Featured I'm too dogmatic!

And you wonder why you no longer teach Sunday School...

 

If you don't talk like this there, then why do you talk like it here?

 

Then why do you do it here? Anonimity? (I do not think that I spelled that right.)

 

I should have read yours before posting mine.

 

Too good! Too good, indeed

 

Kind of goes without saying that a Pastor would have various complaints about a teacher that introduces concepts that are distinctives opposed to the distinctives which led to the origination of that group to begin with.

Do you think everyone here behaves the way they do all the times on this forum? Would you admit that people are antagonized to emotional responses?


God bless.

 

What if you talked to you pastor and he agreed that you 2 would be better off somewhere else?

 

If there has been talk of divorce, the church dilemma is minor.

 

Has the doctrinal differences kept you from establishing relationships in the fellowship and genuine love for some of the people there?


God bless.

 

Just to throw out a question, do the members here feel that the man should be the religious leader, so to speak, in the household?

And secondly, would we find anything unsettling in a wife placing her church membership as something so important that she is unwilling to acknowledge her husband's view of their fellowship and their teaching?

And just want to clarify, I am not acknowledging Evangelist implied divorce had come up. I took it more as an emphasis on her determination to go there.


God bless.

 

You know Evan, I've said it before, and I think it still holds true. You seem to make your life a whole lot more complicated than it has to be.

If you're an evangelist, then evangelize. Preach the word.

Stop with the doctrine and the ideology. Just preach the word.:thumbsup:

 

Personally, I believe the man should be the spiritual and physical leader in the house. This does not mean that he should boss people around. It means he should be strong enough in his faith and love for God that he can lead his household in prayer, and teaching, and decision-making regarding almost every aspect of life. He should love and respect his wife, just as Christ loved the church.

I don't really want to comment on the specifics, but as I told Evan earlier, when spouses attend churches that are so theologically askew and of such doctrinal difference, there is a great risk on being unequally yoked.

 

Yes the man should be the spiritual or to use your term religious leader in the home.
My question although I will admit its a moot point is why would you get married to someone who is in a completely different soterological (not sure I spelled that right) camp then you. I mean I can understand having different views on minor details but Salvation is no minor detail. I would never have married a non-cal, and neither would my husband. When we were online dating very early on probably like the 5th or 6th email my husband asked my view on Election. That was a make it or break it question for him and rightfully so.
Anyways back to the subject at hand, as to your second question yes I would find it unsettling for a wife to putting her church above her husband as it is not submitting to him and it is also not being truly united with him.

 

I believe if both spouses are committed to the Bible as authority, bible study between the two can lead to the same and even correct theology. Couples underestimate the importance of bible study at home together.

 

Amen. I've heard other couples say the same thing. God is still a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
