I'M LIVING WITH A WOMAN
iris:
This is what God's word says...
1 Timothy 2:1,2,3,4
1 I exhort therfore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For Kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all goddliness and honesty.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our savior;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
Hebrews 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversations.
Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves.
Bobby, God loves everyone, even those who live in KENTUCKY!!! :-* :-* :-*

Seek and Find:
Ask yourself this is there any society from the past to the present that does not have a marriage ceremony. Angels are created spirit beings, what can men do that angels can’t (procreate) we (man) will be born spirits (born again) we will be born into God’s family so God says “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. (who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did. Our Father gave us (man) a special blessing to be able to have children so that God could create a family through man born not just created as angels. To have a wife you have to be married.
Genesis 2
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
12 Proverbs 14
There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.
Proverbs 16
25 There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.
Proverbs 21
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
But the LORD weighs the hearts.
3 To do righteousness and justice
Is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
Isaiah 53
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
Peace in Christ

These scriptures are what is taught in God's Word.
Heb 13:4 Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
1Co 7:2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
It is used to compare what Christ will have with the elect, that would show a very positive asspect of marriage.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, His body, and is Himself its Savior.
Jesus spoke about divorce on a no. of occasions, and condemed it, except for adultery, but He says a man should leave his parents and cleave to his wife. It seems Jesus is for marriage.
So I think you should do what is necessary to be considers husband and wife, to be in accordance with the will of God.
Mat 19:4 He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,
Mat 19:5 and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh'?
Mat 19:6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
Mat 19:7 They said to him, "Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?"
Mat 19:8 He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
Mat 19:9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery."
Just my way of looking at this.
mercy, peace, and love

"Us Fife's are wiry"
hillsbororiver:
Craig alluded to John Chapter 4 in his post on this thread in that Jesus differentiated, made a distinction between "living with a man" and a husband;
Joh 4:16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Joh 4:17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
Joh 4:18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
These are the Words of the Lord, not my own.
Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things. And thus let the marriage bed be undefiled (kept undishonored); for God will judge and punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and adulterous.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe
