    A debate on when the "One Flesh" union occurs, it's effects, and meaning.

    In this debate, I will attempt to prove that while fornication is a sin, it does not necessarily equate to a union of the flesh and what does achieve that union is the irreversible transfer of genetic materiel, its efficacy, and its consequences.

    Prayer for my marriage

    I am struggling in my marriage. If someone really needs details, I guess I can provide them. But I do not want to get into a blaming thing. I will say that my wife is dealing with a lot of problems, and has been for quite a while, and is quite often very mean, angry, and verbally abusive. She...

    I understand you go to hell for cheating on your spouse. Therefore if I decided to never get legally married, would that ensure I go to heaven? I'm concerned that I am about to get married and getting married will cause me to go to hell when I cheat on my spouse? I probably have a good 60...
