Thread: Original Marriage Definition

    Default Original Marriage Definition

    I was enlightened as to the original meaning of "marriage" by a good friend.

    Much talk has been about the original meaning of marriage and the long traditions of the institution. Several people have said we should not change the definiton.

    The first references to "marriage" come from the Torah. And it is defined as between one JEWISH man and one JEWISH woman.

    But if we pressure hard enough, I am sure we can get civil unions recognized for christians too.

    I noticed it didn't say between a man and a man.

    Nope, that is why we are campaigning for a change.

    But you insist that change in the definition of marriage is bad. So how about we get a civil union for your and your live-in partner?

    'The definition is A so we are campaigning for it to be B.'

    Rather odd logic.

    Nothing illogical about equality for all. We are campaigning for a change. So naturally 'A' cannot remain 'A', or there would be no change at all.

    Nothing odd about my logic at all.

    If you're gay, my good man, you should come up here where its safe, rather than risk being stoned or dragged to death by your moronic neighbors.

    The "Traditional" def of marriage is constantly changing, it has been for hundrids of years. A marriage today is nuthing like a marriage a thousand years ago.

    IN Jesus's time marriage to many wifes was common. Interreligous marriage was not allowed, inter racial marriage was not allowed and if you were married to a woman you owned her!

    Marriage between one man and his wife has always been included in the definition; between two queers, never.

    In other words, you are willing to ignore any other changes in the definition of marriage, as long as we don't change things that you don't want changed?

    YES, that is exactly what bigots like him believe. Only changes that he wants are allowed. Changes to provide others the same rights he is granted are not allowed if it goes against his OPINIONS.
