1 Peter 3:7

1 Peter 3:7
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
Hey ladies!
I bet there are many of you that do not like to be labled the weaker partner. Am I right? Know why I think this? Because for centuries man has abused you reminding you in a condemnation form this edict. So, what is the reaction? Resentment, hatred, vengeance, payback, do the things man can do but even better. The nevironment is so negative that you want to even attck this verse because of the abuse.
But what is the result? Men dodge you and avoid marriage because they do not want you to usurp authority over them. Result: slippery slope towards zero reproduction. Man and woman approach extinction. That's not going to happen, but we may come close. We may come close.
There are a lot of good looking women out there [OH MY GOODNESS YES!!], but many of them have a job that once man was in now they have the power or they are extremely smart thus intimidating a man. Ergo, these folks are like the plague and at all cost many not all men say: AVOID! AVOID!AVOID!
Setting aside abuse ladies and men, I eman if there was not a history of abuse, how do you interpret 1 Peter 3:7? That's the way ladies and gentlemen is the real way you have to really interpret 1 Peter 3:7.
Are you men imitating Jesus in that you are allowing GOD to work through you so as Jesus loves the church his bride you have the same love towards your wife?
Wives, is not the church weaker vessel, the wife, the bride of Christ. Without Christ what can we do? So wives what can you do without the husband? Mind you after your husband leaves you are single again so please understand that after you die you will do all things in Christ Jesus.
So husbands because the wife is so dependent on you or she will fall in her countenance if you not put on Jesus and your prayers hindered! Does your love run so deep that as Christ died for the church, you would do likewise if you got the call? And wives you know your husband in spite of all the history of abuse sinful man has imposed, do you not wish to immitate the righteousness of Jesus in your husband by obedience, discipleship, and yes agape love?
On man, take care of that precious gem given to you by GOD. Take extra care. You are your wife's best friend. And if you in Christ make effort to express this to your wife, your wife will be your best friend too even like you willing to lay their life for the family!
Oh man oh wife in this process it is crucial at all times Jesus become your best friend in quiet times and through each other.
AMEN!

Matthew 18:15-22

Matthew 18 15Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 18Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. 21Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.Is this a portrait of what the church Jesus will built? Is this the standard the Chrsitian church should parctice? Or, is this The Church that Jerusalem practiced before churches were declared Christian beginning at Antioch?Read Matthew 15:17:17And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Sounds like a condemnation towards a believer in Jesus. Yes? But, we are not suppose to condemn or judge! It says judge not that ye be judge! Right? Right?Be careful! I bet some of you are saying, "I don't want to go to a church like that! This is condemnation not restoration!"Sometimes it takes a declaration like that to TURN A BELIEVER AROUND and restore seventy times seventy. See there is more to Matthew 15:17. It's goal is to not to condemn actually but to get back a person restored to the attitude every believe have or should have: The woman with bread crumbs FAITH!!!! Matthew 1522And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.Then that joy of fellowship with GOD is completely restored! What Jesus did with the woman with bread crumbs should be The body of JESUS CHRIST should be towards a brother or sister who has fallen but come to the normal mode of what a believer in Jesus should be in their gifts: COMPLETE RESTORATION in an UNCONDIONAL FORGIVENESS mode as if such a fallen incident by a brother or sister never occurred seventy times seventy- everlasting unconditional forgiveness of FATHER forgive them they know not what they do in Jesus name for we are THE BODY OF CHRIST! Let every member of The body of Christ take not and act accordingly. When we do such this process there no pride or self righteous but the atittude of what we once were and restored by grace through faith not without works:Matthew 15 27And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.We dare not forget this when dealing with fallen brothers and sisters less we get caught in a snare of their fallen nature.So, are such brothers and sisters in danger of eternal LAKE OF FIRE? No, but untill they are restored they are most miserable and we the body of JESUS are most miserable if we reject such a brother or sister that desires complete restoration no matter what they have done including pedafillia, murder, homosexuality, abortion. In other words the sky of unconditional forgieveness and restoration is unlimited. REPENTANCE WITH CONFESSION BY FAITH IS SO KEY!"OK Lane you are so smart how can, just how can we be sure these brothers and sisters of such caliber of sins really mean what they say?"You CAN know and it's the only TRUE LITIMUS TEST of a believer IN JESUS: Hebrews 11 6But without faith it is impossible to please HIM: for he that cometh to God must believe that HE is, and that HE is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.So we just let those of sin with social or societal impact from their sins release from prison. If I were in charge and I knew by faith which I do believe works would loosen their chains. However, we live in a world of secular, pagan, godeless kaos which will be delivered to The Lake of Fire some dau save those who are forgiven by Jesus. However, the consequence of a brother or sister restored even if in prison are no longer under an edict of consequences for consequences has lost its sting and a new ministry inside a prison which is no longer a prison but a mission of grace in Jesus Christ.I have more to say later. Stay tune!
