A long awaited return
gmik:
Hi Beth..just wanted to welcome you back and tell you I remember you. I will keep you in prayer...God Knows your predicament...Trust Him and put Him first. Love ya, gena
Kat:
Hi Beth,
I am so glad to see your back :)
Of course you do not want to have problems in your marriage, your situation calls for a lot of tact. But you do have the spirit for guidance.
Paul does have something to say about this.
1Co 7:10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband.
v. 11 But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.
v. 12 But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her.
v. 13 And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him.
v. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
v. 15 But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace.
v. 16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
You know maybe you are so bogged down in your plight that you can't see how to get out. Also consider beyond your immediate circumstances and try and look at the big picture. Sometimes if you look ahead it will help you put things into perspective. Don't forget we all will have to stand before Christ and give account. Your husband will not be there and you will have to answer for your own actions. I recognize that your situation is indeed a difficult one, but your husband is deceived and in bondage. You have seen the light and are no longer in darkness, you need to embrace the light. I believe Jesus Christ's spirit in you will guide you in what to do, you just have to listen to that little voice whispering to you.
I will pray for you and I hope that you will feel the strength of Christ in you and know He will get you through whatever is ahead :)
mercy, peace and love
Kat

Hi Kat,
Thanks for bringing up Those Scriptures in 1st Cor 10: 7-16. In trying to discuss this with my wife and not using e-sword i just could not bring it to mind.
And Beth, yes i agree with Kat in all her words to you, as they are also speaking to me.
george. :)
Ninny:
I just want to say AMEN to all of that! Kat, that is some great advice. George I am praying that you can say the right things to your sweet wife. Peace to you, and Beth I am praying for your peace of mind and that God will show you what you are to do!
Love you guys!
Kathy :)

I feel confident that if I were to lose all contact with B-T--even if my bible was taken away--that I could not be forced or persuaded to believe again the major lies of Babylon.]
That's just it. I'm not going back. I think I actually tried to forget about it and give this fight up, and resign myself to the fact that I was wrong and they were right. I told myself that I was twisted and turned in my mind, and did not know what the truth really was. That did not work. I know the truth, and I CAN"T go back, even if I want to!! The truth is so much more glorious and liberating than any ideas that have come out of babylon. I have real joy-it's really real. The truth brings that joy so easily to me. I'm in awe of who God really is. Knowing who He is changes everything. I could go on and on probably, but I won't- ;). I am just so glad to be here! Thank you for praying for me. God is working it all out-I just have to trust Him.
Beth

Welcome home Beth, it is hard when you think you aren't honoring your husband. We must Trust though and obey God's calling. I finally had to do this myself with my hubby. He remains in church and still ask me if I'm going with him today? I have to say No and I do. He loves me uncondionally and is kind and doesn't say anything to make me feel like he thinks I'm nuts. ;)
George,Kat,Marlene, Kathy, Dave gave all the advice anyone could give ,so just hang in there and we'll be praying for you. We all need these prayer's and so I pray for each one that replied to your post and I am ecouraged,knowing they pray for me.
with love your sister, meee
