Now simple solution again, Kill this guy's ex wife and retain him in reedemed since he waited 10 years for her to die and nothing happened, This is really an unfair judgment, Whats wrong with stopping a wrong marriage that might have been mutually consented by both parties, |

i doubt any report from PM news can be trusted as the truth and typically word of mouth tends to and 'jara' to every story Since an interview with Ituah confirms he has not left RCCG then all these comments are just making a mountain out of a molehill and by the way moving of pastors in RCCG is common, its a good thing its not good when a particular congregation or parish becomes too attached to their leader/pastor. Its a way of reminding you of why you took the call-very humbling the fact that some comments here talk about popularity and power shows what i mean |

This issue hs nothing to do with the General Overseer and should not even generate such reactions. From reports, RCCG has laws that say that a pastor cannot remarry. Note that this law pre dates even the current GO. Every denomination have their own laws. The pastor knew about this law before he joined the church and efore he remarried. Therefore, in making a choice to remarry, he automatically forfeits his appointment as a pator at RCCG. If he wants to continue 'pastorship' he can start his own church. |

i couldnt stop laughing frm @qblaze`s postings.bt the truth is that the church has been turned upside down and i know that the Lord is smewhere crying his eye balls out. when i was growing up as a young catholic,i knew that the church cares 4 the poor,the needy,the orphans and the widows. now these sets of less privilaged caters for the expensive and jet-flying life styles of the new generation GOs. it is very painful.only God willç save us. |

@proudly9ja Supported. I don't know why the pastor had to wait for sack. He knew the laws of rccg before he became pastor. If he cannot abide why stay? What example is he to his flock? or even to christians and the rest of us at large? I wonder what advice he gives people who have marital problems. If his prayers could not save his marriage and he cannot hold body, shouldn't he have chosen the honorable path to step down? As for the GO haters, this is another place to vent your spleen. Just remember there is nothing without consequence. I am quoting physics not the holy book. |

I am a member of Christ Church parish and was in church when Pastor Itua announced his sack 3 sundays ago. It was really sad because he has been an inspiration to all and we miss him so so much. But lets face it, its all in the bible. a christian that divorces and remarries commits adultery. Mark 10 and Matthew 5 says it all. Christians have to abide by the law Moses wrote in the Bible. He was not meant to marry at all until his first wife dies. If she doesn't he should remain single. Its all in the Bible and as a man of God, he should live by the word. As for the sack, it was the elders of the church that unanimously agreed to sacking the pastor, not G.O. Adeboye. He was aware this was going to happen in the first place. he was just praying against it. We all wish him the best 1 Like |

@ r231 no one is saying you have to wait for her death!!! The bible says it all, God hates divorce. and if you dp decide to do it, you have to remain married, otherwise, you will be committing adultery. he must have read the rules a long time ago but he decided to break the rule. also, as for the girlfriend part, it depends on what you base your relationship on. a pastor can have male and female friends but no sexual thoughts. hope that answers your question |
| Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by r231(m): 12:23am On Aug 18, 2009 |
Sonye: oh ok, but for the record my pastor jus got married to another woman about 2yrs ago after the first marriage failed so I take it dats a sin. seriously |
| Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by Sonye(f): 12:31am On Aug 18, 2009 |
yes it is darling. its adultery, which is of course a sin. i didn't write it. its all in the good book called the bible. being a pastor is not that easy. there are so many things you have to abide by. and you have to live your life as an example for others to learn. |

Sonye: hmmm. Where is it in the bible that christians are under the law of Moses? May be there was no need for Jesus to come then. And Jesus should have allowed them to stone the adulterer. Don't get me wrong- The law of Moses was there to enforce right living but it failed! Christians aint under the law of sin and death (Mosaic law) but under the law of Spirit and Life- which is grace in christ Jesus. I still see that many christians don't understand christianity. |

| Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by Sonye(f): 12:43am On Aug 18, 2009 |
@ fyneguy Moses wrote the law of divorcement, Jesus mentioned it and did not change it. You need to learn the bible is the Bible. No one can change it. read it all yourself. @r231 i dont know why he did it. I guess you need to ask him yourself. like i said, i did not write the book. no matter how big or little the church is, a sin is a sin and no man can change what is written |

Jesus reveals more of God's intent about marriage, divorce, and adultery. Back to the Plan of Creation Divorce was commonplace in Jesus' day. Men and women had ignored God's ideal plan for marriage for a long time. Even so, some realized that divorce was not morally right; consequently, there was continuous debate within religious circles on when divorce was acceptable. The controversy centered on "something indecent" in Deuteronomy 24:1. Is it lawful to divorce for any reason? The Pharisees questioned Jesus, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" It was a loaded question. It guaranteed that almost any answer would offend someone and stir up controversy. Jesus responded to this question throughout the entire passage. By asking "Is it lawful, " in Matthew 19:3 (in context with verse 7), the Pharisees were referring to the law of Moses. They believed that greater obedience to the law would raise one up another rung in the spiritual hierarchy. But was this the right question? Instead, purer hearts might have asked, "Is it lawful for a man to remain married to his wife when there are good reasons to divorce?" The Pharisees wanted reasons to break up a marriage; Jesus responded by emphasizing what keeps a marriage together -- God's way. Jesus reminded the Pharisees of God's original purpose and design for marriage from creation. He went back to the original blueprint of the Master Architect rather than argue with some of the contractors over how they built the house. People may fail in the construction of their marriages, but God's original design for husband and wife is flawless. "Haven't you read," Jesus asked the Pharisees, knowing they knew well the Creation account in Scripture, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female?'" God (actually, Jesus Himself -- Col. 1:17; Heb. 1:3; Ps. 33:9) created one man (Adam) for one woman (Eve). God designed and created men and women for each other from the creation of humankind. In verse 5, Jesus confirmed that this creation ideal is the reason anyone (without limiting this to Jews or any other group of people) leaves parents and cleaves to his or her mate in a one-flesh relationship. Anything that destroys the new family structure is contrary to God's will. In verse 6, Jesus concluded by adding, "Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." God joins husband and wife together -- not civil contracts or a sexual relationship. Spiritually they become like one person. No human being is to separate them. This is a creation law of God given before the law of Moses. How are two persons "joined together?" Marriage is both a binding and bonding commitment between husband and wife. They make lifelong vows of fidelity, and God is a witness to these vows. He yokes them together, and those in a single yoke cannot separate themselves without removing the collar. In context, the last part of verse 6 literally says, "and keep on not letting man separate". This is a continuous command throughout a marriage. Why did Moses permit divorce? The Pharisees heard Jesus' response and believed they saw a contradiction with Deuteronomy 24:1-4. They immediately asked Jesus, "Why then did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?" Jesus answered the Pharisees by giving them the reasoning behind Deuteronomy 24:1-4. First, Moses permitted the Israelites to divorce their wives; it was not a command as the Pharisees suggested. Nor did Moses create divorce -- it was already a common practice among the Israelites. The law of Moses was really a damage control measure as divorces occurred. Because adultery usually takes place in secret or seclusion, proof thereof in most instances is by circumstantial evidence, through showing desire, by evidence of mutual affection or otherwise, coupled with opportunity under conditions or circumstances from which a reasonable judge of human nature would be led to conclude that adultery was committed. [Emphasis added.] We must act wisely to arrive at an honest conclusion on this important matter. If reasonable Christians, aware of the relevant facts, believe that the circumstances (through desire and opportunity) support sexual infidelity (porneia), perhaps that is enough to fulfill the intent of verse 9. The teaching that an unscriptural divorce followed by remarriage is adultery is a very hard principle to receive. It shows how important the purity and longevity of a marriage is to God. Who can accept this teaching? In verse 12, Jesus added: "The one who can accept this [teaching] should accept it." Marriage is a matter of free choice; God does not coerce anyone into it. If anyone wants to marry, then he or she should accept the responsibilities of marriage. The couple should glorify God through their union as He intended from creation and honor its permanence and fidelity. Likewise, if anyone remains single, he or she should glorify God as an unmarried individual (1 Cor. 7:32-35). |

Sonye:You re an hypocrite! So until 3sundays ago, Itua has been an inspiration to you and many members of ur parish,,,and am sure U were one of those who attended his wedding 2yrs ago.So you mean U didn't know all these verses U re quoting until he was asked to resign from the church? Now my question is this: Wasn't the GO and the hierachy of the church aware of of his wedding 2yrs ago? who and who were present at the ceremony ? who was the officiating pastor that solemnised the wedding? I was a member of RCCG b4,,,my advise is this; if the GO does not stop listening to all those so called elders and mother of israel,,the fall of the church is imminent.When a church is not built on CHRIST its bound to fail.There is so much men's wisdom in RCCG,,what obtains there now is simply RELIGION. Now a further question; why do we have 2 sets of congregations in RCCG? what is the meaning of Model Parish and what is the meaning of Classical Parish? In one, members dress like deeper life,, the other, members dresses in wuz up style.So isn't that confusing in itself?People just continue to do follow follow without reasoning. As far as I know and based on the Bible,,,Itua is over 1000% correct for his decision to get married,,,pls check 1st Cor. 7 VERSES 15. |

AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THE DECISION TO DISMISS HIM WAS RIGHT. HE HAS BEEN WITH CHURCH FOR MANY YEARS AND I BELIEVE HE ATTENDED MARRIAGE COUNSELLING BEFORE HIS WEDDING. ALSO AS A LEADER WHAT EXAMPLE DO YOU WHAT LEAVE BEHIND FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW? BIBLE MADE CLEAR THAT WHOSOEVER GOD HAS JOINED LET NO MAN PUT ASSUNDER THAT MEANS YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO SEPERATE FROM YOUR SPOUSE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. I BELIEVE THAT IS THE REASON WHY SINGLE ARE ALWAYS ADVISED TO PRAY VERY WELL BEFORE THEY GET MARRIED IN OTHER NOT TO MARRY AN UNBELIEVER. ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD. AN ELDER OR A LEADER IN THE CHRISTIANDOM SHOULD NEVER HAVE MORE THAN ONE SPOUSE ANY THING OUTSIDE THIS IS NOT FROM GOD BUT FROM THE DEVIL.!!! BEFORE U GET MARRIED PRAY AND DONT MARRY AN UNBELIEVER BECAUSE OF MONEY OR BEAUTY. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE. |
