You guys have been good sports. I learned a little from both of you.

I have been arguing from a strict position of biblical and legal theory, which, as you know does not always compute in the real world.

If I have a point in all this it is that the Bible has given us strict guidelines in our dealings in Marriage and with our government. God has ordained both institutions and while we have commandments to submit in marriage we also have commandments to submit to the rulings of the magistrates and rulers. Sometimes our own notions or right or wrong conflict with those commandments, but in those cases I think it is imperative that when we claim the biblical right to disobey those to whom God has placed us under submission, that we had better be right that what we are doing is, in fact, the will of God.

Thanks for the discussion, but if I keep posting here, I will soon join the ranks of the divorced.

Come visit the religion forum sometime.
