wanting to take vows... till marriage is possible
loretta:
tks for the link, JfK.
I had been pondering the matter for some time now. Most of us on the forum are lone rangers, our kids are unchurched. So who will marry (preside over) them? What about the singles in our club? Will they have to fly out the minister ? :)
I'm guessing though that the state marriage licence is valid in God's eyes. We could follow it up with a wedding party though its not the custom in my part of the world. The church wedding/nuptial is, both among the catholics and evangelicals. But we're (the Elect) left out in the cold. Infact it is this fear that keeps people towing the church line, even though they're convinced otherwise.

I want to say a special thanks to everyone who has posted about this topic. The link to Feb. 2007 Bible Study ... WHAT IS MARRIAGE?....My husband and I read the whole article, and feel more confident about this topic. How He would have us to operate with our grown children... is still the part we will need to work out. He's better at enforcing 'rules' than I am... it's very hard for me,especially when you've already gone along with the program. Just keep praying that God will continue to work His will in all our hearts and lives. I appreciate the personal testimonies too of those who struggle with similar situations. LU ALL so much!!!

Tks for that lovely post JfK. It just set me free in my heart to enjoy the broad, sunlit uplands of life .:)
I was baptised and confirmed in the catholic church, and dreamed of that "fairytale wedding" as every young lady does, but it never happened :(. So I guess my daughters will have the kind of wedding that God wills for them.

Why was I not cut to pieces because of what I said in my post in this thread?

I asked because what I said goes against what Ray said about the subject.
