In Matthew 2:23 it says "And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene."
In Psalm 40:6 we read, "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required."
Our ladies are doing a book study and the other day the book stated that the great cloud of witnesses were watching us. I disagreed.

What does God say about premarital relations? Also, will God send a man a wife or are you totally alone in this process. Please show me where to look in the Bible.
I have four friends who are couples and they have a live-in arrangement with their respective partners. They are all not married. Can you please help me reprove their immoral behavior, using Scripture and sound advice, in a firm yet gentle manner?
