2463 | Is a woman to "obey" her husband? | Eph 5:22 | justme | 125314 | ||

2464 | A Godly reason for disobeying husband | Eph 5:24 | justme | 224535 | ||
Madrina: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! We are to obey the Word of God. If a husband demands you to do something immoral, or illegal you are justified in saying no. Your first love and responsibility is to the Lord, then to your husband. A true man of God will not ask you to disobey God and His Word. As a Christian we are totally the opposite of a Muslim woman, who would have no choice in such circumstances. If this is a real situation you are asking about contact your Pastor, your families, or other Christians who have imput in his life. A woman is never hopeless or helpless. Blessings. justme |

2467 | how do i convince my wife to follow me | Eph 5:25 | justme | 198586 | ||
valspapa: Your husband leadership style sounds like you are pulling your wife, expecting her to follow. Often men feel because they are the spiritual head of the family what they say is law. That's not what Christ says or excepts. May I suggest you reas Ephesians 5:25 to 33. A better way might be to pray together and ask for the Lord to speak to both of you on this matter. Wait until you both agree on what the Lord is leading you to do. By praying and letting God speak to your wife as well, shows her that you value her as your help mate and lover her enough for her to catch up with your thinking. Wise is the man that takes the time for the rest of the family to catch the vision the Lord has given him. Don't hinder your prayers by not taking your wife as a equal believer whom God speaks too as well. Blessings. justme |

2468 | how do i convince my wife to follow me | Eph 5:25 | justme | 198616 | ||
Valspapa: Brother in Jesus Christ, you have not offended anyone on the forum. Reading your post about offending, I feel you are a stsrving new born in Christ. Am I right? You need to get your wife on board with you. Point out the scriptual errors you believe to be evident at the church and Pastor. She needs to see that your growth is very important to both of you. I in no way wanted to meke you feel anything but welcome here at the SBF. Let us know how this works, and maybe as we pray together we can help. Blessings. justme |

2469 | Bible say about disciplining your wife? | Eph 5:25 | justme | 228906 | ||
Boxbeagle: Welcome to The Study Bible Forum: I Corinthians 13 is the chapter I suggest you to read. As Biblicalman has answered with the Scriptures and my suggestion, should be plenty to go on. Your question is much like a wife asking "what does the Bible say about dicipling your husband?" The marriage relationship is one where we are to love one another, and to be mutial submissive to each other. When the Scripture says the womanis the "weaker" of the two, try saying the word "softer one" that fits much better. Any marriage where the husband has a hard hand is one which is not the way Christ loves the church. No marriage should have a partner that wants to be the boss, we are to be lovers as Christ loves us. Blessings. justme |

2470 | inmorality also if the couple will marry | Eph 5:31 | justme | 63834 | ||
fle: Welcome to the Forum! The question you ask is one which a lot of people really don't know. I admire you honesty and sincerity. How else can you know if you don't ask? I read your note to be that you both have agreed you want to get married. What happens if either of you changes your mind? Does that not make you both immoral? In such a case you both walk away being used, and useing each other. You both have given your verginity away. Should not verginity be saved for the one you will marry? There are no guarantees of a marriage until the wedding has taken place. More than one wedding has ended with only one standing waiting for their beloved to come, only to be left betrayed. That is why after the vows or covenant between to husband and wife, are truly bound only after consumation, that is not only legal but moral. The old testament required sever punishment for sex outside of marriage, death! The New Testament in 1 Corinthians 6:13 to 20, 1 Corinthains 7:2 that its better to marry than bury with lust. Ehesians 5:3, and 1 Thessalonians 4:13. are just a few of many verses that say sex before marriage is immorality. Marriage partners who have sex before marriage have a much greater percentage of divorce than those that do not. This has a deep emotional impact on the woman in years to come. That fact is not just for christians. So you may say we all ready have had sex, what do we do? Stop now. Confess you sin 1 John 1:9 and agree to wait untill you are married. That friend will be a real ture test of love. As a father of three daughters I would ask where is the ring, when is the wedding date. That is after he asked my wife and my permission to marry our daughter. Old fashion? Not at all. You can never go wrong with respect and honesty. Remember these are her parents, you future inlaws, and you will need all the emotional support you can get, to make a marriage work! I pray you will take serious the actions you make from this point on. You can not plead ignorance now. God show you the way. justme |

2471 | next step..? | Eph 5:31 | justme | 63836 | ||
fle: Bornagain, was not saying that you have not sinned! Yes you have joined yourselves in the flesh, which Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:15 to 20 is very specficly, goes totally against your assumption. As I said in a note to you earlier, if you are both born agin, then you have no other option than the stop sexual activity and confess your sin, and wait until you marry. Yes you have experienced the sexual joy of marriage, but with the guilt and emptiness of no comittment. That is pure and simple immorality. Oh I am sure this is a battle, but give this to the Lord and God can work this out in a honorable way, that will restore your relationship with Him and yourselves. I will pray for wisdom for you both. justme |

2472 | inmorality also if the couple will marry | Eph 5:31 | justme | 63967 | ||
EdB:You have correctly and clearly stated a point that is often left out the of reasons sexual intercourse outside of marriage. 1 Corinthians 6:16 says we become one with that person. Oneness is far more than sexual gratification. There is oneness of being totally exposed spiritually, and the giving away of your personhood. When united casually, and using sex for recreation, is making your mind believe what everything contrary to what we know is wrong. What is quite clear, this is one area that Christians seen to be willing to skip over as if there is no consequences for their sin. Over and over the writter of Psalms warns to not fall into the arms of sexual sin. Sex is a powerful drawing, so powerful Pastors that have been strong faithfull men, have fallen, and ruined their family, church, and their future, for a few passing moments of sinful pleasure. I believe men counseling women, and women cunseling men, is wrong! There are some built in dangers, and the protection, for anything that could damage a reputation, must be provided for at all costs. I have known of this happening many times. I never once recall anyone saying "I went into this situation wanting to seduce that person." Most always I have heard "I can't belive it happened to me." By then it is too late. The damage is dome. Sometimes the hurt is so great there is no salvage of anything! That is a too high price for pain that will last a lifetime! There is no such thing as a one night stand. In true actuality it is a lifetime sorrow. What we do sexually needs to be as pleasing to the Lord, Just as any other area of or lives, perhaps even more so. Sex is one area that satan is a tempter that is hard to resist, but God is able to protect us if we but flee such sin. justme |

2473 | Why Rabbi? | Eph 5:33 | justme | 66563 | ||
chris: When I read your note I was in total agreement with you. I was about to mention the same thing to that person until I read your note. I personaly will not address ANYONE by Father or Rabbi, and I am reluctant to call someone PASTOR. or REV. Only the God Almighty has the right to those title of FATHER! Jesus Christ is the one true Rabbi! I often why these titles are used in a forum. Is it to demand respect? Perhaps it is so others will think that with titles it shows spiritual wisdom? We all know Biblical knowledge does not make one spiritual! Nor does a person of prayer need to brag on how God has revield "special revelations". I think you were respectfull and kind, for that is praise worthy. justme |

2474 | Submit . . . unless it hurts? | Eph 5:33 | justme | 66640 | ||
srchng: There is a lot of advice being tossed at you, and your last post was at 2:10am. Wow, and you started at 5:16pm, that's a lot of time invested seeking answers. Do you feel that your husband just might feel neglected when you are up at the computer at 2am? I am not saying the problems are because of you, but it is questionable as to what really is the problem. I know the Forum members who respomded to you, have tried to help. I mean no disrespect, but what if you had spent that same nine hours in prayer and sutdy of the Word in reguards to marriage? I think you might have a clearer direction, and a peace that God brings by seeking His will for you in His Word. May I suggest reading 1 Corinthians 7:1-11 for a short view od leaving your husband. For a more complete understanding read read all 16 chapters. Yes I am serious, it would take only a few hours at most. With reading the complete book you have nothing taken out of contex. This would give you the answers you seek, I am sure! The book of James the first chapter is very helpful. Especially verse 5. There it tells how to get wisdom, which it appears you are needing. By going to the source, the WORD of God you allow the Holy Spirit to lead and instruct you. No matter who give you advise there is one sure way to find real truth that heals, brings comfort and peace, with wisdom. Nine hours in prayer, and study in the Word can move a mountian! Nine hours on the computer is only getting spiritual opinions of humans who do not know you like the Lord does. Read Psalm 139 if that chapter does not convience you that God knows all your ways, and days, nothing ever will. Always go to the LORD first, as He is your Heavenly Father who loves you unconditionaly! I hope this changes your life. justme |

srching: I am not impressed at all!I am glad you found some "meat". I feel like you are acting like a wolf in sheep's skin. If this was a made up situation I do not appreciate this at all. By what you said, it led a lot of forum responders on a wild goose chase. Frankly, I feel rather used and foolish. I do not have time for fun and games on the forum. justme |

2476 | Hank... take this to heart | Eph 6:12 | justme | 105478 | ||
sickhead: I find your note to Hank a sad expression of inmaturity in wisdom, kindness, respect and spirituality. I have made over 1200 posts on this forum, not once have I ever seen even the slightest hint of any of Hanks remarks of being less than expressions of restraint, and expresions of attempting to reach out to people in Christian love. Hanh has not always reaped what he sowed, he deserves praise and honor for his endless effort to be the person overseeing the forum. I am an old pain in the neck, but hank is an Elder spiritually and in age. Hank has earned my respect. However sickmind in 12 posts you have not even scratched to surface in your spiritual wisdom. I mean this very kindly, but with a sincere solid piece of advice, you are sowing what you have reaped. You sowed a bitter post to Hank that does not deserve it, and you need to pray for wisdon, in how to ask for forgiveness. Pray and think about it, this is a time to grow and mature in the Lord Jesus. Peace. justme |

2477 | thank you ... encourager | Eph 6:12 | justme | 105480 | ||
My friend Hank: Jesus said that others will know your love for Him by the way we treat others. (justme paraphrase) I praise Jesus my Lord that He has blessed me and many others by your reminders to keep us on track on the forum. Thank you Hank for your endless and kindness to us because the Lord Jesus is working in you. In the utmost kindness and deepest respect for your fine example, I extend my deepest Christian agape. justme |

2478 | Demon's in people today? | Eph 6:12 | justme | 164498 | ||
In our world today, can you point out a person in the public eye that you might consider Demon posessed? I doubt that some even consider this when we listen to worldly people talk. Are the Demons of today more or less active than in Jesus time on earth? | ||||||
2479 | Asking many to pray for us? | Eph 6:18 | justme | 188869 | ||
Is having many believers pray for a person, more effective that person praying for him or her self? Is not the prayer of believer asking that he or she be in the center of the will God, just as strong. Do we as Christians not understand prayer and feel we need numbers praying to touch the Holy Father? If as Scripture says if we had the faith of a mustard seed we could move mountians, then where we do get we need lots of people praying to get the Lord to do as we ask? justme |

2480 | Trying to help a friend | Philippians | justme | 80927 | ||
dabmci: Philippians was sent to the Philippiams, and this group of verses was a note of following the Severant Attitude of Christ. The passage pretty well speaks clearly. This was good instruction for the Philippians then and is very adaptable for us today. I hope this helps. If not let me know and I will try and be more specfic. Blessings. justme |
