Re: The Divorcee:
If the Pastor is the injured party, his wife was unfaithful and she leaves/divorces him, is he unqualified from ministry?

No, the instruction of husband of one wife meant the guy had to of been married at one point in time. Because ruling over a household was a criteria for the preacher to rule over the church assembly.

I’m glad my parents got married. I wouldn’t be here.

Since he had to rule over a household "well" would a divorce indicate he hasn't ruled his household well?
Or, would a divorce indicate he HAD ruled it well by expelling a troublemaker that refused to be reformed?
And would the issue of a divorce be something the local assembly has authority to investigate and render a determination one way or the other, based upon the particular circumstances?

Sadly just as God had to do in Jeremiah 3:8.
But I teach that we stick together, that divorce is never a fix. God told a prophet to marry a prostitute, and to buy her back at the worst point of her life. To raise her children. I don't believe in people leaving a church for the wrong reasons, meaning if they are upset with a church family, they need to work it out. Also friendships, should never break up, but should be repaired through love.

I'm not sure that the Gomer story fits here. If a brother-in-Christ was about to marry a hooker, we would be bound to show him Paul's admonition "be not unequally yoked with unbelievers".
