Bible Note: "I agree. However, somehow my Catholic spouse sees his church as being original. Isn't that why the term "protestant" surfaced? I am not toointerested in history. I have enough on my hands struggling with THE TRUTH." Yes, concerning the word protestant...but regardless of the historical claim to being 'original' by the Catholic church, I view the first Christians as the church and they were not 'Catholics'. I am not a historian...but no organization can claim the body of Christ. We are spirit and we are HIS. "But he was still not happy that I am not worshipful in his church. My view is that he need to be concentrating on his own worship and not stand judging my worship or non-worship. *sigh*. I have since proposed an "agree to disagree" stance but he has turned a deaf ear and wants me to taste disunity by being uncommunicative and it is a quiet standoff. *sigh*" My heart goes out to you. This must be very difficult. Might I suggest you pray for God to teach you to demonstrate His love for your spouse. I believe totally in the love of God breaking through any hardened exterior, even religion. As I suggested, begin to pray Cplossians 1 for him every day, and ask for God kind of love to flow through you...God can work a miracle. Kind answers and a gentle spirit! God bless |
