My Pastor Justified Taking Another Wife With Scripture, Is He Right? by Debeloved87(m): 11:20am On Sep 05, 2015
My pastor's marriage crashed last year, thou the marriage produced children and the parting seems unreconcilable even thou i think it fell on domestic issues and also the fact that the wife doesn't really flow with the pastoral call of the husband as her pastor husband wish her to.

Recently the man of God was talking about it and he said that he will take a new wife very soon anytime he is ready, and he ask us whether its scriptural but we just giggled and he told us that it is scriptural that we should open the book of 1 corinthians 7:14-15 "for the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband, else where your children unclean but now are they holy; but if the unbelieving depart,let him depart, a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases:but God has called us to peace...

This actually was a little bit confusing to me, since the wife in question wasn't an unbeliever... Is my pastor right with his assertions?

"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" (Matthew 19:9). These are JESUS' own words.

Sadly this unstable generation will do everything to justify ill actions. Marriage partner is a choice that bears consequences. Men must learn to live with the outcomes of their choices.

Not in general... But he can't take another wife, until the other is dead.

He can take another wife IF and only if he divorced the first on grounds of infidelity...else, he's on his way to doom.

While not justifying the action of your pastor which l have no right to pass judgment but for your seek l choose to advice. Brother, Christianity is highly spiritual this is why the Lord instructed us not to judge others because you never know where He has granted grace. lf l want to go by the letters your pastor is wrong but where do we place the leading of the Holy Spirit in matters so complicated as this. lf you are in doubt where your pastor stands before God [if you care that much] you should seek the face of God concerning his action. Meanwhile, many will lie against the Holy Spirit to justify their actions to their own perils still that doesn't negate hearing instructions from Him. As Christians we are to live by the Holy Spirit and walk after the Holy Spirit...Gal 5:24-26.

thanks.. But am not passing jugdement on him and everyone here supports their opinions with the scripture... The scripture is vast and attimes we should also be careful in the way we interpret sensitive issues like this. The reason why i posted this here because MOGs influence their members directly or indirectly, spirutually and physically, and when sensitive issue like this arise as a servant of God that serves directly under that mog and that doesnt want to faulter in the Lords ways one has to dwell in the midst of counsels, the scripture says in the multitude of counsel their is safety.

Divorce was not part of the contract, if you read your bible well.... Except on grounds of infidelity.

Else, it's till death do you two apart.

The Holy Spirit will never contradict the written word. There is no face of God to be sought on this. God hates divorce.

You can justify anything in the world using the bible. Murder,rape,slavery,genocide,fetishism you name it,it's all in there. No verse in the bible means exactly what it says,it is always subject to the interpretation of the reader at a particular time in a particular place. Hence so much confusion in Christendom and god isn't helping either.

Tell your pastor that the person who wrote the Book of Galatians didn't marry. What about Prophet Hosea that marred a prostitute and didn't divorce her?

The Bible is a two-edged sword. It would take some to heaven, but misuse and misinterptation of the scripture would take many to Hell.

Let your pastor practice polygamy if he likes, your goal is to make heaven. After all, are there not pastors smuggling arms into the country?

Is there anything people don't justify with the scripture?

All denominations like catholics, methodist, baptist, Anglican, pentecostal, c & s, celestial, seventh day, jehovah's witness etc justify what they do with the scripture.

I don tire!

The scripture sef suppose don tire. Why?

People justify alcohol with it.
People justify divorce with it.
People justify tithe with it.
People justify first seed with it.
People justify women speaking in church and not covering their hair with it.

People who eat grass nko?

When anyone thinks of anything he wants to do, he grabs the scripture and looks for justification.

Na so be d nature of religion.

Abeg tell that your pastor to read the context of that scripture he is quoting. Notice the bolded is the standard for Christians today. And the italics is the variable. Even if an unbeliever, the marriage can still work and the individual can be converted.

1Corinthians 7:10 - 13
"To the married people I give instructions, not I but the Lord, that a wife should not separate from her husband.
11 But if she does separate, let her remain unmarried or else be reconciled with her husband; and a husband should not leave his wife.
12 But to the others I say, yes, I, not the Lord:i If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she is agreeable to staying with him, let him not leave her;
13 and if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is agreeable to staying with her, let her not leave her husband.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the brother; otherwise, your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
15 But if the unbelieving one chooses to depart,a let him depart; a brother or a sister is not bound under such circumstances, but God has called you to peace.
1[i]6 For wife, how do you know whether you will save your husband? Or, husband, how do you know whether you will save your wife?"[/i]

Moerover, The only ground for divorce is adultery. Jesus stated at Matthew 19: 3 - 9
3 And Pharisees came to him intent on testing him, and they asked: “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on every sort of grounds?”
4 In reply he said: “Have you not read that the one who created them from the beginning made them male and female
5 and said: ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh’?
6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together, let no man put apart.”
7 They said to him: “Why, then, did Moses direct giving a certificate of dismissal and divorcing her?”
8 He said to them: “Out of regard for your hard-heartedness, Moses made the concession to you of divorcing your wives, but that has not been the case from the beginning.
9[b] I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the grounds of sexual immorality,a and marries another commits adultery[/b]."

To me, as long as the wife didn't fornicate or wants to kill you, you cannot divorce her under christianity. Marriage is a decision for men, A decision you make for life and live with the consequences under christianity.

I had wanted to ask this same question.. Is it allowed for a man to marry another wife, if he divorces his wife on the ground of fornication

Jesus: "And I say unto you, Whosoever shall divorce his wife,except it be for fornication and shall marry another,commits adultery:and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery" - (Matthew 19:9).
