na wa.. oo .. Later when you say you wont go to church cause of all this pastor, Somebody will want to tell you that you go there to worship God not pastors, But the fact is When the Teacher is misbehaving .. is it not better to stay at home and pray and read your bible.

My broda.. I will advise u to. Read verse 11 if d same chapter..
God hates divorce, separation is allowed bt he or she is not allowed to marry som1 else..Our Lord Jesus Christ talked abt it in Matthew 19:9..pls d BIBLE is our standard, nt our pastors

Divorce is permissible for the man if the woman commits sexual infidelity or adultery as it is called and it is also allowed for a woman in the case of desertion and adarmance.

(But if the husband or wife who isn't a believer insists on leaving, let them go. In such cases the Christian husband or wife is no longer bound to the other, for God has called you to live in peace.)

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.
why did't u complete it

If God had wanted it to be so, HE would have created EXTRAL Eve for Adam...
Please don't be deceived you MOG is so off point.

If u want to go by that, then I have a simple question for u.

Is it proper for a man to sleep with or marry his own sister or daughter? Pls answer that because I can't remember God creating wives and husbands for Adam and Eve's offsprings.

Christianity is very complicated and the bible is the most complicated book in the world. I can quote u different passages in the bible that contradict themselves. May God help us.

Re: My Pastor Justified Taking Another Wife With Scripture, Is He Right? by jonsing: 10:24am On Sep 06, 2015
Hello all,pls let us read that same 1cor 7:12-16 in another bible translation. I go wit MSG

Vs 12-14 : For the rest of you who are in mixed marriages-CHRISTIAN MARRIED TO NON CHRISTIAN-we have no explicit command from the Master.So this is wat u must do.If you are a man wit a wife who is not a believer but who still wants to live with you,hold on to her.If u are a womanwith a husband who is not a believer but wants to livewit u,hold onto him.The unbelieving husband shares to an extent in the holiness of his wife,and the unbelieving wife is likewise touched by the holiness of her husband.Otherwise,your children would be left out;as it is,they also are included in the spiritual purposes of God.

Vs 15-16 :on the otherhand,if the unbelieving spouse walks out,you've got to let him or her go.You don't have to hold on desperately. God has called us to make the best out of it as peacefully as we can...

Question. 1.Is the wife an unbeliever?
2. Is she the one (the unbeliever) walking. out?
If these two conditions are NOT satisfed,sorry to say,then your Pastor is wrong.


I end with this, 2Peter 1:20 - no prophecy of the scriptures Is of any private interpretation.
Thank you

Those prophet of God that married more than one wife did God punish them for that, abeg free the man joor,if anyone has not committed adultery or sin against God should cast the first stone on him. People cheat on others and do all sort of atrocities yet same people out of greed sees divorce as a crime cos it won't favour them. And if the man or woman refuse to take a divorce to act to gallery end killing each other,same people will say why didn't he or she seek divorce instead. Don't judge him,at the end all of us will our own name.

am not a pastor.....but let me give a contribution.....the BIBLE should not be read in the literal sense but the actual greek/hebrew meanings of the word should be translated and then the actual meaning deciphered in the context......an unbelieving wife/husband....does not fully mean he/she must be born again but also includes unity in purpose i.e oneness in vision or divine purpose
so.....the pastor is partly correct...how? if the "unbelieving wife" ...files "for a divorce"...or "leaves" the husband (sole action must be hers and hers alone)....then the husband is no longer bound to that marriage...(he is still bound before GOD !)....but he is free to remarry ...and not the other way round......i can clarify if there are questions ...thanks

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.

You are wrong, he can only take a wife if and only if his wife his dead and not because of fornication, although he can put his wife away but he can not take another until she dies

the reasons are not justifiable. Unless death cos the bible says that the husband should love the wife as christ love the church, and how did christ loved the church? While we yet sinners

whosoever shall "put away" his wife
you misunderstood that scripture!
Did he put away his wife or did the wife leave? Did he ask her to leave? Did she ask him to leave?

what if there was abuse? violent abuse?
Marriage is not a spiritual thing, it is carnal.

I'm not advocating for divorce or any of such but when a certain party becomes purposely difficult, wicked, unreasonable, violent, abusive, unfaithful, kindly leave to save your life.

pedel:

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

Yea, God hates divorce, but he hates sin too, doesn't He? Yet we sin from time to time, ask for His forgiveness and then we move on enjoying His grace daily.
Truth is, we have this strong anti-divorce sentiments here because of our cultural bias. My question is, most of us who claim divorce is so so wrong, and that a divorcee mustn't remarry, would we have the same belief if we were resident in countries like UK, USA, Canada, Japan etc......
Are we more spiritual in the true sense of the word than people from developed countries? Do we truly please God better than they do?

from my point of view, I don't think d bible permits divorce in any way. fornication means sexual intercourse btw 2 people that r not married therefore a married person cannot commit fornication....xo it is impossible to commit fornication while married to someone else...marriage is 4 better 4 worst, till death do u part...xo he isn't permitted to take a wife until his wife is no more
