Minister: according to the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance Greek reference 1249 - to run on errands; an attendant, generally a waiter, such as one at a table or in other menial duties. Using this definition and making a comparison to the true ministers spoken about in the Holy Bible, it is apparent that one who has this position is a servant to others. The chief example being Jesus Christ, and then Apostles, Prophets and other righteous people who lived as examples to follow. These men are the only true ministers who were appointed by God to receive information and instruction for mankind.

That is only if it is a wrong second marriage. If her husband beat her, slept around, threatened her life it may be scripturally ligit. Was the pastor also divorced? Lots of possibilities... 2. Re: femaleBible Research, Unregistered a pastor i know is married to a divorced woman is this wrong — Guest UserWe cannot make a judgement on this without knowing the circumstances. What is more important is what does he teach. Does he teach what is taught in the Bible? You can tell by comparing what the Bible teaches to what the Pastor teaches. Please see studies on this site "True Ministers" and "Clergy". 1. femaleGuest User, Unregistered a pastor i know is married to a divorced woman is this wrong |
