Question
What is your feelings on a divorced man being made an Elder?
Thanks,
Rhonda.Crawford@tdprs.state.tx.us
Good question, I honestly thing it would hinder on what was the reason that the man was divorced. The New Testament states the one reason that God will allow divorce is adultery. If the ex-wife of this man committed adultery and that was the reason he divorced her, he had biblical right to do so. If he is man that is biblically qualified to be an Elder despite his divorce, he should and could serve and function as a good Elder.
Thankyou and God Bless you Rhonda, if you have any more questions please feel free to ask
