Actually, I was at two weddings the past two weekends. One was very formal and very Catholic, and the other was in a wedding chapel in Vegas -- very quick and very generic.
Both couples are just as married.
That's part of why I'm conflicted about this. I'm not an Evangelical Christian, but I am an Elder in the mainline Presbyterian Church (PCUSA). But I simply can't take as "gospel" (oh, what a terrible play on words) using quotes from the Bible to condem or prove things beyond a reasonable doubt. There must be some room for conscious thought and deliberation.
If we take the Bible as the literal truth, we would have to stone to death anyone we caught committing audltry. And all of you who are having pre-marital sex are probably going straight to Hell.
I hope God has more trust in us than that.
The context of then and now has changed radically.
