God is love, and God so loved the world He gave His own Son for us, yet some folks disregard God’s love and instead enjoy lying by saying Christians will one day endure God’s wrath. You’re right @Gideon300, he will have to give an account for his idle words.
WARNING: GRAPHIC ACCURATE DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS
We live with whole "churches" that are "blessing" Sodomy, the deadly act of sticking one's reproductive organ into a well-spring of POOP, running abuse against a weak sausage liner that stands between that poop, and death by sepsis via three painful days of agony after bloating with infection and organ failure.
The most basic Ol-Factory lesson we learn from a very early age "eww, that stinks, get me away" is turned on its head, for this idiocy.? It's not an accusation where it's true.

You have a twisted and jaundiced view of church. Not everyone accepts homosexual relationships and I know people who have left churches that do. I'd not attend one that did. "Church" is everyone who is born again, not the make believers or unbelievers who attend for selfish reasons.
You can write "Ichabod" above the door of many places that call themselves church. The real church is of Christ, clean, pure and holy in God's sight, even when we struggle with some issues.

Absolutely! If you don't, you could be responsible for her death.
I new a woman who was in a similar situation, and warned this woman who was set to marry a very abusive man. I told her in great detail the things he had done. She replied that he had never been abusive and this man had treated her like a queen.
I lost contact with both these people, they did get married. About 5 years later I ran into the woman in a Vancouver. We talked a bit, and I asked if she was visiting Vancouver. She said no, she lived there now. She told me she was forced to leave this abusive man. Soon after they were married, his behaviour changed from Prince Charming, to the cruel and evil person I had told her about. She admitted I was totally correct, and realized he would probably never change. She was armed with the knowledge this abuser had done this before, and she needed to leave, and she did. She thanked me for giving her the common knowledge of that area.
If you fail to warn someone that a man (or woman) is dangerous, violent and even crazy, I truly believe you will in part be held responsible for what goes on, esp abuse, mental sexual, financial or physical.
As for God changing the abuser into a more gentle, kind person, he certainly could. Unfortunately, these people are not Christians, and have no motivate to obey God and become a good husband/wife. Abusers are sociopaths and psychopaths. They have zero empathy, they are extremely controlling, and do not care more for their spouses than themselves and their evil motivations. Never tell anyone to stay with an abuser.
I remember arguing with a long time Christian woman about that. She believed the woman should go back to her abuser and show him the light of Christ. People who can hurt and damage other people without remorse will never be suddenly changed because the spouse returned to be a doormat. They are blind, and cannot see the love of God in their spouse. No woman (or man) should ever have to live in an abusive marriage. In Canada, it is against the law to abuse your spouse. These people can and will go to jail for the crime of assault and battery at the very least! They are criminals. Would you let a criminal continue to batter their spouses/girlfriends? I hope a warning is the least anyone would do.

It's called The Battered Woman Syndrome. A girl grows up being abused by a father, step-father, uncle, etc, the lesson she learns is that she is worthless, not loveable. She also believes that ALL men are like this. So when a boyfriend or spouse stats abusing her, the woman literally knows no other way of life. She has no idea she can walk away!

I took courses on abuse when I was a chaplain working with people. I hope people will read these articles!

Actually, the right homonym was PIECE. "We've spoken our piece." Very similar to "give you a piece of my Mind!" In other words, a portion, part, our opinion.
"What does it mean to give someone a piece?
phrase. If you give someone a piece of your mind, you tell them very clearly that you think they have behaved badly."
Peace as you spell it, is an absence of anger, troubled, noise, animosity.
"freedom from disturbance; tranquility.
"you can while away an hour or two in peace and seclusion"
I detest spelling errors that are just laziness. But even worse is someone posting something right, and another person condemning them and telling them they are wrong, when they are not!
