the divine protection that God provides, so they are now weak before their enemies.

Lope, thanks for the scholarly answer to my question. But could God accept his words to be mistranslated? Doesn't that make the Bible inaccurate? I'll be citing more passages for your comments. Among all that I've talk too, no one commented like you do. I trust you have the ability to get to the actual answer. If its a mistranslation, we all should take it as that and close the issue. Be clear on my motive: I don't want to believe. I want to know.

Q57: WHY IS ORAL SEX CONSIDERED A FORNICATION AND SIN? HOW BAD OF A SIN IS FORNICATION BEFORE GOD?

Hey, thanks, Pastor Lope,
Hearing that our sexual act is marriage through Jesus is nice to know, because I've always felt that it was right and we we're already considered married through Jesus when we brought our son into the world. To me it was of our own personal ceremony with God. We have a good marriage, we have such a respecting love for each other, and thats way more lasting than lust love. We have a very strong relationship. We work well....

As for the fornication, we unfortunately don't do missionary often, how bad of a sin could that be to God? Does he even forgive fornication? As well, (this is a completely sincere question) why is oral sex considered a fornication? 

In some religions they have books of the Gods doing all sorts of different things.  I can see why  the others are bad, and I do with oral too, but how else would the woman get "prepared interanly" for the actual act? (Again, these are completely serious questions).

As well I just wanted to say, we have finally discussed fully about marriage and what it means to me as well as him, and soon we're going to get married... not too sure when but soon he's going to purpose. 

Thanks for replying and I hope I'm on track with God, I'm scared to get fooled or deceived, like they say beware of a wolf wearing a sheep's robe. Anyway, I look forward to hearing back from you. And if you have any advice you'd want to share, PLEASE DO SO :)

NOTE: Today, pornography and sexual immoralities are so open and rampant. They abounds everywhere, especially in the Internet. Many people, especially the youth, are so weak to resist, because of their ignorance about sex and marriage. And society are continually making laws (same-sex marriage, etc.) that even encourage such sexual pollutions destroying God's divine Marriage and Family. 

There must be a powerful force to counteract these destructive weapons of the enemy. This counter force is the Messianic Kabbalah knowledge that all people today need very much. So, in this unique question and answer article, I discussed some of the divine secrets of Holy Sex and Marriage.

Q1. As for the Fornication, we unfortunately don't do missionary often. How bad of a sin could that be to God? As well, (this is a completely sincere question) why is oral sex considered a fornication?

A1. Sex is holy, and God's Holy Name is involved here. Sexual organs are designed by God to be used ONLY with sexual organs of the opposite sex. God is pure, so sex must be treated carefully with purity.

GOD did not designed the Mouth for Sex. The Mouth is designed only for eating the proper food, speaking the proper words, singing the right tunes, and for the proper and Holy kissing. 

To give you a deep secret of sex: 

When you and your husband copulate with each other, the two of you is uniting the Hebrew letters of God's Holy Name, which is YHVH, or  YUD HEI VAV HEI. 

• The sperm is in the shape of the YUD.
• The shape of the woman's sex organ is in the shape of the HEI.
• The shape of Man's sex organ (Penis) is in the shape of the VAV. 

This name of God is so holy and powerful that if the 4 Hebrew letters unite, the product is a new life, a new baby with a Righteous Soul inside. So, we can see that sex involves God's Holy Name. 

When we talk about God's Holy Name, this is an awesome thing not to be taken lightly or in a trivial manner. This is the reason why sex should be guarded, taken care of, and should be treated with utmost modesty and morality, and in complete privacy.

• Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.  (Rom 6:12 KJV)

• Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as INSTRUMENTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto God.  (Rom 6:13 KJV)

Q2. Does He (GOD) even forgive Fornication?

A2. Of course, God forgives fornication. There is no sin that is big or small that God cannot forgive. The trigger point of that forgiveness totally depends on the sinner. The sinner must sincerely repent of his/her sins, no matter what it is. All sins will not be forgiven without the proper and sincere REPENTANCE.

Q3. In some religions they have books of the Gods doing all sorts of different things. I can see why the others are bad, and...

A3. About the other religions that you mentioned, they are all Pagans, and are doing all kinds of abominations before the True God. And God commands us all that we should avoid and never do their practices.

Q4. ...I do with oral too, but if it is prohibited by God, how else would the woman get "prepared internally" for the actual act?

A4. I cannot tell you everything (the details) here about sexual procedures, it is too private and delicate. Nevertheless, here are some Scriptures that will help and guide you in your marriage, as you strive to obey God.

• For they who are according to the flesh mind the things of flesh, but they who are according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit.  (Rom 8:5 MKJV)

• For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace  (Rom 8:6 MKJV)

• So then they who are in the flesh cannot please God.  (Rom 8:8 MKJV)

• But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.  (Rom 8:9 MKJV)

• ...we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.  (Rom 8:12 MKJV)

• For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die. But if you through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.  (Rom 8:13 MKJV)

• A husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise a wife to her husband.  (1Cor 7:3 HCSB)

• A wife does not have authority over her own body, but her husband does. Equally, a husband does not have authority over his own body, but his wife does.  (1Cor 7:4 HCSB)

• Do not deprive one another--except when you agree, for a time, to devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again; otherwise, Satan may tempt you because of your lack of self-control.  (1Cor 7:5 HCSB)

Q56: ARE FORNICATION AND ADULTERY COMMITTED BY MARRIED PEOPLE DUE TO EVIL THINKING AND WRONG SEXUAL ACTS? Or Just Being With Someone that's Not Fit?

Hi, Pastor Lope Columna, 

1. I read all your pages yesterday, the same ones that you referred me too. You state that marriage is a strong relationship between 2 that become one, I strongly believe in that, but you also state that married people commit fornication and adultery. Is that due to evil thinking and wrongful sexual acts, or just being with someone that's not fit? 
2. Because this is where it gets me, Robert and I are already 1 soul. When I say we're married, we really are, just missing the ceremony through Jesus and the legal papers. Can you please spoon feed it to me of what you believe my relationship is classified as of now, and what you think God really wants me to do. I feel it's pure, but I want to make sure it is with God, (and I'm not saying your God, but you seem to know the truth in marriage). I found your site very helpful... For the answer, go to: Q550.
   
3. Also the vaccines I have always believe it was going against the body, and I have done all my research and have completely realized it really is nonsense to get these vaccines, our body's are made so perfectly, why would I split DNA because of a risk. Anyway I look forward to hearing back from you... For the answer, go to: Q128.
   

Thank you, Pastor Lope.

Thanks, Amanda, for your 2nd letter. Let me dissect your letter and answer your questions one by one. 

Q1. ...you also state that married people commit fornication and adultery. Is that due to evil thinking and wrongful sexual acts, or just being with someone that's not fit?  

A1. Wrong Sexual Acts are sins before the eyes of God. The Zohar and the Bible reveal that there is only one proper position of sexual acts between a husband and his wife, and that is, always the Face-to-face position. This is shown by God when He separated Eve from the Back of Adam, after which they were allowed to have sexual union, being now in a face-to-face position. Any other position other than this, is wrong in God's eyes. This means that Oral Sex, Anal Sex,  and other perverted sexual acts are immoral and are prohibited by God.

EVIL THINKING is also wrong, especially during sexual acts, when the husband or the wife is thinking of other persons. This means that a husband may be having a romance with his wife, but he is thinking of another woman or women. It is the same with the wife, thinking of another man while in romance with his husband. The Zohar said that if this is the case, God will allow a foul or impure soul to enter the fetus and baby of that couple if the wife gets pregnant.

Every husband and wife must strive to think ONLY of each other during their sexual union. I know this is hard due to the pollution of sights in this world. But, if we want a Godly child, then we should purify our thoughts every sexual union with our spouse.

IN MARRIAGE UNION, ONLY 3 PERSONS ARE INVOLVED AND ARE AUTHORIZED TO PARTICIPATE

Please be informed that during sexual act only three personalities are involved: God, the Husband, and the Wife. The husband and wife or the Father and Mother contribute their genes to the body of the child, but the soul comes from God. When God sends an impure soul to the fetus, then the parents will have a problematic child.

ADULTERY is a more serious sin before God, such that it could result to divorce and death to couples involved. For more explanations, go to: THE SECRET TRUTH OF ADULTERY NOW REVEALED! What is Adultery? How is it Committed? What Happens During an Adulterous Relationship? Now, You Can Really Know!
 

SEXUAL PURITY: The MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE MARRIAGE AND FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS

What is very important in the husband-and-wive relationship, according to God's standards, is the PURITY of their marriage and Family relationships. This is why ADULTERY is a great sin in marriage. Adultery means "adulterated" or impure. As a verb, to adulterate means to corrupt, debase, or make impure by adding a foreign substance.

Q2. Because this is where it gets me, Robert and I are already 1 soul. When I say we're married, we really are, just missing the ceremony through Jesus and the legal papers. Can you please spoon feed it to me of what you believe my relationship is classified as of now, and what you think God really wants me to do.

A2. You and your husband are already married through Jesus. There is no need for ceremony and legal papers. Although it is good to have those papers, it is not required before God. As I explained in my previous answer to your first letter, the very sexual act between a man and a woman is already enough to consider them as married.

Q55: THE CHURCHES ARE MISLED ABOUT THE TRUE MEANING OF FORNICATION. KNOW THE BIBLE'S TRUE DEFINITION OF FORNICATION. "If He Does Not Want Marriage, I'm Not Risking My Eternity. No More Fornicating."

Hello, Pastor Lope Columna, 

I have always had a sense of God in me through out my youthful life, and about 6 months ago, I really opened my eyes to the world's truths as well as all the ignorance in this world and I can't truly say we have all been strongly deceived.  It's really upsetting.  I've been living a true as possible, but living with my own desires being fulfilled.  I realized I needed to get in tune with the real God, the real Jesus. So I figured I'd call a priest from the catholic church to speak with, and when we met, we had a great conversation. This is what I have to tell you.

I am 22 years old, and I have been living with a man for 4 years now, we're not married.  I wanted marriage but he doesn't.  We've been a family basically since day one,  we had a baby 18 months ago. So here's my predicament, and it's a really a tough one for me,  which I talked with the priest about and he said marriage isn't necessary because having a child is like having a ceremony itself, which at the time sounded great coming from a priest. But now a month or so has passed and I have been learning Gods words. The more I read the scriptures the more I can see things clearly. And without being 1 as a whole your adding up sin, even though you think your right. Do you understand what I am meaning?

I pray every night for my family and for God to shine in us, but my boyfriend don't want nothing to do or know about God, and I have a really strong feeling about God, and it gets stronger everyday.  He respects my choice in going to church, but I don't think he'll like what I have to say to him now,  that is, if he doesn't want marriage, I'm not risking my eternity. No more fornicating.  I was scared at first that he will leave me, and which he very may will, but I feel I'll be able to get through it no matter what happens. 

Anyway, the reason I'm emailing you is because I don't trust in things too much, unless its very true sounding.  Even the church I've been going to, I have heard them say a couple things that don't sound right... so its making me see that what if this church is a false one?
 
I just want to be righteous, I love to love, I'm just sick of all the lying and deceiving this world has taught me, and the only truth I have really found to be the truths of life is the bible.  It's sad because I want everyone to wake up and pay attention but they all like to believe in there own personal Jesus, which is so wrong.  I feel really sad about this chance I have with my spouse, but I am going forth to save myself, and whether he's up with it or not, I'll get through it. 

Please help me. I've read a lot of your pages this morning, and I found them very truthful and knowledgeable. And I am a seeker of truth. I hope you send back knowledge directly relating to my positions.  Thank you.

Thanks for your email, Amanda. The following are my comments and answers to your questions. I hope that these help you. If you have further questions, just continue to ask me. 

God Be With You, 

Lope Columna

 

Q1. ...my boyfriend don't want nothing to do or know about God, and I have a really strong feeling about God, and it gets stronger everyday.  He respects my choice in going to church...  I was scared at first that he will leave me, and which he very may will, but I feel I'll be able to get through it no matter what happens.
A1. Never leave your boyfriend/husband, as long as he is willing to live with you. Yet, if he go away, let him do it. The following Scriptures will explain further.

• Also, if any woman has an unbelieving husband, and he is willing to live with her, she must not leave her husband.  (1Co 7:13)

• For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife... Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. (1Co 7:14)

• But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. A brother or a sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to peace.  (1Co 7:15)

• For you, wife, how do you know whether you will save your husband? (1Co 7:16)

Q2. "...IF HE DOESN'T WANT MARRIAGE, I'M NOT RISKING MY ETERNITY. NO MORE FORNICATING."
A2. YOU ARE NOT FORNICATING if you live faithfully with your husband/boyfriend. Your Boyfriend is already your husband, and you are his wife. The guilt you may be experiencing is because of the wrong teaching of the Churches about the subject of Fornication. Almost all Churches teach that a couple living together (live-in) without legal marriage is already committing fornication. But the Bible does not teach this doctrine. 

The definition  of FORNICATION today is man-made, not according to God's definition.

FORNICATION, according to the Bible is SEXUAL IMMORALITY, including ADULTERY, HOMOSEXUALITY, etc. It is not the absence of legal marriage documents. Married couples that are complete with legal documents and wedding ceremonial traditions can still commit Fornication. For more information this important topic of Fornication, please go to, or click: WHAT DOES IT MEAN, FORNICATION? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, PORNOGRAPHY?

SEXUAL PURITY: The MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE MARRIAGE AND FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS

What is very important in the husband-and-wive relationship, according to God's standards, is the PURITY of their Marriage and Family relationships. This is why ADULTERY is a great sin in marriage. Adultery means "adulterated" or impure. As a verb, to adulterate means to corrupt, debase, or make impure by adding a foreign substance.

SEXUAL INTERCOURSE IS THE OFFICIAL ACT AND RECOGNITION OF MARRIAGE, AS THE HUSBAND AND WIFE UNITED INTO ONE FLESH

Sexual Intercourse is also the Binding of the Marriage Covenant Between a Man and a Virgin Woman. They became Husband and Wife (Deuteronomy 22:28-29).

• If a Man finds a Girl, A VIRGIN NOT ENGAGED, and lays hold on her, and lies with her, and they are found, then the man who lay with her shall give to the Girl's Father 50 shekels of silver, and SHE SHALL BE HIS WIFE. Because he has humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. (Deu 22:28-29 MKJV)

All the documents and wedding ceremonies are just peripherals. They may, or may not be present.
The human pair differed from the animal pairs, such that after the sawing of Eve, God brought them together again. And their sexual union made them one again, as before. This passage quoted by Christ as the divine institution of marriage (Matthew 19:4-5,  Ephesians 5:28).

THE CASE OF ISAAC AND REBECCA

• Rebekah looked up, and when she saw Isaac, she got down from her camel and asked the servant, "Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?" The servant answered, "It is my master." So she took her veil and covered herself.  (Gen 24:64-65)

• And Isaac brought her into the tent of his Mother Sarah and took Rebekah to be his Wife. Isaac loved her, and he was comforted...  (Gen 24:67)

...and Isaac took Rebekah, and she became his Wife; This means that Rebekah became the legal wife of Isaac when they have sexual intercourse; that is, their Marriage was consummated. We should notice that there was no Dating, no Engagement, and no man-made Legalities involved here. And there was NO FORNICATION committed here.
