Getting Married w/ out a Piece of Paper:It says in the Bible that "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh", so does that mean they don't need a minister or marriage license? [Matthew 19:5]
Birth Pains, Signs of the Times, the End not yet:Can't we know that we are near the end of the world because of the Signs of the Times we are seeing, the Birth Pains, that Jesus said would be increasing, & didn't He say to watch for them, but that the end is NOT quite yet anyway?
