1 | Living together and not married (Part 2) | Bible general Archive 1 | JMR | 1702 | ||
It's pretty simple my friend. God gives each one of us knowledge and wisdom. With His gifts we are able to know right from wrong. His 10 Commandments give us a strong foundation. Living with your girlfriend would not be honoring her. Personally, I don't think it is appropriate to live with your girlfriend. You should marry her and honor her and God. If the Bible does not clearly answer any questions you may have, look to the Church for guidance. |

2 | Living together and not married (Part 2) | Bible general Archive 1 | Minister | 1719 | ||
Did you pray about it? Was you led by the Spirit? I would say No on the behalf of Jesus. Because the bible may not specifically say: You can't live together until you are married, but 1Cor. 6:18-20 "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which s in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in you spirit, which are God's. 1Cor.7:1-2 Now concerning the things whereof ye wroteunto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to AVOID fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every have her own husband. Are you having contact desires toward him and vis-versa? Do you sleep in the same bed? Are you and that person are having any type of phyical contact including (kissing)? Are you and that person are tempted to fornicate sometimes? Do you and that person see body parts that is not to be exposed until marriage? You see, God do not temp any man with evil, nor He can be tempted with evil. James 1:13 also 1Cor.1:28 We all have trouble in the flesh Hebrew 13:4 Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Why would God put you into a situation that you will be tempted. If you are not married then you and that person shouldn't be housing together. Some it's better to do that before marriage to see if you can get alone. A man find's a woman not a woman find's a man. 1Thes 5:22-23 Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be perserved BLAMELESS unto the coming of Lord Jesus Christ. If you are witnessing to some one you know and they ask you; Are you married? What will you say. They are thinking why this person is talking to about God and she/he is living with a boy/girl-friend. That's fornication. And You may not had intercourse with that person. Living unmarried under the same roof with your boy/gril-friend unorginized by God. He is not a man that he should lie and He's not the author of confusion. It is not specifically like that but if you study enough you will know the truth and the truth will set you FREE! God put marriages together not boy/girl-friends. The Word said the two shall be one flesh. And you are not legally one flesh. Eph 5:31 When a man leaves his parents he joines unto his "wife" not a girlfriend or vis-versa. Be a good example in every area not in certain areas. "Wholly" every area! Now remember this, Matt. 5:28 whosoever look upon a woman to lust, has aready committed adultry in his heart. That goes for the fornicators too. May God bless you with the knowledge and understanding of his word. any question my address is ministerhudson@hotmail.com here's a website www.blueletterbible.com or www.bible.com |

Greetings Rebeccak9! The Bible never really details the process of marriage. Marriage customs are detailed, but they differ from place to place and time to time. However, marriage is never described as just being a convenant between a man and a woman, and God. Rom. 13:1-5 tells us that Christians are to submit to the governing authorities that rule over us. So, when our government requires a marriage license, we must submit to that law. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Also, Hebrews 13:4 talks about the need to ensure that the marriage bed (and the marriage) is honourable. A careful review of the first marriage in human history shows that Adam and Eve were presented in front of the proper authority at the time, namely God. (Gen 2:22) We can therefore deduce from Rom 13:1 and this verse that it is appropriate in God's eyes for marriages to be shown proper honour by registration with the Authorities. |
