TERRY: PAT THIS FIRST E-MAIL
QUESTION COMES FROM ANGELA, MY
HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED
16 YEARS AND HAVE 4 CHILDREN.
HE HAS CHEATED ON ME THE ENTIRE
MARRIAGE.
HE SAYS HE HAS GIVEN HIS LIFE TO
THE LORD, HE HAS BEEN BAPTIZED
AND READS THE BIBLE.
I FEEL HE IS NOT CHEATING
BECAUSE OF HIS TRANSPARENT
BEHAVIOR, STILL HIS PAST
BEHAVIOR HAUNTS ME.
HAVE I REALLY FORGIVEN HIM?
PAT: ANGELA, THAT IS TOUGH,
ONLY GOD HAS THE POWER TO PUT
THAT IN THE SEA OF
FORGETFULNESS.
WHEN YOU STAND PRAYING, ODD
AGAINST ANY, FORGIVE.
SO YOU FORGIVEN HIM, CONTINUE TO
WALK AND HOPE AND PRAY THIS
THING WORKS OUT.
YOU HAVE CHILDREN TOGETHER, A
LIFE TOGETHER.
AND IT WOULDN'T HURT IF YOU
TALKED SOME TIME TO THIS GUY AND
SAID HOW COME YOU DID THIS?
YOU KNOW, BE HONEST WITH ME.
HOW DID I FAIL?
WHAT COULD I HAVE DONE FOR YOU
THAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT BETTER.
TERRY: MAYBE AS YOU SAID,
WHEN YOU SAID EARLIER, SOMETIMES
THINGS HAPPEN IN A MAN'S LIFE
WHEN HE IS A YOUNG BOY AND
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
PAT: IF HE TALKS IT THROUGH
WITH HIS WIFE, SIT DOWN, SAY HOW
COME YOU DID THIS?
BE HONEST.
IF HE IS HONEST, IT WILL CLEAR
THE AIR.
THAT IS TOUGH.
MAYBE HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT IT.
IT WILL HELP HIM AND YOU.
TERRY: HIS PAST BEHAVIOR
HAUNTEDS HER.
WHEN YOU FORGIVE SOMEONE, IT
TAKES TIME TO MOVE PAST.
PAT: SIXTEEN YEARS, THEY
LIVED TOGETHER AND CHILDREN,
MULTIPLE AFFAIRS ON AND ON.
HE IS A SERIAL ADULL TER.
TERRY: HI PAT, I LOVE
WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB" BEST
PART IS WHEN YOU PRAY.
WHEN YOU PRAY FOR HEALING DO YOU
GET A WORD FOR RESTORATION OF
MARRIAGES?
I HAVE MANY FRIENDS THAT WATCH
THE SHOW AND PRAYING FOR
MARRIAGE RESTORATION.
PAT: RE WE PRAY FOR MARRIAGE.
THE LORD SAYS I HATE DIVORCE.
KING JAMES, HE TALKS ABOUT BEING
FAITHFUL TO YOUR WIFE OF YOUR
YOUTH.
HE PUTS THE LONELY INTO FAMILY.
HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT FAMILIES.
WHEN WE PRAY FOR THEM, HE
ANSWERS.
TERRY: THIS IS KATRINA, I
HAVE DEALT WITH ADDICTION MY
WHOLE LIFE.
MANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS WERE
ADDICTED.
I STILL STRUGGLE WITH ADDICTED
FAMILY MEMBERS.
DOES GOING TO AL NON CONFLICT
WITH LEADING A CHRISTIAN LIFE?
PAT: I THINK THE WOMAN THAT
STARTED AL NON WAS A CHRISTIAN.
VERY MOVING BOOK ABOUT WHAT SHE
HAD TO GO THROUGH.
TO GET TOGETHER WITH THE PEOPLE
THAT HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCES
AND TALK ABOUT IT.
OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING GOING ON.
MAYBE SPIRITUALLY, MAYBE GENETIC
THAT PREDISPOSES PEOPLE TO
ADDICTION TO VARIOUS TYPES OF
SUBSTANCES, YOU NEED HELP TO
DEAL WITH IT.
SO I DON'T THINK IT WILL
CONFLICT WITH YOUR CHRISTIAN
FAITH AT ALL.
TERRY: SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE
WHEN JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS, HE
WENT TO HELL TO DEAL WITH OUR
PUNISHMENT.
PAT: BIBLE SAYS HE WENT TO
HEAVEN TO PREACH.
HE TOOK THE SINS ON IF CROSS,
GOD SMOUED HIM AS HE BORE ON HIS
BODY ALL OF THE SINS OF MAN
KIND.
HE DIED FOR ALL OF US IN THAT HE
DIED, HE DIED ONCE.
HE DIDN'T GO TO HELL TO PAY THE
PRICE FOR YOUR SIN.
TERRY: JAY SAYS WHY IS THERE
SO MUCH REFORMED THEOLOGY
APPEARING THESE DAYS.
WORD REFORM MEANS TO MAKE
CHANGES.
ANY CHRISTIAN KNOWS GOD'S WORD
IS PERFECT.
PAT: MAY I RECOMMEND YOU
STUDY A LITTLE HISTORY.
REFORMATION CAME ABOUT AS A
PROTEST NEXT THE SACK DOAL
PRACTICES OF THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH.
A LOT OF THINGS INCLUDING
SELLING OF INDULGENCES AND
MARTIN LUTHER PUT HIS THESIS ON
THE WALL OF THE CHURCH IN
WHITENBURG.
THAT WAS THE REFORMATION.
OUT OF THIS HAS COME A NUMBER OF
THEOLOGIANS WHO WROTE IN THE
POST-CATHOLIC MODE.
MOST PROMINENT WAS JOHN KELVIN
FROM GENEVA.
THEY ARE CALLED REFORMED.
DUTCH REFORM, SWEDISH REFORM.
THAT IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT.
ISN'T THAT THEY ARE CONSTANTLY
REFORMING.
[LAUGHTER].
IT IS THE NAME OF THE THEOLOGY
THAT CAME OUT OF THE
REFORMATION.
TERRY: THAT IS ALL THE TIME
WE HAVE FOR QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU FOR THAT HISTORY
LESSON.
PAT: HAVE TO HAVE HISTORY.
