I have a friend who is a ""BELIEVER"" in
every single thing the Bible Says!
ALL OF IT!!
He recently married a Pentecostal Christian
woman, and she goes to Church, gives tithe
offering, and listens to almost nothing but
Christian songs.
However, she has a computer that she bought
before marrying my friend, and she has told
him that it is hers, and not his, because
she bought it prior to their marriage.
She has also said that she doesn't want him
or anyone else using her pc because it cost
her $600.oo, even though he gave her kids
his pc immediately after moving in that he paid
$150.oo for.
He has tried explaining to her that there is
no "I" in marriage under God/Jesus, but rather
there is "we", and there should be nothing
that is claimed by either of them as "mine".
In fact, even this woman's pastor told her
right in front of my friend that she needs to
change the "I" to "we" because she is married
now.
According to my friend, he says she is still
not budging. He says she is letting him use it
now, but he is NOT ALLOWED to download anything.
""NOT ALLOWED?????????"" :ick: :ick:
Is that how she should be thinking??
He is ready to divorce her because he believes
that the Bible does not mince words when It States
that man and wife are to submit to one another
IN ALL THINGS!!
Ephesians - Chapter 5:21-33 {NLT}
Spirit-Guided Relationships: Wives and Husbands
21 And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. 24 As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her 26 to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word. 27 He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault. 28 In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself. 29 No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church. 30 And we are members of his body.
31 As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.” 32 This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one. 33 So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Can anyone here dispute this??? And can you
offer me any advice for my friend, please??
tyvm! :swoon:
