Help finding some kind of Peace married to an athiest

Bev:
First of all, I don't know anything anymore than anyone else, but I hope you don't mind me chiming in. I hope I don't sound like them guys back in Job with their advice. That is the three guys besides Elihu (Job 32:6). I don't know what it is I'm doing here, but it's not really to give advice or maybe it is. I'm not sure. 

Anyway you had made a certain statement that scripture contradicts itself.

I think you made this statement in regard to such scriptures such as Matthew 19:29 and 1st Corinthians 7:12-15.

Now, I'm not certain whether or not this is scriptural or simply my personal opinion, but I believe when it comes to the bible, there is no contradiction. The reason I say this is because I believe it's all about your heart being open to the will of the holy spirit. He's the one that guides us into all truth (John 16:13). You see one thing over there in Matthew and another over in 1st Corinthians, and what are you to think. I don't think you should think anything. Proverbs 20:27 says - The spirit (heart and not the head) of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. Another thing I would like to bring when you see one thing over there and another over here as far as contradiction is that this simply shows that the SPIRIT isn't bound to any creed or code of conduct. I don't think you can expect to always be politically correct when being led by THE SPIRIT (Matthew 10:37-38). If you've been reborn, regenerated and received the Holy Ghost, then follow your heart. It's not about what I or anybody else thinks. It's really not even about what you think. That's where our problems come in (Hebrews 4:12). My opinion is that (the mind) may be where the battle is won also.

You have got to get into prayer through the word and do some heart and soul searching. God is going to lead you through your heart. Again, it's not about what's right for me. You've got to be open to the promptings of the Holy Ghost. Read the bible and some of Ray's articles and pray for guidance. There's good support over here at this forum. I hope this isn't to long. I'm not trying to teach. Who am I?

IN CHRIST,

Bev

     

Matthew 19:29 - And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

Just think: God put you with your unbelieving husband, so you have nothing to worry about!

Just like God put me with a wonderful person, but one who: 1. believes wholeheartedly in the rapture and can't wait for it 2. believes in human free will 3. believes the unsaved to go "hell" for "eternity" and other nonsense. It does me no good to try to convince him these things are wrong and it does me no good to argue Bible truth...he simply cannot see it! Just like your man...he simply cannot see it (not does it help when the minions of Christendom's heresy spout nonsense such as "if Jesus were alive he'd be a Republican" and other nonsense, or geocentrism or warmongering)! It is to God's pleasure, part of His plan. So I don't think the "unequally yoked" thing is something that should bother you the way it has. Hope this helps.--Deb aka snorky

Thanks Snorky! (DEb) That DOES help!  When life is out of my control and I'm worried to death, knowing that does help.

It's going to take a while for me to UNlearn all the falsehoods of the "traditional" christian beliefs I was taught.
Thanks for the support....I'm going to keep asking and searching till it all sinks in I hope to find Peace here.
