[Faith-talk] living together before marriage

[Linda Mentink]

RJ and all,

The Bible says that the marriage bed should not be defiled, and that 
we should avoid the appearance of evil. It doesn't say, but, if 
you're blind, and would get more money not marrying, God will allow 
that. Or, if you're going to eventually marry anyway, God will allow 
that. There are no qualifiers, and the Bible never changes. Our 
society and culture change, but, if we say we are Christians, and we 
really are, then we should obey God's Word, no matter what people say 
or what's accepted in the world today. God says it, I believe it, and 
that's good enough for me!

Blessings,

Linda
