So I'm getting worked up about nothing? It just seemed ominous to me because it was like, right after I asked about music, and somebody said that if God did not want rock in my life then He would take it out, or tell me to, possibly by making me lose my mp3. Is this just coincidence? Thanks again for all your help.

I was reading Ray's transcripts on Marriage because of my cousin promoting his polygamist lifestyle now... his wife sending out emails to the family saying how its ok to have bisexual relations within the confinements of a plural marriage and the the Bible says it's ok, etc. I never realized how delusional my cousin or his wife were regarding the Bible and what it states is acceptable within the eyes of God and what is not. His wife apparently thinks whatever her lusts of the flesh are, that God says in the Bible its ok... but anyway ... while looking up VA laws I ran across something I found interesting. Not only are there alot of Laws in VA regarding what you can and can not do sexually, there are Laws regarding marriage too. One of the older Laws in VA is that a unrelated Man and woman CANNOT live together unless they are married... actually it says co-habitat.
Ray refers to some guy talking bout marriage and they guy is accusing Ray of saying there are certain laws that he's not going to adhere to, etc and Ray says living together doesnt mean your married no matter what you want to think, and that there is no law that says it’s illegal for two people to live together without having a marriage license when actually in Virginia there is a Law on the books that says it's illegal. So if anything the VA Law proves Ray's points... as if there was any doubt that Ray was right all along and this guy he is referring to is wrong.
Way to go Ray! Just thought I'd share this little tidbit of knowledge.
“I can’t believe you would call that sinful living.
Maybe Babylon is right; we do need to have a physical circumcision and a physical water baptism and a physical wedding ritual etc… etc… etc… everything’s physical, it’s all physical. Perhaps even God’s law is physical and it matters not whether you truly love your wife or not, as long as you got that physical marriage license, you’re good to go. And there is no ‘law of the land’ that says it’s illegal for two people to live together without having a marriage license.” (Ray’s comment - Is there a law that says you can’t do that? That sounds good, I mean the guy is spouting off all this worldly wisdom. Of course I have a little statement in my notes here too: Likewise there’s no ‘law of the land’ that says when two people live together that they are LEGALLY husband and wife, either, is there. [What about common law?] It doesn’t, you can claim it sometimes, but the powers that be do not make you husband and wife. They do not.). “Maybe in the dark ages, and OT but not now, not in the U.S. nor Europe or any other civilized society. Perhaps in the middle east, but they’re still physically stoning people. So I wouldn’t want to follow that ‘law of the land’.”

Marriage by law is not "love" nor does it certify that two people "love" each other. Marriage is something that needs to be properly addressed but I'm afraid that is another tradition that is not going to go away easily. I am quite surprised at how many still adhere to the religious faslehoods related with marriage.

Mbwa,
Listen, if you think that God is telling you something by your having lost your mp3 player, then take that Idea and think about it for awhile. You know we all believe that God is in control of everything, so you are in a place right now where you will know how well you will do without the music, don't be hasty to replace the mp3 right away. Wait a week or so then if you seem to be ok with it and your not suffering withdrawals then go from there. You have to make up your mind what God is telling you. None of us know your heart, only God knows your heart. So it's back to the beginning for you! You now have a way to hear from God. He's giving you a chance to answer this question yourself.
Worrying is bad for your health! ;D
Kathy ;)
Mbwa:
Thanks Ninny. Actually, around the time I started this thread, I said that I would not listen to my mp3 for a week. I'm still doing fine, I might actually go longer just to prove to myself that I can, but the 'omen' had me worried there. ;D Oh yeah I worry all the time. I know it's bad...
