What the Bible Really
Says About Marriage
The Presidential Prayer Team
is currently urging us to: "Pray for the
President as he seeks wisdom on how to legally
codify the definition of marriage. Pray that it
will be according to Biblical principles. With
any forces insisting on variant definitions of
marriage, pray that God's Word and His standards
will be honored by our government." This
is true.
Any good religious person believes
prayer should be balanced by action. So here,
in support of the Prayer Team's admirable goals,
is a proposed Constitutional Amendment codifying
marriage entirely on biblical principles:
A. Marriage in the United States
shall consist of a union between one man and one
or more women.
(Gen 29:17-28; II Sam 3:2-5)
B. Marriage shall not impede
a man's right to take concubines in addition to
his wife or wives.
(II Sam 5:13; I Kings 11:3; II Chron 11:21)
C. A marriage shall be considered
valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife
is not a virgin, she shall be executed.
(Deut 22:13-21)
D. Marriage of a believer and
a non-believer shall be forbidden.
(Gen 24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12; Neh 10:30)
E. Since marriage is for life,
neither this Constitution nor the constitution
of any State, nor any state or federal law, shall
be construed to permit divorce.
(Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9)
F. If a married man dies without
children, his brother shall marry the widow. If
he refuses to marry his brother's widow or deliberately
does not give her children, he shall pay a fine
of one shoe and be otherwise punished in a manner
to be determined by law.
(Gen. 38:6-10; Deut 25:5-10)
G. In lieu of marriage, if
there are no acceptable men in your town, it is
required that you get your dad drunk and have
sex with him (even if he had previously offered
you up as a sex toy to men young and old), tag-teaming
with any sisters you may have. Of course, this
rule applies only if you are female.
(Gen 19:31-36)
