[Faith-talk] living together before marriage

[Debbie Brown]

Dr. Jernigan said that the Social Security Administration encouraged people 
to live together in sin.  There are other things Christians don't do for 
money, such as prostituting our bodies or selling drugs.  As Federationists 
we believe we are accountable for our actions, and as Christians we follow 
the Bible.
