Thanks KS. I did mention spiritual warfare back in the newcomers post. Don't remember which one. It was part of the homily for one of the Masses I went too.
Thanks for the link on west side. I tried to check it out, but it blow out the browser on the video. I'll try it again later.
BTW, they are fundamentally flawed in their theology. In the salvation section. They state.
Quote:
We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works.
Wrong. We are saved by grace alone, which is by our faith and through our works.
"It is by Grace you have been saved, through Faith- and not from yourselves, it is a gift from God!" Ephesians 2:8
That's where the sentence ended.
Says nothing about works.
You are getting off task again and thinking you know all there is to know about the Word is very dangerous. Taking something written by man - even if he is claiming to expound on the Word - is even more dangerous.
Get the Bible.
Pick a scripture.
Translate it backwards to it's original language.
Find out about the time the words were spoken and to whom they were spoken. That's the best way I have ever found to get to the heart of God's Word.
If you are going to grab onto something, make sure it's solid.

Phil, consider this: If you don't move for some kind of legally binding agreement regarding the kids (it can simply be an agreement that you and your wife sign in front of a notary) you are liable to find yourself in a position of defense against your wife and in-laws in a courtroom. Take that warning for what it's worth to you but don't stick your head in the sand.
And don't be so foolish as to think your wife needs you for childcare if nothing else.
A written agreement signed by both parties is enforceable in a court should worse come to worse but meanwhile, you would be protected against outside interferance which I think could be on the horizon.
