I do not honor any marriage by man.
I honor all marriages by God.
Romans 8:5Does God perform the marriage ceremony in Indonesia? Here in the US people, with God's authority and blessing, have always performed the marriage ceremony.
Romans 8:5
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

God judge between you and I.In other words you can't be bothered to rephrase your statement. So, it has no value.

Your concerns are not my concerns.
Now you know why I do not bother to converse with you.If you're just "blowing air" what's the point?
Now you know why I do not bother to converse with you.
I look to plant in good soil that will yield a blessing for the Lord.
I will pass that along to the Lord the next time I talk to Him.You just did converse with me with your reply. ;^)
When you write, "I look to plant in good soil that will yield a blessing for the Lord" does that include me or are you just contradicting your previous sentence?
hmmm, where have I seen that claim beforeThere is very, very strong evidence that it was in there originally, but that people offended by it kept taking it out.
Hi there,
I have come across an unusual position on marriage.
The claim is that scripture doesn't prescribe that marriage begins with a ceremony but rather cohabitation between seriously committed partners.
On the face of it would seem to have scriptural support considering Adam and Eve, Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah and Rachel, Ruth and Boaz etc.
Now I have had to face the issue of how to handle new converts previously unmarried and living together in a committed relationship - we would simply take them to the registry office and sign papers if they did not want to separate long enough to organize a wedding.
But if the scripture does not seem to make reference to God requiring a marriage ceremony then our insistence on one might be unjust.
Your thoughts on this are appreciated, fornication then would be unfaithfully violating a committed relationship.
We know that Jesus attended the wedding a Canna but we don't know if the participants were already cohabiting.
I need to say that such a position of defining marriage in this way does not sit well with me at all but mounting a scriptural argument to refute such a claim would be very helpful.
Where's the Biblical reference for trying to work it out without a ceremony of some type?
Rabbi Daniel Lapin encourages couples before dating talk on the phone for hours to get to know each other. This is without exchanging photos, etc
