Subject: Intermarriage |
Bible Note: Steve, After Israel returns from exile, the is never another account of them falling into idol worship or polytheism. I am sure that those who took wives were well aware of what they were doing, and were fully commited to Yahweh when they married. Also, Do you have anything to say about the divorce that was "commanded" or the fact that God never has a problem with people marrying Gentiles as long as they remain faithful to him? |
