Marry an ugly woman? (from Night Patrol)

Kent: Let me tell you something Melvin. If you're gonna get married, marry an ugly girl.
Melvin: Ugly girl, why?
Kent: Ehhh, you marry a pretty one, two weeks later she runs off with somebody else.
Melvin: Yeah, well an ugly girl can run away too.
Kent: I know, but who gives a sheet?

Yeah, my thought is that you created this thread 4 minutes after posting in the other thread I was in.

I see a pattern in that the subject of something I comment on is recreated by you in a new thread. Numerous times I might add...

No worries though, I know I inspire you. You're right, "An evolution of thought/belief is upon us" and I know I'm responsible for at least some of it.

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. :-Þ

Ezekiel 16:49-55
New International Version (NIV)

49 “‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. 50 They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen. 51 Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have done more detestable things than they, and have made your sisters seem righteous by all these things you have done. 52 Bear your disgrace, for you have furnished some justification for your sisters. Because your sins were more vile than theirs, they appear more righteous than you. So then, be ashamed and bear your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous.

53 “‘However, I will restore the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters and of Samaria and her daughters, and your fortunes along with them, 54 so that you may bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you have done in giving them comfort. 55 And your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to what they were before; and you and your daughters will return to what you were before.



Jeremiah 8:8
New International Version (NIV)

8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise,
for we have the law of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
has handled it falsely?

May I take credit for this thread too?

If you mean me, I've thought this way since I was 3...

I think the OT is just a story about effed up people doing effed up things and claiming "Thus saith the Lord", when the Lord hath not spoken...

Nor do I... But sit back, grab some popcorn, I'm sure someone will come along to tell us...

Exactly, just like it says in Ezekiel.

So the question then becomes, for those who want to answer...

If a homosexual couple gets married and the marriage bed cannot be defiled, is it still a sin?

Ezekiel 16:55
King James Version (KJV)

55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.

I'm going to have to say it's for the same reason of all wars.
Greed and pride...

Because I haven't figured out how to sleep standing up...

I am unique in that I don't really care if you think I'm unique or not... :-/

I always thought they were the same???

Damn Satanists...

I don't fear any man and their imaginary smugness. I see "imaginary friend" and I laugh... Why, because I'm not ashamed, nor embarrassed by someone's imaginary "superior" intelligence.

Just sayin' that who the eff cares about someone's real mental shortcomings...

Deuteronomy 4:1-2
New International Version (NIV)

4 Now, Israel, hear the decrees and laws I am about to teach you. Follow them so that you may live and may go in and take possession of the land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. 2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.


Moses is guilty of the bolded words above. Do you deny this?

Yeshua goes a bit futher than that I think. He points out that it was Moses who gave that law and that from the beginning it wasn't so...

I feel no need to judge those who observe the pagan sun god's day of worship (Sunday) but I will NOT allow those false teachers to tell me who I am allowed to marry and whether or not I am actually married. Nor do I require permission of them to follow the laws which are written on MY heart as well as yours. You are more than welcome to follow those rules and traditions of men, but you do not have authority to dictate "God's law" to anyone except yourself.

I do not answer to any man...

Jeremiah 8:8
New International Version (NIV)

8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise, for we have the law of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?


Ezekiel 22:26-29
King James Version (KJV)

26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken.

29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.


1 Corinthians 4:3-5
New International Version (NIV)

3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.

I don't need you, the Pope, John Doe, or some book to tell me whether or not I'm married. I have God's law written on my heart so I and the one I choose make that decision.

Do you think God's standard is written in the Bible?
