Unfaithful Wife

[1689Dave]

Mt 21 says "He drove out all who sold...."
Are the cattle selling themselves?
Jesus also said the time would come to seek your cloak and buy a sword
Me fearful? Says the one too scared to leave his own porch??????

Jesus was numbered with the transgressors. The two swords helped frame him. Read the entire context.

 

[1689Dave]

Park. You said you are in isolation. Isolated people don't go anywhere.

People can isolate themselves in their cars.

 

[Reynolds]

Drove out does not necessarily mean what you assume it means. How about Peter?

It means drove out, literally.

 

[1689Dave]

It means drove out, literally.

You can do that apart from hitting anyone. But your mind sees only violence.

You so far in left field it's ludicrous.

It says drove. It does not say asked to leave. The literal text is in my favor. Prove me wrong.

 

[1689Dave]

Do you have guns? If so why? Christians in the NT never used violence to defend themselves. They had the courage to die first.

If you swing a ball bat, they'll leave without any violence.

I can face death upholding Christ's teachings. Can you?

 

[Reynolds]

Some will. Some won't. You threatening violence. What's the difference?

 

[Reynolds]

You don't uphold the Great Commission because you scared to get off your porch.

How are you going to handle when your wife ask you to share the Gospel to a man that later you found that, that man and your wife have an affair.

I would assume that from the “have” and not pass tense (have had) it is ongoing.

I also assume you may be the pastor or leader in an assembly and have concerns considering the testimony of the home.

That is something that should not be dealt with on this BB other than prayer offered.

Affairs are the most difficult, for women and men see these things quite differently.

Betrayal is not easily overcome, and it is at this time a man is brought to self doubt, intense even blinding rage, and often self destructive decisions.

If you desire, and discern you want some privacy to communicate with anonymity, then I would suggest contacting the moderators directly for whom they suggest from the BB to help you through the various media (email, face time, zoom, …)

Until then, tamp down the expressions of self hurt, get alone with God for He knows more about the situation then anyone, and tell the wife you expect a lab report concerning her health before there is any physical activity involving you and the children with her.

I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: - 1 Corinthians 5:9

 

[1689Dave]

Some will. Some won't. You threatening violence. What's the difference?

I was in a truck stop back in the day before Christ, and a fight broke out between some of the long-haired guys I was with and some truck drivers. Chairs were flying, plate glass windows were flexing ready to break... A waitress grabbed a pistol and holding it over her head, cleared the entire restaurant outside into the parking lot. We took off and spent the rest of the night at a nearby stone quarry until things cooled down and sneaked back into town in the wee hours. The point is, sin was quelled apart from violence in a manner similar to Jesus' removal of the money changers and cattle in the temple.

You don't uphold the Great Commission because you scared to get off your porch.

You are bearing false witness too. You need repentance. I already said we shop at Walmart grocery pick-up. I do not socialize and just told some family members not to visit over the holidays. Yikes, do you hate me?

How you fulfil the Great Commission when in isolation?
How do you full fulfil the command to "forsake not the gathering...."?

All the Father gave to Christ will come to him. So it takes skill to witness and preach the gospel. Most get it wrong. They go about presenting God as a bully who demands they "say uncle" or whatever condition they come up with for them to meet in order to save themselves. Are you wasting your time thinking you get people to save themselves in doing this?

I probably get more converts on my front porch than any on this board who preach a false gospel.

I look for faith, just as Jesus did before spending time on them. Paul and Peter did this too. So I'm reserved in casting my pearls before swine. So I witness when the occasion presents itself.

Assuming you do actually concerts hollering through your front porch screen, how are you being obedient to the command of Hebrews 10:25?

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25 (KJV 1900)

My wife and I constitute a church.

“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:20 (KJV 1900)

In your own mind you do.
You are so misguided in your theology that it is no wonder you can not find a Church.
