I have been wondering this ever since last Sunday. We have a new preacher at the church I go to and he was saying what he thought was wrong. One of the things is people who shack up with each other. You know, boyfriend and girlfriend moving in together. All the preachers I know say this wrong, VERY wrong, but they never say why or site any Bible passages that say it's wrong. Most people in my family say it's wrong too.
My parents lived together for about 6 months before they married. So they don't see it as a big deal. I don't think so either because you can see how well you live with a person and get sneak peek before you marry. Now I understand if they live together for years and have kids and already split everything but don't want to marry. I mean why not at that point.
So my main question is where did the It's Wrong idea come from, the assumption that they're having sex out of wedlock or is it wrong to move in with anybody? It's fine if two people of the same sex live together, but not different. The two same sex people might be gay. Another thing, the poeple who say it's wrong say it's ok to take a vaction with that special someone alone. Yeah, like they're going to sleep in seperate rooms.
What are your thoughts? Can you clear this up for me?
