Subject: License To Marry? |
Bible Note: I'm not familiar with the statistics, but I would ask. how many marriage licenses "between a man and a woman" are regularly refused? Gods word doesn't say "THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A LICENSE TO MARRY", but it does tell us to adhere to the laws of the land. Whether you, or I like or understand the law or not, is of no consequence. You state: "It just says that whoever God so joins let no man put asunder. Asunder means to not allow any person to have authority over you in the matters of God and the heart--except for God. " I would suggest you look up the word "asunder" before you make any more statements concerning its meaning. Word for word, a simple dictionary will cover a ton of ignorance. Concerning scripture one must keep in mind that "precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little", that they may join "them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts" If you do not understand my statement and quotations from scripture, you would be well advised to invest in a good dictionary.
