Abusive people can come from all backgrounds, issues, etc. <br /><br />At times I think some are to 'me' focused as far as the feminist, authority, etc. They are threatened by what they 'say' is some God given role, and how people are trying to take it from them. Its quite amazing how powerful they think humans are in that aspect.<br /><br />When your focus is purely 'marriage stays together at all costs' you tend to miss the big picture. No doubt there is a huge amount of tunnel vision going on.<br /><br />Sadly, if you try to point any of that out? I know I get attacked. I think it is that way with loads of other issues as well. <br /><br />Thank you for your comment.

But a person doesn't have to be a typical patriarchal complementarian to abuse his wife - he could simply be a psychopath or a selfish atheist.<br /><br />What I don't get is why people buy the lie that feminists are the culprits. Since when has feminism infiltrated the church? Of all my Christian friends who are divorced, none were influenced by feminists! I read a blogpost where CBE was used as an illustration that there are people in churches intending to usurp male authority.<br /><br />The other telling distortion among Christian leaders is how they emphasize "God hates divorce" but downplay God hating violence or hating evil. There is one verse implying that God hates divorce, and if you google "I hate divorce" you find 16 pages dedicated to doctrine on divorce not being allowed. There are many verses about God hating evil. Yet if you google "I hate evil" you get 2 pages about how God hates evil. And if you google "I hate violence"? None.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
