I was just reading my dictionary, and for marriage it says:
the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments;
the legal or religious ceremony that formalizes the decision of a man and woman to live as husband and wife;
the formal declaration or contract by which act a man and a woman join in wedlock.
Obviously Webster must be a bigot. Are *** activists planning a boycott yet? Will it include all reference materials, or just the “tough parts”?
Kyle - what are you talking about?? Moses married a Cushite thousands of years ago. Where do you do your research?
While I’m thinking about it…Boaz married a Moabite, David a Hittite, Rahab was a Canaanite….I could go on
Kyle - Regardless, I am not seeing that in the dictionary. You are missing my point I think. I just want to make sure I am not referencing bigot materials. Do I need to throw out my dictionary or what?

And marriage only use to be between people of the same race. Definitions change all the time.
Not that long ago in our legal system, white people and black people could not get married. Hence, the definition of marriage changed.
I think you’re missing the point. My dictionary lists 5 definitions, one of which states a union between a man and a woman. Definitions change, and if your dictionary only states marriage as a union between a man and woman, then yes, you should throw it out because its outdated.
Sure, I learned a lot from Fundi’s on how to boycott literature. I am going to burn it, ban it and preach against it.
Gays could get married long before Christianity came along.
In Rome, China, France, etc.
As of right now *** marriage is still an unrecognized institution so it wouldn’t make sense for them to do that.
Do you use a dictionary first constructed in the 19th century? Did you know they make newer editions with adaptations when necessary?
What now, are dictionaries a liberal conspiracy? Will you boycott the newer editions when they are changed?
EDIT: Wow, with all that racial intermarrying going on in the Bible, then this “Christian Nation” never did have laws on it’s book clear up until the 1960s outlawing *********** marriage, huh? And when a white Baptist minister warns a white and black couple that they are “unequally yoked”, he’s just being un-Biblical, huh?
Suddenly, I can think of another book that could use a re-edit…
Changing everything written does not make it honorable. Marriage is between a man and his wife and the only place *** is honored. In any other way it is a sin.
Hi bro, when you say pro *** advocates do you mean this has a organisation or as a church?
If as a organisation they should do what ever they feel that they have vision.
As the church we should support individuals and in active relationship in the ‘family’ and in building the Kingdom of God here on earth. (Lords prayer).
Webster was not a bigot he as far as I know was a scholar and made the dictionary from definitions of the bible, so how can these words be bigoted? We made need to review our minds at times.
Shalom
