Jesus said that no one should divorce excpet on the grounds of adultery or fornication (Matthew 5:32; Matthew 19:3-8.) This would obviously include the bishop, or overseer of the congregation. If the overseer were to divorce his wife on grounds other than fornication, then he would be scripturally disqualified to serve. 1 Timothy 3:2 is showing that the person must be a husband of one wife. That is he cannot have more than one wife. This does not disqualify someone that is single. Paul himself recommened a single life. (1 Corinthians 7:25-27). If a man were to divorce his wife on grounds that were not Biblical in God's eyes there was no legal divorceing and thus if he remarries and she remains single, he would also not qualify to serve in the capicity as an overseer. This Scripture also shows the wrongness of not letting an overseer or bishop of the congregation marry as organizations have stipulated. These teachings must have come from demons as is stated at 1 Tim 4:1-3. |

"However, the inspired utterance says definitely that in later periods of time some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired utterances and teachings of demons...forbidding to marry." - 1 Tim 4:1,3. Paul had prophesied that there would be a time that would come when certain religious organziations would listen - rather than to the Word of God - to the teachings of demons. |

I really didn't make myself to clear on that I'm sorry about that. I'm sure if we can all be blessed with enlightenment and understanding of Scripture if we meditate on it with a humble heart along with prayer and holy spirit. And it's okay to differ. Thank you for you kind comments. |
