Wepnx0916:
 ??? My wife really needs to read the things posted on *not-allowed* and BIBLETRUTHS but she cannot read English. She is Korean and this is a radical change from what she has learned in church. Part of me thinks she is not ready to hear this, but who am I to determine that? She is very confused from what I try to explain to her and cannot seam to accept it. I have not been the best example for her to follow as I still struggling with sin myself. This is a shock to her because she respects her former pastor. She thinks he's been at this longer than me he must know more that what I'm telling her. This information makes the pastor wrong. What I'm telling her goes against her culture also which is very strong amongst Koreans.

Craig:
If she can understand english then have her listen to some of Ray's audios.

I don't know if this would help but you can translate phrases, documents and websites from English to Korean (or so it says, I tried it but seeing I can't understand Korean I can't say if it worked or not). There is a limit of up to 150 words for the free translator but it seemed like you could click on a little arrow and then it would do the next 150 words and then the next 150 ecetera. Hope this helps.

Hi Wepnx,

It is so wonderful to come to see these truths and have the weight of the false doctrines lifted.  But you do understand that this is only for the few right now and if God is not opening your wife's eyes she just can not understand these things. 
But you certainly can share what you are learning and it may be that God will bless her to also see these things.  But what you need to do is get a really good understanding of some foundational truths.  Ray gave a Bible study on this a few months ago, here are the links to that.

You will see from this Bible study that you can use a few Scriptures to present truths that can not be refuted by the church.  The church teaches things that contradict Scripture and this can not be true, as Christ's Word does not contradict.  So listen to that study and learn these 'foundational' Scriptures truths that you can present to your wife.  You are not trying to help her see what you think is right or what Ray thinks is right, but what is the pure and simple truth of the Scripture  :)

mercy, peace and love

Dear Wepnx,

I just feel that I need to let you know that you're not the only person in this situation.
Personally, I am in the same boat as you. The only difference is that my wife is Chinese.

I don't have the answer you need, but my little advice, from my own experience, might just to be to let your wife move along at her (God's) speed. Of course you can help. I tried to show my wife the contradictions and the obvious. This didn't work - not for her, myself or our marriage. Don't be pushy. Realise that us people, don't respond too favorably too being pushed.

Now, I just share with my wife my feelings about the lies from organised orthodox christianity and ask her how she feels about it. This has been helpful. So, I've turned from trying to teach and show her, to sharing my concerns about the "church" with her. This seems to slowly be bringing her around to speak more about these things and there's been a few times that we've actually agreed on a few points.

But in this PROCESS, I know that God is teaching me about patience and wisdom. Remember, that God is in control.

Brother, I've just prayed for you and your wife and asked God for His will in your lives.

Keep searching after His heart.



I hope this might be in some way helpful to you.

Take care
Paul
