......When Jesus breathe on his disciples he was propagating very God the H.G.....Thats y he said to whom the word came it made them Gods....And that which is born of the spirit is spirit as the H.G. IS SPIRIT.
There is noway God tells you something different that what He has told you in His Gospel, noway. In Revelation the pastor of the church of Ephesus was told good words by the Lord because he tested people that said they were apostles and he found that they were liars. How did he find that? He compared their teachings (and their behaviours) to the written Word. The Gospel is our ruler, we use it to see if something is right or wrong.
So there is no way that God approved smb to become a pastor, say without him being married, as long as his written Word says the opposite.
Visions, prophesies, revelations and so on outside God's Word are always fake.

Please consider reflecting on Psalms 23, Psalms 91, Psalms 37, 1 Corinthians 10: 13-14, 2 Timothy 2:1.
When we come out of it, as the children of Israel did come out of Egypt, we will be numerous and "spiritually" wealthy in then LORD JESUS CHRIST. I am encouraged to watch my LORD work on our behalf, as we carry out HIS commission. Matthew 28: 18-20; John 15:7,8; 1 John 5:14
May our leaders find mercy, grace and faith in GOD'S salvation and lean on HIS wisdom and direction. Proverbs 3: 3-13
Let us stand together in CHRIST our LORD and pray diligently for the peace of Jerusalem as well our own nation. Ps 122:6; 1 Timothy 2:1-4
GOD to shine HIS face on all who worship and praise HIS Holy Name.

I guess you mean something else when you say that God is a divorcee.
Before going to our topic of discussion let's see if divorce is allowed according to the Gospel, and if yes in which cases.
Matthew 5:31-32.
Here it says that the only reason divorce is allowed is due adultery, not for any other reason. If the pair separates for any other reason and gets married again to smb else then in God's eyes this is adultery. God does not accept the separation, for Him the pair are still married together nomatter what churches do.
Next question. I was divorced because my wife went with another guy, can I marry now to another woman?
Answer. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11. Verse 11 says that if a woman is divorced (permitted only due to adultery) then she must stay unmarried or go back to her husband. Same with men. No remarriage is allowed by the Lord even if the separation was legal by the Gospel.
There is only one case that remarriage can be accepted. Romans 7:1-3. Here it says only in the case that one of the pair dies the other person if free to marry again.
So lets go back to what we were discussing.
1. About children
The verses in Titus are clear. A believer can only be elder if his children are in faith. Do you believe that this can change after he has become an elder for sometime and now can remain an elder even if his children are gone away? So different things are required when one is to become an elder and when he has already became one? It doesn't seem right to me.
Deacons. Elders are selected from the body of deacons, that is why the requirements for both elders and deacons are precisely the same. 1 Timothy 3:1-13
Pastors. They are selected from the body of elders. Same requirements.
2. Wifes. The text says " husband of one wife". So it must be "one" and "a wife".
Definitely he must have (not had) a wife, not divorced, not a widower.
One wife means that he cannot keep his ministry if his wife has died or gone away from the house (or has left the faith).

An experience I have had on more than one occasion! The joy of knowing that their is someone close by to receive me, touching and caring in such a heavenly way. Nurses truly are angels. I love them so much!
The present state we are in , is the life we live. Soon , however, this reality will be swallowed up, we shall be awoken soon, unto the voice of His nurses, the{angels} who are waiting to receive us!
Bearing in mind these things that are written, that we have been redeemed, sanctified, justified, and glorified, through the life and death of our Savior. It is His voice that will lead us to the recovery room, the place where the angels are waiting to wake us from this reality. My friends the time is closer than you think! The time to pray is now! Hear His voice as He says come unto me, cast all your care upon Him! He is the Savior of the WORLD! The Christ, the resurrected one!
Repent and be Baptized
Psalms 139:23, 24 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Galatians 5:22-24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
I pray that you will reach out to Him today.:
The true believers walk in the Spirit of God. We are in the Kingdom of God here on earth. When we study the WORD, we use 2 Timothy 2:15 to rightly divide the word of truth. We do not put in vain what Jesus did in the cross. We are sealed and we are going to heaven. While on the flesh we try not to sin to please God. But we are still in the flesh we will still sin if you let your flesh overcome the spirit that is in you. We die daily, but we are saved. God has spoken to people in divers manner in past times to the Jews and Prophets Hebrews 1:1. The book of James has a physical messages for the Jews and spiritual messages for the Gentiles. Salvation is sealing yourself to God. After you are sealed you do the work God the Spirit tells you to do. It is not you who is doing the good work. It is God in you that does all the good work Otherwise if you are the one who is doing the good work you just put yourself in vanity and that is what I called do gooders. Do gooders do good work to please men.unlike true believers do good work because God the Spirit help them to do good work to please God and Glorify God. God completed everything when He died on the cross and we do not put that act of grace in vain. The people who are saved have faith in God. Their faith do not need work because Jesus did it all. No true believer in the blood can claim and pat themselves in the back and say Lord I did good work on earth so I deserve to go to heaven. True believer says Lord I am a sinner and I thank God He sent His only begotten son to die for me instead of me going to hell. Your grace o Lord is sufficient to save me from this evil world. I confess I sin against your Holy name I am so sorry. With the help of the Holy Spirit I will listen to do your will and not my will to be holy until you come and meet you in the cloud to heaven. While we are in the body we always remember 2 Corinthians 5:1-21 andallversesinthebiblethatappliesincurrentsituation
......Rev.12:10 Now is come Salvation and the kingdom of our God and strength...And the power of our God and his Christ ( the baby the H.G. ) ....We be the woman the world the field where that good seed was sown....The contents of that Book that he wrote with his own blood that New Covenant.
......Plz note No Salvation can come till the book is opened as God told Daniel in 12:9 )....Impling no kingdom can come till the book is opened simply b/c the words of the Book are the seeds of the sower that is gonna form Christ in us...Our King...Unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child ( THE MANCHILD) you will in NO WISE ENTER THERE IN....Which answers to that Child of Promise....Remember the great Promise that Christ wd be multiplied as the stars of heaven..Thus the sower and his seed...The contents of the book...That New Covenant..An Israel of God which are spirits the H.G. plural That heavenly Jacob as in Isaiah 49 has to come in that last Day..But No Salvation can come till we birth the Child which is the H.G...The Child of Promise.
.....And thats y Jeremiah 30:6, ...he saw ALL men in travail and birth pains...A time of Jacobs troubles....The tares are the wheats troubles....The Wheat are baby Christ simply b/c the sower of the good seed is the bridegroom...Thus a warfare between the manchild and the dragon...The Tares SATAN....And this war is raging with in us.....But the Kingdom is gona be with in us.
Thank you.

Acts 23
Thank you for giving us Jesus so that we were cleansed in Jesus' sacrifice Once for all people. He is. Thank You for looking at Reuben Lord, let Reuben let Jesus into his life, so that he receives the Holy Spirit and can get help in prayer, help to cast out the evil demons who are always out to steal it we have received. Who is always out to destroy what is good. To stand against them forever and ever. Help Him You Lord because then everything will be fine.
And Ruben will grow in knowledge and gain certainty of salvation so that he and all of us who have received this gift will stand in the fight until the last day of the world, together with You Lord and Master Jesus Christ. We will forever praise Your holy name, and always proclaim Your salvation, Amen
Acts 23
In my post I was simply speaking to the request of the original poster on the thread. But thank you for your perspective you gave me in these 4 posts.
I do not think I was being argumentative at all in my post, so your words implying that I am being so seem unwarranted.
Just to be clear, my viewpoint on eschatology, especially, concerning the rapture and return of Jesus are based on what I've read in Scripture, not from research. I gave a few of those Scriptures that form my view. There are many more, but I do not think I need to give ALL of them for my comment to be considered based on Scripture.
I plan to get back to you tomorrow with the ways that the Early Church Fathers, which Chris mentioned, differed in their eschatology from Darby.
I am not on this forum to be a teacher. I am just another believer who shares what I believe to have learned from Scripture, like you. I have never claimed to be a teacher, nor to have an expectation for anyone to change their view to mine.
Also, your implication that researching is spiritually dangerous seems to reveal an anti-intellectual bias. But I may be wrong in that assessment. I doubt that most people on this forum, nor believers in general only study the Bible. I venture to guess that most believers read books from Christian authors or watch videos from from Christian teachers, pastors, etc. or research online to read up on some aspect of Biblical thought or other ideas running through the church in these times. I admit to doing this. I have learned a lot. It helps me rather than harms me. But everyone chooses for themselves on this matter.
You challenged me to present my viewpoints using Scripture. I get that. And I do this often. But some posts really simply are giving a viewpoint or opinion on a topic, and are not authorative in any way. These viewpoints or opinions can give Scriptures to support it or not. I do not see in the guidelines that this HAS to be done. Talk tomorrow.
I would like prayer for myself(Nikki) for a new place to live,Protection emotionally from my incestious unbalanced family members and other emotional pirates.I would also like prayer for Provision,Big Love,Big Joy,discernment and Good health for myself and anyone that helps me on a daily basis trying to keep me afloat.Ty,Nikki
