Hank, Titus 1:6 also supports my belief that a leader should be married, to one woman. Paul was never the permanent church leader, he moved on. So I do not think he fell under the title of being a leader. Also, by the text, I think a widower could be DQed from being a leader ... but I am not going to demand my way. I would be more vocal if the wife (who is a Christian) ran away with the postman and a divorce results. She would have to say she wasn't a Christian for him to be able to serve. Steve |

Steve, Paul most definitely was the leader, being a minister to the Gentiles. Here's more to consider: Enoch, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Elijah, Elisha, John the Baptist, Andrew, and John the apostle, who is also called 'the elder'.. Where is there any mention of their wives, since they were so prominent in leading Israel and the church? These were all single men, unless you can prove me wrong. Would each one of these be qualified to be a pastor/deacon/bishop/elder in a church? | ||||||
