women's role

Remember faithful1 even God divorced Israel for a timeIt appears to me you have accepted your part in the failed relationship and are trying to stay in his word. It is not the unforgivable sin. So in Gods eyes if you repented it is forgotten. You just need to have enough faith to believe he has forgiven you,so forgive yourself and keep truckin girl.
Kliss, I realize I am not much of good communicator. I am very happy with my walk with Jesus and we now have big happy family. Jesus is blessing me with my three committed children. Only my oldest son is following his father's step; he is also halfhearted christian.I only meant this thread to encourage people to follow your own instinct which is coming from Holy Spirit making decisions. I also would like to add that we have confidence making decision only if we are doing our best to follow Jesus.:angel1:

Faithful1, I do not feel forced to be here. This is a community forum, and I understand that I have the right to remain out of a conversation as well as be a part of it.
I don't know, writer. It seems you can nit-pick whthout end.
Christ is very clear in Matthew 5 that there is only one justifiable reason for divorce, and that is adultery.
Well, for starters, we aren't divorced: just separated. And anyway, I believe porn hobby is adultery enough, especially when he has no intention of stopping. Do you disagree?Besides, we should use common sense if our marital problems is stumbling block for our kids' spiritual health and growth. we don't have right to sacrifice kids for our ill relationship. Marriage and family is so complicated. All I want to convey to women is not to let anyone intimidate their dicision because they are the only ones who knows exactly what is going on. Outsiders should not judge others' decisions.
What does everyone here think of Ephesians 5, provided in a previous post? If the wife wants to honor the Lord, she must honor her husband by being submissive to him. This is clear teaching in the Word of God, not my own ideas.
Do you know that husbands have more responsiblity than wives? Marriage is a two-way street.
One's instincts are not impulses from the Holy Spirit... I am curious as to where such teaching is found within the Word of God? We are commanded to keep His word, not follow our instincts, and I am unaware of any teaching or leading of the Holy Spirit outside of the Word of God.
This is between My God and me, my freind. How do you know my instincts are not from the Holy Spirit? If I am lying or wrong about this I am the one who will be paying for it, and not anyone else. why would I want to damage my relashonship with my Lord??? I can trust people who are striving to obey all Jesus' teachings. Even though they are not perfect, I can trust them.

Acts 4:8 And when they had summoned them, they commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge; 20 for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard." 21 When they had threatened them further, they let them go (finding no basis on which to punish them) on account of the people, because they were all glorifying God for what had happened; 22 for the man was more than forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed
This sure is encouraging passage for His disciples.

Faithful1, does your husband believe in Jesus as his Savior?
He believes Jesus is Son of God and Savior of the world but he does not believe he has to follow Jesus to be saved. He is not showing any evidence of being Jesus' follower. I believe this kind of faith is blasphemous. He is not unusual case though. I know many, many churches don't make sure their congregation knows what it takes to follow Jesus.

So, then, it is a work based salvation that you believe in?
Writer, noone is saying that!!!! do you know that I have thread focussed on exactly what you are asking? I will look it up for you. what is your denomination?

Writer,the thread I am talking about is "Salvation by works?"

(writer4hisglory;10135)
I will try to find time to look up the thread that you are referring to, Faithful1.
thank you
I claim no allegiance to any denomination, but I do attend a Baptist Church, and went to a Baptist College, I reckon that people would say that should make me a Baptist. Perhaps.
so you follow baptist theology. I was guessing you were either presbitarian or baptist. But baptists are very aggressive and suffer from superiority complex IMHO. forgive me if I sound judgemental but that's the impresssion they always give me.
From Betchevy's post, I am well aware of the air of frustration that is about me and anything that I say now. I do not mean to be rude, and Faithful1, please, believe me when I say I am not attacking you, nor do I speak condescendingly to you or anyone else on this board, for that matter. (Just a side note.)
Actually I am very surprized at this forum. Most forums are just like you about my convictions.
Faithful1, if salvation is not obtained by works, then how is it that we must live rightly in order to keep it?
Why do you ignore Jesus' warnings? Why does he repeated tell His followers about importance of being faithful servants?
I am not advocating a life of debauchery, for we must all give an account to God for the life that we live 1 Cor 3:15. But we are not judged to determine the punishment, for Christ has already taken all of that punishment upon Himself, Romans 8:1, even the punishment for the sin that your husband finds himself ensnared in.
He did not sacrifice Himself for us to have license to sin.
My goal is not to defend the Word of God, but to let the Word of God defend itself. If someone comes up to you and says that you can never lose your salvation, your immediate response should be, as is mine, "What does the Word of God have to say about that?" That is all I am trying to do.
Do you realize that OSAS theology is making God and Jesus such hypocritical and disgracing them? this is just common sense, writer. We ought to be godly witnesses for Jesus otherwise. Who would listen to us if we are no different than world? When the theology is not in line with God's character it is not of God and Biblical.
