My introduction.

[Beatrice Little]

My father was a good man. A good Christian man. A bit like Mr James Hutchins.
When I was 15, I rebelled like many girls. I went out with my friends and wore jeans and an immodest top. Well, it happened just as my father and mother and pastor had always said it would. I was raped. I was too ashamed to go home, but the police found me and returned me to my father. Once he had punished me appropriately, he demanded to know who my rapist was. I was too frightened to tell him, as I thought my father might kill him. But in fact, that was the reason I told him. Bob Little was his name. Well, father went around all right. But he didn't shoot him, but demanded that he give father 50 shekels and marry me. Which is what happened. My son was born 4 months later.

But here is my dilemma. Bob is not a Christian. Even worse he is an Atheist! I'm sure he has rectal demons from his nightly drinking sessions with his atheist friends. He has told me he is going to bring home a prostitute and make me do things with her. I am torn between my obedience to God and my obedience to my husband. Please help to advise me. In Jesus' name.

Re: My introduction.

Forgive me please. I did not follow the instructions.
My favorite verse from the Bible is 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
I used to go to Church at my father's church at least once a week, often 2 or 3 times a week, but my husband will not let me attend. He says it's all about a sky-fairy, and he won't have that in his house.

My advice is simple. You should have thought about that before you got raped. You could have been raped by a Christian man, but you chose to get raped by an atheist. Now you must live with the consequences. I will pray for your soul.

Re: My introduction.

Greetings, Beatrice. Have you tried praying for your husband?

Greetings, Beatrice. Have you tried praying for your husband?

I have prayed that God might smite him. Is that bad?

Re: My introduction.

It's normally not bad to pray that God smites a sinner, but under these circumstances, I have to ask, how would you support yourself if this smiting were to come to pass?

Does your husband carry a comprehensive smiting insurance policy in order to make sure that you will be provided for?

Given that he is an atheist, and therefore surely does not believe God would ever smite him, my guess is that he does not carry such insurance.

So.

If your husband were to die, you and your child would be on the dole, sucking at the tax payer's teat.

My dear, I'm sorry to say this, but collecting welfare is not honorable. You just can't afford the luxury of having your husband smote right now.


Now, unfortunately, your husband's likely refusal to carry a good life insurance policy to ensure that you are provided for is something that surely enrages the Lord...

1 Timothy 5:8

8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

So it is entirely possible that God will, in fact, smite your husband, just out of sheer anger.


If that should occur, I do hope you will not accept government assistance. Please be prepared to find gainful employment, as God does not want you to be a jobless sluggard, and He does not want you collecting food stamps:

2 Thessalonians 3:10

10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

Yes. What if you were to save him at a later date? You don't know what might happen. Let time run its course. And at least your children are not unclean, you know you need to birth children to be saved yourself, right?

1 Cor 7:12-16
But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

Yes. I've already checked that out. His employer has an insurance policy which covers an employees wife and children - he cannot divert it elsewhere. And it's 85% of his income until he would have retired. So my son and I could live quite comfortably without him and without any government assistance.

Now I have a favour to ask you. Do you, or do you know anyone who is happy to do the Lord's work, no matter how unpleasant?

You are welcome to call me Bea - but please don't call me 'BeLittle'. My husband's friends think that's funny. I don't.

Re: My introduction.

Welcome, Mrs. Little! It seems that are you in quite a dilemma. I will pray for you and your husband.

Re: My introduction.

Your duty is to serve your husband as he sees fit. What passes is God's will. Do not contemplate murder, as you will burn in Hell for it. If God is angered by your husband's behavior, He will cause him to consume alcohol until he dies, or possibly cause an accident of some kind. Thou shalt not kill-God.

Re: My introduction.

I am not trying to make light of your situation, but please indulge me this:

If Sister Mary Etheldreda were to invite you and I for tea, Mary would have a Little Lamb!

HAHAHAHAHAHHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHHHHAAAAA

So sorry about your drunkard rapist.

Dear Mrs. Little;

Welcome to God's favorite forum. I'm not that concerned about the petty complaints of females, so I won't be addressing whatever you were bellyaching about in your introductory post. I know that no matter how a man might try, a woman will never be satisfied. You probably aren't going to wind up in Heaven anyway, because I doubt that you even possess a soul.

Thank you Miss Esther. And thank you for your visitor's message to me. Unfortunately I cannot reply in kind.

Thank you for your warm and heartfelt welcome. It is so comforting to have a pastor talk to me, even acknowledge my presence, after so long without attending church. I can feel the warm glow of Jesus swelling my veins in unmentionable places when you speak. Thank you The Lord is truly merciful to a lowly sinner as myself. Praise Him!

Sister Beatrice:


If your father is anything at all like Brother Hutchins, you have yourself a great dad. You don't mention that something happened to him so I am not sure why you refer to him as if he is no longer your father or is deceased.


Either way, you have come to a welcoming place where the love of Jesus pervades every interaction. Let this be your respite from the cross you are bearing, but all the while praise Jesus that He trusts enough in your faith to carry this cross. It isn't easy for your husband, either. He likely would have rather married someone that didn't try to go out and get men all worked up to the point where he lost control - again, because of your lack of virtue and common sense - and now here he is saddled with you, always having to worry if you'll go buy some more tight jeans and a tube top, light up a Virginia Slims, and walk the byways of godless New Zealand, where the men are already so hard up for a decent woman that the first floozy who shows up is considered prime meat. I am sorry to be so blunt, but you just have to understand men are easily led to sin and it's all because of your weakness.


Well, anyway, praise God you're in a safe place with us, where you'll be uplifted spiritually and guided in the Scriptures. I will be in prayer for you, Bea Little.


Come, Lord Jesus!
