My wife

Hey everybody,

So I still go to "church" with my wife.  It's getting more difficult for me to keep my comments to myself when the "pastor" is talking.  Basically what I do is give her versus that contradict what the "pastor" just mentioned.  What I didn't realize is that I have been doing this every time we went to "church".  And believe me I have been discussing with my wife abouth the truths I have found in the Word of God thanks to bible-truths and to God opening up my eyes.  Well yesterday was like a boiling point and my wife finally said that now she feels negative every time she goes to church with me.  I have mentioned email discussions I have had with both head "pastors" as well.  The email discussions proved that these men were contradicting Gods word (Free Will and Eternal Hell). 

I can tell she is suffering.  She has been a carnal Christian all her life.  I can tell she is confused and hurt.  This makes me feel like oh man, am I doing the right thing?  Then a second guess my self and all my hours of study in Gods Word.  Like, have I been bamboozled?  Is Ray rightly dividing Gods Word?  Ahhhh it is such a difficult thing knowing Truth!  But then I step back and really pray and in my heart I know that Hell and Free Will are so against what the Word of God says.  These two truths have been such a powerful eye opener for me.  I am still new to all this.  I have to tell myself to trust God and in the end, He will bring about His BEAUTIFUL PLAN: SAVE ALL MANKIND!

Ok sorry for the long post.  Please pray for my wife and I.  Maybe if anyone has some pointers for me, that would be awesome!  I am thinking stop saying things in "church" and just wait for my wife to ask ME questions.  Anyway, Gods Peace guys and thanks for reading!

Being 'not married' I can only imagine what you are going through.  But I think your THOUGHTS are leading you in the right direction.

" I am thinking stop saying things in "church" and just wait for my wife to ask ME questions." 

Oddly, that what Ray continually reminded 'us' that Scripture says we do.   :D  Maybe you've preached enough with Scripture and words until she herself is 'hungry and thirsty'.  Be a good husband and love your wife as Christ loved the church.  Her future with Him is just as sure as yours.  Do that, and any doubt in her heart about the wisdom and goodness of God will be illuminated with an example from you.

To me that which I underlined is what you have to keep doing and God will lead you in the right direction. Keep giving yourself plenty of spiritual food from the Word of God and stay close to God in pray and that will keep the doubts away.

John 6:51  I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats [consume, take in] of this [spiritual] bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My [spiritual] flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world."

John 6:57  As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds (consumes) on Me [the Word] will [spiritual] live because of Me. [My additions in brackets]

mercy, peace and love

Hi Jordan,

 Is it possible for you to not go to church with her anymore? Since it is difficult for you, and makes her feel negative, maybe it would be better for both if you didn't accompany her...and wait for her to ask about the hope that lies within you. (Or perhaps it is good that she's "feeling negative"...maybe that is the start of her feeling negative about what the church teaches. But that's not the vibe I got from your e-mail.)

 Either way, be a good husband to her, even if she does not yet embrace these truths. She will someday, in this age or one that is coming.  8)

Dave in Tenn,

I love what you said: until she herself is 'hungry and thirsty'.  That is so true!  Thanks brother...and I will!

Kat,

You are so right when you say keep on feeding on that spiritual food!  I just got to keep close to God!  Thank you Kat!

Extol,

I have felt that way too, in not going to "church" anymore.  I have to pray about that.  It is soooo hard for me, let me tell ya!

I think my wife feeling negative about the "church" is a GOOD thing too.  You are right man. That's what I went through when God first opened my eyes. Again, I just to show her my (Gods) GOOD WORKS and just be a good husband, simple as that.  Thanks brother for your words! 


GODS PEACE,
Jordan
