Bible Note: Justme, You accuse others of being "unsensitive"; yet you insinuate that nana's very real situation and question is not a "real bible question". What is wrong with you? Furthermore, you offer not a bit of Scripture to support your "opinion". Again, what is wrong brother? Have we touched on a point of sensitivity for you? Where you do point to Scripture you offer no book, chapter, and verse for reference. I am not aware of a custom where marriage was "made official by the groom showing the blood on the sheets in the OT, when the marriage was consumated". Will you please point me to that custom in the bible? I am not an authority on the bible, it may in fact be there; but I do not find that custom anywhere including in the many dictionaries, encyclopedias, and commentaries I referred to. You wrote: "I think it is very unsensitive, and so legalistic to say this person should remain with a person who commited fraud in not telling their furture partner of his inability before taking any vows" sometimes the word of God seems that way to us. We easily forget that His holiness is not superseded by our sensitivities. When we do not fear God, then our feelings about what is right and wrong and what we want and don't want become our standard. We excuse our way out of obedience. You write that you are saddened. Well my brother, I am very saddened and disappointed at your post. Your profile indicates that you are of an age that should supersede such a childish response. With deepest sincerety, Jeff |
