Question 201
Dr. Lutzer, my question is about the qualifications of a preacher according to 1 Timothy.
The Apostle Paul speaks of a man being a husband of one wife. In your interpretation of this, is he speaking of polygamy, or of divorce? My wife’s uncle is a Southern Baptist minister and he believes this pertains to someone who has been married and divorced.
Do you believe a man can be a minister if he has been married, divorced and re-married before he came to know Jesus as his Savior?
