ept fewer or more of these customs depending on their faith. Furthermore, suppose that it doesn't divide out even between the sexes; say that some men will take the high end and some women the low. Won't we have to either violate Romans 14 by forcing a weaker sister to violate her conscience or a stronger brother to cancel his liberty, or else prevent the possibility of marriage altogether as their practices are incompatible with each other?
<A Christian has a Bible as a guidebook to his love life. Nonchristians are not expected to be following it, so you'll have to make with them whatever arrangements work for you. Expect them, however, to respect your limit to hold off on having sex with you until marriage.

The King James Version of 1611 was made when marriage was more biblical, although by the same token more old fashioned. Our new and improved English versions were made by translators of our own times and so perhaps less biblical. You can't have your cake and eat it too. I use the KJV.

Starting in Genesis, Adam was interested in the woman God had made for him; he saw where she came from and what she was for. Therefore a man should leave father and mother to cleave to his woman, and the twain shall become one flesh. The leaving and cleaving is what we call going out, spending some time together as a couple. Becoming one flesh is biblical terminology for marriage, what happens there.

As Christians we're obligated by Romans 14 to avoid "doubtful disputations" but get along with other Christians who behave differently. If, say, we have a stronger faith that allows us to do things which a weaker brother's conscience would not permit, we are to happily have our own faith quietly to ourselves, not putting a stumbling block in the weaker brother's way. The weaker brother on his part is not to go out of his way to find something to judge the stronger brother for.

First Corinthians 7 instructs that single brothers and sisters be permitted to marry. There is necessarily a courtship stage before marriage, so it's expected there will be various courtship customs develop. Suppose Christians of various levels of faith accept fewer or more of these customs depending on their faith. Furthermore, suppose that it doesn't divide out even between the sexes; say that some men will take the high end and some women the low. Won't we have to either violate Romans 14 by forcing a weaker sister to violate her conscience or a stronger brother to cancel his liberty, or else prevent the possibility of marriage altogether as their practices are incompatible with each other?
