26 As it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.
27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.
Well, this is weighing on my mind. Someone on the forum (I will not name names) pointed the bolded part out to me by PM. I then discussed this with an attorney at my work (because he is an member/elder in the Mormon church - and he's super cool and easy to talk to). I said, Dan, you know, someone told me on my bible study forum what "they were given in marriage" means. Gay marriage, since it is well established that only a woman can be given in marriage, but now with the passage of the gay marriage laws men are also given in marriage.
He goes, yeah, and smiled. I said, soooo you've known about this -- you heard about this before I mentioned it to you just now? And he goes, yeah, for about 5 years now.
I was blown away. Again, I know this isn't something that Ray specifically taught or mentioned but it has been weighing on my mind a lot lately --- that while we can't know the exact day or the hour, Jesus gave signs of the times so we can be watching. I know that Christ's words are spirit, but it must mean that in the days of Naoh in the land of Sodom, men were marrying each other and therefore being given in marriage. (Not to harp on the gay marriage thing.)
What are your thoughts, BT family?
