Marriage question
I've read the article on Holy Matrimony vs Marriage by brother Gregory. My questions are,
If a man and woman is married by the state and not a Holy Matrimony under God, that pretty much means that if they have sex they are committing fornication, which is a sin?
Does the couple have to divorce under the state marriage and then have a Holy Matrimony under God to make it right with God?
God Bless,
Tony
The fornication or adultery is when you invited the state into your marriage and gave them power over the relationship and the products of that relationship.

The marriage contract and union is not the real problem but a symptom of the problem. Generations ago your ancestors started making covenants with the world often to obtain benefits. This brought them into bondage.
Divorce is not a real solution and may be inappropriate if you are not addressing the real problems.
Those problems are addressed by seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Israel and early Christians were kicked out of their bondage because they started doing what God said to do from the beginning. They started caring about and for their neighbor as much as for themselves. This not only caused the Pharaoh and the Pharisees to kick them out but they were better prepared when they had to leave.
Right now if the husband dies their wife and child are more likely to be cared for by the State than by what is posing as the Church or by fellow kingdom seekers. The modern church has not daily ministration to speak of and will not if the people will not gather together in the name or character of Christ.
Everyone wants to be free but who wants to be righteous?

Man and woman cannot be married by the state. Such "marriage" is equivalent to a gay marriage. There is no such thing as a government "marriage".
All children of licensed "marriage" are bastards. According to the received-law-of-the-land bastards are not children to any civil purpose.
See attached images. According to Black’s Law Dictionary a Marriage License is only for those “persons who intend to intermarry”
According to Black’s Law Dictionary, Licensed inter-Marriage is “a reciprocal engagement by which each of the parties “marries” the other.” They (the lawyers) put “marries” in quotes because it is not a marriage.
Divorce courts exist for a purpose. The purpose is to declare invalid marriages to be void from the beginning. If licensed "marriage" ever gets to a divorce court, then it will be declared invalid from the beginning. Divorce never cancels a marriage. It declares that it never existed.
Divorce in the Bible never cancels a marriage either. Divorce in the Bible refers to living separately.
If a VALID marriage gets to a divorce court, it will be upheld. Two examples:
1. Image attached. An 1873 law encyclopedia about marriage law contrasts a divorceable marriage with “a regular marriage”. Proof of a church wedding “would stop the case”. (Theophilus Parsons, Law of Contracts, Boston, Little, Brown & Co., Sixth Edition, 1873, Volume III, page 85 (indexed as page 80) )
2. Shelford's 1841 textbook Treatise of the Law of Marriage (A Practical Treatise of The Law of Marriage and Divorce by Leonard Shelford, Littell Publishers, Philadelphia, 1841 ) mentions, on page 331 that the first wife can divorce her husband's second marriage:
"If a man has solemnized matrimony with one, and afterwards marries another, if the lawful wife desires to be restored to her husband, she may institute a suit in a cause of divorce from the tie of the second marriage, and of restitution of conjugal rights.

It *seems* like terms and authority references are being confused and intermingled.
Black’s Law Dictionary is a secondary authority.
It would seem that one primary authority, for the conclusions drawn, should be declared. Is it a civil statute? Natural Law? Mosaic Law? Can we intermingle terms and concepts from “primary" authorities?
Does Black’s Law Dictionary have a place as a secondary authority used to interpret God’s Law, Natural Law or civil laws only?
I’m very interested in this conversation and here to learn, I don’t know everything and am saying “it seems".
Peace, Terry
Terry you are on the right track.
"Words are the signs of ideas."
Context will often determine which definition of a word to use or apply. But context is not merely the phrase or sentence in which a term appears but the venue and jurisdiction and even the time in which appears.
The venue and jurisdiction may be altered by the status of the participants. People sold into bondage by their parents may not have the capacity to enter into Holy Matrimony except in spirit.
Originally marriage was the act of giving someone into the union of marriage. In science marriage is "a combination or mixture of two or more elements."
States define marriage for their purposes in a variety of different places in ore than one way.
When I wrote the "Covenants of the gods" I was merely showing people how they became entangled again in the yoke of bondage. The way out is to repent, think a different way, and seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness in all things and everything else will be provided.
If you love your wife or husband, marry in the Church regardless of other union. Teach your children the true history of the kingdom and The Ways of God. Gather together in congregations networked together for the purposes of charity and hope. Sacrifice and serve one another, forgive your parents, your neighbors, your enemies including the state and forgive yourself.
