I am hoping that this is just kidding around, right??---
JM took that out of context just for sport, right?--He wasn't serious----Was he???!!!!
'cause, it is funny when you read it as "remnant MUST TAKE WIVES" as opposed to reading the whole sentence.
JM--please tell me that you're just fooling around and that you do understand she meant that the remnant (who do marry) must take spouses within the remnant---Please! Not too many of the remnant have a sense of "Homer" so it's hard to tell!!
Sunday sabbath--that's like an oxymoron, huh??
How can you be sure that you have provided the right question to the wrong answer???--Or did you just provide the wrong question to the right answer???

He is having a little fun at our expense...what he doesn't realize, apparently, is that I have not answered him, yet.

What I mean, is saying that a so-called remnant member having to choose between the remnant members might not only hold you back in life but might also be a little bit restrictive, I cannot believe that this was the will of God...

What do you see as restrictive?
How well do you think a marriage between two people with radically different religous convictions could be?

... or in other words its like a self-fulfilling prophecy like so many things, if you know what the outcome should look like you will restrict yourself to it. Imagine Ruth, she was part of the lineage of Jesus, and yet she wasnt part of the remnant from the beginning (I guess so...!!!). and yet her husband who was an israelite married her... on the other hand he could have "imported" a wife from Israel... same thing with the so-called remnant marriage... you never know the outcome, maybe you marry somebody, who is disinclined towards the SDA but has genuine love for you, and will join the SDA long after you have passed away, everythings possible...

It's very possible. You could marry a heathen woman who loves you, that might eventually join the church...or she could lead you away from it. Who's to say?

I agree to an extent, but I could also see how the bible warns us that the wrong spouse could be the one who is swayed. It depends on the person and where they are in their faith. Its a risk. I know from personal experience that it could make for some new unnecessary battles in life.

I wasnt exactly referring to heathen women... even though it should be possible as well... I was referring to women of the chrisitan faith be it baptists, methodists etc.
As a sidenote: I have known a couple of people who married SDA women... well... only to finally get a divorce... being an in the SDA doesnt tell anything about character and people from a different church can be much better people... I think it is the character of a person that we fall in love with (at best I guess) than some sort of church membership....

I really don't know what you mean. What does the "right one" mean? Is there only one "right one" for you of all the millions of potential spouses for you before you get married? Do only Adventists qualify, or do possiby other Christians possibly make the grade?
So do you believe Lutherans, for example, are brothers and sisters in Christ and worthy of your consideration for spouses, or not?

Well my initial response was in regards to people of the Christian faith. That's where you'd have a real disconnect. If your faith is how it ought to be, than it plays a critical role in how you live your life. If you meet someone else who is just as staunch as you in what they believe, you're looking to bring unncessary trouble into your relationship. Think of what you see on the General Theology board, now place that in a marriage...
Not a good look

You're missing the point. How good can a marriage be if there's no harmony. What happens when the Lutheran's teachings come into conflict with the Adventists? It's not like you cay say "God watch between me and thee while we're abscent one from another." You're married.
The two shall become one. This can't be if the two are not in agreement.
