Bible Question:
Hi Tim, Thanks for your input. But what about #2 (staying in an abusive marriage)? Couldn't that be done "consciously and willingly, seeking mortification of the flesh" as well? Not to mention that the Bible doesn't say anything about nursing homes, but it does tell us that the Lord "hates" divorce. --Cheryl |
Bible Answer: While it is true that God Hates Divorce, my feelings are that He would hate the wife getting beat up More than He would hate divorce |
