We hit a few topics that may or may not be where everyone is.

Primary thing that I as the teacher wanted to convey throughout the whole thing: every Old Testament reference of two people not being able to live together is a reference of God talking about Israel. It is not giving any reference or frame of reference for why two should not live together unless the New Testament confirms it. Additionally, it is on the basis that
- when we have Holy Spirit empowerment
- when we are saved by grace through faith
- when our lifeline isn't just the one we married but also the Body of Christ

..then we have no excuse to say "well, it's in the Old Testament, so that gives me enough reason to separate".

It is not something I say happily.. When Tenisha and I were first married, we would compare with each other the types of sin we regularly enjoyed entertaining and then thanked God for repentance. WE WERE STUPID!! But God redeemed us from the curse of so many things. That God redeemed us from so much is to be a testimony for every other person who comes into the group wondering "how is God going to be able to help me?"
