Accusations of improper response to domestic abuse

In March 2022, The Roys Report published an investigation implicating Grace Community Church and John F. MacArthur. [51]Several women victims of domestic violence were reportedly asked to return to their husbands, under threat of excommunication. MacArthur associate pastor Carey Hardy allegedly told a victim to lead by example and “suffer for Jesus” by enduring her husband’s abuse. A church elder, Hohn Cho, allegedly urged MacArthur to reconsider the victim's request, who told him "forget it." The victim was humiliated twice, in May 2002 and August 2002, by MacArthur in front of the congregation for having finally divorced her husband. In 2005, the victim's husband was sentenced to 21 years in prison for aggravated child molestation, corporal injury to a child, and child abuse. After the publication of the affair by Christianity Today in February 2023, the pastoral council denounced “lies”. [52]

aggravated child molestation, corporal injury to a child, and child abuse

I was unaware these were Christ like qualities and actions. Wonder what Bible they use at that church.
