first of all, no one here is actually discussing prenups, in a serious way, or at least for the purpose they were intended.
second, i find it sort of scripturally lacking that you assume that prenups are only a negative thing, and counter to God's purposes. in chat tonight, which is where the genesis for this thread sprung from, i gave more than one example of how i imagined a prenup could be used to actually work to keep a couple married, by clearly outlining efforts to be made in the pursuit of salvaging a flailing marriage.
so please do not assume that a prenup is only a negative, worldly thing, and that by us making purely joking "prenup clauses", such as i also offered, "no cooking bell peppers" is an attack on God or His word.
no one is mocking you, but i would encourage you to understand better how detrimental jesus juking can be.
often, people post scripture (lacking proper context or even relevant use). in some cases, i consider it as an abuse of holy scripture, words that have precious and sacred meaning to me.
i don't see scripture as a stick ever to be used to club someone over the head with, or intended for the judgment or even what sometimes comes off as false piety. i am not accusing you of those things, necessarily, but i think before you attack the term jesus juke, you should understand better why it is offensive to some.
here's an article with some good examples of why it's so unacceptable.
