The Biblical Law of Effectiveness and Domestic Abuse

The Biblical Law of Effectiveness and Domestic Abuse

What is domestic abuse?

Domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner. Abuse is physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person.
God never intended for his creation to rule and reign over one another because mankind is made in his image and likeness.
 Genesis 1:26- 27 reads then God said, "Let Us make man in our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
 Ruling over another person denies a God given right to exercise free choice. Man is a free moral agent given the right to choose by God that even he does not violate.
