I want to be very clear.

I hold ZERO tolerance for anyone who believes the bible says you can beat and abuse your spouse.

There will be no debate on this issue.

Abusive men are weak and full of toxic femininity. These are not masculine men. They are possessed by the Jezebel spirit.

Abusive women are no different and can also be possessed by the Jezebel spirit. This is not a male/female issue. This is a masculinity/femininity issue that is infested with sin.

The Jezebel spirit is controlling, domineering, manipulative, and usually sexually immoral often using their sexuality as a way to control people.

While I leave room for various theologies and love a good debate between minds, there has to be a line that doesn’t get crossed.

I could see in this man’s previous comments that he was influenced by this spirit, but this comment told me all I needed to know.

I am far from a perfect husband. I fall short in many areas. I am not claiming to have the moral high ground here. But being the head of your house is not dominating over your wife by physical or mental force. You are complete as one and are to work together as one, each with specific and unique roles to play, and sometimes that’s difficult.

We treat people as we treat ourselves. If we feel poorly about ourselves, we tend to treat our families poorly. This man clearly hates himself, and I fear for his family as he uses the lie that the bible says it’s ok to beat his wife.

I felt the only solution was not to tolerate such discussions or fellowship with someone who believes this is sound doctrine and block this man.
