Alan Bright explains why we should ditch this modern concept.
‘Therefore God gave them up…’ is sobering. Romans 1 says that, as people suppress the truth about God, God lets desire run riot — and misery follows.
People suppress God’s truth when it comes to ‘relationships’. And the suppression of truth starts right there, with the very word. In the Bible, there seems to be only two statuses: married or single (there might be a third status: ‘engaged’ or ‘betrothed’ — but that seems temporary and describes a moving from ‘single’ to ‘married’). But we now have this new institution called a ‘relationship’.
