God Bless, Dave <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes it was sarcasam. I have long since forgiven and made peace with ex. It just saddens me to see people who are willing to work for the Lord, being told that they just aren't good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has full support from our church leaders and even from her unsaved family. She's good at it. She just doesn't get paid. If you are called to preach or minister then go for it.

Alot of preachers and teachers are now divorced and remarried do you think it matters one way or the other??? In Christ IreneM <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It really depends on the circumstances if the Man put his wife away and then remarried I do not beleive that he should be a shepherd/elder/pastor of a congregation. If the man cannot be faithful to his wife how can he be faithful to his calling and the flock of God. However if she left him and then he remarried and he did all he could to save the marriage then I beleive that he has proven himself faithful to his covenant of marriage.

Jesus states that any man that has lusted after a woman has committed adultry...if we hold this to be true then how could any man be fit to be a pastor? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> exactly, who is worthy to become a pastor? have not all sinned and fallen short? mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean that you should divorce at the drop of a hat, but there are people who think you're supposed to stick it out with a spouse who cannot be trusted to tell the truth or one who abuses you (and lying is emotional abuse I might add). I wonder what the reaction of these people would be if it happened to them; would they "stick it out" for years on end or would they call it quits? If they called it quits, I wonder what excuse they would give not to give up their position as a minister? In my opinion, it's those kind of people that also give this line about a divorced, forgiven person not even being welcome in a church! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
