Bible Question: where in the bible will i find an examle of the ritual performed at a wedding |
Bible Answer: The rituals performed at a wedding vary according to the customs. Gen 29:22 shows an elaborate wedding. Gen 24:67 shows a marriage with no ceremony. Matt 22 and Matt 25 show different aspects of the 1st century marriage ceremony. God seems to allow all sorts of ceremonies. As for divorce, Pastor Glenn answered well. I might add 1 Cor 7. Three things free a person from a marriage, the death of the spouse, adultery, and an unbelieving spouse leaving. God does also allow for dangerous circumstances. 1 Cor 7:10 allows a person to leave when the other is violent, etc. In this case one must remain single or be reconciled. I went through this and it was a battle to accept staying single, but God is greater. Greentwiga |
