REGARDING:
” the law declared it illegal for men and women to “lewdly and lasciviously associate and cohabit together” without being married. ”

It used to be legal to be lewd and lascivious if you did so with your spouse?

The sheriff forced one of my many great uncles to marry because he was being lascivious with Aunt Alice. (Either that or because she was not being exclusive in her lasciviosness with the sheriff.) Looking back, Uncle Leonard should have just paid the fine.

One day a lot of folks are going to say, I wish I had listened to that Man of GOD, when he knocked on my door to share the Gospel of Christ with me, and I laughed at him and slammed the door in his face, Or when someone invited me to church in isle #7 at Walmart, and I laughed and said I don’t need your religion. Life is short and brief, we only have one chance to get it right, and then their is eternity.

There is separation of church and state enough said.

The reason this was made a law, way back when, was to protect society and children from the inevitable outcome of immorality. That wisdom has been thrown so far out the window, to even bring it up in today’s world invites scorn (I’m sure some folks will post on here how ridiculous this very posting is). NOW…look at our society. People are more miserable, angry, frustrated, and splintered apart than at any other time in our nation’s history. Our presidential election this year is a complete joke…look at who’s running (not all are a joke, but the two front runners…well). There is a link, and anyone honest enough to see it will learn from it.

The law should be removed for it was unenforceable and general society had too many instances where it didn’t make sense. As to the ‘good book’ one read of Deut. 22: 28-29 sort of shows that our preconceptions outweigh the reality. it is the reason all the ’sanctity of marriage’ is related more to our current image of marriage than the way it was only a hundred years ago.

All laws that are no longer actively enforced should be abolished.
They still exist so that if nothing else, you can be arrested and charged with a crime.
We are all law breakers because somewhere there is a law that says you are a criminal.
Like wearing a skimpy bathing suit on the beach is totally fine.
But stroll down a sidewalk in the same outfit downtown and you get a citation for disturbing the peace, etc.
Sad but true.

A marriage license and vows do not a marriage make. Commitment, dedication, trust, respect, care, companionship and of course a man and woman sharing a life will form an inseparable bond.

In addition, survival will always win the battle for so many in our world of today.

I totally agree with Ted. The law may say it’s ok, but in God’s eyes it is not. And one day we will all have to answer to God. No getting out of it. People, all ages, would rather live together so their “SSI checks, disability checks, social security checks, Medicare checks or Medicaide checks” don’t get taken away or reduced. You need to get married and trust God to take care of you…..he will!

It’s as if good values and morals have been thrown out the window. I know in the good book it is illegal. Mans law does not compare to the Lord’s law.
