Common Law

not obey the laws of our country is sinful, not obtaining amarriage license before scalling yourself married is not legal, therefore sinful, living together without being married is sinful.
not an attempt at anything, just a realization that you'll never care about scripture if you support the murder of children.

 

Marriage is the law of the state, not a federal law. Again, in Colorado, no license is required. THAT is the law, whether or not you personally agree with it. Kentucky law is not the law of our country. It's a big world out there.

 

when a person makes a statment and you say you do not beleive their statement (you do not beleive it is true) you have called them a liar. when people are told it doesn't apply here then they refused to recognized the other states common law mariage. here shacking up people do not have legal rights of married people.

 

I don't live in colorado, so it does not apply to me.

 

Then don't say what is legal in "our country". Your self righteousness over what is legal stinks.

 

i noticed that the states list of requirements for common law marriage, none require that the two parties be of the opposite sex.

i keep saying in ky, you all keep saying colorado, i simply stated i do not live in colorado, so i have no expereince with colorado, i do however live in ky and have for 30 yeears and have seen it happen exactly the way you claim it can not. i know what is legal in my state, no self righteousness involved, just knowing my state.
your self righteousness runs out all over the place, on all topics, you use it to defend all manner of evil pratices.

 

tell it to the courts then

 

good grief, you expect me to memorize case numbers, thats pitiful. as i said i do not care if you ever beleive a single word i say, means nothing to me if you do not, it is not my life's goal to make aaron believe me. then i'd be the pitiful one. beleive it or not you are not the focus of my life, nor will i ever allow you to be, you presume far too much of your value to me that i should seek to satify you on this board and hope you beleive me, again, thats pitiful, nope, i take it back, thats pretty pitiful.

 

Mark it on the calendar...

I agree with Aaron.

 

Yeah, me too. Scary, isn't it? :smilewinkgrin:

 

What's scary is that I agree with Aaron and MP at the same time. Is that possible?

The end must be near...

Just curious here...

Show scripture supporting a wedding ceremony.

 

John 2:1-10; Matthew 25:1-10.

 

The wedding at Cana is where Jesus performed his first miracle, and I think that is signifcant in light of what marriage signifies in the Bible - Christ and his bride, the Church.

Jesus told at least a couple of parables about wedding guests. Jesus came form the Jewish tradition which had elaborate and specific ways of doing engagement and marriage, including a ceremony. It seems that if one is given the choice, a believer would choose a wedding ceremony over just shacking up and calling it marriage.

 

I think I'll start a poll. It seems that at least 4 of you - Aaron, Spinach, Tiny Tim, and MP are okay with a couple living together in common law marriage.
