Attending a wedding indicates you approve of the match.
How about turning water into wine at a wedding, does that indicate you approve not only of the marriage, but of the guests drinking alcohol to celebrate it ;0)

Ginnyrose, I also believe that you were right to warn - it is so easy to compromise.
Yes and Amen.

From what I have read of your posts you are not presumptuous in calling yourself "Broken One".
Oh if only this was true!! My screen name is more a prayer than a declaration, because I do truly desire to be broken, yielded, surrendered
..all the things that Jesus finds beautiful. I am so very far away from this. Sometimes it seems endlessly far away.
But I trust that His work in me will continue.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit Ps 34:18

I am surprised at the negative reactions this statement has caused. Now I wonder, just how old are you all who have disagreed with it? This is one the old people have said, others have said it and now this 60 YO is repeating it for the benefit of the younger generation.
I have a few questions for you all: why do you disagree? Do you believe marriage to be for life? Do you believe it is ok for a Christian to marry a non-believer?
I await your answers....

Yes....and no.
But that isn't the issue here, though, as I said, it was right to warn.

HMM, hmm
And when Mary and Martha both approached Jesus to tell them that there brother Lazarus had died, it wasnt until Mary approached him with the same question that Jesus Groaned, and asked where did you lay him?

| Re: | | dear ginnyrose,
hi, i'm phil and i'm 26 years old (you wanted to know our age). i do believe marriage to be for life and i do not agree with a believer marrying a non-believer..
that being said, my question is "will not going persuade the friend to not get married"? if so, then do not be a part.. but most of the time, experience has shown us that people are going to do what they want to when they have their mind made up, so why not be possibly the only Jesus that this friend sees and love her and try to persuade her not to get married, but let the friend make her choice.. can we choose for the friend?? then let's do our best to show her what a mistake she may be making, but not boycott the whole wedding..
just my opinion, which means nothing. but for the original person questioning "what does your spirit tell you? what do you feel the Lord is leading you to do?? then do it in faith, knowing that whatever He may ask you to do is what He desires.. |

| Re: | | That the lady has asked our sister to participate in the wedding even knowing that she does not approve of the match indicates, I think, that she is still open to her. To snub the wedding would just seem like the kind of legalism that would offend the bride and close that open door. _________________ Daniel

If this is the case as it has been for quite some time, then the Lady should not attend the sister's wedding.
I wouldn't |

| Re: | | dear brokenone,
i agree with many on this thread that the very fact that after warning her that she still asked you to be in the wedding is very telling indeed..
but the ultimate decision lies with you.. what does the Lord desire for you?? |
