Religion, moral and values.

I remember an article like that. Let me try and look it up.

EDIT: Found it.

That's the one IIRC, puts a very different perspective on things here and in the middle-east.

Ten bucks says Rhy got a hawt threesome after some heavy drinking saturday night, and now tries to justify his actions.

It's becuase he's getting swole!

lol, but no. I was just thinking about this when reading Genesis, and I wondered how much of what we think of as marriage is Biblical.

We make marriage into a fancy and legalistic ceremony - things, which, as a crazed Protestant, I do not like. Because these things are always unscriptural, or an attempt to undo the Gospel by returning us to the bondage of the Judaic law.

So, how much of our idea of marriage is Biblical? Well, first off, the union of one man and woman is a creation ordinance, and as such something natural to the condition of mankind. The marriage ceremony, on the other hand, is not. There is absolutely no need to be married by a priest/minister, no Biblical precedent. When was Adam 'married' to Eve? Well the answer is found in Genesis which made me think about this, because when Isaac is considered to have become married to Rebekah when he took her into his tent.

Obviously sleeping with someone in itself doesn't mean you are married and meant for each other for the rest of your lives... but if you do it with the intent of staying with that person then that is what marriage is all about... not fancy ceremonies which are unbiblical and more cultural than anything. And when they cost thosuands of pounds nowadays, I think people can live together before becoming officially married.
