I have a dear loved one that has gone home with her 3 childern, She had no job and no place to live. She said she felt convicted about the way she was living. She feels that she must lose everything to gain a everlasting relationship with God. She is willing to live in a homeless shelter instead of going back to the home she left. She was not abuse, cheated on or anthing like that. They were just living sin. They both love each other. He has accepted his mistakes and stepped up as a man by going to counseling and church to better himself (issues from the past relationships). I can not understand how a person would do what she is about to do and not try to work it out and if it don't work atleast she can get money to move into a place instead of just giving it up. I mean I love God, but I just don't see putting my family out on the street like that. Do you know anybody that has done this and what happed to them. I hate to see people destroy themselves like this. What would God do?

"Giving advise is harder than making a well"...It is easy to come to conclusions without knowing all the details. She seems determined, and it looks she puts principles ahead of a relationship - which in some cases it is plausible. You sound as a person who cares deeply about the other, I am not sure but "there is peace among people of good will" and understanding. She might be able to correct what it's wrong and you may move forward to what it's right...Both going to the same end, things are 'workable'. Again, decisions taken mst be supported with knowledge , and not by fanaticism or superstition, or people hearsay. Your actions must be motivated by love and knowledge. If you miss any of them you are both half blind. In the end, why not ask God for help? He knows you and your needs. Talk to Him. Give us some details, maybe we can help. Never despair.
Life is full of sufferring. This is exactly why religions were created by men long ago to soothe the minds of the people who suffer.
Pray and see if God will help you out. As believers always say God only helps those who help themselves.
Actually, this means God does not really exist. But people want to have faith God exists. Oh well, this was why religion was created to do its purpose.
Give her a bible to see if she will stand up and fight headon with life on earth. Or maybe give her a Buddist book to read. That could help.
Or teach her atheism of logic. Confront life head on using logic. Logical thoughts can solve all sorts of problems. Just use logic.
What is her problem now?
I suggest the following in case she has these problems.
1. If she is an drug addict - get government help.
2. Unemployed with kids? Get welfare at the same time go back to school to learn a skill.
3. If she can't read or write then go back to adult school to learn to read and write simple English skills. Then, work part time while still on welfare.
4. Marry someone who can help out the family. Go to a Church to see if there are single men who wants a wife with a few kids. If she is beatiful, she should be able to get some rich believers easily. Don't kill the husband and take his money because she could go to jail for life. The cops look for the sife first if something happens to the rich husband. Cops are not dumb.
5. Last - work hard and study hard to make a life. One makes a good life or bad is determined by the individual.
Did your first sentence mean left home?? If
it did, I hate to tell this woman, if she is doing this
because she is not married, the bible says
if you dont take care of "your own" you have
DENIED THE FAITH and are worse than an infidel. ( non-believer ).
Not only that, In Gods eyes you are MARRIED
to the person that you sleep with, so while
they should get married , and be legal,
In Gods eyes they already are....
Even Jesus told the woman at the well,
"you have 5 husbands" when she claimed
she was not married.
I think if anyone takes their kids out of a home
and their is no abuse, and puts them in possible
danger, they are flirting with being considered
unfit.
i wouldn't try ignore it like you do, sorry to tell you this but you have to do better than this. feeling sorry for a loved one is very shamefull, you either help or not. i won't tell you what i would do, which would consist in very harsh talk against her actions. you can only do one thing in this life and that's to continue living, clinging into some frustrating past will never give you peace of mind. Don't just tell her, but demand if you really care then you must prove it.
"They were just living sin." Some people wake up and realize there is more to life than living in comfort and covering over mistakes. You have seen the wisdom of the man who was in her life. Why deny hers?
Jesus had no place to call his own. He will watch over her. There is nothing to stop you from being an assistant as he does so. She has many great blessings in her future.
answer: smack the woman for endangering her children. Shelters are somewhat safe, not totally safe and neither is living without a home. She could have thrown his tail out if she was going to push the "righteous" thing.
Live your life to the fullest! Life is short! Worship God in everyhing you do. And also LOVE your neighbor and enemies. That's the great commandment of God. You don't need to show to others that you obey God. It's between you and your God. We don't know what God think about him. But just do what He commanded. "LOVE"
God certainly would want the children taken care of. People do some very strange things in the name of religion.
First of all, I am not really sure what you mean by gone home...but I have a distinct feeling that there is more to the story....and that possibly, you are not in on all of the details?
Let her go. She's trusting in God and God will take care of her.She need counseling to work her issues out in her mind also. Be supportive.
