Husbands and Wives

Samson:
Hello again, Everyone,

                               Thankyou Bradigans for the Scriptural counsel, I know of all these Scriptures you mentioned in your last Post, realizing Gods' Spirit needs to dwell in me in order to accomplish these things. In my case, their is a war going on inside of me between the flesh(Carnality) and the Spirit. Your right about the " trying" aspect, I should have said I " desire" to be a good Husband and my wife will say that I am a good Husband. As expressed earlier, in other posts, Its' evident to me that God is training me and purifying me with these experiences regarding Marriage(Hebrews. 12:7-11). I hope and pray that its' Gods' Will that things are different this time around. Insofar as Roles, My wife is the main Bread winner, handles the computer, handles some of the finances, we share the cooking, I do most of the cleaning, including the bathroom and kitchen, the laundry is about even, I do most of the dish washing and clean the litter pan. I'm better in Math and handle most of the finances and do our taxes. We support and complement each other quite well.

                             Whether or not, my Marriage is successfull, only God knows and if its' his Will, the better for us. Ray teaches at this BT Site that many are called and only a few are chosen, in my case, I believe I'm called, but not chosen. Whether or not this happens in my lifetime, only time will tell, I'm certainly not going to sit around and worry about it or be presumptuous to consider myself chosen at this time. I know that I'm at this Site for fellowship and don't want or desire any Church Organization type fellowship, for me, this is the best place to be and thanks for helping me to focus on the Scriptures presented in this discussion.

                         Thankyou Arcturus for the helpfull hint about saving my post(ctrl z), last night I was watching the weather channel and they mentioned one of the Stars of the Big Dipper being Arcturus or maybe it was the little Dipper, whatever the case, I never knew that before.

                          Well, its' time for me to retire from this thread and head elsewhere, now that I'm finally off from work, its' time to re-read Rays Free-Will Series.

                                         Your Brother in Christ, Samson(Brad)

Hi Sampson

The Star Arcturus is found in one of the 88 Constelations. I can not confirm that it is in the Big or Little Dipper but here is what I found: http://starryskies.com/The_sky/constellations/



Boötes is one of the 88 Constelations.

Quote:
Mythology
Boötes has a variety of myths and legends connected with it. .... Arcturus, the brightest star in the constellation has a great deal of information connected with it. it was known as the "Watcher" and by the Arabs and the "Keeper of the Heavens." To the Shawnee Indians of the southeast US, Arcturus represented a great hunter known as White Hawk.

For the Observer
 The Stars of Spring

Alpha Boötes, Arcturus ( 14h 16m +19° 11') is one of the oldest stars in the universe, a member of what astronomers refer to as Population II stars. These stars are have only traces of elements other than hydrogen and helium, indicating they were formed when there were few other elements available in the universe. With a magnitude of -0.1, Arcturus is the fourth brightest star in the sky. It is a giant yellow K2 class star, only 36 light years distant.

So I am not so far out after all ;D :)

Peace to you brother

Arcturus :)

Bradigans:
Stay in THE WORD dear brother. Remember what our Lord Jesus said in conjunction to Hebrews 12:7-11.

 - Luke 9:62 - No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

God bless you!

IN HIS LOVE 

Gregor:
Greetings,
This has always been one of my favorite scriptures on how God treats His bride:
Ezekiel 16:8-14
8 “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,” says the Lord GOD.
9 “Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil. 10 I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk. 11 I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your wrists, and a chain on your neck. 12 And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head. 13 Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and succeeded to royalty. 14 Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord GOD.

Now I'm no king and my gifts can't compare, but this is what I would aspire to treat my wife like. Gender aside, this is also talking about how God treats me spiritually. When I consider that Christ loved us while we were yet sinners, it makes me think that in the natural it is my duty as a husband to initiate the expression of love (and I'm not referring to the physical act, but the emotional aspect) regardless of the wife's actions or responses.

1Pet.3:7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

The key to this verse for me is to remember that we are heirs together. As God so treated me, I too should follow His example in treating my wife. Anyways, lots of good posts. Thanks to all.

Blessings,
G.
