The Christian couple delights in the moral law of God. They will not dishonor their parents by becoming engaged without permission. They will not cause offense to the Christian community by failing to post their bans well in advance of the wedding. Although they are husband and wife in the sight of God, they will not commit adultery by coming together as one flesh before their betrothal contract is publicly fulfilled.
And where, pray tell, is this to be found in God's inspired Word? I did find mention of such things however, e.g., "posting of bans", "betrothal contracts", etc., in one particular book I have on my shelf which is titled, "The Devised Standard Version". Would that be your source? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/giggle.gif" alt="" />
