Should people marry? It seems that God would forbid it.

"And Jesus said to them, [b]The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage;
But those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,"
Luke 20:34-35

we are allowed to marry... marriage is actually a very sacred thing in the Bible...

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

people are not prohibited to marry, GIA... wake up... [/B]

I never said they were except in heaven.

Wake up. Or at least pay attention.

How many wives are we allowed? How many husbands?

Some Jews had hundreds and this is the Jewish God.

You're not seriously telling me about what a Muslim group (the Sufis) thinks of 1st Corinthians, are you?

“He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord – how he may please the Lord. But he who is married cares about the things of the world – how he may please his wife” (1 Corinthians 7:32-33).

That shows what is apparently God's wish.

Strange though that what you quoted is just basically a licence to screw. I do not see that as a good reason to marry. Do you?

Children naturally result from people satisfying that type of desire in the conventional way. Traditional Marriage increases the likelihood those children will be properly cared for, in ways that have proven superior statistically to nearly every other living arrangement currently researched. I'm not really seeing what you think is wrong with that, from a secular OR religious standpoint.

Actually, I'm not sure you really DO think anything is wrong with that, especially given that you yourself apparently got married in the traditional way.

Yes but I never just screwed my wife. That is why I am not impressed with those who see a marriage licence as a licence to just screw.

If we are to keep all the old traditions that Christianity endorsed, why not start stoning people for fornicating again.

Then again, you might have a good point.

I doubt most actual Christians view a marriage license that way, either.

Are you sure Christianity really endorsed that? If so, why did Jesus Christ himself famously save a woman who was about to be killed that way?

John 8 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 they say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

You're calling "early Christian" what was actually "Roman Catholic Church" and about 3 centuries after the days of Christ and the New Testament writers preaching. All the other episodes mentioned in your article are Roman Catholic Church and about one THOUSAND years after the period of the early Christians (11th and 12 century).

You're using strawmen here.

Severus has an interest way of telling it. Why separate in speech what was together in life?

What's the take of the Easter Orthodox Church on this?

i'm talking about the Christian God, dude.

"And said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?
So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."
Matthew 19:5-6

marriage is sacred in Christianity... it didn't say "3, 4, 5 or 6 or more" shall become one flesh... it says the two - the husband and wife - shall become one flesh...

how many wives allowed? one...
how many husbands allowed? one...

in fact, this passage goes way, way, way back in the time of Adam and Eve:

"Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh."
Genesis 2:24

God gave Adam only one wife, dude.
