b"\\u201cUnless you forgive and come back to me, you\\u2019re disobeying God and the Bible!\\u201d \\n\\nIf I were your abusive husband, I\\u2019d say the same thing. Why? Cause then I\\u2019d get what I want. Woohoo! Isn\\u2019t that what the Bible is all about? \\n\\nOh, begging your pardon. I was basing my opinion off how I see most church leaders and many legalistic Christians approach the Bible. \\n\\nWhich means that if you\\u2019re looking for advice on whether you should reconcile with your abusive husband \\u2014 and what reconciliation really means \\u2014 you\\u2019re going to get a whole charcuterie board of different answers. From biased people. Trying to interpret text that doesn\\u2019t give a full answer on\\u2026 basically anything.\\n\\nConsider this alternative: Ask a different question and provide your own answer. \\n\\nSound heretical? Then keep reading (and listening). \\n\\nIn this episode, I spill some tasty tea on:\\n\\n- 3 thoughts I have about about a husband who demands reconciliation (one involves an ax)\\n- Why people who accuse others of being unbiblical are actually doing exactly what they\\u2019re accusing others of doing (whew, that was a mouthful) \\n- The limitations of the Bible\\n- How to use the Bible to make a case for anything (genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, political ideologies, etc.) \\n- The danger of worshiping the Bible \\n- Why relying on the Bible for all the answers means you\\u2019re going to be constantly confused, shoved in different directions, and easily manipulated\\n- What we have that\\u2019s much better than the Bible\\n- What the size of God has to do with the questions like \\u201cDo I have to go back?\\u201d and \\u201cDo I have grounds for divorce?\\u201d\\n\\nListen or download the transcript at flyingfreenow.com/195\\n\\nFREE: I'll send you the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?
