How about this? What is "marriage?"

If there's a "gray area" in your definition then I'd also be curious to know your answer to the question of, "When is fornication?"

Who proposed a gray area, Pela?

You need to get some more sleep.

Define "marriage." Give us a definition that is applicable in all human time periods and cultures.

I just got up a couple of hours ago.

My personal definition is it is the social union/legal contract between a man and woman that creates kinship ... which should be intimate and sexual in nature.

Define "American" ...

You need to sleep during normal hours.

The libs invented abortion to make the unintended consequences of fornication disappear.

I said it because I don't know if you left wing libbers have some modern take on scripture regarding this subject that us old fogies don't have!

Note I did not say that you did only that you might and it would be interesting to see what you guys think.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
