*shrug* -- Call it an excuse if you will, but to do so ignores the reality that legally marriage is both an unequal yoking and perpetrated by judges (as most divorce courts deny the right to a trial jury) who have, by their actions, proven that they are not just.
As for me, God's helped me stay abstinent to the present day.
My wife and I will be celebrating our 30th anniversary.
Congrats.
We both RTFM.
I like the unsubtle implication that I don't simply because of my lack of marital status and for understanding some of the reasoning as to why marriage is so risky.
“Who do you think defined Natural Law?”
Well, “Natural Law” is a concept created by men, the phrase is never mentioned by Christ or the prophets. Of course God ordered the universe, but there is no “natural” order or “direction” that people need to get married, so it’s still a dead end argument for you.
“Nope:
Mark 3:29”
Mark 3:29 does not say what your post said. The Bible leaves “blaphemy against the Holy Spirit” undefined. Your post was man-made doctrine.
Christ is clear about the conditions under which two are to be joined together as one.
Liberal culture is festooned with examples of how ignoring His directions works out.
Abortions, STDs, single “parents” - etc etc.
But hey, go ahead - eat it - you can be “just like God” and make up your own rules... until the due penalties kick in.
Not just lesbians and feminists and old maids.
Hypergamy is everywhere and the feminine imperative has done so much the last 50-60 years to entrench it and demonize anything male positive.
I guess you wouldn't, unless your children were of that cohort. Which mine are.
“You seem to confuse the term adultery (marital infidelity) with premarital sex.
The former is indeed a sin. The latter isnt.”
According to Roman Catholic teaching, BOTH are Mortal sins, condemning one to Hell for all eternity, although the adultery may be worse, since it violates the marriage covenant and threatens the family structure.
Luke 17:1
17
Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come.NIV
Good luck with that.
>>but there is no natural order or direction that people need to get married, so its still a dead end argument for you.
Are the Natural Due Penalties associated with sexual perversion, articulated in Romans chapter 1 a “dead end”?
Good luck with that!
Can’t watch the videos right now but will later.
I love Dennis’s wisdom on many issues but when things go south in his
Marriages he trades up. So he really has no authority on sticking to one
wife.
>>I like the unsubtle implication that I don’t
The implications in a self-destructive hedonistic culture whose fitness is declining are self-evident.
>>why marriage is so risky.
Nah, risky is ignoring the care and maintenance manual that came with the species and doing things your own way - as described in Romans chapter 1.
Got Due Penalties?
LOL — I’ve said nothing at all about sleeping around in this thread, and even revealed my own abstinence, so why are you bringing STDs up with me?
SMH.
The thread is about cultural trends.
Just find a woman that hates you, buy her a house, then give her half your pay until she thinks it’s enough.
True, but really funny.
>>why marriage is so risky.
Awe boohoo.
What isn’t RISKY to this generation of whining woosies?
“Millenials” — the grand children of the demoralized 1968 super geniuses whose big plan over the last 8 years was to recreate 1968, think it’s “risky” to commit and honor their promises.
Multiple generations of Republic-looting FAIL!
What a big surprise. NOT.
It all started in the ww2 generation. Have you ever heard of key parties? They were a part of the military in the 50s.
Meanwhile, while emasculated Millenial woosies are whimpering and making excuses...
