What follows from here, 'wacky' is the only word I know for certain will describe it with some degree of accuracy. As for the rest of the dictionary's entries? Only God can know.

I'm of untrained mind; I don't find writing easy: if I deliver my testimony in keeping with the intention of relating all the relevant points and thoughts in the form of full prose it would surely take me hours if not days; never mind how long it would take you fellows to read it. Instead, I'm going to present the spouses, Me and She, as bullet-point lists and, after that, a third list showing how we figure together. I hope to represent only that which is pertinent to /christian/. The order of points does not represent any chronology.

Me:

– Unbaptized; raised athiest

– Perrenialist period; then realized Christ was the exception and fulfillment of all preceding traditions

–Need to be saved

–Assent to St. Augustine's explanation of Christian sexuality

–Don't believe in divorce

–Don't want to have sex anymore; don't even want to talk to people anymore

–Assented to the murder of my unborn child

–Suspect that with that sin, I threw my whole life away

–Deserve Death, maybe

–Miserable; Christ is my only possible refuge, but I have made myself his enemy

She:

–Baptized; raised Catholic; don't know if she was confirmed; I think she was

–Non-practising; doesn't seem to pay God much mind, though I can't say she absolutely never thinks about Him.

–Killed her child, doesn't regret it: "It had to be done."

–Is willing to do great services for husband's happiness, like buying him an apartment so that he can be alone, away from her, if his peace of person requires it

–Loves husband very much but

Us:

–An on-and-off couple for 5 years before we were married earlier this year

–I've never slept with anyone else; she has, both before we ever were a couple and during one of the longer off-periods when she thought we were gone for good

–Love her very much; consider her a good friend though quite a stupid woman

–Harbor much bitterness against her, but blame myself for everything

–If we separated I would never allow myself to know another woman carnally, I would just live my life in perpetual penance working out my salvation with much fear and trembling, I just want to be alone with God

This has become a mess but I'm at the end of myself. How do I save myself from Sin and Death? I have no one to talk to.

You're in luck! Just become Baptist and you and your woman could have slurped that baby right out of the womb, eaten it together, and washed your hands in its blood afterwards and as long as you believe in Jesus, you're Heaven bound!

I don't want Woman anymore, I don't want anyone anymore, I don't want this corporeal life anymore! I only want His forgiveness, His Love.

What the fuck is your problem? A guy comes in spilling his guts and you can't stop meming?

It doesn't matter what you want, brother, that woman you're married to owns your body. She has rights to it, understand, and it's a sin to deny them to her, and if she falls into adultery because of it, God will hold you responsible.

You're a married man. You have to learn to serve God in the way that married people do, not like how monks and religious do.

Abortion is very bad, but no sin brings a neverending curse on earth. If you're still alive, you can still be forgiven.

If you're not Catholic, consider becoming so. Confess your sins to the priest, through whom Christ hears your contrition and sends his absolution. This is the remedy given for sinful Christians.

>Go to local Catholic Church on sunday

>Sit through mass

>Speak to Priest afterwards and say you want to join the Church

>Begin your life as a Christian

The first challenge to anyone who wishes to call themselves a Christian: To deny themselves and pick up their cross. You are at a crossroads, you have a choice between being wordly or to follow Christ which would mean drastic changes to your lifestyle. Changes that only God knows if you are willing to make.

No sin is too great for our Lord to forgive, even your abortion. Your wife can change, just like you have changed. Your worrying is unnecessary. Get your ass to a Church and just do it.

God knows her sins and yours. Try to be Christlike and pray daily that God will give you strength and wisdom to overcome your temptations and give you contentment.

Mathew 5:45-48

45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Hosea 3:1 (God talks to a man who loves his wife even though she's committed adultery)

Then the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is loved by her husband, yet an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes."

WTAF. Was that meant to be English much less a rational reply?

>>544078

< What God hath joined, let no man – including the husband – separate.

Deed's done, anon, for good or bad, better or worse. You no longer belong to yourself, you belong to her, and she to you. The Lord has clearly nominated you to work out your nascent faith in the context of the trials of her being at your side. No running from it.

Now, since you clearly can't write, I'll assume reading is an issue, too, so, here's your bullet points:

- Study the gospels, ascent to Christ, embrace Him, make Him the centre of your life

- Understand how forgiveness works in the gospel: HE FORGIVES. No sin is unforgivable but one, and you didn't commit it by murdering a child.

- Get baptised. Embrace Christ.

- Join a church.

- Commit yourself to Him, and begin working through how you can believe and practise your faith and remain committed to your wife.

- Seek strong spiritual leadership to help with this. Know that being married to an unbeliever is no picnic. Accept it. Learn to be patient. Know that this learning patience is the very trial God appointed for you from before the foundation of the earth.

- Know that she may leave you, but you must not, cannot, should not ever seek this or encourage it. Do all that you can to ease her into the same faith. Her path to salvation is through your witness.

SEEK CHRIST

DO NOT embrace meme-Christianity.
