Re: what are we doing here

Ramble and release away. You are NOT a bad person for feeling that way. You should not stay, you were not born to serve anybody, your family was not born to serve anybody. I am a Christian, I believe that the marriage vows are sacred, but I am also part of a dysfunctional family. My father is dead and so he's out of the picture (loved him), but my mother is still alive and it would take a stretch of the imagination to say that I honor her in any way (except in my innermost thoughts). My conscience is clear and God understands what I'm going thru and have gone thru, if I didn't distance myself from my mother, I'd probably end up shooting myself in the head (no exagerration). In what I have said here, I might have given you the impression that you should leave him, but, you shouldn't draw that conclusion about what I've said. I can understand how you would get that impression, but what the Lord has to say about the sanctity of marriage has already been said. So has the command to "Honor your father and mother", but yet, my conscience is clear (Some have made shipwreck of THEIR faith by rejecting conscience). I guess the law is not the only thing the Lord wants us to consider. What are the consequences to your children of your "respect" of the sanctity of marriage. Should you be throwing your life away because of "sanctity". If you do, are you going to blame it on God as most people would (and it wouldn't be very nice of me to blame them for that, would it?) Most likely, God does not like this situation AND expects you to do something about it. Kind of like my mother's honor, isn't it? Are you going to be able to stand before God with a clear conscience even though you did something that a book (the bible did not die on the cross) said you shouldn't? Are you a "Jesus" Christian or a "bible" Christian? Talk to Jesus about this the same way that I talked to Jesus about my mother's honor. What it comes down to is an incredible step of faith. Place your love and your faith where they belong, we don't have to stand before the bible with a clear conscience.



God bless you,
