Featured Tenn. assoc. disfellowships church with female pastor

This may be interesting. When I was a boy in school and had a woman teacher I didn't do so well. When I had a man teacher I made good grades. I believe the reason is you can't get away with stuff as easily with a man teacher as you can a woman. Men have a different respect for other men than they do for women. There respect for a woman is a protective one. The respect for another man is that other man's leadership. It's hard for a woman to set a good example for a man. Simply because she's a woman and the man doesn't see what she sees the same way.

How sad that some are vexed with such hangups.

Charles Spurgeon, "The Whole Machinery of Salvation":

"I learned my theology, from which I have never swerved, from an old woman who was cook in the house where I was an usher. She could talk about the deep things of God; and as I sat and heard what she had to say, as an aged Christian, of what the Lord had done for her, I learned more from her instruction than from anybody I have ever met with since."

 

Who cares what Spurgeon said?

 

Then remain single. But you do not qualify to pastor. That's just one of those consequences of divorce.

I love Charles Stanley. But I do think he should have, no matter what good he's doing, should have stepped down after his divorce IMO.

 

Sin is sin, either in Christ-centered marriage or outside of it. IMO, non-Christians are held just as accountable. When they stand before the Great White Throne of Judgment, it will be for rejecting Christ and choosing to disobey what He has commanded. And to not divorce is one of those things.

God takes marriage seriously.

If he came to Christ a few years into his marriage, that means that he and his ( I'm assuming) already saved wife committed another sin of being unequally yoked. Unless his wife is dead, he is committing adultery.

This type of stuff is , I believe, one of the reasons why God takes marriage so seriously.

I'm sure there are some who will say 'that can't be right. Surely God would not have someone who wasn't saved before he got married and divorced" to remain single or be reconciled to his wife?' even if the wife has remarried.

Why wouldn't He?

But praise Him for His grace and His mercy that forgives us even when we sin in such a way.

 

Just about every Calvinist. John Calvin was Spurgeon's forerunner, after all.

 

Zaac doesn't really care! He thinks his word is without reproach! Sad indeed!

 

So you are saying that God can't forgive the sin of DIVORCE? That is brazen! And a little beyond what the Word teaches!

 

Where did anyone say that God couldn't or wouldn't forgive the sin of divorce? He'll forgive the homosexual offense too, but I don't see you or anyone else on here making that known. The heterosexual sin of divorcing and remarrying when the spouse isn't dead should be right up there with living a fornicative homosexual lifestyle.

 

Old news .... more ranting and raving from what has become an old tactic of yours to draw people into nothing arguments. I think they call that "trolling?"

 

I don't get it either! Roflmao

 

Be gone. You just have to make up lies so that you can write something. Sad.

 

No one has said that God can't forgive the sin. What you are failing to acknowledge is that there can still be consequences for that sin. When you get heaven, go ask David if there were still consequences for his sin.

 

No one said he was disqualified from ministry. He's disqualified from pastoring. You're stating subjective situations in which MEN have to decide if someone is disqualified based upon feelings. That's unnecesary because God has already said what disqualifies him from pastoring. A person can fix being a drunkard. The only way to fix the divorce is to go back to the person you divorced.

Marriage is different from addiction.
