I am new here, but I would like to add a comment about the thief. He didn’t even ask Jesus to take him with him. He only asked HIM to remember him. He didn’t expect to go with Him, only that HE remember him. BTW: That is a bit of a problem for the churches that continue to add rules and expect us to keep them. The thief apparently did none of that!

Hi DaisyMae. Usually I simply open the Word at one point or another and study from there. Welcome to the forum. Merry Christmas by the way.

Hello.
Thank you for remembering Brent.
Yes, he now is pain-free and we celebrate the life he has lived.

A beloved brother we'll see again either in the "calling out" or in the presents of the Lord in heaven. Either way, I'm looking forward to it...

I just heard about this new domain. I was a member of the old bibleforums.org site for 12 or so years. I spent the last 6 as a mod.

Hello shepherdsword. This isn't the original BibleForums my friend. This I would guess would be a revival of such.

Jesus didn't mention domestic abuse (probably because women were not considered equal during his time...) but obviously this is also grounds for divorce. Call me a heretic for adding to scripture, I don't care.

You're not a heretic Matt. The Bible says in Malachi 2:14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. 2:15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 2:16 For the Lord, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
These verses condemn treachery or unfaithfulness toward your wife, which can be understood to include abuse.

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
These verses also teach husbands to love their wives sacrificially, following the example of Christ, which precludes any form of abuse.

Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
This verse directly commands husbands to treat their wives lovingly and without harshness.

1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Husbands are instructed to honor their wives and treat them with understanding, recognizing the spiritual inheritance they share my friend. Just because Jesus isn't quoted directly as saying this, he is the Word, and his word through Peter, Paul & Malachi said it pretty plainly.
