So
you are saying the state has more authority than God in a Church, Gods house? Wrong.I don't care if SSM is the 'law of the land', I understand your confusion however, seeing as how you're not a Christian. The secular world can 'marry' anything they want, that does not make it a sanctioned marriage in God's eyes. Is your next step to force your 'marriages' on the church? There's a difference between legal/secular marriage, and joining two people together in the eyes of God. You can do whatever you want with the first, hell why not allow people to marry their pets if they want too? But you have no control over the second, and you never will.
The thing is you can stand in a church all day long and recite wedding vows.
You're no more married than the wallpaper is married.
You're married when you sign that license and it's filed with the state.
Until then, you're not married. So your eyes of god garbage doesn't matter in America. What does matter is the law and our constitution. Which you don't have any problem with violating.
So go ahead and recite all the wedding vows in a church you want but our government and everyone else won't recognize your marriage and you could be prosecuted then put in prison if you illegally used any of the benefits our nation gives to married people. Such as tax benefits. If you use that you're committing fraud and will end up either paying a huge fine or go to prison or both.
Yes I am. You can stand in a church and recite wedding vows all day long. You're no more married than wallpaper is married.
For you to be married in America and for our government to recognize it, you must have signed that marriage license, have it signed by 2 witnesses, the person who officiated the ceremony and then filed with the state.
If you don't do that and only say vows in a church you're no more married than wallpaper and you can't claim any of the benefits of marriage in America.
That's fact and no amount of your excuses will ever make it not fact.
I guess it all depends on whether you recognize the power of God or the power of the state, doesn't it?
13And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap him in his talk.
14And they came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are true and do not care about anyone’s opinion. For you are not swayed by appearances,c but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?”
15But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why put me to the test? Bring me a denariusd and let me look at it.”
16And they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
17Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they marveled at him.
I swear, I've never seen or heard anyone more educated on the Bible than you!! Even my pastor, and myself, who has read and studied the Bible for over 20 years doesn't know as much as you know!!!! You've just taught me so much here!!!.lol
