First of all, I am a Christian and there is no way in hell that people suffer because they are "bad". What kind of Loving Father would do that to His kids?
Do you think all the little kids who get cancer are sinners and that's why they are ill?
Job never sinned and look at what happened to him!
Sure, sin is a big part of why the world suffers but it's not as exclusive as you sin therefore God punishes you with cancer.
No wonder you're stressed out! If I thought God, who helps me through really tough times, was punishing me I'd feel worse too.
Tell hubby to get real and tell him that he's blaspheming when he says God is punishing you. God Loves us all and we suffer here on earth because of sin coming into the world. Everyone, good or bad, Holy or not Holy, suffers and that's a fact. Sooner or later your hubby will have to deal with that and it will be a harsh lesson for him to learn.
I suggest you talk to your priest about it...see if he can make your husband understand that what he says is not only wrong, it's blasphemy.
Offer up your suffering for those who suffer in the world. Jesus suffered and so did Mary and they never sinned once.
Also, I strongly suggest you talk to hubby about his attitude. If he can't accept that you are ill through no fault of your own then perhaps some marriage counselling might help.
I couldn't stay around someone who was constantly berating me and telling me my illness was because of "sins".
Do talk to a Priest about it or perhaps some Nuns. Or maybe get your Dr to talk to your hubby and family.
This is a real illness. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise and don't wait on any of them either. Tell them your so-called sin illness has made you far too ill to wait on their lazy selves.
Hang in there.
P.S IF you are able to go to a Church that has a toilet in case you need it it can be very helpful but if your Church is not supportive Pray for another one that you can go to. Not all Christians are narrow minded.
