THE PROPER OR
SUITABLE AGE OF
MARRIAGE
by Tony Alamo
What is the proper or suitable age of marriage for men and women? The WORD of GOD says, “I will therefore that the younger women marry” (I Tim. 5:14). And the false prophet Muhammad’s interpretation from the WORD of GOD says, “I advise young women [who have reached puberty] not to refuse marriage from a man due to his age, such as his being ten to fifty years older than her. This is not a reason [to not marry], because the [false] prophet married ‘A’ishah when he was fifty-three years old and she was a girl of six years old. [It is illegal in the Word of God to consummate a marriage to any female that has not reached puberty. It is impossible for a girl to reach puberty at the age of 6. A girl must reach puberty before she can consummate marriage.] So being older [or at puberty] does not matter.” (This comes from FATAWA ISLAMIYAH, Islamic Verdicts, Vol. 5, Collected by Muhammad bin Abdul-Aziz al Muanedi.)
‘A’bdullah bin Baz, a scholar and devout follower of the false prophet Muhammad said, “Many of those who speak on the radio or television deter people from marriage between men and women of different ages.” This is not permissible according to GOD’S WORD (KJV Bible), and Islam has adopted this same fact from the Bible. It is obligatory for a woman to look at the (prospective) husband, and if he is scriptural, she, if she loves him, should agree. This is GOD’S WORD which is included in the Qur’an. Every fake religion must include much of GOD’S HOLY WORD in order to be deceptive enough to recruit followers. The more deceptive the fake religion, the more of GOD’S WORD is included. The difference in marriage age makes no difference if the couple loves one another and they are Godly, scriptural. Two of many instances are: (1) When Sarah died, Abraham married a young woman, no doubt between nine and thirteen years old.1 Many children evolved from this marriage (I Chron. 1:32). Abraham gave inheritances to all his sons, but gave the major inheritance to his son Isaac who Sarah bore (Gen. 25:5-6). (2) Then David, who was 70 years old, married Abishag who was no more than nine or ten years old (I Kings 1:1-4). He never had sex with her, but she gave him heat (I Kings 1:4). “Let GOD be true, but every man a liar” (Rom. 3:4).
GOD gave my Susan to me when I was 30 years old and she was 39 years of age; there was never a greater love.
The false prophet Muhammad, copying this part of the WORD of GOD, married his first wife when she was forty and he was twenty-five, before the revelation came to him. She was fifteen years older than him. His second wife, ‘A’ishah, was six years old. He consummated the marriage with her when she was nine years old and he was fifty-six years old. In the Bible, Isaac who was forty, married Rebecca when she was ten and consummated the marriage when she was ten (The Book of Jasher 24:39-45, Gen. 25:20, 24:61-67). With God, age means nothing at all, as long as both parties have reached puberty, love one another, and are Godly, righteous.
According to the false prophet Muhammad, it is incumbent upon every Muslim to avoid masturbation, because practicing it is in contradiction to the words of Allah, and because there are many harmful effects from masturbation.
Anything that is the truth in Islam has been stolen from the Bible. The reason I call Muhammad a false prophet is because he and Islam state JESUS is a mere prophet, when in reality, the entire Bible proclaims JESUS to be the Creator of Heaven and Earth, Emmanuel—“GOD with us” (Matt. 1:23). JESUS said, “I am Alpha and Omega [in other words, A to Z], the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the ALMIGHTY” (Rev. 1:8). “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto ME in Heaven and earth” (Matt. 28:18).
JESUS is the only member of the Godhead who has the image and likeness of GOD (Heb. 1:1-3). The book of Genesis, chapter one, regarding the FATHER, the SON, and HOLY SPIRIT, the TRIUNE GOD, states, “Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness” (Gen. 1:26).
The Bible says, “And HE is before all things, and by HIM all things consist” (Col. 1:17). All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3).
JESUS said, “I am the Way [to Heaven], the Truth, and the Life [eternal life]: no man cometh unto the FATHER [gets into Heaven], but by ME” (John 14:6). JESUS is the WORD of GOD. John 1:1 says “In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD.” Verse 14 says, “And the WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” GOD came into this world in the flesh of JESUS and dwelt among us, and we hid our faces from HIM (Isa. 53:3). Any religions or persons that say JESUS is merely a prophet are liars, and the truth is not in them (John 8:44). This is why GOD says, “Believe on the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).
The Book of Daniel tells us the exact day GOD would come to this earth as a man and the exact day HE would be crucified for all humanity (Dan. 9:25-26). JESUS fulfilled this and over 300 other prophecies to the letter. The 53rd chapter of Isaiah says the same thing (Isa. 53:5-12). “Believe on the LORD JESUS CHRIST [as your LORD and SAVIOR], and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31, John 3:16).
So, order my Messiah book, which tells of the over 300 prophecies of the first coming of GOD in the flesh to this world. This book, The Messiah, is absolutely free. To be saved, say this prayer:
Prayer
My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. 1 I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God. 2 I believe that He died on the cross and shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of all my sins. 3 I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit 4 and that He sits on the right hand of God at this moment, hearing my confession of sin and this prayer. 5 I open up the door of my heart and I invite You into my heart, Lord Jesus. 6 Wash all of my filthy sins away in the precious blood that You shed in my place on the cross at Calvary. 7 You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus, You will forgive my sins and save my soul. I know because Your Word, the Bible says so. 8 Your Word says that You will turn no one away, and that includes me. 9 Therefore, I know that You have heard me, and I know that You have answered me, and I know that I am saved. 10 And I thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul, and I will show my thankfulness by doing as You command and sin no more. 11
You've just completed the first step in a series of five steps which are necessary to receive salvation. Your second step is to deny yourself and take up your cross daily and follow JESUS for the purpose of mortifying your flesh, that is, for putting to death your own will, your soulful self, and the world with all of its lusts. All these must be baptized into the death of CHRIST.
Step three is your resurrection from the satanic life of Adam unto the sinless life of CHRIST. Step four is your ascension into a position of authority to reign for GOD with CHRIST on earth, and the fifth step is to reign for GOD in CHRIST on earth to the end for the purpose of bringing about the kingdom of Heaven on earth. You must learn the WORD of GOD, submit yourselves one to another, and do what the WORD says so that the church and the world may see evidence of your submission to GOD’S WORD, HIS order, and HIS authority in and by you. Praise the LORD. May GOD bless and reward you abundantly. Yours in the wonderful name of JESUS,
Praise the Lord. May God reward you abundantly.
