Again, you are in error. Matthew 22:1-14 is a biblical requirement. We are told to follow Jesus. I am assuming or hoping you believe at least those kinds of verses in the Bible that tell us to follow Jesus. For we are to conform to the image of Jesus Christ. The Parable of the Wedding Banquet is a picture of what is to come in regards to Jesus marrying His bride (the church) that would be us. It shows a marriage ceremony (Whether you like it or not). So if the Lord is our example in having a wedding, then we must follow that same example as a part of the New Covenant. It does not matter what the Jews did. What matters is following the ultimate or head Jew who is Jesus Christ (The Creator and Savior of all). To deny this is to deny what our Lord does and to refuse to imitate Him.
You just appear to want to do your own kind of thing that is good and right in your own eyes.
This is the difference between us. You look to outside sources to build your faith. I look to the Bible alone to build my faith.
For faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
Your thinking is still wrong. We are not under the Old Covenant or Old Testament. We are New Covenant believers, and the parable is teaching clearly the wedding of the Lord Jesus with His church. If you are a part of the church, you will seek to want to follow in being married to Him (ceremony and all).
For example: The Old Testament had a physical temple. This pointed to the Heavenly temple in God’s Kingdom.
Again, your focus and mindset is wrong. Don’t look to man made history to build your faith. Men can lie. God cannot. Look to God’s Word to build your faith.
I have already explained all this. The reader can look it up. Although the Protestants decision to make wedding ceremonies a requirement for marriages was the right thing to do and I support it completely.....it does not have any biblical support as a requirement.
You seem to have a affection for false beliefs and do not want others to know the truth.
You are always going to fail in the face of truth. Lies are complicated because once you lie you have to continue to lie to cover for the first.
Where as truths make sense and are congruent with other scriptures and even help bring clarity to other scriptures.
