Yes, you need a marriage license to get married. And? Who cares? Do you think that makes marriage evil or something?

I have no idea what you're trying to say here, sorry.

OK. And?

And now you're saying that Christians who get married aren't "real Christians"? And that the only "real Christians" are Christians who are baptized? Do I understand that right?

So....the Christians who did date and then ended up in happy, lasting marriages followed God's will?

Oh. So do nothing, and wait for God to everything for you. The God that, apparently, plays Puppetmaster and runs every aspect of your dating life. Right.

You said that dating was worldly or sinful, or something like that. Right? OK, so how does one find someone to marry, and evaluate their potential as a possible marriage partner, in the modern age?

OK. Say I wanted to find a partner to marry. But I can't do it via dating. What method would you recommend, specifically?

And therefore.....nobody should ever bother with dating or marriage. Alright, then.

I guess we should re-institute the Jewish bride-price, the betrothal, and the groom building an addition to his father's house, then? if having a "Western" wedding somehow involved actual sin, then, yeah, I get why we shouldn't do it. Does it, though? :LOL: But we no longer live in the perfect...

At this point, I'm confident that it's not for you. That's fine. Not everyone desires marriage, and nobody is required to get married. But not everyone is like you. Paul had no desire to get married, either. But Paul also conceded that not everyone is like him, and allowed marriage. In Genesis...

Remember to catch all your fish via nets from a fishing boat as well. If you don't, you're doing it wrong. Oh, and only in the Mediterranean, too.

I'm sorry, Lynx. You're going to have to give up that, too. After all, Jesus never ate chocolate, did He? Neither did Paul. So give it all up. :ROFL:

Jesus didn't die for my desire for a car, a home or a decent-paying job, either. I guess I should just forget about that stuff, then!

Every Christian who desires romance/marriage is guilty of being discontent with Jesus. These people are, apparently, not "true Christians." And you just know this. From the bottom of your heart. Alright, then!

Very touching, haha! On consideration, I very much miss having hidden motives attributed to me and ending up in the middle of epic misunderstandings. 😂

And how do you know that this is the hidden motive of every person who desires marriage? How can you know that? Desiring romance/marriage/sex is totally normal and a normal part of being human. Though not everyone is like that. Paul wasn't like that, for example. But in 1 Corinthians 7 even...

Oh, interesting. I didn't really consider that, or even notice it, really. But that's why some people love the Internet, I'm sure. Isn't it great? Thank you, God, for inventing the Internet. :ROFL:

It's strange. On the one hand, he seems to view himself as the gallant protector of women from the unwelcome advances of all the evil, lustful men. At the same time, he admits that the only woman he actually knows for real is his mother. And that marriage is the same thing as prostitution or...

I get it, too. Though he did say that the only woman he really knows is his mother. So I don't get how he would know that most or all women are like that. Who knows? :LOL:
