The fact you have said relationship rather than marriage makes it sound to me like you have entered into a long term relationship outside of marriage. If that is the case I would suggest you repent of this situation as well.Hello! Doing a thorough search, with biblical reasons for separating from a relationship, with a willful sinner, who has continually apologized for his violations against me and continues to go back to the same behavior he apologized for. I need to add here: This isn't repentance which I know is, a 180 turn in the other direction.
Anyhow, I found numerous scriptures that stated what I needed to do:
Matt 18:14-18 ~ Go- take witnesses-go to the church ---Did that
1 Cor 5: 11-13 ~ Have nothing to do with them Did that
1 Cor 6 ~ take the serious violation to the church instead of the court (family --of God/not a building)
2 Tim 3:1-5 Have nothing to do with them.
Lastly about 40 verses in Proverbs, regarding how to handle a fool; basically, someone who returns to their vomit.
NOW my questions...
After explaining all of my biblical reasons to his Christian friends (yes he calls himself a Christian and will argue profusely that he is!), for not associating with this unrepented sinner. They said, I was being unloving, unkind, impatient and so forth. Also that "Jesus would never forsake anyone " his mother said. THey completely disregarded the scriptures. SHEESH!
Why are so many soft on sin?
What am I to do when they themselves are believers, and don't live with this man and don't see his violations/issues/repeated sin on a daily basis? I don't want a divorce I simply want him to get a wake-up call. THis has helped trememndously....but he hasn't fully repented (my hope still stands for his restoration)
How do I explain it better to those who we know, other than how the verses explain it?
However, whether you are or are not married it does not mean you should suffer any abuse. You mentioned a rage issue and if that results in violence against you or psychological abuse I do not think you should subject yourself to more.
