Legal Adultry

Curious as to what people think about this:

I am an ordained minister, have performed marriages, yet, I don't believe in God, nor do I mention God anywhere in the ceremony. Legally, these two people are married . . but, since I don't believe in God . . is it still adultry from the religious standpoint?

the more interesting question is, why is someone an ordained mister if they don't believe in god— i'm not religious either, but then i'm not a minister...weird

*ordained minister* typo again 🙂

if you are a minister, a lack in purity of intention, believes and actions ridicules everything represent. maybe i'm blue-eyed about it, but i seriously believe in really meaning what you say. if you don't, go find another job.

*everthing you represent* why on earth can't i read my posts before i submit them lol

If someone is agnostic . . do they not deserve to have the right to be bound in legal marriage?

For two hearts to become one in matrimony, that is sanctioned by God . . . would be a betrayal to their belief system. Do they not have the same rights in our legal system as two people who have faith in the Diety?

So, I'm taking it . . the answer to my question, is "no". They wouldn't be married in God's eyes.

Yet, before Jesus performed the first wedding ceremony, it was believed that a man would take a woman and bed her, she therefore became his wife, right? Or, something like that.

If these two people lay with only each other and claim to the world that only to each other, will they give of their bodies, mind and heart . . isn't that already a marriage in God's eyes, whether it's legal, or not?

what about a J.P.? he is not a minster but it is a legal marrage. In the eyes of the state and of all religions you are married..
