    Does NOT mean in a salvation way. its that God presense in the family thru one of the Spouses brings God into family, and THAT makes it "Holy unto the Lord" Refering to presense/influence of God, NOT personal salvation!

    Amy the Cor. passage is not dealing with salvation. It is dealing with whether or not the marriage is valid in the site of God when a saved person is married to a lost person and Paul is seeking to convince the married partner to remain with the lost partner. If a child, any child, is born illegitimate salvation does not change that.

    It means that God honors the marriage and the person is to remain with the lost person if the lost person so desires.

    NO child is illegitimate IF the parents have been officially married by recognized authority!

    AS ALL marriages are held as being valid by God!

    Sigh. I KNOW that! My point was to try and get Fal to see that his interpretation is not correct. If a child is unclean because his parents are unsaved, then he is still unclean even if he gets saved. Which of course is ridiculous.

    What Paul is saying (I believe) is that unsaved parents do make the children unclean because marriage is sanctified by God. Therefore the children are not unclean or illegitimate. I think he was most likely addressing the Christian Jews because of his use of clean and unclean, which Gentiles would not have understood.

    Having said that, I'm done. This thread is giving me a headache. :BangHead:

    Amy your headache is because you are trying to argue apples and oranges. The passage is not dealing with salvation. It is dealing with a saved person remaining with a lost partner and if God sees the union as a marriage. Just stay within the context of the passage and your headache will go away.

    I'm a little late to the party on this thread, and with almost 10 pages so far it looks like its about to wind down anyways. But I read this recently and thought I would share.

    the authority would be what each culture has deemed as having the authority to do such...

    Do you think ONLY marriages done in Church by a baptist pastor qualify as legit?
