Stubborn Wives and Divorce
By David J. Stewart
"For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD...." -1st Samuel 15:23
According to 1st Samuel 15:23, stubborn wives are as guilty in God's eyes as those who worship Satan! And God tells us why... because thou hast rejected the Word of the Lord! America has THE highest divorce rate in the world, and American women are TWICE as likely to file for divorce than men. The reason is because most of America's women have become feminists, rebelling against God's Word by not obeying their own husband, and stubbornly demanding to have their own way. This CONFLICT of authority in the home creates a two-headed monster that usually ends in an ugly divorce. Listen to the words of the great man of God, and founder of the Sword of the Lord, Evangelist John R. Rice concerning the woman's role in marriage...
"Why does not the Bible limit a wife's obedience to her husband? Why does the Scripture not say, as many wish it did say, that a wife should be subject to her husband as long as he is right and true to the Bible? Or why does it not say, as Mrs. Goforth interprets it in How I Know God Answers Prayer, that a wife should be subject to her husband in all matters but spiritual matters? But that is not what the Bible commands. Rather the Bible says, "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord," that is, as unto Jesus Christ, and so of course in complete submission. And again, "Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing" (Eph. 5:22,24).
-SOURCE: (Success-Prone Christians, by Dr. John R. Rice; chapter 2; pg. 44,45).
Oh how right Dr. Rice is concerning
this matter! Women are to obey their husbands, whether he is right
and true to the Bible or not. This urgent Biblical truth desperately
needs to be taught in our churches today, because divorce is epidemic in
America!!!
Domestic Rebellion
So many self-righteous wives today are hypocrites, who file for divorce, drag their husband into court before a heathen judge, and cause him financial ruin. This is a woeful evil. A lazy wife who stubbornly refuses to care for her children, clean the home, or satisfy her husband's needs, is afforded a FREE lawyer if her husband even blows up in verbal anger against her. She is catered to as if a victim. The husband is forced into hiring a lawyer and paying $20,000 in legal expenses to defend himself! Check with your local police station and you will learn that a husband who even yells at his wife is deemed guilty of "Domestic Violence." The legal charge is "verbal assault." If found guilty by a judge, the husband can be forced to support his stubborn and rebellious former spouse for the remainder of her life. The husband risks losing his kids, his paycheck, his home... HIS LIFE! Wicked! Injustice! American men have been victimized by a godless feminist agenda sinfully working within our government, that roasts fathers over the flames of Hell for exercising husbandly authority over the wife (Genesis 3:16). Wives are commanded in God's Word to OBEY their husbands in EVERY THING (Ephesians 5:24).
We hear a lot about "Domestic Abuse"
these days; but NOTHING is ever said about stubborn or rebellious wives.
How about a new term called... Domestic Rebellion? Or, perhaps we
should term it... Domestic Laziness. Or, perhaps just a simple...
Domestic Bad Attitude! The entire legal system has turned vicious
against working fathers in America. This is a woeful evil, and will
ultimately bring the judgment of God upon this cursed nation. Feminism
is one of the evil
children of Communism, intended to subvert American women into aborting
(murdering) their babies, proclaiming
Sexual Liberation, and
divorcing their
husbands. No wonder
lesbianism
is skyrocketing!!!
Thinking Can Be Dangerous!
Ironically,
feminism promotes the notion that women who don't think for themselves often
become enslaved in abusive relationships with men. So Dr. Feminist comes
along and educates (i.e., brainwashes) women to "think" for themselves.
As a tragic consequence, THINKING WOMEN have murdered nearly 50,000,000 babies
in America alone!!! THINKING WOMEN by the millions are turning to
LESBIANISM to escape "Domestic Abuse." I mean, com on, can men be that
bad ladies? Feminism has thrown the baby out with the bath-water,
training a generation of Feminazis to hate masculine authority. THINKING
WOMEN are destroying America! Whoopi Goldberg in the photo to the right
is an openly professed BISEXUAL.
What all these feminists need to do is SHUT UP, and stop destroying other people's marriages. A wife who would otherwise be willing to "tough it out" through the struggles of marriage, often ends up filing for divorce because of some demonic feminist rat who brainwashed her with feminist THINKING. Tragically, the feminist rat is often a pastor's wife or Christian woman in the church. Is this really "thinking," or a lobotomy? Thank God for all the loyal wives who DON'T THINK. Thank God for all the loving mothers who DIDN'T have to THINK whether or not to keep a child. There was no decision to make, because she would NEVER even consider murdering her own child. You know, thinking can be a dangerous thing! Obedience and thinking don't always reconcile very well. What you ladies need to do is allow your husband to lead and do the thinking. Feminists who claim to be "thinking women" are some of the biggest idiots on planet earth--PROOF that thinking can be dangerous!!!
Are husbands so evil and rotten in America that their wives are filing for divorce TWICE as much as men? ... Or is it that women have been poisoned in their minds by feminism to feel sorry for themselves, and selfishly seek greener pastures? You talk about being injected with a poison! Feminism is more deadly than arsenic and cyanide mixed together. The heart of feminism is self-righteousness!
Feminism brainwashes wives to
recognize their husband's authority over them as a form of abuse and tyranny.
A husband who tracks his wife's whereabouts and time is nowadays considered
GUILTY OF DOMESTIC ABUSE. I'm not kidding. Go down to your local
police department and ask for a free brochure on Domestic Abuse, or go online
and do a web search. Here's
a
website that defines Domestic Abuse as "forbidding victim to
work or participate in outside activities." So according to these
idiots, the godly husband who follows 1st Timothy 5:14 and DEMANDS that his
wife stay in the home is abusing her. The world has gone insane! A husband has every RIGHT to
track his wife's whereabouts, friends, and time. This is unbelievable
folks, and Satan is behind this subversion of America's legal system.
According to U.S. Laws, a wife does NOT have to obey her husband, and a
husband WILL BE PROSECUTED for enforcing such God-given rights. Today's
Domestic Abuse laws go totally contrary to God's Law. Wifely
obedience to the husband has been reduced to a cute novelty in America today,
where a wife can disobey her husband at any time and there's little he can do
about it. This is a woeful evil in the United States, Canada, and Europe. A wife who
carelessly shirks her responsibilities ought not be rewarded in court
for her rebellion and stubbornness. Now, please don't misunderstand me,
I'm not condoning physical abuse; but, MUCH of what is construed as
"Domestic Abuse" nowadays is a direct attack against the God-given authority
of the man in the home. A man is to be the head of his home, and the
wife is to obey him in EVERY THING (Ephesians 5:24).
Social Sickos
Oprah Winfrey is another THINKING
feminist, and says... "if
your little girl wants to be a boy... let her." These are the
social sickos who are destroying America's family values. Read about
George Chisholm. Feminism
absolutely prohibits a husband from having any disciplinary authority over his
own wife. Again, I'm not condoning abuse; but discipline and abuse are
two very different things. A child being spanked is NOT being abused.
A wife today can basically slack off all she wants to in
the home, and her husband is virtually powerless to do anything about it.
Men nowadays are as cattle headed for the slaughterhouse when they get
married, especially in
America. The statistics and court cases are proof of what I say. Yet, because marriage is the right way
(Hebrews 13:4), men continue to become
victims of a godless court system that crucifies
husbands and fathers. There are few exceptions.
Get mad at me if you want to, it's high time for preachers to stop trimming
their sermons by catering to a bunch of hussies and stubborn women in our
churches who are feminists! A father who solely supports his children
after a divorce should ALSO have full-custody as well. This is fair.
Unfortunately, such responsible fathers usually end up being weekend dads. As the world's feminist women are
increasingly becoming nude, rude, and crude... so are so-called "Christian"
women being INFLUENCED by them. Why aren't America's preachers exposing
the evils of feminism! Let' face it, most Americans today have become
INTOLERANT of the Word of God. A pastor who rips and scathes against the
sin of feminism will soon be like John the Baptist who cried as a voice (singular)
in the wilderness. Those who preach the truth today have few friends.
News Alert: Feminists are Perfect!
Feminism hypocritically and unfairly places nearly all of the guilt and blame in a failed marriage upon THE MAN. I receive letters frequently from upset women who divorced, that all say the same thing... "he did this, or he did that, what was I supposed to do?, etc." What you were "supposed to do" is obey your husband. One woman wrote me last week, saying that she was thinking of leaving her husband because of his gambling addiction. You know, if every wife left a husband who had an addiction, there wouldn't hardly be anyone married anymore. Another woman wrote me last week and said she was thinking of leaving her church, because she saw some Southpark videos while babysitting for her pastor. I hate to burst your bubble folks, but there's NO PERFECT PASTORS! From the best of my recollection, I think the Bible says something about us ALL being Hell-deserving sinners. Yes, of course it does! (Romans 3:10,23; 1st John 1:10). Feminists are different of course, they are perfect, and can therefore condemn men for everything.
Genuine love is willing to suffer,
and pain, and be patient. A woman wrote me last month, saying that her
husband was having an affair with another woman in Canada, and she was alone
in Illinois. She said she still loved her husband, and that he
continually reassured her of his love. She asked me if it was a sin
for her to divorce her husband? I told her to view the matter from a
Biblical perspective instead. Jesus was willing to suffer, be
afflicted and rejected, and ultimately crucified because HE LOVES US (Romans 5:8, 1st John 3:16).
If we possess God's love, which very few people do, then we should be willing
to suffer as Christ did. VERY FEW people understand what I just said,
and probably never will. In Hebrews 13:5 God promises NEVER to forsake
nor leave His own. What a marvellous promise! Perhaps it's just
me, being a believer who loves the Lord, but I cannot understand how people
can quit on their spouse, like throwing away an old shoe, and just move onto
greener pastures. I'm glad I don't understand it, and I hope I never
will.
True Biblical Love Never Fails
If a person genuinely loves their
spouse, "divorce" won't even be in their vocabulary. And by the way,
genuine love never fades away. I know a woman who told her husband
after decades of marriage that she didn't love him anymore. She
filed for divorce, blaming him for everything. She accused him of
driving her love away. She is incorrect. First, the woman
sinned horribly against God and her husband by filing for divorce (Matthew
19:8; 1st Corinthians 7:10). She broke her marriage vows... "For
better, for worse; til death do us part." Second, even if
her husband was more at fault, she would have been willing to share the
blame if she was right with the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 3:10; 1st John
1:10). And thirdly, there's NO such thing as "I used to love
you." Either you don't love your spouse now, because you NEVER DID; or
else you still do love your spouse and ALWAYS WILL. Biblical love is
NOT a game, as is the world's false love. The synthetic "love" which
the world offers has no lasting loyalty or commitment. We hear heathen
singers, like Britney Spears, singing all the time about how their "love
will last forever"; but in reality, Miss Spears filed for divorce from her
husband Kevin Federline in 2006. She filed! If a person
genuinely loves their spouse, divorce won't even be in their vocabulary.
We are certainly living in the "evil and adulterous generation" which
Jesus spoke of in Matthew 16:4. The reason why so many people are
divorcing, and living in adultery today, is because they first betrayed
God... James 4:4 states, "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not
that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore
will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." The world
knows not the love of God, only sinful compromise and superficiality.
The Root of the Matter
The root of the matter is that we ALL need to GET RIGHT WITH GOD!!! NO WOMAN, who is right with God, would ever divorce her husband! Let me say it again... NO WOMAN, who is right with God, would ever divorce her husband! And the same goes true for husbands. No husband who is right with God would ever divorce his wife... EVER!
And let me add, NO psychiatrist will ever tell a wife that she is lazy, rebellious, and needs to get right with God. Rather, 95% of the time a DRUG is prescribed. This is another woeful evil in America. Many Americans are fat slobs who don't have control over their appetites, so they beg the Pharmaceutical companies for a drug to make them trim. Many Americans can't control their sex appetites, so they take birth control pills. A drug for this, a drug for that. No drug can replace personal discipline and character... foreign words to many people today. The truth is that most women end up in a psychiatrist's office because of stubbornness and rebellion. The answer is NOT in a drug, or in some heathen shrinks advice. The answer is profoundly simple... GET RIGHT WITH GOD IN YOUR HEART!
