Belief in the Resurrection & Satan

Is it better for the norms of a previously established relationship to totally be violated and for the relationship to fail?

Marry her you grotty little weasel. Or leave her so she can repent if she chooses to.

@philokalia said
So what about what I'm doing now reminds you of this Romans affair?

Yes, of course. For the reasons I have given.

Your inability to answer my straightforward question is noted.

Nevertheless, obedience to Christ is not a matter of negotiation based on your personal circumstances. According to biblical scripture you are practicing fornication. You are also responsible for your girlfriend being in a state of fornication.

Either acknowledge it or don’t, but please don’t insult th ...[text shortened]... unching counter-measures about principles of “economy” or some other copy pasted pretentious waffle.

Ok, i stated my case already.

So would you say a person who becomes a Christian that has a previously existing relationship should be forced into an officislized marriage or to break up immediately upon becoming Christian because of doctrine..? Or?

And what if they already live together as man and wife, and have what amounts to a common law marriage?

@philokalia said
Why bring it up?

For reasons I have already explained to you.

@philokalia said
Alright, so what is your scripturally based belief on this?

If you can not control your sexual urges you should marry.

It’s absolutely clear in the NT, try reading it occasionally instead of Greek church history.

Grotty little weasel.

Doesn't sound very Christian of you, Dive.

Lol

Right, and that will happen.

It's in the process.

And, it has all been discussed with the authorities in my church.

Now, why do I need to justify myself to a hostile man like you?

Did you ever say anything like this to Romans1009?

People can do exactly as they please and as suits their life choices. However, the Bible is unequivocal about sexual morality and the church instructions relating to it.

In your case you are free to do exactly as you please of course, but don’t lecture me about scripture and Satanic forces when you are banging a girl and won’t marry her.

Yes, I did. But I can't point to a specific instance in the forum, though we also did have some private messages back and forth.

Romans1009 was arguably the most hostile man this forum has ever seen. You never confronted him though. In fact you thought he was the best poster here.

This post is basically about you.

Right, but I will.

And it has been confessed and established.

I think you are lying.

I did confront him, although I didn't do it much, because it's the internet and I found the way he worked you guys up and still works you up to be funny

Funny enough to keep a count going.

I have no doubt you are lying about this.
