Please watch for the full article on this important subject on the home page of freedomchurchofgod.com. It will appear soon. And be sure to open your Bible and read the many passages below so you can prove all things for yourself (1 Thes. 5:21). This amazing truth has been hidden from most Christians, including pastors and TV evangelists, but you can know it now, and it can change your life if you are willing to hear and obey.

Our Freedom Blog on both of our sites has exploded with questions from people who have been trapped in unforgiveness and in problems that would have been unheard of fifty years ago. The challenge of bringing the hearts of the children to their fathers by forgiving them and of turning their hearts to their Father God is greater than ever, and it is more crucial than ever. A storm of soap opera style comments and questions ensued when a man who gave a false name showed the symptoms of a son who had not forgiven his father. Some bloggers named the syndrome this man was afflicted with by his name. Much polemic followed, until a prayer warrior name Ruth prayed all night for clarity on the situation. God inspired several prayers that we posted and reprint here. We have only edited the blog comments slightly for clarity’s sake. “I have spent this whole night reading and praying over this … syndrome and all those that have become the victims of it. I choose to declare to all [those with this syndrome] and others...

Because of requests, we have copied and pasted the father-hating syndrome from our church website. You can always find it there by searching with the above words in our title.

Former Wife of an Addict Speaks Out One Christian woman who had to divorce her husband put it this way: “They say that you owe them sex for everything. Whenever you make a mistake you have to make it up to them through sex. Whenever they make a mistake you need to make them feel better by having sex with them. Whenever they feel aroused (which is pretty much always) you have to have sex with them. Whenever they lust after someone or something, it’s always your fault for not having sex with them enough, not "fulfilling your God-given obligation." She also relates how their unforgiveness creates spiritual blindness: “They really like to say, ‘I'm sorry your so wrong and mixed up. I'll let you make it up to me through sex,’ or else they'll apologize for their weaknesses, say they're going to try harder, and twist the (one-sided) conversation around so that whatever the issue was, it is your fault for not having enough sex with them. Essentially, they say ‘I'm so sorry. I'm really a great guy. Everyone else knows...

We re-publish with edits the prayer Ruth prayed for those trapped in unforgiveness to abusive fathers. We encourage those so trapped to read the prayer out loud, even if you are not yet ready to turn over to Jesus all the pain in your heart and forgive. We believe simply reading the prayer aloud can plant a positive seed in your heart. God bless you all with freedom.

The Father-hater as Sex Addict Sex is a hot topic today. Satan wants it so, since his perversion of this wonderful gift from God in marriage is one of his major weapons in these last days. He knows that he can have permission to bring back the flesh and sex-hungry giants as in the days of Noah (Mat. 24:37). God foreknew that the great need in the last days would be for son to forgive father so he could forgive Father God (Mal. 4:6). God knew that this unforgivness would cause sex addiction that would open big doors for Satan and the possible destruction of all mankind and humankind as in the days of Noah. The father-hating syndrome can also apply to hatred of an older brother, and women can also have this syndrome with somewhat different symptoms than men. We have seen, however, that it is principally masculine father haters who become addicts whose motto seems to be, “get sex now,” with no regard to the readiness of their wives. In our sex-crazed society singles and married folk alike seem to have forgotten...

If you are (or were) the wife of one in this father-hating syndrome, how did you cope? What did you do that might be helpful to another wife suffering under such abuse? How long did it take before you knew what you were dealing with? For those who divorced, how long was it  between your realization of the problem and your decision to divorce? What did you do to give your husband a wake-up call? Any success stories? Any advice to wives with husbands in this syndrome?

In the following post, we cite certain principles from Gerald Budzinski’s teaching on freedomtruthseekers.com to air Friday night shortly after 7 PM MDT. He entitled his sermon, “Who Needs You?” We encourage you to listen, and we whet your appetite with this second part of our blog post series on sex and the father hater. 

Unforgiveness often brings sexual evaluations rather than correct evaluations of others according to their character. You are evaluated according to how sexually appealing you are and how much sexual pleasure you can give. In our society today, apparently cars are sexy, and some are sexier than others. That’s not how God evaluates us, nor is it how we should evaluate others. God “does not take pleasure in the legs of a man” (Ps. 147:10). Evangelist Jesse Duplantis quipped that he could not be attracted to the hairy legs of a man. Beautiful feminine legs could be another story, but God does not evaluate women that way either, and he does not want men to evaluate women as sexual objects....
