I have a problem I can't solve.

I know what you are talking about. I worked in Korea a number of years ago. The culture places great respect for authority figures & discourages questioning these same authorities. I don't know if there are others in your area that you can meet with regularly for study. That would be one avenue. She could build a relationship & trust between others & herself & which would encourage her to believe more. Maybe you can start such a meeting. The problem is that what we believe is the antithesis of everything taught in the church which is why it needs to come by revelation. To understand the concept that everything we have believed previously is wrong & to cope with the idea of wasted time & opportunity is a massive enough trauma to go through for someone who speaks english & can read the evidence. You're in a tough place my friend. Don't be hard on her. Try to show it more than say it. Easy to say I know, but I don't know what else to say to encourage you with.

God Bless

Dear Wepnx0916,

This is my opinion and based on my own life experiences but I have felt for a long time that when you are joined and have become one with another, that God honors this relationship by giving you like-minds. I have found over the 17 years with my husband that God will give one or the other of us a new truth and the other one comes along in time. As a wife, I have found that by allowing God to lead him, my husband comes around faster than if I try to convince him on my own. I have always come to be in agreement with him as well when he "gets it" first.
The longest time I can remember was when God gave me a heart for adoption and it took a year before my husband had the same heart.
So my advise is to give her what information you can and be patient. If she is not receptive, give God some time to work on her without your help.  ;)
