Re: I hit my wife for the first time

She was just a woman after all, it is not like a irreplaceable, one of a kind, custom made lost prized Fabbris over and under shotgun lost by an airline (PanAm).

Every human life is precious and irreplaceable. I know for sure that I would never allow myself to be treated that way.

That's because you are all about self, it's self self self. Focus on others, especially Jesus, and you will be a happier person.

How is allowing myself to be abused making anything better? If anything, it's hurting the abuser as well.

What you are doing in this situation is taking it upon yourself to define what is and what is not "abuse."

People who take the Bible at face value know that God, in His Righteous Judgment, drowned every human being on earth except for eight individuals. They understand and accept that all the animals in the world were also drowned other than the designated numbers herded onto the Ark. Would you consider such actions abusive, or would you submit to the authority of The Lord?

Thus, the question must be presented: Do you accept the Bible at face value? If you do, do you feel it is appropriate for you to argue certain points with the church leadership here? If you do NOT accept the Bible at face value, then why are you here?

You written what I'm sure you imagine to be clever posts here and there throughout our forum. However, you have not engaged with any spiritual or intellectual honesty on any of the scriptural issues that we have presented. Being coy may amuse you and may be of some benefit if you wish to pursue a career in phone sex work, but it will not get you very far here at , .



Edit: I have only just now realized that I have wandered into the Men's Only Sub-forum. I ask forgiveness of my Brothers in Christ. Of course, you will feel free to delete my post or discipline me in any way that The Holy Spirit guides you to do.

I think hitting someone in a situation other than in battle is considered abuse by almost any person alive. Point out to me anywhere in the bible where it states that you should hit your wife, please. I'm all ears.

I'm well aware of logical fallacies, it's just that I'm pretty sure that there's something broken inside you if you lack so much empathy that you think it's ok to abuse women and children. Perhaps you should google "empathy".

As are all of the True Christians(tm), so please stop. All you're doing is making your case look weak by trying to use inherently invalid arguments.


Cite facts, with references. You don't see the True Christians(tm) claiming the Bible says something without relevant links, do you?

It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the—if he—if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing.

Re: I hit my wife for the first time

There is a big headline about a pastor who pointed a loaded gun at his wife. This is not an unusual story but the article went into a questionable legal issue.

It referred to the Pastor's actions as "domestic violence." Is it "domestic violence" if the husband points his figure at his wife and says, "You look great." Pointing a loaded gun is no different. In pointing a loaded gun he did not pull the trigger or hit her. Where does the word "violence" come in?

And as usual in these cases accusing a husband of wrongdoing, there is no record of what the wife did to provoke him.

Indeed. One needn't be a mother of many to realize it takes two to fight. If the pastor raised his hand to stop his wife, whether there was a gun in it or not, we ought to be asking what the wife did to antagonize him to such a point where a man of God felt he had to "lay down the law." Did she conveniently forget the law? Or was it rather, she felt she was above it? I'd like to know.

Re: I hit my wife for the first time

Wow, making a big deal about hitting your wife? I recall having to straighten my wife, Mrs. Hutchins, out multiple times on our wedding day. Then just about every day after until one day the stupid woman fell down the well. How many times do I have to tell her things?

I've heard stories about a husband going years before he gave his wife a good round house kick to the head. Must of been a more tolerant man than I, which is hard to fathom as I am probably the easiest going, water off the back of a duck kind person. I know god does not put up with any shenanigans.

I guess, everything happens for a reason. If a husband has to slug his wife, she needs to take the time to reflect on her behavior and why she made me correct her. Of course, this personal reflection done after all her chores are fully completed. She should apologize to her husband for her transgressions as well. Communication is key to a happy marriage.

Re: I hit my wife for the first time

If you can't pull a gun on your wife to correct her disobedience, what good is keeping a gun at all? The Second Amendment was put in place to protect exactly this kind of behavior. I am so sick of the woke liberals constantly trampling on men's rights!

Re: I hit my wife for the first time

Or maybe I should say God did. This morning my wife went to take a shower and I figured it'd be a good time to go into the hallway closet and have a quick prayer session. After I finished I went into the bedroom and she was putting her makeup on. She asked where I was and I told her I was working in the garage and she said I checked the garage and you weren't in there. I told her I must have been in the corner where she couldn't see me.

She asked if everything was ok, and that she noticed I had ordered a Bible from Amazon. I told her that I was reconsidering my views on God and there were going to be some changes in our house. I told her that she was going to have to leave or sell her company, we were going to start going to Church and she was to stay home to cook, clean and homeschool the kids. And keep in mind the whole time she's looking at me like I'm crazy and I'm feeling disrespected in my own house. I got around to Halloween and how we would not be observing it anymore and that pumpkin pies were not to be made anymore. I told her it had to stop.

She looked me in the eye and said "Are you out of your mind?!?" and that's when God himself spoke to me and said "This is your house, I am your God and she is your wife, CONTROL HER!"

I'm ashamed to admit it but I hesitated, I didn't know what to do. That's when I felt Him enter my body and felt my hand raise up from my side. The back of my hand connected with her cheek and she screamed "What the f@*% is wrong with you?!!!" Again, as if acting on it's own my arm swung out again and hit her in the face and she was silent, crying on the bed where she had fell.

After a few moments I asked her if she understood the changes we would be making and she nodded yes, never looking up at me. I said "Good, now I've worked up an appetite, why don't you go make some lunch." She replied that we didn't have anything to make and asked if she could go to the store and I said that was fine. She then asked if she could take the kids with her as they haven't been outside all day and that it would give me some peace and quiet to study my Bible.

I feel our talk was very productive and that she understands her role as she asked me permission to leave the house. And I feel overjoyed that God himself entered me and filled me with his Love and showed me firsthand how to deal with a disobedient wife. But most importantly I feel I have the proof I've spent my whole life searching for. God took control of my body and spoke to me personally!! I feel so blessed that he chose to reveal himself to me.

The wife should be home any minute now, she's been gone an hour and a half, I don't know what's taking her so long. I guess we were very low on food so she had a lot to buy. Thanks for reading, I just wanted to share the progress I've made!

You sinned by hitting her. The bible commands you to follow secular laws, hitting her was assault. She was also an unbeliever, you have no right to enforce the bible on someone who is not a christian. You tried to enforce your will through fear and she outsmarted you. Sorry, but you may be living proof that gender doesn't determine smarts.
