My Wife, Dilema

[Brother Lazarus]

My sweet Christian wife recently suffered a heart attack. Praise God it was mild and she has been treated and released from the hospital.

I have concerns however.

Was it sinful to allow her to be treated with secular medicine? If so, what needs to be done to get her back to a more Godly status?

She continues to do all of her household duties but sometimes I feel compelled to help her, especially when she does heavy outdoor chores in 90+ degree heat. Am I feeling any sinful emotions when I feel the desire to help her?

I am sure the Godly community of the Landover Baptist Church can help me with Biblically inspired help in my time of need.

Praise God!

Amen

Re: My Wife, Dilema

Brother Lazarus, take heed. Your wife needs bed rest. To work her now is to invite further injury, then you could be left caring for an invalid for the next 30 years. Is that what you want?

Consider this, if you were a farmer and your mule pulled a muscle would you work that mule as hard the next day? No, let it rest, let it heal, so that it can plow your fields a thousand times more. To be reckless and force work to an injured animal is to ask for a lame mule. Do you really want to be married to a lame mule?

Hospitals are filled with secular Doctors who work against the Will of Our Lord

Not so much sinful as expensive, pointless and mistrustful of God's Mercy

If so, what needs to be done to get her back to a more Godly status?

Prayer, then prayer, then more prayer.

She continues to do all of her household duties but sometimes I feel compelled to help her, especially when she does heavy outdoor chores in 90+ degree heat. Am I feeling any sinful emotions when I feel the desire to help her?

And in the meantime, what are your colored folk doing? Where is the maid, the gardener, the chauffeur, the handyman?

See the Church noticeboard for slaves servants for purchase. A young buck would be less than $5000 with a resale value of something similar if you kept him for not more than a year and he had all his own teeth.

Praise God!

Indeed!

Re: My Wife, Dilema

Brothers Avatar and Ezekiel, I thank you both for your wise council. It seems that the best thing to do is to put her on light duty. Allowing total rest might tempt her to backslide and go back to being a Jehova’s Witness. (Praise God though my Jesus inspired will she’s not one of those Russelites anymore.) What I've decided to do is rent a Mexican for a while. Now Brother Ezekiel your advice to buy a buck is well taken, but in the current marketplace it is more economical to rent a Mexican. You see there is no obligation to actually feed a Mexican. Besides these Yankees seem to not take kindly to the righteous endeavor of buying and selling of slaves even though it is clearly Biblical.
Yours in Christ

Well, the cheapest thing, really would be to steala mexican. i mean, borrow. if said mexican doesn't work out, or you have no need for the person, simply sell him/her. That way you make a profit.
