Subject: Is marrying for citizenship real? |
Bible Note: rodent tamer: As I read this post I felt like where in the world did anyone ever think legal marriage would not be binding with Gods Word? Has anyone read 1 Corinthians chapter 7 ????? I am most generally a very redemptive person. But, this just does not go down quite right in my spirit. Frankly there are many married people who have just been married by a justice or a court appointed clerk. Often a Pastor will be asked to marry the couple in church after they have found Jesus Christ. Does this mean the marriage is not binding with God? There have been couples who married in a hurry because the husband was in the service and had to go overseas right away, and the couple did not comsumate their union. Yet they are married. Even the law requires a divorce unless the marriage was anullified legally. When someone takes a vow or enteres a legal contract it's as binding no matter if neither or both or only one is a Christian. If the marriage was anulled or could be, why was it not done? I can not make it any more clear than to direct you to 1 Corinthians chapter 7. Your post is very disturbing for me. There just is something that just feels odd to me about your post. One thing that seems out of place is that you call her "girl", if she is old enough to get married once before, she is a woman. Is not "this man" you? And if so why do you refer to yourself as a third person? Your story has the flow and feel of spaghetti, too many loose ends, and they don't stick together. If I am wrong I ask your forgiveness. If my intuition is right then this would the response you are looking for. Justme |
