Husbands, Wives, Marriage and Instruction According to God's Word

Husband and Wife in the Bible (in the KJV New Testament) Husband(s) is found 59 times. Wives is found 12 times. Wife(s) is found 75 times. Marriage is found 16 times. Marry is found 16 times. Very few of these verses are instructions for husbands and wives. These are the few instructions for husband and wife and there are no contradictions with one another: Why Did God Give Adam a Wife? Genesis 2:18-25 KJV And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: a...

Marriage: A Biblical Perspective

When we think of our lives we often don't see things from the perspective of the truth we find in the bible. When we do that our definitions can be wrong and our actions based upon our realities can dictate our action, inaction and reactions. If you believe God's word to be true then you should agree with following statements. If you do not agree then you will have a different perspective of how you should live life as a human and as a spouse. Many people that name the name of Jesus Christ as Lord do not understand some simple facts and if any of these points you are confused then go to the Word of God and dig deeper.  Ask God for wisdom from Him knowing that you know He knows all and you do not. 1. God created us in His image and likeness.  That is pretty awesome. Genesis 1:27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 2. God gave a commandment to Adam before Adam had Eve as his wife: Genesis 2:...

Do We Suffer as Believers? What Is Suffering?

Greek word usage in New Testament. Suffer  (english word)  is used in the New Testament in many ways in the KJV.  Here is a verse that uses the english word endure where in other places suffer is used and then this verse also uses 1 Peter 2:19 KJV For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. More detail on that above verse: 1 Peter 2:18-20 KJV Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. 19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. Sample verse selection: 2 Timothy 2:11-13 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if...
