And that's not biblical.
Of course.
Well, I mean, stealing is, you're not supposed to steal in the Bible.
And I understand exactly what you're saying.
And on this particular example, I don't think it's me finding a loophole.
And I don't think it's me finding a loophole because up until 130, 140 years ago, marriage contracts between governments did not exist.
Every single great Christian leader in European history that we've read about and that we know about, of which I know most of them, I'm a history buff, none of them got married because
And involved a contract between their government and them and their wife.
Nor so did all the common Christian people when Europe was 99% Christian just throughout its entire history.
Every single peasant, every knight, every lord, every king.
They would get married and it was a covenant between them and the witnesses which had to be at the wedding and their church.
There was absolutely no government contracts for marriage up until 140 years ago.
So how can the Bible...
And the Christian faith, which began, I mean, it didn't begin with Jesus, but the modern, the Christian faith, as I understand it, began with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
How could it have been wrong about marriage for 1,850 years before suddenly people realized, ah, it needs government contracts in this.
That's what we're missing.
That's definitely what, you know, the Bible teaches.
And I simply do not believe that to be the case.
And no one will convince me otherwise.
Well, I'm against same-sex marriage personally, and I hope you are too.
