Finally told my wife about my belief, her reaction was......

Ok family, i finally did it. I have been internalizing all my beliefs from my wife because i did not want to cause division in the home. She knew about 1 month ago that i did not believe in "hell". She never really questioned it, just made some comment about me not believing Jesus. Lately when we discussed God i just spoke of his love and how unconditional it was. She was very attentive when i spoke about our father's love.

Yesterday she asked the question, " what have you learned that you can say it is a wrong teaching?" I answered that the tithe was totally wrong. She was shocked.
Then she really asked "the question".
      Why do you not believe in hell, are you 100% sure?
I was shocked, my mind raced and me heart skipped a beat :HeartThrob:. Her eyes were not challenging, she was really interested in my belief. I was,  for the first time since believing in salvation for all, ready to give an answer for my hope.
I explained many of the scriptures that refute ET. She did ask the questions that i thought she would, i.e. LOF, wide and narrow gate etc.. . I was suprised that i gave, although not as thorough as some of you here have, a good answer. When i was done, i asked if she thought i was crazy, "no" was the answer  :Egyptdance2:
I thought when i went on telling her about salvation for all she would really lose it. Well, she maintained her demeanor and really accepted what i was saying. I am sure i planted a seed and just pray that God will water it.
I was able to tell her how i felt like a prisoner at home because i could not share my beliefs with her. I must admit that it was a liberating moment when the whole conversation was over.
I must say that i would not have been able to do it without you here at this forum. Thanks

Do you think she believes what you told her; or does she just accept your view?

Very cool Santikos.  Praise God!

I am more than glad of her accepting my views, Although she might not fully believe them at the moment. I was once like that not too long ago.I know that she will have questions, but i am just going to focus on the love of God and let her see the difference by my conversations. I believe God will do a work in her heart.

Great!
I did tell my wife when I found out but well, I have a habit of being against mainstream christianity and she just thought it was another beef of mine but as time passed, she saw how much closer I am to God and how hungry I am for His word and she's beginning to tend toward this belief.
I think it starts with our family.
