Marriage
Verses
What
do you think about the Bible? Here are some verses I have gathered from
the Bible that I believe are very important to be understood and followed
in order for a possible marriage to work. I have attached a couple of
links at the bottom for websites which deal with more in-depth Biblical
issues that are generally from the approach I accept in terms of living
a spiritual life with God from a Biblical interpretation.
If you would like to ask any question whatsoever upon a specific thing
you are wondering about concerning certain verses, then please send
me a message about it and I will share with you what I believe the Lord
wishes us to know about it based in what the Bible says.
SOUND
BIBLICAL DOCTRINE
I believe that many groups today teach and bring about false doctrines
and false teachings concerning many verses in the Bible that they interpret
incorrectly. It is important for all of us to have a deep interest in
the Bible so that we will not be led about by whatever new doctrine
is popular at the time and that even our own close friends may want
us to accept as well. Here are a few verses that speak about the importance
of sound doctrine.
Romans
16:16-18 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions
and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid
them.
1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter
times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits,
and doctrines of devils;
1 Timothy 4:12-14 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation,
to doctrine.
1 Timothy 4:15-17 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue
in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them
that hear thee.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears
from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Titus 1:8-10 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught,
that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince
the gainsayers.
Hebrews 13 : 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
9 Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines.
Biblical
Attitude
What is the approach you think you should have in dealing with others
and men in particular as a woman? For attitudes relating to dealing
with each other and other people I endeavor (through the empowering
of the Holy Spirit) to obey a humble approach to living and dealing
with others, as this is the way I believe God wishes us to be.
Romans 12:15-17 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high
things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own
conceits.
Deuteronomy
8:1-3 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led
thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove
thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep
his commandments, or no.
Proverbs
29:22-24 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold
the humble in spirit.
Isaiah
57:14-16 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity,
whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also
that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the
humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Matthew
18:3-5 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child,
the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Concerning
Women's Issues.
Do you believe that men and women have been given differing roles to
live in this life? I believe that from the beginning in the garden of
Eden, woman was made for man.(GEN 2:21-23, 1COR 11:8-10). In a marriage
which is guided by the love, grace and will of God, a godly woman humbles
herself to the order that God set up for her as she relates to her husband.
Many honorable women are spoken about in scripture as well as wicked
ones. All Christian women should consider the example of the honorable
ones even though other "Christians" may tell them it is not
important for them to do so anymore.
What kind of view do you have inside you about the idea of being "obedient"
to a man? I do not have a desire to guide and be the authority over
my wife in a wicked way, but I do believe I am to fulfil this role as
I am to be the authority in my family according to the will and principles
of God. All rulers or authority figures are not evil, only evil rulers
are evil. God rules us, but we don't call Him evil do we? His love,
grace, wisdom and favor makes His rulership good, enjoyable, pleasant
and joyous for us even though we may sometimes not think it is at the
time.
With
the Holy Spirit guiding me through the fruits of the Spirit, my wife
can enjoy being led by me as I am guided by God. Marriage has an order
that was created by God, if people want to have a good long lasting
and enjoyable marriage, they should follow the blueprint that God has
given to us concerning it. It is still the same and can be found from
the studying the principles that are found within the Bible.
Although there is an order for marriages to follow that God created,
many people do not care to follow the wishes or will of God and this
brings many problems to many marriages throughout the world among believers
and non believers. Because of the sins that some men and women bring
into marriages I am interested in helping to fight many issues for abused
women (and men) throughout the world as I do not believe a wife or husband
(even a Christian one) is to accept some of the many types of evil actions
which some spouses perpetuate throughout the world. There are many issues
which have been abused in terms of male-female relationships throughout
history that are wrong and not Biblical and not acceptable. In a Christian
marriage, a man and a woman are both to act in the ordained honorable
way that God created them for. As they do that by the grace of God,
they will be blessed and be able to live the type of marriage which
is loving, honorable and enjoyable that the whole world keeps searching
for but cannot find outside of the love and grace of God.
Some scriptures to meditate upon.

2:22-24 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of
my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of
Man.

thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou
art a virtuous woman.

Proverbs
12:3-5 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh
ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
Proverbs
27:14-16 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious
woman are alike.
Proverbs
30:19-21 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth

Ecclesiastes
7:27-29 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a
thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And
the woman was made whole from that hour.
Proverbs

rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err,
and destroy the way of thy paths.

art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among
women.
1
Corinthians 14:33-36 Let your women keep silence in the churches:
for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded
to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn
any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame
for women to speak in the church.
1 Timothy 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over
the man, but to be in silence.

I
have put a few links from other Christian groups here that I like to
visit sometimes. I especially like the Audio
Bible link as you can listen to any part of the Bible in the English
KJV translation any time you want. Cultlink
is also good which is an organization which exposes the false teachings
of many of the fraudulent Christians out there in the world today especially
those in the TV evangelist world. The Spurgeon
link has many archived sermons of his recorded for you to read and listen
to over the internet through your computer speakers in a program called
Real Audio.
