<p>Well I'm going to fall back on what you mentioned "obey the laws of the land". Which as has been pointed out....which land? I think this is such a great topic to read after having just watched an old episode of "Full House" where 8th grader DJ is married to <span class="st">Sylvio</span> when she agrees to walk around the table with him without realizing the Pompadorian customs of marriage, and without Sylvio realizing the American customs of restraining orders. LOL</p>

<p>But one point I considered that I hadn't seen mentioned...</p>
<p></p>
<p>Since Jesus attended a wedding, we know wedding ceremonies took place then. And if we're to fall back to baptism beliefs being the outward showing of our confession...what then can we call a marriage? </p>
<p></p>
<p>So if we can, but won't, outwardly show our confession to the one we profess is our spouse, have we really accepted them as our spouse or just giving lip service?</p> I actually don't know if I ca…tag:www.allaboutgod.net,2015-05-11:1383940:Comment:16301752015-05-11T18:45:55.348ZZachary James Gotthttp://www.allaboutgod.net/profile/ZacharyJamesGott
<p>I actually don't know if I can agree with the Bible verse about being subject to the governing authorities. The passage makes the generalization that governing authorities are always good and just. Maybe I'm leaning on my own understanding too much but I can't really agree with something blatantly incorrect. Maybe that's my weakness, maybe that's my strength.

<p>I actually don't know if I can agree with the Bible verse about being subject to the governing authorities. The passage makes the generalization that governing authorities are always good and just. Maybe I'm leaning on my own understanding too much but I can't really agree with something blatantly incorrect. Maybe that's my weakness, maybe that's my strength. There are many instances where rules could be considered unjust. Or when entire governing authorities could be unjust such as Nazi Germany, Russia and really most of them throughout history. I have faith in God, but I know how easily men are corrupted, especially in this time.</p>
<p>I do however acknowledge that having order makes it easier to be righteous, harder to be sinful, and safer for everyone. That is the real interpretation I get out of the bible verse. That we must all be supportive of our governing authorities and not seek to cause chaos through disobedience. Not that we need to be obedient to each and every law regardless of whether we think it's just.</p> I thought so as welltag:www.allaboutgod.net,2015-05-06:1383940:Comment:16291462015-05-06T00:55:02.849ZTammyhttp://www.allaboutgod.net/profile/TammyHenson

<p>Watchman,</p>
<p></p>
<p>True. Ephesians 6:12 helps explain a lot in our world today as well when we look back over history. When we couple that truth with the reality that there are two basic kinds of people on earth (regenerate and unregenerate) we get a clearer picture regarding why the world seems to be such a mess ....</p>

<p>It is odd, but I do believe it is another way to assault the Church of Christ<strong>.</strong> I believe that there are very specific ways in which those who want to dissolve the Church will choose to make a way to promote their various activities, but please remember the verse below. The whole world is under the sway of the evil one. </p>
<p>But then again, we are offered these words:</p>

<p>Here is something I read last night while writing my Bible Study on Jacob & Joseph. I found it really really interesting as well. </p>
<p>I have been writing a Bible study on Jacodiscovered something new. </p>
<p>The <i>ketubah</i> (lit., “written document”) is the Jewish marriage contract. Written in Aramaic, it sets forth in detail the financial obligations that a husband undertakes toward his wife as her inheritance should he die or as her alimony should he divorce her. If either of these events occurred, the woman would have money and resources of her own and not be made destitute without any financial support. Today, a standardized <i>ketubah</i>is read before the bridegroom and two witnesses and signed by them. The witnesses may not be relatives of the bride or groom. This is consistent with the general rule in Jewish jurisprudence that a witness must not be related to the parties involved, an extension to civil law from the biblical prohibition against a father being put to death on the testimony of his son (Deut. 24:16).</p>
<p>Just as the bridegroom is forbidden to cohabit with his bride after marriage unless he has written and delivered the <i>ketubah</i> to her, so the husband is forbidden to live with his wife for even one hour if she no longer has it in her possession<strong>.</strong> Therefore, if the <i>ketubah</i> is lost or destroyed, the husband is obliged to write a new one with the same terms as in the original. Thus, when the Jews were expelled from France in 1306 and robbed of all their possessions, Rashba ordered that his followers refrain from conjugal relations until every man gave his wife a replacement <i>ketubah</i>.</p>
<p>The Rabbis viewed the <i>ketubah</i> as an important deterrent to rash and irrational divorces by ensuring the financial integrity of the economically vulnerable woman. After the edict of Rabbenu Gershom requiring that the wife must consent to a divorce, the function of the <i>ketubah</i> became more psychological than legal. At a time when most marriages were arranged based on family background, class, and learning and involved prospective spouses and families who scarcely were acquainted with each other, the <i>ketubah</i> was a testimony to the honorable intentions and worthiness of the husband. Today, the <i>ketubah</i> represents the covenant of the couple’s marriage and their new household.</p>
<p>After the deceit & trickery of Laban in giving Jacob his oldest daughter Leah instead of Rachel, the <i>ketubah </i>had to be signed before the ceremony. <span>Because of this little mix-up, Jewish tradition dictates that the marriage contract, or the Ketubah, be signed </span><i>before</i><span> the wedding - not afterward. Jewish men check out that bride </span><i>before</i><span> they go down the aisle. Christian tradition says that it is bad luck to see the bride before the weeding. But Jewish men </span><i>insist</i><span> on seeing her! This accomplishes two things. First, it protects the husband from this kind of deception, and secondly, it protects the wife’s rights during the marriage and in case she is divorced or widowed. It is forbidden for Jewish couples to live together without a it. If the Ketubah is lost, a new one must be written. It has become traditional, since at least the fourteenth century, to decorate the Ketubah as artwork and hang it in the home as a keepsake. As it says here, it is a tradition, not a requirement. Since this is only tradition, I'm guessing it's not a 'have to'. It does come down through the Chosen so it's an example but again, it's not in the Word that it has to be done. </span></p> hahahaha girl.
