1 | Faithful response to gays / lesbians? | Rom 1:21 | EdB | 87356 | ||
DAIRYLEADER5 Once again you bring it back to sin. Did God say a divorced person can not be a pastor because of sin? NO! God simply said the man should be a husband of one wife. Why? I don't know but I suspect it has something to do with the effects of divorce. A great example of marriage is taking two pieces of paper and gluing them together. Bone of bone and flesh of flesh. The paper is stuck tightly together. They move in unison as one smooth and flowing.. Now divorce comes along. As you try to separate the two pieces of paper you soon find pieces of one tears off and clings to the other and vice versa. You can never get the two completely apart. There is a residual of the one left on the other. There is never a clean sheet of paper ever again. Now the divorced person marries another, they are once again pasted together but their is hindrances to the perfect union, the residual that was stuck to the one is now between them. While they are pasted together and become one there are still lumps stuck between them. No matter what the person tries to do some of the old spouse is still there. Because they were once bone of bone and flesh of flesh. Perhaps to be the pastor God calls man to be requires a perfect union one unencumbered with the residual left behind by our divorced spouse. It may not have anything to do with sin at all. It is just something God doesn’t want in the man he calls to pastor. EdB |

Norrie Thanks I really don't know where I got it, either I stole it from someone else or the Holy Spirit gave it to me. But after years of counseling others I have found it exactly describes divorce. And the effects on future marriages and outlooks of both divorced people. I also know after 38 years of marriage it is so very true in my life. There is so much of my wife in me and I in her we almost don't have to talk to know what each other is thinking. Many times we just look to each other and nothing needs to be said. I was truely blessed for God to give me such a wonderful wife. EdB |

You are blessed! After 12 yrs, we here are like oil and water but this is no.3. What's funny is that 1 I divorced but I hardly remember he was alive, 2 died but he's the one I remember more...wonder how that one wife thing applies w/death and not divorce? But I understand exactly what you are trying to say about God didn't say it was sin, just His requirement. | ||||||
