Is is news to you that fornication is not a biblical word? That from the time of Genesis that marriages were formed by sexual unions. That the Hebrews did not have a word for wed or wedding. That there is no bibleical requirement for a wedding to be married. That the first documented Christian...

Hypotheticals live in a vacuum...they do not have to comply with reality or practicality. Always good to put such things in motion. So explain how you would handle a couple that comes to your church that had not had a wedding?

You are free to practice what is true.

If freedom is biblical truth....yes. In the meantime do not agree with false beliefs.....the correction of these things is the responsibility of every Christian. Conforming to false beliefs is never a good thing. This tolerance of the commandments of men is by nature something that multiply. As...

He did not have to say that the sun will rise in the morning.... This was how it was done since the time of Genesis and continued on until the 9th century and was not officially changed until the Protestants made it a requirement. A requirement for weddings, of which I support. But they cannot...

It is the preaching of false beliefs that are guilty of all of this. Why not solve the problem instead of building a religion on it and preach lies to people.

No consideration of false beliefs. Satan loves to play on lies. To accuse people according to false beliefs. The truth will set you free. The Christian conscience should be in tune with scriptures and truth, not the doctrines of men.

I have already explained this....you are not going to hear about grape juice in the Bible. The Protestant churches I attend, I worship the Lord with. I have not found any that are perfect. For one thing most include a lot of man-made sins and rules. Thus my ministry of planting seeds of truth.

Christianity is not about doing what you want. It is not about forming beliefs about non-biblical customs. It is not about adhering to false beliefs....it is a never ending trail of lies. Paul would never say to conform to non-biblical customs to be considerate of those that believed in false...

It is not that I do not agree with this...within reason. But the concept as an all encompassing belief would be an unworkable can of worms. Even concerning things that are biblical. but you cannot use a non-biblical custom to test someone's consideration. Again the truth makes for a better...

No it is a belief that is false. That is what need to be the concern. Correct the false belief and you will not have these problems.

All things in perspective. Concern and consideration....there were no churches back then like we have today. Back then a church was a congregation and there is no example of Christians discontinuing the Bread and Wine ritual because some one had a problem with wine. So then also weddings, there...

He could not recommend brain surgery either.

It is a good thing to have a wedding in the church and the reception in the church. But still the marriage is not finalized by a wedding. That is religious and legal and historical. The marriage was finalized as it was from the time of Genesis, when the couple joined. And that can happen before...

It is not meant for the worldwide control for the weaker. And drinking is not the only "stumbling block" people have, there are worse issues. No children in the church because of men that have a tendency to molest children? No money or jewelry in the church for people that that are...

Incorrect. Since no weddings were required, you are saying that no one was married...Even the example of Miriam and Joseph shows them as "engaged" when they were in Jerusalem and He would not "take" her as his wife until after Christ was born. The Bible gives zero requirements for wedding...

No I am not thinking....that you are silly enough to think that drinking is a sin..... but "Keep it out of the church!" Why? Because of wrong thinking? Sanctification and separation from the world. How do we do that and how should we do that? What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them...

In Egypt the marriage was finalized by the woman moving her possessions in.....In Judaism the marriage required the couple to live under the same roof LOL the lady was with his other possessions. the Samaritans were very similar in that regard. But it is not possible to track the Samarian...

The military is not for everybody and that is just the way it is. And it may not be your calling or the ministry that God wants for you....another purpose....but I do recommend finding that purpose and that ministry. And I do not begrudge those that do not have it within them to go into the...

There is no if ands or buts....it was a drinking culture. The Jews and Greco-Romans drank wine for a few reasons. Health being one. Centuries of wine drinking had proven somethings. Historically we know that regions that drank wine tended to be more healthy. What could be in an antient well...
