Bible Question (short): Back to you about Mormon husband |
Question (full): Dear EdB Here are some answers to your questions from your previous e-mail. My husband truly loves the jesus he believes to be the savior. To make a long story short, my husband never felt loved until he went to a Mormon church and they accepted him and loved him. I think this is why he feels so strongly about his religion. Without Mormonism, he might of been dead by now due to the wild lifestyle he was living. Anyway, he said that I have a lifetime to try to convert him. However, he has an answer for everything I try to talk to him about. Unfortunately, he knows the bible better than me and I can't find certain passages to show him. When I do find a passage I want him to look at, he thinks I'm taking it out of context, but I show him what is before and after the passage and he just doesn't see the truth. I asked him to pray and ask for the one and only true holy spirt of God to speak to him and to pray that no other spirit can speak to him. He said he has done this and has asked jesus into his heart, but this hasn't really happened. Is there a way for him to pray to find the real Jesus? It says, seek and ye shall find, but if he doesn't truly believe it, would it still work? I believe that HE THINKS HE IS really asking to have the spirit reveal things to him, but it hasn't changed him. Any thoughts on this? PS. I am in the process of reading Reasoning The Scriptures With Mormons and have read many other books too. I have written my husband several letters as well, but nothing has helped. Am I wasting my time? One last thing, I read in a book and I think in the bible too that a wife is to try to win her husband to God by example, not by words. Could this be a problem? Remember, he does go with me to church when he doesn't have to go to his church (every once in awhile) and he will sometimes go with me to Wednesday night bible studies with me too. Thanks! dat |
