Sorry, but you are to leave your mother and father and cleave to your husband. You take his name. Biblicaly, that is to say. The picture is of Jesus the Bridegroom, and the church is the Bride. We have taken His name and are His only.
I agree with saving Terri, I just wanted to straighten that out. That is why study of the Word is paramount to understanding where our laws come from. If everything were still Biblicaly based, abortion would be murder, sodomy would be a crime against society, and a husband couldn't kill his wife. The mixture of old Biblical laws and new secular laws will never mix. Everything is skewed and mixed up. If we truly believed in Biblical marraige, we wouldn't even be discussing sodomites marrying. Satan will use anything to mess us up. Now we are suposed to believe killing babies and the old and infirm is an act of mercy. Don't it just warm your cockles thinkin about it? Don't break your leg or we will "put you out of our misery",....... for the children don't ya know.
