Bible Question:
Where in Gods word does it show that a priest/pastor is to over see the exchanging of vows to become married? My understanding is that marriage is a covenant between God,man,and a woman. In the book of Liviticus,it lists the duties of the priests,no where do i find that overseeing a marriage is one of there duties.I feel that if this was important to God that a priest was needed for a man and a woman to be married he surly would of wrote this in his word for us to obey and follow.I feel that when a man takes a woman to be his wife that he has at that point become married to this woman because he has made covenant with her and God that this is his choice and from that moment they are husband and wife in Gods eyes. |
Bible Answer: tnk, I do not know about other churches, but in the Ctaholic Church, the actual ministers of the Sacrament of Matrimony are the man and woman marrying one another. The priest of deacon is merely the offcial witness of the Church to this marriage covenant sacrament. Emmaus |
