Agreed. The State should never be Sovereign in a true Marriage.
(The woman’s last name should be changed though.
Headship. I Cor 11)
It only decides if a marriage is legal or not, it doesn’t tell the Mormons and Muslims that their extra marriages don’t comply with their faith, only that they don’t meet the standards of legality in the law.
“The woman’s last name should be changed though.
Headship. I Cor 11”
Concur!
A very clear sign early on that
A-the man isn’t really following Jesus and she recognizes this
...or...
B- the woman is in rebellion to God’s order and cannot, or will not, submit to any man of God who loves and lives rightly.
I’ve walked away from relationships when that very topic was in conention. She wanted to be independent, or rule over, but I simply wanted the Biblical perspective.
Whenever I see people in the media where the husband and wife have different, or hyphenated last names, I already know some things.
Sadly, the world we lived in has changed and degraded so horribly. Society and social media has created created beta males who have no moral compass and therefore cannot be strong leaders. This has resulted in women having to reluctantly fill that empty void.
I remember, Chuck Smith asking; “if I pour the water out of this glass, what remains?”
The most common answer was; “nothing”
Not true!
Nature abhors a vacuum, so something must fill it.
AIR!
So too, when a man vacates his created leadership role through laziness, or sloth, or weak leadership, or whatever, it is left to the woman to fill that role.
And here we are today.
The decay of society.
Have a blessed evening.
May God’s Spirit be upon you as you rest and even more so tomorrow, in abundance.
