[Faith-talk] living together before marriage

[Beth]

I second all we say about living together before marriage.  The 
Social Security Administration needs to take into account that 
all Abrahamics--Christian, Jew, Muslim--all say the same thing: 
no cohabitation before marriage, and give each person the same 
amount of money.  I refuse to lose money just by marrying my 
current bf, who is Muslim and wants what he calls a 
"halal"--acceptable--marriage.  He will likely lose money if he 
marries a girl with a job.  If I married him, we'd both lose 
money.  SSA should encourage married couples who can't work to 
keep their SSI, and if they do, to gradually take it away from 
them.

couldnt' have said it better myself, also when we do things that 
we are not
supposed to do because of money or some other qualifier we are 
basically
saying since God won't take care of me i'll do it myself, either 
get married
or don't live together, pretty clear in the Word of God. Jeanette

 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

Is it wrong for a couple to live together before they're married? 
I was
taught the bible forbids this practice, and when I told someone 
this, I
was told that being in the ministry was not American idol, and 
that this
wasn't some kind of power trip. I was told that I should be 
loving and not
judgmental, and the person told me they were living together for 
monetary
reasons. , and that I should not tell people it's not biblical to 
live
together before marriage, and that I had no right to say this. 
I've been a
licensed minister since 2005, and their have been some occasions, 
where
I've been asked to preach at church, and I wasn't paid any money. 
I'm not
in this for the money, I am in this to see people get saved! This 
was a
blind person who told me this. RJ
