Gilbert Beebe’s Biblical View Of Marriage
“The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth, and the husband is bound by the law to his wife as long as the wife liveth. And, that a bill of divorcement legally obtained may in the eye of our civil code disannul a former marriage contract so that, as far as the civil law is concerned, the parties may contract to live in adultery and their issue be legal. But the Bible gives them no such liberty, nor has the God of heaven given any authority to any earthly legislature to divide asunder what God has joined together.”
(Gilbert Beebe – September 15, 1840 – “The Law of Marriage”)
“We have ever refused to perform the marriage service in any such case where there was a living wife or a living husband. And, we should assume, connive directly at, or countenance the sin of adultery as to do so.”
(Gilbert Beebe – September 15, 1840 – “The Law of Marriage”)
