I cannot, in good Christian conscience, subject myself to the leadership of a pastor who is divorced and "remarried." I left a church over this matter several years ago. It was as if the pastor's adultery sanctioned those in the congregation to do the same. Several other pastors and deacons within this church, as well as many of the members, were divorced from their Biblically lawful spouses and legally (according to man) married to someone else.
The church's light regarding of fornication and adultery has undoubtedly paved the way for its growing acceptance of sodomy. I cannot be convinced otherwise. Very good observation Lady Virtue. I couldn't agree more. Some pastors seem to see that the gift of preaching they have justifies them staying on as pastor even after divorce and remarriage. Some even use the scriptures to justify the divorce and remarriage. |

"What exactly is the "gift (v. 8) of God?" Arminians have often appealed to a point of Greek grammar that they believe makes it impossible for "faith" to be the "gift" to which Paul refers. The word faith, they argue, is feminine in gender, whereas the pronoun translated that (and that not of yourselves) is neuter. Had Paul intended to describe faith as the gift he would have used the feminine form of the pronoun. To what, then, does the word that refer? What is the 'gift of God? Some point to the "grace (v. 8)" by which we have been saved. But the word "grace," like "faith'" is also feminine in gender. Therefore, if 'that which is not of ourselves' cannot refer to "faith," far less can it refer to "grace," which has the added liability of being even farther removed in the sentence from the pronoun "that.". So what is Paul saying? What is the antecedent of "that?" Clearly the '"gift of God" is salvation in its totality, a salvation that flows out of God's grace and becomes ours through faith. From beginning to end, from its inception to its consummation, salvation is a gift of God to his elect. Consequently, that faith by which we come into experiential possession of what God in grace has provided is as much a gift as any and every other aspect of salvation."
