Subject: A divorced pastor in ministry? |
Bible Note: Raul I think you knew what I meant when I said God does not make provision for sin in our lives but that He did send His son to Dead for our sin. I think you know what I meant when I said God provided to remove sin from our lives. It is by His blood that sin no longer reigns but we have salvation and freedom from it. I never denied the priesthood of the believers and in fact I stand firm in my belief in it. However that does not change the fact that God did call some to be pastors and from this list He seems to have excluded divorced or unmarried men. Quite frankly maybe I read more into your reply than you meant but I really don't like the tone of your reply. I never attacked you I merely stated what it is I see in this scripture. You on the other hand seemed to want to question my basic doctrine, possibly my salvation and implied I needed to explain myself. EdB |
