NaWetinDey:
There may not be truth in this. But if there is, it could then mean that her major issue could have been that the pastor rarely touched her. If it's not about that, why then would she ever rush to be with another man, albeit legally, when she already has grown up children (which means that she's had quite a share of marriage fun). just thinking out loud.
May God save marriage.

lofty900:
Point of correction, Chris and Anita didn't co-founded christ embassy, Chris founded the church single handedly before he married her

Beckino:
if she really remarried then she has committed adultery (mark 10:11-12)
For this reason she obviously isn't fit to be called a pastor (the blind leading the blind SMH). Still, may God have mercy on her

sbm4real:


Pastor Chris did not single handedly start the church. Ask him about his friends that started the fellowship back in school.

Don't accord anything to me, put words in my mouth or attribute your thoughts to me. If you don't get any of things I raised go through my posts again.


Don't become the breeds of Nigeria Pastors and Prophets who create yokes and hang it as laws on their followers who will not care to study the Bible. I understand that some of such yokes/laws are becoming popular opinions

Like I said anything can be forgiven and forgiveness is encouraged in Christianity,

[b]....... adultery is a legit reason for divorce[ and remarriage

Neither the Almighty God nor the laws of the land will hold charges against a man or a woman who calls his/her marriage a quit on account of an unrepentant adulterous partner

. A pastor/bishop who divorced and remarried shall not continue in that office but can still serve God in other ways

Show me Bible reference of where the bible expressly approves of divorce followed by remarriage (for adultery reason) WHILST THE ex-SPOUSE IS YET ALIVE sir! - Matthew 19 vz 9? Matt 5 vz 32?

By d way, who's an adulterer/adultress? One who does it physically, spiritually or both?
You've cleverly avoided matt 5 28!
Based on ds verse, EVERY couple have 'legit' reason to divorce his/her spouse for adultery since, with d mind, which spouse can boast of abiding by ds 'law of d mind' as per adultery according to Christ Jesus! Or did Jesus lie when he said [b]thought=action/deed?

Another legit reason for remarriage is death of a partner. If the widow cannot remain as one, and she is young/attractive instead of hosting very many play boys she should settle for one. The same for the widower

buffalowings:


OK. I have a problem reconciling my personal beliefs with what I read inside the bible sometimes..

Somehow, I'm conflicted

Prince16:

**%&#*%??


... and I concur!
.

Adultery - a legit reason 4 divorce, I concur, but 4 remarriage, no!



Again, I concur!

I concur.... ds can be found in Romans 7 vz 2-3


Conclusion: the time is indeed short.......

(1 Corinthians 7:29 KJV) But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

(1 Corinthians 7:31 KJV) And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.


(1 Corinthians 7:32 KJV) But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

(1 Corinthians 7:33 KJV) But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
Cheers!

GBAM!

ephi123:


Will you people be saying this if it was Pastor Chris that re-married?
If Yes, then fine. If No, that's double standard

bayelsaowei:
oya na either the woman should never contemplate marriage or be ready to be single forever if she ever thinks of a divorce from a chronic cheating idiot....

Topgainer:

You gave your own inference.
Mt 19:9 you quoted
Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
If the whosoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery except she was divorced on account of her committing fornication. It is simply saying that he is guilty of of committing fornication ie adultery if he divorced his wife and remarried for anyother reason except...
the same woman who is sent away except on the condition that she was adulterous if she marries another man is guilty. If Adultery is involved the man and woman divorced are free to re - marry is expressly implied.
But the problem with you folks is that you are quick to isolate only the divorced path and throw away the sequel which explained that the reason the people(the man) divorced was to go and marry another from that passage. Divorce and remarriage were inseparable in the discourse
Jesus didn't say any other thing about the fate of the divorced on account of adultery like death of partner. So don't go and add the words of Paul to it because it is a different scenario
Paul says the divorced should remain single except there is a death of a partner. He spoke of the flimpsy excuses that people divorced for in the prevailing Jewish culture of then. For him, such flimpsy excuses should not be entertained. Therefore, if one is separated from one's spouse the person should patiently wait as there could be chances of reconciliation, however, he didn't specifically mention the words of Jesus which dealth on the weightier issue of Adultery, which of course, he, Paul, cannot overrule.

Topgainer:

You made a lot of sense but traditional Christianity shouldn't be a yoke to anybody. First, teaching about divorce and remarriage Jesus said the only condition for it not to be considered breaking of the standard is that there should be a verifiable accounts of adultery on the part of the couple. That in itself is not an unforgivable thing as difficult as it may seem many men and women who aren't even Pastors have forgiven their partners caught in the very act, many are still happily married. So, if Anita had established a case of adultery in her marriage she has not broken any law re-marrying
Secondly, one thing these generation of hybrids have failed to realize is the high recommendations and level of blameless expected of any man who chose to be singled out from among the people as a pastor or bishop. Paul wrote that such a person should be blameless, a husband of one wife or a celebrate. In otherwords, it is not proper that she goes on with the title Pastor Mrs Anita Schafers. She could still serve God as Sister Anita Schafers which is a more appropriate title that will not present unbelievers cause to continue mocking Christians.
Personally, I don't like Christ Embassy. I don't see it as anything near a Standard Church

I might be wrong to say that they are fake but are they real?

What is the place of his healing school in the Word of GOD? What did JESUS do? Did JESUS advertise his healing? Did he organise healing programmes and trainings?

coolcharm:
How can this people claim to be of God when they cannot practice Forgiveness and Love which are foundational to the Christian faith?

With what guts and conviction will they teach their congregation to forgive one another as Christ forgave the church?


When Men and women of 'God' cannont exhibit forgiveness and love which are fruits of the spirit, and coin out terms as 'irreconcilable difference' then you know that the devil has finally worn prada!

And so, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only when I was with you but even more now that I am absent, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12

Let's focus on living a an acceptable life before God and leave all these bling bling and hyper prosperity pastors alone.

aperture11:
This is quite unfortunate. God guide us all. I left the church a few years ago but I can tell you that the foundational principles of Christ as taught from the bible by this man of God I know now, I learnt in that church. I still use the principles and it works.

I strongly believe mistakes were made and the human element took over.

I pray continue to guide us all. The story doesn't ring true though, but if it is, I wish them both well.
