This issue right here.... man there's a lot that divides Pentecostals. Sleeves, service style, wine or grape juice, skirt lengths... the list goes on and on..

However, in my short travels, it would seem this issue divides more Pentecostals than all the other issues combined. I've seen it both ways. I've seen men and women be innocent, have a companion that goes crazy and the innocent party stays single for DECADES because of the organization they happen to belong to.

Also, I've been in church services where ex-spouses have to sit on opposite sides of the church with their new husbands/wives. In fact, I've been in services where there's 2 or 3 such situations going on, in the same service.

I know of a preacher that years ago was a popular singing evangelist. Had a pretty young wife. Things went south. They both backslid. He went through several women. Now, 10 plus years later. He's got another young wife. Found Jesus again (supposedly) and is trying to start a church somewhere in Georgia.

I suppose, as with most questions, the true answer lies somewhere in between all of these scenarios. Jedi, I don't disqualify you from anything. Then again, I'm not your pastor.

Re: Divorce and Remarriage

My Pastor is actually having a minister, Brother Carroll, come to his other church to give a three-night session on his studies about Biblical evidence concerning divorce, remarriage, and its effect on the ministry.

I'm excited about it, but more than likely I'll be working.

I know Bro Carroll. I like Bro Carroll. I've even listened to some of his teaching on the subject. However, it's hard to imagine that he can be objective about it, given that he's divorced himself.

Could you not say the same about alcoholics and drug addicts, murderers and fornicaters, liars and extortionists?
Or any other sins?

Absolutely. Although, I'm not sure divorce and alcoholism are the same. Bro Carroll teaches that he can remarry, which is an obvious benefit for him. Would a former alcoholic teach that he can drink again?

That's why the comparison makes no sense.

Re: Divorce and Remarriage

Does not remarrying make one an adulterer? Explain.

Re: Divorce and Remarriage

I know this is a touchy subject and the last thing I want is to make someone feel bad, I wish you all successful elderships, ect.

But, I'm not clear on the subject.

when the bible says an elder must be the husband of one wife there are only two options right?

*one wife in a lifetime, or
*one wife at a time

so, was polygamy common in the new testament church, making it necessary to make sure that elders only had one wife at a time, because the rest of the men could have multiple wives?

Seems an odd conclusion, in another thread, we are saying that fornication makes two people one flesh in the sight of God.

Yet we know that there was polygamy in the OT, were two people one flesh, one at a time?

Or, is all that really matters is that the (wife/wives) is/are a virgin so that the man can make sure the kids are his, and if she cheats he kicks her to the curb and gets another one to make sure the kids are his?

because women are a commodity right? but men can fornicate, have multiple wives (one at a time) and be the Pastor no problem?

I think its the marriage that makes two people one flesh and not just fornication.
