Question:

I have read your Bible Study on marriage and was indeed enlightened. However, I still have a question. I will be as brief as possible and hope that you will understand what I am trying to ask. The Bible states that the head of every man is Christ and the head of the woman is the man. Does this statement also include men who are unsaved?Continue reading

Question:

Is it wrong to ask a woman a question?

Answer:

I Timothy 2:12-14 says, “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.”Continue reading

Question: I have been divorced and my wife has been divorced before our current marriage. We have been following the Lord and I believe I been called to Pastor. I made my mistake of divorce before I was born again believer, I have repented of my sins. I believe the Lord has forgiven me and I want to Pastor a Church.

Is there a verse in Genesis that explicitly says that men and women are equal? I was reading Genesis some time ago and I think I came upon it, but I can’t find it now.

Question: If my wife makes more money than I do, is it okay for me to tell her to pay all the bills. I decided to pay only the mortgage of $750.00 and the child care for my 3 year old daughter mother by another woman while my wife pay for the groceries; private school for her 13 year old son; my car note and her car note, as well as the car note for the automobile she purchased as a birthday present for me; all utilities are paid by my wife; etc. Bills total over $3000 per month and my only contribution was $750.00. I say was because I lost my job in October of 1998. I acquired part- time employment in December and started a new job in January 1999. Although I made over $5000.00 during these two months I did only only contributed $1500 to expenses.Continue reading

Question:

ONE OF YOUR PREVIOUS ANSWERS STATES THAT GOD DOES NOT APPROVE OF WOMEN DIVORCING THEIR HUSBANDS.AND THAT IT IS WRONG. WHAT ABOUT A MAN? ISN’T IT WRONG FOR HIM TO DO THE SAME THING. AND WHAT IF A MAN IS BEATING A WOMAN AND THEIR CHILDREN OR IS COMMITTING ADULTERY WHAT IS THE WOMAN SUPPOSED TO DO JUST LET THESE HORRIBLE THINGS HAPPEN TO HER. WOULDN’T IT BE BETTER FOR HER TO LEAVE HIM AND FIND SOMEONE WITH WHOM SHE COULD BE HAPPY AND THAT WOULD TREAT HER AND THE CHILDREN AS THEY DESERVE?Continue reading

Question:

Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I’ve noticed in several places you have answered the common questions of “can I marry this divorced woman” with one scripture, every time. Isn’t it true Moses allowed re-marriage & divorce? I believe some of the reasons this was allowable was because the husband did not provide for the wife, the divorce was allowable if there was adultery, and a few other things. Just curious! Thanks.Continue reading

Question:

My marriage of 15 years is floundering and I need help. My wife and I have argued in the past, but now the arguments are more frequent and intense. The real problem is that she will erupt and criticize me in public. We have argued in front of our children, my parents and in public areas such as restaurants. I now have become very resentful, embarrassed and sensitive to her criticism which to me sound like a mother scolding a 12 year old. It has become so bad that I have taken to flying off at her when I perceive her to be belittling me in front of others. My attitude toward others has deteriorated as well. I am short tempered and angry all the time. When she tries to correct me, I perceive that to be another attempt to “scold” and the fireworks fly. I have repeatedly asked her to discuss the problems she has with me in private and in a civil tone and not in front of our children and others, but so far this has not worked out. I am at the end of my rope. I can’t stand the man I am becoming. I hate what we are doing to our children and the example they are learning. Divorce is sin. To stay in the present atmosphere seems impossible. I do realize that I am far from perfect and my errors have precipitated some of he outbursts, but I don’t feel that we need to allow the discussion to become so heated and public. I feel like a failure as a husband, father, and Christian. God has tasked me with being the head of my household, but I have failed at that as well. I am considering moving out and divorce. Please help. I need some Godly advice as to how I can get control of this situation before my family is lost.Continue reading
