Why is this cringe, though? They're not arguing something countless artists haven't; they're just using their Bible as a reference to support the argument.
Arguing anything on the basis of the Bible (or any religious text) is pretty cringe.
Huh. I'd expect that take from an #athiest community. I don't think this is an "anything having to do with religion is cringe" community.
The use of the word "slavery" is strange, but there are plenty of Christians who took this view of marriage. The Quakers pretty much died out because they believed celibacy was better than marriage.
I viewpoint more religious people should take. I prefer it to the quiverfull nutjobs
It very clearly says that marriage is okay.
The context of those passages, as I recall, is basically that "Jesus is gonna come back any second now, so don't bother with worldly concerns like marriage and making babies. Just devote your life to being a good Christian and leave the fornicating to the heathens, unless you absolutely can't live without getting laid on the regular." It's hard to understate the degree to which the early church was basically a doomsday cult. They were certain that the Rapture was going to happen in their lifetimes, and that short time horizon had a big impact on how they thought their society should be organized.
Yeah, he says "look buddy, you can do it if you want, but I'm telling you right now, you won't enjoy the trouble it brings you".
Which is basically what my drunk divorced friend told me before I got married...
But if sex is only allowed between married partners, how does the religion not die out? 🤔 /s
Well, okay then, talk about out of context assumption.
