God Said No To Abuse. Period.

 

For too long Christians have been deceived and destroyed by a lack of knowledge and false teaching on the subject of abusive relationships.

 

Abuse is not condoned in the Bible — at all, ever, in any relationship or under any circumstance. God detests abuse and hates feet that run to shed innocent blood. Scriptures out of context, half text, distorted text and manipulated text are the sources of misguided and false teaching regarding abuse. Without exception. 

 

God never ordained submission as permission to abuse. No woman is a man’s punching bag — physically or emotionally, no Christian is called or assigned to be an emotional crash test dummy for demonic, destructive behavior…God never said that His intimate relationship covenant was a safe haven for an abusive partner. Abuse is a covenant breaker, a soul breaker and a faith breaker.

 

 

Suffering for Christ’s sake is not to be confused with suffering for abuse sake. You are not a martyr for abuse at the hands of man for his evil pleasure.

 

Forgiveness does not guarantee reconciliation or opportunity to abuse again. Forgiveness frees the victim from the bondage of anger. There is no requirement to forgive and reconcile, forgive and tolerate, forgive and forget or forgive and be subjected to even the possibility of being reinjured, re-abused, or re-destroyed.

 

God’s covenant with us overrides and supersedes any relationship with man. Ultimately, Christians have to be people who are concerned with saving people even more than they are with saving relationships — abusive, soul destroying, covenant breaking, God defying, demonic, mind crushing and oppressive relationships.

Any man-ipulated message you receive from anybody or any church that contradicts or is contrary to this teaching is false and exalts itself above the knowledge of God: “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ” (Colossians 2:8).
