Subject: A divorced pastor in ministry? |
Bible Note: You said- 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. I reply- Bare assertion again, the text doesn't support your private interpretation. You said- 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 I reply- Just trying to sniff out what you mean, I was starting to get some 'sinless perfection' vibes from you and just wanted ask questions before shooting... so to speak.
