    Yes for sure Romans 15:4, 1 Corinthians 10:11 and 1 Peter 1:10-12 teach us that. However, as you rightly point out, it is possible to go too far as Irenaeus did. It is also possible to miss important differences in the types and to draw wrong conclusions from them. For example, the Hebrew word for 'pitch' in Genesis 6:14 is quite different from that in Exodus 2:3, and Presbyterians argue for infant 'baptism' from 1 Corinthians 10:1-2.

    I am moving but I have a house with a low mortgage and under 20K buy out on the property … so the wife wants to wait. I’m looking to buy a big used LS400 with a luxury ride and a solid V8 Cruze ride and a big back seat for the boxer dog instead of the cramped Prius Hybrid my son sourced me. Sleep in Red Roofs around the country. Forget Fla, but the South ie SC, GA, Tenn etc… but need to see it first. In NJ we are having a bit of a illegal migrant crisis that’s killing these small towns with drugs and blatant lawlessness (where do I even start). What’s really killer is the lack of community in churches and predator churches using people to enrich themselves. The real laugh is a local Methodist Church (the wife refers to it as the Community Center) sponsoring SpainishLanguage classes for English speakers wanting to communicate with the Spanish speakers LOL. Digest that!

    Not what the phrase "become one flesh" means. Obviously for Adam and Eve "to become one flesh" cannot refer to Eve coming from Adam's "one flesh" (his rib). Two other meanings are found, (1) the phrase refers to the bond of marriage," and (2) the phrase refers to sexual coupling." However 1 Corinthians 6:16, clearly indicates the phase is used to refer to "sexual coupling" and therefore scripture indicates that is what is in view in Genesis 2:24.

    My parents came to NW New Jersey from Scranton PA right after he got we out of the Army after Korea in 1957. There were no jobs there and the M&M Candy factory moving to New Jersey so my dad secured a job there. No other reason to live in Jersey. Jersey was just starting as the center of big pharm, ie Johnson & Johnson, Squibb, Merck, Pfizer etc. Along with that, towns & communities grew
