BREAKING THE RELIGIOUS HUSH, WHAT DOES GOD HAVE TO SAY ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AMONG PEOPLE WHO PROFESS TO LOVE HIM?
EZEKIEL 5:11Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity
Malachi 2
1And now, O ye priests (Christian husbands), this commandment is for you.
2If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
3Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces. . .
4And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you...
5My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
6The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity (i.e., spousal abuse).
7For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
8But ye are departed (apostate) out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
9Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
10Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
11Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god (this would in joining with the spirit of the whore thru pornography--which is to unite to baalim).
12The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this...
13And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
14Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously (i.e., harsh treatment, cruelity, abuse of all forms): yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed (i.e., children witnessing abuse is evil). Therefore take heed to your spirit (REPENT), and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
16For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth (DIVORCE & ABUSE which causes separation--the solution is the blood of Jesus--healing)putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment (violent spirit in husband), saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
17Ye have wearied the LORD with your words (verbal, emotional & mental abuse). Yet ye say, Wherein (come out of denial) have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
