Bible Note: Dear Don, Greetings in the name of Jesus! "Legal" marriage IS an issue! :-) I can't help but think the examples you refer to sound like one guy with several live-in, single-working-parent girlfriends and one girlfriend running a day-care center. :-) This would make a great sit-com! (but I don't watch inane sit-coms) Come to think of it, it sounds even more like a commune cult with one 'leader' ruling over a harem of acolytes. :-) Don, it was nice chatting with you on this one. I will leave the thread with a chuckle. I'm just a simple-minded fellow with a lot of 'ingrained bigotries,' and very happy with one wife and family. Perhaps God will agree with you on this one, or more likely, His grace will be applied to those who are 'sincere' in their social mores. Blessings and peace in Christ Jesus, charis |
