"And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." I was raised on a farm and know what a plough is and have used one. Hitch it up to a mule and it will dig up the ground into rows. If you make the rows straight it is easier to plant your seeds. If crooked some seeds will fall by the wayside and the crows will come and eat them up.
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? You don't have to say anything, He know your thoughts.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. Was subject unto them? Did they spank his little butt for worrying them?
i'm preparing for this mornings message and I came across your question.
While I believe all that the others have said, scripture does call it straight. I also believe that in Gods word, covenant should not be overlooked. For our God is a Covenant keeping God. Marriage is a covenant worth keeping, in ancient times it was very different to our present day ceremony. Two became one at the point of their union together, So in the eyes of God IF you are serious about your commitment to each other.... you are one. Can I encourage you to simply, put things right in the eyes of the law. God bless you brother, and if you need a Celebrant in Qld call me. 0432754912
To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
73
The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
74
That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75
In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
1. Open your bible randomly, and pick ANY verse and read it.
2. Now go to the beginning of that chapter and read all the way down to that original verse -- does it give more meaning?
3. Each verse in the bible will have another verse that corresponds. If you look in the middle of your bible page, you will see the verse that you originally read, and it will have verses from other books to reference, they will provide even more clarity.
4. Pray for understanding ask God to help
