1 | License To Marry? | Rom 13:1 | DocTrinsograce | 130571 | ||
I agree with Tim. In an earlier post I said a person had to be ordained to marry people. I meant -- and should have said so more clearly -- according to the laws of our nation. (I personally get a bit miffed at the idea of a "license to marry." Who is the government that they grant license (i.e., give permission) regarding my decision to marry? The there are taxes... okay... sorry... I'll hush up!) :-) | ||||||
2 | License To Marry? | Rom 13:1 | Glory Bound | 130584 | ||
I never really thought of it before, and I really don't recall any mentions thereof in scripture, but If Moses gave a "writing of divorcement," and scripture makes at least 11 mentions thereof, might there not have been some sort of "writting of marriage"? I can understand the licensing of marriage today. IF IT WERE ACCORDING TO A REASON. Unfortunantly though, there seems to be little rational reasoning this day and time, concerning marriage, or much of anything else for that matter. GB |

3 | License To Marry? | Rom 13:1 | sincerebeliever | 130648 | ||
If God so joins a man and his wife together in a spiritual covenant relationship what "law" would say that they need a license. If it is not stated in the Bible then because of the seperation between the laws of God and the laws of the state why should be get a license? Some things are purely spiritual. There is no reason to ask the state's permission to marry. It is really none of their business the matters of God. Not in rebellion but if it is not in the Bible then why would we. I need to ask then--where does it say that a man and his wife "have to marry" according to the laws of the state? I don't think that there is even a law. If it was simple--like the state says that you "have" to marry then that would be something we should do in obedience to the laws of the land. But the state DOES NOT SAY THAT. I did numerous topical studies and NO WHERE DOES IT SAY IN THE BIBLE THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A LICENSE TO MARRY. It just says that whoever God so joins let no man put asunder. Asunder means to not allow any person to have authority over you in the matters of God and the heart--except for God. | ||||||
4 | License To Marry? | Rom 13:1 | Glory Bound | 130670 | ||
I'm not familiar with the statistics, but I would ask. how many marriage licenses "between a man and a woman" are regularly refused? Gods word doesn't say "THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A LICENSE TO MARRY", but it does tell us to adhere to the laws of the land. Whether you, or I like or understand the law or not, is of no consequence. You state: "It just says that whoever God so joins let no man put asunder. Asunder means to not allow any person to have authority over you in the matters of God and the heart--except for God. " I would suggest you look up the word "asunder" before you make any more statements concerning its meaning. Word for word, a simple dictionary will cover a ton of ignorance. Concerning scripture one must keep in mind that "precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little", that they may join "them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts" If you do not understand my statement and quotations from scripture, you would be well advised to invest in a good dictionary.
