Hello,
So im new to this forum. I have been a christian all my life. I came here to hopefully get some insight on the curret situation I am in as well as what the Bible says about it. I have been trying to figure things out as best I can but I cant seem to find what I need to in the Good Book to guide me in the right direction.

So I am 22. I have been dating my amazing boyfriend for 3 years now. We do live together (although I understand that people will disagree with this i ask that we save that topic for later, Im much better at handling one topic at a time). We work hard, both have jobs, ect. However his mother is very interesting when i comes to religion. She beleives that God talks to her, like actually hears His voice, AND that He tells her what she needs to tell her children to do. Now i unerstand that evey one has their own faith and relastionship with God, but how do I handle this. She is now taking it upon herself to tell my boyfriend that GOD said that Im not holding on to him and that he needs to let me go (as in end our relationship). It also just so happens that she has decided to say this AFTER i stood up for myself because she made us keep her to other sons for the second time, because she wont provide for them... What do I do. I dont want to be un christian but she seems to be a false profit and further more I dont like someone else controlling my household in this way.... Please hepl guide me to the right verses and help me understand what I should do and where I as a christian have the right to draw a line.

First thought.
Isn't your boyfriend old enough that he doesn't need to be tied to her apron strings?

2nd thought.
Why not get married since it's the girl in those 'living together' realtionships that ends up getting burned?

I hope that you address your first problem soon. You know what to do there.

Now for your problem that you want to discuss. First remember that he was her son long before he was your boyfriend. You and your boyfriend should set down together and read Matthew 19:4-5, Mark 10:6-7, and Ephesians 5:30-31, then discuss what you feel that in means, and how it applies to your relationship.

This is something you need to go to scripture with, and to a pastor who is truly a man of God. Do the two of you have a pastor?

From my studies, in God's eyes, sex is what makes two one so you are to work as a team. You are married in God's eyes, but not willing to back that up in your world so you are both a bit out of step with the Lord. Sorry for bringing that up, but it is a major part of this if we are trying to see this through God's eyes.

God sees you as married, so you are to honor your mother in law. That is true for a life time, but when we marry, we are to put our spouse ahead of any parent. Scripture says we are to leave the parent and cleave to the spouse.

Also, no authority is over God's authority. She is trying to use her authority to tell you to ignore God, to split the two of you apart on her authority when God says that when we become one with someone, we are not to break that. In the gospels it says that God allows divorce under certain circumstances, but that is only because there is wickedness in the world. Nothing in scripture says that it is fine to break this marriage (in God's eyes) because a parent says to break it.

So, by listening to scripture, you would first need to go for counseling to be sure you both understand what it means when God tells us that the two shall become one. That is a Godly marriage, and having a Godly marriage (even if you haven't honored your marriage in our world) is the first requirement. Next, you will need to work out together how to handle respecting parents and yet standing firm for God when she is asking you not to honor God. You need to do this as one; together.

Many people use 'hearing God' as an excuse to get their way. I've seen it done.

But the real issue here isn't what YOU need to do, it's what your BOYFRIEND needs to do. He either needs to learn to stand up to his mother, tell her to back off and butt out or there will be consequences to her behavior. This is not Your fight so much as His fight. And if your boyfriend is not willing to defend you and stand up for himself, then you need to consider if he's the right man for you.


On a side note, most Christians i have known do not equate sex to marriage. Wrong outside of marriage, yes, as well as living together, but not married for doing so.

Well said. It seems that the boyfriend needs to man up and stick up for his woman. You wrote an excellent post.

We speak to God through prayer and God speaks to us through the bible. It is no longer the case that God speaks directly to a person such as He did with Moses. That is a whole other topic with a long answer and many scriptures, but trust me, because of scriptures I understand that God no longer speaks directly, and there is no favoritism, we are all the same and treated the same, and dealt with the same. If she hears God's voice so too should I and every other Christian- it no longer happens.

When a man grows up and leaves the nest and starts a family of his own, his parents words change from orders to advice. It is good to advise someone in the ways that are right, but not good to force them or to use God as leverage to force them- which seems to be what she's trying to do. We will be judged on whether we chose in our heart to obey God- this is an area she cannot control- the decision has to be from that person.

When Jesus spoke to the woman at the well He said she had many husbands and the guy she's with now is not her husband. Living in fornication is a sin and will never be recognized in God's eyes as excusable. I'm not your judge, you have to decide for yourself, I'm just telling you what God says. A man will never respect and love a girlfriend the he would if she was his wife. I've lived in fornication myself, I know what I'm talking about. But I've since repented and no longer have the burden of that guilt on my shoulders.

If you both, you and your boyfriend are living together and I'm assuming that you are having sex as well, are consider to be in a marriage in God's eyesight. The minute when you have left your parents to be devoted to another which it means that you are married. Abraham have to leave his father's home in order for God to be with him and which that is a marriage and which God never abandon nor forsake whom He promise to be with. So if your mother-in-law is in your affair, just ignore the situation as if it were nothing. Whatever God had joined together, no one will be able to separate it, and even you or him will be unable to separate.

Your boyfriends mother sounds like a nut. Her claims that God is audibly speaking to her is just an attempt to control others, especially when she says, "God told me to tell you". Obviously, God is not carrying on a conversation with her, but I'd tell her that if God has any instructions for her son, to say it directly to him. Your boyfriend should tell his mother that he might be married by now, but that she has caused you to reluctantly live in sin because its preferable to having a scary mother-in-law like her. In fact, he ought to tell her that God told him to tell her that... Fight fire with fire :)

Prophets always follow God.
A prophet is a person that was given a message for the church when the church is not doing things correctly.
It does not sound like that is her messages,
so,
you can safely tell her she is a false prophet.

Telling her that should safely take care of your relationship.

secondly
the Bible teaches that fornication will be the last sin of Babylon that will kill the majrity of the earth
living in life together without marriage is fornication - definition.

So you either have to get married or split up.
al three of you are outside the Bible guidance

how is it you cant find solutions in the Bible?
THis is amazing to me

the Bible is very clear on these things and if you studied and prayed you would have found it easily by the holy spirit of truth.

Or is it that you did not get the answers you WANTED when you ASKED someonE?

Asking someone what the Bible says is a sure way to destruction...
that is what a used car salesman will tell you!

go to used car salesman and tell him

Which is the best correct car dealership in the entire world?

and what do you think he will tell you?

c'mon, get real, dont ask a snake where to sit.

Let me show you how to Bible study

1. The Bible is the word of God
2. It is GOD'S will for you.
3. Jesus wants you to SEEK the word for all your answers and follow them.

so, what do you do?
it sounds like you never have studied let me help you

first off go get a Bible
king james is ok.

here;let me help you...

e-Sword | Downloads

click on that link above

install the Bible
reboot and run your computer
now choose Bible KJV+

it has little numbers on it

now all you have to do is search for a word

you want FORNICATION (which means sex outside of marriage...

let me help you

choose the little binoculars and click on them

this is the search button and type in fornication

Rev 2:14 ButG235 I haveG2192 a few thingsG3641 againstG2596 thee,G4675 becauseG3754 thou hastG2192 thereG1563 them that holdG2902 theG3588 doctrineG1322 of Balaam,G903 whoG3739 taughtG1321 BalacG904 to castG906 a stumblingblockG4625 beforeG1799 theG3588 childrenG5207 of Israel,G2474 to eatG5315 things sacrificed unto idols,G1494 andG2532 to commit fornication.G4203
and scroll down to revelation which is the book for Gods people on earth in the last days so you KNOW it is right for you for we are in the last days
and God said to READ AND DO THIS BOOK right i the first chapter of revelation

so no matter what church yo come from
no matter how right or how WEIRD it is
you cant deny that you ARE supposed to READ and DO all of revelation
for Jesus told us to!

so here is a verse from revelation

Rev 2:14 ButG235 I haveG2192 a few thingsG3641 againstG2596 thee,G4675 becauseG3754 thou hastG2192 thereG1563 them that holdG2902 theG3588 doctrineG1322 of Balaam,G903 whoG3739 taughtG1321 BalacG904 to castG906 a stumblingblockG4625 beforeG1799 theG3588 childrenG5207 of Israel,G2474 to eatG5315 things sacrificed unto idols,G1494 andG2532 to commit fornication.G4203

notice the numbers after each word?
yes?
this is VERY VERY GOOD!

hover your mouse over the number and it will turn into a box that TELLS YOU THE REAL MEANING OF THAT WORD NO MATTER WHAT ANY SNAKE OIL SALESMAN SAYS!
that is the ORIGINAL GKING JAMES BIBLE when you click on the numbers that is the words BEFORE king james comitte screwed on it.

so let us click on FORNICATION

you see immediately it is used in KJV 15 times



fornication, 7
1Co_6:18, 1Co_10:8, Rev_2:14, Rev_2:20, Rev_18:2-3 (2), Rev_18:9

and it means

4203. porneuo, porn-yoo'-o; from G4204; pornographic, to act the harlot, i.e. indulge unlawful unmarried lust (of either sex), and to practise idolatry:--commit (fornication).

so haveing sex when you ar not married means ADULTERY
pornographic . UNLAWFUL SEX

so obviously the LAW is still in effect right?

thats what Jesus says.

Those that tell you it is NOT unlawful are people who have churches and who want as many peopl coming as possbible

for in 1997 more than HALF the people in the USA life in PORNOGRAPHY ADULTERY and are not married and they dont want to cut thier church income into half.

nos, since you mother in law claims she is a prophet and she has not warned you about living together is WRONG she is a FALSE prophet and you can tell her that.

Anyone who would live with you without beinb marrid is a bad man and it would be better not to marry him but split up and run far from that incorrect family as you can

ok

so lets see what REVELATION says about those who KEEP ON LIVING IN ADULTERY FORNICATION

"But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the FALSE doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock KILLER DOCTRINE before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols MARK OF THE BEAST BOUGHT FOOD, and to commit fornication SEX WITHOUT MARRIAGE." -Revelation 2:14.

God is ANGRY with churches of BALAAM who teach you it is OK to live together!
WOW!




"Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, sex without marriage, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols." -Revelation 2:20.

WOW!

A Mother in law letting you fornicate together without marriage is by GODS definiton is JEZEBEL! according to the Bible and she ALLOWS FORNICATION IN HER SON!
she really IS JEZEBEL
wow






"And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not." -Revelation 2:21.

Repent means to STOP SOING SOMETHING
FORNICAATINON ISHAVING SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE..
SO STOP HAVING SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE
SIMPLE BIBLE TRUTH
THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, every child can do it



ok so you dont LIKE what I told you and you dont change, what happens?


"Neither repented they STOPPED DOING of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication HAVING SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE, nor of their thefts." -Revelation 9:21.

too bad.. watch what happens:


"And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city CHURCH , because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." -Revelation 14:8.

The church that teaches and accepts living together is called BABYLON




"With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE AND DIVORCING AND REMARRYING." -Revelation 17:2.

The whole WORLD IS DRUNK WITH THIS OBNOXIOUS BEHAVIOR that goes against the word of God.




"And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour WHORE COLORS aACCORDING TO THE BIBLE - Ever been to st Peters church during a parade? what dolors do they wear?, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:" -Revelation 17:4.

sounds familiar...


"For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies." -Revelation 18:3.


"And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning," -Revelation 18:9.


"For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand." -Revelation 19:2.

you can read revelation chapter 19 to see what happens to fornicators and divorcess

I wont post it here because it is a family web site and it is too terrible to put up here.

So this is all JESUS TALKING

do you agree with JESES? then you are a christian
if you disagree with JEsus you are apostate.
that simple.

Jesus is the word of God

so why
has no one ever told you this before?
well, whoever did not tell you is GUILTY of YYOUR fornication and they in judgemnt day will pay for every sin they caused others to commit by saying

its ok to live together!

so the people that have told you its ok to live together

ALSO will recieve credit for every sin you do while in fornication

and if it is a pastor on TV and MILLIONS heard it is ok
his burn time is long long long before he dies

I would never never never say it is OK to live outside of marriage.
no way

so now you know
why BALAAM FALSE CHURCHS says
DONT READ REVELATION!
DONT DO IT!
IT MAKES YOU WEIRD!

BECAUSE WE DONT UNDERSTANDD IT! (they certainly do too!)

now you know
BALAAM BEAST FALSE PROPHET churches don't want you to find out the facts
the simple truth
of WHY GOD WILL DESTORY THE PLANET!
in REVELATION he says why he wil destroy the wicked

"BEcause they did not repent of fornication I will cast them into the lake of fire!"


Jesus WILL destroy the wicked because they are worse than sodom and gomorrha

at least sodom and gomorrha, the ones married stayed married
but here
they divorce like rabbits

its over

now you see why they just CANT UNDERSTAND RELEVATION
\ITS TOO DEEP FOR US
WHO KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS!

well it is not too deep for us

it is to EASY to understand

now wathc as the twisters of the devil come and try and do damage control and say FORNICATION is not that or htis

or they will atack my character (the Bible)
or whatever

but YOU are responsible and YOU need to search your own Bible

why?

Because if you rely on snakes they wont tell you the truth because they want your money

that simple.

When anyone ASKS 2thewaters to help them understand the truth
you wILL understand the naked truth
question is
can you take it?

YES!
With Jesus all things are possible!
Are you LOST?
NO!
JEsus says his church is in Babylon!
they are in FORNICATION!
he calls them his special church
he just says

Stop that
come out of her
stop fornicationg

and all you say is this

Ok JEsus I love you
and it is as you never did it before

but you cant continue to live that way

that is called sanctification
and you are special

so how do the churches prevent repentance and sanctification?
Devil hates that stuff

well he invents a false religion that says

you dont ned to do anything at all!
JEsus died for you right?
so if you even try to be good
you are ddwspising grace and you will be punished in hell foreve!

that is the devil

get thee behind me satan,.
