Kcleejc,
Bearing in mind that in Hoovie's hypothetical scenario the sinful pastor later repents is it your position that God does not forgive adultery?

Yes. The key word here is "repents". All things are new after repentance. We tend to only like that concept when mercy is being applied on OUR behalf, but God is not petty and He readily dispenses forgiveness even to those whom we tend to view cynically.

OK,...(just thinking here,..) so to those who answered "yes"....
does that mean that everything is back to being "peachy-keen",..and he gets to carry on with his life and his ministry as before? (food for thought here,...)...what's your take on this?

Re: The Husband Of One Wife
This is one of the many places the bible teaching is explained away.
Mar 10:11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
Point blank. Period. End of story.

Yep, but what if she runs off? He didn't put her away.

Mat 19:9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery."
Mat 5:32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
