Now, then, let's get right down to brass tacks, shall we? Like our beloved Sister Handmaiden, I have the same concerns as she has mentioned. Furthermore, I do wonder if there is a bit of trouble with your home life. For your husband to cuss and swear (and more likely than not: to take the 's Name in vain), it is not an ideal situation for a young woman as she tries to live pleasing to . I do hope that you are in no way in a troubled marriage, Dear, but I must leave you with these pertinent passages from the blessed :

II Corinthians 6:14 "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"

Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."

Matthew 15:11 "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man."

It is my prayer that you are in no trouble, and that you will feel that you can speak, in confidence, to the servants of Almighty , for assistance and guidance, in accordance with Holy instruction:

Titus 2:3-5:
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of be not blasphemed.

Hi, Sister Isabella. And thanks for the Bible verses.


As I said to Sister Handmaiden, my husband can be a little excessive, but I assure you this.


He would never, and I mean NEVER, take our beloved Lord's name in vain. He promised that to my father on the day of our marriage, and he's still kept that promise.

Hello, and welcome to our friendly forums. I have just one question.

Now this post is all very well and good (apart from your husband's intemperate use of presumably foul language):

However, it does not address Sister Handmaiden's question, which you quoted in the same post. I will helpfully remind you of it:

We are all agog waiting for your answer.

I know my father can cite chapter and verse of the Bible. He is a pastor, after all.

I have know a few pastors who were muddled on some of the exact placements and intentions of Bible verses. And that wasn't the answer that I was looking for.

Hello, Sister Joanna! I was thirteen when I was married. Does this answer your question?

Hello, Sister Handmaiden.


Sorry, I thought that was a good enough answer. Well, my brother John always had the highest marks in Bible Study. He's practically known the literal meaning of the good book since he was little.


I usually turn to him when I need advice.

No, my dear, I am not looking for a "good enough" answer when I asked if you knew of anyone else who could quote chapter and verse of the Bible.

I was looking for deeper discernment.

You stated that your husband is devout and knowledgeable regarding the Bible and then suggested that he uses profane language.

I asked a counterpoint question in order to help not just you-- but any other visitor to our forum-- see that you can't claim to know the words of the Bible while engaging in behavior that runs counter to its commands. God's Authority just doesn't work that way you understand.

Instead of grasping the opportunity to learn by picking up the Good Book itself, you list two other men in your life as examples of Bible students. First, you mention your father who can cite chapter and verse, then you bring up your brother who received "high marks"* for Bible study. In neither case do you make the distinction between knowing the Bible and following it.

Now, one last time, who can you think of that is able to spout Bible verses at will but--like your husband from what you have let slip--doesn't actually obey its commands? I will offer you a hint: The answer is in the actual Bible.




* It's interesting that your user name declares you to be an American Princess, when most Americans talk about getting good grades in school. Those Catholic-Lite, female Pope-following Brits are the ones who speak of receiving "high marks" in school.

It wasn't my question, it was Sister Handmaiden's. However, if you mean "Does what I have written tell you absolutely all you need to know about me?" then the answer is yes.

They don't speak of it very often, though, Sister, because it so rarely happens.

Not all schools are the same. An A or a B(-) from one place may well be an F, in the real world, such as where one tries to get a job.

"Oh, and what school did you go to?" etc.

"Grange Hill."

N E X T !

"Old Boys."
"Saint Trin's."
"The Pitt's School."

Step right this way, at least we know what you're good at at and what we see is what we get.

But Grange Hill's skills are just as well known and have their place too in our brave new world.
