Bible Question: Does God say anything about honoring your Father by placing him in the position of giving his only daughter away when she gets married? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Krystyk... No, the Scripture doesn't speak to this question. The Western practice of the daughter being "given away" by her father was fashioned over the years by Christians providing a picture of Christ and the church. The officiating pastor or priest represents the God the Father, the groom represents God the Son, the father of the bride represents the drawing Holy Spirit, and the bride represents the church (God's "called out" ones). In Him, Doc |
