Well the point is, they were married regardless. So as a minister, because he 'gets' what happened and knows why it's gone bad, he should recommend divorce?
I wouldn't say that he recommended a divorce
She clearly didn't want to be married a point which crystallized as the show went on
As Paul said if a spouse wants to depart let him/her depart .. So he was simply telling the man to accept the fact that she had no desire for the marriage.
We are called to peace so I believe the bishop was correct on this one
I think TD just became a social advisor that leans to humanistic reasoning and psychology instead of pointing them to repentance and submission to Jesus as Lord and Savior and reminding them of the power of God to take something flawed and make it beautiful if they will make GOD the center of their COVENANT.
The pastor of the largest (regular) Pentecostal church in Oslo had his own "show" on one of the national channels for a while. I'm not sure how much good it did, it seemed very watered down and restricted by the secular channel. He's not anything like that when he preaches in his own church and elsewhere.
Being a little harsh there Quest
Question: what if Joseph had attempted to point Pharaoh to his father and his covenant before the time when pharaoh himself asked to meet Joseph's father ? Beheading perhaps ?
Jesus himself held back on saying certain things to certain people cos they weren't ready for it at the time . He himself said not to cast pearls before swine .
The whole premise of the said show was saving marriages and stopping divorce and the woman in question who had already filed for divorce was pretty adamant that she doesn't want to be married and was even belligerent towards TD Jakes on the show .
Asking the guy to accept the obvious was neither psychological nor humanistic . It was biblical .
