A man who wants to take my daughter for a test drive ought to remember I have a shotgun, a shovel and a large backyard...
Fornication - the old word for shacking up - is a good deal for guys and a terrible one for girls. And in the long run, it is good for neither the guy, the girl, or society. God is not mocked.
But then, I tend to think Obama is God’s judgment on our society...and figure we have no right to call God unjust. A society that rejects Him will get what it deserves.
“19Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
- Galatians 5
I often have similar thoughts.
And in the long run, it is good for neither the guy, the girl, or society. God is not mocked.
You’re right it’s not about what society accepts, it’s about what God accepts.
Good news is that you can vote Obama out come next year.
shotgun, shovel, and a large backyard. LOL I spit out my soda when I read that.
In this case, and only this case, I can see why they lived together first. Remember, William saw the wicked press practically chase his mom right into the the casket. From everything I’ve read of William, he’s been very protective of his Kate, worried about her safety and well-being. It’s perfectly natural for him to want her to experience that kind of scrutiny for a long period of time, to ensure that she was able to tolerate that. Evidently, he told her she was “the one” way back in 2007 or so. I can find no evidence that he was simply using Kate (i.e. the cow/milk analogy). I don’t think he was taking a “test drive” of her body parts, so much as he was her sturdiness. That is normally where the criticism of shacking up comes from; it’s for a guy to take advantage of a gal and avoid the responsibility of marriage. This sounds to me more like he wanted to make sure she’d be willing to put up with the crap that would go along with being married to him.
OTOH, had Diana lived with Mr. Global Warming for a couple of years first, she might have realized that he never did cut off things with Cruella, and saved herself years of heartbreak.
I wish these two young people the best, in any event.
