Beware of the Pretenders Mine-fields

Beware of "Christians" who advise a woman to look at pornography in obedience to her husband. The one who pressures the woman to sin is from the devil, whether it is the husband or the false church.
I was appalled many years ago when a supposedly Christian man advised a new believer to obey her husband in watching filthy X-rated pornographic movies to be obedient to her husband.
She came to this man for counsel because she was in turmoil at having to watch this filth and he further destroyed her soul by counseling a lie using the Bible taken out of context.
It occurs to me he should not have known the account of Abilgail who disobeyed her husband to honor God. You can read about it in 1 Samuel.
This self-proclaimed scholar could not have known the scriptures about the woman being the counsel to her husband when he interprets the Bible to abuse her as long as her husband wants to do so.
God told the woman to obey her husband in all things when it pertains to godliness. God never tells us to obey a wicked man who wants us to sin.
A good example of when a woman obeyed her husband after he suggested they sin was the story of Ananias and Saphirrah. God counted Saphirrah's obedience to her husband as "conspiring with him." Her husband was killed by God for lying to the Holy Spirit and then she was also killed by God for obeying her husband.
Nowhere in that passage does God say He would spare Sapphirrah because she obeyed her husband. She was killed just like her husband.
When a woman comes before God at judgment He is not going to ask her did she obey her husband, He will ask her if she obeyed God.
Notice Saphirrah obeyed her husband and was killed by God for it and Abigail disobeyed her husband and was blessed for it.
Wives are not extensions of their husbands, they are individuals with responsibilities to their household. That job was given to them by God, not their husbands. They are to execute that job the way any CEO of a company would do. When their husband is wrong they are to counsel him as a CEO would counsel the president of the company.
If the husband will not listen to his wife who warns him about sinning then she is to do the right thing anyway and leave her husband to God. Wives are never to sin to satisfy a husband.
This ought to be a warning to all those who take scriptures out of the context of the entire Bible to justify their own desired belief system.
The narcissistic controller cares only about controlling others so they make up rules God never made and oppress others with these devilish ideas.
Beware of adding to scripture, ignoring passages or making up your own ideas to justify your narcissism.
We live in a world now in which anyone who tells the truth will be treated with contempt and much disrespect for daring to tell the truth.
May you who love the Lord become so strong that no worldly pressure, mocking or demeaning will cause you to capitulate to the ways of those who love themselves more than they love God.
Remember if the bully does not get you to submit to them they will try to turn others against you with their lies. Ignore the bullies and their friends as you continue on with Christ doing what you know to be right according to the Holy Spirit. Quote Scripture to anyone who comes to pressure you into submission to their traditional mind-fields.
James 4:7
"7 Submit therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
