Op your Pastor skipped verse 6.read it

1 Corinthians 7:6 (KJV) But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment

Lemme guess!!! Your pastor is CHRIS OYAKHILOME right? I knew it!!!!! That man who wants to eat his cake and have it!!! Shoroniyen for you'll if you believe it oooo!

Gombs:


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.

Bro, based on Matt. 19:9 (KJV).... which stated that the only ground for putting away one's wife is fornication, I don't think your assertion is totally true, because once one is married, one can only commit adultery; so even for adultery, he still can't divorce her and remarry. If he does remarry, he too becomes an adulterer.The young maidens of Israel weren't permitted to have s3x before marriage (fornication). I believe whoever did and then got married could be put away (remember Joseph wanted to put away Mary until he was warned of God). My opinion though. The bible could be difficult to interpret at times. Happy Sunday y'all

Is it god that called him or he called himself,this one na man for god not man of god.generation of vipers

no

PastorOsamede:
"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.

the Pasta is a crook if I may say,if he's a real man of God then he should know that he answer to his deeds when Dad calls.


Why didn't he reflect on Matt 19:9 ? Truely, men just wanna jjustiify their evil deeds.

Debeloved87:
like i said she also is a christian, they found themselves and marry in the church

Maybe your pastor discovered things about the wife that made him doubt if she's genuinely saved.
If that's the case, then I believe he is right. That scripture applies to cases where one of the couple isn't saved.

God help us.

Debeloved87:
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?

he is absolutely n totally wrong. N he s misinterpreting d bible likewise

Ok

You've said it all.... I don't hav to commente anymore..... Na conji d worry d pastor.... D only tin dat wud make a man take anoda wife is wen she comit adultry or wen she's dead..... A pastor took my aunt as his wife cos d real wife is dead bt has 3kids 4rm her anyway..... So Op, take dis scripture to ur pastor and also tell him all dis.... If need be, show it to him in d congregation

Tell your pastor to read 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 which says; But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife. More so, he is advice to read matt: 5:32, matt: 19:9, luke 16:18, Romanse 7:2, Hebrew 13:4, 1Cor 7:39 and malachai 2:16.

The so called man of God has erred,he is purely an adulterer.he needs to repent and accept Christ into his life.there's no
two way to it.his action negates the word of God.

Jesus our lord and saviour gave only one option to divorce and it's bending on only cases of INFIDELITY by any party. Your pastor did what every other pastsor does, which is misinterpreting the bible to suit every situation they find themselves in. The proliferation of churches and the development of new ideas, is as a result of the diverse interpretation pple give to the bible. Just be careful!!!

Osisie:


This is ur definition of "warning people"
The pastor isn't even here to read ur "warning". Plus, I thought the "warning" is supposed to with love and in secret.

U forget u're not without sin urself. Stop throwing stones. I blame the op for posting this. It's a matter he should have taken to GOD on his knees. Why report someone who sins to a fellow man? Why not report to GOD?

Read what the op said:

"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."

The op had no intention to judge or condemn the pastor.

Earlier pastors married more than one wife. Some christian denominations also believe that marriage to more than one wife is not a sin.


I don't see the problem. Should he stop enjoying sex and companionship because of an issue which might or might not be his fault? . Don't come crying when choir members tart getting pregnant o

Foolísh hypocrites

When it comes to quotes from the old testament that favors their selfish desires, they use it strongly. When it comes to other senseless and barbaric laws, they will tell you that "it is old testament, Jesus came to change everything..." Mumu people

Even infidelity is not enough to divorce your spouse. True Christians are all aware of that. The Bible laid so much emphasis on forgiveness. Marriage is " for better for worse till death do us part"

caprini1:
what about if the woman in question was actually a serial adulterer,but the Pastor out of shame,don't want to mention that?

TRUE

prettystacy:

Lie

Point of correction to y'all who are saying ADULTERY is the only option for divorce.

The only reason in the bible given by Jesus Christ for divorce is FORNICATION.

Please understand that fornication cannot be committed by a married person. And if a person is married, it therefore means that he cannot use that as an excuse to divorce his wife or her husband.

I'll give a practical example.
Mary the mother of Jesus got pregnant out of wedlock; this would mean that she committed fornication. At this point, Joseph had all the right to say
'I'll no longer marry MARY as she has commited fornication'

The difference here is that the Holy Spirit came to him and told him not to worry because the child in mary's womb was not as a result of fornication.

Peradventure, knowing that she was pregnant and marrying her anyway, he will have no right in the near future to divorce her for that very same reason of fornication.

You're married, you're married. For sake of saving lives in cases of abuse, please separate but know that you may not remarry until your spouse is dead.

So, my dear Op, your pastor appears to be reading the bible to suit his selfish lusts, I suggest you leave that church before you become poisoned by such teachings.

Ur pastor is making excuse for his lasciviousness. He is a sinner

SHAME ON YOU FOR BRINGING A VERY SENSITIVE ISSUE LIKE TO THE PUBLIC

nzgal:
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]."

so much unnecessary contradictiins....
who is the lord?
who is jesus christ?

the lord said that you can let your unbelieving spouse go if they so wish to go..
Jesus christ said that the only ground to seperate from your spouse is adulrery

keep confusing yourself

Another is it right, is it wrong thread, most humans finds a scripture in the Bible just to justify their actions, the part he even quoted ain't synonymous to marrying another wife, ain't deep with the Bible, but all I know is that the Holy book frowns at divorce, and only encourages a widow or a widower to re marry, if he or she can't cope by staying alone.

just4now:
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.

What are you saying? I don't get it.
Are u saying that the Holy Spirit will sometimes lead us against God's word?
Are you also saying Christians cannot determine (judge) what is right/acceptable to God through the moral code (Bible)?

Debeloved87:
like i said she also is a christian, they found themselves and marry in the church

dat means ur pastor iz nt to be trusted. Bible forbids divorce except either of d partner fornicate

Fornication according to dictionary.com is " Voluntary s3xual intercourse between two unmarried persons or TWO PERSONS NOT MARRIED TO EACH."
