Without knowing that there was a pagan practice of doing this to conjure up favor from a false idol to bless their crops (but his original readers would know this) It is natural for you to think about what must be wrong about seething a goat in his mothers milk on some kind of moral level, but...

Google it. You should be able to come across some documentation that says that this was something that the pagans did to secure a good crop. Now you not knowing this may lead you to conclude that they did not know this but they did know about it. The people at the time it was written were...

Betrothal and the Wedding Until late in the Middle Ages, marriage consisted of two ceremonies that were marked by celebrations at two separate times, with an interval between. First came the betrothal [erusin]; and later, the wedding [nissuin]. At the betrothal the woman was legally married...

LOL. That is French for "He's taken" at least that is the way my old girl friend used to use it. Everytime I talked to another female, she was suddenly by my side saying "hello I'm his Fiance"

Eye contact is the best advice. Eventually you will train your eyes to not look at body parts. And when a woman tries to show off something like those horrible yoga pants, and you get an eyeful without trying to you will not have any temptation to take a second look because you will have...

Because the dietary laws were given to teach them separation from the idolatrous nations that surrounded them. They were to have nothing to do with these animals as a sign to these idolatrous neighbors who were using these animals in their sacrifices and idolatrous practices. It had nothing to...

Are we debating? If so then you must answer the question, Did you know that the rules of ending an engagement in 1st Century Jewish Culture required certain rules and included a writing similar to a writing of divorce? If you did not know this then this is nothing to be ashamed of, we all...

No, it required documented writing. You just have not read enough on this yet. Or you are being belligerent.

Yes, these and many other details are in the scriptures about biblical marriages.

If you say so. I imagine it as a family discussion at the very least. You imagine something else.

They will consider them married if they request and fill out the forms for common law, but not if they don't. No one is going to automatically enter you into any state records as married unless you request it. That is why when you break up with a girl who you lived with for 7 years and she...

Leaving Father and Mother and cleaving to the wife is a concise statement that suggest a public vow and probably included full participation of the family with contracts, witnesses (the parents) and celebration from the beginning. History suggests that it did.

Again, I am suggesting that you are not understanding the implications of, He shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife. You see it as a sex act. I believe there has always been more to it. That from the beginning there was some sort of a process that took place when the...

The vow, and contract, is right there before your eyes in the scriptures you are claiming and you are missing it. It is concise but nevertheless it is there. When the man left the authority of the parents and became the authority of his own household everyone bore witness to the transition...

Jesus did not say anything negative about these marriage traditions nor did he include them in his rebuke of the Pharisees methods of teaching traditions that ignored the commandments of God. Jesus used these marriage traditions it to teach truths about the Kingdom of God which suggests that...

Christ spoke about a wedding procession where friends of the Groom waited with burning lamps to join in a procession where the Groom would go into the wedding feast with a bunch of people and which was usually hosted by the Brides Father. So if you are going to used things Jesus said about...

You have already been shown that the biblical marriage included contracts, written documents and records stored in the Jewish Royal Court and included more ceremonies than even the western version of marriage. It seems that you are wanting to ignore history and written documentation found in...

You have to apply for common law marriage status from the court. Then it is made legal. There is no such thing as automatic. The legal process will recognize the couple who requests common law status but there is no such thing as being common law without the recognition from the state so you...

Have you ever met a Christian who lived with a person and said they were married in the eyes of the Lord and did not need a legal paper and then broke up, who then told people they were divorced? Ever? What does that tell you? They were lying to themselves and they know it. They don't try...

There are far too many couples living together in fornication and calling it "marriage in the eyes of the Lord" in our churches today. And not just apostate churches, but evangelical Spirit Filled Churches that do not believe that it is ok. These churches do not agree that such a thing...
