So according to your understanding (correct me if I am wrong) the laws of the country apply over God?
God talks about giving the government (or whoever is in charge) what belongs ro themsame..but the second verse CLEARLY states ro give, God what is his. Plus marriage b law is not forced. In fact, u can get married in a church,synagogue or wherever withput the state.
Also Im not making excuses. Keep judging

If the country is doing nothing outside God's will, obey the country. Countries taking taxes isn't outside God's will, so render to Caesar. Marriage isn't merely not outside God's will, it is his will for some. (1 Cor. 7:9.) So it is covered by God and country. So render to Caesar and God.

Long interesting post.
But fornication is cheating on your wife/husband. God nowhere speaks of sex before marriage.

“But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.” - 1Corinthians 7:2

Does Paul not teach us to abstain from sexually immorality but instead be married? (Sex before marriage).

“Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.” - Hebrews 13:4

Scripture above tells us how important it is to marry your spouse before sex, but more on point being that marriage is a scared vow or promise before God.

You can keep saying your opinion sis but I’m just giving you what the bible says which is Gods Word, not mine.

You have a deep understanding of women like I have a deep understanding of carving a wheel. You're clueless, AND arrogant!

You do realise that you can be innocent and witness a crime? You wouldn’t be classe as an accomplice unless proven guilty.

Example: I could “witness” a robbery from across the street, but that wouldn’t mean I was part of the robbery - simply a witness.

There’s a word for that, but I can’t remember what it’s called.

you skipped share the spoils part. or how about if you are driving the getaway car but some one got killed during the robery while you are outside waiting unless you tell on them you would be indiced for murder. even if the person killed was another accomplice.
at least in California you would be.

Loaded could mean drunk. In that case, I would not want to be loaded.

Dice could be loaded, which means they are heavy on one side. I wouldn’t want to be loaded like that, either.

I suppose it depends on what a person is loaded with, in order to want to be loaded.

Loaded could also mean a loaded glock.

I’ll be serious for a minute and come at this at another angle I don’t think people are considering.

Say one spouse is HORRIBLE with money, I mean- awful, spends money, doesn’t balance a checking account, kind of free wheeling. This spouse KNOWS he or she is awful with money. Say the other spouse is GOOD with money and a responsible adult. We’ll say the other is just not that good at adulting.

What would you guys think if the responsible spouse took the financial reins and had the bulk of the money in account where he or she took care of the bills, and the irresponsible spouse have a little checking account to be freewheeling. I don’t mean spend thousands of dollars a month on whatever, but maybe a couple of hundred.

Kind of like the irresponsible spouse has an allowance. The responsible spouse could deposit a couple hundred in the play account every month, and the irresponsible one can do what he or she likes with the allowance.

This would work for me, as I am not that good with money and be a load off my mind if my husband would take control and just give me an allowance every month.

It works, if it is a decision agreed upon. It wouldn't work, if it wasn't a mutual decision.

The one that earns more does their part around the house as well as looking after their kids.

Their part around the house, (and children are part of that), isn't even unless they do more than the other spouse. Equity isn't only about how much do you contribute to the banking account. It's how much you contribute to the relationship. If they think they deserve more, they better be earning more.

There’s a word for that “act” but I cannot remember it - I don’t think the penalty would be as harsh as the one who committed the murder though.

Oh it’s bugging me. Anyone here a lawyer? Lol. Tommy where you at?

They do more, they earn more therefore they think they have power over the financial income for both. Thats all I know about them.

I'm just curious demi. What stops you from having a wedding ceremony and a formal marriage contract since you believe you are married in God's eyes? You think it is not necessary? Is it just such a hassle?

A few things
First of all its so much unnecissary hassle that costslo lots of Money if we would want s ceremony (which none of us wanna do) plus his family would then want a catholic wedding and I really dont think so.
And it doesnt make much of a difference all in all here if u get married or not. In fact (unless both earn the same) you loose more money and and and
