Jesus on Marriage

Dale Murrish blogs about history, travel, technology, religion and politics. His latest two blogs about the bible and what it says about marriage have garnered a lot of attention.

Having recently started a word-by-word translation of Martin Luther’s Bible from German to English,Murrish posted Instructions for Marriage from the Creator, which generated more than 130 comments.

In it he posts,"Since there is confusion about what the Bible teaches about marriage, I’m posting my translation of Chapter 19, where Jesus, the Son of God, who was with the Holy Spirit and the Father in the beginning, gives positive instructions for marriage."

He followed that post up last week by sharing Jesus on Marriage - Original Intent.

Raised in the United Methodist Church, Murrish helped plant Troy’s Kensington Community Church in 1990. He was ordained an Orthodox Presbyterian Church deacon in 2001 after a year’s training in the Westminster Catechism and church history. Now a member of a large evangelical church, he has an appreciation for all branches of the historic Christian faith (Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant) and other faiths which share many of the same principles. He supports freedom of religion and defends the open forum for all beliefs that America has long enjoyed.

Murrish is a Troy resident since 1988 and works in the GMPT Cranktrain Analysis department analyzing piston pins and crankshafts.
