Bible Question: Can anyone please tell me where in the bible it speaks of pastors only having one wife i know i read it i just dont remember where |
Bible Answer: Kaylynn: Welcome to the Forum! One Scripture is Titus 1:5-9. There are other Character qualities that are listed besides having one wife, which are just as important. The question of a one wife Elder has been debated in Demonations, Churches for many decadeds. Some say this that under no conditions, death, the wife leaving, or these events before becoming a saved man, there are no exceptions. Others say Paul was refering to multi wifes (poligmany). Some think, this lists referes to character not qualifications. Both have scripture to back their perspective view points. We do have pastors today serving Churches who became divorced while in the pulpit. One such Pastor is Dr. Charles Stanley, and he has quite a large ministry, and he is Southern Baptist. Southern Baptist which as a general are rule not inclined to accept divorced men, or men who are married to a divorced woman. Some think this is too harsk. Others say it is reality of Scripture. I have my own opinion but have presented this a nutral as I can. I grieved that divorce is as common is the Church, as it is in the world! Something is seriously wrong. Blessings justme |
