http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MishnahI'm afraid I have to admit ignorance to a lot of the Jewish terms and traditions. You lost me in this.
People still do that...lol
Yes, and a marriage license is how a man legally 'buys' a wife today.
No, I don't follow. I'm afraid you've lost me in this riddle.
isreal was a theocracy. what is a that? the sandhedrin were the ones whom granted divorces later on. early on it was a writ of divorce. now I must go read up on what the chassidics teach on that. that will be in the Talmud on how they did that. I could be wrong but they had to implement what moses said and he didn't give much. just get a writ of divorce and not where to get it from and whom would give it.
I second that.
Commitment and copulation.
I see what you're saying and I'm partially supportive of the idea of keeping the government out of marriage. (Not entirely sure, as there are a few rights granted with that, though the specifics don't come to mind at the moment.) That said, I would consider living together without a marriage license to be guilty of the appearance of evil, if nothing else.
If a license-less marriage has supposedly the same legal obligation attached to it as a licensed marriage does (as license-less married people want to insist), then how much more a licensed marriage surely does!
Did you mean to say that you wouldn't live together or would live together?
A joke only if they got rid of any wives they had.
I wonder why God allowed them to have so many wives.
ironic, when gay marriage and civil unions were first on the scene this very discussion was something I would tell others that we will have commitless civil unions and marriages even more so. I joke now that we will have non committal live in couples so that they wont have to share things or loose them if it doesn't work out. party a wont live with party b but just come by for a date and sex. don't want to loose that car, home. etc. yup im wondering when they will be.
Committed to copulating? That's still fornication.
stubborned of man. he allowed slavery as well. the bible doesn't damn slavery as a sin. yet by common sense no man ought to own another.
Neither, really. I just said that I do entertain the idea of the government leaving marriage alone and letting churches and religious institutions handle it. Some believe that government has no business with marriage anymore than government has with most things.
in pauls day there was legal recongnition of marries by the state. roman law does do that. I have to find that in the roman law links I have read.
The all encompassing answer? It's symbolic of Christ and the many 'wives' he has in the many members of his bride.
