That is, if your pastor is allowed to administrate official state weddings, he is not allowed to also administrate 'unofficial' weddings. At least, that's what I heard from a Virginian man whose son did not want to get a marriage license but convinced his pastor to go 'rogue.'Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657160848405432116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-816892610301902452013-03-17T05:57:37.294-07:002013-03-17T05:57:37.294-07:00great Meatloaf reference, which in and of itself i...great Meatloaf reference, which in and of itself is an example of the destruction of marriage (the song that is, not the reference).

It's a strange thing but completely unconsidered because it is in the air we breath practically, but doesn't 1 Cor. 6 establish that Christians should NOT allow civil family law courts and civil law to structure their lives? <br /><br />If this is the case, why should Christians be involved in civil marriage? Do any of us believe that the state actually joins two people together? If not, let people be married in their churches but ultimately the decision to file the paperwork with the state would be a conscience issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-22183400732605331742013-03-16T15:25:47.902-07:002013-03-16T15:25:47.902-07:00So, wait, where do you stand on gay marriage?!

In 1996, only 25% of the American public supported same-sex marriage. That "conservative" Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage act. Now it looks like Romney was the last even president who would ever do that. I think we need to concede that we are losing in America...badly...and how our kids are going to cope in 20 years time from now. Because things are really going downhill fast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
