1 | Elder must be 'the husband of one wife'? | 1 Tim 3:2 | kalos | 7023 | ||
EdB: I have no quarrel at all with your point (if I understand you correctly) that case histories alone do not prove anything, except that a certain thing was true in at least one particular case. I would never put a case example above Scripture. And I believe it was not Hank's intent to do so, although I neither could nor would attempt to speak for Hank, who is quite capable of speaking for himself. (No offense, Hank, if you are reading this.) You write: "I too have known men and women that have successfully carried on in the ministry after the disaster of divorce. But I’m forced to ask a question was it God’s perfect will or something else?" Is it God's will is always an appropriate question. And, as we know, God's will never goes against His forever-settled-in-heaven Word. But does the Bible prohibit ALL remarriage after divorce? "Some believe that Paul here excludes divorced men from church leadership. That again ignores the fact that this qualification does not deal with marital status. Nor does the Bible prohibit all remarriage after divorce (Matt 5:31,32; 19:9; 1 Cor 7:15)" (John MacArthur). EdB, I am not deliberately attempting to antagonize anyone. My only intent is to provide information related to this thread. :-) |

JVH, You are so right in your belief that it was never my intention for case history to supersede Scripture. And I do not believe that any such notion was expressed or implied by what I posted. Frankly, I'm becoming rather gun shy and reluctant to post anything on this forum for fear that my molehill will be turned into a mountain. As one whose major study in school was the English language, I'm starting to wonder whether, at this late stage in my life, I have forgotten (or perhaps never really learned) how to construct a single clear and unambiguous sentence. Have I become all of a sudden bereft of any ability to communicate? --Hank | ||||||

For communication to work, both a transmitter and a receiver must be operable and in operation. I have no trouble with your transmitter. I hear you loud and clear. Maybe the problem is in the various receivers. Perhaps some are short on batteries. A reminder to them: always check first to make sure it's plugged in and the power is on. | ||||||
