I hate to see my husband goto hell but he says he believe in god and has faith but how can you have faith if you have no knowlage of ogds word and how to live your life to be saved to go to heaven ?

Answer 1

God created each of us differently. It sounds to me that you were created with a great longing in your heart to be close to God. This is a gift. Cherish it.

But it sounds like your husband doesn't have that. Accept him the way he is -- after all, God created him that way.

Answer 2

The Word says you and your household shall be saved. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian. Believing in God doesn't make you a Christian. Knowledge of the bible doesn't either, But Confessing Jesus as Lord and Savior, asking forgiveness of sin and inviting him in does. From that usually comes a hunger to know more. If your husband can't meet you where you are at, Then can you meet him where he is at and lead the way. Leading is showing by example, Not pushing.

Answer 3

Hello kitty. he IS listening to God's word. God's word is NOT found in a book. it's found in the hearts and spirits of those who simply take and MAKE the time to liten to him. If YOU find God in a book then I'm afriad that ALL you've found are words on paper. To have a PERSONAL relationship with God is FAR more valuable than having the words of a book. He listens to what God is saying to his heart and spirit. He getrs it directly from God. YOU need the words in the book, you need to have someone else tell you what God is, how God is, why God is and When God is. You have your book and have assumed that HE is going to Hell b ecause he doesn't KNOW the Bible. He hasn't done that to you, now has he? so, WHO is TRULY listening to God's word? You or HIM? And, finally is what YOU are doing the act of a loving wife? If THAT is love, then he'd be better off without you.

Answer 4

Very good question. I happen to be in the same boat. I am a young Christian woman. I have a male friend that I have known over a year. He respects my Christian values and views. We both like each other but he says he believes in God but doesn't read the bible either. I desire the same for him as well. We are possibly looking to get married in the future but his views or beliefs about the bible is small.

Answer 5

oh boy in the world there are hundreds of religions and several ancient religions not even in existence today do you really believe that god will love just the few who pay attention to a specific list of rules? I think people know right fro wrong and that god loves all of us who believe regardless of believe as long as were a good person

Answer 6

I totally agree with Meg M. All you can do is pray.

Maybe you can find some very convincing reasons to tell him.

Quiz him to see how much he knows and maybe when he realizes he doesn't know much he will start reading the bible

Or maybe you can find an easier way for him to learn about the Bible. probably he doesn't enjoy reading the Bible.

Answer 7

you stay married because God only makes one allowance for divorce in the Bible and that is infidelity.

How do you live your life to be saved? You are saved once you accept Jesus Christ. That's it. It's not how you live. I'd be headed to hell too...we are still sinners, but are saved by His grace!! Don't give up on him. God won't.

Answer 8

My husband is the same way. All you can do is pray for him and set a good example by striving to live a godly life yourself.

Answer 9

And you didn't notice this before you married him?? If you accepted him and married him that way, I don't see that you have any grounds for questioning "staying married" to him, especially since you vowed before God to take him "for better or for worse".

Let him believe what he wants. It's his life, don't push anything on him.
