"Is it inconsistant that 2x2 doctrine will recognize marriage performed by those they regard as 'false prophets´ --- but not baptizm -- and definately not the service of these same folks to encourage folks in godliness. " Is there a problem with inconsistency? Why is consistency required? To me, consistency is an ingredient in honesty. Edgar Proverbs 20:10 Diverse weights and diverse measures are both alike an abomination to the LORD.

Consistency is just conformity. But conformity with what? Consistency is just a lack of variety. Whats wrong with variety? Variety certainly isn't dishonest.
Inconsistency is not dishonest, its just different to something else.

There is at least an indirect mention of marriage in Genesis...in describing Adam's reaction to meeting Eve, the author then explains that it is this that causes a man to leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife, which is kind of funny (to me) because this reaction comes on the heels of having sorted through all the beasts and not finding a suitable match. Anyway, the words "husband" and "wife" are used in the creation stories, but not specifically the word "marriage" or "wedding". They were cleaving and becoming one flesh. I wonder what "becoming one flesh" really meant? So where is the religious part of the marriage?
