RELIGIOUS SEPARATION,IS IT GOOD FOR THE CHRISTIANS

[frank walter ebietomere]

Just recently it happened as an argument in my place of work,that some body ask a question,in is question he ask, is it right for christians couple to attend different churches?on the basic that they agree before doing it,as an Evagelist  i have try to proof to them that is not a right thing, base on the fact that there could be a wrong thing that is right,but people  will not see it as a wrong thing.The bible tell's us that we should be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion,walketh about seeking for whom he may devour 1 peter 5:8. Now the question is. is't right for a christian  family to be attending  separate church whether it base on agreement or not?Discuss

[A.W. Bowman]

No, it really is not 'right', but understandable if the couple represent two different theological view points. However -

The danger is that the wife is now sitting under the spiritual authority that is not her husband. This creates a divided loyalty within the home and undermines the role and authority of the husband to rule over his household. A wife cannot submit to two masters except within the marriage relationship - even as it was in the beginning. Adam, Eve, and God.

When Adam wanted to see the results of allowing a fourth member (Satan) into the relationship, death soon followed after.Even adding a 'spiritual men' into the mix, who does not teach the union between one man and one woman includes more than just the marriage bed, he is not doing the couple any favors. Relational conflicts must follow.

The motivation for such a divided relationship, however noble or religious sounding, cannot abide good for the participants. Sooner or later the marriage will either have to fail, even if the couple remain together for the kinds sake or other nice sounding justifications, or the couple must repent of their divided loyalties and reunite in a single, shared spirit before God.

The same arguments hold true for the children of such a marriage.

A house divided cannot stand.....a couple whether they are of two different theological views, God warns us about being unequally yoked. Division is not good, especially in a marriage this is why God instructs us, but we don't listen and thus our divorce ratings are rocketing, which has affected the entire families....now look at the world. Now I know some peope who have and I do remember them being separate on alot of occassions other than church. One thing for sure, God can't be no where in it, because God is not about confusion nor separating, especially a couple He has joined together. So, that is the answer...God will bring about peace and one would compromise and there will be one church for that family. I agree with Mr. Bowman.

Everyday, I see the people of God looking more and more like the world and God instructs us in this area also, but we don't listen, everybody is making up their own rules and regulations and following that road straight to hell.
