Bible Note: Newoldstock, Given the information that you have stated, it seems as if the pastor had a very good handle on all of the particulars and details of the situation. But I do realize that there are many things that contribute to adultery and divorce. Even so, the way that the wife handled it was a shame to herself and to the entire congregation, not to mention the husband and the new man that she was with.. The shame would be on the pastor, also, if he had not chosen to act. Blessings to you, Makarios |
