Subject: Should I leave, or stay? |
Bible Note: Beja 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 Paul is addressing in verse 11 the part if a spouse leaves. There are reasons a wife would leave. Paul clearly stresses for separated partners to be reconciled. With that in mind examine a reason a christian wife would want to separate from her husband. This would be under the assumption her husband was a christian. There is no Scripture that says a husband or wife must stay living under the same roof with an abusive, drunken, unsafe, spouse. Can you support Scripture saying a spouse is allowed to be abusive to the other partner? I say this with respect and kindness Beja. In my ministry I have seen far too many wives submit to husbands who demanded "Biblical Submition". These men were not examples of a christian husband in any way. Those abusive husbands demanding submition, were involved in drunkeness, drug addictions, and physical abuse to the point of endangering the entire family. Wives and children have endured sexual violence and trauma that have life long physical, emotional and spiritual damage. I know of no place in the Bible that condemns a wife or children to such hell on earth. If anyone thinks a minister can be aware of abuse and not report it to the proper authorities, then they are in violation of the laws of our land. Slavery was outlawed in the nineteenth century. I am dogmatic on these points. Blessings. justme |
