I struggled for years and years to make sense of Christianity. I was raised by a father and grandfather that were both ministers. I should have had the answers, right? WRONG.
My first huge shock about Christians and Christianity, in my church anyway, was when I was getting a divorce from my Marine husband who was beating me.
I was “informed” to show up for a special meeting “in my honor” at the Church so they could decide whether I could or could not remain in the Church because Divorces were forbidden.
I was NOT told what the meeting was about until I got there. They told me that if I wanted to remain in the church, I could NOT get a divorce. I explained that IF I remained with him, I”d be “dead.”
They wanted ME to bring him to Jesus. I told them I could not. and I would have to leave.
Their response: “Why are you leaving Jesus?”
My response: “I’m NOT leaving Jesus. I am taking him with me.
I walked out; and never looked back.
