Saved at last!

Re: Saved at last!

Luke 8:13They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

Thank you for that inspiring verse, Brother Levi. That makes it all so clear. I must confess my Bible knowledge is slim. More study is needed.

In all those years of travelling playing the Devil's music, almost every hotel room had a Gideon's Bible, but we used the pages to roll joints when we ran out of Rizlas.

I mightily repent my blasphemous ways now.
However, back to the subject of my wife. I know the good book says that a woman should be silent, that the man should be the head of the household. My dilemma, caused by my ignorance of scripture and theology, is that I have no idea what chastisement is good in the eyes of God.

Should I smite her like unto the Amalekites and sow salt on the remains, or should I just ask her nicely to be obedient and subservient?

Re: Saved at last!

I'm so glad the Lord led you here and that you have a passion for Jesus. The problem is that you may be putting the cart before the horse.

Most churches like to lie to you and tell you a few feel good verses that you can memorize. We want our members to have a working knowledge of the Bible before making a commitment to Jesus. It is the best way to assure that new brothers and sisters don't fall away from the faith.

Re: Saved at last!

It was a miracle of the Lord that I found this place. I was trying to log onto a porn site, it was dark, I was drunk, and a typographical "error" brought me here. Accident? I think not!
I have so much repenting to do. I have been a terrible,terrible sinner. I have drunk and drugged excessively, fornicated mightily, and made a living for 35 years playing rock and roll, the Devil's music. I have associated with musicians, actors, liberals, jews, negroes, asians, and assorted other scum.
I will be seeking guidance here on how to properly conduct myself as a godly person. I would really like to start by teaching my wife the proper roles of man and woman on marriage. How much of a beating would be scripturally correct?

Brother Happy.

You made a typographical error. Please tell me exactly where in the bible it says that such an error makes you "saved"?

Regarding the beating, perhaps you need to do some repenting, learning and clean living before you start to consider disciplining others? You are not a shining example to her, are you?
