Law of love

From Flying Free FB page

I just heard from another victim today who told me her church requires 2-3 witnesses to the intimate partner abuse she has experienced throughout her marriage. They are giving her the boot for escaping.

Religious people quote the verse in 2 Corinthians 13:1 to back up their hateful response. The thing is, they aren't applying the law of love to their application of that "rule." This is what the Pharisees did. Their rules were black and white, and that's why they condemned Jesus for healing a man on the Sabbath. Jesus came and modeled wisdom in applying the law and made it clear that the law of love trumps the Mosaic law. But Pharisees back then and today refuse to acknowledge their insight. And that is why they continue to abuse God's children.

Abusers thrive in abusive churches. Some women need to not only escape their marriages, but also their churches.

2 Corinthians 13:1: This will be the third time I am coming to you. "By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established."
