wher does it say in the bible that i need a paper to be married"?

Question

i dont care about the goverment stuff. just about GOD.

IF IT IS IN THE BIBLE CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE

Answer 1

So, get married in Church, and have the banns read like they used to do. If you have your intention of marriage announced at the church you plan to be married in, and that you or your fiance attend, three times, it is considered a legal proceeding. Then the only paper you have is the one from the church, and they are generally much prettier, and holds more meaning than any court document.

Answer 2

Well, In the days of the bible, you definately didn't need paper, You just sealed the deal with the bride's father by giving up a dowry. This was basically a payment to the father for the daughter, That was the deciding factor. That made the marriage legal. Nowadays, you need paper because of the many reasons people get married. You also need it for documentation of name changes, money related issues and other govermental issues. It doesnt' say anywhere that we need paper to be married in the good book, but until we go to heaven, It has got to be on paper.

Answer 3

The Bible says God is a God not of disorder but of peace, also it mentions the legaling establishing of the good news, and it says to obey the superior authorities because they stand placed in their relative position by the power of God. So God would only recognize your marriage if you've legally established it according to the laws where you live since he allows the superior authorities to exist to maintain order. Just living together as husband and wife without making it legal would be fornication which is a sin. Also it does not give any respect to the partners and causes legal problems if one should die which a husband would not be loving his wife to cause her problems upon his death or would it be a wife respecting her husband for the same reason. The Bible also says a man should be a husband of only one wife.

Answer 4

YOu don't, but you do need to take a vow and take it openly before a witness, such as the man you are marrying.

And you need to basically accept the definitions of God and Jesus that once you do this you can't set them aside except for adultery.

Just because there are no other witness except you, him, the angels around you and God who hears all and Sees all, doesn't mean you can say it "never happened" because we have no paper.

If you split apart with out anyone dong adutery, you are not supposed to ever marry again, for if you do you are then commiting adultery in the eyes of God, who sees all and knows all.

Are the rules clear. One man, one woman, til death or adultery do you part, otherwise it is forever and ever.

Even if there is no paper.

Answer 5

It doesn't actually say anywhere in the Bible nor were there many actual documents of marriage during the "Bibilical Age". However, the "tradition" of a marriage license probably began to help church and government to keep track of who is married to whom. Eventually the legality of marriage, the necessity of a license, is used for tax and as well as census purposes.

A real marriage isn't defind by a license or legal tradition rather by love (or by a goat in an ancient betrothed marriage).

Answer 6

no where in the bible does it say that...however what u should know is that marriages are made in heaven and it doesnt mean the one u get married to here on earth is your soulmate when u die and go to the spiritual world, we are all matched in heaven. Marriage starts from the spiritual not the physical...back to the question here on earth we only need papers as a rule governed by the law in any country ..remember "give to ciezer what belongs to ciezer".. in otherwards when in rome do as the romans do.

Answer 7

the Bible tells us to obey the laws of the land, that would mean the government.. and the paper.
they had weddings in Biblical times, it was a Honor to be wed in the eyes of God. when you marry someone you are standing before God making a oath that you are committed to that person and only that person... for the rest of your life.
also, back in Biblical times, women that didn't marry were called concubines, they were sex maids for the man of the house. David had 300 of those. they didn't have the privileges that wives had.
I am in no way judging you, and I really don't want you to think that I am, I am only telling you what the Bible said about un-married and married women in the Bible. please don't think that I am judging you, because I'm really not... it's your life and you have to ask God for direction on these matters... not people.

have you asked God what he would have you do?

Answer 8

In The eyes Of God U dont Need any Bloomin Paper

Answer 9

God says that if you are not married then living together with your fiance/ boyfriend is sin (and so is sex with him).

Telling God that you are married does not make you married.

Have a Christian Pastor marry you in a church (particularly if you dont care about government stuff).

By the way, God ordained Government -- to protect us and to maintain civil order. So we should care about government stuff (such as marriage) which are designed to protect us and maintain order in society.

Cordially,
John

Answer 10

It doesn't. The paperwork is for the civil authorities. A marriage confers rights and duties on the partners, and you do need to care about the legal stuff. It influences taxes, property ownership, income division, parental rights, inheritance, medical issues, and a host of other things. Don't skip it.
