HolyGhostGirl View Profile History	IT IS NOT IN THE BIBLE! Posted : 19 Apr, 2011 10:15 AM Sometimes I hear people say things that I haven't been able to find in the bible. They'll say things about shacking up (man and woman living together, whether they're intimately involved or not). Which personally, I believe people shouldn't shack up because it's an open door for :devil:, but I don't see that in the bible. We can stretch things in the bible and make it apply, but it doesn't specifically address it, or at least I haven't found it. So please, if I'm wrong, enlighten me. HERE'S THE MAIN QUESTION THOUGH...... They'll say for ie....God will not put more on you than you can bear. And they kinda quote it like it's an actual scripture. Sometimes they even refer to 1 Corin 10:13, and that does not mean what they're saying it does, in my humble interpretation. "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." To me, that's about temptation, not trials. Unless.....hold on.... I think I may have gotten a little revelation just now....lol....maybe 1 Peter 5:10 could mean that. "And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. " Hmmm...Idk, I think the Holy Spirit has just led me to the answer, but add your helpful thoughts, wisdom and biblical knowledge if you'd like to contribute to this post! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!:glow: Post Reply

As if they know anything about it. Then I ask them what the Christian thiong to do is and they start misquoting scripture or sayin the Bible says something that isn't really there. Post Reply

ThunderofGod, that's true (and hilarious). The crazy part is, I encounter some "super christians" who try to do the same thing...:glow: Post Reply

And if an unbeliever or a so-called Christian who is shacking, which some do engage in, as well as having sex outside of marriage... so we must be real... But its all very clear as to what God says in I Corinthians chapter 7, to prevent fornication which is sex outside of marriage, and to include shacking, which is living in sin as a couple who is not married. Pauls says let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband, and shacking sure doesn't provide for such... as the old folk use to say, get your own stuff:ROFL: Post Reply
HolyGhostGirl View Profile History	IT IS NOT IN THE BIBLE! Posted : 19 Apr, 2011 11:01 PM LOL....I know ET. I get it. But like my Pastor said, when he was younger he wanted to fornicate with his g/f (she's now his wife:glow:), but anyway.... He said he used to search the bible all over trying to find something that would give him the "ok" to do it...lol...That's funny to me because I think we have all done something similiar at some point in time before we were walking this walk. Or maybe I'm the only one. That's cool, I'll take that. I guess when I say specific, I mean something that says DO NOT SHACK UP! It's so many ppl who need it cut and dry. But yes, I agree with all of the responses and for the record, again....SHACKING UP IS NOT RIGHT! DON'T DO IT! Post Reply
View Profile History	IT IS NOT IN THE BIBLE! Posted : 20 Apr, 2011 01:40 AM HolyGhostgirl, I'll have to respectfully disagree with you. The Scripture I posted DOES cover shacking up 100%. If one looks for loop holes, they can rationalize anything.....Thou shall not steal, ....Oh, what does the Bible say about borrowing something and never giving it back? I mean it doesn't really come out and say you shouldn't Oh, Please, give me a break!...lol Post Reply

Posted : 20 Apr, 2011 07:56 AM Right 2sparrow, a person is either joined together in married living as a married couple and having sex, or they are shacking (living together) as a couple fornicating/committing adultery in sin. There ain't no way around it whether there is a scripture that directly says it or not. If they are not married, that scripture enough to point to sin. God means what He says in His word, and says what He means. And there ain't no justification for immoral sins in this matter, trying to bring about the sanctification of shacking.. Paul says let them marry and live together as a couple, not let them shack together and give the APPEARANCE of married as a couple... Post Reply

I DO NOT BELIEVE IN SHACKING UP! I know what the word of God says, I'm just saying it's not specifically listed. That's all. I see what you mean by the scriptures you pointed out covering the issue. I get that. I read that, and I thank you very much. DO NOT SHACK!!!! Post Reply

Posted : 20 Apr, 2011 09:19 AM HGG, you stated soemwhere you were seeking scriptures as a witnessing tool to someone about living in sin... well, of course, I understand you don't belief in shacking up... and no you will not find the phrase in the Bible Thou shalt not shack-up:ROFL:... But to use scripture as a tool in your witnessing, Thou shalt not commit adultery is to include the word shack-up, and is as close as you will get to the phrase "shacking up". And when considering the story of the woman at the well, and all that Jesus and Paul have said about sexual immorality as being fornication and adultery. I think these scriptures should be enough for anyone saint or sinner to know and understand what God thinks, and that He is dispelased with sexual immorlaity, and that getting married should be the answer.
