It took me a long time to learn this lesson about this forum, when someone ask you a biblical question, then we should seek a biblical answer. And we should seek and find what is true in the bible. If you simply state an opinion, most people know, "oh that's just her opinion". But when it comes to the bible, opinions aside, we need to know what the scripture says because in the end God's word is the most important. And if your opinions don't match God's word (and even if it does) the conversation will be long and people are going to make you go in depth into what you believe and if it is concise with scripture. And it forces you to know and understand what you believe and if you are willing to change your opinion based on what is scriptural.

What, you mean this evidence:


Your verses don't establish a difference between 'marriage in God's eyes' and legal marriage. The case indeed rests.


That is why through out Christian history people have chosen churches that link to the same churches started by the Apostles for they know that if truth is to survive it will be in these chruches and their history and tradition. Apostolic Succession comes to mind.

But for people to simply read scripture and try to descipher it according to their life without proper guidance... well, that is not the popular vote in Christianity.

Consider what Martin Luther wrote:
Martin Luther's sermon on the Feast of Saint Peter in 1516
“If Christ had not entrusted all power to one man,” Luther said, “the Church would not have been perfect because there would have been no order, and each one would have been able to say he was led by the Holy Spirit. This is what the heretics did, each one setting up his own principles. In this way as many churches arose as there were heads. Christ therefore wills, in order that all may be assembled in one unity, that His power be exercised by one man to whom also He has committed it. He has made this power so strong that He looses all the powers of hell (without injury) against it. He says, “The gates of hell shall not prevail against it;” as though He said, “They will fight against it but never overcome it,” so that in this way, it becomes manifest that this power is really from God and not from man. Consequently whoever breaks away from this unity and order of power, let him not boast of great enlightenment and wonderful works, as our Hussites and other heretics do, “for much better is obedience than the victims of fools who know not what evil they do.”

That's because you never read it. THAT VERSE DOES NOT EXIST!

No, not in any translation.

Thanks for threadjacking, dumbing down the thread, and not contributing anything based on scripture, history or culture.

Excuse me? That may be what you believe but there is no need to be so rude about it.

I am not insane, I am not a liar, I dont make things up to suit my argument or my opinion.

I CLEARLY remember reading it on Christmas Eve, I always flick through the bible to random passages on christmas e ve, and because I read so many I can never recall where tehy are located.

Apologies for having dodgy memory.
