Re: Hiding Bruises

I totally agree with you. it is the natural order of marriage to have our beloved husbands as domintant, and the exercise of their autority through discipline really fosters our submission. The moderate disobedicence, unfortunately, come sour spontaneously from our sinful nature, this is why God entitled our husband to discipline us.

That is disgusting!

Where in the bible does it say any thing of the sort?

Aaron wanted me to tell you that its in there, but if you're too darned lazy to read the Bible and find it for yourself, then you can just go to hell, you filthy whore.

And I agree with him, since he's my husband. So go to hell I guess, you whore.

Women were created by God for a specific purpose - to be a help meet:

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Genesis 2:18

She is not created to be equal, but to be subservient to her husband's rule:

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Genesis 3:16

This is part of God's Holy Design:

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.
1st Corinthians 11:3

Furthermore, God, in His infinite Wisdom, knows correction isn't a particularly joyous event at the moment, but it is for the greater good:

Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Hebrews 12:11

let me just add a few things to what other christian ladies replied very well already. there is nothing bad in a woman with some bruises. these are things that happen normally in a Cristian family where the Godly Husband takes care and protects his wife from evil.

i know that in secular life it is not understood, but if you let me explain, you will see the point. Women are sinful in nature, and they have less witness than man. it is a fact. but the Lord, in his infinite mercy, gave to men the authority over woman.

Our beloved husbands devote time, efforts, energy to make us be godly women. they are so patient with us, and they love us so much, to save us from the evil and our sins. they would never say (like those atheist husbands): "it's your business! it's your decision! it's up to you" they love us, protect us, help us to stay in the right track and to be the wives that God commanded us to be.

Discipline is a holy tool to make us accountable of our sins. it's the Lord hand, through our husband hand, that beats us, and God is never wrong!

Re: Hiding Bruises

What sort of a "man" lays his hands on his wife ? He needs to pick on someone his own size, if he is feeling quite the alpha male. I am disgusted to see that so many of you don't see a problem with wife beating. What is wrong with all of you ?

Maybe you should marry into the Taliban - they will slap you around at will and finish you off when they finally tire of you. Like this poor woman here was :

A Christian Domestic Discipline (CDD) marriage is simply a traditional, male-led, Christian marriage which utilises aspects of Domestic Discipline. It is set up according to Biblical standards.



Therefore, in a CDD marriage:

• The husband is the head of the household, whilst the wife is submissive to her husband as if the Lord Himself was her husband. See Eph. 5:22-24.
• The husband is to love his wife as himself, and as Christ loved the church. He is to be a servant, and leads by example. He is to lay down his life for her. See Eph. 5:25-29.
• The wife is to reverence her husband. She is to obey him, so long as his instructions are not in opposition to God's commands. See Titus 2:5, Acts 5:29.

He has the ultimate authority in his household, but this authority is tempered with the knowledge that he will answer to God for his actions and decisions. The final decision rests with him, and therefore, the final responsibility, whatever the outcome, is his to bear.

He has the responsibility for leading his family and is accountable before God for their well-being and development. He has the authority to spank his wife for disciplinary reasons, but in real CDD marriages, this authority is taken quite seriously and usually happens rarely. Most CDD marriages do use spanking, generally for serious offences, such as the "Four D's" (Disobedience, Disrespect, Dishonesty, or Dangerous [as in dangerous choices... reckless driving, disobeying doctor's orders, etc]). Some CDD marriages also use non-corporal disciplines, such as writing lines, or the temporary forfeiture of a favourite privilege. Again, every marriage is unique, and CDD is much more than just corporal punishment or spanking.

So, you see, in a proper, Biblical marriage, the wife is treated much as any child. This is because God has decreed it should be so.

If your wife disobeys you, or is disrespectful, or lies, or does something stupid and dangerous, it is appropriate to spank her because that's the sort of discipline she understands.

So, Reverend, do you beat your wife ? If so, then you are a bully, not a REAL MAN.

I sincerely hope that your wife slaps you back and calls the cops on you if you ever lay a finger on her. Go and fight a Taliban thug, if you are feeling all that powerful and macho.

Are you for real ? Two wrongs don't make a right. How do you know that the SHO beating up the woman was a Hindu ? Oh, wait, he's Indian, so must be a Hindu....not that I would condone it if he was. A man who attacks a woman is a coward, regardless of what his religion is.

Don't be ridiculous! The taliban are all going to HELL for worshiping demons! God loves us and has explained the marriage relationship.

EPHESIANS 5
22 Wiues, submit your selues vnto your own husbands, as vnto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, euen as Christ is the head of the Church: and he is the sauiour of the body.
24 Therefore as the Church is subiect vnto Christ, so let the wiues bee to their owne husbands in euery thing.
©1611

Are you following this so far?

What is Christ's relationship with the Church? It is a cleansing relationship. Please note that I'm not stating some "opinion" I cooked up last night ogling a chalk elephant. It is the Word of the Living God.
He continues:

Ephesians 5:25a Husbands, loue your wiues

What does that mean? How should the Husband love a wife?

Ephesians 5:25b-26aeuen as Christ also loued the Church, and gaue himselfe for it: That he might sanctifie & cleanse it
©1611 READ ALL OF EPHESIANS 5 HERE

So the Husband has a wife. It needs cleansing. How should he cleanse it? God explains about cleansing things as I have already posted, but here it is again:

Proverbs 20:30 The blewnes of a wound cleanseth away euill: so doe stripes the inward parts of the belly.

God uses the even uses same words. Let's have a look at Matthew's Gospel:

Matthew 6:13 And lead vs not into temptation, but deliuer vs from euill: For thine is the kingdome, and the power, and the glory, for euer, Amen.
©1611

Why would anyone pray for deliverance from evil, or to be cleansed from unrighteousness, and then reject the very answer that God, in His Perfect Love, has vouchsafed for us in The Scripture?

I have no idea. That rejection can only be the fruit of SATAN active in every wanton life, plaything of every harlot the Bible is very clear:

I JOHN 1
6 If we say that we haue felowship with him, and walke in darkenesse, we lie, and doe not the trueth.
7 But if wee walke in the light, as he is in the light, wee haue fellowship one with another, and the blood of Iesus Christ his Sonne clenseth vs from all sinne.
8 If we say that we haue no sinne, we deceiue our selues, and the trueth is not in vs.
9 If we confesse our sinnes, hee is faithfull, & iust to forgiue vs our sinnes, and to cleanse vs from all vnrighteousnesse.
