Yes, things such as house, furniture, car, etc. It would be best to avoid purchases like that while merely living together prior to marriage. If you cannot share other lesser purchases and financial responsibilities while living together, you should just forget about marriage altogether.
If you are considering marriage to the person, you are facing all of that anyway. Ownership of this or that matters little if everything is shared in an amenable fashion. It is only things like large joint purchases that present a problem and really should be avoided or handled very carefully.
Well not exactly because as a married couple, you usually buy big things together, right?
Because of the financial issues. Many "ex-couples" go to court because they supposedly paid for something that they didn't get back. And just little things like that.
I don't really think living together is such a good idea. I mean unless you're gonna act like roommates where... this stuff is mine and that stuff is yours. Financially, I think it gets messy... especially if or when you break up.
The New testament actually tells us that the laws of the Old testament no longer apply. This includes the 10 commandments although I think the essencial elements of 9 of the 10 commandments come up in the new testament.
Yeah, but I think Jesus implied that the Ten Commandments should still be used.
I'm not saying that the quote itself is wrong. Personally i think its a great quote but i still think that there is more to it then simply saying you believe just incase you are wrong.
Yeah, of course there is more to living a life for God... but for unbelievers, that's a big deal.
I kind of read that quote as. "Im going to believe in God just in case he is real and not just because he is real."
While i have no doubt that the person who said that is a Christian and believed in God i do not think its something that we should live by if you know what im trying to say.
That's not what the quote means. The person who said that doesn't live by that standard. It's just something to awaken those who do not believe. It allows unbelievers to think about what would happen if they were wrong.
"I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isnt, than to live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is."
Well my 'faith' i use the term extremly loosly, is that physics will one day prove religion to be created by man for man. Just because someone had a faith and wanted to broadcast it among his fellow men, so that ehy would all be in on this whole ever growing sect by the name of christianity, i mean just look at the conquests, Christians killing others, now i don't see that printed in the bible, do you?
If Christians kill other Christians, they are violating the Ten Commandments. Thou shalt not kill. And if they do murder someone, then obviously they aren't real Christians.
