Bible Note: Sordman007:yes "marriage with out legal paper work" is wrong! Boy I have hear this many time by couples wanting just a religious wedding, but not on paper. That's pure Missouri, Mule dung! If the man dies after living and having children with this woman, who did not think a "piece of paper" was important, the "wife? and children would get NOTHING. No Social Security or help as they should. This arrangement may be fun for the man, as he can walk off and live with someone else at anytime! Where is the certificate of divorce here? Did not even Moses address this "putting away"? Jesus said who ever sends away (puts away) his wife and someone else marries her, she becomes an a forniacator. Don, you are twisting scriptures! As I asked before show me a verse that gives God's approval for plural wifes! There is none! Now you have taken it even further by saying living together is a Biblical marriage? Don, take off your blinders. How does the world view this any different than from what is more commonly called "playing house"? Don, I care enough to say, you are in left field and the ball game ended a long time ago. These aguements were popular in the early 18 hundreds. These justifications were not valid then, and there still not valid or acceptable now. A Christian is to be above reproch, and this is below civilized standards. Surely you are not so unothrodox as to see this is a seriously afront to basic Christian wisdom and ethics? Think on these. I look to hear again from you. justme |
