Hebrews Ch 13 v4(new living translation)

Give honour to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God
will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.

Sure suggests it to me.

Also First Corinthians Ch 7 vs 2-5 read it yourself I'm not typing it all out.



 RW>>>> Genesis 2:23-24

 RW>>>> "The man said, `This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my
 RW>>>> flesh; she shall be called "woman," for she was taken out of
 RW>>>> man.' For this reason a man will leave his father and mother
 RW>>>> and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." God
 RW>>>> created man and then made woman to complement him. Marriage is
 RW>>>> God's "fix" for the fact that "it is not good for the man to be
 RW>>>> alone" (Genesis 2:18).

 DD>>> Yep - that surely says that a man should have a woman to fuck.

 RW>> So, in your zeal to win your arguement, you missed the word
 RW>> 'wife'? Read the above again.

 DD> I'm sorry - I missed the bit where you drew the connection between a

 DD>>> I seem to have missed the bit where is says that he should have
 DD>>> a formal wedding with her.

 RW>> The term 'wife' seems to be a close term to bride, the latter is
 RW>> a female participant in a wedding ceremony, while a wife is a

 DD> As defined where? Didn't we discuss common law wives the other day. If
 DD> the bible uses the word wife how do we know it isn't referring to a
 DD> common law wife - after all no formal marriages are described in the

 RW>> Her partner, if male, was known as the
 RW>> bridegroom during the wedding, and within the marriage is called
 RW>> her husband.

 DD>>> Can you point that out to me please?

 RW>> You're trying to kill the messenger, who only bears the facts as
