Subject: Married by church and not state? |
Bible Note: Dalcent, I don't view a marriage as being inherently dependent upon money, although some would view monetary wealth, as the basis for a successful marriage. Although the scripture necessitates a couple to be married, if they wish to build a family together, I'm not aware of any verse where state legal authorization is additionally required for marriage validation. I don't believe that the bible actually teaches such a thing. It's simply yet another popular religios myth, without a shred of scripture to back it up. - Blessings, Reighnskye |
