i know it souds crazy,we are both christians. i have shown her every single passage from the bible concerning marriage and divorce. and there has been no adultery.
she honestly believes this. i tried to explain to her that the LORD is not going to tell her to do anything that will contradict the word, that if it doesnt coincide with the bible it is not GOD speaking to her. that he cannot contradict his own word.
thanks PAT
Pat, I'm pretty much in the same situation. My H believes that God spoke to him and told him to "Depart, depart, shake the dust from your shoes." He is a believer, and I was not at the time, and the Bible directly says he should have stayed with me. (1st Cor 7) In my case, there is concern that my H is mentally ill, however, I'm now hearing that many Christians have thought that that God told them to leave their spouses.
I am going to church now, meeting with pastors, praying and reading the Bible. H says distantly, "Good for you, you keep up with that." It makes no sense whatsoever from a Christian perspective.
It can hurt a lot when someone tells you GOD wants them to leave you! It made me wonder, well, what does GOD think of me then? A pastor told me to not let his idea of God taint the true image of God for me. God would never tell a spouse to leave their family, unless there is adultery/abuse involved.
Anyway, I'm sorry you are going through this. I wanted you to know you weren't the only one hearing such a message. Hang in there.
It makes no sense whatsoever from a Christian perspective.
