Some 'marriage' ramblings...

[daverain]

.



What the 'church' requires, all depends on WHICH DENOMINATION you speak of.

In other words, there are MANY different teachings on marriage, among True Holy Spirit Filled Churches of God.

So...

(error IS everywhere)


My Beliefs (only because they're true) ,

is that NO CEREMONY is even required AT ALL (otherwise, 'the bible' would say that it WAS (=required).


Please consider Adam and Eve:


I don't know of ANY Christian who would NOT consider THEM
to have been married.

Yet there was NO 'ceremony' in any church needed by God'.

Also,

Jesus tells us: "Do NOT make ANY vows at all, but let your yes be yes, and your no be no."

(AND, NO this would NOT unbind a true-marriage if it happened.)

"...Everything else comes from the evil-one."

(in Matthew -I froget the verse number, sorry.)


(and YES, MANY True Christians, would even argue against this.)



If TRUE-LOVE exists, one IS 'bonded', and NEVER needs any vows.


Simply:
----------

God (spirit to spirit) marries a man-and-woman (who BOTH truly-love each other, -and NO one else-, using: sex.)


But..

One SHOULD wait UNTIL true-love exists BEFORE having sex.


SOME DO fall in love, and THEN 'break-up' , because they had sex while NOT yet in love.

They 'break-up'.

(although only -DEATH-, CAN -EVER- SEPERATE: TRUE-LOVE between a man and woman who've 'consumated')



However, I -feel- many Christians are wrong on certain issues involving marriage.

(Indeed, I feel that MOST Christians have been MISLED by 'false teachings' which are -ultimately- driven by money.)

<<Godly Ramblings part 2>>



(I was -easily- misled myself)


I must give these words of Christ which are SO important to consider:



"For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and the two WILL become one flesh."

"What therefore God has joined together, let no man..."

(=or his false teachings)

"...seperate."


(True-Love + Sex = joined


But they - NEED TO WAIT - until true-love exists,

or there WILL be problems -like extreme jealousy in the guy.


So (in my opinion only because it's true)...

(witnesses are NOT required, Church is NOT required -if it were, WHICH denomination? They ALL differ on marriage teachings, to me.

Also since Christ's sacrifie, Christians are no longer under the law, they are under the grace of Christ, we are NO LONGER forbidden to eat pork.

Christ fullfilled this, and HAS cleansed ALL foods.

We are also allowed to work on saturdays (Christ fullfills The Sabbath Command -one of the ten commandments-, He is FOREVER -MORE my Sabbath Rest)

And certain 'Old Covenant Commands' concerning marriage -like marrying ones brothers' wife if he dies, have been fulfilled in Christ.

Christians are under -The New Covenant- purchased with the shed-blood of The Lord Jesus Christ.

(And... YES many True Christians don't 'see' this, and so PUT OTHERS under The Law (=under a curse of bondage).

And...

Galations 3:10:
---------------------

"Anyone under the law IS UNDER A CURSE.

For CURSED is he who doesn't continue to KEEP ALL OF THE LAW."

(and NO-ONE -on earth- does, yet, but Christians WILL one day do this

(=The Last Day, be TOTALLY SINLESS.)


One More Thing:
-----------------------

The bible speaks that PEOPLE WILL -one day-, 'fall-away' from The Church, due to a worldwide-persecution-of-Christianity.

These are NOT Christians.

Christians DON'T 'fall away' from GOD, EVER.

"...NOTHING can seperate us (= True Christians),"


"from the Love of God."

-The Apostle Paul ( -God through him-, wrote many books of the bible, and had 'signs and wonders' following him -as with ALL of the apostles. =miracles.
..


Peace.
