The wife is always to submit but she must first submit to God. So it depends on what one calls "abuse" as to what her actions should be. There is so much secular psychobabble out there as to what "abuse" is that almost anything can be considered as such these days. If it is actual physical abuse, then the wife must submit to God's Word in Romans 13 and have the husband arrested. Pastor John addresses that very issue in one of his sermons from the link I posted previously.
Let's not forget that God is sovereign and nothing happens apart from either his direct or permissive will. God either causes something or He allows something BUT for the Christian it is ALWAYS for their good.
Now I must go to my prayer closet and confess my sins of envy and covetousness. Bear hunting! Do you know how long I've wanted to come to AK to bowhunt bears??? I confess. I'm jealous!
God Bless,
Well, this is what we are up against in our circle. Michael and Debi Pearl teach that for a wife to obtain true favor with the Lord as a submissive wife, she is required to submit to physical and emotional abuse as needed, if that is what God has for her. ( They have advised a wife to go back and submit to her dh who tried to kill her
)
They claim that if she sweetly submits to it, her husband will most likely turn out better in the end.
My original comment was before I ever commented on your post, so I'm not trying to pick on you at all
I will be posting our bear conquering for sure in the near future. You can live vicariously that way!
We fill our freezers every year with the most sweet tender meat. DH hunts with a bow, but I am not liscensed, so I use something a bit louder.
Can you tell me where Debi Pearl tells a woman to submit to an abussive husband? I seriously would like to know since in Created to Be His Helpmeet, She does not advocate staying with an abussive husband.
