BAB: I am truely sorry about your situation. I know how difficult it is.
Regarding the divorce question: It depends on what you mean by becoming a church member. There are a lot of contraversial religious teachings in denominational Christanity regarding divorce. If your husband divorces you, you have no choice in the matter. Any church organization that would penalize you for that is not worth being a member of. Fanatical religion is far from true Spiritual Christanity. There would be nothing in your senerio which would exclude you from the body of Christ. There are some churches that even God could not be a member of. Jeremiah 3:8, "and I saw that despite the fact that I divorced wayward Israel because of her adultery and gave her bill of divorce to her, unfaithful Judah, her sister, was not afraid; she, too, went and committed adultery." Would God, having divorced Israel be allowed to join the church in question? Blessing to you David |

David,
What on earth are you talking about, saying that God could not be a member of certain churches that disallow divorce? The passage from Jeremiah 3.8 is a metaphorical expression. Israel did not commit adultery in the same way that a husband would commit adultery with his wife. It's just an analogy, David. Jesus himself disallows divorce, so for you to suggest that God thinks it is acceptable is rather confusing to me. Besides, the thrust of all your posts suggests that God and Israel are still "married"!! BAB, I truly sympathize with your situation. Please be in touch with your Elder and know that God's mercy is great and that many, many brothers and sisters in the ACCA will love you regardless of your circumstances! |

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. (II Cor. 4:7-10)

Some Questions.......? | ||

Bab, 1. Are you a born again believer already? 2. Do you love your husband? 3. Will you stay if he says leave.? 4. How submissive are
you? 5. Are you willing to follow your husband? Since I don't know your individual situation I am just guessing at a few things. The Bible speaks about
the wife of an unbelieving husband a few times in the word. Go back and read it. God can be honored if you stand by your man. Other things may be at play
here but I am only going off of what you have written. We have a friend who became a part of our church whose husband said he wanted her to wear the wedding
ring. Our church doesn't do this but people counseled her to disobey her husband. We told her to obey and God changed this man's heart where it
wasn't an issue at all. In the future he may even come to Christ by the example his wife is showing if she trusts God with everything. Don't get me
wrong, I love my church but not what some are doing to it in the way of conservatizing it. When you get a group of people there is always going to be varying
opinions on things and respect for each other is what is needed. The first church was like this. Feel free to e-mail privately. God Bless you and your
husband so HE can be honored.
