Talking about you "spiritually dying if you suffered in your marriage any further", is new age mysticism mumbo jumbo. It's not in the bible, Amy. its actually rather ANTI-biblical.
I didn't make the statement that you put in quotations, Dom. I said if I'd have stayed in that place I allowed guilt to take me, I'd have died spiritually. It was a dramatic statement but it was a dramatic and dark place I ventured into. It would have cost me my salvation because I knew better than to even go there but I did because I COULD NOT LIVE WITH THE GUILT. But it was while I was "there" that I asked myself "what the HELL are you doing?" Christ did NOT die for me so I could end up like THAT. He didn't bring me this far for my story - my TESTIMONY - to end up like that, with me lost. He didn't set me free so I'd be entangled yet again by the yoke of bondage to GUILT. That just isn't what happened. When that hit me and I comprehended it IN MY SPIRIT, I was done. Guilt lost it's stronghold and THIS is my REAL stand.
Quote:
I say divorce, because the way you wrote that you were "moving on", made it sound like you were totally giving up on your marriage, and proceeding in the direction of divorce. Again, if this is a false assumption on my part, please let make know, and I will apologise for the misunderstanding.
I do NOT feel released to actually file a complaint for divorce yet.
